So a ship has set sail, but I'm calling it.

Either one of them dies, or both of them die.

I must try a bowl of Ari-men.

Mitty and Chiharu make such a cute couple! I find Mitty's chubiness to actually be quite adorable and he seems like such a sweetheart. Please don't kill them off!!

Really nice interaction between Mitsuo and Chiharu in this episode, they're so cute! With the next episode preview it seems like one of them will die but I almost think it's too obvious for the death to be one of them. Kinda confused at how we're halfway through the series and Ignacio still has barely any development.

This episode was kind of meh for me; hopefully the next episode will make up for it.

Pure filler episode.

Ari will definitely find out about Claire being Nina first (bandaged fingers)

That death flag........ sighs...... and I actually liked this couple (Mitty reminds me of a timid version of the fatty from High school of the dead).

Aaaand the admiral is a perv. XD

Can't wait to see who dies the Glorious death next ep. Could be surprising.

Whoa, whatever happen to those unidentified planes that've appeared last episode, I mean no awesome air to air battle that have transpired?


So they've reach the holy spring and they wanted expendable trainees to do the recon.

Ari-men, that's quite an orgasmic concept, not bad for them enterprising class-2 commoners.

Lol at all the people complaining about "nothing" happening. This episode is the calm before the storm. The group's having a good time now with all their friends but what happens if something goes horribly wrong in their next mission? Imagine if this episode didn't exist and then in the next episode Chiharu and Mitsuo died. Do you think any of us would care (as much)? It would just look like two of Kal's friends died, poor them. Shit just got real. Next. And then by the end of it, people will just complain that this series has no character development and felt hollow. Smh.

That said, I hope Chiharu or Mitsuo doesn't die :(


This, you just said what I wanted to say in a proper manner. I would go 'fuck you mofo, calm down, this episode has a fucking thing for the next episodes to come. fuckyou". Glad I don't have to type that.
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes!
Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!"

See,the problem is that all the trainees are FILLER MATERIAL and barely anything else,therefore making it hard to care for them regardless of whether this episode existed or no(if anything,this episode just felt like a cheap atempt to do just that,shallow character development doesn't make up for actual one). The adults are side characters as well but at least they help the story move forward instead of wasting precious time on such filler episodes. We all know the real meat of this anime revolves around Karl & Claire.

These complaints come from the fact that this show has the potential to be pretty damn good but it can also easily turn into a trainwreck with just a few wrong steps,especially since it has a story that could most likely cover 2-cours yet it only gets one to work with one. As such,it can hardly afford to waste precious time on things that don't contribute to the main story.

I didn't even need to see the preview to know that either Mitty or Chiharu will probably die pretty soon. At least, the fat guy got the girl even though it may be a short time. I could be wrong though, we'll see next week.

^ Same! I started crying at the end, because I could sense death flags for one or both of them. Ugh the only canon couple so far will suffer :(

Was a mediocre episode (same as Log Horizon's restaurant episode) but the last part made me bump up the rating a bit. I do like the development that the adults are adding into the story, but could they find it a more interesting way to throw it in instead of a ramen-centric episode? LOL

Before this I thought Chiharu was really annoying, even more than Ari.

I bet they'll get into trouble and one of the instructors will sacrifice themselves to save them. Or not, either way nothing of value will be lost.

So character development is an excuse for bad writing and useless padding then? good to know.

Laid back episode. I'm always amazed by the reaction of the people eating the ramen...it got to be something special if it gives you instantaneous orgasm after the first bite.

I like character development, but I can't even remember half of these people's name let alone really care about their development. Just get on with the plot, this episode was cool but a waste of an episode that could have been used for something more productive.

But then she said "Hold my hand" in that adorably cute sincere voice.

Oh yeah, big ol' smelly death flags coming from the forced, shallow development of Mitty x Chiharu. Feels like a cheap attempt to draw out the audience's emotions.

This was a bit of an "eh" episode, compared to what we've seen from the last 5. And it wasn't because of its "calm before the storm" aspect; a lot of shows do that, and it's not a bad idea to have a moment of respite before the real shit hits the fan, or in this case the airscrews. I have to say, it's mainly due to the unnecessary focus given to the side characters who's roles have already been defined as peripheral.

4/5

This series I like, but also leaves me unsatisfied, I feel as if every time I was missing something.
Plot that dissociates the couple KalXNina for MittyXChiharu, Yay!
Rough drawing, gosh!
I wonder if with the next installment in this series will take off or will all postponed to a possible second series, who knows?
If there was a bit of drama would not hurt, given the subdued tones too contracted by the narrative.

I hope neither Mitsuo nor Chiharu die. Usually only the main characters end up together, and him having a not so favorable physique on top of being a side character that wasn't even shown all that much made that really stand out over other anime.

Kal x Nina is obvious - until he figures out who she really is. Most likely they will end up together anyways.

Dear god, a girl scared of fighting and a too much confident fatty guy having some romantic time before a battle... Death flaaaaaag
And to add to that, the next episode title is ''An heroic death'', that's just too much coincidence xD

Man, those ramen got me hungry :P
Huh, did the blond-haired officer had an orgasm eating those ramen..? Damn, they must be good.

I think that Kal and Claire relationship is a bit turning in round. It's like the two of them are pushing themself away. It's a bit annoying.

The preview for next episode has me worried. I hope the sudden Chiharu development isn't what I think it is.


Ari-men, lol. I'd like to try it one day. Based on the expression by Sonia it has to be heart stealing good.
