Nuts, I wanted you to buzz the tower…
That was one of the better dogfights I have seen in a while. It may not be as flashy as those in Macross F but both Allison and Benedict flew magnificently and displayed their fighter pilot prowess. More on that later, but I am surprised that they decide to wrap up the treasure hunt so early. This complicates things a bit as now the destination is shrouded in mystery for now and it seems that this is going to be about a series of adventures rather than one long journey. In a way the resulting peace is a good thing since now Allison and Wil can travel about Sou Beil without much trouble with Benedict in tow.
Lock S-Foils in attack position.
I have you now…
Lost Pyrie, lost Dutch. It came from behind….
So on to the dogfight then, Allison did the right thing in trying to evade Benedict by turning hard and barrel rolling. Granted that her plane was heavier she made the correct choice to dive as she could descend faster that Benedict. Allison’s gutsy move to take the fight vertical and it was admirable that she did it going into the sun to prevent Benedict from getting a target lock. However stalling out so close was a very dangerous maneuver and had Benedict been slow a collision would have been assured, but Benedict was fast in reacting. Sadly for Benedict once Allison stalled she was glued to his six and he could not get out of the vertical and had to stall while she had a clear shot. I think that Allison didn’t spin out because one she’s probably done it before and given that her engine was mounted in a rear facing she more easily nosed over to recover. I guess they have also have superchargers in this universe. Allison did do a preflight check after all given how she got a glimpse of her ammo. Granted that she has already seen Sou Beil’s front line seaplane fighter I guess she did her homework or read the manuals while bored.
They’d wonder why Benedict put purple spots on his plane.
Sure when some cave man does it it’s art but when i do its graffiti and vandalism…
That’s 2LT Love letter to you.
Benedict was no slouch but when he went vertical against Allison he got greedy because they were both going to stall and it would have left him with only one shot. Good thing for Allison that her heavier plane forced Benedict to disengage or collide. In the end though, Benedict shot down four bogies two with “boom and zoom” and the other two with a charge. The only problem I have is that Benedict needed a climbing hack to start his boom and zoom. Still since they got everything else right I can forgive this one flaw.
Your feeble skills are no match for the power of
GRAVITY.
Dumbest War ever over! Fat Dude and Sunglasses dude die in Love Suicide. Read all about it!
I guess these people also had radar and I am glad they decide to put the radar set in the big two engine flying boat as early radar sets were heavy and often required that nose be used for installing the set. So the gang finds the treasure and learns the origin of man. Sadly dome obese officer and his crony demanded to see the gold so that they could good thing Wil broke out his C-96 and forced their foes to an hero themselves. While Allison and Wil deserve credit for the discovery the wisely step aside in favor of 2LT Love Letter, Ker Benedict as he is an adult and is a big shot fighter pilot of some renown. I guess having a dashing ace deliver the news makes it more palatable as the public on both sides of Lutoni are probably ready for peace. So ends one of the most pointless war in recent memory, but then again aren’t 99% pointless?
You Roxchians and you tea…
Dude she so wants to love you tenderly…
And a desperate 2LT Love Letter too…
While Walter did not last long you have to feel for the old spetsnaz who probably killed off his own unruly men with a back flipping hatchet attack. Walter never got a state funeral or a soldier’s funeral. He came back to his widow in a little box. His game be over.
Well next time 2LT love letter finally meets his girl in snow, and some grannie gets a gun…

I’m still appalled by the fact not many people are watching this. The first four episodes of A&L already beat most shows that are three times in length ):
Come on people, Nana Mizuki and Noto Mamiko are in this. Surely that alone warrants a watch ╰(ಠ_ಠ)╯
Shin added these pithy words on May 03 08 at 1:32 amSorry Shin, but I almost fell asleep during the first episode. That generally means I won’t watch the show 
@Shin
Yeah Spring is the season where backlogs are made. It is a pity that not too many people blog about it, but at least there are groups who are subbing it so its not all bad.
@Calawain
Yeah no melonpan means no watch, amirite? 
The lack of boobs doesn’t change the fact that the pacing was really slow~
Calawain added these pithy words on May 03 08 at 4:00 pmIt’s my kind of slow. Like a Tiger I big, slow, and powerful.
Crusader added these pithy words on May 03 08 at 5:46 pmI was unnerved by how quickly this thing resolved, but I like the show so I’ll let it slip.

I guess this means that the will have a series of adventures rather than one big one. I am curious as to how it would play out though.
I like how Allison goes all “dere dere” for Wil. And for Wil himself, he got to get it though his thick head about knowing her feelings. But I guess she will let him know for sure soon enough.
