| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Interesting episode. So many things happening at once. |
 |
| Nice episode. Sia is up there among my favorite cute kids along with Pino. For a bunch of slaves, the Half Section does a lot of good work. |
 |
| So far Im not very thrilled with this serie, kinda lame episode tbh. btw: BARREL ROLL! |
| I kind of feel as though this episode threw to much at me at once, and as a result I felt zero emotion at the end. I still also think this series has bad pacing btw, it moves far to fast and never seems to settle down. Also, the dialog between the parents and criminal was oh so cheesy. For what it's worth, though, the three episodes before this were great. |

| I thought it was a good ep, as said above it's slowly picking up and im liking it pretty good, if i rated right now i'd a 7-8 rating, hopefully it gets better tho. |
| that spaceship looks like a cell phone, it even has a strap :)) and to get on topic, i didn't like this episode that much, it felt like a filler ?_? |
  |
| It would be cool if Hachirota really did get his spaceship after a few years and that little girl comes back to be his pilot. I enjoyed this episode....but I was kinda looking forward to some more development of the main characters. |
| The movie shooting was LOL, 1st Hachi then Tachi Can't wait for the next (my DL link is broken) I will continue after I find a new one. As for now, going for ep7 |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| So the parents were planning to kill themselves plus their child?? Wonder what really made them change their mind?? |
| Am I the only one who found it disturbing the guy had a camera in his own underwear?? The "Fly me to the Moon" reminds me of Also, did anyone else just laughed out loud when the director asked if he could swap the girl with the actress? I should also point out you really can't create a "G-field" by rotating a ship. |

Confucius said: I should also point out you really can't create a "G-field" by rotating a ship. Haha! I'm guessing it was just shortened for convenience, rather than saying 'generated a rotational force equivalent to and that simulates gravity'! Thought this episode was hilarious. All the little characters you get when people watching on a trip. Plus, I'm liking Fee the more I see of her, she's a smoker after my own heart, and seeing her enjoying the smoking room was brilliant, with those fans and everything! Woop! |
 |
| I have to say that Till now this anime has been quite boring |
| I actually liked this episode more than the others. It must be because of the loli. |
 |
| I like the connection they had with spaceships. It was cute when he said he'd make her the pilot. The hostage situation was meh. Episode was meh. |
| I actually thought his was a pretty good episode. Suicidal parents. LOL |
 |
dusFlaesPhan said: So the parents were planning to kill themselves plus their child?? Wonder what really made them change their mind?? Probably the fact that they were going to lose her by other means. |
 |
| This was a great episode, really enjoyed watching it, but lol the ship looks like a flip open cell phone xD Nice dramatic scene, lets see what's next! |
 |
| This was some nice space drama. Really touching. I am glad they went with a happy end and not a tragic one. Also, I cant really put my finger on why, but Tanabe is kinda cute. |
 |
| Well that turned out for the best . . . Although what kind of movie was it? I'm getting the feeling it was a porno, by the way the captain responded to the video, but not sure. |
 |
| Yea it was probably AV. Fee repeatedly said they won't get permission to film for the kind of movie they were making. All's well that ends well. |

Confucius said: I should also point out you really can't create a "G-field" by rotating a ship. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_gravity#Rotation I actually miss the ambience of Sidonia. Also the lighting. The contrast between dark and light are very distinguished. But I guess it's because this is a Slice-of-Life anime. The part where the annoying girl found Hachi "molesting" the actress made me LAUGH. Other than that, no other highlights of the episode were found. I can't believe how fucking bland this shit is. It's rated high, so it HAS to get better. But getting there is a fucking pain, even if it's by Sunrise. |
| ^ You guys are trying too hard. Decent episode, I'm surprised that guy was able to sneak so much filming equipment on lol. |

rigel10 said: So far this show seems pretty generic to me, dropped it for two months and came back and was instantly reminded why I didn't watch further. Feels like I've seen it all before and I find the dialogue cringeworthy and sometimes the characters are not very believeable. Hopefully I'll be more invested in the characters eventually. Basically my thoughts at the moment. This episode seemed more like a comedy trying to mix in a serious thing happening and it just played out really weird. |
| Seems like the first episode's budget was a one-time thing. Overall, bad episode. The kid didn't feel like a kid, the drama was handled like shit, with cheesy speeches in the most crucial situations, and felt very rushed (let's commit suicide -> we love our kid -> let's live). I've heard people say that this is a real SoL series, different from the usual school comedies. It's the same thing, except for the fact that it's episodic and that the writing's cheesy and predictable. |
 |
| Thought this was an improvement, aside from the crude melodrama. |
| I want to like this series, but this episode was so ridiculous. So, thanks to a thief accidentally stealing a family's suicide pills, the parent's plan to kill themselves and their daughter is foiled, and their appreciation for their daughter is renewed when the thief uses their daughter as his hostage after he's caught in footage that was being recorded for a movie... 2/5 |

| i am really enjoying this anime so far |
SirMario said: Heard good things about this series. I'm sure it will get better. From what I've seen by looking around some posts it apparently does but I'm debating if the grind is really worth it. Episodes so far have been either average or just plain annoying. |
 |
| That spaceship looked like a giant flip-phone. Maybe it was..? Seriously though, the coincidences in this one were funny. I even couldn't help laughing when they failed their suicide plan. How much a failure can you be when you can't even manage to suicide yourself correctly? |

| Meh episode, but i'm sure it'll get better ! |
| This episode covers three days of flight to the moon. Fee, Tanabe and Hachimaki will be taking a vacation there. They meet a family going to space to die? I didn't quite get that part. Maybe the parents want to die, to erase their debts, so that the daughter is enabled to live a normal life? On a three-day trip to the moon many unexpected stuff happens: Hachimaki getting caught in a amateur video production, Tanabes wallet getting pick-pocketed, taking place in a lost-and-found search of a girl, a hostage situation. As someone who read the manga before, I didn't recognize any of the plot of this episode. Either my memory is really lackluster or this episode was completely original content. |

Why would an ending hostage scene be so important for a porno flick? Maybe just a violent amateur movie. |
| Weakest episode so far, hope things will get more serious and better. |
| Great episode, though i am curious about the medicine. |
| Best episode so far. Lots of characters intertwined in one spaceship to the moon and then everything joining together in the final scene. Good stuff. Glad the family didn't commit suicide together! |
| I found it kind of funny in a dark way that the thief accidentally saved Sia's life by stealing the suicide pills. I think the episode escalated way too quickly, almost like it was full-on dark comedy. The moment where the gang looks on the happy family and they don't even suspect that the couple was going to kill their own daughter... I honestly can't tell if that was supposed to be comedic or not. Brati said: As someone who read the manga before, I didn't recognize any of the plot of this episode. Either my memory is really lackluster or this episode was completely original content. That explains a lot, actually. And it's a relief. |

| Such a powerful episode! It was pretty dark too, but the conclusion was full of hope. We got to know a family who were down on their luck, they had lost everything they had, and they are/were in debt too, so they decided to take the 'easy' way out and commit suicide together, going as far as taking their daughter with them because she would be all alone, and prone to suffering otherwise. But in this same spaceship there was a thief, another person who 'had' a future, but lost it along the way, falling into this life. We don't really get to know his circumstances because it doesn't matter here; he was there to make the parents realize that they shouldn't erase their daughter's future like that, when it's full of chances, when she could still make it. So they decided to start again, they found strength to go on because of their daughter, and this was really moving, and satisfying. |

| Ah, the suicide pact parent episode. Once again the debris section subvert what the world thinks of them by saving the day. |
