Welp and the action is in full force again, cool.

The action was pretty intense and I'm glad to see Argevollen back too with Tokimune. Why so much yelling though? D: Anyways, I think he did well in that fight especially with that sword of his.

I think it's pretty obvious that Suzushiro likes Samonji? It seems she was in love with him since Tokimune's sister days.

Very good episode. Tokimune's back to piloting Argevollen but is he the same Tokimune?
It seems to me that he lost his memories? He said it's going away.

Perhaps Jamie will help him remember by confessing her love? The Captain said he lost? What did he mean by that?

What about Richthofen? Hopefully he is a prisoner or something and spends some actual time with Tokimune.

New OP not sure I like as much the old one. Its definitely getting interesting now. Most likely a quiet episode next week?

Judging from the cliff-hanger Tokimune probably suffered more then it appears.
Makes me wonder when we will see him pilot again, same question could be asked for Richthoven.

I am still wondering about the plot and how much the leaders of both armies actually know.
From the looks of it Argevolen is out for now but there is still a lot that could happen.

That traitorous general at the beginning made m rage big time with his blackmail of the Captain. And for a moment I was afraid that Tokimune was going to step on Jaime or something like that. I wonder how much it's Argevolllen that's controlling him now instead of the other way around.

THEY CHANGED THE OPENING SONG? HOW COULD THEY ):

Seriously that was half the reason why i didn't drop it after the first few eps.

Awh man... o well at least this episode was good. Finally getting full on action oriented episodes. Still wanted Richthofen to kick his ass but I guess that's asking for too much. Also I don't really care much for Jamie and Tokimune's relationship,

I want more of this cutie.

Good episode, really like how this anime shows the war
Tokimune has returned to pilot the Argevollen, he barely remained an episode away
But it seems that something happened after he beat the enemy, it was not shown more his face, only the dim interior of Argevollen and the title of the next episode is also very suggestive ..

I liked this new OP, but surprised the change at this point of the anime

Brigadier General Cayenne confirmed conspiring bitch & Suguro is his side bitch.

I'm still not sure why the hell Namie was sent to this unit? She's so incompetent, it's cringeworthy! >.< Rather if she dies, that would lessen the burdens on the others.

That "BAKA" talk though.. Jamie, you can't be a tsunere, I'm afraid. XD

Battle between the new models wasn't as exciting. Those roaring are seriously annoying.. >.<
At least, Tokimune managed to redeem himself after 16 episodes. Though, I wonder if his personality will have completely changed now.

Average episode. So, this is the end for Richthofen? Damn, I had high hopes for the guy..

really good episode, i liked how they depicted tokimune accepting the dangers of his actions on his body in order to protect the members of the squad, thought it was kind of a huge foreshadow for tragedy to come, kind of worried what may have happened to him at the episodes end cause something bad definitely did

^Seriously, the foreshadowing made that cliffhanger even more torturous. My god.

This was such a good episode, the tenseness before and throughout the battle was just brought about with brilliant direction and OST. The Scream 2.0 Rematch did such a good job conveying the two pilot's state of mind, just exuded the testosterone madness brought on by the linkage depth. It's crazy that Richthofen has literally reached the same level as Tokimune that he's already 'seeing someone'.

But again, Tokimune shows he has the stronger mind in overcoming the berserker onsets. I really like how they did that, was a very 'bright' and sensible albeit cliche way to conclude the battle and Tokimune's struggle with the takeover. But then that fucking ending, man. That cliffhanger honestly had me wiggin the fuck out. The unease brought on by Jamie crying out while showing an immobile Tokimune, not to mention Samonji. Did he say he 'lost' because he knows Tokimune's fate to some extent, because he stood by and let it happen again, or more simply because he played right into Cayenne's hands?

Also wtf was up with that note at the end of the OP? "I still have some words I couldn't tell you"...

If you really think he is just now redeeming himself for his actions in the first few episodes, you haven't been paying a shred of attention to his character. Makes it seem like you aren't even remotely invested in the show and its MC's development.

She actually didn't do that badly against the squadron of escort Kriegers that were accompanying Richthofen. As I made it, she destroyed at least three of them and kept them from rushing the retreating convoy. She also bought enough time for Arge to appear and for the other two mech to arrive and help her finish the job. True enough it would have been a different story if Richthofen had engaged her, but he only had eyes for Argevollen. She's still relatively inexperienced in actual combat but she's definitely improving.

This show is not a big shounen battle fest with a Gary Stu MC kun and a dubstep soundtrack. It’s trying to be more subtle than that and it takes it’s time developing its characters (and action scenes too for that matter). I honestly don’t think you can expect it to change into what you want it to be, so you’d be best served by dropping it.

Epic fights are epic.

I wish Richthofen and Tokimune got to know each other's faces though.

Looks like Richthofen went completely crazy, while Tokimune was able to hold onto his sanity long enough to win the fight, but the aftermath for him looks all kinds of grim as wel with that darkened cockpit...

Namie single-handedly achieved more than Samonji's squad does as a whole. I mean, she took out at least 3 enemy trail kriegers, out of 6 or so, while being completely on her own. And that is without real combat experience. At this rate, in a few years, she can take out an entire enemy army - without cheap toys like Argevollen.

I mean, just look at how badly Silfy and Lorenz did against the Trail Kriegers advancing through that ravine, two at a time. We saw like one fall down tops. Add in the support by machine guns and rocket launchers, and thats really bad. Previous episodes it was just as bad.

Namie should get promoted by at least two ranks and receive the highest valor related medal Arandas has. Especially how she wasn't even directly ordered to intercept them, and that she knew that the Sturm Alpha was there, too.

She basically headed to sure death, and instead took out three enemies without ever getting hit. How's that incompetent? She most likely would have defeated the rest, too - after all, there were less of them now.

Regarding Tokimune vs Richthofen: Really nice fight. The screaming is a pain to hear, but it serves it's purpose.

I feel like they wouldnt off their MC and then leave their fate ambiguous until the next episode, im predicting a comatosed tokimune but also a fatally wounded one, not in the literal sense but rather in the thought process that at the rate the show is going he will very likely die in the final act of the show

4/5

The air that you breathe during battle is good, not amazing because of the script quite enough, but much of the credit goes to the OST instead, that it is great.
The plot is finally starting to be deciphered, but already much had already figured even assuming the possible scenarios; I wonder if there will be more twists and turns, I hope so.
Drawings always ugly and low quality, appearance strongly BD to see me all the TV series. Animations in the media, even the CG did not shine much.
The final scene with the Argevollen return from the battlefield, it reminded me quite a scene to view the anime Muv-Luv!
I'm curious to know what happened to Tokimune.
The new opening is not bad, I just have to make us used to it, no longer hear the sound: Wooo Wooo Wooo...

Loving how in the flashback montage Toke had one of the key people in his life was the enemy pilot, now I'm pretty sure the only time Tokimune knows that he has encountered him was a casual walk through a city that time. Must have led a real boring life before joining the army.
