^Before I move on, thanks for those, but they're also just plain descriptions of the relationships.
And, the 2ch snippets:
[NOTE: I didn't research the names so they might be really off]
Top row:
Kouga: The relationship of Feldt and Setsuna (in episode 47, "For the Future") is interesting...
Mizushima: Is it love? It's not (lol). At least at that point in time. When she thought about to which Meister to send the flower to, it became Setsuna by process of elimination. It appeared to her that he's in the most imminent danger. At the transition[1] start, seeing him so determined, she purely thought, "I want him to come back safely". That's it. When she said, "I wonder if Marina will get angry," it came from her honest feelings.
Kouga: As a director, which character do you like?
Mizushima: Personally, when I thought about it, it's Marina, but... she's low [2] isn't she? Since the scenes with Katharon are only a few, consequently, her scenes also became few. As a result, it appears that the scenes in my mind were not handled on a grand scale. I feel sorry for that.
Kouga: Marina does not have much to her? Because she occupies a special place in Setsuna's mind (lol).
[1] I'm not sure what transition/change is being described here, but I thought it's a "scene transition".
[2] I was thinking perhaps "low in ranking", but as some suggested, perhaps "lying low".
Second row:
[Blurry]
Third row, starting from first question:
Scriptwriter Kuroda says that "there is no romantic emotion".
Mizushima: Just like that. During that time, Feldt gave a flower to Setsuna as a "comrade". Feldt has different emotions for each of the Meisters. Among them, Feldt's outlook resembles Setsuna's whose age is closest to hers. Just before the great final battle where the all the Meisters might have died, Allelujah has Marie, Lyle has Anew, and Tieria is not human (lol), so the only companion that she could straightly run to, was Setsuna. Her line that goes, "I wonder if Marina will get angry" is not about a girl who feels guilty for an illicit love. There might be a misunderstanding, but that is what it is.
Fourth row, image at the right:
Abegawa: I see.
Mizushima: She put into the flower that she gave to Setsuna her earnest wish, saying "I want you to return alive". During the recording of that scene, the VA Takagaki asked, "How long have I liked Setsuna?" with teary eyes and I was stumped (smirk). I explained to her, and we received a very good performance from her.
Abegawa: There is a great uproar among the fans. They say, "This is the coming of a new romance!"
Mizushima: Everyone's heads is too corrupted with thoughts on love (lol).
Fourth row, image at the left:
Abegawa: The relationship of Setsuna and Marina, that isn't love too?
Mizushima: Yup, strictly speaking, it isn't. I think that it might be a stage of understanding before love, but will these two feelings intersect ahead of that point?
Takizawa: The fans say, "If the status is just as penpals, then that's lonely..."
Abegawa: In the first place, is Setsuna able to love anyone?
Mizushima: That's a tough question. Because practically, the heart of a child soldier is terribly distorted. All through his life, no matter what he does, he has to carry wounds that don't heal. He lost family and friends in front of his eyes at a very young age, and those hands are heavily stained with blood... Setsuna is like that too.

Timeskip FTW, yeaaah.
