Reideen ep. 5
[Episode 5: White Herons Assemble]
[Enjoyment Value: 8/10]
[Thoughts]
This was a pretty nice episode. The beginning was pretty funny with Maedasaki forcing Junki to work at his company and providing him with an escort. They actually followed the guy everywhere! Although we had little Akira appearances in this episode it’s still nice to see that she’s at least puzzling Junki for now. Also, Junki should be a little more nice to Shiori from time to time. She seems to be the closet thing to a best friend to him but given the way she behaved in the previous episode I think it’s safe to say she cares a lot about the guy. I’ve also come to the conclusion that those Jin-Rai units are completely useless in offensive battles. I mean really, it took three of them to just push over the alien giant and they still didn’t beat it. Though, I am pissed at the military. What’s with these top brass officiers and their habit to cover their own asses through the sacrifice of another? To go so far as to shoot missiles at Reideen because they didn’t want the public to find out that they’re basically worthless? That’s just pathetic. Well, I hope that in the next episode Junki shows them how it’s done as it seems as if he’ll be getting a wing upgrade next for Reideen.

Sadly classmates never get a chance. It’s obvious Junki will run to Akira instead of Shiori. Damn mysterious girls.
The Jin-Rai units are useless. I don’t even think they were meant to be used for combat with that horrible balance. They’re better off using those for construction work.
Taro’s gay for Junki by the way. ¬_¬
Akira is nice. Yes she is. So I don’t really blame Junki. But Shiori is a cutie as well.
And yeah, those Jin-Rai units have horrible balance. Their design just doesn’t allow for any type of combat except for long-range attacks like missiles and such.
As for Taro…I really don’t have anything to say about him at the moment. lol
