She may appear to be a bit naive, but with the highly advanced suit she was never in any real danger so far. Unlike most airhead, she never did stuff withtout thinking of the consequences. In all cases she always try to achieve peaceful solutions so as to not endanger her diplomatic mission, and she's still doing her job as a scout in researching earth's culture. If she appear to be happy go lucky, it's just because she find joy in doing her job (and what I wouldn't give to be able to do the same...). In fact, this is why I like Eris so much; she has most good traits of an airhead but at the same time she's still competent and responsible.

You know, right about now I'd compare her to Amagami's Kaoru-chan. Kaoru is in the middle of a "she's a tsundere" "no she's not" kind of talk going on now, but I view her simply like how I view Eris: a really fun person. I would have expected everyone to have looked up the real meaning behind "airhead", but since I'm not the type to post links to online sources (I prefer offline sources), I'll just go and say this: Eris possesses intelligence, and she uses it, and uses it well enough to discredit all labelings of "airhead".

Yeah I know, I hate coincidence, ja?

The doctor asks her if she has made up her mind regarding Kio, and it seems she has. Eris has already chosen Kio to be her mate, so I would assume that Catians are free to choose their partners.

Yeah sure she made up her mind... about pretty much the only male around her age she's ever been in contact with. Seriously, Kio doesn't even have a male friend around his age, and as far as we can tell his neighborhood is free of these types. Now I doubt they ran medical tests to see if he is suitable, and I highly doubt Eris did some of her own method of determining whether or not he is perfect for her desires, but put simply, I take it as he's there, she has a good catch at her first try, so she'll go with that and she went for it. If they decide to get serious and go something like the route of "he's got something special about him" then ok, it's not so simple.

But as plain as day, it's looking perfect in regards to right place right time. Now if Eris scoped out some other suitable guys, then that's something there.

Girls always want a male helping hand around during shopping, apparently.

Now if they don't even have that as an option, or don't plan on choosing anyone at all, they can always settle for the 'artificial' way... whatever that means.

Hmm, there's actually a bit more info in the manga about Cattian's sexual behavior that seems to be missing from the anime, so I'll try to watch what I'm saying in order to avoid spoilers. In any case, although it seems that Kio is chosen because he's just a guy in the right time and place, from Eris' reply to Durer it seems clear that she wants it to be Kio and not, for example, uncle as her partner.

Simply put, Eris actually likes Kio, and for a good reason in my opinion. She was in a foreign planet on her own, and although she's intruding without any sort of compensation he's willing to give her a roof, feeds her delicious local cuisines, and always helping and guiding her in her job to study Earth's culture. He even goes out of his way and put himself in danger in order to save a stranger he just met a few days ago.

Yes, Kio is extremely lucky that his family met her as he doesn't seem to be anything special, but from a harem lead that's what we should anyway, at least he treats her nicely and doesn't flub the opportunity.

I guess Kio is a sort of guide for Eris about Earth's culture at this point...what's more, they went to Nakano Broadway which seems to has a lot of otaku stuff, and Kio seems to be the only one nearby that has the most knowledge in it. Or, because he's the main male lead and needs to be in the plot.

Seriously, I don't think she's an airhead. Might I go through this again? Yes, I will. See, she's a fun person. Check. A very bright person. Check. Usually smiling, rarely crying [so far]. Check. Alien. Check. Just visitin'. Check.

She so far has not made the same mistake twice (Airhead). She so far has not done something utterly stupid that had grave consequences (Airhead). She didn't not reflect on her misunderstandings, so I think classifying her in the airhead ranks is quite a stretch there.

Yes, I'm being rather irritated by the stereotyping of airheads these days. Yes, it wasn't like this what, 5 years ago. And yes, we had a HELL OF A LOT of airheads in anime those days and earlier.

I will just say that she was like that when she was drunk but the example he showed is bad.....the girl is Airhead without any substance whatsoever.

I'd say the true reason behind her choice is either:
(1) Wanted to grab the rare chance of seeing Kuune, the top commander and her superior, getting all embarrassed , or
(2) Realized that Japanese males have a hidden swimsuit fetish that they can take advantage of.

By showing Kio's porn collection she can easily shift the responsibility and pretend to be an airhead, non-pretentious character.


I think the cult members are possessed with otaku spirits instead.


If they were hardcore enough they could easily press the button and turn the earth into history. But of course they are not going to do that.

The swim suits are actually a case of fridge brilliance, the Jap negotiators are so shocked by the outfit that they can't think properly. Manami has also observed in the manga that Eris is more observant than she seems. She is after all, some one tasked with first contact. And her actions/reactions with the locals can change the course for entire civilizations.

Yeah I would agree with this or maybe just the effects it has.

Well the reason and logic is good. It might be a good way to see how males react sexually so they can mate with them. Nice one there.

Now where is Independance day when you need one......maybe we can stop them by inducing gases of catnip...

First thing is....thanks for the support in encouraging whenever you like my posts. I appreciate that. For your answer.....well I think like someone said it's to relieve the urge more naturally instead of crossbreeding......that might come after she likes the intercourse else she would mention already or hinted it at.

Yeah that would be amazing but I am more curious as to what that electronic assistroid can do.....I wonder about that one.

Well the common definition of airhead is someone who lacks intelligence, and since she has that, she's pretty safe from the airhead zone.

You know what I'm wondering about Eris, I'm thinking about whether or not she took the Dogs seriously, or if her report about them is being acted on, supposing she did report them. She was in plenty serious mode when she was talking to the Dog dude, but then so far now it's like that didn't happen. Life goes on. What's for dinner? Perhaps she's planning something... or maybe mating comes first, that seems very important

Perhaps it's because I'm a gullible, unsuspecting optimist, but I really do feel that Eris' motives is genuine. That is, she really want to explore and study a new culture without any secret agenda like invasion or something. The swimsuit thing may show that she's willing to do something out of the ordinary to achieve that goal, but it's not like she will do anything she know is illegal. It's just that she's really enjoying her job with all its perks, but when things get serious and got in her way, we can see her actually rising up to the challenge and got serious. We can see this in two different ways, use of force in life-threatening situation against the army and against a known enemy (the dogs), and use of diplomacy with the 'weird but still human beings' with the Beautiful Contact to avoid an incident. As for mating...well, it's not like you can't date/marry in real life while having a job in real life too, right?

[Tri-ring]

Look although I am not a member of "Beautiful Contact", you really can't take the Catians seriously when their first contact message is "We're coming over to play(遊びに行くヨ!)".

Say, wasn't she supposed to hang around for a week only? Or was that before the ship came down from the heavens...

Thinking about it, perhaps that will be the core of this series: as Eris goes about her daily explorations, there will be group after group going for her head, and then take care of said group, and then just another day in the life of Eris. Sounds just about right for 12 episodes. All the while Earth see's she's not so hostile and she'll complete her mission. Hmm, I wonder if departure after mating is required. Maybe mating will give her a good excuse to stay on earth

Hmm, we've come to play, we've come to eat, we've come to negotiate, we've come to mate, they sure like letting you know ahead of time what lies ahead

Despite being generally an optimist, I'm not that much of a romantic to believe that there's definitely a true love waiting for or that stuff. That is, Kio is indeed as generic as most other harem leads and if Eris look at other guys around it's likely she'll find someone better, but circumstances only allow Kio to be at the perfect time and place and despite not being perfect she's not really that bad, so she chose him. Not perfect, but not all that bad or uncommon in real life.

There's actually a bit of info about this in the manga, but I think the anime skipped it or something...if you don't mind I can PM you this later, I need to get home (and I got the manga at home as well).

The problem here is that Eris did not SEE a dog alien. She only smelled a scent. This is not sufficient proof for diplomatic or military actions, especially since her captors did not confirm or deny anything. So for now they will start diplomatic relations and set up an embassy, while looking for proof of the Dog People's presence. They need a smoking gun, so to speak.

Formal diplomatic negotiations occurred ahead of schedule, and Eris was given the official duty of running the Embassy. You can tell because in ep 4, when she left for a mission in Tokyo the other junior officer had to take her place in watching the house when everyone else went out. The silver catgirl also mentioned how she would like to stay on land more often instead of living on the mothership.

[technomo12]

i would prefer they would say "we've come to find a mate" hehehe man im sure many boys will offer themselves

[Nukerjsr]

This show is really filled with more and more surprises, that's all I can really say. Oddly enough, for this kind of series it actually feels more crazy and entertaining when they go into the non-harem type jokes. It makes you constantly ask questions like "Why are they so obsessed?", and "What other factors could come into this situation?"

I kind of hope they focus on that, mostly because when we get focus on just the Catian Embassy, we get similar stuff. Minami acts tsundere and Kio acts embarrassed and prudish, etc...

Oh man Japan's sub culture is so potent in polluting other cultures.
First the western world, next it went to the heavens where it caught on in Beldandy universe when Peorth　took back the forbidden scrolls of knowledge, "Shojo Manga" which now ravages the Megami Otasuke Jimusho control center and now full blown Catian Otakies wanting to go on pilgrimage to Otaku Mecca, Nakano Broadway which started from an innocent bit from the forbidden fruit of "Yakiniku".
I wonder who are the next victims of this forsaken sweet but deadly fruit called "Otaku Bunka".

The cat cult is like the direct opposite of the Hard SciFi First Contact cult. People who don't care for realism and instead demand fantasy.

Of course, the issue is that there is a PLANET full of catgirls, so once again the cultists are being stupid in trying declare a singular Eris as their deity. If they wanted to see her they could have simply made an appointment at the Embassy. Logic and cults don't mix.
