| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, this was another tough episode. Jamie realizes the reality of war and that's not easy to take in. At the same time, both sides fight to a struggle. The Argevollen struggles quite a bit in fighting also. Ouch. Overall, a pretty intense episode. Damn, juts be glad he isn't dead. |
 |
| I hereby name this phenomenon The Curse of the Argevollen! I though it'll take at least one more episode until the breakdown. Nice fight against the Strum, good movements |
 |
Kierte said: So... Tokimune's sister, or rather something what was left from her mind is in argevollen hmm.. it's similiar to Neon Genesis Evangelion! I want to see linkage depth around 150, because then Tokimune will change into fluid like Shinji! :D I had the same thought XD |
| Last week they mentioned a syndrome connected to the use of the system and it's counterpart which Richthoven is currently piloting. And it already takes effect this episode, to me it seems to be related with the linkage of the pilot and there machine. I wonder if Richthoven will start having similar effects soon. |
| The NR syndrome looks to be a severe overstrain of the pilot's phyche which leads to the pilot going berserk, just like those unmanned units Tokimune's sister remotedly contolled did. But there's also a high possibility of his sister's mind being used in Arge in some way, which would make sense considering Tokimune's question "Who are you?" in this episode and the top brass of Kivernas commenting in an earlier episode that Tokimune becoming Arge's pilot worked out better than what they could've expected with the originally designated pilot. Which likely means that the mind used for Storm belonged to a person dear to the woman who tunes Storm (I don't remember her name...), the person she wants to avenge (possibly that friend of Richthofen who died a few episodes back?) |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| Oh damn. Tokimune really fucking raged this episode O_o Anyway, Argevollen is starting to show its issues and Samonji forbids Tokimune from piloting Arge either to avoid another death like Tokimune's sister or to avoid future problems with Arge, or both. It seems like Tokimune doesn't remember shit either. I wonder what happened to Richthoven, he took some serious damage too. 4/5 |
 |
| Very intense episode. The whole fight scene was once again very jarring and almost disturbing. I think Tokimune's time away from Arge will be important, and I have a feeling Richthofen will have a chance to catch up to him in terms of linkage depth. Though with that explosion you'd think his new model would be out of commission for a while. CG said: All that seems quite likely with all the hints shown. I just wonder what could play out upon revealing that.But there's also a high possibility of his sister's mind being used in Arge in some way, which would make sense considering Tokimune's question "Who are you?" in this episode and the top brass of Kivernas commenting in an earlier episode that Tokimune becoming Arge's pilot worked out better than what they could've expected with the originally designated pilot.

| I enjoyed this episode. The spirit of Eva Unit-01 was strong with this one! The seeiyu for Tokimune must have had a sore throat after doing this episode after all that shouting. |

| jeez all that yelling... tokimune is really going nuts |
 |
| Great ep. I've been waiting for this to happen since they finish the Reika flashbacks. Man I'm excited for the next ep now! I wonder if the Captain will explain why he is taken him off Arge. Also I wonder if it is tied to his sister. It was pretty odd how the machine bonded with him so fast. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| more drama this week but the action was good |
 |
| That was packed with events:O really enjoyed this episode. Tokimume is banned...not for long probablyx) |
| Jesus can walk on water. Cucumbers are 96% water. I can walk on cucumbers. I'm 96% Jesus. |
| Oh man FINALLY the series is starting to pick up. Took it long enough but hopefully sticking through with this completely meh anime will pay off in the end. Richthofen is such a badass; i want him to kill everyone, seriously, payback for all those fucking episodes where they just sat around going to spas and shit. Still though I really want more character development for the Ingelmia side. They're a million times more interesting than the dried out stale characters we have to follow every week. Oh well, at least this is finally starting to pick up. That mech battle was also really cool. Hope this doesn't slow the pace down. |
The best anime is the Road to El Dorado |
| Seeing how Richthofen struggled with a raging Tokimune, his linkage depth should've gone up, too, leading to him encountering similar symptoms. Unless the group of companies behind those mechs already solved the original problem in Richthofen's mech, and just left it in in Argevollen to see if it indeed happens again etc. Hope we see Richthofen struggle, too, and both armies realizing they'be been played. Also nice that Namie was the one who noticed Jamie was showing a bit much, if it was Tokimune we would have to deal with awkward situations for the next 5 episodes. Tokimune also wasn't scolded or reprimanded for his behaviour so far..forbidding him to pilot Argevollen is probably more to avoid having him suffer the same fate as his sister. Especially the captain can't want that - it's surprising enough that the last words of Tokimunes sister weren't something like "look after my brother" etc. We'll see if he really gets "away" with it next episode... |

| Tokimune's continuous roaring was quite annoying. I know he's trying to be a badass, but that wasn't the right way to go about it. In the end, all those punches didn't even scratch Richthofen a bit and he even lost Argevollen's arm. As pathetic as he was, I still commend him for trying his best. Linkage depth reached 100% and nothing happened? Come on, we were all waiting for something epic to happen. I guess it has to be over 9000%? XD I saw the ending coming, but it must be shocking for Tokimune. There goes his slightest chance to be an awesome MC. Without Argevollen, doubt he can do much by himself. Pretty good episode. So, did Richthofen die? I hope not. Actually, defeating him might get Tokimune some cool points later so there's still a chance? |
 |
| Don't tell me it's mecha-linked-to the deceased thing again! Am I watching M3 : Sono Kuroki Hagane on this show too? -,- That being said, actually I like this episode very much. Maybe I just like to see the MC suffering. Muahahahaha. |

| Gosh, Tokimune had a mental breakdown in this episode huh. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| Tokimune losing her mind and being controlled by Argevollen? I think I've seen this plot somewhere (who watched Evangelion will understand) Does the enemy already been destroyed? I thought it would be the great adversary of Argevollen, I want see where this story goes .. |

He didn't try to be badass, he just went berserk aka turned into a wild animal. It was obvious that he lost his ability to think and, once he woke up, we see that he obviously did not even know what happened. |
 |
| Another solid episode of Argevollen. |
| Solid episode minus Tokimune screaming for a good third of the episode lol |
| The story is really starting to build momentum, i like it! I cant wait to see how this all goes. |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| roaring tokumine in this episode is really annoying that brat need a bright slap :v |

tiya_n said: Don't tell me it's mecha-linked-to the deceased thing again! Am I watching M3 : Sono Kuroki Hagane on this show too? -,- Let's hope not...though it is hinting towards that the Arge isn't just simply a piece of metal to be controlled by the pilot. "Who are you?" Yes, I want to know too. Or maybe the Arge is just another one of those AI ones (or something like that) that Tokimune's older sister had been experimenting with. Jfc though, all that screaming. Must've been tough on Ohsaka's throat. So high linkage depth isn't actually a good thing :/ |
| Tokimune goes full Ikari Shinji on the Blondie. Well, admittedly that would have been the only way he stood a chance... and even then he gets de-limbed so easily. I feel so sorry for Argevollen. I hope Richthofen survived that, because he needs to really beat Tokimune's cocky ass more. Hiding an illness before battle is basically shooting your superior officer and all his planning in the foot. Tokimune still has that stupid "Hero" mentality. Taking Argevollen away from him is the best option if you ask me. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| lol, and here i though linkage 100 was gonna be some max power double edged sword, turns out shit goes way over 100 great episodes, i finally could say those words about this show |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| - haha Lorenz is awesome! His comments are just priceless xD - What is up with some studios and their endless screaming in battles... Yes it's the best way to show someone lost control but half of what we actually got would have been sufficient, too. - The end was kinda unexpected from this show. I'm not talking about the Tokimune not being allowed to use Argevollen but actual moment and what happened before that. What were they talking about in the hallway? What happened after the battle? I can't remember any episode which ended with so many things left open but then again it's a 2-course so maybe I've just forgotten by now >.> |
| 4/5 Episode pretty, I would have preferred a moment more of action is to see the two beating each other mecha thrashing, with consequent damage, however nothing, oh well! Narration good, good construction of the plot and characters "still" interesting. The highlight foresaw a déjà vu, but there was, great! One flaw to be corrected, the drawings are really scarce. I look forward to the next episode. |

| neon genesis argevellon |
| he didnt depth hard enough this is just like ghoul "Even if it costs you an arm or a leg, you must kill the enemy" well 1 arm was pulled off and the other one is fucked, he did good, loved the fight, the wailing was fun |
| Just an anime fan, doing what an anime fan does |
| Well that was intense. |
 |
| Terrible. It's starting to feel different from the initial premise. If Tokimune was voice by Yuki Kaji I wonder how many people would've shit on him. Edit: By terrible I mean the direction the show took, not the episode itself. |

| yaaaay, kinda happy i didn't drop this a lot earlier... although this is a fairly average anime i still enjoy it to an extent (enough to keep watching clearly). i wish all the fights were like this. was cool to see some relatively extended mech on mech action, huehueh poor tokimune, i can't see how he could roar for so long without fainting (i really like the use of roar here, because as others have said, he really was an animal this ep) . i mean, with all that roaring, when was he actually breathing? haha |
 |
| It really bothered me that they showed the the status team instead of the fight scene 90% of time nonetheless decent episode |

| Revenge? Seriously?! This is WAR! Ain't nobody got time for that!! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| wow my heart is racing i will take a break what a amount of rage wow this is so good i love it didn´t expect this it is (....no words....):O |
| This was a good fight. The rage meter just overloaded. Tokimune's screaming voice is much better than the girls' moaning back then. I don't get what Suzushiro and Samonji were going on about though. Totally lost there, wish they wouldn't chew on their words. |
| Susume lost the head inside the Argevollen when he was fighting!!!! And now, what? will he have future??? |
| Tokimune going berserk was quite terrifying. I'm quite sure, that something of his sister is left in Argevollen's system. I wonder, how McDoucheface will react, when he reaches that point. He's already a lunatic after all. |
