How was Episode 4 specifically a MLA ripoff and not simply just another military training camp story, stories which are a dime a dozen, stories I've seen many times over the years? You've got Starship Troopers, for starters ...

Also, I find it funny how people seem to be complaining about there being elements common to shounen/seinen anime - in a shounen/seinen anime.

Episode 5
Spoiler: show Quote:
MLA is also based in part on Starship Troopers, although mostly on Gunparade March, and while we do see training camps fairly often in such stories how things played out was very similar.

Episode 7
I'll just come out and say it: because I'm aware of future plot developments I can't write about this episode without accidentally spoiling stuff for future episodes, or even a plot synopsis since 99% of my reactions are based on knowing what's up behind the scenes. I'll sit this one out and write on Episode 8 next week. I do want to hear non-spoilered peoples' thoughts on Episode 7 though!

What she's saying is, different people are at different stages with the show, so simply writing this:

Understood, though I did not realize the spoiler tags on their own were that unreliable. Whenever I see the word 'spoiler' I brace myself for anything, really.

Sure, but we try to be as friendly and helpful as we can regarding spoilers. I mean, I don't think you'd like it much if (to give an example) a third season of the Suzumiya Haruhi anime came out, you had not read the books yet by choice, you excitedly go in to discuss the latest episode, someone has a post that simply shows an expandable spoiler tag, you click to expand it (expecting Episode 1 comments), aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand they spoil the latest novel for you. ^^; It would've been better if they had labeled their spoiler tag saying "Book 10-2 spoilers" and then provided the spoiler box. Then you could've saved yourself from being spoiled on stuff you had no reason to expect you would've been spoiled on otherwise.

((Personally, I've never had any trouble with spoilers myself because I always got ahead with most of the stuff I watched. I understand not everybody is like that of course, which is why you have my apologies.))

Wait, I thought you two weren't reading ahead for this one. You decided to read ahead, Morg? What about Doppel? (Not clicking your box, btw, for the very reason that it sounds like you've read ahead.)

It should be safe to read assuming you're dropping the show anyways, but prepare to be trolled.

I'll wait 'til next week. Will read it should next week's episode seemingly confirm my expectations. Will abstain should next week's episode either seemingly confirm something else or else not confirm anything of any sort.
