Despite an ice age and a post-apocalyptic waterworld I see Hawaiian shirts are still around.

But seriously Ledo, you look like a tourist on vacation in Hawaii with a Bluetooth on...who happens to also have a giant mecha parked in the background.

Where's my Bellow's waifu?

[Tenzen12]

What do you mean by "MY" ?! Dare say it again!

But you have point. Where is MY Bellow's waifu?

My wish of seeing Ledo in only his underwear for most of the episode, thwarted by an aloha shirt...

Actually with how pale he is, it's for the best. He would probably get sun burn.

Spoiler for Episode 5:

This week's episode shows us the main cast tanning in the beach, filled with some fanservice. Too bad Ledo gets chased by a bunch of strange and muscular crossdressers, resulting in rather wacky jokes. It then ends with the beautiful sunset, with everyone at Gargantia eating barbecue thanks to Ledo finally finding a lost sauce bottle. I'm really looking forward to see what the next episode is trying to talk more about Pinion and Bellows, but I was confused about the last scene in the next episode's preview, I'm imagining it to be either a dramatic shower scene or just showing a piece of flashback or a mysterious female (?), but let's see how it goes.

Enjoy T&A

5 episodes and shit has yet to hit the fan. I'm confused.

[Eratas123]

Urobochi allegedly only wrote episode 1. The other eps are written by other people, which might explain why things aren't going horribly.

I rather face against giant space snail than that O.o [EYE CANCER!!!!!!!]

Ledo need PTSD counseling ..........

[II Maestro]

*-Sniff-* Why must there be creatures like that appearing after the fan service.

[ookamigirl]

Ledo feeling useless.
Guess, it's about time he finds a purpose for himself there.
After five episodes he's still pretty much nowhere.
Guess this was an equivalent to a day at the beach episode that pretty much every anime has.
It was nice and relaxing.

[Entravity]

Nice swimsuits. Slow, slow episode.

[Kirarakim]

After the excellent episode 4 this felt like a complete waste of time (especially for a 1 cour series).

Ledo smiling a few times & Chamber just being Chamber was about all I enjoyed about this episode.

Gargantia 05 - Gargantia Cruise Lines International

Probably my most enjoyable episode of the series so far. Plenty of jokes, a lighthearted atmosphere, and an exploration of the ship's non-battle related parts. Which is good, because seeing Ledo learn that there's more to life than battle is a major part of the show. The cooking scene does make me reconsider my earlier remarks about Ledo's stuff having a "stun" setting. He doesn't even have a "cook" setting. Even if he did get to Avalon, it looks like he'd have no bloody idea what to do there. The swimsuits were cute, and having Chamber being used as an impromptu grill was hilarious. It's about time Ledo learned how to have fun. The odds of seeing those swimsuits again is unlikely, but I want to see more of Maita, for the exact same reason I was a fan of Junna over in Robotics;Notes. Same character design, same voice actress.
