I had figured she'd at least try to learn from Layfon how to stop being so useless all the time.

I assume that Nina is doing her own special training. Mei sees her returning to the dorms fairly late at night. I don't think she's sulking but certainly she's pushing herself to get stronger though from the preview of Ep7 she probably pushed herself too hard.

She can be better leader just because they have Layfon doing all the work... Leadership doesnt always mean being the most skilled person in the squad.

[Momosan]

I dunno, she seems to be neglecting her position as she keeps dismissing and cancelling practices. I understand you don't need to be uber powerful to be a good leader, but if your leadership has no effect whatsoever on the success of your unit then it's a moot point. She has had Felli, Blondie, and the mechanic for quite some time now and they've all amounted to nothing under her watch. Her squad has failed nearly every trial presented without the aid of Layfon. If this is the case then why would she be cancelling practices instead of trying to get her squad up to par? Well, up to par is a bad choice of words since apparently every other squad is just as worthless.

Maybe because she felt they didn't because the squad already had Fon-fon? Yea what she did is childish and lamenting the facts that the training would mean nothing with Fon-fon around and the other squads bitching on how hers too dependant on Fon-fon.

But this is a good chance for her to improve and grow as a character. Fon-fon will be the reason for her to improve and honed her own skills and team. He's basically a finishing point that the Nina and the squad would strive (albeit almost impossible right now) to reach in order to get stronger.

[Kinku]

I think a good example of her leadership is when she didnt back down with Layfon before fighting the Filth monster assult.. While layfon wanted everyone run and hide, she wanted to stay and fight to prove they can do it.

[TrueKnight]

Indeed, I think each member of 17th platoon actually represent something,

- Nina: Authority
- Fon-fon: Power
- Felli: Information
- Sharnid and Harley : Comedy

[monir]

- Mei: Pink box lunch..

...if she was in the platoon. For some reason I thought it was a pertinent observation.

Well we can excuse her for a while, because evreyone would be surprised in front of Layfon's strength. I mean she encouraged him to do his best, but when she told Layfon that she didn't imagine what is Layfon's best...
I bet she thought Layfon was very strong but nothing more than that: she could never dream of Layfon being a one-man-army. In fact she was astonished when Layfon took care of all that baby bugs by himself.

Well, someone has to be in charge of feeding everyone.

Pretty decent setup episode, though I might be annoyed if Fon-fon's harem keeps growing.

I had some laughs this episode, though I did find myself asking why I enjoyed watching Mei so much. I usually dont like the shy characters. But i think i like her because even though she is shy, she isnt naive, and isnt shy and a tsundere. So it just really ups her cute factor with me.

With the bugs in episode 5, the plot is slowly moving forward; I hope we can get through the "Many faces of Zuelli" arc fairly soon, because I am now at the point where its starting to lose its enjoyability some.

Oh and, who is the guy in the flashbaack thats saying things in engrish?

[Momosan]

Out of all the female characters I assume I'll probably like Nina the most as long as she snaps out of her rut. I just have a really bad habit with wanting to make anime characters act coherently which is why everyone over in the clannad forum calls me a troll.

Yeah. Ep 1 and 2 are basically introductions on who is Fon-fon, a super saiyajin. Ep 3 well it's overall a character development, Kallian trying to persuade Fon-fon and with insight of the heaven blades. Ep 4 again......character developement overall. Ep 5 they spend half of it on character developement, but finally touches the plot, or what's the beginning of it when Fon-fon finally had the resolution to fight. Ep 6, well as you said, a set up episode, also spent on character developement, but with progression with the plot.

Hopefully in ep 7 we would see Fon-fon kicking ass, and involvement from the rest from his squad. Nina in particular because I want to see her grow as a character and become a kickass leader or commander who doesn't have to be overall strong but tactical like Sumeragi from 00. Of course, some Felli again would be nice.

Dunno, but it's set prior the CSR world like a prequel. Other than 'I can see the bullets' I dont know shit about him lol.

Can't fight on an empty stomach.

2 more days till ep 7. as some poster said Layfon will be using a new weapon called the Adaman Dite, er Adamantium alloy Wolverine type?

Anyway its just crossed my mind that each military arts warriors or soldiers in the CSR world are using different type of styles and weapons depending on their roles (with the exception of Layfon anyway) there are also occupation from each of them:

- Fon-fon: dite weapon(s): sword or wires or any (weapon master). Role(s): shock trooper or reconnaissance or any (frontline multi-role). Known occupation: 17th platoon, janitor, former Heaven Blade.
- Nina: dite weapon(s): dual sword. Role(s): commander and shock trooper. Known occupation: 17th platoon, janitor.
- Felli: dite weapon(s): wands. Role(s): combat intelligence. Known occupation: 17th platoon, former maid cafe specialist.
- Sharnid: dite weapon(s): bolt action rifle or hand guns. Role(s): sniper at long range, at close range unknown. Known occupation: 17th platoon.
- Harley: dite weapon(s): unknown, his skills. Role(s): technician or engineer. Known occupation: 17th platoon..
- Vance: dite weapon(s): great sword. Role(s): commander and shock trooper. Known occupation: Military Chief of Staff.
- red-haired guy: dite weapon(s): sword. Role(s): unknown. Known occupation: unknown.
- silver haired martial artist: dite weapon(s): knuckle gloves. Role(s): shock trooper. Known occupation: Heaven Blade.
- green haired dude: dite weapon(s): wires. Role(s): shock trooper?. Known occupation: Heaven Blade.

Have you forgotten our beloved Felli-sempai works at a Maid Cafe? Felli fans would be outrage for your forgetfulness.

Just marathoned episodes 3 to 6; while I still don't think much of the show nor some of the prominent characters (Felli, and, to a certain degree, Layfon), it's surprisingly addicting. And, yeah, ok, I want to see more of Nina. I thought her jealousy and insecurities make her more interesting. Felli, on the other hand, is getting annoying; part of the reason might be with her voice actress (too unnnatural for my taste), along with her stereotypical tsundere persona.

I'm was trying hard on finding the correct terms for Sharnid's gun-fu style and this practically nails it lol.

I can somehow understand the annoying part and well nobody's perfect and her moeblob attitude basically covers her faults....okay I was being biased. But a tsundere?
