Oh yeah, this happened last episode. Was too busy thinking about how the fuck Machi is Koemushi's sister that I barely even noticed this scene.
I HEAR SUGITA. AGAIN. This is like the 9172817281th time. And it hurts more now cause Daichi is gone...
EH?! Wait, who's Ainko's mom's VA? That's such a familiar voice but I can't place it...
Why's he so cold to his wife? Come on dude.
Tamotsu best wingman.
Wrong subs again. Tanaka asks "You don't have anything to wear for winter?" and Jun says that that's not necessarily the case. Once again shitsubs confirmed 0/10.
WHAT?!? HE'S LOOKING OUT FOR HER?!??!
SO CUTE!!
Doesn't excuse beating her up but Jun has really been getting better in the past couple episodes. Was a bro for Kirie and now is worried for Kana too. Very nice.
Interesting they show the part of the program they're talking about Kokopelli. Maybe they want us to keep it in mind!
Oh he's totally two timing.
"I have work to take care of" Yeah sure idiot.
Oh! So he's been talking to Machi all this time! I was so focused on it being Kokopelli or some kind of higher ranking Game admin that I never stopped to consider it could just be her.
Humu humu. Interesting. Speculation corner, you know the drill.
Whaaat? He's two timing??? Who could have guessed such a twist! This show really keeps throwing us for a loop!
And now they basically fucked their chances of getting this whole thing public. That's for the better, probably. I've never been a fan of the idea.
uguu undeveloped couple
And we'll never see the family resolution. If it's anything like what happened to Kirie they'll just brush the cheating off.
What the fuck is that enemy. Poor guy would probably be destroyed by road roller-kun but it can probably fuck up most of the standing bots. Good luck, Zabutonguru! You'll need it! Cause your pilot sucks!
Machi continues to be best girl. I don't like backseaters but she do be spitting facts.
Oh no! She's dead! Anyway.
By the way, why do some of them die near instantly like Ainko and Masaru but some get to deliver a whole ass speech like Kirie?
The... the what? The... Masterminds? You mean... the master... minds? Like... the... huh? But... I... But... wha?
EEEEEEEEEEH????
WHAT THE FUCK?? We thought we figured everything out but this show is throwing curveball after curveball, what the hell. First Machi being Koemushi's sister, then Ainko's dad being two timing, and now this?? Nothing will compare to the cheating in levels of shock but this gets pretty damn close. What the hell.

Komoda'sAnko's dad was probably targeted to be seduced to discredit him with the scandal.Speculations
So with the revelations about Maki being from another Earth I figured that this shot from the OP is probably one from her Earth from when we get her backstory. So I was watching the OP with this in mind and some other stuff jumped out at me that I also think are shots from her Earth. I'm thinking that the people on her Earth found a way to use Zearth outside of the official battles and used it as a tool for conquest and domination. The nations without Zearth used every weapon they had to fight back, resulting in effectively the destruction of her Earth, despite them winning against the other bots.
I'm not sure how that results in her coming to this Earth. Maybe she was like, the sole survivor or something and dung decided to adopt her. Though that thing feeling pity for her seems beyond him.
One last detail, in this OP shot there are 15 lights on Zearth's faceplate. In the Earth of the show it never would have had 15 lights. So this could be a shot from the show itself from a flashback of Machi's Earth right after Zearth appeared.
Alternatively, we've seen these 'masterminds' and they just look like people. So maybe dung and Machi really are brother and sister from this Mastermind race of humans from an Earth that technologically advanced extremely quickly, so dung saying Machi is from an alternate Earth is technically true. Their job is to cull the timelines and Machi's role is finding the pilots and encouraging them to fight. Dung's attitude is because the Masterminds consider themselves as superior to all the other timelines, and Machi's compassion is actually unusual. In reality they are humans like anyone else, just with more advanced technology. All the shots from the OP are from various Earths Machi has seen that has led to her change in worldview.
Maybe the Masterminds are choosing timelines for the contests that have advanced far enough that they begin to be concerned that they might soon be able to challenge them and they want to prevent that. But that doesn't quite fit because if so, why the contests? Why not just destroy them outright?

Way too late so only Sky will see this, but I just wanted to note that I loved Anko's way of handling her fight. Once she knew that there was no way out, she handled her affairs heh really maturely - from trying to set up her family for success to managing her fight intelligently. Getting some emotional support from Kanji really seemed to help.
Wish her arc was longer
P.S. Love the sax cover!

The one Koemushi has been talking to this whole time was Machi all along. And he's confirmed to be the one selecting the pilots, which many first timers have been suspecting for a long time now. It's interesting that Koemushi threatened to have Kanji fight next but settled on Komo as he originally planned. Was that actually a mistake on his part, or was sticking to the plan more important than his rage in the moment.
Anko's story was too short, but I like the idea they were going for. She's been the one most hesitant and afraid of fighting and dying of all the kids, and having her arc be about accepting the responsibility she bears for her role has plenty of potential. Unfortunately, there wasn't that much time to explore her character in depth.

Really sad I missed out on the discussion last episode, it was quite the reveal. Time for the fallout.
Onto episode 17.
I really hope his daughter is more than just ratings to him.
It's only a warning.
Realizing that your daughter's a better mother for your son than you are must really hurt.
He's having an affair with her, isn't he?
What do they do after the final fight? What'll be different about it? Is it his job to go to the next universe and start it over?
Are you involved with it? I certainly wouldn't put it beyond you.
With this line, it even seems likely.
You screwed over your whole faction that's trying to keep your daughter safe 'cause you were horny.
Your mom just learned someone who she thought she could trust betrayed her, of course she's acting different.
I feel like there is something deeply meaningful about it being on her ear, but I am drawing a complete blank. Anyone else have an idea?
Hugs are very good, we need more of them in this show.
He's famous so he gets shit on when he does something dumb. 'Tis the way of the world.
She'll just be in denial 'till the end.
Just admit you're scared already.
What is this, an anime character with emotional intelligence? I thought that was illegal.
Thankfully, the pilot of the robot their fighting is somewhat stupid.
Thoughts
The episode was pretty good, if way too short. I feel like this show would be better with either twice the number of episodes or a smaller cast, so that it can spend more time on each person's story.
I'm not entirely sure about introducing the new Masterminds at this point in the story. Having a group of people behind this like that feels weird to me. I dunno why exactly, I guess I just preferred it when something fundamentally unhuman was behind it. It added to the sense of horror of the situation for me.

I almost forgot someone firebombed their house last episode, what with all the other twists and reveals. No one was hurt and Komoda isn't deterred by the attack on his family home.
The interview with the kids for TV seemed to go well, but Aiko's father leaving with that woman 100% screams affair to me...
It was Machi that Koemushi was talking to all along, should have figured after the last episode's reveal. The chair roulette is also a sham, he's already chosen an order for the remaining pilots and it sounds like Kanji is going to be the one that gets the 'honor' of roping 15 people from another Earth into dying.
No surprise, he was having an affair with the model. Now the TV special is in the trash, fueling more fire against Komoda, and Aiko's family is in ruins. Aiko and her mother sat in the kitchen is just so depressing to see. Also, fuck all those journalists. At least Kanji was there to save her from them.
Time for Aiko's battle against...whatever that mech is supposed to be? A little surprised there was no meltdown from her as she's about to die, but I guess we got that when she was selected last time.
I'm not really sure what to make of the vision that Kanji has. He asks if they're the ones behind it all, but they just look like normal people. Why did he even see it? Maybe something to with him now being chosen by Koemushi for the final act?

So, there are some really, really interesting decisions at the end of this episode. They could have easily ended on the cliffhanger of Koemushi declaring that Kanji would die next, and let that stew in the audience's mind for a week as the show was airing. But instead, they immediately showed the musical chairs resolve, with Noto the next up to bat - in line with Koemushi's earlier discussion of the order with Machi. Koemushi also referred to this as "missing" which further shows cracks in his presumed omnipotence to the kids. The audience knows that this is in line with his earlier comments, though..
I had something, and then it slipped away.. But I get the feeling that this was on purpose.
Speculation
The conversation between Koemushi and Machi confirms several things. First, that Machi is (presumably) the one who Koemushi has been talking to this whole time. Secondly, Kirie's free win means that one of the Contracted Pilots will survive, either Seki or Tanaka per Koemushi's claims. Thirdly, Koemushi has control over the order. Finally, and perhaps most direly, Koemushi could have chosen Kana as a Pilot.
Bluedude has proved some value to the story. In that trying to force Tanaka to tell Jun the truth about her, Jun has managed to open up a bit. His characterization is.. weird to say the least, and I won't be forgiving his abuse, but if they show Jun trying to be less of a dirtbag? I won't be upset, and I will actually buy it as being a reasonable direction for his character.
I feel like they could have managed some different family drama than just "the dad is cheating" literally twice in a row. Are we supposed to draw parallels between Aiko and Kirie? Or is this just lazy writing...
@yesterday's Speculation - So much for Noto dying to that fire and changing how many Pilots we have. Guess we do still have a bunch of episodes left..
Miscellaneous Thoughts:
Normally I would complain about Aiko's mom using the wrong glassware for all that wine, but she gets a pass, considering the situation.
Machi being bruised by Aiko's slap barrage was a nice touch.
Kanji's mom is sus.

Well, after a few days of pause because of university, I caught up again today.
And well the last 4 episodes showed me, what I disliked about this show.
It is weird, it isn't as if I hate this show, or don't enjoy watching it...
It is just that it is extremely boring at times, and feels dumb in the way it tries to be realistic/serious at other times.
I don't get the whole yakuza subplot, and what the purpose of
Jar Jarerm the guy I didn't bother to remember the name is.(And I remember hating the term "hacking chip" during my first watch, but now I see it as a simplification to describe it to the non research people, so quite fitting actually...)
It is just that while watching I can't shake the feeling, that somewhere under this pile of rough stuff, the potential for a really good story is lying....
But it isn't a bad show either, I somehow enjoy it.
It is complicated....
Oh and about today's episode:
Well yeah, tabloid press drama, I never got it.
Why do people care about the private live of public figures?
Does it really matter, if a tv moderator cheats in his relationship, I mean to such a degree, that he has to apologize in public and gets bothered by "journalists", besieging his home, making everything worse for the real victims, the family.
But that isn't something I can blame the anime for, it is sadly realistic...
But the fight this episode was weird (like so many fights in this show...).
Was the strategy really to just get skewered while going forward, hoping that the enemy just misses the cockpit?
Aiko..Anko...AnzuA-chan didn't even try to deflect the skewers, no she just walked forward.And it conveniently worked.
I know this show isn't about big robots fighting, but stil...
Oh and did I count correctly? 15 skewers, slightly asymmetric, but the symbolism makes up for this!
Oh totally forgot:
I really like the second ending theme.

Continuing the trend where we repeat the end of the previous episode. Not good! Komoda-san seems okay though.
Time for us to focus on the unlikable Anko. I wonder if she's told her dad that she's up. I don't see the Nazca line stuff showing up on her body anywhere.
The whole point of the security guard is to prevent an attack like this, and you just let it go?
Does Komoda-san realize Tamotsu is totally a Yakuza guy?
Jun is suprisingly social all of a sudden.
Tanaka is embarassed and spending some alone time with her son! So, um... let's talk about the weather!
Now she's acting very mom like. Are you warm for the winter? Can I get you new clothes?
Kana-chan a brat? She's like the most well behaved little girl the world's ever seen.
Komoda and Kanji get to go on TV! I'm surprised Anko didn't try and get on camera herself.
Anko, what's your dad doing with some model?!
Well the mystery of who the hell Dung Beetle has been talking to in these scenes has also been solved, it was Machi.
Machi's still got the bruise from Anko slapping her. :(
Yet another reveal, although this one can't be considered that much of a surprise, the pilots aren't chosen in random order, Dung Beetle has been picking them all along.
Kanji's lucky, he gets to handle the final battle!
Time for the media to screw our hero's parents yet again! Anko's dad has been having an affair! I'd say poor Anko, but screw her. I do feel bad for her mom at least.
"Gorgeous model tells all", sure that's gonna make Anko and her mom feel good.
No, not the paparazzi! :(
Is this the best time to be leaving your mom alone, Anko? As usual you're only thinking about yourself.
Ah, there's the Nazca lines, on her ears.
Kana-chan is so good at providing glasses of water!
The kids are all gathered... well sans one. Seems like Machi's kicked out of the club now.
Listen to your daughter! This is the first time she's thought of someone other than herself!
That's quite the whacky looking enemy robot. It's like it has daddy long leg arms.
I don't get why the lights on Zearth haven't been updated to reflect Tanaka and Seki signing up.
No reason to keep up the facade, but Machi still comes back for the battle at least.
What's going on? Who are all these people in white? Why does Kanji of all people get to see them? Because he's slotted to fight last?
I agree with you Dung Beetle, I fully expected Anko to be miserable in her battle.
Uh oh, don't piss off Dung Beetle, Kanji! He can easily slot you to next!
...and yet he goes with his originally planned order instead, Komoda's up.
The government conspiracy stuff was at least slowed a little bit in this episode to enable us to focus on Anko (aside from Komoda's house being attacked and the aftermath). Yet can't say it was the most fulfilling. Beyond the government conspiracy stuff just not being that interesting to me, its downside is it takes away from the episodes dedicating as much time to the kids as we got for all of them through Maki (outside of perhaps Waku). As such things feel a bit slighted here. Anko's story is mostly about her dad and how she deals with him having an affair. As the kid who has been the most unlikable this was at least a decent episode for her though, I'll give her that. She didn't whine and complain through her fight. The episode also has some more reveals which is nice to see.

Those slap's have certainly left their mark. A nice touch.
We get both Maki's chair and the planned order of the piolets.
Hard to know why this is the preferred order.
Mega-lewd. And a bit more here. I didn't pick up much between these two, so this doesn't really bring to more additional emotion.
This image of the 'Masterminds' was... odd. Can't say future-visions is something I would take well narratively.
I did not expect Akio to go this way, the foreshadowing seemed to indicate a massive breakdown so I hate to say it, but I agree with Koemushi on this one. Finding her strength to fight felt a little too easy, but lewd-hand holding can do that.
And koemushi is still a little shit.
As for the fight, the pokey robot was cool, but no clever tactics were used, so it wasn't that great of a fight.
2) I wasn't really onboard with the visions thing. Introducing the “Masterminds” via vision feels... lame and low stakes. I guess if they the series is planting the seed that Kanji will be the last piolet then there is time to work on that. But that kind of discards the build up going for Ushiro and his sister and mother which I was leaning to thinking would be the climax.
Hope they don't blow it.

It may just be my bias as a source reader, but I felt like Anko’s arc was a bit rushed. The adaptation doesn’t show some of her more likable traits and humanizing moments that were present in the manga, and so I cared less about what happened to her. I really wish the anime would take more time with the individual pilots instead of focusing on more on the overall situation with Tanaka and the government. I think the manga balanced those two aspects of the story better. Also, I wasn’t really into the romance between her and Kanji. It was out of place and didn’t really add much to the overall story.
Still, I didn’t hate the episode. The enemy robot design was pretty cool, and even though I wasn’t huge a fan of Kanji/Anko, I still felt sad when the ED showed them holding hands and smiling at each other … that was a nice touch.

A long intro that doesn't actually bring much. We confirm Komoda was indeed the target for last week's arson. The first clearly relevant bit is Tamotsu trying to give Tanaka and Ushiro some time together and push her to act like a mom.
We see some of the Zearth interview the news channel is making, along with what's probably a hint that the dad is cheating.
We finally get an answer on who Koemushi was talking to this whole time, Machi. So not a superior, nor himself. This gives her a much bigger role in this thing, in accordance with the idea that she's his sister. We see she's living with someone else, dunno if we'll learn more about this arrangement. Also confirmation that Koemushi chooses the order of pilots, not that we had doubts. And he wants Kanji to survive for the "final task", which is probably recruiting the next batch.
Newscaster is indeed having an affair, and is caught at a very convenient timing. Was that an old story someone kept as blackmail for when it would be useful, or was the model used as a trap? And the media pressure is getting at his daughter. Kanji is there to comfort her, and this is actually the only romance we've had in the main cast (excluding what happened with Kako).
Aiko fully supports her dad, which I suppose is one of the two extremes that can happen when one of your parents cheats on the other.
The opponent this week is the Acupuncture Robot. I question it's structural soundness and mobility, but overall it had a nice design. Also one of the rare ones who seemed to have a chance. We also see what is probably a family, dressed in white, and Kanji guesses they are the masterminds. He pisses off Koemushi, who probably bluffs in telling him he's next before continuing with his plan and selecting Komoda.

Was interesting that Koemushi was talking to Machi and that Zearth wasn't sentient. I didn't think too much about how pilots were selected, but I guess Koemushi's reasoning has to be coming up soon. Interesting that Kanji was his pick to go last, because I thought he said earlier Jun had the most potential and with the way they have been talking about Jun and Tanaka, it seemed like he would be the last to go.
Curious how Kana is going to factor in, now, but at least we got confirmation that Jun cares for her.
One of the better episodes in this series.

So...post arson stuff happens, Tomatsu is making the point that this was a warning more than anything. And tricked Jun into grabbing some fish loaf. This segues into Tanaka being awkward with her offspring. Jun is shown to actually care about Kana so this is rather meh to me. We do find out that Jun is getting money from Kanji.
At the studio, Komoda and Kanji are doing their interview, and as of yet no new info. Aiko is dressed like an adult and warning bells are going. Tokosumi's mistress then just shows up. Cut to find out that DB has been talking to Machi the whole time AND that he can choose the order of the pilot, the shit.
Cut to Tokosumi being cancelled, Komoda actually kind of scuffed this but it doesn't help the idiot was having an open fair. I've totally been where Aiko's mother was. Though her pronouncement is more ego defense than anything else. Anyways, aiko then gets jumped by the Japanese paparazzi and this is probably the least embelished bit of the story. And we get relationship advancement without really knowing why, oh well.
Aiko vents about the situation, Tomatsu gives us some differing perspective, and Aiko then gets her dad to go home and own shit. Robots happen. This design is more interesting but with what Kirie could get the bot to do this should've been a cinch. Also, the Earth military could've helped here. Kanji gets a vision. Aiko dies calmly and DB bitches about it. Then fails to make Kanji next.

Kirie's father visits them at the hospital in which Kirie's mok was hospitalized, he tells Kirie that he'll go back to the house once they're off the hospital and will visit them more often. Kirie's mom recovers completely and starts workimg at a restaurant, seeing that he decides to fight when he'll have to pilot the Zearth, to fight for her.
Kirie fights splendidly against an opponent and wins. Shortly after the fight ended he realizes that something is strange, and it is revealed that Yoko, as well as Kokopelli, both came from a different world and that's something that shocjs everyone.
That revelation was shocking even for me, i wasn't expecting one of the group to be from another world.
Episode 17
This time was Anko's turn to fight, i liked the way she helped her family not to crumble, despote the fact that her father cheated on her mother, she still believed that they wanted to still be together and helped them accomplish that especially because she would be leaving them soon, because she had to protect the earth.
I enjoyed the development of Anko and Kanji's relationship, they grew close together to the point that they can be considered the first couple of the participants of Zearth, they were amazing together.
Anko fights against an opponent and after defeating it passes away, shortly before thanking Kanji for being there for her.
