| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  More tough love and emotions this episode. I imagine Yuuya is going way over his head now. Kinda a meh episode though with a lot of dialogue. Also, Tasha or w/e her name is has some emotions while we also see just a tiny bit of the commander's background. Some trouble at the end as a shit lot of aliens are on the move! Just average episode imo overall. |

| OnoD's character don't participate in the party because they should celebrate for the leader who brought the robot, and he said he needs more data. Discrimination prob., and the Russian teams still not approved of him because he's not Russian? That's from what they've learned in their life. OnoD's character got appointed as a sniper at certain meeting, so at the sam time he can get more data, but he cannot battle again? Something's coming at the end. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
tsubasalover said: Russian teams still not approved of him because he's not Russian? I think they don't like him because all he did was take one shot and everyone goes wild like he won the war. Also, only the commander is Russian, the rest are from states the USSR took over and don't like being labeled as Russian. They accept the commander, however, because she has been fighting with them for a long time and has taken care of them. Seems like the BETA had some plans of their own. |
| The whole thing was way too predictable including the ending. It also felt like nothing happened until the end. They just stand around debating whether or not he's useful and if they should bring him. Something big needs to happen for progress. Have the beta hit the base hard, and have some casualties. Considering the threat they are supposed to be. |

I'm pretty sure we will get the heavy stuff like seen in the first two episodes later on or even in the next episode. In saying that it's almost certain we'll also see some deaths of the main characters as well Dx But looks like some bad things are about to happen. Didn't see Cryska or Inia at all =/ (with the Russians most likely being the victims again I'm sure -_-) |
| nice ep, can't wait until next week |
 |
| I'm betting he steps it up next episode and becomes a true hero. |
| Nice Build Up for the next episode |
| Episode seemed kinda boring, but ok at least hoping the next one is ok. Seemed like those Russian Pilots were Trolling Yuuya big time when they got back to the base. |
| This felt like the calm in between storms. I'm expecting to see some real shit hit the fan as soon as next episode. |
 |
| This episode was so-so. I hope the buildup this episode pays off in the next episode. |
| How bad can this show get? Let's find out in the next ep! With Kokoro Connect dropped, this is now this season's "the bad show of the season that you should watch just to see how worse it can get" awardee. For one thing, it's like there's no aliens invading the planet that national differences (which are artificial=man-made) are much more important that highlighting the things everyone share (like, for example, they are all humans who live in the same planet that is being invaded by aliens, for starters), it implies that when there is danger, human's first reaction is not to survive (thus already negating a natural instinct, LOL), but to be petty and stupid. |
 |
| Zzz... was a boring episode. I was hoping the story would move along a little faster after he fired/tested that new weapon but I guess its gonna go at a snails pace. Need more action like in the beginning. >.< |
 K-ON v1.1 ... Please leave you comments on my profile! ^_^ |
| Hmm...needs more Locust. Nah JK but that's what the BETA reminded me when they were underground. I wonder if there is an alien called ALPHA? |
| "Ogon’ po gotovnosti!" |
| Boring ep. |
 |
| Yeah, kinda too much dialogue but it was okay. I liked Yuuya's chat with Commander but omg that scene where they were debating if he should go out or not was irritating to watch. It was fun watching Yui getting all shy at the hangar though haha :D |

You are wrong, do you really think if aliens attacked our planet everyone suddendly get along? No, things arent like that. You say to survive is human instinct and its true, but they are also selfish, intolerant and prejudiced by nature and that wont change no matter how bad the situation is. This anime clearly tries to show that humans are flawed and sometimes even self-destructive, its true that the show is very far from being amazing but personally I think people underrating this quite alot specially considering when have Dakara H and Hagure no Yuusha which are in my opinion are quite worse than this show. Also I would like to say that I like how the is actually flawed. Im quite sick to see all those MCs that are pretty much saints. |
|
| They certainly were building it up a lot, so I hope the next couple of episodes (big battle here we come) are well animated. Yui has it bad for Yuuya. |

| Been saying the whole thing, Yuuya not doing anything and taking all the glory. Welp, with the BETA going offensive, time to redeem himself. |
| Why does yui keep using the term "kisama" towards yuuya? i thought they were on good terms now. |
 |
| It was an Ok episode. A lot of talking but not that boring IMO |

| Whole load of BS.... 2.5/5 |
 |
| More commie, that sign was moving all over the video xD |
| Oh well I liked it xD Seems like i have to read the subtitles with more attention , I'm starting to not understand some things . |
 |
| I think these talk episodes are pretty good at building tension. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |

| I sense a death flag. Argos is about to loose a leg. |
 |
| This was pretty good. I really enjoyed this episode. |
| It was pretty obvious that the professor and that Soviet officer where planning something together especially there laugh when Yui left gave them away. Either they where planning to do something to Yui or they knew of the upcoming attack from the Beta. That last officer that came in during the Zhar Battalions meeting also seemed suspicious judging be the looks of the commender it was unexpected for him to appear. And that meeting itself seemed like a form of brainwashing and propaganda almost every soldier had to say those words. This episode also showed Yuuya's immaturity again the way he was speaking towards the commender of the Zhar Battalion and i thought he was finally maturing a little bit. Tho it did seem he learned something when he mentioned Yui could fight instead of him. |
| He wasn't a hero, all he did was stand back and pull the trigger.That's what I said last episode. Well, it looks like he'll be able to get some melee training after all. Pretty predictable that small BETA force would't be all of it. Hopefully Yuuya and Yui will be able to really shine this time! |

 |
| The MC is a bit pathetic. Damn. Oh well, Opening rocks as always. |
| Yuuya is on cloud 9 but he letting it all go to his head, slow and steady win the race. and the whiole buddy buddy thing suck now i like when Japanese doll and Top gun would go at it had a nice feel. |
| Lol the investor is really hilarious because he's so obvious in his intentions. First he wanted data on Shiranui type 2 and then he changed his mind and wanted data on the Active. Anyone can tell something's up. |
| scumbag commie ruined the motherland scene. i dont get BETAs. they didn't had any back story about them whatsoever. |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| The first 2 episodes pretty much tricked me into what I thought would be an action packed anime with a lot of battling/death/destruction. I still find it entertaining to watch however and I like the characters. As for the episode I think I'd call it OK. It was a little boring but build up is necessary. 3/5 |
 |
| That old guy and the Soviet officer want to get some guys killed, those bitches. I really hope this show will get better, it has so much potential! |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
