However, Tamaki did show more strength and tenacity in that she wouldn't give up even when her machine was overheating. Perhaps if she had continued, her harmonics would have reached the level where Rose 3's mind would have taken over?

Hopefully this will be something that they will continue to explore with the rest of the pilots now. Maybe Asagi will be next considering the next episode seems to focus on him. Also Asagi's my favorite character, so I want to see what his power up mode looks like. Which is another thing, I wonder if they all have power up modes or is it just Izuru...guess we'll have to wait and find out. |

Well, I don't know about that. They all really need to have some characterization. They've been generic and underdeveloped for half the series, it's really time for them to develop more now.
Izuru has had more development than anyone else. He already stands out as the MC. However, his status as MC shouldn't take away from the development of his supporting characters. I think it would be kind of cool for the others to have power-ups too. Usually the MC gets the first and most powerful power-up, but the other characters will get later power-ups that can help in the battle so they don't seem as if they are slowing everyone else down.

I'm curious what Asagi might turn into, especially given the stomach aliment. On the episode itself, another call out to Team Doberman's instinctive nature to Death Flag themselves. And their complete genre savvy at the fact they're up to it. Plus, battle field promotions! (Which is why the joke about "dying" worked, but you have to know the context of a bunch of those historical stories) |

I think that's pretty much point. Aside of mindwipe and mecha piloting he is normal teenage boy. All of them are normal teenagers. That's also why we get so much slice-of-life like episodes.
Screw protagonists with deep traumas, father complexes and histerical pacifists. |

The comedy was great this week. I was slightly disappointed Pimp Izuru didn't get to interact with Ange. I'm sure that would have been just as funny as the other sequences. He might have also been able to find out her gender.

Speaking of which, did you just skipped the episode where Team Rabbit got upset with how that stupid commander treating them like a set of expensive meat raised only to fight? So yeah, I think the series already showed enough of Team Rabbits anxiety of their current predicament if you actually paid attention. Right now, they’re just enjoying what they got.

They've been dull and generic for the entire first half, and it was only with the arrival of Ange that we're beginning to get some larger advancements in the plot and a bit more character development.

Ok, so just cause they are geneticaly engeneered and Belong to military we should get bunch of sociopath who doesn't cook, aren't geeks, covert perverts and hero fanboys? They are young, trying enjoy what they can and deal with own problems which is far more than most mecha pilots were ever able (They are too busy with angsting).
They act as normal teenagers so I threat them like ones. So does many characters in show. Last edited by Tenzen12; 2013-07-19 at 15:59. |

I mean they erase any memories of their lives as civilians and then forbid them from ever even attempting to get them back. The military has all these kid soldiers under their thumb. They've even got them trained to the point where they don't even care about their role as weapons. Since they do, for the most part, treat them like normal soldiers and human beings. (Well, that is except the part about not letting them have a family or a childhood or anything...but other than that... )
