Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet Episode 5 – Calm Day

Ledo ought to sport this attire for his whole time on gargantia, good. Seemed like an episode you save for like a bonus disc or something. That said following Ledo around for this day was fun and interesting. Pinion is an interesting guy and deserves more time.

The whole idea of this dungeon was pretty amusing as well as seeing it. But, watching it move wasn't so much.

I did enjoy Hakuryuu's tantrum mostly cause I totally expected them to go the other angsty route instead.

I got through the Zagan arc pretty recently in the manga. It's really good. It may even be my favorite arcs of the ones I've read. The way the dungeon's set up and the fights that go down inside it are great. I also love Hakuryuu as a character.

That was an enjoyable fan service episode lol, didn't realize how flat chested Amy's friend in blue was until she was in her bathing suit.

 

[firehawk12]

I was amused to find out those characters come from a VN called "I wanna say that I'm not your brother right now!" I guess those titles aren't just for LNs anymore.

Thankfully, it's not lewd or incesty. Apparently it's about a girl whose father marries and she thinks she's getting a step-brother... but, as the title suggests, the step-brother is actually a step-sister. Hilarity ensues?

Well of course! How are you gonna show off egregious loli panty shots if they're trapped inside a tank and not flying freely in the sky?!

Sorry if there's a good show underneath Strike Witches, I just couldn't make it through all the cringing I was doing. GuP managed to be a big success without fan service so why couldn't SW do that?

It should all make sense soon enough. I won't spoil yet but there is an explanation for all this.

Ok so I should continue taking it seriously right? It'd be a relief to hear that there isn't a train wreck of a plot coming up because I doubt this would get as entertainingly ridiculous as CG was.

No, it's fine. I'm one of many people who have zero problems with fanservice, and Strike Witches has that plus a cast of extremely lovable cast of characters and some decent action scenes. Also, Strike Witches is a big success (according to the pretty decent load of merch and metric fuckton of fanart) too so they don't really need to change anything!

Gargantia - 5

Awesome fan-service aside (which looked like something out of an OVA), it's nice to see the Ledo's evolution into a human being continue to go forward. This episode did have it's funny moments as well as some questionable moments.

For one thing, why was that old woman so concerned with Ledo taking the...BBQ sauce or whatever? I don't know why, she acted like it was a weapon the way she said it would "settle things". Who knows, nonetheless, good episode.

Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam 33

So I'm guessing Minerva Zabi is the character Marie Meia Kushrenada in Gundam Wing is based on, both are identical in appearance, and are little girls being brainwashed by others into living up to a legacy they didn't choose, except Minerva behaves like a little girl and Marie Meia behaved like a psychopath.

Anyway, Char FREAKS OUT and gets exposed as Char and errybody is all "WHAT LT. QUATTRO IS CHAR?" except Kamile. And now Sriracha is in league with the Zeon. And Rekkua needs to get over him.

Oh carl, you so tsundere. Also I was too dense to catch on to the fact that the town was named for the French number 16 instead of the random English word "Seize". I thought it was just the Japanese thinking English loan words were cool.

I hope this world building never stops since the setting is the real star of the show and not the girls. Also I never would've thought to tie glassblowing to music playing so props to whoever thought of that one. So

So I flipped a coin trying to decide whether to watch this or Windy Tales, sorry WT maybe next time. The best part so far is the grounded but exotic setting and in those respects it kind of reminds me of FMA or Kino's Journey. I'm a little disappointed that the military music corp isn't some ragtag group of guys and gals from various backgrounds but I knew what I was getting into, still makes me wonder what could've been. Hopefully the upcoming SoL elements don't get in the way of the world building. Also the Ska ED was a pleasant surprise, in hindsight it's a really obvious choice given the premise.
