I suspect weвЂ™ll be finding out by the end of the next episode unless they intend to drag this arc out for three episodes.

Heck, it seems pretty likely sheвЂ™s going to be faced with a mercy kill situation next episode, which is definitely guaranteed to either push her down the path of PTSD ( to parallel Takeru of course вЂ“ they seem to be doing that a fair bit so far) or turn her into something badass ( hopefully this). I really have very little idea what to make of Yui at this point, though it seems theyвЂ™re trying to take her down pretty much the same route as Takeru вЂ“ starting her off as a naive and idealistic solider who wants to get into the fighting as soon as possible only to have the horrors of war with the BETA abruptly thrust upon her. So much of the episode was spent on rushing us through these time skips that little to no time was actually spent developing the character who I assume is meant to be our focus ( it is her back-story after all). It almost always seems to be more effective when the intricacies of the world are shown to us rather than forced upon us through background exposition.

I suppose itвЂ™s effective on some level, but at the same time, itвЂ™s an extremely blunt way to go about it and I hope this wasnвЂ™t the entirety of their plan to make the series accessible to newcomers. This is basically used entirely to attempt to pile any relevant world information on us, through lectures, news broadcasts, phone calls, etc, much in the same way as Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon was wont to do. The episode starts with a series of time skips, glancing over the important information on first contact with the BETA ( Being of Extra Terrestrial origin which is an Adversary of the human race) and the devastation they wreaked during their arrival on Earth.ДЇrom there the episode is content to launch into a rapid condensation of eishi training and Takamura YuiвЂ™s ( Nakahara Mai) background. It does not store any personal data.As first episodes go, this was undeniably one of the moreвЂ¦ for lack of a better word, вЂvaried.вЂ™ I wasnвЂ™t entirely sure how the series would be starting us off вЂ“ there was talk about making it more open to viewers unfamiliar with the rest of the franchise and while I canвЂ™t attest to how well they actually did, the effort was definitely there.
