Thread should be titled "Episode 14 Discussion / Poll".

Looking forward to this.

[Kurohane]

Not really, the trailers and commercials all listed this as season 2, despite whatever site we decide to watch online has it listed as episode 14.

[Renegade334]

Well,

Spoiler for ep.02:

I missed the first part, but ep.02 had the M77 crew attempt reentry (to note: two other pilots did the bodyswap bite thing on foreign customs officers, in order to fool the security detachment guarding the reentry tunnel).

Second half was Akira and Satomi-centric, with an insight on why she became such a recluse and why her brother's such a wimp.

The episode ends with the M77 crew being forced (after a Dorssia ambush compromised the reentry procedure) to move away from the official reentry trajectory (think of it as an intangible tube marked by beacon-like, luminous rings)...and finding themselves stranded in the middle of Dorssia territory.

While stuff happened, less happened then I would have liked ..

Good episode

Spoiler:

Missed the first few minutes.

Marie finds out about Haruto's healing factor. Akira and Marie have a chat. We found out more about Satomi and Akira's past. Ardor grip was on display. Kreim was tailing H-Neun, but he knew.

And last but not least, the gang lands in Dorssian territory. Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

And going by next week's preview Marie is gonna confront Haruto about his secret.

[erika4dsl]

That was a nice Akira and Satomi episode.
Wow and now I'm actually interested in Marie's character.

[II Maestro]

Nice episode~! Akira in a box! Marie & Akira interaction is good. Looks like Marie saw how Haruto had his injury instantly healed.

[Shinhwa]

Awesome episode. ED was awesome too. So it seems Marie has an amnesia o.o;;

Spoiler for Episode 14:

I really liked the episode. It really made me care about Akira and Satomi and how they both have a dark past. I'm happy to see Marie getting more screentime, she's the one that will help Haruto doing something to reach Earth to save Akira and she will appear even more so in the next episode. We even find out the truth behind Akira's bullying and I'm impressed how she was such an amazing programmer at young age. The cliffhanger made me excited, I want to see L-Elf interacting with Liselotte for the first time since childhood. Seems like it gets much better than I thought.

[Shinhwa]

Can't wait for more

[DevilHighDxD]

I love the metal gear solid and sunrise reference in this episode. But overall I really don't cared much about Akira, I need more Saki and Saki only. Still Satomi is one shitty brother, letting Akira get bully like that.

Landed in Dorrsian's territory, we'll probably see Saki x Cain confrontation soon. Marie find out about Haruto's healing ability, if anything Shoko will probably know everything through her. L-elf is melting his ice-cold king status sooner than I though.

I thought the same thing when Satomi didn't do anything to help her even though what she did was for him.

I would also like more Saki and if she is in trouble Haruto better save her.

[Shinhwa]

As seen before, I guess Satomi was more of a coward than I thought =_=

[Fjoergyn]

I loved Akira in this chapter, we know the reason for his imprisonment and Satomi is an idiot. Marie had more action and earns its place in history.

I beg to differ when you say L-Elf is more docile, for me is still very cold. The next chapter will be exciting with L-Elf and his old friends

[Gundamx]

So Marie don't have any memory huh?
(When did she lost it? before or after the war?)

it look like they want to end Akira story fast so she can talk with other members without trouble

I agree, he's just as cold and calculating as ever. He just knows what they said is true. He needs the Valraves, and the more the better. Not to mention they did come up with an alternative plan even if it ended up putting them off course so it's not exactly like he had a whole lot of reason not to give in.

Also, I'm glad we're getting more on some of the other characters. Marie not having memories of her past is particularly interesting, and I'm glad Akira and Satomi were able to resolve their issues. I'd also forgotten that outside of the pilots themselves and E-Elf that no one else knows about their healing properties.

Also does anyone have a gif of shirtless Raizo? I need it for uh....reasons.

[kuromitsu]

AWWW YEESSSS finally some focus on the Renboukouji siblings! It was awesome. My love for Satomi has been rekindled. Awwwww. The way he basically pushed the big red button labeled "do not push." The flashback and the reason why Akira became a hikikomori and Satomi such a pushover. The whole thing at the end with him and Akira reaching out for each other, so delicious. (The entire second half I kept worrying that Satomi may die, but it seems he'll survive at least until the next episode.) And more Snotrave action!

That shirtless Raizo scene reminded me of this
