I'm not sure that Episode 10 will be airing this week:

第9話まででクリアした4つのミッションの分かりやすい解説や、登場したオブジェクトの紹介、さらにはヒミ ツの企画コーナーまで！　MCに花江夏樹さん（クウェンサー＝バーボタージュ役）、石川界人さん（ヘイヴィ ア＝ウィンチェル役）、鈴木絵理さん（ミリンダ＝ブランティーニ役）を迎えてお送りする盛りだくさんの30 分です。お楽しみに。

Basically, it looks like its going to be a special commentary episode with the seiyuus about the first 4 missions. It would explain why there aren't any preview pics out at this time.

[LKK]

^^ Bummer. If the episode doesn't air, we'll close the thread until next week.

[Stark700]

Indeed, no episode this week. It looks like some sort of special commentary/recap instead.

[LKK]

Sad news, but thanks for the confirm. The thread is closed until next week.

Edit: Let's try this again, shall we? Thread unlocked.

[Kenju of the Right]

^You know because that post said 'today' and you said ''sad news'', i was scared that we had to wait yet another week

[LKK]

Sorry about that. I merged my last week's and this week's posts together without thinking of the implications.

[Stark700]

Wow....Frolaytia...


Anyways, action should pick up more next week.

[LazyHunter]

Episode 10 had the 37th being deployed to the Iguazu District to fight the Mass Driver Conglomerate, a group who has defected from the Capitalist Corporations. First half was the briefing of the situation in the Charlemagne, an assault landing aircraft carrier with some comedy/ecchi stuff in the middle. The 37th's amphibious assault is threatened by more railgun batteries, but this time the Baby Magnum has a clear line of sight and Milinda quickly blows them and part of the mountains away.

We have another Legitimacy Kingdom unit, the 52nd, being deployed alongside their Object, the Bright Hopper. The Elite is a typical asshole noble and someone Froleytia isn't happy to see.

I prefer the part where Hime did it. Easily the best part of the episode for me.
The duo's scream of agony is exhilarating.

[Chaos2Frozen]

Is this the first time they've continued a plotline across the arcs? So they're chasing the ones behind the Antarctic terrorist incident to the Iguazu region off the coast of Argentina.

On the a character's perspective it looks like they're focusing on the Nobility of the Kingdom and their dirty politics. If Haivia's backstory was a taste of it, Frolaytia's might be a dive into it. Even Hime couldn't escape their troublesome ways.

The amphibious assault was pretty cool and fun to watch. Had a good CoD vibe to it and not one onscreen fodder death lol.

P.S - Anyone want to pick a guess which planes those are based off from?

P.P.S - First Frolaytia plush?

[Heir of the Void]

...They did the thing.

Really, the one anime chicle I hate, above and beyond all others, is the mountain destroying shot. The sheer number of cringes it manages to pack into a few seconds is breathtaking:

The collateral damage: Rarely addressed, but of the material is reduced to large 'chucks' (as opposed to dust) the velocity which which geometry demands that they be evacuated means you have a sort of strategic-scale shotgun. Execpt all the pellets are rocks the size of your head (or car) and are on fire. Hilarously, if the material is vaporized or reduced to dust, its even worse: Dust will cause a sort of nuclear winter effect, like what Krakatoa caused that one time. Vapor is worse locally; picture how hot molten lava is, now consider that it's drinking water; while the vapor is steam, of the choo-choo scalding/disfiguring variety, and you potentially have cubic miles of it.

Also, the coronal effects of the weapon itself would, unless its purely magical in nature, be lethal to a human in the general vicinity, but that's a lot less bad, comparatively.

Then, from an in-universe perspective, this sort of attack should be utterly irresistible and absolutely lethal to anything in the attacker's general weight category; any amount of defense (other than indirect effects like a dimensional barrier or quickened gate spell) is likely to be less durable than a section of rock hundreds of meters in diameter and kilometers deep, and if not, anything with less dramatic collateral effects should be fairly useless.

The only time it's actually not been all that bad was Ramiel in Evangelion; the attack really was that powerful (maybe the most energetic event after Second Impact), and it was that powerful in context.

Other than that, though, great episode, though I thought that Quenser was... weirdly fascinated with the fired chicken, specifically. I also wonder why Fritolaytia ever feels the need to start... pole dancing in the Officer's Club. Context would be great on that, but I'm not entirely sure I want it.

[Chaos2Frozen]

So what you're saying is... Animes should blow up more mountains.

Food cravings.

[ChampDream]

That pole dancing scene came out of nowhere, it was still the best part of the episode. It look like we have a asshole noble incoming, Frolaytia is not happy.

[Izumo]

It's time to kick that noble's ass and this time against the Mass Driver Conglomerate Object, ahhhh the incoming episodes are going to be pure gold.

[FlareKnight]

Thought that annoying noble would be more of a pain for Hime, but rather it's a tough situation for Frolaytia. Clearly that scummy guy is causing her a lot of trouble in her personal life. Some solid contrast from the last episode with Havia and his fiance. One couple trying to be together despite their families not approving and here....probably a case of the families trying to push two people together who don't respect or like each other.

Best of luck to the cast with finding and killing that Object before that guy can intervene. Would also be very enjoyable if Hime can just crush his Object in a mock battle as well .

Frolaytia did some fine pole dancing to be sure, but I do think Hime finished things nicely .

[Chosen_Hero]

So i'm guessing that the enemy Object is using the river to hide and/or mobilize, also that random elderly couple.

[Wandering Soul]

So while they are about to fight a group of defectors, it seems like part of the focus will be on nobility and the politics between them. Hime and Frolaytia seem to have been pulled into their antics and they certainly aren't happy about it.

Hime's attmept at pole dancing was a nice follow up to what Frolaytia.

[Faux Mecha]

dat pole dancing, considering Frolaytia manages to somehow broke that pipe after the Princess tries to attempt the same thing on the same pipe, somebody might try to make fun of her body weight.

Why is Frolaytia so perfect?
