Chrome Shelled Regios #06 — Dinner With the Family

February 14th, 2009

 

Yes, dinner with Felli was probably the highlight of the episode.

Impressions:

A very dry, exposition heavy, and rather boring episode that really didn’t actually go anywhere. Thankfully, next week looks much better. The most interesting thing about this episode was Nina’s squad losing in their mock battle in the first 5 seconds. Unfortunately, they spent next to no time on it. They could have built it up a little more, or shown that even with Layfon’s overwhelming advantage, it doesn’t mean jack if your strategy/leadership blows, but instead, we just got Nina looking shocked and a little bit of angsting. I have to admit that it was a damn good shot to be able to hit a flapping flag dead on. Maybe Nina’s just terrible at defense.

I think the thing that annoyed me the most though was that they stretched out the letter from Leerin (which is apparently how her name is spelled… *sigh*) for the entire episode. Each member of Fon-fon’s harem got it in turn, then proceeded to drop or leave it in attempts to give it to him for the next one to conveniently pick up and wonder about. Then, at the end of the episode, we still have no clue what the bloody thing even said. It was nice to see that Felli’s smart enough to not physically abuse Fon-fon when it could result in some actual harm, so her violence remains on the more reasonable side, but that was her only blob moment this week sadly.

Well… at least the Engrish part was minimal.

Bad hair day.

  • shio says:

    Kinda a meandering episode, but I liked seeing Felli enter angry mode over a mere potato. :)

  • Irie says:

    Looks like the letter from his home town girlfriend made it. Most carry some meaning since it’s referenced so much. Also, since OP has several of the original guardians fighting alongside Layfon, Felli and Nina will they make an appearance at some point. You have to believe Layfon can’t beat every creature on his own.
    finally, I expect the queen to show up soon. This slow episode almost makes it feel they are trying to stretch things out a bit. If we see many more, expect a second season.

  • Nathan says:

    Someone, please, please, for the love of god please, tell me where I can get LF(Since I’m not 100% the subs I watch spell his name right. Actually, it’s different almost every time.’>_> <_<‘.)’s cosplay for his dress uniform. The blue white combo thing is cool. If I could get reference pics of that or even his combat uniform, I’d really appreciate it.

  • R says:

    I got the impression that they (17th platoon) won the match, solely because of Layfon (taking out 3 by himself), in which causes Nina to question her leadership and strength, and even Sharnid to step it up a little.

  • Aroduc says:

    Keep in mind that the way the matches are set up is that one team attacks, and one team defends the flag. It opened with the 17th platoon’s flag being shot to end the match. Pretty sure that means a loss.

  • zavior says:

    Nina looks so cute when she was younger ( longer hair too )

    Anyways some of the names are totally different in the manga:

    Layfon/Reyphon
    Felli/Fairie
