----------------------------------------
The training on the island continues!

This felt like an endurance test tbh, to see how well people can survive together. Plus, there's environmental hazards like bad weather so it really tests them under extreme conditions. Loved the way the music was used.

I also kinda like how Hisone is growing up as a more confident person with each passing episode.

Absolutely loved this episode. Especially how things unfolded between Hoshino and Nooma. The dragons perhaps do pick D-pilots based on their own personalities.

Loved the naming sense of Hoshino as well. F-2 > Efu tsuu> Futsuu > Normal > Nooma(ru) :P

Also, the girls have gotten closer which is a big plus! Not much Nao in the last two episodes but it's alright. Also, gotta mention that Hitomi is a really sweet girl. <3

Next episode title is Koisuru Ookoku (Kingdom of Love). Does this mean it will have romance between Hisone and Okonogi (based on the end sketch)? I dunno how I should feel about it but he had been getting a lot of screen time throughout the anime. I just hope it doesn't change the current dynamic of the anime much because I am loving it the way it is!

Anyways, I am glad that I am following this anime!

5/5

Geez, Hoshino was extra annoying in this episode, but at least she came back around at the end. Ken-san is the best dragon. The other dragons are getting along nicely and now so are the pilots.

Great episode. I'm glad Hoshino finally decided to see Norma for who he is.

The part where Lilikos says she's returning to her place by the sea cracked me up. I found the entire scene with the so called death of the doll Nao-san hilarious. XD

Ken-san certainly is a man among man, he tried so hard for Hoshino. T.T
Ken-san naming into Norma was pretty funny. xD

I loved the shot of the girls walking back after landing at the base, so good.

Looks like the old lady does have some sort of significance.
Can't wait for next week.

Hoshino-san: *is being a bitch towards Norma and going on a big rant about how he means nothing to her and wants to be a real pilot*
Norma: Fine bitch I'll just die lmao

I guess Hoshino-san was just the only pilot who wasn't into vore. I'm glad she came to her senses and became just as kinky as the rest of them.

"I'am gonna dump my dream because someone decide that i should pilot and take care of a dragon , and it's my fault if he isn't happy, even if i shouldn't be here in the first place" I still don't understand why she is a Dragon pilot and not a F-2 pilot. I guess it's because she has no choice ? But that be nice to see who has decide that so i can put the blame on him (or her but Hoshino speech makes me thinks that it's most likely a "him").

RIP Nao-san.

Well, I won't have to watch Hoshino be a cunt anymore. Her cuntiness even brought the comedy of the show down for a couple of episodes.

And who is this man among men, named Ken-san? I must know.

Nao head NOOOOO!!! Why, why it had to be her D,;


OT: So we got to know more about why Eri acts this way wich i tougth was quite interesting. She pretty much worked her whole life to try achieve her dream of being a pilot, but later realized that such dream is not like what she pictured to be. She enjoyed riding the dragon but she felt conflicted because she saw her job as more so of a caregiver rather then a pilot itself.
The scene with her touching Nooma and setting him free was powerful, i liked it quite a bit.

Norma... I like that name. And with that, the island arc has come to an end, and boy was it a nice arc. So much fun, lots of bonding, and quite some hardship, be seeing the girls grow closer to each other and their dragons was worth the time it took.

It is unfortunate that we lost Nao in the process of it all though, may she rest in peace.

WE ARE NOT PULLING A CAST AWAY HERE!!!

So it wasn't Hoshino's choice to pilot F-2...well I can understand that now. And F-2 stayed in Plane form because that is what Hoshino wanted. Well that's dragon loyalty for you. But Norma? Maybe Hoshino was expecting her dragon to use mana, but it doesn't so it's just a normal dragon... But now that Hoshino's issues have been resolved, we can now see all four of them fly together. JETS!

From this point onward, we're going to delve into this "ritual" as well as the mystery with that old lady. There is one more thing I'm waiting for though. When is Nao getting her OTF? We have a radar jet, a transport plane, and two fighters...Aha! They need a bomber! It better be red too!

I read the preview for the next episode. It seems the main plot kicks off. I remember someone saying that they hope that their isn't any romance between Hisone and Okonogi. Yeah if your one of those people, your not gonna like the premise of the next episode. Apparently, it ties into the main "Ritual". I have faith in the show though. Been amazing so far.

That preview is just about the least romantic thing ive ever heard. I dont think it necessarrilly means the show would pull the romance card with baby face cause it could just be referring to the otf's but we'll see. Id prefer the former or just both.

edit: ok never mind i read the next episode synopsis, yeah its romance with baby face. Sounds kind of forced, like literally in universe for the ritual or something so i hope it doesnt cause any unneeded drama especially cause ive thought their relationship was very comfy up to this point.

Just coming back from watching Asenshi fansubs just now. Anyone has any reference to Joie Lady?

When I saw the episode raw I thought I heard Jōobāsan (Jōi + obāsan) which would mean the Granny of the Rebellion (marking the time of imperialism during the WWII).

If you're right, that would be one hell of a pun, but the "surface meaning" here is simply that she's the one who randomly hands out those Joie/Joa drinks. This anime is just ridiculous enough for this theory to be potentially true, though.

They only couldn't fly back because the OTFs didn't want to, though we don't know the exact reason for that at the moment. The no-fly zone part is a bit weird, but I think it was meant as "no one else is going to fly over here and save you, you'll have to do it yourselves".

sadly seems pretty rock solid for 12, believe its listed as only 12 on the TV channel's website or something of the sort.

I kind of don't see how it'd be more than 12 episodes by this point, it does seem pretty much like its building up to this ritual type deal which i doubt they could drag out that long. Personally id love 24 episodes of these character antics especially of how much the series feels like the modern day patlabor in tone and comedic stlyle, but ehh lets hope it can actually pull off these next 6 episodes first before getting too into it.

Yakult is not a juice. The word is japnaised pronunciation of Yogurt - a probiotic dairy product. Yakult is locally produced in Japan variety of it.
It's beneficial for the maintenance of the gut flora and the immune system. I guess healthy for the girls and indirectly for the dragons.
This kinds product are often sweetened and flavored with fruits but are mainly fermented (and then pasteurized to prevent the pathogens) milk.

Yes, they meant no-fly zone as in no random passenger planes are going to fly overhead and see an SOS call or something.

Not quite. The Japanese phonetic pronunciation of "yogurt" is ヨーグルト yо̄guruto, which is its own product (just regular yogurt…) Obviously they share a root, though. (According to Wikipedia: Official claims state that the name is derived from jahurto, an Esperanto word for "yogurt".)

Well ayran is really close to kefir and ayran is made from yogurt.
All those are similar dairy products and may be yakult is a bit different type but definitely not a juice so ease a bit your "Not quite.".
