I think I find it boring because of the characters...just not a very interesting cast here... -_-
But admittedly this eps was already much better than the previous one for a start

seriously? this show's getting boring... probably because i watched this right after watching code geass and that show was just amazing... anyway.. i hope there's more development with chidori and sousuke instead of this thing that's not even that good... oh well... can't wait to finish this series...

They are finally giving us a glimpse of Sousuke's past.

I wonder what will happen next.

I like all the information on Sousuke's past but this arc is rather boring and I feel the next episode will be action heavy... so probably a bit boring as well.

I miss the humor from previous episodes. Though, I understand there's no place for humor in the current situation. Hope we get back to that after this arc.

As if Code Geass is better than this. More obvious and "entertaining" to most perhaps but it was merely a good anime rather than a great one.

On topic this episode was a little plodding I guess but now we know more about Sousuke's past, especially the fact that he had been fighting since he was 8 since I thought he might have been really old but he just looked young. (Explains his aloof nature I guess)

Great info on past... and I enjoyed how they aren't glamorizing the fight. It's brutal, smash mouth, guerrilla warfare... With pockets of hiding out. (-minus the mechs) this reminds me of true warfare.

I'm ready for the next episode.

Bullshit.


Serious drama does not the best fit for FMP. They should go all out for humor. They are trying to do lots of things but they are failing on all fronts. Neither mechas, nor characterisation is good enough to remember it. Most of the time makes you wander why they are acting like they do. Only Sawara's stupidness will give you a little smirk that's all. It is unfortunatelly aimed for younglings under 15. I should have watched it when i was younger, or before Code Geass(Neon Genesis Evangelion, Monster, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood vs.) so that i would not compare it to other animes. Still it has some unique ambiance. As long as they won't go serious plots like this, it will be okey. But it looks like it is trying to be Claymore and Angel Densetsu at the same time and failing in both of them. But i know that making humor is really hard.

I found episode 15 and 16 to be the only good episodes so far. I like the comedy they have and all, but usually when a show depends on comedy to consume an entire 20 minutes episode without a feel of the characters being serious it actually puts me off.

Why do you even like Chidori of all people? Fuck that bitch. Sousuke just can't catch a break with her, even if he was trying to have some fun back in episode 14. You really like pussy whipping bitches like her? Seriously!?

Taking an interesting turn, the story approaches with a much slower and methodical pace then previous episodes, which I really believe digs out the hidden gem potential of this story.

So far, I'd have to give the show a 7/10. Let's see if it ups the ante going forward.

I REMEMBER TOUCH. PICTURES CAME WITH TOUCH. A PAINTER IN MY MIND.

This anime is it's own worst enemy sometimes. Absolutely loved the opening episodes, but to get anything interesting it feels that the characters have to revert to sharing a braincell to end up in that situation.

Even now, the 2 remaining meatheads of that mercenary team can't shut their mouths and act all high and mighty with Sagara even though he's acting the most professional of them all. And Gray asking if he wanted to join them after 'to fill the vacant slot'? I openly shouted "FUCK NO!" They have given him zero reason to suggest that joining them would be even equal to his current position. She must have inhaled some bad AS fumes.

On to the good part at least, looking forward to seeing how Sagara deals with having a previous ally working against him next.

Dang, Sousuke's childhood friend knows every single move he'll make. The only way he can win is via the OP lambda driver.

Anyway, I'm missing the shenanigans of Teletha and Chidori already. Looking forward to the slice of life episodes again. hehe

Yeah, Sagara should have probably told before how much of an expert he was already of the place, even if once again it's probable that Gray only would have taken him seriously.

Not surprised that he was already a soldier at 8 years old, but for Zaied just being not that older than him. Too bad he sided with Gauron now, wishing he can side "with the winners" for once. His AS is cool too.

The best from this arc is yet to come for me, even if... from this middle part, i still remember some amusing small moments as "you can't die, you still owe me 300 bucks" and "i hate you" "i understand".
