| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Looks like Yuuya is reaching a boiling point now not that I blame him the slightest. That lieutenant..ugh, if I had a teacher like her. A man and his horse are one Also, the waitress..I got a feeling that she's going to play a more prominent role later on. The fact that she's wearing that outfit with the word "cow" on it. Oh god, the irony. Also, cute Tarisa/Chobi/Churrasco with the neko ears and outfit ~_~  Spectacular battle at the end. Good episode tbh. |

| OnoD's character needs to get used to the robot, and met the twin in rumor. He still argue against the boss. Lack of understanding of different value? Co-workers cerebrating him for joining. lol @ tanned girl and big chest girl seems to be in good term. Seems like the boss is from famous family of Loyal Guard. The robot that they think that it's the boss piloting is the enemy? So it was to test him to understand what she said?! |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Another good episode but the censors ARE STARTING TO PISS ME OFF. Seriously knowing this is going to be 9 volumes and all the light of death is hurting eyes more than pleasing them. Hope they make a mistake like in Horizon series this last episode where nipples were uncovered. Anyway that out of the way the action and CG were quite pleasing along with MOE. My thoughts follow. About the beginning, the start had rather 3 enticing parts that were a good start for the episode itself. First of all the are Inia and Cryska in the spoiler The second thing is Valerio teasing Tarisa in the spoiler The third thing is Bridges and Yui BS each other in the spoiler About the bar, the bar part was so hilarious for seeing BIG COW BREASTED girls in the spoiler  Of Tarisa along with the spoiler About the fan service, light of death hurting eyes in the list
About the fight, now that was nice in various points. First of all the blood was good in the spoiler However shit hits hard when Yui knocks off Tarisa in the spoiler  Bridges makes me think of Hei with his eyes. Moreover there was some rather nice exposition of their fight along with SFX and transparencies to say the least in the spoiler About thee end, well that was sure nice to see Tarisa in the spoiler BTW nice renders of Inia from ED in the spoiler Nice Art in the spoiler |
| Yuuya is really good but I think the Soviet girls are still better. |
| not bad not bad. finally a more coherant episode. Thought Tokyo 3 was going to sprout out the ground when Yui looked into the sunset lol. Was somewhat disappointed she got hit by Yuuya. Maybe she let him build a little confidence :P Though it seems he's really going to build up to exceed everyone anyway. |
| Good episode, Tarisa's MOE Level went up for sure......I think I like her even more...[even if she's annoying] |
| D'aw seems like this will be the end of "bash the American". It was just getting good too. Looking forward to annoying, generic MC from now on. |
| yuuya still far from yui.. yui just let her guards down intentionally to teach him as what inia said.. |
 |
 The Japanese Doll, Lt. Takamura, has outdone Chobi (Tarisa) for the worst character. There are so many things wrong with her, like her terrible attitude towards Yuuya Bridges, doesnt she know he is the American Top Gun?! If she was just a bit more understanding then she could be a bit decent. However that is the least of her sins The oddest thing was that Natalies boobs seemed as big as Chobi's head, what even, only noticeable since they were all over her head. |

| Yeah he doesn't seem to be happy about winning too when Tarisa say to Yuuya that he won against Takamura. She obviously got more experiences than him and he just learn to use japanese TSF, I do also looking forward to see more of the bonds of TSF. Now he know the meaning of what Yui said. :) Trust is more important than pilot, I guess American prefer Brute force than trust. :) Japanese always using the samurai way with swords. Instead of human samuraj it's a mecha samuraj haha :) It's turn all good. |

| Yuuya took her ass down. That was great. About time someone shut princess up. The cow-girl Terisa was my favorite this episode. I wish I could have some of her milk. |
| Tarisa seems like a pretty loyal friend, but she'll surely get them in trouble later on with her temper. I hope that starting with the next episode they start toning down some of the national BS. Make the conflict between the characters due to personalities, not what country they come from. |

 He's finally understood the way of yamato damashii and become one with his TSF, yay. Also I guess they mispelled Takemizakuchi, you can read "Takemizakuti" and "TST" in the display when the Takemikazuchi is approaching them. Maid Tarisa was olev. |
| Yuuya finally got in touch with his inner Japanese. Thank god, the plot can finally move past the awkward Yui x Yuuya bitch fests. |

Yui's intention wasn't to win. It wasn't even to knock the others down a peg or two (even though that's what she did). The point of her showing up was two-fold: First, she wanted to make explicitly clear that she was not some egotistical staff officer but rather a hardened front-line combatant. At no point prior to this did Yuuya or any of the others seem to respect the fact that she represents the people their project is intended to serve. In any development project, the end user is king. Just like how you build a car based on the wants and needs of drivers, or design a dinner plate according to the tastes of your patrons, any military equipment should be designed to the specifications of the soldiers that are going to use it. Self-absorbed test pilots tend to forget that. It's one of the reasons she's been so hard on Yuuya. Hate her all you want, and respect Yuuya all you want, but it's painfully obvious that he was always thinking about himself and never the people the project was intended to benefit. Second, she wanted Yuuya to learn to control the Type 94. If she just wanted to beat him down, she'd have done so. Yuuya's words and actions make it clear that he was painfully aware that she was more than just holding back - she was teaching him. She succeeded in both goals. Yuuya's beginning to realize the Japanese design philosophy, which will be critical for him being an effective test pilot. He's also beginning to gain some degree of respect for Yui and her position. |
ErwinJA said: lol couldn't of said it any better my self =P why can't people understand the "tough love" concept from Yui? After all shes been through her cool but assertive personality fits her role as a Lieutenant. Besides characters like that eventually open up later on anyway~ |
| I don't know why people are hating on Yui. I think she's freaking awesome. I wanted her to teach Yuuya a lesson. She might of lost, but we all know she could of kicked his ash. It was obvious Yuuya knews this as well, by the way he responded to Terisa's comment, who annoys me to no end by the way. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| Isn't Yui using outdated technology though? |
| Oh fuck Yui, glad Yuuya took her ass down. A look at her sympathizers here, fuck that, she still lost. Intentional or unintentional. GOOD, still can't stand her stuck up prune ass. |
| It's adorable :D ok episode wasn't best or worst but it had one adorable part that being one with the horse part... which would make you strong and all but looking at results (let's say: Defense of Japan) it seems that it's not as useful :3 good luck in using this very effective philosophy XD |

| The usual squabble between Yuuya and Yui but this time with some fighting. I was waiting to see this fight for a whole week! |

maxie said: rorinmaru said: Isn't Yui using outdated technology though? Nah. The Takemikazuchi is better than even a souped up Shiranui, I'm sure. Yeah, the Take (3rd generation TSF) is better than the Shiranui (2nd gen TSF) by quite a bit. It's one of the top 3 TSF units in the Muv Luv universe, the other two being the U.S.'s Raptor, and the Soviets Berkut. Plus even if Yui let Yuuya win, he's also using a TSF that he's only been piloting for a few weeks, so that has to count for something. Give him a Raptor, and it's very possible he beats Yui, even if she's taking the fight seriously. |
| Yea, Yui has already said he has the potential to be better than her, might already be. Just needs a machine he's comfortable with. |
| Was an ok episode, about time the back and forth hisse fit are done, mech action was ok to. but the cat maid outfit was Bomb. |
| Damn that white steam. I couldn't see Yui in the bath. We need BD. Tarisa made a very cute neco maid and we have a new character. The cow girl. More sexual tension between our mains. Well after three episodes building characters and relations i think it's about time they give us some action but it doesn't seem so from the preview. Hoping for episode 7 then. |

I thought it was a 2nd gen too, but it's just a really early 3rd gen. Yeah I just noticed that actually, thanks for the correction. |
| Finally, Yui teaches Bridges a lesson personally. Aw yeah. and Araragi93 said: He's finally understood the way of yamato damashii and become one with his TSF, yay.

 |
| maid tarisa was kinda nice. so what I don't get is if he's so good at piloting an American TSF, and he doesn't want to pilot a Japanese one why the hell were they forcing him to? SYui is still a bitch, but it seems she'll want him to bone her in time. |
 |
Are you fucking kidding me. I hate Yui. Yuuya is alright. The rest I don't care about. I just wanna see Yuuya kick Yui's ass some more. |

| Another great episode. Tarisa looked so cute in that outfit lol. Bridges finally starts to understand his TSF. Plot is developing nicely. Looking forward to next episode. |
 |
| Ha I love how people seem to either hate or love Yui. Personally I think she is doing just what she needs to do to make Yuuya a better pilot. He is arrogant, and was not using the machine correctly. He thought the machine was the problem, not the way he was piloting it. Also it makes him work harder. She is just pushing his buttons trying to make him develop quickly. Personally I find Yuuya to be a little bitch. He has personal problems? Well that's just terrible. Everyone else who is there has had their families chomped on and homes destroyed. He needs to man the fuck up and get over it. |

Don't mind the favor being returned for all the crap Americans said about the Japanese, especially in the parodies. All in good fun. (Edit: Eh, misread but still keeping it :P) --------- I see the lover quarrel was still happening, even escalating into that mecha fight haha. Nice that you could actually feel some tension. Also noticed this show is now nudging Yuuya and Princess together into lovers and into bed. Also amusing Chobi got forced into a cute neko outfit. Seems similar to Azunyan being tanned nya~ A much easier episode to watch now that it managed to settle down. Hope it improves now.... |

| I find it hilarious that people dislike the fact that Bridges is arrogant and blames his problem on the mech, when that perfectly fits with the stereotype of American fighter pilots. That said he does bring up some good points. What is the point in being a test pilot if they don’t care to listen to your feedback? Bridges said it perfectly when he said “a mech that requires you to be a veteran just to pilot it is nothing more than a giant coffin.” Bridges may be an amazing pilot, but he was the wrong choice to pilot that mech. |

That's what annoys me about the series so far, the American bashing and also the hate towards the Japanese from Bridges. To me...it just does not seem very realistic. They really need to take a vacation to America and see the melting pot. All in all, decent episode it didn't piss me off as bad as Ep. 4 did. |
ExplodingLemons said: Personally I find Yuuya to be a little bitch. He has personal problems? Well that's just terrible. Everyone else who is there has had their families chomped on and homes destroyed. He needs to man the fuck up and get over it. Yui being a racist bitch don't make it no better though. Why take a pilot who you all thought was great, take away everything he got accustomed too, and then have bitch fits when he finds it uncomfortable. That makes no damn sense. Then she'd make dumb comments like "A 14 year old girl can pilot it". What the hell does that have to do with an american pilot who has received no japanese training til now. Lets see her pilot an American ship perfectly, otherwise STFU. Yuuya doesn't have personal problems that prohibit him from establishing himself. He's making new friends just fine. He has to constantly deal with a nagging ass bitch constantly in his face degrading him. I'd be pissed off too if I had to deal with that shit everyday and didn't have the right to tell her to go kick rocks. |
