Kid and Addy's big sister was third year middle school when they were first years. After the mech stealing incident she graduated making them second years. The prep time for the mock battle was ten months i guess some overlap with third year middle school. After the mock battle they graduate some months later. It was months later the ex-king asked Ernie for a mech as they made MP version of Tzen and the Lab made the Karadatolle.

Does the Queen know that he's not a 'local'?

i still think Ernie needs to come up with a nuke-scaled weapon to fight effectively against an entire continent-sized swarm of demons along with the Behemoth classes, except said nuke is entirely magic based & does not give out any radiation at all.

Nuke scale weapons may be too much, better to not just have them at all in a sense.

On the other hand I wouldnt mind Ernie making himself a nice floating castle/carrier-ship.

I mean don't all mecha anime have those more or less?

So when you said three years, you meant since the behemoth, not since the founding of the Order or since the mock battle?

Closer to the Telestale was developed by the next arc. Note Ernie spent three months in the village. Time goes fast but he is still a chibi. I fear the Serati shotacon sisters may have cursed him.

As said there are noticeable growth spurts with Edgar and Nora.

Ep 9 preview, Force & Justice.

Airships (not made by Ernie), and the return of Kerhilt!

[felix]

Well damn!

At least now we know Ernie is definitely getting an airship.

[Kurapica]

Everything is moving so fast. I now just want a huge battle with a really threathening enemy.

Episode 9:

The animation was really cool. I have to admit but this series turned out to be way better than i expected. Sure, it's still rushed as hell and some characters still have that "cute" element (typicall from the current LN) i'm not really fan about but the story is really focused on the mechas and the evolution of it's magic and tech with all of the impact said evolution has in the world. One would expect such issues would be in the second plan to favor the usual harem bs and fanservice but surprisingly it's what the anime is all about!
If this had already a finished manga i would definitely read it!

[James Rye]

A bit sad we got so much mechas. I like it more when it got human armies and mechas mixed in it. But then again, the humans got nothing to tear down a mecha with. I mean, that trebuchet with the big stone? What a joke, a sad one. If they had magic cannons or magic rocket launchers, or mines or grenades, that would be a different talk but so they don't even have real artillery; they need mechas for that too.

Still great fights, albeit fast ones. Each episode feels like three put in one. I kinda wanna see the one who invented those flying ships, that guy or girl must be a genius similar to Ernie.

The trebuchet was a pathetic attempt at trying to damage a mech. I wasn't expecting such a thing...

But it's an interestng development, vaguely foreshadowed when the "new" mechs made by Ernie were stolen.
I guess Zaloudek spent all this time studying the new technology, learned how to apply it, made a test prototype, and finally the mass-produced Tyranto.

...meanwhile, what did Ernie do? Man, they're in for quite a surprise

[IceHism]

Looks like ernesti will either make some airships of his own or something to counter the flying ones. I wonder what we have in store for us. Nadesico? Yamato? White Base? Galactic Stardestroyers?

Nice fights. Though the enemies are really using outdated technology if we go by how fast ernesti can develop them.

[felix]

^ Ernie probably will make magic missiles. Or anti-mech sniper rifles.

Really liked Ikaruga this episode. Seems there's no issue with magic consumption either.

[4th Dimension]

Or will simply blast away into the skies on his mech because FUCK gravity, I have mana for days.

Also in this episode Ernesti finds his true calling, as a merchant...

A MERCHANT OF DEATH!

Which works on many levels.

Also merchants? Really? With a guy going around in a mech clearly designed for royalty?

I have to give props to the "evil bad dudes" and their dedication to making everything they make really tell EVERYONE that they are BAD DUDES. From hosting all their meetings during night (because fuck the cost of candles and fires), making sure their mechs use obviously evil names and spikes for days, having a deamon thing above the throne room that dominates the room and using red lighting on everything and even making the MOON above their castle RED.

In any case, it has been clear from the start that this franchise is more interesting in mecha porn about how the mechs operate and how they are used than ANYTHING else. So it's kinda the shame that the Anime tends to gloss over that too in it's mad dash through content.

What did Ernesti do to his sword to be able to cut through armor like that?

[4th Dimension]

Ehh, all the swords seem inexplicably able to cut through pretty much anything (including armor) that's not either a shield or a sword no matter the thickness of either.

Allthough I suspect the answer is either RIDICULOUS OBSCENE amounts of mana or some sort of magical shenanigans with his sword making it a POWER SWORD

Probably acceleration? Ikaruga does move at some insane speeds

[blakstealth]

Just started watching this. Man, that ED is so classic 8 bit lol. Really like the mech designs as well. Ikaruga's my fave.
