I imagine some people might be turned off by apparent fanservice again.

But hey, if one thinks that belly dancing is more fanservice than sociocultural then...

Better than Magi's

Ok....now the question is..since the hideauze has begin attack...WHO is gonna die ? In what manner? Who gonna fall into despair first...muahahaha

You know....there's going to be plenty of gifs made from this episode, if you know what I mean :heh:

Are we even sure that thing at the end was a hideauze? It could be a fake-out, Chamber was only 99.97% sure after all.

Just by looking at the Gifs its way more than apparent.

Hopefully it is actually a well written episode this time.

Solo dance for Ledo scene
Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread)

コレハセツクス？

Oh wow, it took 6 episodes for Ledo to become sexually attracted to Amy.

Yeah, I doubt it's a hideauze. Maybe it's just a mutated squid.

If it makes you feel any better, the dancing only makes up about 2 minutes of the total airtime. And the dancing bit with Amy in the end was actually handled really well and classy :)

Oh and no tranny jokes, so this episode is already better than last weeks.

I watched the Amy dance scene that someone posted. You are right it was well done.

If the other more fanservicey scene is only 2 mins I guess I can live.

Man, those last two minutes made my heart jump, especially when Ledo pushed Bellow's yunboro out of the way. Way to ramp up the tension, now we have to wait another week.

So it seems that Urobuchi is at it again this episode, even in a limited capacity :heh:.

Also, Amy’s classy belly dancing reminds me of the similar belly dancing scene in From Russia with Love.

You're thinking Live and Let Die.

Phenomenon that Ledo often sees on Earth at night

and a creature that appear at the end...

See the connection??

If that thing is really a hideauze, its origin may not be so far away....

Nope. The belly dancer in From Russia with Love is more impressive imo, and Amy’s belly dancing reminds me of that. That said, have you actually watched From Russia with Love?

Yep it's his time already :heh:
Also end card by Tsuji Santa!

Perhaps there might be a connection between the leftover nanomachines in Earth's ocean and the odd mollusks they've got, but even if Chamber says the giant squid-thing at the end is a Hideauze, it still could just be a weird giant squid. Ledo's paranoid about ika and tako is bad enough already.

Having the dancing mixed in with the Ledo/Pinion/Bellows discussion made the dancing fall into the gratuitious fanservice category (Cultural significance? Suggestive dancing!), but the part at the end wasn't too bad... probably because it was less obviously suggestive dancing. And there wasn't a roomful of cheering guys.

No mentions from Chamber about any power consumption concerns, despite some moderate force field usage, and now we know that the Machine Caliber has no problem operating underwater.
