THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I think Dio should put more faith into Aoba. I mean, that kid isn't the best pilot but he's trying.

Action was kinda meh but that new recruit still impresses me with his skills. Heh, shitty weather in this episode. Hina is not messing around this time. Uh oh.

The research showing "the guy from the past" is affecting the two for not able to couple each other. "Fromm" guy is really good at suggesting. I thought he would choose, though. The enemy keeps fighting back with more stronger weapons each time.

Hina's grudge again...

AOBA AND HINA FINALLY STUCK TOGETHER
TWO FUCKING MONTHS OF WAITING FOR THIS

Nice! The couple finally get lost on a deserted island to spend nice time together. I have been hoping for this since episode 2. They did a really good job of showing both Bizon's and Dio's similar dismay faces. Sorry guys, time travel loop dictates that the two will have a private meeting sooner or later. Aoba'd better has her hairclip with him.

This development is a bit cliche but everything will spice up from now on. I can't hardly wait for the next episode.

Yeah it was all predictable that Aoba & Hina end up falling together.
Yup I expecting a time loop too.
I really doubt they will have any sweet time together at first since she don't know who this person is.

No wonder Dio couldn't couple with Fromm. Aoba is affecting Dio and Fromm's relationship.

Aoba (Kirito) and Hina (Sachi) finally together!!! YESS!!!!! Show her the hairpin.

I don't really know why ppl keep saying show Hina the hairclip. What the hairclip will do. This Hina doesn't have it in the first place, so how can she recognizes it. Do ppl still insist that this Hina is the same Hina. Seriously, how clueless are you.

Yay!! The Obligatory Sunrise stuck on a deserted island :D

Finally! Been waiting ^^...Now they should start understanding eachother. Can't wait :D

As for the ep...That was some damn nice action. Love the back to back pierce ^^

Interesting info about Aoba's wave level sync and how he affects others.

Well, it was rather obvious, wasn't it? The two had to spend some 'quality time' together at some point, seen Hina had intimate knowledge of him (aka, knew him) when she went from the future to the past, yet she didn't recognise him when first encountered.

Even back two episodes, since they were always cruising the ocean and islands, I already thought they would end up on a deserted island, and it seems this is exactly what is going to happen. (They can hardly 'meet' and get to know eachother in a major city on one of the 'sides', or the other one would be put in jail.)

I think Hina will be very hostile at first, beating the crap out of Aoba - who will remain pretty passive - but in the end, after an extended time on the island on which they have to depend on eachother, will get all smooshy and their friendship will start, until the point she returns to his past (again).

8:57 hearing them talk about coupling % sounds erotic

13:05 the 3 fingers in the air… the way dio & aoba pointed at each other… yaoi!!

-------------------
1. I would actually prefer to get the enemies perspective 80% of the time like in Death Note. From the vibe of this episode, it was obvious the good guys would win. More anime needs to be told from the enemies point of view.

2. Fights were nice I guess. Seen lot of gundam already. Was waiting for the episode to end in the 2nd half. I fell asleep 3 times. hina is a boss tho.

^This so hard.

Well, everything that happened this episode we know already is going to happen. We knew Alfried Gallant is the main antagonist so the Royal Guards were bound to fail, not to mention whoever led the Royal Guards was such an arrogant prick. And the obligatory deserted island scene, a.k.a. the Sunrise special, is upon us. It was bound to happen somehow, and finally we'll see some blossoming romance between the two.

It's also quite interesting to know that Aoba's brainwaves are somehow matched to the perfect coupling norm and that coupling with Aoba distorts other people's brainwaves. I don't know whether they'll be exploring this point any further, but it'd be cool if Aoba is involved with some plot twist later on.

Aoba and Dio trust skyrocketed and defeated one of their Lieutenant. Oh damn, Hina is mad going full out against the Cygnus Crew. Yes, next episode will be some romance between Hina and Aoba.

It wouldn't be a mecha anime if it didn't have love interests stranded somewhere (probably an island).

Aoba's DNA is probably the basis of the coupling system.

I have a feeling we'll get a Athrun x Cagalli cave (Gundam Seed) moment next episode. A deserted island, a cave, a half naked girl, both enemies from opposing sides that will get together eventually...girl will attack boy in meantime; The ingredients are all there.

This is an interesting speculation actually. Because we don't know what happened to Aoba's sister, the plot twist might be that she is behind this coupling system project and used her missing brother's DNA as the basis for it.

Theeeeere we go. Which mecha anime could go without male and female lead crashing onto deserted island to bond.

Gundam did it a few times, Code geass did it, many shows do it.

Nothing new here. If this show was a little bit comedic I might have higher score for it. This way it seems to take itself way too serious while being way too generic.

Not that I mind generic from time to time. Let's call it a guilty pleasure.

It's a trope pretty much exclusive to mecha genre and it sort of works every time so why not? c:
A requirement is that the 2 crashing must be enemies. This is why Muv-Luv failed this trope.
