Amy's sparkly eyes are great, as are Ledo's clear amethyst ones.

For some bizarre reason I never thought about it before, but now I wonder if Chamber could actually turn out to be a problem soon. Considering how readily people undesirable to the war effort are pruned and how advanced and thus probably highly expensive the battlemecha must be, it would make sense Chamber had an auxiliary task of also monitoring if the pilot has become unusable, that is, has started to question the logic behind the Alliance's ruthless treatment of its citizens and the never-ending war. It's not like Chamber would actually need Ledo for anything on Earth. It's simply waiting for retrieval in order to get back to fighting. If it judges Ledo is no good, it could leave him behind (or even eliminate him) and prepare for the next pilot.
Chamber is clearly responsible for much fun in this show, so it would be sad if it disappeared.
I don't think he'll do that, because despite his overall superiority he is still submissive to Ledo. The program must be written such that he'll obey and support the pilot. Monitoring brainwaves would come under one of those tasks like a doctor. Even if we say that Chamber will betray Ledo for the Alliance, I don't think it would happen until they find their co-ordinates or receive word from HQ.

Talk about overkill, using such a weapon as a barbecue grill
I guess that "filler/slice of life" was necessary to show how Ledo slowly meshes into the Gargantian community.
It was also useful to show us the size of the thing, how they have some agriculture, cows and the likes.
Now I guess we need another crisis.
I like the water/air glider a lot.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Size of the thing... Like the relative sizes between the various women's assets. Quite a fanservice episode, and I didn't dislike this at all. Although I do hope, as well, that we will get another crisis.
Poor Ledo needs something to do in any case. If Chamber has lots of energy, he could easily make a living out of flying between the various fleets all over the world. But we haven't really been told how much energy stores the mecha has.
Yeah, it's a cool device. Quite surprising it could generate enough lift for two people, though.
I'm reasonably sure that the "filler" was the space battle at the beginning and the pirate battle. The meat of the story is slice of life and Ledo's integration into non-military life.
It still bothers me that they are able to obtain luxury items like sunscreen. Are they mining minerals from the ocean floor, or just salvaging? Swimsuits don't bother me because cool clothing that dries quickly are obviously vital for life on the fleet. I keep thinking this series should be less like pacific atoll life and more like Waterworld.
It would be nice to know how much time has passed since Ledo woke up. He's picking up the language, but to gauge his intelligence I'd need to know whether this happened over 6 days, weeks or months. He's gotten used to eatingcarcases, that's for sure.
I'm sure there will be some sort of trigger later on that will cause humans to appreciate having their own energy source, which Ledo would be able to help with.
@Kraco: if it was a nuclear reactor or something, Chamber could go on for quite some time.

Due to the size and output of Chamber, I think it can replenish its own energy reserves. Having a limited supply of energy does not make sense considering the absurd technology we have seen Chamber use. Slower than light bending lasers...
Peace.
Wouldn't unlimited energy be more absurd? Chamber landed in the bottom of the sea for six months, or are you suggesting he's got a large reserve, as well as some super-efficient solar panels tucked away somewhere?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
It's a Palladium Reactor. I bet the Lambda Driver is running all the time too.
( ￣ω￣ )
Third season never :/
@Buff - I meant Chamber had the ability to use energy from other energy sources, like stars, chemical reactions, whatever. Energy conversion/absorption makes much more sense than simply having a large battery.
Peace.
That pains me so fucking much.

Pretty much the usual pace. But then a cliffhanger.
No, I'm wrong. Ledo felt something for Amy. Too bad the budget has been low for that ep.
Again for the dancing ep, like for Magi.
Regarding the last scene, I was wondering if the confirmed enemy was in fact the same species but a branch that did not evolve and remained on Earth. Or if it is some kind of scout that happened to catch/follow the distress signal.
Since its water motion seemed very natural and Ledo reacted strongly to the octopus, the earth version is quite probable.
The only strange thing is that Chambers was able to detect it and have a 99% identification.
If it's really an earth born Hideauze, that would mean most characteristics did not change much.
And here it gets good:
That means the humans from space might be able to study the Hideauze from earth safely and find lots of weaknesses and how to fight the space ones.
That could also mean that when humans fled earth, they brought Hideauze that evolved to become their enemies. And both races evolved in their fight against one another, leading them to a life system that is ridiculous.
If on the other hand it really is a space Hideauze, Earth is doomed...
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
One other option is that the Hideauze aren't an alien species. Just a out of control experiment. Those Lightbugs are freaking nanomachines that roam the ocean. Might as well be a result of that experiment.
I would say it is more likely that the Hideauze are circumstantially 99.7% related to squids, and this is a whalesquid that was mentioned earlier in the episode.
Just because they are close, doesn't mean they are identical. Most terrestrial vertebrate life on Earth is over 70% related.
Otherwise this was a rather romantic episode between Ledo and Amy, animation fails during the dance scene aside.
Yes the whalesquid, but somehow I'd like a little more action from the show
And since the pirates did not last very long...

Episode 6 - UTW-Vivid
My first thought was Ledo had brought a piece of Hideauze with him and it had regenerated (since they seem to excel in that). However, I've to say your theories sound more interesting. It looks like both sides, Earth and space humans, have lost much lore, so it's quite possible the space humans brought some genetically engineered creatures with them from Earth that later went berserk. In such a case it's quite natural the leadership would erase from history the origins of the enemy and simply brainwash everybody to think it's a space alien bent on destroying mankind. The lightbugs might be related to these things as well. I guess Bellows's reaction in the next episode will reveal that. If she has never seen this thing before, then it could be more probable Ledo brought it from space.
But yeah, a very nice episode, despite the animation problems. It's good Ledo is interacting more with people, especially Amy. There's definitely starting to be something between them, even if Ledo has no idea what. Another good scene was Chamber requiring assistance from Ledo, because it was sort of sad to see a gap growing between those two.
If Ledo wanted to, he could get into the pantsu of every female (and some males) in the show.
I was surprised by his embarrassed reaction after touching Amy. I would have thought that kind of emotion would be quite useless in the world he lived in.
Peace.
