I felt like this ep was a bit better than the first. Even if it was partly due to the preview suggesting things could get real from the third ep on. Still, I was annoyed by the poor performance of the military and on the other hand the less than convincing threat by the beta. I wasn't trained to combat space monsters, that's true, but still it's exceedingly sad the trainee girls fought better than most of the real soldiers - especially when the girls still weren't anywhere near good. The laser beta were the only convincingly deadly enemies and also explained why we aren't seeing attack planes but rather only ground hugging flying. However, nothing else made much sense military wise, except the very last artillery barrage, the likes of which we should have been seeing all the time during this fight, not only when the humans were losing.
Same feeling.

I was glad HS version was censored.

I'm a bit surprised mankind is focusing so much on gundam like machines when there are so many other ways to fight. Not that I know what should be done, but it seems taking years to train pilots for so little efficiency is a tad strange.

After all, those BETA use rather simple but efficient attack methods with specialized species.

Seems like laser type are overkill. They are quite small compared to other, but are very precise AND shoot powerful lasers. Those 2 specs give them incredible advantage as it's difficult to shoot them since they're small and they can shoot you easily.

Also, if BETA can have such lasers, why can't mankind reverse engineer some of the tech involved, even if biological?
A basic idea would be to interface a brainless lasertype... even if it works for some hours only.
