    I'm sort of unsure how to place my feelings about the ending, I feel like its too lighthearted but the middle section was pretty lighthearted. Also was it just me or did a lot of things just happen with no foreshadowing(like Gargantia suddenly having advanced weaponry)?

    I'm not sure if I consider this anime a 6 or a 7, its like a 6.5.

    when Pinnion pulled out the comb I was like 'Pinnion please don't!', but I'm glad he survived thanks to Rackage. Pinnion is really lucky bastard eh?
    the best moment was of course Chamber: Gintoki mode!
    lol the ending was indeed grey (full of smoke).

    Depends on whether or not you consider the show pointing out this mysterious goofy seemingly irrelevant tower sitting in the middle of the fleet for no reason foreshadowing or not.

    Man, Pinion without his pompadour really does emit some kind of super harem pheromones. Also, 10 Urobutchers out of 10, the man's done it again. I feel much despair over losing best character. Looks like he's trying a different approach of quality over quantity.

    Well, all in all, Suisei no Gargantia was okay. I felt the mid-part did drag on a little too long, but the third act is pretty nice. Would not mind a season 2, maybe even see more Galactic Alliance "coincidentally" crash-landing on Earth.

    No.

    The story really did feel like he was expecting 24 episodes instead of 13.

    Madoka overall was better but the ending to Gargantia was much better. Mostly because Madoka's ending was sort of a nonsensical asspull.

    Cannot wait until the inevitable SRW debut so that I can totally prevent Chamber's heroic sacrifice and keep me an extra unit for when I need some more manpower in the game's later, difficult missions/something to help me get those battle masteries more easily.

    That was an ok anime. Unremarkable, but pretty solid. Chamber was awesome. Felt like it was originally intended to be 24 episodes long. 6/10

    Hmmm, thinking about SRW, how good/bad/awesome/wth would it be to have all of this season/Spring's Mech shows into one SRW? Watch as Ledo questions that identical-looking stranger that's advising Haruto, while Team Rabbits snark and sigh their way through.

    Did anyone else see the end card for this episode?
    questionably NSFW


    ... I'm the only one getting the impression that this may have been cropped from an H-pic?

    As they sortie from Spaceship Yamato / AAA Wunder.

    Good news, Ledo. You don't need to worry about fighting people that turned into squids. Now you have to worry about killer coral from the future that can turn into people.

    Naturally, the Vegans are still douchenozzles and the Flower of Lagrange girls are still pretty lesbo for each other.

    And there will be BETA.

    She pulled a Marathon runner, to save Gargantia, man. That's enough to forgive that trait like five times over.

    Doesn't seemt hat way to me; you probably jsut get those vibes because the artist is obviously Ishikei.
    ..Although looking more closely, Melty does somewhat give off that feeling, especially because of the pose of her hands. Reminds one too much of the double-V pose.

    He gives off the feeling of getting worse because he isnt actually getting worse, but is just extremely stagnant. Most artist's get better over time, Ishikei doesnt change at all. Also he can only draw two kinds of facial expressions

    Some of the best artists can only draw 2 facial archtypes.

    Agree on the Melty part. You also can see that the POV seems to be looking upwards. My guess is that they're cheering while clapping if you notice the fingers and hands above the edge of the picture.
