----------------------------------------
Quite a breather episode. After all the trouble and drama, I'm glad to see the series taking a breather with the little vacation with Ouma, Yukina, Sophie, etc taking a break. Ha, I can't take Ouma cooking seriously

Surprisingly, Ouma got along quite well and seemed to have fun himself too. Would of been funnier if he got drunk

Oh boy, Yukina encounters the "Hime" at the onsen. I find this very awkward but also dangerous with the cliffhanger.

Their happy relaxing moment sure fell short, originally i thought it will take the whole episode which i don't really mind.

Surprisingly we get to see a glimpse of the Efidorugu's planet. Hime's memory looks pretty real to me, wonder how much she was brainwashed or memory altered.

Finally one of the main plot we look forward to whenever there is an anime like this, Yukina been captured to the outer space.

Episode summary:

Random fluff

encounter with Yukihime, who may not be from earth after all.

Yukina gets captured.


What I find most interesting about the Efidolg's home planet is the set up of its solar-system; a desert planet orbiting around a gas giant, with a captive moon in between which exerted significant gravitic pull on the planet's surface. It's easy to see, given the amount of material available for study, how Efidolg pulled ahead of Earth technologically. However, it also raises the question, given that Efidolg humans are genetically identical to regular humans, as to how you have members of the same species who are all but identical save for technological modifications existing on planets thousands of light-years away from each other.

Honestly from the start of this anime i just knew that Yukina would be kidnaped by the enemy at one point and it finally happened.
Well it's interesting to see what happens next

Also it seems the transfer confession didn't get over at all.

And Carlos' edited video is somehow hilarious. LOL

Kennosuke never ceases to entertain me. Everything was all fun and relaxing, until that ending.... Can't wait to see what happens next.

Great and highly enjoyable episode. Gotta love how the scenery in this show changed as time passes.

To be honest this show's tendency to go on long tangents before looping back to the plot is starting to irritate me. It feels like filler and wasted time. To me high school supporting cast is dead weight in this show. Writers could have easily thought up way more interesting scenarios to switch Yukina with Muetta without using them.

On more positive note Muetta flashback was the best part of the episode. The world she lived in as a child was interesting and gravitational pull event looked impressive. It also strongly sugest that she actually is an alien which I find way more intriguing than theory that she is brainwashed. Shame it was so short.

Also how did Muetta get poisoned? Elfidolg use vibroblades or something. Wouldn't it just shake off any substance applied to it?

Poor Carlos, trying to get sentimental but unable to with this group of people xD

Pretty relaxing ep, and I was really interested in Muetta's flashback, it gave us a bit of insight into her past but also showed off this amazing and super unique looking world that she lived on, and I'll admit I wouldn't mind getting more episodes showcasing that foreign planet

And literally right when they finally meet and Muetta can calm down Yukina gets taken, like why xD
I'm very worried for what she'll go through next ep

It is not that I don't get that the show has slice of live element to it. I am saying that it is by far the weakest part of it.

However I am invested in Elfidolg story line and like mecha part of the show too. So I am trapped and just venting my frustrations.

I bet that was the real hidden hot springs of Uesugi Kenshin they accidentally found. Seemed abandoned.

Guys in black must have followed them secretly because they were there that fast arriving. I guess there'll be some trouble with Kennosuke wanting to rescue the princess and the other guys wanting to torture her to get information.

IMHO though, the robot automaton just mistook Yukina for Yukihime. I think Efidolg people don't know yet the robot is bringing back Yukina. Hopefully she can figure that out quickly (if I am right) and act as Muetta and find a way back to Earth, eventually with Muetta's mecha?! :D

Episode that succeeds well to mix the appointment with the spa with the need to continue the story. Not bad storytelling that way to learn more about the characters, the quality of the drawings with ups and downs, great set design, ditto the OST.

Hmm....Only the last part advanced the plot. Kind of a waste of time really.
Sorry i don't care if that guy is changing schools. I wouldn't care if his not shown again ever.

Anyway the flashback of Yukihime may appear true but at the same time i noticed that she was reminiscing her parents threw it and yet she couldn't put a face on them in that memory. That also could be an indication of false memories but there is a chance the animators just didn't want to bother.

You are right. The b characters aren't that charming and nether are the dialogs that great as to make this slice of life moments a good part of the show.
i watch them waste their time talking and i get annoyed because everything is so boring.
Also i am quite certain that those secondary characters will never amount to anything so i wonder why we should care and all this events didn't really give us anything more about the main characters ether.

It amazes me just how much time this series wastes. I feel like everything that happened so far could've been done in <10 episodes.

SoL is only interesting when the cast is endearing/interesting. In this show, 90% of the cast have 1 character trait, if that. It's insane how little characterization they receive, with how much time the show spends on them. Most of the scenes are just pointless filler.
