Episode 5 - Underwater



- - - - - - - - -




Even without a battle, this was quite an interesting episode. Tanikaze really cares for Tsumugi, but I guess he cares for all of his friends. His personality is otherwise pretty thin, but that makes sense considering he grew up alone doing nothing but scavenged food and sitting in a simulator fighting gauna. Gotta say Izana suddenly got a real boon out of the blue. A bit strange Yuhata didn't try to exploit the situation, but perhaps she's right now far too busy to notice Tanikaze was getting kicked out of the dorm. They didn't show much in the bath scene, but it would be hard to think Izana wasn't behaving like a girl there. She's definitely going down that path. Other than spending lots of time with Tanikaze she hasn't been too proactive. I hope the artificial arm and leg won't make her feel unsure of herself and withdraw.

The preview looked a bit ominous, but truth to be told, any scene with Ochiai-Kunato is ominious. You never know what a mad scientist could be planning.
