“Dio… when you do Coupling… even if it’s a Nice Coupling… remember to use protection or the waveform inside you may alter.”
Dad hears through the grapevine about the guy Dio’s been Coupling with, and is quite concerned. Rather than a unique Buddy, dad wants Dio to choose someone who will provide a stable career for Dio. Dio refuses and says he will continue to make Nice Couplings with Aoba.
So this was a pretty boring episode, which mainly consisted of driving around town while Orange pretends they’re on a date and Aoba has eyes only for Dio. Poor Orange. If I were Aoba I would totally go for Orange. Sadly, the smart girl always loses. But we can’t fault Aoba for his sexual orientation.
Dio has a reconciliation with his father (sort of), which was actually pretty well done. They don’t force things by coming out and explicitly saying everything, and Dio and his dad aren’t all chummy now, but at least they seem to have developed a bit more respect for each other after talking things out.
Meanwhile, Hina’s dad is busy sexually molesting his soldiers. Looks like next episode’s going to be a Nice Orgy if Hina’s dad has his way.
It’s not just him either…
We also see Dio’s cute crippled imouto again, who points out something fundamentally obvious to Aoba which Aoba of course fails to grasp. That if their father won’t listen to them, he’s not going to listen to some random stranger. Shocking, I know. But Aoba’s a good guy, he just wants to help!
It feels like not much happened this episode. Well I guess next week should have lots of excitement to make up for it. Predictions: who will Hina have a Nice Coupling with tonight?
- ERU-ERUFU
- Aoba
- Dio
- Orange
- Her father
- Herself
I don’t watch this show. I just wanted to point out that when I saw the first pic I wondered whether the Gendo Pose™ and Gendo Beard ™ are explicit requirements for having your son picked for a mecha piloting job. Seems pretty discriminatory if you ask me.
I think by now it’s become very clear that the selection process for mech pilots is full of highly unprofessional biases and hiring standards. Only soldiers with stupid haircuts and stupid names are even selected for mecha training and once on the force they must prove to their commanders that they have sufficiently angsty backstories before they can be considered for flying the more advanced models. Oftentimes these advanced models are given over to civilians with no military background whatsoever, mainly for the sole reason that this random guy just happened to fall into the cockpit. Only the most attractive women are allowed anywhere near the mechs; indeed, only the most attractive women seem to be allowed into the military at all.
It’s high time someone blew the whistle on this Gundamgate scandal of internal corruption and incompetence. I think the general public of all Future Sci-Fi Economic Spheres would be very interested to know where exactly their tax dollars are going.
Lol exactly. This is a crime against humanity, because all the attractive people are going to die in war and only ugly people will be left.
Think it may just be required for being a responsible adult who doesn’t like fun.
Also girls who are dying to get laid even though they are in a middle of war.
The same thing can be said to the guys as well.
What a total waste of tax money.
I was especially startled when they started stripping by the end of the episode. They are in a infiltration mission. Yet they took off their black suit and chose to wear fancy colorful suit. Very competent.
Pretty sure soldiers in every war spend half their time wishing they were getting laid, that’s why they have all the brothels and rape in war zones. In this way BUDDYCUM is quite accurate historically.
