Yeah I was like "Just punch her, she needs it!" the whole conversation.

Your people are dead or being trampled under foot there's no room for goody goody pacifism here.

(Glad some people found it funny, the princess's humor totally didnt work on me)

Somehow I get the feeling that there won't be a season 2.

Well far be it from me to denegade being a rebel for rebel sake, but it could be argued that her accepting the terms of peace and willingly becoming the Carlos's wife, she could do more for her people than leading them in a potentially (from what she knew then) USELESS and bloody rebellion that will just ensure imposition of even harsher retaliations on her peiple.

This is really only good move if there is reason they could actually win in the end.

I don't think there's enough source material for a S2.
Vols 6-7 is a new ongoing story arc that still isn't over yet.
Plus the novel's focus on mecha engineering and building makes the series pretty niche by otaku standards.

You're assuming that she would be alive long enough after the wedding to ensure that her country is safe. She could have been poisoned later after all the official business for turning over the country to Carlos occurred. Given what was done to her off camera (drugged, held hostage), she should have left when the option occurred.

The latest twist to the opening was a nice throwback to older mech animes (showing us some key drama moments before hitting the high point of the song) not enough usage of sound effects though admittedly what little they placed was distracting overall.

The show is still a total treat but I really wish the pacing would slow down a bit. That battle against the ant queen a couple of eps back as well as the major R&D shakeups (in a series that really prides itself in such) felt rushed/too short.

Would have also loved to many of the stuff ReddyRedWolf mentioned animated.

That scientist can't be from that world, right? The airships advancements from just stealing one of Ernie's old prototypes is way to much of a tech jump.

Finally, lol @Zaloudek's super robot anime villain inspired homeland.

It's not pacifism, it's low self-esteem. She thinks she's a terrible leader (which she is) and that she can't do anything on the outside except get people killed (which isn't entirely true - she really just needs to be there and smile, maybe sign whatever her aunt tells her to). As far as princesses go, she's a terrible role model for little girls, but it's not like she's the only female on this show. Or, uh, like little girls are the target audience.

No. The airships have nothing to do with Eru. They are an entirely native development and fly in different manner to Ikaruga.
And they make as much sense as Eru's tech leaps. Unless you are saying that noone except the protagonist is allowed to be smart.

Is Gojass Tieria Erde on drugs?

And I salute Kid for his patience. Now, you're a knight.

Takahashi Rie (Ernie) and Takumi Yasuaki (Edgar) pilot some real-life mecha!

Ikaruga cockpit design:

That's a LOT of controls compared to the other mecha models.

[Faux Mecha]

seeing that video makes me wonder what happened to Suidobashi Heavy Industry's Kuratas or for an older unit TMSUK's T-52 Enryu rescue mech along with its descendants.

[PreSage]

Although Ernie is depicted as a cute hero, but I keep getting this "kids a cold assassin" vibe during his fights. He doesn't seem to notice or care about the human fighter inside, whether he kills them or not. He just enjoys mech fights. Pretty cold-hearted, in way.

[4th Dimension]

Oh I think that's kinda intentional, or at least obvious.
For him when he is fighting, he isn't fighting other humans that are fighting using robots.. he is fighting robots, and the human is just the wetware that controls the robot..

Funny, I don't ever recall myself ever even hinting at such an assumption so it'd be wise if you refrain from doing the same.

But given what was seen & vaguely explained so far on the show, tech like an airship esp. at that scale goes beyond the scope of imagination the builders of that world have shown to have (until given a little push) thus far hence my question about the Zaloudek scientist.

[4th Dimension]

Well their tech base seems to support them since they don't seem much more than a wood and metal construction floated via magic. So the only thing that was needed was someone getting the idea. God knows there have been PLENTY of people who were in front of their times.
And frankly the probably most ridiculous part of the setting was allways the fact that it seemed litlle to no development was happening mech wise despite a LOT of funding going to it before Ernie. This addresses that somewhat.

In the LN some characters do acknowledge Ernie is scary with his mentality. Like all the wrecked mechs are his payment not the Silver Phoenix Merchants but his alone.

His thinking after all mechs should kill mechs. Wrecked mechs are beautiful too.

Ambrosius was right. Great power like that with such a prodigy was dangerous. Good thing Ernie is at their side.

King Leotamus sent Ernie to ensure his headstrong son the crown prince comes back alive.

Zaloudek's mistake was thinking Fremevilla wouldn't do anything. A country the size of or exceeding the entire Occident/West that doesn't have limitations in manufacturing Silhouette Knights. They attack their citizens and steal their tech now they have the gall to attack those related to the royal family and an ally country?

Ep 11 preview, Hit & Away.

Meanwhile, Vol 8 of the Knights & Magic LN will release this 30 Sept 2017.
This release will break the author's tradition of releasing 1 volume a year.

The anime will cover up to Vol 5 of the LN, and concludes the Zaloudek war arc.
Vol 6-8 is a brand new story arc (if my info is right).

It looks like a Tholian in that screenshot.

Ep 11 at 15:50 the etherite seems to be in penis shape

You noticed it too, huh?
