The Society must be really powerful to be able to deploy their own type of ATs. Anyway, although it wasn't showed Gotho, Vanilla and Coconna dying in this episode, Chirico's last thoughts and the narrator's words during the preview made me a little bit worried and sad.

Looks like massive casualties on both sides, except the Society's ATs, which seemed superior.

That limo is crazy durable. Everything else gets blown up instantly as soon as it gets hit with a missile, but that thing took it straight to the engine and just cooled itself off, no fires or anything. I really enjoyed the scenery with the monologue at the end, however.

Before I started this episode, I went ahead and watched Roots of Ambition and Pailsen Files, and that really did give me a whole new level of appreciation and motivation to continue on with Votoms. I'm going to watch The Last Red Shoudler before I move onto the next arc, as well.

Oh so there are more ATs, I was getting worried we were only gonna see Scopedogs and a few minor variants.

Nice to see Chrico does care about the others.

Looks like the next arc will be starting next episode. Thank god, the first one was getting stale and was pretty average, aside from the great action scenes. I hope they explore the characters more in the second arc, both Chirico and his friends. The cast is really small yet they made them so boring, which makes only Chirico somewhat interesting out of the group.

After all the build up, and Chirico still didn't bring the girl with him. And the way they killed off a couple member of the cast so casually was a tad underwhelming.

Welp, the Woodo arc ended up being a disappointment. It had me interested at first but then it lost me.

The next arc which apparently some Vietnam like arc should be interesting but for now putting this on hold.

Woodo is being torn apart, and it appears that a new arc is about to begin.

The society's ATs are extremely powerful. Chirico needs to get the hell out of there.

so sad they died, and after all they did for him too

he has some serious PTSD and repressed emotions, but hes still endearing to watch

the secret society is very big for nicer AT models to fight the army. I wonder if the Secret society is associated with the enemy galaxy?
