| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh, I guess Gripen is lacking a bit of common sense. Poor Kei. Seems she and Eagle also developed somewhat of a rivalry. Oh yeah, that Phantom girl met Kei this episode. She's almost like the opposite of Eagle but also quite prideful. I personally like Phantom's aircraft style more than the other two tbh. Now that they got the main girls together, I'm curious to see where they'll take this story. |

| Sometimes i wonder how children are born in Japan if all Japanese man are like anime characters who don't dare to look at a naked girl... Anyway the new girls seems ok but she doesn't really add much to the anime right now. |
| Annoying characters. Eagle and Phantom both annoyed the sh*t out of me. Not to mention Kei. |

| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
| Not really a fan of Phantom, but Gripen and Eagle are still gureto. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Its actually quite funny seeing Gripen try and compete with Eagle. Still its nice seeing Kei try so hard to help Gripen though. Gripen sure knows some rather suspicious words though. Nice to see the base get some more reinforcements though. The phantom II huh. So i guess the spirit of teamwork doesn't really exist among the anima. That mock battle though sure was fun. While Phantom's reason for cheating wasn't wrong it won't help in allowing her to make friends here at all. Decent ep that did well to expand upon Kei and Gripen's bond while also introducing a curious new character in the form of phantom. |

| Glad I’m not the only one who isn’t a big fan of Phantom. Honestly, this episode annoyed me quite a lot which is a shame since this is my guilty pleasure of the season. I enjoyed Eagle when she was introduced, but damn, she was annoying as hell in this episode and really ruined my enjoyment. Phantom wasn’t horrible, but I’m not digging her so far. I know the girls will develop and bond a friendship as the series goes on, but now I’m just missing the time where the show was just about Gripen and Kei. |
| Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's. Noragami is the best anime ever.  |
| Gripen really is trying to be best girl, but atleast she's the cutest. PSA for Kei: You wouldn't lewd an airplane. Lewding airplanes is bad. Phantom is alright. It's just a shitty way how to introduce her. Protecc the airplane waifu's. |
| Sorry, due to licensing limitations, this message is unavailable in your region. Please come drink tea, eat cake and procrastinate at the Cute Girls Doing Cute Things Club. We have simulwatches! \o/  |
| So Phantom decides to get an advantage in the exercise by.... cheating. While she does have a point (the xi certainly don't play fair), come on man, this was practice and your first time with the others, that's not really a good impression. |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| This episode was, so far, the one I liked least. The show was fine, but just seemed pretty average to me. |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| Its nice to see the trio finally together. But their meeting wasn't good. Eagle acting like a kid here got me annoyed but I like her perky attitude. Phantom really leaves a bad impression. They don't get along. I wonder if Kei fix that and focus on the other two and not just Gripen. |
| I appreciated the fact all Animas finally gathered but gosh, it was actually a rude & pushy way to introduce each other. Although I found weird their conclusion to Phantom's power / abilities. She literally is able to interact with other electronical systems to create a fake or disorient their pilots, that remains extremely powerful. It really annoyed me when they accused her of cheating : I would have expected a bit of positive surprise instead of a negative vibe. Anyway, pretty sure their relations will evolve & they won't stay rivals for long. |

| Eagle being quite childish there... Geez Haruka, lay off on the smokes! Gripen's so cute... Wow, Kei knows how to pick up girls... Phantom is a sneaky anima... IMTU...Imouto! Jet fight! Phantom vs. Eagle and Gripen! Phantom has stealth! Aww Eagle lost this time lol. Quoted for Truth: Wait...you mean it wasn't stealth technology that Phantom was using? She was just spreading false info? I guess that was foreshadowed when she dismantled that guy's phone. Well that would be a good tactic to use against the Xi to jam their communications and such. Does that work though? Eagle may be a thorn to Gripen, but Phantom is going to be a real problem for all of them if she has her way. So how is Kei going to convince her to cooperate? |

| The highlight of this episode for me is Gripen trying to reach the bars. Then Gripen inviting Kei to her room, she showed him a good time indeed. xD Phantom seems to be the most mature of the three airplane girls. She behaves like an adult, and a tricky one too. |
| Slightly bizzare they are using a 50 year old plane in this series. The Phantom isn't exactly a classic. Should have used a Tornado GR4 or Blackbird Pretty poor episode, lots of childish bickering and poorly executed fights. |
 Sp Phantom girl has appeared and she doesn't look nice. |

Scary if the Zai suddenly found a way to do the same things as Phantom did this episode. |
| That Panthom girl is another bitchy mudak that i could anger at f*ck that shit :| |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
| airfoilfan87,you have models of these? Where the hell did you get them from? |
 |
| Phantom has been introduced... LOL as expected! the three girls won't get along! 4/5. |
 |
| Strange, I expected them to all get along fine because they were born from Zai. And the Zai are good at working together. I guess turning a Zai into a moe girl will cause them to become hostile with each other. |

| A new Anima has been introduced, I wonder how things will turn out now, as for that new character, she's quite prideful but also smart, Eagle is just dumb. |

| Welp, took not long till Phantom finally appeared on screen. That Gripin shower scene tho ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |

airfoilfan87 said: commander31able said: so, I still don't get why they chose the third plane to be a Phantom, and not a Su-27 (or variants thereof), or a MiG-31. Because the F-4 Phantom is one of JASDF's frontline jets? Though they're set to retire the F-4 this year.. whilst having a Gripen is kinda weird though.. == I actually liked this Episode and I kinda like Phantom even more.. just as what imagined her to be... having a very sharp tongue like what the japanese wikis and reviews stated back then... Though I thought she'd used her EPCM Pod in the Mock Dogfight.. instead she hacked their Anima JTIDs/Network whatever it was.. === Some armchair pilot thoughts ..just skip if you don't feel like reading a wannabe aviator comment xD I'm betting on the EPCM Pod thing at her centerline Pylon would be of good use sometime.... umm yeah Phantom.. aren't you supposed to take off with flaps extended? You're no F-15 or Gripen... LOL~  ..also noticed Phantom's engine did sounded like a J79 Turbojet.. at least for me =D I wished they'd record sounds from real jets as much as possible.. ..smile of someone seeming to hide something I kinda prefer her "Black" Hair Phantom looks like Rin from ARC-V, while Gripin is Yuzu. Could this be the Air Force anime for me after all. |

airfoilfan87 said: Yep, I got them thru a local online shop around 2017-2018.. Special Order.. The kits were released in 2016. They were quite overpriced already when I got them.. Now they're all hard to find, even at high prices.. My regret was not being able to get the F-2-ANM.. ^^; Seen them on a site,hold on,just get that link for you https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10367905 Pretty sweet models,shame they seem to be sold out,oh well :) If I see the F-2-ANM somewhere I 'll send you a link,mind if I add you as a friend? |

| Is the LN completed? Will this be a full adaption then? |
airfoilfan87 said: The author of the LN wanted to represent the main JASDF jets.. F-4, F-15 and F-2.. The JAS-39 is a random addition though. Perhaps it's because other jets not used by the SDF seem popular to the military fans. I don't think the Gripen addition is random at all. As I explained in the discussion after episode 1, Gripen is very popular among millitary fans in Japan. A fact that many (mostly American?) anime fans really don't want to accept... maybe? No, I don't mean you, airfoilfan87. You seem to know your stuff! :D |

Liddo-kun said: Phantom seems to be the most mature of the three airplane girls. She behaves like an adult, and a tricky one too. Well, "she" was born in the 1950's, so of course she is rather mature. :D I actually like her character. The Xi aren't going to fight clean, so why would't Phantom use electronic warfare? Eagle and Gripen needs to chill down and realize that this is not a contest between the three animas. Instead they are supposed to learn from eachother, to fight the enemy! |

So I guess Phantom is with the maturity of an adult, Eagle is a spoiled high school brat, and Gripen is a middle schooler? Just joking on that. Can't forget about Gripen trying to grip the bars ang failing to hold on. hehe xD On a more serious note. Yeah, agreed. Someday the Zai would fight dirty. What Phantom did in this training exercise should be a learning experience for the "younger" airplane girls. |

| Just leave it to Katsumi Ono (Symphogear, G, GX, AXZ, XV, Yu-Gi-Oh 5D'S, ARC-V, VRains) to make this manga look more enjoyable. |

| The first half was a pure comedical parts which is my best scenery so far on this series. The interaction between Gripen and Kei get to more funny than before, its a nice development to see. The second half, the tone get more serious as an arrival of our lady Phantom, the F-4 Anima's. Quite unique addition for her, to balancing the two sided coin of personality the twos Anima's beforehand, Eagle and Gripen. Yeah, and ofc Kei will do face more trouble in the future to make a great cooperation. So far so good, The girly air force its way over my expectation. Keep it up! My best point here was, where the Anima's had a fight with the age of them, which is somehow a good informations for me. Yeah, a lady Phantom the older 'daughter', Eagle's as a teen in 20 years old with funny personality as a middle 'daughter', and my beloved cute face lolita Gripen as a younger 'Daughter'. Nice story building there, tbh. Now i really attached to this series. Lmao. |
