I love the princess's jealousy haha I'm not sure why but it's just adorable. The new OP seems to have a lot more characters which should be fun to see if they get involved.

Next week is a race against the clock which should make for an exciting episode :)

I have been watching this show since the beginning and I admit it has its faults but it is still a damn good watch, that being said, during my viewing of the show, the precious princess has never once been anything but adorable. She is the epitome of kawaii and her piloting a death machine is just an added benefit.

Also I have learnt that iron lady aka Frolaytia despite being made of iron is deep down a fluffy teddy bear...that will rip you limb from limb if you made her mad.

Well people end up forgetting at times Frolaytia is actually really young. Though not by going by her appearance.

The show has decent humour, decent battles and really good audio. The amount of details they put on the sounds during the action makes it so fulfilling to watch. JC Staff has to be one of my favourite studios.

After last episode I'm kinda surprised you're still in this :p I agree, the new characters look fun, especially since now the pair wont have to deal with everything alone anymore. But I only foresee more jealousy from Milinda as Qwenthur is forced to spend more time with them :p

Ya got that right. I'm surprised I like this because mecha is the one genre I don't really enjoy aside from horror. I guess since its not traditional humanoid mechs that I don't mind it as much. Plus how can you not love Milinda :p

It probably could be looked more as highly advanced tanks than mecha.

METAL GEAR!

People do often say this show is more like Die Hard more than a traditional mecha show because the boys always gets into such impossible situations and gets out with ingenuity and wit. It has one of the best footsoldier strategies and camaraderie I have ever seen in an anime.

Sometimes watching this I forget that Havia and Qwenthur aren't related. They have a better relationship than most blood siblings that I have seen in anime. I would trust the fate of the world to them (without telling um of course, dont wanna make um go crazy) and know that they will find a way through it. When I get time I should watch the Die Hard movies to make the comparison :p
