Wow.

This week's episode was incredible.

I felt Trigger really brought their A game. It's kind of hard to describe exactly but I feel like this episode was extremely well directed. There were moments where it felt more like a film.

Yeah, I tend to look at things a lot from a filmmaking perspective... As for for specific plot points: [spoiler]The minute and a half re-cap was a brilliant twist on this not-so-endearing anime trope. Bravo Trigger. The big underground life-fiber reveal was a definite nod to Evangelion, which I also enjoyed. Seeing more of Satsuki's softer side was great too. You just know that some kind of conflict is going to happen between her and Ragyo at some point. Ryuko's conflicted reaction at the end of Aikuro's explanation felt a lot more real than her simply sitting there and going "yeah", not to mention a beautiful bit of animation.[/spoiler] Like I said, just amazing pacing throughout this episode. Really excited to see how things play out from here and I hope Trigger keeps it up.

i'm glad they finally covered the backstory to life fibers, but as far as the motives of COVERS and the Kyruuins... why? [spoiler]is it simply the consuming/godlike nature of the life fibers? it seems like they're interested in an apocalyptic/end of times scenario. maybe they think that they will be spared because they are helping the life fibers achieve their goal.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]It happened sooner than I expected[/spoiler]

Spongebob - Don't Need It! [original]

rtil · February 9, 2014 03:55 AM

out of all of those i want the mako nendo the most

the last one, the angle they chose for the pic is really bad, the foreshortening makes her look weird. i'd like to see it from another angle

iinnkk · February 9, 2014 05:13 AM

Here's a back image if that can make up for it at all.
(but yeah I agree, she looks a bit wonky from that angle. her left leg looks so weird)

rtil · February 9, 2014 05:56 AM

that's a little better... maybe the pose is just weird haha

what made eyepatch bitch so strong in the first place [spoiler](and THANK GOD she didn't just mary sue murder all the new goku uniforms)[/spoiler][/spoiler]

sev · February 14, 2014 07:32 AM

[spoiler]i was thinking she might be some sort of emissary of the life fibers herself, like some sort of alien. but im not actually sure now, it's really hard to tell with her shocked reactions to things[/spoiler]

rtil · February 15, 2014 06:51 AM

ragyo confirmed for worst mother in anime

Kött · February 16, 2014 02:16 PM

Holy shit, dat episode!
[spoiler]So Ryuko and Satsuka were sisters all along and her red strain of hair was actually a life fibre (making her a life fibre human hybrid form). Well, one could've guessed that bit of Symbolism, but for some reason no one did... I feel really stupid, just writing it off as a choice of character design.
I'm not exactly sure what the mother is as of yet, but she also somehow managed to fuse with the life fibres and even before she acquired Junketsu, Satsuki was no match for her. I guess that does make her either the final boss or something Spiral King-ish.
With Ryuko out of the game (she ripped out her fucking heart, but the preview mentioned that she would merely be unconscious), I wonder what's going to happen to Mako (whose only function until now was to be the best friend of the main protagonist so far). They might actually continue the show with a major time skip and make her one of the new major fighters/nudist beach generals, which could be really weird but also really awesome
I'm not quite sure what the mother's plans with Ryoko are, but it kinda goes into the direction of living test subject, knowing her past endeavours.

The next episode could really be anything.[/spoiler]
