I had to use MPC also, but it's not my normal media player.
I live with the fact that they're flying with skirts, but I can't really ignore how they fly without goggles. It's been bugging me since episode 01, and it's still around by episode 04. I just can't seem to grow into it.
Other than that, Gisey had a guestimaged diagram of the ship. Giving the precise directions she was giving seemed totally unreasonable based on how dangerous it is.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
It sounded to me that she was able to guess the approximate structure of the interior of the ballast area after she got a very close look at the exterior. Dio was highly impressed with her ability to discern the details of the Sylvius from that blurry photo. They're right, there's only so many ways you can build a capital airship, and still have it be effective at its task. Of course, Fam was correct too about the number of countermeasures and weaponry it had.
The bigger problem I had with this episode is right in the middle of it, I suddenly felt like I had missed an episode.
We went from Fam and Gisey nearly being drowned in the ballast tanks, to Fam rather happily agreeing to capture as many Ades Federation ships as her age. Her and what pirate army agreed to this? With Dio's help, sure, they might be able to take one. Fam can't take over military ships on her own. They need a crew. Moreover, she's not the one who landed the first harpoon, and she certainly hasn't landed any harpoons on the 15 vessels she's supposed to take. Fam doesn't have the command authority to do what Tatiana is asking of her.
I know Fam is supposed to be a free spirit and all, but how did she go from agreeing to help Milia save her sister to building an army just because another captain says she'll kill them for revealing military secrets? Furthermore...what military secrets? Fam and Gisey nearly drowned, and Fam only just woke as Tatiana gave her ultimatum. If she was so concerned, she would have thrown them off the Sylvius right away.
Also, it's one thing for the primary cast to be girls. Its another for all of Sylvius' bridge officers to also be female. It was acceptable before...now it's obvious this is Doki Doki Moe Moe Kyun~ Steampunk, not a Last Exile sequel.
That said, I did like Milia's new haircut and slightly more self-reliant attitude.

You forgot the Kyun~ between the 2nd Moe and Steam.
Peace.
When I saw Tatiana I felt as if she was familiar. According to RandomC she's a returning character. I don't remember much of the first series... but I wonder if she ever met Dio... since she didn't seem surprised when Dio boarded alongside the princess.
The military secrets were the functionalities of the ship, as well as its abilities. The main point was that it could go underwater.

Tatiana was the Silvana's ace pilot/scout. Possibly one of the best pilots in the sky, only rivaled by Claus (main character of Last Exile) and Dio. She's met Dio a number of times (don't want to say too much more than that for those who haven't seen the first series).
She was also the icon character of Last Exile, used in most of the promotional material.
I was assuming that she was using sonar to predict the exact turns, and was just guestimating where they would lead too. But after watching again there was no indication that she was doing that, I guess I just assumed it because the navigator of the sylvius was doing something similar 5 minutes before hand.
Indeed, which leaves me why they havent said much to each other just yet. Yes, they werent exactly close, but I was expecting Dio to say "Hiiiiiiii!" or something. Perhaps next episode?
I feel the same way. The ratio in this series is way off.
This series feels a bit too moe for me. If the airship parts weren't so great I'd have probably dropped it already.
Maybe they intend to use Fam's experience and knowhow, but the Sylvius' resources to capture the ships.
I was under the impression that this series was like centuries after Last Exile and that Dio was still around cause he's some kind of weird immortal elven race.
Now that a normal character is still alive, I'm wondering who else from Last Exile is still alive. I originally thought Fam was Klaus' descendent, but now he might just be hanging out someplace.
I think only 2 years have passed Darth
That...makes no sense.
They locals talk about the people who came BACK on the Exile, who have built these great kingdoms, and most people don't even seem to remember that the Exile is even a ship, and it's only been 2 years?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I take back what I said. Too bad there wasnt any mention of claus though.
Hoho, so now they start wearing goggles - and introduce the weaknesses of wearing a skirt. :P
What Millia did was pretty stupid. I can only think that she did that out of haste so that Turan would not be destroyed for one moment (by establishing more territory before the main land got written off).
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
She also apparently has no concept of the definition of the word "land".

I had a tough time believing this one. It's one thing for the Sky Pirates to swindle, lie, hijack, and force capital ships to "ground" as a method to steal them. But what noble in their right mind would agree to give up their ship over a bet? Even if they lost, they still have several scores of crewmembers that can simply not allow the pirates to take the ship. She had a superior semi-military force, and was sure she would win the cute "boy" to molest. Why would she simply just let her ship be taken?
I guess you could leave it up to apathy, which she certainly was...but that hijack was a little tough to swallow.
As for Augusta, it has always been pretty obvious that she's a puppet ruler. The one thing I did like was that there is more than one "not so loyal" Minister/General. Vasant appears to have an alternative motive as well, even if she is significantly more supportive of their puppet empress than Luscinia. They've also hinted that she was once an extremely fierce ruler of her own country that got absorbed. I'm not sure if the implication was that she was violent in the martial skills, or merely through policies.
...honor?
