Matcher said: 4/5 nice and peaceful episode, but I think it's time for action. only 8 episodes left ): gahhhh the slow way things are progressing makes it look like this is being written as a 2-season show; considering it's co-written by someone as important as Gen Urobuchi I wouldn't say it's out of the realm of possibility. SECOND SEASON COME TO MEEEE This was a nice, slow episode to focus on character development but you're right, it's time for action and plot progression. Unless the major spoiler (read: major spoiler, do not read unless you want your heart crucified and burnt at the stake. Got it? Still want to read it? You sadist. |
| Hm.. Nothing really happend. But a nice episode I guess. |

| Didn't read the spoiler, but hey, it's Urobuchi we're talking about. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole Gargantia fleet went up in flames when the Galactic Alliance or/and the Hidiaazu find Earth. |

If that's true, I TOTALLY CALLED IT THAT HE WAS LYING THROUGH HIS TEETH IN THAT INTERVIEW |
| Nice episode with a bit of backstory. Ledo crying when he heard the flute was sweet, as was the crew collecting the rain together. |
Pknoctis said: I'm guessing the kid in the flashback was his little brother. Was the little brother killed off because he had a defect? That's what it looks like to me. |

That scenario is also nice!!!!! That meant Ledo is old man! LOL.... But....TT^TT... it also sadden me too |
 |
| ouch, the way Ledo talked to Amys little brother was a bit harsh |
| Damn I actually shed a manly tear when they showed Ledo's little flashback. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Ledo's crying .. I really like this series. Every episode is interesting~ so sad that this is only 12 episodes.. |
| I love how Ledo's trying his best to speak Japanese. This entire being-a-soldier thing is pretty sad for Ledo. So, Ledo cries because he recalled something that involves his brother maybe. But which of them was Ledo? I hope we find out more. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| Pretty nice and calm episode :) |
eminagnam said: Not much developed. It felt like a filler. Sometimes I wonder if people here know what a filler actually is... |
 |
| Interesting a slight flashback some well his whole world is changing, all what he lived for is now totally difference, he sure must be confused. Either way a pretty good episode, lets see what's next! |
 |
| Finally figured out what this series reminds me of. There's a series of YA sci-fi novels by the author Beth Revis called Across the Universe. The main character is a human who's come out of hibernation and found themselves in a world where humans live completely differently from how humans lived in the main character's time and place. Despite the vast differences in culture, the main character eventually befriends the first person they meet in this new world. Main character in that one is even called Amy, like the female lead in Gargantia. Male lead's names are similar too - Elder? Ledo? I mean... beyond that there are a lot of differences, but the thought just occurred to me. Anyway. I've enjoyed the action so far, but I enjoyed this episode too. I appreciate that they're trying to flesh out the world these characters live in. The scene where they were collecting rainwater was a nice touch. I'm really enjoying this, and I've also just found out there's going to be a second season. Good vibes all around. Bring on the next episode. |
 |
| That flashback although very brief revealed a lot. Ledo must feel very awkward in this society than the one that he was in. Them feels. Very nice episode. |
| It was meh. I really wonder how old the kid, Bebel is, because he sure doesn't think like a kid does, and it slightly annoys me, a little kid who knows it all. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| good episode I may have a shed a few tears I thought ledo was going to tell bebel he need to die XD lol |
 |
| the beginning was pretty boring, but the end of the episode was precious. That memory of the flute and flashback gave me some feels. |
~my list
| Okay I'm starting to see why people like this show now. The world building and music are great and I like the idea of a foreigner learning about how Earth works. Looking forward to more. Also...His Japanese reminds me of Chaika's LOL |
| This is an amazing series so far, exactly my type of show. But I am kind of afraid that it's going to turn out bad, because the rating is kinda low here. I mean so far, this series is MILES better than that piece of crap Aldnoah. Incredible visuals, nice music and most importantly, a story that explores different societies, just like Shinsekai yori. |
 |
| The ED for this series is amazing. ToG25thBaam said: Well what else are you going to do if you are physically inept... If he was stupid and simplistic, I think Ledo would hate him.It was meh. I really wonder how old the kid, Bebel is, because he sure doesn't think like a kid does, and it slightly annoys me, a little kid who knows it all. |

| This episode reminded me of that Kurt Russell movie soldier. I kinda cant decide if i like this show or not but im stil watching it |
| boring dropped |
 |
| This was a really cute and sweet episode :) |
| Wait, that scene in flashback. Ledo has a son or I got it backwards? lol |
| We get a bit of backstory, but that's pretty much it. They stil treat him pretty unfair imo. |
| he's slowly learning the language and how to mingle with Earthlings lol |
       |
| sad ending what a bummer |
| Eventually, you'll leave. |
 |
| The flashback had no dialogue to glean much from, but I'm guessing Ledo also had a younger brother at some point, but he was "disposed of" for not meeting the physical specifications of the Galactic Alliance? The first episode mentioned a homeworld called "Avalon" where Ledo could've potentially retired to, so it does seem harsh to kill off his relatives instead of just allowing them to live a civilian life if they aren't fit to be combatants — unless overpopulation was a potential concern for the space colony. |

| Uh oh. Is Ledo going to have to eventually put Chamber down or something? Like Ledo won't want to leave, but Chamber is going to make him? Also is Ledo a clone? It really looks like it. I had a feeling he'd be a clone because he didn't even know what a family was and the thought of siblings seemed completely alien to him. What exactly is the alliance, and what are they hiding Great episode! Probably my favorite so far! |
