| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Another great episode especially in the second half imo. This woman here seems badass. Her crew seems pretty tough to me also. It's nice to see Chamber in warfare again. Well, anyways I enjoyed the latest episode with the OST and action. >Arigato :3 |

I have noticed that Butcher Gen seems to have a seething hatred of his own characters, but he has seemed to have gotten better at controlling it. ...pffft what am I saying? They're gonna die. Btw Ledo and Amy are 17 and 15-16 respectively [Ledo was 16.5 prior to the 6 month hibernation, Amy was somewhere in the 15's]. I think it's hilarious that she keeps giving him fish like he's a trained seal or something. |

| Well at least they didn't freak out and act irrational upon his return and get themselves killed, that's a small relief. So they didn't take the easy way out from that situation. I can't say if that was brave or plain stupid. |
| This episode was so kickass Chamber ftw, LEDO-KUN NO BAKA!!!!!!!!!!!! Really enjoying the dynamic between Ledo, Amy and Bellows. Amy was really cute when Bellows was trying to teach Ledo not to take human lives recklessly. |
| Awesome episode! Seriously, I love how reasonable Red is, or maybe everyone was brought up that way where he came from. It's interesting that there is no word/phrase that mean "thank you" in his language, his world is really different. It made me smile at the end when tried to say 'arigatou." The whole fight with the pirates was awesome to watch, and I laughed when Red/Chamber spun the pirate lady and her two assistants around in the air, repeating "surrender, surrender." XD This anime makes me smile. Don't know how long that's going to last, but I really like the overall atmosphere/tone of the anime so far. The bgm was also nice and fit perfectly. Oh and that conversation between Bellows and Red was nice, it showed the ideology of the people, which Red had to try understand why what he did was "wrong" in their eyes. Last thing, "it seems that she wishes you to consume the animal carcass." Red's reaction was hilarious! |
| hot pirate. winn |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| During the episodes, I kept hearing songs (or atleast a part of them) that would fit pretty well with the current scene : 1. 2. |
'Everything is impossible until proven possible.' - Me |
| i was wondering if red was eventually going to start speaking some japanese. cool to see he does start |
| It started great with "no killing" policy. But the next second they forgot about it and let him fight. I guess from this point it will get dull. I bet now his allies from space will come to Earth and he will fight against them and other pirates. |
| Terrible mecha action in this episode. Alligator. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| You know Ledo shouldn't be able to consume normal food so readily without dire consequences, being away from earth bateria for so long and such. Worse case scenario he could have died eating that first piece of fish. Oh well. Anyway I wonder when the tears will come, because I don't think that female pirate will give up yet. |
| "Do not enter the cockpit without permission." *ZAP* I loled so hard. Also, Red's arigato was so adorable. |
  |
| I absolutely love his last line. This anime is really heartwarming. |
Misiakk said: It started great with "no killing" policy. But the next second they forgot about it and let him fight. I guess from this point it will get dull. I bet now his allies from space will come to Earth and he will fight against them and other pirates. It's not like they had a choice there. And he still went with the "no killing" order and took his time to disable their guns and engines, instead of the curb-stomp-battle it would have been otherwise. Also, that piratechick is crazy. Or maybe she just doesn't realize what chamber can do. Also, pulling him under water isn't going to work. He's made for deep space and lay for half a year ion the ground of the sea already. And I doubt his gravity propulsion thingamabob has trouble with being underwater either. On a completely unrelated side note, I wanna hug Amy. This is all. |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| I guess the no killing policy was to be expected, but still it was pretty cool how he handle the situation. |
 |
| This was amazing. The animation is so good. Loved this episode. And the ending was great. 5/5 |
 |
| Good episode, more animal corpses lol. Seems he can win without killing though it took longer and he actually had to get close to the enemy. What if he is damaged(doesn't seem likely at this point) how would he make repairs. Anyway looks like Ledo will be staying with them. Also there are some pretty good characters, like Ledo, Amy, Bellows and that guy who was messing with "Chamber." |

Sadly, my early childhood was filled with those earwick tunes and now i feel old. Thanks a lot. I also realize I'm a "hentai" cause the ending scene i kept thinking "Amy sure likes to keep feeding Redo fish. She must be trying to get him used to the smell so he won't upchuck if he goes deep sea diving"... "if you know what i mean". I'm sure the hygiene on old rusty sea vessels is a lot less pristine than say a sterilized space vessel. It's amusing how they trying and pacify the space marine brute. I found the pirate queen to be quite the character herself. I kept recalling Star Wars when I nicknamed her "Lukka the Slut" because of her two slaves scant clad and in chains. Seems like these girls liked being the Ms. |
| Omg when he said thank-you. MY HEARRRT. Also to everyone, it is LEDO. Not RED. |
  |
| Chamber should be running out of battery soon :P I would assume that's why Ledo started to "learn" the language as shown in final moments of this episode, cause chamber won't be translating for long :P I can also see the Galactic fleet descending from the sky and land into the water next to the Gargantia fleet. :P After the beginning battle (episode 1), i can only imagine that Avalon is not doing too good as majority of the manpower was wiped in the unsuccessful battle. (Maybe it's already wiped out and surviving humans found the distress signal Ledo sent).. And maybe Ledo is not "doomed to" stay in the Earth for rest of his life.. i'm pretty sure he will be reunited with the Galactic alliance soon enough in a way or another.. Anyways 5/5 episode! Probably anime of the year 2013 so far.. |

FenixDragon43 said: Omg when he said thank-you. MY HEARRRT. Also to everyone, it is LEDO. Not RED. Japanese doesn't distinguish the "R" and "L" sound so both translation are ok, either Ledo or Redo. Btw I'm much appreciate to I.G, they executed the night battle perfectly with all the lighting effects, sounds and strategies (wouldn't expect those pirates have underwater mech). By far this is one of the most exciting plot to watch, along with Shingeki this season <3 |
stefeman said: Chamber should be running out of battery soon :P I would assume that's why Ledo started to "learn" the language as shown in final moments of this episode, cause chamber won't be translating for long :P I imagine that the water fireflies will take care of the battery problem. But it will certainly be more convenient for him to learn the local language. |
| Absolutely loved it! That was sooo good. I should've known better. There's no way Urobuchi would take the cliche route of having them think he's a monster. I loved how they dealt with him pretty logically and realistically :) The way he defeated the pirates was epic. Loved that swinging while asking them to surrender hahaha. Really love Chamber and how he always translates :) But my favorite scene gotta be that end when Red said Ar--Ari---Arigato. That put a huge grin on my face :D |
 |
| Urobutcher please just this time spare the good characters. Another excellent episode! I keep having Macross x Ghibli vibes~ Loving Ledo so much;3 I just hope Earth doesnt get invaded by those flowered aliens. They would be annihilated, including Ledo and Chamber;_; Also I wonder how humans reproduce in space. Certainly not in the "traditional" way. I think Ledo would be disgusted if Amy tried to kiss him, LOL. |

saucenhan said: my cool hero just become a wimp because some stupid rule you are disappointed me Basically it's Gargantia side that demanded him not to kill anyone. And by doing that he goes against their will so his deal with them would turn out into a bad way and he doesn't want it. |

| Not bad. Ledo's pronunciation :) I wonder how long Chamber can go on for without more energy? |

| Well, we finally get to see the next episode and it was quite interesting. Not as good at the first two, but still really good. Red took the dressing down by the crew really well, and he and Bellows all made some good arguments. However, I can't help feeling that Gargantia was acting very ungrateful toward him. He save their lives and their stuff, but instead of thanking him they just blame him for their next worry. And even when he's proves that he can pretty much take care of nearly anything all they say is, "why should we have that strange boy helping us?" It was really irritating and infuriating! The battle at the end was goo with the pirates, however they really kind of came off cartoony. Their mechs looked stupid, and none of them did anything really interesting. In fact water-skiing lobster woman's was the worst. Chamber of course was awesome as always, but I wish they would have let him go all out, especially when the battle escalated. Seeing a mech just beat up things with its hands looks stupid, and id not what a mecha fan like me comes for. There are times when you're going to have to take lives Gargantia! However, I did enjoy the cultural aspects they included, such as the fact of Red learning the meaning of the phrase "thank you". And that they keep feeding him "animal corpses". I wonder what it is they eat in space? Also it looks as if Red is beginning to learn so words too, though I'm perfectly okay with Chamber continuing to translate! So while this episode for me was not as good as the precious ones. It was still an interesting experience. I give this episode a 7.95/10. |
| The episode was bullshit. And I dont mean the quality, that was superb. But their reasoning was so poor that it pissed me off. So, he saved their ass (literally, cose normally theyd be raped and killed, or used as hostages if Ledo tried to negotiate) and they turn a cold shoulder to him?!? And keeping him out of the battle till it got clear that they would get themselves killed playing Jesus. A raw show of force would make things so much easier. In 2 minutes hed be able to show them that they are no match, with minimal losses to the pirate scum. Instead they let many of their own crew die, and killed maybe even more pirates in the battle. Even the commander was willing to surrender, for fucking WHAT?!? Pirates are pirates because they want to live on the back of others, he aint gonna change that by turning Jesus. Yes, killing ALL of them wasnt right, he might have just killed the ones that were immediate threat, but still the shit they sprout at him was pure nonsence. Even after they saw what Chamber is capable of they were willing to go against him/betray him. For fucks sake I really wish they handed Ledo to the pirates whod just laugh at their stupid asses and enslave their whole dumb fleet using the robot after that (supposing the impossible they manage to use Ledo as hostage to make the robot do what they want instead of vaporising them). 2/5 and score down to 6/10 just cose of this stupid crap. /rage |
Amarrez said: A-alligator lol. Loved how they dealt with ledo and the fight against the pirates. This is starting to shape up to be my favourite anime of the season. Can't wait for next week. |
| That was a great episode. I think it's great that they are turning him more "human," in a way, rather than just a methodical killing-machine. It's also interesting that he's so OP and could kill everyone on earth probably, but in space he was just a number amongst others that was easily killed by those aliens. |
| wow, that was a great episode. The atmosphere was great, and the action was awesome. And damn, the BGM was perfect. I find it interesting how that lobster pirate woman never knew that chamber was that powerful, since she thought Gargantia made it, while not even accounting that it came from space, because it's so hard to believe. I actually forgot how powerful chamber was, and I actually thought she was going to bring him into the water. |
Takuan_Soho said: saucenhan said: my cool hero just become a wimp because some stupid rule you are disappointed me You are missing the point, he is SO powerful that it doesn't matter to him whether he kills them or not. Basically his attitude was more of "whatever, when in Rome do what the Romans do". He was never even for a moment threatened. I understand what he means, I was a little disappointed in Red and Chamber too. (I'm used to and expect a large body count in my mecha series) However, I was quite impressed with Red's reaction. He's totally like "whatever". This is how they do it here, so I'll do it if it makes them comfortable. He's not going to turn into a pacifist wuss (thank God!), he knows that in war that "take not lives" or "don't go all out" crap would never work, and I assure you the next time he goes out against the space snails and space flowers, he will take them out just as he always has. |
| In the end they even thanked him?!?! Lets see - kill shity pirates, save crewmembers and boats - makes them mad. That leads to attack where they lose more crewmembers and boats than there were with Bellows, now they are thankfull. Sorry, but if I was a relative to the murdered crew I might be upset of Ledo who indirectly caused this, but Id want the leaders heads who decided to sacrifice my relatives lives trying to turn the other cheek to the pirates and play Jesus. It really pissed me off seeing how the captain and his aide acted like sheep. They need to go to the church and pray instead of lead. // rage |
