But the thing about imagining things and then the mecha making them 'real' seems quite...hard to comprehend or even explain, to say the least -_-
I hope things about the Arbalest's operation get cleared up soon.

Great fight toward the beginning of the episode. I hope they explain this technology later on.

I wonder what other fun situations will those two encounter next.

The last AS battle looked like a halo vs game with all the jumping. Cool episode, but I have a bad feeling that Chidori is gonna get really Tsundere, and I'm kinda tired of that personality nowadays.

Yeah, this "Black Technology" makes me wonder what was done to get it. It's a bit to much to expect real technology so something supernatural brought this about for use.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Yay for some explantions! So most of the mechs use black technology, and Kaname is able to understand and/or exploit it's strenghts and weaknesses, yeah?
Next episode brings in the return of the comedy.

This was my favorite episode so far. Great mecha action and a lot of mystery in the air... it looks like there's a lot more to the plot than what I initial thought. Looking forward the answers!

Oh and for some reason I had an Evangelion feeling during the fight...

Nice episode. Great fighting, action, suspense... and I love the characters.

Looks like were gonna have some school hijinks to break up the action for a bit... like it...
it worked for Geass (I know THIS came out first, but I've seen Geass b4 this). Good formula.

On to the next episode....

Lambda Driver is totally overpowered.

But I love the answer: How do we know who made this technology? But it exists. They don't try to throw at you the explanation at the get go, because the people themselves don't know it.

Though it looks like the story ended in episode 7, lol. I wonder what the next 18 something episodes will be.

That would have been too good haha, too bad he had orders that it was "insurance", otherwise it would have been a coincidence.

Well the concluding fight was okay I guess, certainly some incredible destructive power. Kaname provided some information support. Best part though was the joyful tears in her eyes as she learned Sousuke would still be guarding her at the end. Not that that was a surprise this being just 7 out of 24 episodes, this season, but still...it was sweet. XD Ditto the wacky ending back at school.

Interesting things got explained this episode. So with your mind you can control this new arm slave. Kaname knew everything about it, how to control and what Sousuke had to do.

The fight overall was pretty cool and I hope won't see Gauron again.

I had to laugh when Sousuke threw Kaname in the year to shoot at that helicopter :D

I'm glad Melissa could help Sousuke, Kaname and Kurz to escape :)

The scene in the hospital was cute, Kaname crying when she saw Sousuke <3

So with this technology anything you want to with your mecha is possible, seems a bit broken and I think it needs further explanation ... as of now it comes down to who wants to beat the other the most, who's the most eager to win no matter what.

Obviously Sousuke was going to stay, I liked when Uruz-2 (Melissa) said he was on a different mission knowing it was to stay with Kaname :D

Gauron is dead hahaha.. no way.. right?
Usually anime villains died with screaming "BAKANA", impossible!, or something like that xD

It's anime don't question the logic behind everything!

Kana-chan just got Sousuke'd
Back to peaceful daily lives I guess xD

The Lambda Driver is unusual for a deus ex machina, and the comedic cuts in serious dialogue are not unwelcome, but the balance between ridiculousness and intense military mech action hasn't tipped over quite yet. With that being said, if the show continues to deliver in both aforementioned areas with equilibrium, then I think this show will live up to the hype.

Maybe a little too hasty the battle between Sosuke and Gauron, which sees the first victorious almost to the ass, and that makes the clash uninteresting, it was better to stretch it and see more blows, the fanservice with Mao in nursing, is a bit out of place . The first narrative arc gives good answers about who the villains are and why Sosuke protects Chidori.

So they had to destroy every random mech but the experimental one is fine to send out unpiloted even? I guess they had a go fund me page for that one.

Lmfao what was that teacher animation, I love when anime gets unexpectedly goofy like that
