Koharu owns. She loves samurai dramas so her first reaction upon meeting a real life samurai is to gently caress with him whenever possible.

I like how in the previous episode they do the "man out of time thinks there's tiny people in the screen" and Yukina is just all like "Oh come on can we just skip this part please?"

Kennousuke has a gently caress load of scars for someone his age, but I guess he's seen a pretty absurd amount of poo poo too.

I like how the show didn't just stop to introduce the whole supporting cast, but now we're sort of going back to get to know them through them having to be introduced to Kennousuke.

I like how the little sister speaks in an old timey way for Kennosuke and how mixing foods together is an unbearable sin to him.

They are tiny seemingly inconsequential details that shows just how far back he's from.

I'm pretty sure Koharu does whatever the gently caress she wants, in this case talking like characters in the period dramas that she's a fan of. That a Real Actual Samurai is now living with her is just the world's best icing on the cake.

I love how they were like "let's put it in the cloud" and then, like any proper private cloud implementation, unintended consequences happened organization-wide with no fix in sight

It kinda bothers me how these giant mechas are waltzing through the landscape with thundering footsteps, yet they don't leave as much as a faint indentation on the lawn
I mean, com'on, I know they've got gravity cancellation and whatnot up in those things, but I wanna see landscape wrecked by the daintiest of movements, as is proper for any giant mech!
On the upside, it's all but guaranteed that we'll get the ultimate wuxia move of standing on your opponent's outstretched blade, only with 40m tall robots, which makes it even better.

I like this show, nothing new, but super competent and charming! :toot:

You know they're gonna make more FMP anime right? It was revealed a few months ago.

yeah I'm not a big fan of the titular robot's design. head's pretty ugly and the rest of it's not remarkable at all

but then, perhaps I'm just spoiled by how robots in recent years have been ridiculously distinct and identifiable. maybe they're just running out of head shapes and so 'cobbled together tom clancy goggles' was the best they could come up with

I kinda like the designs. Unconventional and asymmetric bodies with Scopedog-lookin' optics, and a ponderous gait that makes 'em just be Big and Weird.

This ep was cool. The robot fight was pretty good this time, even if i still don't like the designs much. Also glad the main plot has started moving a bit, although i hope the show still retains its sense of humor.

Yeah, that was a suicidally stupid thing to do, literally even. Don't buzz the giant robot, even if it seems like it's ignoring you. :doh:

I actually really enjoyed the fights, especially how the UN guys were actually quite competent, hell, it seemed like they had a much smoother fight overall than the protags did.

I say we're going to Mars :colbert:

What's interesting is that they know the mecha, but aren't phased that it has been a few hundred years since it has fallen into human hands.
That cryostasis from episode one might be much more common.

A tardis one on top of that.

Those weird blocks sticking out of the back and rear end of the robots are missing on the Headless and Yellow Crab mecha, btw.
I guess that's the gravity control mechanism?

Honestly it's refreshing that they got that twist out early. A bad show would've waited until almost the end to reveal the obvious.

It probably is a Macross situation. They're probably looking for some artifact left on the planet by their ancestors, and in the process picking up modern humans so they can study their relatives.

It would be interesting if from a war standpoint this is a minor conflict. Think about it: they sent like, what, 7 large geoframes and maybe 100 smaller ones? Hardly an army.

it would make logical sense for them to be dead, but narrative sense for them to be alive. normally they would have somehow ended up with the aliens, but the aliens didn't seem to have any source of information about earth. i dunno, maybe a third faction saved them? there is at least one survivor of the original scouting party.
