Too bad Natashia's past wasn't further detailed, it seemed really interesting. It makes me want to know what the other Argos pilots went though too.
Cui being all serious business in contrast to the rest of the episode made it look rather silly. But hey, everyone has their own battles to fight. I have this sinking feeling the Soviets are going to try to kill off Yuuya in some kind of 'accident' in order to be the catalyst for the Scarlet Twins to go off on some emotional rage, or something. Well next episode will probably be more serious than this one... *listens to next ep preview*.... or maybe not. |

I just watched the episode and can't understand where this "Cryska is leading the race" thing is comming from. I didn't see anything at all that can make this assumtion valid. No romantic teansion or blushing at all. Just a guy talking with a girl he gets along with. Or am i just not seeing the flags?
At the moment i'm a little disappointed of this Show. Maybe I drop it till it is finnished and watch it later in one go. |

I really don't belive she is ahead, but i do belive she won alot of potential on these few eps she was active, against Yui. Yui is still my first choice. C'mon girl! Quote:
Although in this episode... Yuuya's eyes went haywire while talking to Cryska.

My point was that i don't saw anything romance related at all between them. At least, nothing that goes deeper then friends have for example. We are at ep 18 now and there is just nothing going on between them that goes beyond that. That is why i was so irritated from comments like "leading the reace", when she was in truth not even participating. How i see it there will not be more than that between them. Well whatever. This was the last episode for me for now. Hope this show gets better and it doesn't focus too much on pointless lovetriangels where the outcome is clear anyway. I just want a good story, thats all. |

Well to be fair, I can definitely relate to Yuuya since he's a fellow compatriot, a military man, a mutt, and a bit brash and likes drinking. All of the above. Just without his naivety.
Talking to a hot girl = she's falling for you is a bit too raw and realistic don't you think? lol Some people might take a offense to that. On topic, I think just because there wasn't any blushing doesn't mean it wasn't a meaningful conversation. It's just a little subtle, but their both kind of clueless about the moment. Off topic, it makes sense to find a girl you can mesh with. It makes life easier when you can both agree on things. lol

The reason people see this as Cryska winning is because Yuuya's a HAREM MC actually CHOOSING a girl to talk personal with, that's a pretty big deal considering how dense a harem MC can be. In a normal situation, being a called a very good friend is considered being friendzoned. This is also probably why Dauerlutscher doesn't see anything cause that might be what it looks like to him. But in harem stories and VNs (Which this was an EROTIC VN btw), usually winning the heart of the guy REQUIRES you to become that very close friend figure, a main reason Childhoodfriends always seem to be the victor. The more comfortable you are with him, or he is with YOU I should say, the better chance you have. When you see the typical "Oh my god its a girl who touched me" reaction, that means you still have a ways to go.

Yui is slowly changing and opening up. Cui in fact gave her a much needed push and this will greatly help Yui understand Yuuya and be true to how she feels about him. |

Actually, it started as a one-shot before becoming a full-fledged story, with a VN in development alongside that was left in hiatus until the series started. And it SHOWS. Unlike Alternative where the arcs feels connected and contributes to the
I think this is what Klashikari meant, in twitter or this topic, when he said that it seems to him that Total Eclipse suffers from an identity crisis. Yuuya is the least Harem MC-ish of MCs written by Kouki. Yet he is at the center of a love triangle between Yui and the Twins. And yet, again, the author threw Cui in... For whatever reason... It's just that Cui was thrown in here and hardly bring a dynamic to a triangle that already been established. Yuuya is not exactly dense by virtue that he is the leader of a harem. He is just a poor guy who does not belong to this genre. He is more at home if Total Eclipse stays Top Gun + Macross Plus + BETAs. He is a test pilot because he really believes that his work will save people's lives on the frontline and his acts shows that he really doesn't have the luxury for acting like a schoolboy.

as for cui, i also think that she is giving hints to yui...that if she really loves yuuya, she should accept him for who he is...and that includes accepting his not so good past...once she learned of this, she'll be ready... so very nice of cui really...
