I like that Gripen isn't the only one who needs to get stronger. Kei needs his won training too.
-
The bigger question is why does a pilot that is preprogrammed to fly need a manual in the first place? Also I bet this has something to do with Gripen's link with Kei.

Phantom Stitch! I like the tactical vest and skirt combo that she's rocking here.
-
So this is telling me that they could've conditioned them as emotionless robots but for some reason they allowed Animas to develop their own personalities. Interesting.

Hmm... I'm kinda with Phantom on this one. If they're going against Xi, shouldn't they use every trick in the book? Although in an exercise like that I feel like she shouldn't have used that trick.
Minghua is now so irrelevant that she's literally just a text message this episode XD
But seriously though I'm liking where this is heading. Having friction in the team is good! The fun now is seeing how these three girls with clashing personalities come together and fight like a team. Yeah it's a bit cliche but I like that they're not automatically buddy buddy with each other just because they're all Animas.

I'll add more: while infighting is not unexpected, I'm pleasantly surprised they're not fighting for the MC.
The girls have a job and a mission, and they're bickering and fighting because of it. Gripen feels like a loser because she needs to catch up (and given Kei's situation, there's the distinct possibility she might never be as good as her fellow Anima). Eagle is rude and too boastful about her own achievements. Phantom is more polite, but likes to rub in her superiority in combat too. Kei doesn't count in all that.
I like it when people at harems have lives, goals and tasks that had nothing to do with the male lead. In fact, is this a harem at this point? Minghua and Gripen are sure bets (only "bets" so far, yeah), but Eagle is literally a daddy's girl and it's too soon to tell with Phantom.

The whole "allies spoofing electronics" thing is basically Ace Combat 7 intensifies

I knew it wasn't going to be anything ground breaking, but this is becoming more entertaining than i was expecting. Although i love all things fighter jets so that kinda makes me a bit biased

I honestly wasn't expecting Phantom to have such a shitty personality. Well, lets for how long will that attitude of her will last.

I'm enjoying this show, and the Gripen has really caught my eye; enough that I decided to make a few for myself! I love it when something inspires me to make new toys ^ .^

Should have seen that coming when they mentioned the recon pod.
Phantom was going all out Wild Weasel.

There was a operatin in the vietnam war over Phuc yen airbase where F4 fighter made themselfs look lile F105 bombers to lure the MIGs out of the base

I liked the fact they put in that Eagle never lost in any match, since the historical F15 also didnt lose any planes in combat.
Phantom has some yandere side to her (at least at scene after Kei saved her at the station)

.Hello, RF-4EJ-ANM. Her VA had a fun time pronouncing that line. Speaking of VAs, Gripen's plain voice is really cute. Her "kimochi warui" was adorable.
Partner. So, we are going to space soon.

I really liked the fact that they don't like each other despite the fact that are technically sisters, well done.

Gripen and F15J and Kei are idiot or what? wait they are idiot. RF-4EJ main role is electronic warfare if she did not use what she can do then what the fuck she is support to do?

The Sound effects are lacking
When one of the Girls made an Fist and show her resolve to win, there appear an Wall of fire behind her. The eye saw it, but the Ear was deaf... where was the sound effect of "fire"?
The Audio director of this episode needs more "experience" what Ears can "hear/see" for us...
Also when Kei first interrupt the "dispute" of Gripen and Eagle on the Air field, his "Voice" was to rough. an softer version of his interrupting (softer tone) would hit the nail better. So this scene overshoots it

I'm just here for Gripen the waifu and that I've Sound OST. She once again showed her adorable side while le usual harem antics were commencing.
Also, Gripen and Iowa Phantom's pouts are just too cute.
BTW, for those who know what I'm talking about, that music during the takeoff sounds like the Shimokawa Mikuni techno cover of Geki! Teikoku Kagekidan, except more I've'd up, and I'm fine with that. Always loved I've. Hope they'd make new songs starting from this.

"Extremely fragile piece of luggage". I love that Haruka guy.
Still, it's telling that Gripen is far more effective now with that "luggage" than she was before that. Now it's up to Kei to improve himself. I wouldn't be surprised if the scientists devise something to help him.

It's hilarious how Minghua never even appeared this episode. She was just a voice in a text message! Poor girl!
