Interesting.
Tbh, probably right too.

Episode 3
- - - - -- - - -
In retrospect it might be easy to judge that cutting edge weapons development shouldn't be conducted at a random school's maintenance workshop, but it would have been quite a stretch from the king to want it to happen at a secure place. The developer is not a recognised expert, after all, but a kid. That being said, those spies should be small fries as well to pay attention to it. Small fries or real monsters of insight. The results so far are so high already that realistically speaking when the king and officers hear about this, they should make sure some measures are taken. After all, the reactor is a state secret, so it's not like everything would be public knowledge in that country. That being said, I might be thinking outside of the scope of this series.
Ernie seems to be only happy when hugging a mecha, getting hugged by a girl does nothing for him. He sure has strict priorities. Or maybe that girl isn't his type.
More Gary Stuness as expected. Is there anyone else in that country with a brain?
Peace.
More irrational shinta-hating. Is there any posting with a brain in this forum?
@ep3:
Another fun episode. We have yet to see any consequences, though. Right now, Ernestie has got a banc cheque from the king to do as he pleases. This should change soon as the real combat potential of his improved Silhouette Knights becomes apparent and because of the spies. I fully expect the spies to steal plans for the new mechas, only for Ernie 1-upping them. That way, Ernie will get true mecha fights ;D
What Iīm not sure of: Are those improved Silhouette Knights already the ones Ernie *wanted* to create as his own, or is he still in the creative process to develop his very own mecha?
Or maybe he realizes that heīs in his 30s and sheīs, what, 14?Originally Posted by Kraco
... not that itīd keep *me* from *enjoying* her ;>

Irrational? Isn't he like super Gary Stu this episode? You may like that or not, but you can't deny he basically showed up the entire country, including the king, and is basically faultless so far. His life is ridiculously smooth sailing too. I personally don't like it because I got sick of it, but I know a lot of people enjoy these types of protagonists.
And you do know posts or postings as you call them actually don't have brains, right?
Peace.
But you ignore any and all info we have at this point in time. Ernestie ist a mecha nerd from our reality. That he manages to improve the silhouette knights (SKs, fuck writing that out every time) makes sense as it was presented: He can directly program their magic that he studied for years to get to this point. He had the motivation of an ambitious adult. And he has a clear image in mind what he wants to achieve, see his beloved mecha-anime. He even said it out aloud this episode, that he has those ideas in his head.
Everything makes sense.
And as for your Gary Stu-accusation: I fully expect a very soon back-firing. Be that spies stealing his new SKsīs blueprints. Be it someone dying because of him. Be it another person that came from his reality showing up as a villain. Etc.. I donīt believe for a second that this anime will be 12 episode of Ernestie showing off how awesome he is.
No, I donīt. Iīm a dumb person.And you do know posts or postings as you call them actually don't have brains, right?

True or not, it's not good to put yourself down like that.
I'm not ignoring the details. Being a Gary Stu has nothing to do if it makes sense or not. It's the fact that he is extremely good at everything that matters and is practically flawless.
Peace.
Gary Stu and Mary Sue for the win!
You people just jealous.
Nah, I'm just a little tired of the trope. I used to love it, like when I started reading the SAO and Mahouka LNs. Unfortunately, I've read more than my fair share of such stories, so I am currently not looking for more of them. I certainly see the appeal of it. Everyone likes badassery.
Peace.
Episode 4 is out....
I liked this episode a bit more since we got to know more about the other players. The last scene was promising something great will happen in the next episode, I fear they may be overplaying their hand. We'll see.
The development speed of the mecha seems unbelievably slow. It might make sense if the general level of the society was more backwards and they barely knew what they were dealing with, if the mecha were ancient relics they don't understand for example. However, the society looks advanced and scientific enough. There wasn't really so big a need to make the MC stand out. That being said, I continue to enjoy how Ernie doesn't care about anything else but the mecha, overwhelming the marquis with his blatant disregard of all political play.
Other humans, not beastly monsters, is a good change of pace for enemies. The enemies even seem to know, more or less, what they are doing, although I suspect they won't understand Ernie any more than all the other characters so far.
I was right that the people in their world are very stupid. How is it possible to take 300 years to move from one model to the next? I think there were at least 6 model changes in the wall poster showing the development of these magechas. If each model change took around that long in average, that would mean they had magechas since 1800 (more or less) years ago but barely made any progress...
I'd understand if it took them 300 years to come up with the first one, or maybe even 300 years from the first to the current one, but I believe the old dood said 300 years for just one model upgrade.
Peace.
Episode 5.
Confirmed wish-fullfillment OP MC bullcrap. I mean, what has happened in the show that was not written to make Ernie look badass?
This makes Tatsuya and Kirito look like neophytes. Neither of them changed the world by episode 4...
Peace.
Wah wah, the MC is OP, wah wah!
God episode. But we seriously need a cruel, important death. Thereīs no feeling for serious conflict atm, feels closer to watching Pokemon. One great choice for a death would be one of the twins.

If I had to complain about something in this episode, it would be the miserable defenses of that castle. They got in a single captured, damaged mecha and a handful of men, and practically took control of the whole fricking place for as long as they needed. If I was the king of that country, the marquis, or whoever it was who was responsible for the fortress, would earn a brief but impactful visit to the royal headsman's office.
For Ernie, though, this was ironically enough a stroke of good luck. He was responsible for nothing that happened, yet gained some extra points for heroic deeds. The major point, however, is that now an enemy nation has also the tech for a somewhat better mecha, so Ernie's country needs to pour in more resources to come up with something even better. Naturally they will turn to Ernie to design those better things.
Episode 6
- - - - -- - - -
The king is not foolish: He realised not all of Ernie's outlandish ideas are suitable for mass production, so he left the established workshop with the task of making moderated Silhouette Knights using appropriate parts of Ernie's inventions to the degree they make economically sense. I'm not sure if the geezer of that lab quite realised it since he seems unable to think outside the box, but he doesn't need know it for the process to work from the king's, and the nation's, pov. It remains to be seen what the results of this match mean, though. Ernie's models should be far superior, but if nothing else, a good bout against pros should reveal any weaknesses his prototype designs could possess. The old lab's models ought to be more stable due to their long history of proven models.
Normally I welcome romantic development on the side in nearly any show, but I'm quite satisfied Ernie doesn't give a shit about anything but the mechas. The girl is rather inconsequential, to be honest. The spy girl would be nicer onee-chan, haha.
Ernie is a passion driven inventor with some future technologies knowledge.
But he does not have lots of expertise in industrialisation or even man/machine interfaces.
The lab has this world economics, man/machine interfaces and industrialisation processes mastered. So they can polish Ernie's ideas to fully adapt their potential to that world.
Also, I'm pretty the almost bishounen guy is the one doing the job, the old guy is just there for show.
Eventually the two groups will mesh together to get to the op spoilers...
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Tbh it is my suspicion that the king is like Ernie - a visitor from our real world. Canīt really explain it, but the way he reacts ... hm. Either that or heīs just awakening his inner mecha-otaku lol.
