Knights of Sidonia 2.09

Duty

Tanikaze and Izana investigate Senshukyo. She is convinced that he brought her to get her alone, away from the others. He still believes the directions he received from Yure Shinatose and sticks to the plan. The instructions call for them to spend the night there together. Izana takes a look at the instructions and realize that her grandmother is behind it all and gets angry.

Yuhata and Tsumugi spy on Tanikaze and Izana from a distance. Yuhata has no problem with doing so but Tsumugi feels a bit guilty about it.

A mission is sent to investigate Planet 9 of the Lem system. Izana is sent as part of the 5 person squad but Tanikaze is not. Everything goes well until it doesn't. The recon squad discovers a giant new gauna. One of them is killed and the others are in danger as the episode ends.

Thoughts

I don't understand why Tanikaze was not sent on the reconnaissance mission. He seems to draw all the difficult and challenging assignments. Why not this one?

Tanikaze and Izana spend the night together but it is unclear what if anything happened during that night. They return the next day but they don't seem any closer that they were before they went to Senshukyo.

This was an okay episode. It didn't feel as if much happened here. I liked the first half better than the second one. Considering all the hesitancy between Izana and Nagate I'm not sure what to expect if anything. I don't expect the last few episodes of the season to win me over.
