Episode 6 - Underwater

This show presents quite an interesting setting in the sense that the main character is somewhat out of everything big going on, apart from saving the day during the occasional battles. He's just living his own life like anybody would. When he's piloting, he's still no different than any other pilot, apart from kicking ass twice or thrice as much as the others. Based on the paper, they haven't even given him any special military rank, just a senior pilot. Giving him the permission to live anywhere was quite smart as it assures he won't be regularly sneaking without a permission to any place strange. Instead he will stick to his house in a strange place, which is much more predictable. He has a tendency to do things his own way, without consulting others, probably due to his lonely childhood.

Izana was drawn with boobs in this episode, so that seems to be settled for good, if there ever was any ambiguity in the first place. You'd think Tanikaze would treat her like a girl after having a firsthand feel of the assets, but who knows. It seems more like he treats her as a colleague pilot and that's it. It shouldn't have been that easy to ask a girl to move in with you to a new apartment.

Based on the preview a lot will happen in the next episode. The graviton cannon going berserk is a likely candidate, seeing how it was already growing tentacles in this episode, possibly to integrate itself with the ship's power grid.

I realize we so figurines before, but ... a whole shop for plastic models? You´d think ressources are rare and ought to be treated with care. Okay.

Lol, yeah. That scene basically simply neglected both their reactions as they should have followed. Like, Tanikaze being nervous about asking a girl to live with him, and Izana questioning his motives. Weird. It sucks that our hero is trapped in his guilt-love with Hoshijiro, trying to make best with that gross tentacle variant of her. Seriously, do we know how that placenta stuff smells? It looks so gross and I always imagine its smell to be akin of rotten flesh. Eww, sleeping with that.

I still hate that both Kunatos were randomly killed by some miniature Ochiai-cell clumps. At least somebody should unmask their real identity sooner rather than later.

If Tanikaze hardly even recognizes Izana as a girl, then it's more plausible, especially with his lacking social grace. However, I'd hate that option as it would mean nothing could ever happen between those two. What comes to Izana... Well, yeah. I'm sure she doesn't actually question his motives as she must be aware he's dense and absolutely harmless (I'd rather expect Izana to sneak into Tanikaze's bed than the other way around), but it was still too sudden.
