(5/10) I already feel the stitches of universe unraveling with me giving it such a high score. I dare go no higher.

I read through your post and I had mostly the same complaints about the last two episodes. IMO the reason why they green-lit it is because they knew that given their demographic, they could get away with it. Frankly, they had the choice of either finding a clever, well-conceived way of providing some sexually-tense scenes and development of Cryska's background, or going the easy route of "BEACH ARC FTW". They chose the easy route, military code and realism be 100% damned, because they knew that most people would keep watching it nevertheless.
Then again, from the start you see that this is a fanservice-focused anime, judging from "dem bodysuits" alone, and we can't expect
too much from it.
I really hope they are trying to copy Evangelion in having a few light-hearted, "typical anime" episodes at first to contrast with the future downward spiral into death and destruction. If it takes a beach arc to do that, I'll turn a blind eye.
PS: Chobi needs to die. No use for her type on the battlefield.
EDIT: Also, I totally called the Scarlet Twins' aversion to the ocean, just forgot to say it last time.
