She's a civilian. A celebrity civilian at that. She's not allowed to salute and it's insulting that she thinks she can.

SEND HER TO THE GALLOWS!

Indeed. I cut her a little slack on that one, but since someone is pushing for it, I shall give in!

1) Her salute form is incorrect - no crooked wrists allowed!
2) Left-hand salute - you salute with your right hand!
3) Civilian status - only active duty soldiers/airmen/marines/sailors in uniform allowed!

3 strikes...you're out!

SUCH BLASPHEMY! THE GALLOWS PLEASE!!!

[Westlo]

Grace is up to something and that voice commanding Brera sounds a little familiar... looks like Sheryl's going to lose her manager one way or another before this series is over.

Spoiler for details of the scene:

It's a documentary. Civilian celebrities act as they are instructed to during filming, no?

Shouldn't you be complaining to the producer, or the three SMS members standing by watching?

[Deathkillz]

Spoiler:

Thats it! I'm shipping for Klan and michael

Seriously though, I think with this ep, I going to see Klan in a different light. She may be a giant, but she does have feelings ;___;

Curse you Michael.

Good news is that the animation didn't suffer as much as previously.

[SymphonicRain]

I must say it was an intensed episode as well as one that allows us to see a different perspective of Klan and Michel's other dimension. A different turn compared to the previous episodes.

Spoiler:

I was amused at the scene when Klan bitch slapped Michel's Battloid as well as when the VF performing a series of human-like gestures in the convo between Klan and Michel.

The VF-27 is obviously toying with Klan. There were several opportunities it could deliver a death blow to Klan, especially one scene where he held the rifle at point blank range for a full second before it got parried away by Klan. He only finally got serious when Klan almost dealt a bullseye with her cannon.

So I assume he was simply analysing the SMS's combat capability as a secondary objective while his primary was to destroy the ship.

I must say the scene where Michel was pressured to fire the gun with Alto struggling with the VF-27 PLUS an injured Klan floating in the middle as an obstacle was a stressful scene and event for me to watch. Its been a while I experienced this kind of feeling in an anime.

[Inquisidor]

The voice commanding Brera, sounds like a third voice for Kuwashima Houko.

[Tak]

The Quran vs. VF-27 duel:

Well, Quran is too direct. She relies on reflexes too much, while Alto here seems to think out of the box, very quickly out of the box, at that.

Hey, he did take out Mr. Kira Yamato's legs. Kudos to Alto there.

[Prongs]

Wait For Subs on *******.com heheheheheheh

[Lugia_Tsuyu]

It's still hard for me to tell if Brera is good or bad. =_=''

Spoiler for He's mysterious character:

He fought with Klan and Alto, but he destroyed the Alien's base or whatever they were in << yes I forgot how to call those guys.

Spoiler for Ranka x Brera possibility:

Ranka seems to be really interested in Brera. And he appeared before her like two times already (Was he stalking her!? O_O) Yes, Alto, you go with Sheryl, and leave Ranka for Brera! (At least I wish that would happen.)

[Cadorna]

I think the teory of the rival company, takes more credibility, they know about the eggs (Varja' s egg?)and they dispatch VF-27 to get the sample

[Kaoru Chujo]

What a pleasure to hear so much from Toyoguchi Megumi (Kuran Klan). Isn't she great? Kamiya Hiroshi (Mikhail, Zetsubou Sensei) does the job, too.

But this week very little of either Ranka or Sheryl. Except that rather dramatic exercise session.

for number 3, the youth/Young Pionner organization in Commies country (USSR, China, Cuba, Vietnam, etc ) salute too (for 30 seconds before the national anthem)

Spoiler for Issues with saluting:

I'm not sure, but it may be okay so long as she's not actually saluting a member of the military.

[Key Board]

Leon works for Weyland-Yutani

but don't tell anyone about that!

[KiNA]

Btw, the stream last night wasnt that good.. it seems macross got some attention and the server lag a bit.

Is that green panty thief multiplying? I swear I saw one hatched from those eggs.

[jonli]

I thought that was some Vajra specimen that they wanted to secure, but failed. The panty theif should be a Zolan critter.

Spoiler for KLAN!KLAN!:

Aw, Klan was so cute this episode. I felt sorry for her when Michel made fun of her miclone body. It must be pretty harsh for her, she's got the hot sexy body of a giant, but a pathetic loli of a miclone. She probably cant even sleep with Michel properly (if they ever get together).
It was cute to see her hide behind the tree at the end too, but her hair was too freaking wide and she didnt even notice.

I've seen it happen before, and it looked so weird and WRONG. But since it was for an awards ceremony, most of the soldiers just took it in stride when the saluting civilian presented the awards/medals to them in person.

I've seen so many Japanese idols/models/cosplayers do their "salutes" in an effort, in my opinion, to look cute. And sigh...I've grown to accept it, but strongly disapprove.

@Mgz: I express my views using my knowledge of the U.S. military, so yeah, if you say they do that in commie-country, then I'll take your word for it!

Spoiler for Back to Ep9:

Anyways, back to the topic of ep 9, I finally watched a raw of it, and must say that yes, Klan is one hot gal! Mikhail and she look great together.

Brera puzzles me, however. Whose side is he on? Was he actually fighting the SMS soldiers or was he toying around with them in an effort to test them? It's clear that when he knew he was outnumbered after Mikhail's shot, he still retreated and blew up that piece of space wreckage that had Vajira eggs in it.

One thing's for sure...he's on his OWN side, and as someone said earlier, may be in some rival company competing with SMS.

What about Grace? Something tells me that woman is up to no good. And who knows? She might be in league with Leon...
