| Plus the idea that one or more of them has been stalking the crew of the Gargantia all this time is.. creepy to say the least. THEY SWAM IN THERE. |
| I like how the dancing didn't suck like a certain A-1 show we had. |
| Amy was just so attractive this episode. Ledo should just get it on with her, but I doubt he even knows what love is, and this series doesn't seem to have much romance in it. Also, was that a squid at the end, or really a Hidiaze?? Most people seem to think it snuck through the loophole with Ledo. |

| This was such a good episode. Loving the 2 fanservicey episodes in a row. But it looks like next episode should be back to storyline and octopus enemies. |
 |
| Yeah... Amy is supposed to be 15 and all those old men are gawking at her >.> pedo-alert |

Waiting for dem doujinshis, hopefully by the original character design creator. |
First blush Look how subtlety is this anime: Before private dance After private dance Before you call it stretch |
 |
| Another relaxing episode with some dancing, huehuehue. Dat private one towards the end of the episode. Looks like Ledo is trying to get some more work, hopefully this "Salvaging" is exactly what he is looking for. Though this Hidiaze just appeared, or what I think it is what the people on Gargantia is calling a "whale-squid(?)". Well seeing Chamber confirming it being a Hidiaze, I think we have a some action coming next episode!  |
 |
| Wait, I have just realized, this is the world where squid girl's invasion is success. Now, her army is invading the universal. |

| I want some plot already, not liking this feel good fan service episodes. |
| Things I've learned from watching Suisei no Gargantia: 1. Unless you slap people in the face with it, they just will not recognize character development. Subtlety is well and truly dead, if it ever lived at all. 2. Give a dog a bone and he'll bite your hand. Give him two and he'll bite you twice. 3. People somehow have come to think that "Sci-Fi=TONS OF ACTION!!!!!!!!!" when it actually doesn't, at all. I would blame Star Wars, but that was always meant to be more fantasy than Sci-Fi. News flash: Classic Sci-Fi is/was rarely action packed: Original Star Trek anyone? Sci-Fi was always more about characters and character stories than action. 4. The only appropriate development/dialogue must be done during intense space/water battles with every female character in a burqa. Actually, why do they even have females? Females just take time away from the space battles, which we all know are the real story here. 5. My first impression, based on lazy watching, must always be proven correct or the author/creator/director is wrong and is stupid and fuck this stupid talky-talk show. If I wanted talking and character development and subtlety I would go watch You Got Mail or some girly shit like that. I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) |

Man_Child said: Tyrel said: Man_Child said: Tyrel said: Uhm regarding the Hideauze, I wonder how it got there. Maybe one went through when Ledo got sucked in by the Loop-hole or they were once originated from Earth. So many theories could come from this. It looked similar to the one that attached to Chamber during the space battle in the first episode(minus the snail shell), but I'm not sure. Didn't it end up getting destroyed by one of the federation pew pew lasers? Yeah it did get destroyed, but I mean others could have went through the loop without showing us. That's a definite possibility. Either way it would make for a nice plot twist/interesting ending if Ledo was somehow indirectly responsible for a Hideauze invasion. I don't see why they would of been in hiding all this time if they were already on earth. There's something fishy here. It would make more sense if Ledo was pulled into the past through the hole, then discovered the origin of these Alien-fish-like thing. But my theory got destroyed when heard from Amy's little brother that there was a legend about people escaped the earth and lived in space. So to the point, Ledo current time is - perhaps - the present. Perhaps it got sucked along with Ledo into the hole, but it doesn't make much sense if there's only 1 being of Hideauze. I guess 99.7% means that squid is the origin, and it hasn't developed like the Hideauze( wasnt able to confirm its flying ability). So my assumption is that Ledo will find out about the origins, and their nest. |
| dammit ledo....fuck her already...well too soon for that... |
bastek66 said: First blush Look how subtlety is this anime: Before private dance After private dance Before you call it stretch LOL omg nice catch. Indeed it is subtle. I mean especially that gif, cannot be a coincidence. j0x said: nah thats not a Hideauze its just a giant whale squid I was thinking of that as well, but then I would think a whale squid actually looks something like a hybrid between a whale and a squid? Then again, "whale" could just mean that the squid is huge in size...? It would be kind of anti-climatic is it really is just a whale squid though. |
Hideauze>>  Whale-squid Any connection?? I love this scene.... |

| To be fair to the people who are complaining, the first four episodes were better. I understand that the last two episodes have been an effort to frame Ledo's gradual integration into society and his subsequent realization that tits and ass are amazing there are a myriad of joys and experiences to be found aside from the monotony of military service. The problem is, they weren't executed half so well as say, the first episode, in which you're able to infer [through natural dialogue] that: he lives in a militaristic Darwinist society where proper citizenship and the right to reproduction are only earned through martial service and that he'd spent his entire life in either his robot or other vat-like areas being cultivated into a competent warrior so that he can pass on his genes and produce a child who will likewise live the same cyclical lifestyle in order to preserve the human race [as encounters with the Hideaze have an incredibly high mortality rate]; and all that you learn in the first 4 minutes. These last two episodes, on the other hand, have had a few parts that I'd deem unnecessary, like perhaps the 'rapish' trannies, the skinny girl's shallow worries about getting fat, or the lotion scene. Not to mention having the stoic leadership figure Ridgett wearing the "risque" bikini [Bellows I understand, but Ridgett?], or the part where grown men are watching 14-16 year old girls gyrating in skimpy outfits. Now, being a 17 year old guy, I certainly don't mind me some fanservice, but that bit was actually kind of creepy. At any rate, these last two certainly haven't been bad [especially this one, as it served for character building, romance, and to move the plot along in the form of Ledo getting a job that will obviously lead to the discovery of treasure plot devices], but they haven't been as great as the first four either. |

skudoops said: I'm going assume the squid dudes in space were genetically altered squid dudes from earth, to be used as a food source.. and they just happened to get out and multiply like crazy while devouring whatever in their path. It would explain why the Hideauze glow, having originated from the "galaxy sea" and all. |

Pusswookie said: but they haven't been as great as the first four either. But ofc they're still better than a bunch of airing show *cough *valvrave and other stuff. (except SnK and Hataraku). |
| This episode felt really slow again but the cliffhanger-type ending really made up for it. Chamber made an analysis and it seems to be that the white squid is recognized as Hideauze. I'm like 'holy shit!' Finally this anime is going places. Seeing Amy dancing and all was enjoyable but there were so many titty shots lol. Also, Bellows looks so hot, had to put it out there. xD |
 |
| My thing is that Chamber knows the difference between an undersea creature and a Hideauze. He's identified sea creatures for Red, and yet he states that this creature is a 99.97% confirmed Hideauze. So what's up? A regular squid can't be the same as the Hideauze since the Hideauze obviously can survive and fly around in space, as well as are predatory to humans. So how can the two species be that similar? I can see 75% or 80% but 99.97%?! |
| I want the shit going down soon. After all the development. Its would have an impact to kill some of the characters now. |

| Nice green lights in the background while Amy is dancing... |
| Haha...calm before the storm I believe... thing should start rolling from next episode now that even Hideauze appear. |

| I don't mind fanservice (most of the time), but it annoyed me a bit in this episode. It just doesn't feel necessary for this show. I also don't like the overtly forced camera perspectives of fanservice like what is displayed in the first GIF image in the first post of this thread. It reminded me of High School of the Dead (I absolutely hated the fanservice in that show). Hopefully...this is as bad as it gets for this show (referring to the fanservice, not the show itself).

These are my thoughts as well. I'm not one of those people that only want action...I'm fine with slice-of-life material, but those unnecessary things (in my opinion) from the last couple of episodes have hampered my enjoyment of the show. |

I mean now he notices Amy as a girl and females in general when in episode 1 girls were the last thing on his mind. What makes this growth work is how all of this is being told through subtle details that Production IG puts into the show. At dinner when Bellows was arguing the blonde guy(forget his name all the time) he wasn't even paying attention to them but to Amy, Saaya, and Melty dancing on stage. The fanservice in this context worked for me for what it was trying to establish with Ledo ^ This guy. He gets it. LOL At people complaining about fanservice this ep. It was obviously used for a purpose. Ledo is becoming human like my mans over here just said. Agreed. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |

Something like Aku no Hana wouldn't serve much to this purpose. |
RyanSaotome said: Another reason why the men on Gargantia may like teenage girls is because there apparently aren't any women over the age of 22 on the ship.  The pirate queen is 19?? Now THAT's preposterous. Ridget, too. How old is the captain, 30? HA. |
OfficialGuts said: Good episode but.. I think the biggest problem with SnG is that the first 5 minutes of episode 1 gave everyone false hope about what this anime would be or at least most of it. Its genre is closer to a slice of life than action mecha. Anyway hopefully we get some action in the last few episode at least. As always, the animation and artwork was really beautiful. For those who watched the preview trailer it was exactly like what the series is panning out to be. Also this dance makes me wish for a full animated dance from Morgiana... not the 10 second clip we got. Awesome bit in the manga to skimp on :/ Loved the background music in this ep a lot! |

| Cute, but here is to the hope we will finally get back to action and story in the next episode. Still 6/10, fanservice only shows we have enough. |

The only thing to add here is stating the obvious - Bellows is hot, way more so than the rest. Steal and upgrade Yoko's design - pure win. |
