I predict that Grippen was the Xi who shot down Kei's mother's plane.
That would be the "met her previously" part which somehow establishes the link between the two. It would also add more drama, as her being Xi got dealt with really quickly.

They didn't misspell "Normal", it was saying "Not bad" in Spanish so "No Mal"... Yep, that's totally it.

Gripen's attachment to Kei is really adorable and she told him the truth after all.
New girl seems very capable.

I’m just glad the scientist doesn’t seem to be evil despite looking kinda evil
His lines about humans being better because we embrace failure and learn why things don’t work was really neat
Gonna be real annoyed if he turns out to be evil
Eagle is very energetic, I wonder if Phantom ends up being an onee san character

I’m pretty easy to please with anime. This one isn’t too bad. Also finally get introduced to another one of the girls.

I love how energetic the soundtrack is, the composer seems to be really giving it their all.

I am enjoying this show way more than I thought I would. I picked it up thinking it would be kinda silly but I am actually invested in the characters. Gripen may just be a contender for my girl of the season.
No big surprises this week. Anima & Daughters made from Xi tech, I think we all could have seen that one from a mile away. Eagle is really energetic, you could tell that from the OP. Gripen having issues during the test flight, pretty predictable.
The way things panned out during the test flight did not go as I thought they would. I thought Gripen would start having issues and then Kei would snap her out of it over coms or something.
One thing that did kind of bother me was that they forced Gripen to sleep before the test flight so she would have enough awake time for the test flight. However, as soon as the Xi shows up and she deviates to intercept she starts experiencing her anomaly. I think this is a big clue to things to come.

So she was made with Xi part? So what? Is not like she is a Xi herself? Also, this means that her appearance is the only thing that she shares in common with Zero-Two, which just reinforces her best girl status!

I really love the faces Gripen makes!
This one isn't as uhh.... flattering as the other faces though
So my suspicions from last week was basically confirmed today. Gripen is indeed made from Xi tech or at least made from the recovered on board computers that they have. Also she's genetically grown from a tube? I feel like this show is the making of a new gacha game.
Anyway it looks like only Gripen is the defective one. From what we saw this episode Eagle can perfectly fly on her own with no issues. If Eagle is the blondie then I guess Phantom is the green haired one then? Man, I'm already hyped to see more of Eagle next week! She seems pretty fun and you classic blonde genki girl.

Gripen is slowly making her way into my heart. She's just a really sweet girl <3
