Well, I liked the episode... Bogie's new add-ons look pretty good, and Paife slaughtering everyone makes her awesome. For some reason I think Iks is the one responsible for the rampages and the blackhole thing.

Yeah, me too. He's the most mysterious character in the series. How did he get to the middle of the desert without anyone noticing?Originally Posted by Budweineken
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it before, but I'm doing it anyways. I just found out that Honoka's voice is from the same VA as Revy from Black Lagoon, it's freaking awesome listening how their voices differ from each other.
Really? I certainly never made the connection. Very interesting, just like you said. She sounds much more like Revy in Venus, but that's hardly surprising considering the roles are somewhat more similar. I recently watched Stellvia, but didn't recognize her in that one either. She's a talented voice actress, that's for sure.
I wish this series would continue. It's not like this was my favorite series, but it showed some promise, nonetheless. Especially in the last subbed episodes. Ayu, whose subs I started with and preferred, just recently released episode 7, so perhaps there's some hope still in the horizon.
Episode 10 by FnT:

Quite an interesting episode. I never considered the possibility of Honoka never having killed anybody, and thus I kept wondering why she acted so strangely in this episode, before it was explained. But of course it makes sense with the real enemies mainly having been robots. It doesn't look like there are too many random human villains to fight, anyway.
But there sure were lots of sound in the space, when the orbital weapon was reshaping itself to the launch position...
FnT brings us Episode 11
Damn... We didn't get to see what the wormhole driver projectile and explosion looked like... Quite a mushy ending to that miniarc. But not a bad episode, even if it wasn't as innovative as I hoped for.
Even though the last couple of episodes haven't been my favorite, still fairly good. Love the lesbo vibes from Paife.
Anyways, episode 13:

Is it just me, or did the graphics in this episode look quite different compared to the previous episodes?
I haven't watched the episode, but I browsed through it... and it isn't you, the character design sure is wierd, but if you look in the previews, the drawings go back to normal. As to why this episode has this wierd graphics I wouldn't know, it reminds me of that shitty episode from Sousei no Aquarion.
Ho... Wasn't a very long wait for the 14th episode...
Episode 14 - FnT
Edit: Graphics are back to normal. And the episode was quite interesting also otherwise. Too bad it's a vacation trip, and so they couldn't cut the meaty monster to pieces and sell at the marketplace. Even with a low price they would have fetched some good money, considering the thing probably weighed several tons. Well, assuming the meat is edible and doesn't taste of ammonia...

I thought I was just crazy, but apparently you both have noticed this animation issue. I thought they switched animation studios with the new ED and all, but apparently not. Watching ep 13 was definitely an awkward experience.
yeah, I just watched 13 too, and was taken aback by how .... err ... round everyone's face looked.
I just wrote it off as an unmentioned swarm of desert hornets stinging people in the heads in an indiscriminate fashion just before the episode started.
The FnT crew is working like slaves, and the next episode is already here:
Episode 15 - FnT
I wish Iks would actually do something in even one episode before we run out of episodes!
Episode 18 - Fansub no Tameni
Edit: A couple of earlier episodes skipped in this thread:
Episode 16 - FnT
Episode 17 - FnT

another episode! FnT Episode 19
will there be discussion, I wonder ...
And so the aggressive negotiations started... Quite an action filled episodes certainly. Few battles in this series have been really equal, and this episode didn't break this rule. Only exceptional enemies have any chances against Honoka. The usual stuff, no matter what forms they take, are weeds to be cut down at leisure. Well, it was still entertaining to watch.
One thing I wonder is the wormhole driver. You would think the admistration of the three eyes would have taken a crew on a shuttle to the satellite and shut it down via hardware means until they have dealt with the rebellious queen of the nanomachines. It seems implausible they would have just left their most potent weapon under enemy control like that for extended periods of time.
I think the reason The Third hasn't done anything like that yet is because they can't. Not that they're incapable of going there and physically doing something about it, but that the things they would normally send are autonomous soldiers, autonomous planes, etc... basically AI-operated systems. Anything they send out will be taken over.
Blue Breaker is an exception, as is the plane's AI. But the general rule is that The Third's military forces are generally all the same, and generally all susceptible to that type of attack. Least, that's what I think.
For that matter, if they tried to dismantle it, it's possible that the controllers would notice and start firing it indiscriminately, destroying cities, bases, and so on. In essence, this is a hostage situation, with the whole world as the hostages.
Really, though, the whole scenario points to the indolent complacence of The Third in their position.
