I consider a filler episode any episode there is simply there to "fill" space with no real contribution to the plot or characters. There are many western tv shows that have no source material and yet have filler episodes. I thus consider this a filler episode.

This episode felt entirely like filler. It was kind of an interesting episode in the way that the girls were flushed out character-wise and in their relationship with each other, but it served no other real purpose. Honestly I think this episode would have been fine if it hadn't been coupled with the previous episode. I know that this is supposed to be a "calm before the storm" period, but it's just not working in my opinion. This would have been a perfect opportunity to make the big reveal about Lady Teoria. Instead they choose to do so immediately after the battle and then make another small event out of the crash landed Wulgaru ship. This episode, however, could have been done at any time. It could have been done after their first or second sortie. It really should have been. Hopefully the next episode gets us back on the plot.

Btw, as a reminder, this IS NOT an anime original series. This is actually an adaptation. It's just the manga isn't popular, I don't believe any chapters have gotten translated and no one seems to know how it got an anime adaptation green-lit less than a year into its run.
http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=71154 http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...-titles-listed That's pretty much the exact extent of the available information in English about the Manga. Though apparently there's also an adaptation of the Anime-version that started as well. |

I heard that this anime isn’t really a faithful adaptation of the manga though. Kinda like D.N.Angel, Ghost in the Shell, or Akira. I don’t know if this is true or not. For you who can read Japanese and have access to the original material (or Japanese sources at least), what do you think?

Its only 3 volumes so far published. And they went a more popular art design. Thats pretty rare. I guess someone saw potential in the series.

From what I heard the Japanese telecast of the episode had scrolling text saying that next week with be a recap special. However, also from what I heard, that it won't count as a normal episode, so it's not episode 13. It's more like episode 12.5.

We've been told the pilots have been genetically engineered for survival in space, so perhaps Tamaki's breasts are part of the experiment.
Maybe they store extra oxygen, the same way that sea mammals can store oxygen in their muscles so they don't have to breath for 10 minutes or more. Though if that's the explanation Tamaki probably can do without breathing for a week. |
