That brief flashback of Yui there was pretty brutal but this episode was just that: brutal.

I spot a tsundere Yui this episode despite all the violence going around involving name calling. Ha! Anyways, not a bad episode and Yuya is a badass. Oh God, I hope he's ok because that ending...

Somehow TV Tokyo is gone from KeyHoleTV every end of season time, so I couldn't able to watch it live.

The leader got infected, and OnoD's character needed to fight those huge numbers of the secret alone.

The combat episode I was waiting for. Yuuya was awesome and Yui was delightfully cute. She's had it tough in her military career so far, so I hope Yuuya comes back to her unscathed.

This episode was so hard to watch. All I thought was "Don't die don't die dont die!!!!"

I just have this gut feeling they are going to kill off someone. Why am I the only one thinking negatively?

I'm soo scared for Yuuya. I'm being haunted by all the scenes of the minor characters getting eaten.

Though I loved the scene where Yuuya said he heard Yui saying his first name. So cute!!

Hmm... I wonder if someone will save him. He has taken alot of damage. I wouldn't be surprised if he loses an arm or a leg (actual body) there.

This was an irritating episode. There is just too much talking and blathering (over the last couple of episodes) while the BETA get closer and closer. It's like they're not taking their situation seriously.

And meanwhile, we keep seeing variations of critical systems failure and lots of blinking lights, but nothing seems to change. The 'last' chance keeps getting recycled again and again. It's a cheap way to keep the tension high.

Although I will give some props to Yuuya for being badass and Yui being adorable as always.

He'll probably get saved by the Zhar Battalion.

Especially since the head lady general of that battalion came on at the end of the credits to give the teaser for the next episode.

Usually that signifies some kind of intervention....

But in all, a great ep., I, for one, am pleasantly entertained by this show even with its contrivances and quirks.

However the whole "you can call me by my first name bla bla bla bla" topic could've been cut or at least shortened: you're surrounded by BETA, one of the two TSF is a wreck and yet you waste time this way?

Omgggg! this episode was so amazing, why aren't more people watching this show?!?!

okay, first i thought stella was dead because she didn't answer yuuya and i saw blood on the spike on the 'fort' class BETA, until she saved them!!

yui and yuuya's touching moments were very cute ^.^ but it dosent seem very realistic...unless it took place only for a few seconds..

then i was really touched by yuuya honoring the promise but i was a bit sad to see he lose the core, and then him offering to sacrifice himself so that stella & yui can get away i think he will be okay since hes the main character C:

All the stuff with the Iron Curtain and USSR or whatever is really dull and boring. The scene was so long with them discussion options.

But so suspenseful the whole time with Yuuya, Stella, and Yui. Am surprised he didnt actually get the core module, seems this episode nothing is going right for no one but Stella. The weapon was so powerful it ought to have been saved, not destroyed. And worst, if Yuuya dies :( ugh, I cant

Im guessing were not getting an episode the first week of October? Since it said ep 15 is delayed to October 14?

It's wouldn't b an apocalyptic anime without someone saying " you guys escape, I'll hold them off!"
Yuuya will b OK, he's the main character and center of attention for all the girls haha!
Something tells me that the core module isn't lost, when yuuya's mech lost it's left arm, I did not see the module in it's hand anymore b4 the beta started swarming around it. Could this mean something? or is it just the producers screw up?

Well Yuuya was pretty cool there. Besides the fact they had stood around talking too much considering how bad the situation was. Unless someone shows up fast he seems rather screwed.

Seriously though THERE ARE TONS OF BETA ABOUT TO KILL YOU WORRY ABOUT YOUR NAMES LATER. I mean really?

Not bad, but I guess the progression will pick up in the next few eps.

Indeed. Maybe it was a sense of urgency that was drilled into me whenever the BETA appeared when I was reading Alternative, but still.

And don't get me started on the absolutely terrible eishi in the Type-00s at the start of the episode.

The tsundere/lovesick/cry baby Yui is just annoying, as is the excessive dialogue whilst continuing to be surrounded by the BETA. Other than that, the show has gotten significantly better. The fighting is pretty cool and the characters are actually in danger now!

So my thoughts for this episode are:

While I like the fact that Yui is showing her cute side, I can see inconsistencies with her artwork in this episode, her face looked deformed most of the time she was the main highlight on the screen

I don't know why but I think Yuuya isn't badass here, yet, as he simply pulled the cliched "I'll hold them off while you get out of here" stunt and that's all. But nevetheless what made him the man of this episode is because he saved Yui and get her to safety while driving the BETAs away from her. it seems everything I read from a certain person's post on the EP12 discussion thread was right, he'll save Yui, transfer her to Stella and get left alone fending the BETAs until his unit gets pwned helplessly, and it's pretty easy to predict whose gonna save his ass from there - Zhar Batallion of course, specifically the leader of the group.

I'm enjoying the series now, I wasn't expecting anything from this show other than awful disgust for the gore scenes but it seems MLATC is not just about that. YuuyaxYui relationship gives it the light it needed to appeal to more fans i think.

Even though this anime has shown a lot of death scenes, Yuuya cant die...if he does I will probably stop watching this. Just this episode alone shows how FREAKING AWESOME he is, probably one of the better main characters I've seen in a while. So even though for most anime I don't mind the idea of the main character sacrificing his live for someone or something in other anime's, my mind is totally different with this one. Yuuya is just a bad ass and his interaction with Yui makes their "relationship" in the show really good.

While I would love it if this anime pulled one of the most ballsiest twists ever,(Killing off the main character) Of course Yuuya isn't going to die.

Yeah I felt the same. On one hand it's nice to watch them in a bad situation but on the other hand they don't seem like they're taking it seriously. How do they even have the time to talk and swap Yui to another machine at their own leisure is beyond me.
