Seriously next I want to see the Princess finish of an Object by herself or according to plan instead of being the damsel in distress
Unlikely to happen. Its nothing against her she is a great pilot(they aren't called Elites for nothing), but her machine is just behind the times. Imagine trying to race against a Raptor while your in a WWII era Mustang. Thats the kind of difference she is dealing with.
mrcmc888 said: This anime is getting pretty ridiculous. Qwenthur is definitely a solid contender for Mary Sue status: he's doing the equivalent of stopping an ICBM with a baseball bat, not once but twice. If they continue the formula of "Object appears, military can do absolutely nothing, Qwenthur takes it down with a pretty simple solution", I'm dropping it, because I hate formulaic works, and I hate OP protagonists. I know some like power fantasy, but it's really not for me. Please tell me it gets better.
Also, what happened to Havia? The first arc he was pretty normal, now he can't go 30 seconds without saying some kind of pervy line? That went from 0 to 100 pretty fast, didn't it?
They aren't really OP though. They just have the Devil's luck. I wouldn't be so sure to label it as "simple" when A) what they are fighting could literally kill them with an after thought, and B) It takes a fair amount of quick thinking to discover these weaknesses. The anime doesn't play it up enough, sure, but they go into these fights knowing next to nothing about these machines. Everything they learn, they learn from being up close and personal with these things. Thats not somewhere your average person would be, and they almost die often. Getting into LN info, sorry, but later on, something else they complain about is people thinking they are OP super heroes "out of some American Comic" and expecting them to do everything.

And Havia knew it XD
JohnBangBang said: Havia calling Frolaytia Titan Tits and Jumbo jugs! All he does is talk about her tits ! im expecting more nicknames from him.
It's disturbing how OK Frolaytia is with it though, both as a woman and as his superior officer.
Sigh... I'm testing the limits on LN info, and I'm sorry, but I just tore through several of them... but there are some reasons talked about later on. As for Froteylia, first off, look at what you first quoted and there is part of your answer. Second, remember also this isn't today's military. Most of the "army" are mechanics to support the Object. She's 18, they are 17. To a point, its a lot less formal. Also, Qwenthur isn't "technically" a solider. And she doesn't exactly take it with no returns. She's just more... informal. Though she does exercise her power quite often, and they bitch and moan, but they do comply.

Unfortunately, or fortunately? Comedy laced with fanservice and Object action is the bread and butter of this series. Unnecessary or not, its what this series is going for. JC staff actually added even more fanservice on top of the ones in the novels though.
The reason it doesn't seem to be going anywhere is because we're still at two thirds of volume 1, which is an introductory volume so to say.
Unfortunately: I didn't come into this expecting borderline-ecchi. I do appreciate your explanation though; you're right that there are enough factors to make it possible.
Do we get more of an overarching plot after the first volume has been adapted?
Yeah, kinda, basically. As far as this season is concerned, yes. The next volume is one overarching, connected plot, and that should take up about half of the episodes after this next arc in Oceania(or Australia as we know it). After this, each volume is its own overarching plot. They make references, and the characters do develop during these times, but you will get your connected Arcs. And the Ecchi is just more...well...visible in anime form. They make mention of it in the LN, but he doesn't go into huge detail describing it. So when its all kinda... just there? seems like more.
