| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- guess that was o.k. filler |
| arghhhh ANOTHER FRICKING FILLER. i can except it if theres some character/relationship development, but THERE WAS NONE!!! *annoyed* |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| but at least it was a funny filler ^^ |
 |
| it was more annoying than funny to me. The Red Comet references were less than subtle and Kaname is a jealous traitor ;-P |
 |
| ...they see a 16yearold talking like in the army and knowing how to pilot an AS and they don't ask any questions? |
| A very boring filler...I don't want to know anything about the classmate dude... -_- |
 |
| lol Sports with military robots. Nice filler. |
| Sausage Filler... |
| I can't stand filler where you're back precisely where you started at the end in every conceivable way. Why didn't they just get on with the "whispered" story instead of these last 2 time wasters? |

| Omfg lol at the table tennis and the drive smash. Kaname is epic fail. Well its good that the next episode won't be a filler. |

| found this one quite boring =S |
| i though it was like a fighting competition... but.. tug-of-war???? ping-pong??!! HAHAHAHAA!. and that guy in red?? |
| I thought that this was a random filler but it had a good message. |
 |
| As far as fillers go, it wasn't that bad, but still. I want action and a plot that moves forward! |
| I found it to be a very fun filler..nice episode Shinji and his dad are <3 |
 |
| That was pretty ridiculous episode. I remember hating these last two episodes the first time I saw them and.. I still do. |

| Damn it GenericAsianGuy! Now my sweet and pure memory of this episode will forever be corrupted... |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Intermission episode. Nothing gained, nothing lost. Glad there wasn't too much mech :P |
| Such junk... |
| Fillerrrrrrrrrrrrrrs |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Probably the worst episode so far but oh well looks like it's back to the main story in the next episode. |
 |
| bah, I skipped it |
 |
| noticed all the character faces are drawn badly, except Chidori imagine if u can pilot a mecha to play table tennis, u are very good... |

| Anybody watch the dub? Lol it was so bad it was good. |
| Filler wasn't bad, but it was one of the weaker episodes. (obviously) |
 |
| funny ep,I remember liking it back in the day too,and that nerima team kept reminding me of the nerima daikon brothers xD |

| Pretty poor animation this time. Though it wasn't completely boring. I want more relationship development. Still looking forward to season 3. |
 |
| Didn't really liked this episode the pace and the whole development was horrible... |
 |
| lol siding with the enemy...I hate Kaname in this episode...what an idiot..why can't she understand Sousuke? he's helping the other cause the contest is just to damn unfair...idiot Kaname... |
Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender, A warrior of youth, I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order I Am Bulletproof. . .  |
| Another filler, this one was not even funny... |
 |
Tachii said: Anybody watch the dub? Lol it was so bad it was good. I did, wasn't that terrible, but then I actually enjoy dubs, even older obviously weaker ones like this. Well that was a nonsensical episode. Never did I think we'd waste an episode repairing the relationship between Shinji and his dad! The one thing EVA couldn't accomplish...well one of many actually. XD Why'd they put Kaname in an antagonistic role anyway? Less tsun more dere! I didn't even notice until the credits that Mao, Weber and Teletha weren't in this one at all. XD Looks like we're back to the plot next though. |

| at least use a filler ep to develop chidori and sousuke's relaitonship or SOMETHING. that was boring lmfaoo but at least we got see more of shinji |
| Xtina is my mother! |
| Lmao when they started playing Ping Pong with the massive robots ... |
 |
Did he just say Shinji? Shinji? SHINJI!!!  Awww what a nice parent-child episode xD Especially with Noto Mamiko❤ |

| This is the worst episode of full metal panic and it isn't even close. The animation on the robot sports is laughably lacking. Heck, even the audience reactions don't get any animation frames. You could tell me they animated this show on a four-figure budget and I wouldn't even be surprised. We hear the same nerima daikon "pun" six times and it wasn't even funny the first time. (Actually it doesn't even really rise to the level of "pun," this attempt at a joke is the equivalent of referring to someone from Kentucky as "kentucky fried chicken" as if that's some kind of clever wordplay.) The whole nerima daikon "pun" is also incredibly culturally opaque for what is otherwise a very accessible series for foreign audiences, though I'm not holding that against it. There's really no reason for this episode to exist. Out of all of the characters we could have gotten a side episode to explore, Shinji might be dead last, possibly tied with Mizuki. (and, surprise surprise, Mizuki shows up for this episode. How is it that she and Kaname are friends after what happened in episode 8? why is she such an irredeemable garbage person every time we see her?) I don't care about Shinji and I don't care about his relationship with his dad. (If we really felt like we needed an episode with shinji, maybe to make us actually care about him, it would have focused on the relationship between him and sousuke instead, since shinji seems to be his only friend at school). None of what is happening in this episode really matters to any of the characters that we care about, and we don't get nearly enough laughs and entertainment to justify spending this much time doing absolutely nothing. I really hate this episode, because it feels like a stain on an otherwise great series. This was a squandered opportunity to explore any of the characters that we actually care about (like episode 13, where we actually get more insight into Mao and Tessa as characters). The only good thing about this this episode is that you can skip it entirely and lose nothing. Honestly I think this might be a better series doing a recap rather than give us this useless filer; if they were going to do a recap, 13.5 mid-season would have been the time to do it. |
