Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

As for the battles in this episode, for an anime with limited budget & resources, they actually got their animation priorities right. They did the boring fortress charge using still frames while they poured their animation resources for the aerial battle which is much more exciting to watch. Good stuff.

Even though tactics are not detailed, I still enjoy this episode. Don't know how Soma will deal with the army who have waited until dawn there but we'll see.
I've seen people thinking it was a Space Battleship Yamato reference. All it's missing is a Wave Motion Gun .
