Finally, this was how I wanted the series to be. A more "non-boring" slice-of-life feel and story included.

I disliked the 4 previous episodes but that one, although it wasn't great, was still enjoyable !

Ooh pretty colors.

Wow, carrying those packs looked like hell. Even Rio couldn't do it right.

There were so many allusions to stuff that must have gone down to bring about this new world like the small piece of a missile in the ground and the devastated buildings and the stations having Japanese lettering. I sure wish we could learn a little more but given this is 13 episodes, it must be one of those "left up to speculation" type apocalypse's.

Still waiting for them to unleash Spider Gundam. I know they're just teasing us for it every episode.

Yeah, you tell them what do do, Kaere, you and your sexy voice. I wish I could have seen the boar fight though.

I was half-expecting Nausicaä to pop out of somewhere at the end, dunno why.

Personally this was a great episode with the tank and the scenery! The comedy came mainly from Kureha/Kanata and Noel not being able to carry those backpacks made WW2 people look pathetic in this case. The war effects were devastating=>
in the desert and I learned more about Claus having a reference similar to Erwin Rommel....anyone else though so about the desert thing=>
Claus taking it easy was also funny=>
but I liked mostly this part because of the cute side I would say=> Anyone else though that Kureha has a thing for Claus or maybe just appreciation from this part=>
So based on this=>
Takemikaduchi has 2 missiles, the pods are for smokescreen and chaffs, a main cannon with HE shells that I suppose are HE for max damage, a machine gun, three engines and even stealth mode? Really liked the scenery here=>
Leaving your backpack during war is foolish=>
Devastation is breathtaking but I don't see the missile holes=>
Oh what....no special fan service? Take off those towels now!=>
Anyone can translate those symbols=>
Overall want to see tank attack.

Big thanks, was wondering that too so does it mean that the other 2 know less Japanese?
GIF time! This time 2 nice ones: this one I officially call it Kureha scolding you!=>

The other are Kureha giving out too much efforts and the water flowing (don't ask why, I just love the water flowing and always go to my spot around Marseilles in summer to enjoy the weather there).

Why is that when I do GIF the best ones always come out of Kureha's character.....anyone know or is it just me that is obsessed with her?

Yet again... not much plot movement. It's a shame the studios are turning this into a generic sequence of events. A bunch of comedy/moe/slice of life episodes with nearly zero plot movement then most likely stick what little plot was to be had in the last 2-4 episodes for a finale. But whatever, SoraWoto has clearly marked itself as a slice of life anime from the first episode. I sure as hell hope they'll involve the girls in No Man's Land in the future... but that's probably wishful thinking.

At long last are they doing something military-alike. So they are not only wearing uniforms for looks..

Enjoyable episode thanks in part to the anime gaining some coherency and being less random (Though of course an Onsen at the top of the mountain again is totally random and it would've been a killing blow for the anime had they indulged in cheap fan service there.)

This ep was probably the best one so far. Though it has to be mentioned that there is no plot - we're still stuck in the beginning; those episodes which were aired up to now, are simply empty - they sure are quite entertaining, but lack of story...

Once again I find myself dying for some backstory. The characters have been introduced, and now I find that the present isn't terribly interesting. It's a stunningly beautiful universe, and it's got to have a story behind it. Vague hints aren't enough! Gimme more past!

I though the onsen at the top already did that in a way so why not make it more fan service oriented?

Very nice....some teasing back-story, some slice of life, and some nice backgrounds.

(lol, They're having war simulations in the tank for when they finish repairing it...and btw, I'm not seriously expecting a bunch of action in this show....but it would be cool if they did end up using that tank wouldn't it?)

the first part threw me off a bit, when they were practicing in the tank but other than that it was a decent episode. Besides food and medicine, what else did they bring in their backpacks because those alone wont make it as heavy as that. Kureha is much cuter with her hair down. Scenery is also nice. LOL at the Major for relaxing at the base.

I was thinking extra stuff that's not needed just so that Rio could test them more.....a sergeant is always nastier than the officer.

Yes. This most of all.

When i saw the episode was named "the end of the world" i was hoping for something really big. I guess this was ok. Still hoping for something big eventually. At least one of the girls should die :)

francismeunier said:

Tv, then the movie End of Eva. It acts as a replacement for the last two episodes, so you don't have to watch those unless you find them really interesting. Most people don't.

I liked the episode, I thought it would be a Felicia focused episode, since the last 3 focused each on Rio, Noel and Kureha. But the "field trip" was definitely training wasn't it? (;

What I really want to find out, is what happened to the world. They keep hinting things here and there without really telling us much,

Noel is hilarious. :D

So, yes, love-love for this episode. Enjoyed it very much. Thank gawd they didn't end the episode with fanservice.

Okay, maybe I was in ARIA mode or something when I watched this, but... Kanata sounded a lot like Akari to me, Kureha like Aika, and Filicia as Alicia. Srsly. Possibly Rio as Akira.

Noel is too talkative to be Yuki Nagato.

Kureha with her hair down looks cute. :3 I really they'll go to that desert one day. Even though this is clearly a slice-of-life show, I hope they'll develop the post-apocalyptic background a bit.

You might want to take into consideration the time-line of this anime. This castle/fort is in an area of low risk so they minimize the number of troops there just to give the impression that the army cares. If you listen to Filicia talk about the army, they are lucky the army remembers they even have troops in Sieve.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

I wish I knew how long after that last world war to know if that legend if the five maidens somehow evolved from Sieve once held some nuclear warheads. Five firing rockets = five maidens on fire?

So they have this awesomely advanced tank, and they signal their backup with a trumpet... I have issues believing that there is nothing similar to a built-in radio in that thing...

Aaanyways, still looking for the plot, and just to add to the cultural hotpot we now have cicadas there as well. Where in the name of holy hell are they...?
Pantyshots are a different matter entirely
