| Anime makes me smile! :-) |
| That was an amazing episode, so much happaned and now its left us to wonder whats going to happen next!!! :D Who got shot? Noels past? Another upcoming war? Curious about the angel skeleton and I wonder if the team would be arrested or something considering they were hiding and enemy......Can't wait for the next eo to answer all these questions :D Sadly on two eps left though :( RIO IS MISSING ALL THE ACTION :P |
 |
| I hate this show. It was all nice and cute and now they're all going away. :( |
| Feeling down? You may already be a charge target. |
| I don't think Noel have time to protect her, so it must be something else |

| Frakking Amazing....It is always with shows like these... Haibane Renmei and Dennou Coil...It starts nice and everything seems like a child’s play...and then it gets so sad and depressing...I just hope that none of the girls die... Uh wouldn't it be cool if this is just the first season...A very good ( and detailed) prequel to the real story... |
| The spring I met you, The spring without you. |
| The important points of the story finally connects? About time. This episode had some good symbolic points of different views of cultural or war based teachings. It also kind of shows the director wanted to throw all the story into the pot at once instead of letting the ingredients soak in. It's easy to see the director stalled this series just for the last 4 episodes. |
| OMG! I am O_O with my mouth opened......it's war! War! War! I tell you there is massive war and that was my wish! Now it's being granted.....massive army of Roma right here (their tanks look not good and old "GIF")=> Aisha speaks German and is a strange one apart from some mark on the forehead and her breasts being big...yeah that breast grabbing of Noel was a strange insertion (GIF for anyone who wants)=> Looks like Hopkins with Noel and Professor there were trying to develop a new weapon and from how she might the "Invisible Reaper" the end result could have been disease of some sort since things went wrong. |

Uh wouldn't it be cool if this is just the first season...A very good ( and detailed) prequel to the real story... Funny thing is, throughout the episode, there was so much going down I started thinking "I wonder how they're going to settle anything in two more episodes." Then I remembered that they said they'd consider a second season if sales were good. So I hope sales are good. -Well, damn this was a good episode. I couldn't figure out the language Alicia was speaking for a while but I eventually caught the German. (I wonder how exactly Rome absorbed Germany in the future?). I lol'ed at "I need stamina to escape so I'll eat your food" "She must be saying it's good!" -Probably the biggest revelation (and one I had completely forgotten about) was the Invisible Reaper wasn't the name of a plague or a weapon like I had thought, it was Noel. Which probably explains why they never explained a lot about her past. I actually went "Whoa!" there. -CLIFFHANGER! FUUUUUUUU- >,< I hope Spider Gundam rolls out next week. |

Yeah funny one it was but clearly she wanted to escape and did not trust them....especially Noel for what she did in her experiment as impact to Aisha. garfield15 said: -Probably the biggest revelation (and one I had completely forgotten about) was the Invisible Reaper wasn't the name of a plague or a weapon like I had thought, it was Noel.

Considering it is the only model that is Vector Zero that I saw among all the tanks!-CLIFFHANGER! FUUUUUUUU- >,< I hope Spider Gundam rolls out next week. Sealkid said: My 2 cent logic..... Noel = to Invisible Reaper = to her being Helvetian witch and that = to mad scientist brings to conclusion that she is stereotype as someone who is mad enough to do anything in the name of science to achieve objective but I think Colonel Hopkins there lied to her and Professor! Invisible Reaper is Noel....ehhh |

| do they actually say "Rome" though? Roman could also mean The Holy Roman Empire - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_roman_empire - which includes Germany... also, Helvetia (the nation it says there in) is something do with Switzerland - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetia - which incidentallly is another nation that was part of...The Holy Roman Empire. I may be reading too much into this though, but I though id put this out there anyway. |

SFB said: That is a good logical argument for why Roma would speak German but my stand is still that it could have been just they picked the language from the past war itself when Germany actually could have existed.do they actually say "Rome" though?

| This is the reason I continued watching this series, hoping something INTERESTING would happen. For once, I'm looking forward to the next episode... |
  |
| I was really surprised by Filicias actions. For a vetran of war, i though she would feel more hatred towards Rome soldiers. Or perhapes, if the prisoner was a man. Would Filicia have taken the same course of action? |
Starbrow said: I was really surprised by Filicias actions. For a vetran of war, i though she would feel more hatred towards Rome soldiers. Or perhapes, if the prisoner was a man. Would Filicia have taken the same course of action? I think it was because she had already seen to much pain and suffering in the war that she did it, she didnt want to see the girl interogated because she didnt want her to suffer. |
| Anime makes me smile! :-) |
| I really like the development, but it's too late now I'd say... they wasted too much time on moe crap and stuff before, bringing on war in the last three episodes is kinda ridiculous...-.- people who watched this show for the mystery/military thing waiting for the plot to set in got bored because of the dull slice of life episodes and people who wanted to watch a moe-blob k-on thing are gonna faint at the sight of blood now...-.- |
 |
| Somethings that bother me.....This shows very much that Hopkins was there to develop most likely a new weapon but with the pic....can it be a new form of gas or Fuel?=> SFB said: Yeah and I will add that Filicia learned compassion's worth during her experiences.....Starbrow said: I was really surprised by Filicias actions.

GIF time!=> Most incredible GIF of Noel's tank I did! :D and a most cute expression of Kureha!   |

| Noel suddenly becomes interesting, I was getting tired of all that "Yuki clone" shit. And damn that cliffhanger... fffffffffffff. I want blood next episode... lots of it, a la Hellsing Ultimate. |
| Wow. An episode without excessive useless bullshit filler. How shocking. It's about damn time we finally get to see the other side. This is how SoraWoto should've been from the start. But really, they get a Roman soldier in their presence and all they do is LOLZ LET'S PLAY THE TRUMPETZ. You would think they'd at least step up their patrols knowing the enemy sent a scout. Still pretty damn terrible. At least spider tank finally got its legs attached. Lol at Noel being a scientific genius at her age. I wouldn't be surprised if she was developing biological weapons then. And someone seriously needs to die next episode. It'll be totally lame if the shot missed or was deflected or some bullshit. |

Wasabi said: It's about damn time we finally get to see the other side. This is how SoraWoto should've been from the start. Yes and I would agree with you on this one with the cute stuff thing all are complaining about. Wasabi said: But really, they get a Roman soldier in their presence and all they do is LOLZ LET'S PLAY THE TRUMPETZ. Yeah that too....there is a interest in why Aisha would "Amazing Grace" though....any ideas? Wasabi said: You would think they'd at least step up their patrols knowing the enemy sent a scout. Still pretty damn terrible. At least spider tank finally got its legs attached. How can they step up the patrol when they have to keep a eye on Aisha and the 9th Division came around so it's a nice step up...... Wasabi said: Lol at Noel being a scientific genius at her age. I wouldn't be surprised if she was developing biological weapons then. So you think it's biological weapons.....gas weapons? Wasabi said: And someone seriously needs to die next episode. It'll be totally lame if the shot missed or was deflected or some bullshit. Some people are assuming Noel might take the hit to amend her sins.....you think so too? |

| I liked the developments for this episode....very interesting. One thing though....why does there always have to be some crooked military superior getting in the way?... |
| That was the funnest attempt at speaking German I've ever heard. |
| I like where this is goi- >tit grab >Felicia saying dirty things I hate you, Japan. |
| ^ I guess it wasn't your cup of tea. Me either. |
| and so.. the war that a lot of people were waiting for has finally arrived.. i think it's a good development.. i did not feel it is a complete turn around from the episodes previously.. and it looks like they were still able to bring another element on Noel.. saxophone15 said: well.. there has to be.. it makes war feel really wrong and neither side is good..I liked the developments for this episode....very interesting. One thing though....why does there always have to be some crooked military superior getting in the way?... hazelnutman said: i don't know anything about German.. but we all know that they don't speak other foreign languages fluently too anyway..That was the funnest attempt at speaking German I've ever heard. |

| Incredibly good/accurate german! And all that without (japanese) subtitles so that non-german speakers couldn't understand it at all and yet it was overall correct in grammar and spelling. Very nice diligent work for such a detail. The episode itself earnt a 5/5 from me. One of the best so far. |
PerplexMar 16, 2010 5:16 AM
| Certainly the best EP so far. At least at the end they gave a little action. War stared and Seize will be besieged. Goes from there that Noel was a brilliant child and recreated the lost technology, which Hopkins has used it for war.Perhaps after the great victory he showed her the battlefield it is no wonder that she is broke. I would not be surprised if Noel protect Aisha but I don't think she die. Someone needs to move Takemikazuchi. Aisha called Yumina heretic so war may be in some part a religious war. |

| i just realized the rome girl's like ishibal. O_O |
| German in my anime? I was surprised, nice to see they used a native speaker, hehe. Or at least it sounds like it. EDIT: Although, after second thought, it sounds more like a program that translates the sentences, like making your computer talk English. |

It wasn't a native speaker but she did very well with that. :) |
| Still, doesn't make sense. A bit to late for war drama. Moe taint is too huge. Bob grab was totally unnecessary and fan-service-wise. This anime seems to have some habit of ruining well going mood. Best ep so far, but still meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh There is three paths this anime can go. 1. Devote only 3 episodes for war drama, but a lot of sad and touching death scenes. Get a low rating from me, but at least middle. 2. Do some war drama, Rio returns and miraculously saves everyone's lives, happy ending Ulala. Get even lower rating from me. 3. Remain a bait and continue it to the next season. Screw the series. Get extremely low rating from me. Plus, Noel is the only good character in this anime. Screw everyone else. |

And despite some unnecessary slice of life, especially in episode 8, there was a generally story build up through the whole series. It's not something "Baccano"-like but the way they strew relevant bits and pieces in their episodes was an interesting attempt of story telling. And despite some archetypic behaviors and the moe-moe design, all the characters got a somewhat elaborate personality. There is no reason beeing that harsh to the show. (And as a side note: I'll never understand the community scores. Sora no got a 7.34 so far and shit like...say Railgun nearly 8 *shrugs*) |
| Oh sh- While I've generally enjoyed this series from episode one the last episodes have just been amazing. Poor Noel, didn't expect her to have such a backstory.. Surprised at the good german aswell. Sure the pronounciation was semi-sketchy at times, but other than that there is nothing wrong with it. ringoo4 said: Moe taint is too huge.. I find it funny how this show is too "moe tainted" for you, yet you have Higurashi and Bakemonogatari, who both have plenty of moe, in your favourites. Not bashing the the shows though since I love them both aswell. |
| Hope Noel will block the ....... |
francismeunier said: I did not really see much filler but what bothered me was that fan service stuff...they could have done better this time around. Not loli enough for you? francismeunier said: Yeah that too....there is a interest in why Aisha would "Amazing Grace" though....any ideas? It's a universally known song in the world so why wouldn't they know it? francismeunier said: How can they step up the patrol when they have to keep a eye on Aisha and the 9th Division came around so it's a nice step up...... They don't need the whole damn platoon to watch one injured girl. Aisha has probably been in the hands of Kanata and co. for at least several days. They could've increased patrols and possibly could've spotted the Romans before the 9th division even arrived. francismeunier said: Some people are assuming Noel might take the hit to amend her sins.....you think so too? I don't care if she wanted to amend her sins or not. This cliffhanger is as cliched as it gets. If nobody dies, it just proves it even more so. The two of them are surrounded. Someone HAS to get shot at least unless some retarded deus ex machina so calls forth some ridiculous miracle that somehow distracts the solders. |

| *Yawn* I'm glad this series is ending next week, it can be replaced with something that is actually good. |
 I am proud to have Clannad as the only thing on my dropped list. |
| lol Italy annexing Germany. |
| Kanata - a soldier who never before seen a single enemy... "We are soldiers." - Wow, Kureha sounds suprisingly reasonable. It's one of those rare times when i'm glad to know a bit of German. ^^ Helvetian, Roman-wtf?? And Filicia talking to A'ishah=WIN. ^^ "-She must be saying it's good" - Yep, that's right, Kanata. xD "Just a light greeting" - Yeah, Yumina perfectly lies. Plot will be continuing in next episode, unbelivable. And Noel's story seems interesting. Pretty good episode... |

Saygram said: That is interesting assumption....but is the war more into the non agreement of the borders and reconstruction.Aisha called Yumina heretic so war may be in some part a religious war. Wasabi said: francismeunier said: I did not really see much filler but what bothered me was that fan service stuff...they could have done better this time around. Not loli enough for you? No it is not that..simply put it is about being really badly placed...the last fan service had some logical place to it. francismeunier said: Yeah that too....there is a interest in why Aisha would Wasabi said: "Amazing Grace" though....any ideas? It's a universally known song in the world so why wouldn't they know it? How do you know that?

Wasabi said: They don't need the whole damn platoon to watch one injured girl. Aisha has probably been in the hands of Kanata and co. for at least several days. They could've increased patrols and possibly could've spotted the Romans before the 9th division even arrived. Why when they have a machine that did that already for them and HQ informed them already. francismeunier said: Some people are assuming Noel might take the hit to amend her sins.....you think so too? Wasabi said: What the heck is deus ex? Seen it used around the net but have no idea what it means. You don't care if she wants to amend her sins? From the looks of her she clearly is brain traumatized about Aisha and seeing her in the past lying with blood dripping out of her mouth. I do feel sorry for Noel that she has some trauma like that. If saving Aisha can help that then I am for it. I don't care if she wanted to amend her sins or not. This cliffhanger is as cliched as it gets. If nobody dies, it just proves it even more so. The two of them are surrounded.
