I suggest you spoil all your post, man.

[up]

If you're following the manga, there's an inherently bigger problem here with regards to Nagate — in that he himself has no idea what really constitutes a romantic relationship. It's why much of his interactions with Izana and Yuhata later on come off as awkwardly platonic (despite what both girls would like), even when someone else is trying to push things along see Izana's grandmother.

In any case, shipping in this series is ill-advised. I suggest just sitting back and enjoying the hard SF and mecha action, what there is in the midst of the harem hijinks. And there WILL be a harem.

As for you know who, what, you'd think this will be the LAST time we'll see of her? You'd be dead wrong on that account.

Oh, I'm caught up with the manga, but there's other people in here who haven't read it, and I've been deliberately vague in my posts to avoid even giving hints of spoilers to others.

You're totally right, though. Nagate's always been socially awkward, and even as the series progresses and he improves, he doesn't get over it completely.

Just because you live in a horrible space apocalypse doesn't mean you can't have wacky harem hijinks.

On a different note, have we figured out what pronoun to use for Izana?

Anime Izana (corresponding to the start of the manga), or current Izana (in the manga)? Because I remember giving up on the former, but the latter is definitely a "she".

I think they'd qualify as genderqueer so They probably would work.

Just watched ep. 7 and holy shit does Kunato need to get his face kicked in. His behavior is just plain infantile at this point.

[up] It's beyond infantile, he's actively dangerous, not just to Tanikaze but everyone around them.

Agreed! Spiteful jerk, he endangered the mission just to mess up Nagate's reputation. And he(indirectly) got Hoshijiro killed. Grr...

Yuhata as Commanding Officer's cool, by the way.

Wait why didn't the over squadmates hear Kunato clearly give the order to detonate?

Kunato used a private line to talk with Nagate.

Ghana Hoshijiro is super creepy, at least Kunato shows some kind of remorse.

Hiroki was a complete badass, cloning explains Nagato's prowess a lot more.

Do they ever explain Hiyama? We got some past information, but I don't understand why/how she is a bear.

Some decent back story this episode, and a lot more questions where brought up.

[up]Hiyama is a bear because it's actually an organic life support suit for her crippled body that can't survive on its own. They don't explain why it's a bear, but since it has to be larger than her actual body for her to fit inside it makes some kind of sense, I guess.

Sort of a Tell Tale Heart thing going on with Kunato here.

[up]x3 Nihei likes bears.

A few things were changed from the manga; Kunato doesn't freak out in this battle, that I recall, and it seems that another event (the Mass Union Ship's appearance) has been moved to another battle, since it didn't happen in this one.

I thought that tweet only said they would be happy to make a second season because the 3D is quite satisfying?

Also: Nagate eats Nori in Chapter 62.

There was a post earlier on Yaraon, but then it quickly flipflopped on the topic of another season. As for he current pace of the adaptation though, it looks like they're trying to get the Benisuzume plot taken care of within the scope of the cour. Though stranger things have happened — see Magi's situation, where the freaking second season was announced only well after the 1st season was into its "ANIME ENDING FOR THE LOSE" track.

As for the manga, ugh, the Mizuki mission seemed to be headed well into FUBAR territory before it truly begins.

I'd like to say that mission contained a few situations that really might bite Kobayashi and Nagate in their rear ends in the future. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
