As I promised, here's the episode review for:

Suisei no Gargantia Ep 5

Suisei no Gargantia

Calm Day

So where did we leave off in the last episode? Right, our loveable protagonist shed tears of nostalgia O.O

The first three minutes of the latest episode, however, recaptured Red's last conversation with Bebel regarding what the Galactic Alliance would do when the whole of the Hideous was wiped out.

Caught Red by surprise, that. 

 He then asks Chamber what exactly he could do around Gargantia that would help the people around him.

When Chamber gave him a negative response, he refuted with Chamber as a comparison, saying if he could help, why not Red.

Laughed when Chamber said Red shouldn't compare himself to Chamber.

After that, Red tried to play the flute again, but to no avail.

 Amy meets Red here and tries to play his flute too, although also to no avail. 

After receiving his pay from Amy (from working, I suppose), Red confides in Amy regarding his worth around Gargantia if he couldn't help out with anything. 

Amy then volunteers to ask around for work while she's off making deliveries.

So they set off.

And that's what we have here, with Amy bringing Red around wherever she delivers.

There was maintenance, but a new guy had apparently shown up and gotten to work already.

:(

Amy and Red then went to see if they needed any more fishermen.

Unfortunately, they didn't need anymore people so Red and Amy left. 

They even went to visit Bellows, but there wasn't anything Red could do.

:(

Amy left him then because there was nothing else she could do for him.

So Red decided to continue on his own, finding jobs wherever his legs took him. 

Nearly laughed my ass off when he was this close to cleaning cow dung for one of the farmers.

His search for a job stopped when Gargantia suddenly stopped. Panicking, he asked Chamber what was wrong. It turned out on days where there was no wind, Gargantia would stop and everyone would relax for the time being.

That said, Pinion decided to bring everybody out for a barbecue picnic after snagging a huge catch, with Amy, Red and Bebel.

After deciding on the location, Chamber arrived on the scene and Amy met her friends, Melty and Saaya. 

They marvelled at the view for a while before anything else :)

Getting an idea, Amy and her friends decide to get into their bikinis and play in the ocean.

They then coax Red into doing the same.

I won't deny it. Seeing Red topless was definitely a treat :P

Obviously Amy, Saaya and Melty thought so too.

Haha~

Sigh... The girl in me :P

Just as Pinion finished slicing the meat off his catch, however, he realises that there was no electricity. 

Seeing an opportunity, Red asks Chamber to, apparently, "incinerate" them. 

Hence, the pictures on the right :P 

Before anything else happened, Pinion asks Red to get something from somewhere.

Red, wanting to prove he was of some worth, took it with a determined nod.

He then set off to wherever was written on the piece of paper Pinion gave him.

Trust me, this was definitely the highlight of this episode. 

Red, running away from transvestites.

At that point of time, Amy received a request from Ridget. 

She and her friends then used their sail surfboards to get the job done.

Here we have the continuation of Red running away from the three persistent transvestites.

Trust me, they piss me off too, but it really made me laugh out loud :P 

Thankfully for him, Amy and her friends were headed to the top of the tower. Amy rescues him and they resume the race to the top.

When Red smiles, he's really cute :)

Turns out Amy's job was to turn on the sprinklers on top of the tower. 

T'was really pretty :)

Unfortunately, Red had to get back to what he really needed to do (which was to run that errand for Pinion). 

Yes, that meant going through the three transvestites again (as I'm sure you've deduced from the kiss marks on Red's face and body).

Ugh~ I still hate them.

Either way, all's well that ends well. They enjoyed the barbecue (which ended up being a party because Ridget and Bellows invited everybody when they found out :P).

Not to mention, Pinion was very creative with using Chamber as a barbecue grill.

O.O

Splendid episode, entertainment-wise, as usual. I liked that this week focused on more fun things rather than just work, work, work and space, space, space. Plus, I used to dislike Pinion, but after finding out that (SPOILER ALERT!) he did it because Red was feeling down, my opinion of him improved by much.

Not to mention, and this is the girl in me speaking, I got to see Red topless :P

I'm sure a lot of girls are fangirl-ing right now just thinking back on it.

I know I am >.<

I also love the surfboards. I mean, how cool was that?? Those boards (SPOILER ALERT!) turned into, like, mini-aeroplanes halfway! 

T'is a real pity we haven't invented that -.-

Still wondering about what Red will do, however. I mean, until now, there hasn't been an actual reference to how the Galactic Alliance has been doing since Red fell to Earth.

And, honestly speaking(?), I'm seriously doubting 13 episodes can thoroughly cover the whole story behind Suisei no Gargantia.

Despite that, I'm still greatly anticipating the next episode :D

CIAO!!
