I also don't get why Commander Latrova and her squad would be willing to sacrifice themselves for him. He's nothing special. Unless the did it just for the machine or because they were under orders but that didn't seem to be the case. I may be the only one who feels this way. Please tell me if I'm not. Tell me if I am.

Test pilots (from all and any test programs worldwide) are Elite within Elite. but again, not your fault since this was explained on the VN, making me wonder once again why did they took the way of adapting a side story instead of the main stuff... but glad they did, otherwise Alternative would have been butchered as badly as the 1st 9 eps of this :/ on the particular case of Yuuya, he needed time to grow accustomed to the Shiranui II, the whole 'battle doctrine' stuff wasnt made up, but it seems is worse than i thought and his adaptation capabilities seem to be above-par, i'd guess that from now on that the Shiranui II is on a far more complete state things will go smoother for him. ** edit: heh, bet i seem like a hipster douchebag all high and mighty like that. |

Sure he's an elite but so is everyone else around him which makes him seem so not special. Maybe he in theory adapts quickly but there is know one to compaire it to and every time he goes out to fight he either cheats by using a massive gun, gets rescued after getting the stuffing beat out of him or directly diobaying orders. None of which it good. He suposedly learns to piolet a new model quickly buy he's no Luke Skywalker. Let's just say that from what I've seen in just this anime he bothers me. He's dumb and cluless and would be better suited for the gerneric role of a harem main character in some school anime. Wow that's mean. :) I like that you are seeing it from a slightly different point of view then I am and thanks for shareing some of the extra info you have. Maybe it will prevent me from just droping this anime. I would hate for something cool to happen right after I stop watching it. |

Woa woa woa... stop right there Latrova and her squad didn't sacrificed their lives for him , Latrova only asked her subordinates to send Yuuya to a safe zone , she decided herself that her squad would go and wipe out the BETA Laser class but she didn't go with them , she went back of the base to intercept that one TSF that was slaughtering the BETA. |

| Didn't like this episode much. No events where occurring and it was basically a waste of time. The new characters hardly took much time to be introduced so we didn't need so much time wasting but i guess it's supposed to be a cool off episode after the previous intense events.

Just don't leave me hanging. Why Yui likes him isn't exactly something that needs explanation. People like who they like. But as about Latrova she certainly didn't give her and her teams life especially for him. He just happened to be lucky on the way the events unfolded. Her team was supposed to go to the base and clear all the BETA there so they went and saved him when they saw his flare simply because he was at the base too. I mean even if you are not deeply connected to someone when you are fighting you don't just let the other by your side die when his right there and you can save him, especially if he saved your life before which he did when he told them in the previous battle to disengage and he fired that laser gun. And after they saved him they were still alive so they certainly didn't die for him. They could have easily chosen to go back to base with him and that would actually had been even more helpful to him since he wouldn't have to walk the distance wondering if his mecha was gonna make it but they stayed behind to take out the laser class because if the laser class stayed the BETA would have gone even deeper costing bigger damage. Even though she was betrayed by her own superiors Latrova chose to do her duty as a soldier and kill those dangerous laser class and not duel on the political games her superiors where playing. Besides she also knew she wouldn't be welcome back since they planned to kill her and her squad right there. As she said to Bringes: "It's not a pilots job to get involved in politics". So she simply did what a pilot should do and tried to stop the BETA from advancing any further. What killed her was her superiors sending that super mecha to make sure she and her team dies since they failed to kill her with the bombings. Even if she had let Bridges to his fate she will still be dead because her superiors wouldn't risk letting her come back alive. The only difference is that Bridges would have died too along with her in that base. |

| The ep was really sweet :) And it seems to me that Yuuya will end up with Yui because obviously he thinks of her in different categories than he thinks of his other firends. In the flashback it's "Friends and Yui", and honestly If he'll end up with any other girl it will be completly out of the bule and my rating for the series will drop like hell. |

| Good set of new characters, looks like the start of an exciting new arc! |
| Oh snap the raptor looks sexy af. Lol of course the us mech has to be called Raptor I'm guessing after the F-22 raptor |
| *sigh*...it is a harem anime after all...now we have ourselves a tournament arc. After coming off a solid fighting/political arc too. |
 |
| Enjoyable episode. Much less serious than the last few. |
