Okie dokie, finally, the latest episode of Gargantia is here~!! For all those who have been dying to know what happened this week, here's the review for:
Suisei no Gargantia Ep 6

| Suisei no Gargantia |

| Festival |
Alright!! So last week, we had Red chased by a bunch of transvestites and a small barbecue by the beach.
This week, however, we first have Red clueless about what he can do about the money he gets from the people of Gargantia.
That's when Amy comes in and "saves" him. She tells him that there are plenty of things that Red can do with money.
She also mentions the "festival" in which is about to dawn. She then says that she might be able to help him get a job catching fish before the festival starts.
Here at the docks, Amy tries to get Red a job with one of the fishermen.
To his luck, he gets the job and is allowed the operate the machinery.
See, on "Earth", there's a phenomenon that occurs quite rarely where "lightbugs" gather in the ocean (that would be the black-black stuff).
Apparently, on certain days, the lightbugs gather in such a way that it forms a ring. That way, the fish get caught within the ring :)
And that's when the catching starts.
Ahh~ this here is Red getting familiar with the buttons in the Yunboro that they lent him to go get the fish.
He gives a positive reaction to the numerous buttons in the Yunboro before setting off towards the great ring in the middle of nowhere.
At least, that would have been the case if Red actually got that far. Unfortunately, once he was plopped into the ocean, he started communicating with Chamber, as if there was one in every Yunboro.
O.O
I think you see where this is going :P
Well, although the fishing didn't go as planned, Amy brought Red to eat.
As you can see from the bottom right picture, the bun that Red's eating is seaweed bread.
Trust me, I'm wondering too :P
Not long after, Melty and Saaya join them and ask Amy why she's not dressed yet.
That's when Amy starts gobbling up her food. After finishing within a timespan of 5 seconds on camera, she thanked Red for the food and sped off with her friends.
Pinion appeared then and brought Red to eat in some fancy restaurant.
Obviously it was to be Red's treat. I wasn't expecting Pinion to pay for anything, really.
Though he wasn't impressed with Red's choice of food = seaweed bread.
Whoo~
Turns out what Melty and Saaya were getting dressed for was a dance show at the restaurant.
Flimsy see-through outfits? No doubt there were people applauding and wolf-whistling.
Bellows shows up then and offers to have Red part of her crew, salvaging treasures at the bottom of the sea with Chamber.
She and Pinion have a somewhat heated discussion regarding who would have Red on his/her crew here.
At one point, I think Pinion said Bellows had a "turtle-shelled ass".
O.O
Back with Chamber, who had decided to volunteer catching the fish, was having troubles doing it the right way as well.
Apparently, after catching the fish, the meat would be all minced.
Minced.
Hilarious, really.
That's when Red decided to get into Chamber and help them fish.
Requesting help from neighbouring Yunboros, Red and Chamber get started on the fish.
In no time, Chamber and Red get loads of fish and haul it aboard.
The fisherman, Bellows and Pinion were all impressed, of course, which in turn, made Red really glad.
After the festival was over, Red got a few souvenirs (as I'm sure you see from the crab toy and lollipop in the top left picture).
Breathing a sigh of fresh air and relief (from all the dancing), Amy relaxes, next to Red.
As if just remembering, Red takes out his "flute" and starts blowing it.
Unfortunately, the sound was quite... terrifying. He shrugged and smiled about it, though.
Just as Amy did in the bottom right picture :)
Red suddenly got jumpy, as did Amy's squirrel. There were flashes of lightning in the sky and Red mistook them for the Hideous creatures he fought back in space.
Which explains his actions when he grabs onto Amy as if to shield her from harm.
Which I think is so cute :P
Amy manages to calm him down, of course.
They then both relax and enjoy the beauty of the scenery before them.
:)
After realising his hand was still on Amy's shoulder, Red quickly retracts it and the both of them blush like idiots for a moment before Amy jokingly breaks the ice by saying Red needs to practice the flute more to improve.
Red then asks if Amy practices her dance and that he would like to see it again.
Amy agrees, of course -.-
Red is naturally awed by Amy's performance.
Since he'd probably never seen anyone dance before, it was to be expected that he's gawp like in the top left picture :P
After the special performance from Amy, the both of them head back to her place. Red gives Bebel the crab toy.
He's delighted, and so is Amy :)
The next day (I'm assuming), Red and Chamber is with Bellows, salvaging treasures at the bottom of the ocean.
Chamber proves to be a proficient asset in dealing with delicate things here and Bellows is very satisfied.
That is, until an unknown origins is detected by Red and Chamber.
Surprise, surprise, when Chamber identifies the creature.
I shan't tell you because it would be too big a spoiler :)
My, my, I must say that I'm really satisfied with this week's episode (except the fact that I have to wait another week to know what happens next -.-). Plenty of Amy-Red moments and, finally, a development in the series.
I mean, granted, there were aspects of entertainment that would have normally seemed unnecessary for the progression of the series, but the episode was definitely not a filler. (Plus, I understand now that the previous episode must have been of some importance because it meant Red was finally seen as part of the family :D)
Since the third episode, I've been on the look-out for anything that would give an indication of the Hideous thingymabob and Red's return to space so this is really refreshing in that sense.
Really happy about the tiny moments between Red and Amy. My heart went キュン! many a time :P Spectacular episode, in my eyes, and I am desperately in anticipation for the next episode :)
CIAO!!
