Spoiler for Episode 11:

I missed a bit of the stream, but to be honest, I'm just as empty as the last few episodes. In spite of this, I find out that Kugel is alive, albeit his appearance slightly changed and his live conversation with Ledo was nice. Rackage is finally making her own comeback (her pose after releasing from her Yunboro is fluidly awesome), too bad the sect are threatening Pinion and Flange. It is not until the end that the moment Ledo pilots Chamber, he finds out that Amy is going on a trip to find him. Do they finally re-encounter together, or just to find out that one of them gets killed off? The timeslot also gets delayed two hours earlier next week, so of course I'll be ready for it!

Spoiler for Amy:

Amy is going on a trip to find him?
I think it was just a preview of Gargantia, as an objective of their attack. Amy was just flying over it.

It's either a sign of his paranoia or the AI is falsifying his image. I would question how he would be able to get enough food in the MC. Suspicious ...

Indeed. Shouldn't he be anxious to at least greet his subordinate in person?

[Moeterum]

NO!!

Not the Pirate Queen! NOT the Pirate Queen!

Why is she back? WHY?! I just hate her so much.

Yea, the possibility is high that he is already dead and the AI grew too smart and took over.
Anyways looks like it's going to be two tin cans fighting it out, no way Ledo is going to any harm come to Amy and her crew.

[Entravity]

So Rakkage is back as some have said.

I think Chamber is right about Kugel staying in his cockpit, but who really knows? It'll be really interesting to see how Ledo reacts to all of this though.

[Funkatron]

Crap: Ledo's commander wants to push the philosophies of the GA on the humans on Earth and apparently, the GA quite literally has a different definition of 'happiness' than the fleets do. This won't end well...

Edit: and I finished the episode: Crap x2. Kugel has plans of bringing 'awareness' to Gargantia. Won't. End. Well.

[Gravitas Free Zone]

Spoiler for Current ep.:

Lukkage is obviously scheming something, but I had briefly considered if she was actually the one running everything... that turned out to be improbable, so I'm back to waiting to see what her scheme turns out to be. Presumably Kugel was smart enough to not tell everyone that he can't go outside. (Assuming he's alive in there.)

The Heart of Darkness turn was predictable. It's interesting that the regular folk that aren't getting as much food seem a lot less droneish than the robed fellows... with the exception of the female officer-type.

Confirmation from Kugel that "We knew about the Hideauze the whole time, but you were better off not knowing." Ledo's nonreaction was peculiar, considering how he spent the previous episode in a not-entirely-resolved funk.

I see Flange and Pinion having a fight fairly soon, the question being whether Pinion has a "What have I done" moment or not.

Well apparently he's contracted a disease, that's why he can't get out of the cockpit. But Chamber deduced that Kugel chose to stay behind the veil in order to induce fear and authority over the fleet.

Interesting that Rackage seemed a bit mellow. I wonder what she's got up her sleeve....

Pinion had some moments of disconcerting off-modelness, but Lukkage's mouth also seemed to be moving independently of the rest of her face in a couple of scenes.

[ookamigirl]

Ledo - Commander reunion.
Pinion really is an idiot sometimes.
Looks like Commander got himself a nice cult.
Things are about to change for the worse.
The next two episodes should be very interesting.

[Funkatron]

Gah, Ledo is somewhat regressing. After the mind screw of the Hideauze, he's falling back on the closest stable thing in his mind: command. What happens in the next two episodes depends on him: will he blindly stay with Kugel despite his doubts or will he break away and forge his own path with what he's learned? Despite the missteps of this series, the next two eps will be interesting indeed

[mikeomni]

Kugel has a "virus" huh? Anyone else feel the Big Brother when Pinion was being subjected to testing like a monkey? Somehow, Ledo was too eager to fall back on following someone else's command when he showed so much initiative in the first episode.

He's eager because its a stability he's known before. It won't last, at least I don't think he will.
