| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Dat godly music. The new girl is kinda strange imo but also cute in a way. Her voice is kinda of annoying though:  Mm, I guess some of the fighting is alright but the enemies' designs looked weird accompanied with that laugh. Looking forward to next time with the continuous battle as it does look somewhat exciting. |
 |
| Wow that music during the alien conference/meeting moment. Aww so each member gets their own support crew. They all seem to fit well with them. The alien machines look bizarre. More lifelike or maybe organic? Time for some action next week XD. |

| That commander really is an incompetent dunce... How did he even get to his position? The first half when it was focusing of the generals of the evil alien race felt like a completely different show with Jiart O.O I wouldn't have minded if they did a whole episode focusing solely on them. However, the second half wasn't bad or anything of the sort for me. In fact, Team Rabbits has started to grow on me especially Izuru, Asagicchi)*, and Kei. My question is when Izuru was talking with his pit crew about family and such, I was thinking in my head "Aren't they test tube babies?" Maybe I interpreted it wrong in the previous episodes but it was under my impression they didn't even have foster parents and were raised in the academy from birth *- Was reminded of Kise from KnB when he said that hehe |

| good epsiode. time for battle next week. |
 |
| The commander just raised his death flag in this episode, well at least it's how it looks like. |
 |
| It's funny how introducing your enemies can up the scale of an entire show? We are beginning to get to the meat of this show as we are introduced to the Wulgaru high council which seems to be made up of the upper echelon of nobles and the king as well as his younger brother. They look just like humans, almost to the point where I thought on character have walked right out of the earth military. While the Wulgaru group is also made up of walking cliches' just as the MJP group is, for some reason I find the Wulgaru much more entertaining! The Wulgaru appear to be a technologically advanced barbarian race that fights for the glory of the hunt and their entire society seems to revolve around carnal desires and goals. Their entire race seems to go on these epic hunts according to prophecies from their gods. Prince Pleguzas (is that a title? It seems to keep changing as people address him...) Jiart, is a very interesting character as he at first seems like a simple Char clone, however he ends up being quite different since he's the barbarian version. He does what he wants, takes what (and who) he wants, and doesn't give a care about anyone else. It also seems that he has quite a dominating streak about him, and he has a thing for Theoria (Lacus clone), who as been confirmed as an alien herself. Now is Theoria his and the king's younger sister? The king's daughter? (I really hope not, since Jiart seems to have set his eyes on her...o_o) As for our MJP crew, they seem to be trying to adjust to life in the real military but are having a little trouble and a bit of homesickness. They also seem to be having family issues since they don't have any memories of a family to have. (Why is that really a good idea again? What sense does it really make to wipe their memories, it doesn't make them perfect soldiers, it just makes them emotional confused.) They military is organizing a counteroffensive against the Wulgaru known as the Battle of Ceres, however, you can tell from the get go that it will be a failure because of our failure of a pompous tactical vice-chief who ignores all advice and you know will end up getting good soldiers killed. Unfortunately for the Earth Forces, the Wulgaru have already organized an attack against them and I have to admit when I saw the noble council members in battle, I automatically though "Star Wars" with their color coded units. LOL, they had yellow leader, orange leader, purple leader, red leader, green leader, and blue leader. All the colors of the rainbow! :P I like the fact that the aliens ships seem faster and more organic and unique in comparison to the Earth Forces vessels and mechs that look very metallic, unoriginal, and cold. Looks as if we're going to have an epic fight next week and this is the first time I will actually be looking forward to an MJP episode instead of just nonchalantly checking it out. This episode was more than I expected and so I have to give this an 8/10. |

Maybe I interpreted it wrong in the previous episodes but it was under my impression they didn't even have foster parents and were raised in the academy from birth *- Was reminded of Kise from KnB when he said that hehe Nope they already explained this in episode 5 (i think). They are raised by foster parents and their memories were wiped out before entering the academy. Not sure about test tube babies part though. I may have to watch the episode again. From the way I understand it, they are artificially and genetically enhanced and created by the military (so yes, test-tube babies), and then given to foster families to raise until they reach the age of 12. At 12, they have their memories erased and are put in MJP for training until they graduate to go into the real military. Its really a stupid and unneeded process to get soldiers, especially since it doesn't seem as if they've been fighting the Wulgaru all that long and there seems to be no shortage of able-bodied adults to apply and/or draft into the military. Wouldn't it be much less of a problem and less expensive to just get soldiers the regular way? The MJP students don't really appear all that special no matter how much the exposition says so. And they say they wipe their memories so they won't have any regrets and will be perfect soldiers. But they will still have memories that they make after their minds were wiped? And actually wouldn't taking away their memories they formed as a child make these teens even more emotionally unstable than they already are? Your childhood forms your foundation of who you are as a person. Why take that away? Memory wipes would only work if you were going to make these kids into unfeeling killing machines, but it's clear that you're not? So what's the deal? All the other soldiers seem to be doing fine without memory wipes, why do it to the teenagers who are going to need their background memories more than anyone? |
| Izuru vs Jiart , hope it will be epic.. |
| Keep moving forward |
| Good Episode!!! I like how in the first half they focused on the enemy's point of view as we start to learn a little bit about them. The second half was quite relaxing showing the MP in their new lives experiencing things like family that they have not really thought about in life. That commander really is a bit dunce and he seems to get ahead of himself making me wonder how he got the position of commander in the first place. The MP team are having their calm day although feeling very nervous about their upcoming 'The Battle of Ceres' as well as being disconcerting. The enemy has attacked them and the commander just initiates the plan to the surprise of everyone but I guess they will have to take action at some point. New character Yamada Peko seems like a mysterious character to me for now. Also I wonder when Theoria will make contact with Izuru!? Looking forward to the intense battle in the next episode!! 5/5 |

| I hope that idiot commander dies already. He's annoying as hell! |
 |
| Can someone tell me, why the hell they keep saying "main engine military"? |

| They broadcasted their plan? Really? |
 |
Cratex said: They broadcasted their plan? Really? I was bothered by that too. Really, that could have been so easily leaked. |
| They're assuming the enemy has no ways of intercepting or caring about their live military broadcasts. And, it isn't all the time skills or merit actually ends up getting them promoted. As our commander so proudly displays. |

| The commander is pretty annoying? How did he get appointed with such important position.. |
 |
| "You smell like my brother." /has sex with his brothers girl. Okay.... |
Stark700 said: The new girl is kinda strange imo but also cute in a way. Her voice is kinda of annoying though: That Chiho voice. The seiyuu can sound pretty normal (like Chiho in the recent episode), but she usually uses her super "cute" voice because of the characters she is given. Gives me a headache. The Wulgaru...not sure what to say about them. Overall...okay episode as always. Cratex said: They broadcasted their plan? Really? Yeah I found this to be a really dumb move. What if the Wulgaru has spies on Earth? =_= |
| This was a really good episode, probably the best yet. Really liked the OST in the beginning. Next episode looks intense. |

| Dat soundtrack. Also they broadcasted their plan. Are you, like, fucking stupid? LOL. |
 |
| Dat Chiho voice! Next episode should be awesome. |
 |
| Alright episode |
 |
| I'm just waiting for one of the main characters to die and shit to get serious. |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| that commander should get sacked and die a horrible death seriously -.- it's nice to see the crews implementing the factor of family to the pilots since they never (forgot?) the values of being in a family. |

| goddammit, I hope Komine is "relieved" of his duties soon by being shot in his square horse-head by someone more competent like Amane, where she can then take full command. |
| @symbv: When their ship is about to take-off. There were several English phrases/words during that scene. Specifically, that's before she says 'Blast off!' No need for subtitles to hear that they actually say 'Main engine military' LOL The English portions would be the following: 'Godinion cleared for take-off' 'Cleared for take-off. All ranges: green.' 'Before start check: complete.' 'Start all engines.' 'Main engine military!' 'Blast off!' I'm guessing 'Main engine military!' simply means it's now set for combat operations. |

| ^ That would count as only one time. Where does the "keep saying" thing come from? I have also done some check in Japanese forums discussing this episode. Fans interpret that statement as "Main Engine, Military", meaning the engine is to be put on military action mode for output (which is supposed to be higher). And there is some discussion about whether it is a bit unusual for a ship that is departing from its bay. |

And there is some discussion about whether it is a bit unusual for a ship that is departing from its bay. They actually say it every time they ready that red/gold ship. I've heard them say it at least 3 times. I just put as pretty much just silly techno-babble that they really didn't think about. |

Well, as the JURIA system (which I also think is stupid and unnecessary) is new and experimental and the only ones who are fit to supposedly test with it are the Fail 5 crew, I highly doubt the mind wiping had anything to do with that, especially since it was started even before they created the JURIA systems. In fact I think it was Rin who mentions that they wipe the kid soldiers minds when they come into the academy so that they will be perfect soldiers. This is not just Team Rabbits, this is Team Doberman and EVERYONE in the MJP. I think that's an incredibly stupid thing to do with teens since they need that upbringing and those memories to make them who they are. without them, they begin floundering like the Fail 5 are, not knowing where they belong, not having memories of being safe and comforted as children, not even having families in order to fight for. You get 20 soldiers fighting for their families, they are better than 50 hired guns. And what are they going to do when the war's over, as they've mentioned in the show. They'll basically just belong to the military to fight whenever they say fight. You'll have an entire generation of maladjusted people who are just being trained to fight and don't really know who they are. |
Paul said: "You smell like my brother." /has sex with his brothers girl. Okay.... If you've ever read a romance novel with an alpha male, you'd recognize that line as being from an ultra-dominating alpha male. It depends on the female and if she's into that sort of thing if the line will work. ;) |
Irenesharda said: They did not say how NEW Juria system is, right? So it is not definite that the memory wiping happened before Juria system first started to be developed - mind you it does not need to be fully in operation before they started to make preparation to get the pilots in a suitable condition for the system. Well, as the JURIA system (which I also think is stupid and unnecessary) is new and experimental and the only ones who are fit to supposedly test with it are the Fail 5 crew, I highly doubt the mind wiping had anything to do with that, especially since it was started even before they created the JURIA systems.

This is in the exposition by both Rin and Amane. Team Doberman and all the students in the academy are in the program where they grow the kids in test tubes, give them to foster parents until they are 12, and then have their memories wiped before putting them in the MJP. That's why I was saying it can't be related to just the JURIA systems since they've been doing this to these kids for longer than they've had the JURIA systems. And they stated specifically that they take their memories away to make them "perfect soldiers" so they don't let emotions get in the way of their decisions. However, if that's what they want, they are already sabotaging their own efforts. These kids aren't being conditioned or trained to not feel or not to regret, or anything like that. They are acting just like regular kids, they are trained like regular cadets, they even give them leave and time off so they can relax. This completely goes against the so-called conditioning that supposedly makes them into perfect soldiers so that they don't have regrets. They are now making new memories, and friends and connections, so why couldn't they keep the ones they had? Especially when the ones they have as children stabilize them as teenagers, and later as adults? |
| The first 6 episodes were hit and miss, but damn I like what I saw this episode. This episode just bumped up this series. |

| So the alien force looks completely like humans huh. So to they have different biology inside or are they biologically fully humans? Cratex said: They broadcasted their plan? Really? Lol that was my reaction as well. Even if their enemies are unknown that don't seem to have ever appear between humans and you don't even know if they look humanoid is still stupid to just broadcast your plan. |
| 5/5 Do one vote a little higher than I thought, justified by the fact that he still saw a good plot, even if the enemy does not have a face to characters suitable to be bad! XD Narration interesting and not far-fetched, we have the commander that goes through intrigues and our protagonists who face their day to day life. As far as I know, they are humans genetically modified by normal parents, who before entering academia subbiscono brainwashed to be prepared for their mission. |

Even if their enemies are unknown that don't seem to have ever appear between humans and you don't even know if they look humanoid is still stupid to just broadcast your plan. Exactly what I thought. I doubt the Wulgaru are humans biologically, because that would make them well...human. However, since they are humanoid (and probably compatible to humans as with many fictional humanoid alien races), they can easily blend in with the populace. Theoria and her valet Daniel have proven that. I am interested to know if Theoria is really just a Lacus clone or if there is more to her. From what Jiart suggests, she's a good pilot, and is she on a mission for her people? for herself? Is she just on the run from Jiart who seems to be domineeringly obsessed with her? Was Jiart her ex? Her brother? Her ex and her brother?! o_o |

Irenesharda said: I am not too sure about foster parent or the test tube thing but from what I understand is that they are all just normal kids who got their memory wiped out before transferring into MJP/school.No actually they do state that everyone in the MJP program has had their memories wiped.

They are now making new memories, and friends and connections, so why couldn't they keep the ones they had? Especially when the ones they have as children stabilize them as teenagers, and later as adults? Now back to the reason why they got their memory wiped out. IMO it is to make them bindless from anything(past and relationship) and to be able fully control them without having them question about themselves and the higher up. I mean these kids are old enough to some decision that a normal human could and would do but these kids don't. They just listen to their order even if it mean death. Because they don't have the concepts that most human at their age have. Even if they are allow to build a new relationship that doesn't mean they can become like a normal human in just a couple years. Specially, not in that training school and military camp. I think this is the whole point to wiped out their memory, it is to make them a perfect soldier that can fight on their own brain without being brainless. |
