I don't think that's necessarily the case. There may be things that people find morally wrong in any show, but that doesn't mean people can't still enjoy the show. It's like real life. There are plenty of things that people can find morally wrong, but that doesn't mean we should all end our lives or discard our senses of morality.

So season two will end up being a fanboy war again? Jeez at least notice your own goggles before calling people out on their values.

[Irenesharda]

On a separate note, I'm glad that Harklight finally got a well deserved promotion, and got Marylcian's kat.

Also, it seems that from what I've been hearing around. Darzana's entire line about "giving up", which kind of didn't make any sense when you read it out, was a huge mistranslation, and that actually what she was saying was that the higher-ups are hugely underestimating the Martians.

Another mistranslation was when Slaine said "Tragedies do happen", when what he really said was "that it all frightens me." Yes, vastly different, I know. What's up with these translators? They are given one job!

[Top Sergeant]

YES! Second week in a row that Inaho was not the main man in the fight against the Martians. Last week the Captain was the key to taking down the Kataphract, and this week Lt. Marito was calling the shots and doing a damn fine job.

Spoiler:

El Dorito may be the key to Asseylum's survival. Her loyalty is first and foremost to Asseylum, and if she comes to believe Asseylum is in danger from Slaine she will likely contact Inaho.

I do think that El Dorito's life is definitely in danger as well as Asseylum's. And will Asseylum's sister also be disposed of? What will Lemuria do when she finds out Slaine has lied to her about Asseylum's recovery? Remember she already has lived through those in power using her for her Activation Code, and when she finds out what Slaine is up to she is going to feel not only betrayed, but used once again. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if either Lemuria or El Dorito kills Slaine in the end.

If Slaine wants to know what a douchebag looks like, he just needs to look at his own reflection. Boy did Yuki ever call that right!

Meh, had Inaho led the charge that first Martian's Kat will already be destroyed before the second came. Bunch of Terran scrubs.

In Darzana's case, one could still guess it but Slain was a surprise to me. One job indeed

so much things happen in this episode, it look like Slaine finally make the Vers to work together, but he is now in a really hard spot with the 2 princess. Wonder how earth is going to get out of this one?

Never mind that, how we going to find out if Slaine is really the true villian?

He mad!

[FlareKnight]

It feels so normal that the leadership of earth no matter the series are always morons. They've been getting punched in the teeth since this 'war' began, but they are still cocky enough to limit the actions of Inaho and company. The only hope they possibly have of not being annihilated and they are leaving them in reserve for stupid reasons. This would be like saying "the other side has guns....let's just keep rushing them with swords, that'll work."

Unfortunately the other side has now decided to stop being stupid and work in groups. You can take down those super units when they are isolated with the right plan. But it's a whole lot more complicated with groups. Since you have to be able to mix up the plans.

And of course they go with amnesia. Be too hard to just have her wake up and then deal with the aftermath of that. Now they can have Asseylum not do anything until the story wants her to.\

Not sure why Slaine felt he had to lie to the other princess and now put himself in a weaker position. He's just creating another problem that can blow up in his face.

Have to laugh at Yuki being pissed off at Slaine. I feel quite sorry for Lemrina, because she knows she's being used but still holding onto the hope that she can be with Slaine, even as just a consolation prize. Despite her jealousy towards Asseylum, she still loves her. Sad stuff.

Bet the higher ups are kicking themselves for not taking the announcement seriously, and, what everyone's been wanting to happen finally happened; the Martians have gone for a group attack. Inaho and co., by all rights, are looking pretty screwed right now. Can only see the Martians losing this if they're badly coordinated/catch each other in the crossfire/one or more of the Kat's better suited in space, weakening the team (but really, they should at least know what their suits are/aren't capable of in different environments). The Herschel alone'll be a nightmare to deal with.

Seriously, I wonder if Slaine needs to start with killing kittens if you still don't know that by now.

He need's to actually ordering his troops to kill civillians and then I will be convinced.

I'm curious how many people have actually survived this mass attack on Earth? There might not be many civilians left for him to order his troops to kill.

martians rained meteors on a city in ep 4 if i remember right, though it was not slaine at that time i'm sure some kitten might have died T_T

Honestly, I'm still pretty concerned about Barouhcruz. This guy was pissed off last episode at Marylcian death, and now suddenly he's all okay with it, and even swearing loyalty and telling Mazuurek to do the same? Something doesn't seem right here.

Even Mazuurek is confused since he brings up that Barouhcruz and Marylcian were talking all about Slaine having killed Saazbaum and being up in arms about it, and now suddenly he gets back, and now Barohcruz says to just forget about it?

Something fishy is going on here...

Obviously not enough if the UFE command is just like, "Whatever, those Martians are all huff and puff, no need to worry about them".

That was Saazbaum who was trying to kill Rayet. And no, Slaine was still a servant/slave at that point, under Cruhteo.

So that he is doing everything to make this war continue, therefore being responsible for the death of civillians, and that he is using and betraying people around him is not enough.

[Ryuga]

Barouhcruz knows something's up, for sure. He also knows it's best to ally up with Slaine for now and bide his time/go with the winning team and suck it up.
