| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So we got new models introduced in this show. Army divisions had no chance... Well in wars, enemies have to gather intelligence and clearly the army divisions failed. Oh well, maybe they will learn in the future if it's not too late as it is. |

| To be honest I had hard time trying to keep up with whats happening in this show. Too many characters and because of realistic ascetic they all look the same. At least tech looks nice. |
| Things seem to be ramping up now. While we still don't get much character development for our lead Yushiro, we do learn a little bit more about him. Although a civilian, Yushiro voluntarily agrees to deployment in Belgistan which just so happens to have their own mechs which wipe out an entire US tank regiment at the end of this episode. Yushiro tells his sister that he likely wont see combat, but I don't think he actually believed that. The vibe I'm getting from Yushiro is that of someone without agency. He feels like a cog in the Gowa family's machine and does just about anything his family tells him to. The first episode psychic link with Misuzu seems to have resulted in his only act of free will we've seen so far. Some interesting developments here as well. Yushiro's older brothers arranged a hit on a politician standing in their way and then successfully petition the prime minister to greenlight using the TAs in Belgistan behind the back of the UN Security Council. We also discover the other corporation Symbol has the Belgistanian leader in their pocket. I'm assuming because of this that the weapons of mass destruction the UN and US forces were concerned with in Belgistan are those mechs provided by Symbol. The Gowa family and Symbol appear to be in an arms race with one another and are using their collective power and influence over various governments to change the nature of warfare in favor of their weapons. At least, that seems to be the game plan so far. Both also are attempting to tap into the "Mile One" technology which acts as some sort of artificial muscle for the mechs and I think relates to whatever Yoshiro was summoning in his episode 1 dance, and how Misuzu was able to psychically battle and communicate with him. |

| So this fictional country seems to be somewhere around Aral sea (like Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan)? That Colonel had a Russian surname...interesting. I like the geopolitical details, and the mecha action is extremely well-drawn. |
| They disposed of the Minister of Justice quick. I'm thankful for that, since it means more unimpeded mecha (or TA) action. The TAs are blisteringly fast, and made quick work of the American tank battalion, but it seems like they're not just fighting Belgistan after all. |
