The tank Felicia was in during the war was much more basic and primitive, but the tanks in the Old Era we saw looked the same as the Takemikazuchi when you compare the turret... Wow!<br /><br />Also, the big reveal on the mystery blonde from earlier episode flashbacks and Rio's heritage...<br /><br />Best episode of the series so far, I'd say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323543890331313328.post-90231587033662960132010-02-16T04:48:50.228+00:002010-02-16T04:48:50.228+00:00This was an amazing episode.

I loved the ending scene at the festival, it was a beautiful conclusion to this episode which dealt with death and loss. It was like a picture of life continuing on in a painful but still powerful way. This episode also only worked well because of the episodes that preceded it. For example with regards to Noel's doubt of her machines and Felicia's protection of the girls, like Jeleinen says. I love the close attention to detail in all aspects of this show.Sumire001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323543890331313328.post-40500514447068372132010-02-16T02:40:46.485+00:002010-02-16T02:40:46.485+00:00This episode managed to hit almost all the right n...This episode managed to hit almost all the right notes. For what started as only 'K-On in the army', it comes a long way, and I think it'll continue to shock until the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323543890331313328.post-56483353932713358762010-02-16T02:18:50.467+00:002010-02-16T02:18:50.467+00:00I think it was explicitly stated that Noel experie...I think it was explicitly stated that Noel experienced some sort of trauma from the war when she states that she's the one that understood what Felicia was going through. <br /><br />What I liked most about this episode was it gave a really good explanation behind how Felicia acts. She doesn't want the other girls to go through what she did, so she's doing everything to protect and shelter them. Especially Kanata, who is the spitting image of what she was like before her war experience. It took a seemingly shallow part of the show (the idyllic, every day lives of these girls) and gave it meaningful context. <br /><br />I also liked the big reveal on Rio's background.JELEINENnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323543890331313328.post-8615545115657451642010-02-15T23:33:30.344+00:002010-02-15T23:33:30.344+00:00That "Army Corpse" scared the beejeezus ...That "Army Corpse" scared the beejeezus outta me.JWnoreply@blogger.com
