Tamako Market episode 7

I think it has been confirmed that there will be a road trip this weekend. Maybe even Friday. X___X Good thing I spent a lot of time today cleaning and catching up on laundry so I am not behind on everything when I get back. It will be weird though, going on such a long road trip with no real plans in mind. Usually we go somewhere and.....there is a theme park or anime convention. What do adults do on vacations that don't involve costumes and rides?

Dance bird dance!!!!!

I guess I will find that out later. Wish me luck in trying to ask off for Saturday on a Thursday. I would say worse employee ever but I have co-workers who ask off 15 minutes after they are supposed to be there. XD So what is up now in terms of anime? Tamako Marker episode 7 weee! Spoilers for more islanders showing up.

Let's rob her ass!

Episode Summary: Dera and Tamako are sleeping away when suddenly a girl appears in the house and starts playing a flute like instrument. Dera flies/falls downstairs where the girl yells at him for being a failure. Later when everyone is done sleeping the girl is given breakfast and introduced as Choi. Turns out that Dera has been telling the truth the whole time and he is a royal bird. Choi is from the same royal family and serves as a fortune teller. She has to use the birds though and with Dera so fat obviously this is made of fail. Dera looks nervous as Tamako scampers off to club practice in the ugliest school girl outfit later. Tamako tells her friends about Choi and they seem to want to rob the girl blind...I mean see her awesome treasures. Choi is walking around the city trying to understand why Dera is so fat. Oh and why his communication device is broken. Probably because he is fat. Dera throws himself down and apologizes a million times. He decides to lie and say the whole street has kidnapped him and made him to serve as the slave of the mochi family and they force him to eat all day long. Choi now views the entire street as a threat....but still wants to pay for her room and board. She is caught sleeping on the job as the wind chimes put her to sleep. Tamako finds her cute but Choi stays guarded. Tamako offers Choi some mochi but Choi turns it down. Sadness for all.

Never accept a blanket from a stranger!

Tamako tries to take Choi out to a street restaurant but soon all the venders show up to give all their crap away for free. Choi is overwhelmed and decides this is all a trick as well. Then the vendors assume the girl has had a rough life and excuse her behavior. Choi tries to use Dera to see the future to get people off her back but her very......lame vision comes true because the vendors decide it applies. The girls then go to the bathhouse later. Dera decides to not spy as he values his life. Choi almost drowns in the bath but the girls save her. Choi curses her luck as now she has to repay everyone for their kindness. She sets up shop telling fortunes. She makes vague ones at first that seem to apply to any situation. The meat vendor is then told his love interest will end badly for him. He looks a little sad, especially when the bunny girl bath house person comes along and is told her love life will be fine. She plans on getting married soon and everyone rejoices. The meat vendor is sad as the bath girl was the one he liked. That night the bath house is closed as the father has to be all sad and such his little girl is getting married. That means everyone has to bathe at home. Choi almost drowns as she was thinking about her love interest the Prince. Tamako sets to work taking care of the girl. Choi is touched and then realizes Dera is a lying piece of crap. She beats him up and all seems well in the world. Later Choi tries mochi and declares it tasty. She and Tamako walk down the street where Choi asks if she can stay long enough to fix Dera. Tamako wants Choi to stay forever and offers to help find a bride for the Prince. Suddenly Choi looks at Tamako, as if Tamako would be the perfect bride. THE END!

Eat buckets of ice cream instead!

Is mochi bad for you? Is it a good nutritional food? I ask because Dera has gained like 50 pounds and needs to be on the Biggest Loser and that is all Tamako eats. I am worried we are going to have to wheel her to the hospital soon for various reasons.

Thanks for breaking into our house last night weee!

I am pretty sure that a requirement for living on this street is that you have to be missing part of your brain. Because instead of calling the police or beating Choi with a baseball bat they give her a room to stay in and breakfast. Do they not lock their doors in Japan?! Strange girl in your house! But since this is a feel good anime we must hug all the random people that come our way. Save the killing for other animes yes?

I don't think that will make him fly any better.

Dera was suffering so in this episode. As he should be. He has been in this town for over 6 months yes? Well besides the fact that he has gotten so fat he can't fly he hasn't been doing his job. Now people might be questioning why they sent just Dera and not Choi with him so they could get the job done faster with her powers. Oh and the fact that Dera is a bird. Plus the fact that Choi probably wants to be the bride. But yes Dera deserved to be yelled at. He didn't do his job!!!!!

Such a tasty 10 pack of nuggets.

But Dera should have birded up and told Choi the truth. Choi seems a bit sheltered so it is understandable that she fell for his obvious lie. Dera! You is a liar. You are busy throwing pepper in girl's faces so they sneeze on you. While you build your harem up you are passing the time eating everything you see. But no you have to blame your faults on other people.

And then Tamako dies.

Clueless Tamako didn't do herself any favors though. She is constantly handing out mochi like people are starving for it. And if people don't like it she is personally offended. Like if Tamako is the one who invented mochi. Tamako is really trying to take over the world one treat at a time. So no wonder Choi really thought Dera was telling the truth. TRICKER!

Personal space please!!!!!

How does anyone on this street stay in business? Here have this. Oh you are friends with Tamako? Have two! Part of business is charging people a fair price for goods and services. I think anyway. But if everyone is giving away things free no wonder Tamako is constantly worried for the street. Get back to your stores and sell. Stop stalking Tamako you crazy people!!!

I shall tell your future...but I hate you! XD

I like how Choi said she was suspicious of everyone but kept doing things with them. I got my eye on you Tamako...but I will go to the baths with you. Everyone made Dera fat...but I will tell your fortunes to pay back debt. Silly Choi. You should have taken Dera and ran for the hills. Can't stay with people you don't trust. Plus...don't you have a mission to complete?

This doesn't look like the face of a girl in love with you dude.

As for the fortune telling...I am not sure how she was using Dera nor if she has actual powers. A lot of the fortunes seem to go with what was already going on or were applied to situations after the fact. I sense that someone has lost someone in the audience...someone old. I did feel bad for the meat guy. :( I mean it is possible that the bunny bath girl was talking about him. She could be the crazy type that plans a wedding without telling the groom. But I am not sure. She didn't say why are you wishing me happiness, we are the ones getting married. So that was a bit sad. :( Woe is him.

Don't listen to her lies!

Despite the fact that Choi was trying to act all big and bad she is just a kid in a strange place all alone. Can't the Prince find a bride on his own island?! But yeah Choi was having a tough time adjusting to being away from home and probably having to deal with the fact completing her mission will only bring her sadness. But since Choi was feeling down Tamako stepped up to cheer her up. Because that is the Tamako way!

Tamako is the most specialest girl ever!

And that is how the episode ends. Choi realizes that Dera is a lying sack of crap and that mochi is wonderful. And that Tamako is the nicest person that ever lived. Choi gets to stay as long as she wants as she fixes Dera's communication device (because he is bird robot) plus Tamako might be the one! The bride she is searching for. Which will be bad news for several people yes? XO What will happen next folks? Will Dera lose the weight and keep it off? Will there be a mochi shortage in the world? Who knows. Who knows indeed.

Zetsuen no Tempest episode 19

More anime posts yay! Just a warning though I may or may not go out of town for a few days to do some family bonding with the husband's family. Maybe. The husband hasn't decided yet and has apparently will make up his mind the morning of said travel day. How special is that? XD

Hi I'm here to drive you crazy weee!

So if I am going to go out of town for two days or more I need to catch up with as many episodes as I can now yes? So here is another. Zetsuen no Temptest episode 19 time. Spoilers for Mahiro and Yoshino going face to face!

Why are you still here?!?!?!?

Episode Summary: Yoshino and Mahiro walk around the city, lost in their own thoughts about meeting up with the other. On all the TVs ever the news is on, talking about both mages. Hakaze has been giving her wish and is the Dancing Princess. She regularly appears where Megumu is, appearing to fight him while also summoning up the fruit. Hakaze has told the group it is out of effort to train Megumu but it doesn't make the situation any less stressful. Evangeline is useless again traveling around with some of the boys, talking about how they have 99 problems when BAM Hakaze and her in love self arrives. Evangeline senses her chance to be part of the plot and goes out with Hakaze to see what is up. Hakaze acknowledges that all signs point to yes, Yoshino might be the other part of the Exodus mage but they have no proof. She wants to hear more about Evangeline and the aliens. There actually isn't much to the theory, just that aliens sent out weapons of mass destruction in the form of evil trees to keep civilizations in check. Hakaze points out the many flaws in the theory, including her own existence. But Hakaze does admit the trees do seem out of this world. Evangeline uses this conversation to see how crazy in love Hakaze is and comes to the conclusion she would do anything for love. Samon is busy trying to not shoot himself in the head while the Princess' new act has people doubting the government and what to do with the trees.

Of course we need to be reminded all the time that Samon suffers so.

While the fate of the world hangs in the balance Mahiro is out walking near graves and thinking about Aika. A walk down memory lane shows us that Mahiro took offense to the way Aika looked sloppy and would never get a boyfriend that way. Of course Aika just smiles and in the present Mahiro decides talking to dead people is stupid and goes to walk home. Only Yoshino has made his way to the graveyard too. An epic battle 18 episodes in making then takes place, with Mahiro smashing out all of Yoshino's teeth for lying to him and dating Hakaze behind his back. Both sets of trees begin to glow as Yoshino fades away. OR OR OR Mahiro asks if Yoshino was the boyfriend and Yoshino says yes. Then the two calmly talk about the situation and Mahiro realizes he has no right to be upset at Yoshino. Elsewhere Samon is told that Mahiro and Yoshino are basically going out now and have moved in together. Samon attempts to crash the car into the guard rail because there is nothing left to live for at this point. At the apartment things are getting rather hectic. Hakaze, Mahiro, and Yoshino talk freely about Aika and Hakaze is all flirty and Megumu leaves the house because things just got really special. Only when Yoshino goes to do the dishes Mahiro and Hakaze get more serious. Hakaze talks about how Aika might be dead because of her and that Yoshino hasn't moved on from Aika. Mahiro talks about how he really doesn't care about the fate of the world and how Hakaze only wants to save Yoshino. Evangeline goes outside to talk to Megumu. He seems to be very confused on who is right in this situation. Evangeline points out that every one of those assholes can't be trusted and that Megumu should follow his own heart. But probably save the world. THE END!

Eff your kisses!

What.....what what that?! Where is that star trek picture, with Professor X going what is this shit?! Something like that anyway. That about sums up my face right now.

Everybody hurtssssssss

It felt like a music video, the first part of the episode. Mahiro and Yoshino walking around the city, not being able to see the other. Our hearts can't become one, we keep missing each other. Can't you hear the music in the background? So tragic. So much tragic all over the place.

Just an update that things still suck. Just throwing that out there.

Meanwhile the rest of the world is in chaos. Or should be in chaos. I guess these scenes are necessary, how consumed Mahiro and Yoshino are over someone who died a year ago. Which I guess makes sense. It seems to be easy, to be Samon and focus on saving the most people. But if you are stuck in your grief it is hard to think about others. And sometimes one person can be your whole world. So while it seems odd to feel that bad for Aika and Yoshino losing one person a year ago when 2 billion people died within a month...this show is all about small things trickling up to world wide events.

Just seems super off yes?

I am not sure what is up with Hakaze appearing to “train” Megumu. Maybe I miss the point of that. I thought she was going to test the tree, to see if it would allow her to destroy it. I suppose that could be happening, that Hakaze is training Megumu to take out the tree when it is time. But she could be doing that in private. And it appears to everyone she is trying to protect the tree. So maybe there will be something else to her plan but for now it is doing more harm than good. Samon might start losing his lovely hair at this point. Wrinkles all over the place.

How were we supposed to get that message aliens?

Hakaze is unable to show up anywhere like a normal person. Which is fine with everyone else. I thought that Evangeline was going to say something really amazing, something much more than aliens hate us. But that is basically all she said. Granted these are some messed up and well thought out alien plans but come on. Aliens sent the tree/s to keep our population from getting out of control. No visitors in space! While the idea wasn't that shocking Evangeline said some smart things, that magic is just an advanced form of science and the offerings the mages use are testing to see how advanced we really are. Hakaze is like that's nice but way too out there. Killer trees and fruits turning people into metal makes sense but not alien trees. DUH!

Why are we talking about Yoshino? Because you always bring him up!

So while the alien talk didn't go over well Evangeline did get a chance to gauge the crazy within Hakaze. Which was probably why Hakaze talked about her plan to begin with. So few girls to talk about their problems with. I think that we can safely say that Hakaze is a normal teenage girl. She is in love with a boy and is on a rollarcoaster full of emotion. She wants to do the right thing but then she wants to go to the mall and buy a cute outfit to impress a boy. She says that Yoshino is not controlling her and truly he isn't. It's her heart that is controlling her, Yoshino is just the object of her affections. Just all the boys fail to see that and want to make Yoshino part two of the Mage of Exodus to make things more dramatic.

So girls have to be super cute even when lounging at home? I see.

The flash back of Aika this week did not include the mention of a book. Can we write this down or something? Although the flashback wasn't very interesting either. Just Mahiro being special and telling to look more hot so she can get a boyfriend even though he has told her before not to get a boyfriend. It really was nothing, a small thing to show how out of touch Mahiro was with his own feelings.

Behold the fight!!!!

I really, really, REALLY thought that the epic conclusion of this show was going to be Mahiro asking Yoshino who the boyfriend was and that the fate of the world was going to hinge on that. Like the final moment, two young boys deciding which way things went. Instead of a magic fight with Aika revealing herself at the very end we got a...meh. Meh. You her boyfriend? Yeah what of it? Nothing lets sit down and have these cold snacks/drinks you bought us. It was nothing like I was expecting.

I wouldn't go as far to say you're nothing but....

Which I guess could be a good thing. At some point Mahiro was going to have to face the truth and the world ending on his crazy emotions would be lame. Mahiro was in love with his sister, didn't know it, and by all accounts wasn't even a nice person. Mahiro took a minute to listen and absorb the information. He didn't treat Aika very nice, he didn't try to connect with her, and gave Yoshino the impression boyfriends would be killed under his watch. So everything that happened was his fault. And instead of being his normal self he was mature and decided...it is what it is. I think Yoshino was a bit shocked with all this too. Are they going to be friends after this? Time will tell...

How are you teenagers messing things up this bad?!

Can we talk about Samon for a minute? Because this poor guy has been so much. Plans things out over many years, the word boyfriend has plagued him, and now their headquarters is being filled with insane people acting like the world won't end without their assistance. Crash into the guard rail Samon, you have earned it.

Just too much crazy?

Things got a little crazy at home. At first I thought I was watching a slice of life anime. Like let's share rooms and lets play fight. The way they talked about Aika was off too. Like weren't you all crying over her 5 seconds ago? But after that minute of fun the real feelings came out. Hakaze is putting on a show, she knows that Aika is the love of Yoshino's life. Mahiro might not have beaten Yoshino's face in but he still wants revenge. And Hakaze is going to save the world for Yoshino, something that might be a bad thing.

If two are going to be crazy I'm going outside and swinging!

Poor Megumu. He is like get me out of here, you insane people. I guess that Evangeline is the sanest person in the house but still. Megumu and her are really on the outside, looking in. Megumu has to be there but Evangeline just seems bored. Maybe she is the mage herself. But I can see why Megumu is confused on who to believe. There is a great deal of insanity going on and when dead people and crushes are controlling the fate of the world I might want to back off the superhero deal too.

Megumu just wants his girlfriend back so I guess in the end he's crazy too.

The episode ends with Hakaze saying HEY time to focus. We are going to find out who killed Aika. And in which room. And with what weapon. Hakaze has decided she will do all of this and find out why the trees are here...by going back in time. So instead of seeing flashbacks with Aika we can really see her! Now the question is...if Hakaze can go back in time to see Hakaze why wouldn't she save the girl? Oh because of what happened to her on the island, a time paradox? HMMMMMMM!

Psycho-Pass episode 17

Hello there my lovely readers. This was supposed to be up and blogged last night but I got slightly distracted. Story of my life. But my house is lovely and clean now. It shall last for 5 seconds as apparently we have 6 children I don't know about. But for the moment clean. Time to blog anime

The under statment of the year.

What episode is up now? Psycho-Pass episode 17. Spoilers for Granny spilling the beans on what the system actually is. Also spoilers for spelling Sybil any way she wants to.

Also we hate Akane yes?

Episode Summary: The riots have ended and the popo are slowly putting things back together. Ginoza pretends that capturing Shougo was no big deal as he focuses on the fact that Shuusei is missing. Considering another Enforcer escaped during the riots it is assumed that Shuusei did too. Still the search goes on for him. Many people are in need of medical assistance after witnessing and taking part of all the crime. Ginoza watches public places be turned into make shift hospitals and Yayoi comments that Shougo had such a long reach. Ginoza is called to talk to Granny where he is told their department has lost jurisdiction over Shougo. Ginoza gets pissed but Granny explains that the Ministry of Welfare has to take care of this matter, mainly because things like evidence are a forgotten art. Ginoza goes on his way, warned that it is his fault Shuusei has disappeared. Akane and Shinya are recovering from their injuries in the hospital. Shinya takes this time to not bash Akane's head in with at wrench. Instead the two talk about how the Sybil system really isn't perfect and the public just has to think so. But what will happen to Shougo? Will he see justice? It looks like Akane is having second thoughts on the entire matter. Later in the episode Ginoza tells the team about how they lost jurisdiction over Shougo which goes well with no one. Instead Ginoza pretends like Shuusei really did run away and finding him is the most important thing ever. Everyone does go out and look for him but Shinya thinks that Shuusei was probably killed with a Dominator set on to Star Trek phaser kill level.

Is Shougo trying to be sexy?

Elsewhere Shougo wakes up to see Granny staring at him. Granny is pretty familiar with Shougo and Shougo is like um I don't know you old lady. Granny returns to Shougo a book she borrowed three years ago and when Shougo looks at it his mind is blown. Is that you my old friend Touma? Granny confirms that it is Touma and sorta not Touma. She throws Shougo Choe's cellphone so Shougo can see Choe's last moments. Oh and the fact that the legendary Sybil system is a room full of brains! BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINS! Granny explains that this body can be used by any brain the Sybil system and that Touma is just present right now. That the Sybil system is a bunch of brains used at once to determine the likelihood of someone going crazy on people. And that to become apart of this network one must be a unique thinker, like Touma and Shougo. So can't you see how amazing this is and join us? Shougo is like um no crazy bitch and proceeds to throw Granny all over the room. Granny is surprised that Shougo won't join them but Shougo explains he isn't a sheep. He manages to crash the helicopter that was transporting him, probably to remove his brain. Shinya was busy working out and daydreaming of punching Shougo in the face when Shougo calls him. Shougo tells Shinya the Sybil program is not worth dying over. Shougo tries to trace the call but Ginoza is like yeah did you know Shougo escaped from capture? DUH! The end!

Shougo is not down for this system. Clearly.

I just want it to be known that I had planned on blogging two more anime episodes Monday night before I went to bed. But I just had to find out what Choe saw in the room so I decided to watch more anime instead. But as long as things get posted that is all that matters yes?

Brains? Are you serious?!

BRAINS! Like literally brains! But not the Andrea use your BRAINS kind from The Walking Dead. Which you know I am very upset about still. I should make a post about that. Everyone watches The Walking Dead right? I assume that everyone is team Daryl. If you aren't just don't be team Andrea and we will get along. Well unless you are team Comic Andrea.

Eff the helmet men. BRAINS!

Back to what I was saying though. BRAINS! It was brains. Well I got my answer. I actually thought to myself I really should have posted the other two anime episodes first because I doubt we are going to answers in the next episode. It will just be the team licking their wounds and Japan recovering from all this drama. But we did find out. BRAINS!

Akane....no one has ever accused you of being smart. Ever.

The team did spend some time trying to digest what happened. I thought that Shinya was going to stab Akane in the face. Well at least glare at her or something. She didn't do what he asked her to do, what she should have done. Shinya really deserved the killing blow but maybe watching Akane do it would make him feel better. Now Shinya is just...well not mad. I would say he is in love with her and he allows her to get away with everything but that is not the case either. I don't know what his problem is. He must be so focused on hating and killing Shougo that he has decided it's okay that Akane didn't Shougo because now he can do it. But both were able to bond over the fact that the system is flawed and can things really go back to normal?

Ginoza dying would probably be the best for him yes? All I can see if bad for him in the future.

I am not saying that cyborgs shouldn't have rights. I am just saying it was hard to focus on Granny talking to Ginoza without gagging. Still it is amusing or shocking to see how Granny has Ginoza fooled. I wonder how many people know the truth about Granny. Can't be too many people because HAHA that would be horrible. I like how Granny gave Ginoza one two punch. Like nope you guys don't get to proof that Shougo did all these crimes AND you are responsible for Shuusei disappearing. Both are upsetting to Ginoza and really if he ever learns the truth about Shuusei is will be like a third punch. Poor Ginoza.

Yep......we are probably standing on Shuusei right now.

The team was not happy with the news but really what can they do? Most of them are latent criminals and have less rights than hamsters. Akane doesn't have the best track record and has a hard time doing what she wants to do. So walk around town and see how the city is trying to piece itself back together is all they really could do. Again I am wondering how things were brought back from that level of rioting. Although I do wish that Shinya would have shown a bit more emotion when talking about dead Shuusei. :( Poor kid.

Well that and in this series has cool guns.

I said earlier in the series that this show was a lot like Minority Report, staring a less crazy Tom Cruise. Now after the reveal....it is almost exactly like the Minority Report. Only they used special people to do the judging/seeing of the future and people seem to be aware of this fact. So while I am all going BRAINS I was really like.....oh X___X Well then. I see.

......I think being an Enforcer is looking slightly better.

I guess deep down it doesn't matter how the system was being done. It was made up science. So I am not going to focus on how brains can be kept functioning and scan people and see their souls and figure out their likelihood of committing crimes. That we are supposed to focus on the fact all of their society is being lied to. Lots of lies. Tons of lies. They are being told not to worry, machines can do the judging. Human flaws have been removed from the situation. But in fact humans judged to be DANGEROUS by the system are the ones judging it. Crazy times.

MOG the grossest part of the episode!

I am a bit disappointed that Touma is the one in the Granny suit and he is not Akane. There is still a reason why this girl was chosen to be a popo but I really thought she was a repurposed Touma. I guess Touma being one of the people telling Shinya what to do is a fun surprise too. I am just shocked how clam Shougo was about all of this. Not sure why I am shocked, he should have been a little upset. Maybe he was upset on the inside.

This would be Shougo giving Granny his answer.

I am not sure why Granny/Touma thought that Shougo was going to join their side. Like I really don't know why someone who wanted to destroy the system would say YES turn me into a jar brain and make me apart of the system. If anything this would make Shougo more likely to destroy the system. Did Touma not know Shougo at all?

Sorry I'm late for our date sweetie!

In the end Shougo takes down the plane and gives his friend Shinya a little head's up. He didn't exactly explain what the system was but it was enough information to get Shinya on the right path. This leads me to believe that Ginoza is next on the chopping block! Of course that means Daddy will die to save Ginoza but still. Ready for the insanity? Or did we already use all the insane?

Psycho-Pass episode 16

Won't have much to smile about in a few minutes. :(

About to head out to dinner and movie!!! Social life? Me? Craziness. Here is one more anime post before I am gone for most of the evening weee! Psycho-Pass episode 16. Spoilers for death!

So much planning.

Episode Summary: Shougo and Choe take a moment to go WOOHOO we broke into the building. They still haven't located where the Sybil system is. Choe figures knowing the energy output the system is either at the top of the building or the bottom. Choe guesses it is probably in the uncharted basement as the top is probably just the radio tower. Shougo says he wants to go to the top as he knows Shinya is on the way and will be bait. Team Shinya, Akane, and Shuusei make it to the building where they see it has been broken into. They inform Ginoza of what is going on. He acknowledges that Shinya is the best ever but they (Team Ginoza) need to stay on the outside fighting the riots. He orders them to capture Shougo alive as that is Granny's orders. Shougo is like psht okay and asks Shion for help locating the assholes. Shion tells them about the uncharted basement and roof. Shinya and Akane take the roof as Shuusei puts on a red shirt and tells them he will be right back. He makes his way through the charted basement and finds where the assholes broke in. Once he enters those areas he is unable to communicate with Shion or anyone else. He is quickly attacked by one of the intruders as his Dominator doesn't work this far in. He takes out the guy and steals his nail gun and communicator that works with the one Choe is holding. Shuusei and Choe have a heart to heart where Shuusei confesses he really isn't crying for all the people dying outside. That he hates the Sybil system just as much as any other latent criminal but that doesn't mean Choe doesn't suck too. Shuusei tells Choe to hurry up and destroy the system before he gets down there and kills. Choe is pretty amused.

Why aren't you perfect Shinya?!?!?

Meanwhile Akane and Shinya are making their way upstairs via the droids elevator. Shinya points out they won't be able to use their Dominators because of Akane but haha Shinya has a plan. He hands Akane a helmet and they are good to go. Only when they come across their first opponent they are unable to shoot them. Akane is slightly injured but Shinya takes out the guy. Shinya gets pissed with himself as he forgot that Shougo has a crystal clear number. Akane tends to her wounds and tells Shinya to go on his way. The scenes from episode 1 take place, with Shinya takes out people near the red stairs and Shougo dramatically making his way down the stairs. The two exchange some quoted words then start bashing each other in. Due to prior injuries Shinya does really bad and slightly disappoints Shougo who really wanted to tell him about the Sybil secrets. Right before Shougo takes out Shinya Akane appears and knocks him out with her helmet. Shinya screams at Akane to kill Shougo and she nearly does with images of her dead friend flying around in her head. But in the end she arrests him instead because she is a good cop. Shuusei makes his injury self down to where Choe is, taking out the other two guys. Choe has orgasmed all over himself, saying they don't even need to take out the Sybil system. That merely taking pictures of it will cause the entire city to riot. Granny appears out of nowhere and shoots Choe. He dies but not before he shots at her, revealing to Shuusei that she is a cyborg. She points her Dominator at him but she seems to change the gun to lethal mood. Shuusei realizes this and strikes an Aw Hell Look before THE END!

That's what I'm saying!

XO Why Shuusei?! WHY?! I told you not to go along with the two main characters but you just couldn't help yourself. :( Woe is me.

I think Ginoza has seen this list and that is why he is pissed all the time.

But before that....is there a running list of how many times Shinya has been right and how many times Ginoza has been right? I am going to assume the Ginoza side of the list is rather short. It's almost like Ginoza realizes this too but is so stuck in being right himself he can't acknowledge it. Can't the man just say sorry? Or better yet not be put in positions to say sorry? Just listen to Shinya. Dear lord.

I got this covered, thanks.

Is Shougo a QueerRat? He seems to have all this insanity planned out to a T. Of course I am sure that Choe has done a lot of the work too. Can't take him out of the equation. But the system is in this building. It is probably in the basement. The cops are coming and Shinya is probably leading the charge. He will go after me and he knows I am leading him into a trap. Go do what you do Choe. Indeed. I am surprised that Choe didn't say something cheesy like “It was a pleasure serving with you sir”.

Well....that is the end of Shuusei.

Shuusei....when Akane and Ginoza went upstairs I was like well game over. Of course in episode 1 we didn't see Akane either so that didn't mean she was automatically safe. But yeah. With Shuusei saying run them down last episode and him volunteering to go off alone we knew his number was up. Which is a shame since we didn't get to see his sad back story at all. I call foul on that! So unfair.

I will kill you all because everyone sucks!

But Shuusei sorta went out in his own way. He took out three of the men by himself where Akane was injured on her first one. And Shuusei was able to express how he really felt about the system. Throughout the series Shuusei has been the the laid back one. Like meh so what if I am a latent criminal. But Shuusei has the most reason to be mad. Not Choe who chose to live here. So Shuusei can be pissed at everyone and it can be okay. Get them all!

Look at me being amazing!!!!

I was all cheering for Shinya with his helmet for Akane idea. His confidence and propensity to be right all the time made me forget that he is actually a human being and can forget things when caught up in the moment. That mistake could have cost Akane her life. Thankfully she was not wearing a red shirt and was just side tracked while Shinya traveled onwards to fight his archenemy while meeting him for the first time.

I think they talked more than they fought.

I really thought that Shinya and Shougo were going to have a longer, drawn out fight. That they were pretty much equal. But Shinya has been through a lot lately while Shougo just walks away from the drama. I thought maybe while Shougo was leaning over Shinya before the death blow he could have whispered in his ear what the Sybil system was all about.

DO IT!

I think Akane and her helmet smashing was a bit hardcore. She was like BAM pay attention to me bitches. Shinya screamed at her to kill Shougo but given how many episodes are left in this series that wasn't going to happen folks. I thought she should have hit him one more time and then looked at his bloody face and stop. Akane really can't go against her “programming” no matter how obvious her choice should be. Shougo can't be tracked by the Sybil system. He killed your friend. He caused all this chaos and death. End it all before something else happens.

And whatever else this is. Something and this. And that.

The something else of course is Granny is a cyborg. I knew she looked way too odd when thinking of/talking about Shougo. Like look at those crazy eyes. But come on Granny. I wanted to see that the Sybil system is really just a box in a well protected room and NO ONE is behind it. Or maybe it is the man behind the curtain. Quick hide from the monkeys. I think Choe was okay with dying since he got to know the truth but Shuusei. Man.....

Um...Granny has looked better.

So what is going on? Is Granny a cyborg or a robot? What is in that room? How many minutes will it take Akane to regret her dumb decision to let Shougo live? Let the body count begin!
