the girls und panzer thing is more because he specifically told the staff not to than anything. like of course people are gonna try and be smartasses about it if you specifically tell them not to do something

Episode 18: The way Kurz and the male no-name soldiers behaved towards Tessa was super uncomfortable. While in theory she's their superior officer, that's really not how the power dynamic feels (especially since she's 17 or so). Mao's bullying in episode 13 was one thing because it was so absurd, but this feels too similar to real-life workplace sexual harassment to be funny. (To be clear, this is a fairly brief subplot, not the focus of the episode or anything, but it bothered me enough that I had to mention it.)

In modern times the most profitable fanservice is probably the inexplicable hotsprings episode, and even counting any occurrence of Anime Fog still doesn't come close to 70%. But it's not close to 0% either, unexpected or not.

Episode 19 of FMP gives us more Kurz being terrible. It also gives us another silly country name: Beru. Obviously it's based on Peru, and the bad guys in this episode are meant to be the Shining Path (Shining Bath?). In Episode 20 we get a surprising revelation about Whispered. Well, surprising to someone like me who doesn't watch much giant robot anime, since I remember reading about something similar involving Newtypes in Gundam. Apparently Whispered don't just have supertechnology blueprints in their heads, they can also form psychic connections with each other. But while I'm under the impression that Gundam treats this as a good thing, Tessa says that this would be bad if taken too far because she and Chidori would lose their individual identities. The talk about Tessa and Chidori forming psychic bonds struck me as having some yuri overtones that I'm not sure were intended. (In a more recent anime it would totally be intended.) Perhaps they weren't intended but the writers realized it anyway, and hence felt the need to assure us they're both straight by having them talk about how much they both love Sosuke right afterwards. Or maybe the point is that Tessa is assuring herself and Chidori that they're rivals and hence in no danger of merging their consciousnesses. If I'm overanalyzing this, it's only because the revelation felt so jarring. It's possible there was some sort of foreshadowing I forgot, like maybe Tessa simultaneously reacted when Chidori was having Whispered visions or something. Edit: Kurz actually does something intelligent for once and uses the sniper skills he demonstrated in Episode 19 to dump a building's worth of rubble on Gauron to make him use up his Lambda Driver. It looks like Sosuke is seriously considering committing a war crime and just shooting a surrendering Gauron right there, but stops himself. The next episode preview makes it look like Mithril screws up keeping Gauron restrained somehow, resulting in him not only getting free but also killing some no-name soldiers. Ugh. Hopefully the details don't make Mithril look too incompetent. Edit 2: It's interesting that Sosuke was more affected by the deaths of the mooks in Helmajistan than I'd expected. This may be in part because Gauron actually killed Grace, whereas before I'd assumed she just got her mech smashed but survived. On the other hand, killed Zaied doesn't seem to bother him much in comparison. This perhaps shows that Sosuke has a better moral compass than the average action-adventure protagonist; I think normally they seem to care more about childhood friends turned evil than about mooks even on their own side.

Episodes 21-23: The grizzled commander guy claims that despite acting impulsive, Gauron is actually a smart guy who always has a plan to ensure his own safety. This actually does fit his behavior, come to think of it; the dumb risks he takes seem to be with the mission objectives rather than his own safety. Sosuke uncharacteristically snaps at Kaname. When Kurz calls him out on his venting his frustration with the situation at her, Sosuke shows an entirely characteristic lack of self-awareness and denies that's what he's doing. Mithril actually does not come across as particularly stupid here; Gauron escapes from the guards only because one of them was a mole for whatever his current faction is called (but apparently not someone he knows personally, oddly enough) and takes over the submarine only due to another mole and a computer program specifically designed for taking over the submarine. You might think this would at least make them stupid in terms of screening personnel, but Gauron makes it sound like their troops are actually harder to bribe into becoming moles than those of most military organizations. Tessa, Kaname, Sosuke, and Kurz all get a chance to be cool in their own ways in the resulting crisis. Weirdly, grizzled commander guy turns out to be wrong about Gauron ensuring his own safety; apparently he's genuinely reckless and was willing to die as long as it was a sufficiently spectacular death. It looks like the season finale will be a setpiece mech fight between Sosuke and Gauron, which would have more impact if they hadn't already fought before. Now that Sosuke is angry enough to use the Lambda Driver again, the question is no longer "how will Sosuke survive?" but "how will Gauron survive?" Will Sosuke capture him alive again?

Episode 24: I forgot about the mechs having a self-destruct function, which allowed Gauron to threaten Sosuke's life after all. The question of how Gauron survived this time remains, though.

anyway just imo it makes more sense to make big posts in a slower thread specifically focused on something related to those big posts, where it might generate discussion, rather than a more general, faster thread where most people who arent interested in it will just ignore it. if the big posts are about a thread of conversation thats one thing but if theyre just apropos of nothing just slapping them down seems like 90% of people wont really read them like not even a posting crimes thing just, if you want to have a discussion instead of just shout thoughts into the void, there you go

i think if the guy wanted to have a discussion more generally about fmp it would be fine, same as any other derails in this thread that spring out of the natural flow of posting/news. but episode by episode reviews of an old show that has a genre megathread should probably just go in that thread, especially when they're like 90% spoiler blocks. i don't think anyone is saying this is a huge deal, but the flippance at wanting off topic posts be put in a more appropriate thread is annoying.
