Ev...Brent- I think it is just too far of a stretch! Even if this show actually goes into great detail on WHY this is happening it seems so much improbable than all those other shows with little or no evidence to explain this. I mean...basically squids with lazer beams on their head? Where is Mike Myers?! <br /><br />Anonymous- It's like science totally skipped the logical step of robots and went straight to insanity. Like that would be a hard pill to swallow, not having a real body. So yes....a battle against these crazies I understand. <br /><br />Anonymous 2- I think that Ledo was really upset about this news as the enemy was Hideous. ISN'T THAT NAME SO FUNNY HAHA X___X I feel trolled in this anime. But yes Ledo was like squids with lazer beams, bad. The idea of killing...um....no enemy humans might be a hard pill to swallow. But I guess he did kill the pirate humans rather fast. And acknowledges that Bevel would be dead in his world. Maybe Ledo was just having a WFT moment that this was the insane reason behind the war and countless lost lives. Or because it really is so dumb.<br /><br />I think the cute squid girl was harmless. That most of the squidwhales are probably like most animals and that they are okay when not bothered, but to be feared and left alone. If this series had more episodes maybe communication would be possible but for now I think it will focus on Chambers not listening to Ledo and Ledo trying to stop another...insane war. <br /><br />Anonymous 3- I do think this episode was really well done. Just the end result is like....really? REALLY?! Almost like this guy is trying to up himself in terms of animes. Jars of brains, innocent girls really witches, squids with lazer beams? What's next? No seriously where do you go after this? Warriors using babies as bio-fuel?!<br /><br />Anonymous 5- This was a major...episode in this series to say the least. If something super interesting and game changing happens in an episode I try to reflect that in the title, as to stick out to myself upon later review and readers. XD Glad it caught your eye. Don't mind the two fanservice episodes though. But yeah this show was almost a slice of life and maybe Ledo was going to get a happy ending type deal til now. Everything is up in the air but definitely worth watching as it deals with a lot of other issues besides...well squids with lazer beams on their head and boy meets girl. <br /><br />Eternia- I wouldn't be surprised with a bloodbath but I am not going to expect it. Sorta like with M. Night, I can't expect a twist each time. I do appreciate that this show is leaving it up in the air and it could go either way. Not entirely doom and gloom. It might make the death count more interesting. At the very least a few people should die...like Pinion! <br /><br />And at this point these are not human. QueerRats are way more human that these things. Sorry, these crazy people lost their ability to be called such when this was the ONLY great idea they could think of to save the species. Once everyone got into space why the hell continue the war? The gross squids with lazers could go somewhere else and the humans who I might add...are still humans so many years later...in space...so it was all pointless..... could go somewhere else. That means that the Hideauze have lost their humanity, ability to reason/communicate in space, and are the enemy. Fight on Ledo...if you ever return to space. Just leave the earth ones alone as they are not that big of a deal if you leave them be.

I believe that the video that Ledo watched was just a part of the whole story. It ended where the Alliance building a large transportation gate and the Hideauze planning to steal them, no? What happened after that? How come both group ended up 6000 light years away from earth? We have yet to see. Probably. Just probably, in their war to take control of the transportation gate, the Hideauze went even further in playing with lives and genetic mutation. And they are created those space snails from real snails, and that large flower from mutating Rafflesia, lol. They made that so that they can stand a chance against the Galactic Alliance's gundams? We don't think some thin wriggly squid human can win, right?<br /><br />@Tenchi: I am honestly glad with how things turn out. I am waiting for more bloodbath? What if suddenly a huge Hideauze appeared and killed Pinion and Melty and crew? And Ledo escaped back to Gargantia in ragged condition?

If it's yours and your just repeating it here, apologies.<br /><br />Tenchi, I always pick up anime mid-season after one of your epic reviews is too much for me - that's how I picked up Shin Sekai Yori after dropping it early for bad art reasons, looks like I might have to pick up Gargantia?<br /><br />Well done :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785035130297400343.post-29141310910381604962013-06-06T10:03:53.218-04:002013-06-06T10:03:53.218-04:00It wouldn’t be an Urobuchi anime without mass huma...It wouldn’t be an Urobuchi anime without mass human genocide in some form. I thought I prepared my mind and body for it but alas… its not enough.<br /><br />Glad to see the Butcher’s still got it.<br /><br />They're supposed to be evolved, but they appear to be savage beasts and I dare say that's what they are. that leaves us with a basic question of what's better. the ability to invent a space-suit out of necessity or the adaption to space itself? humans won't evolve if they continue to adjust their environment, then again, if evolving means abandoning sapience then I prefer a deadly gun over deadly claws so I won't stand on the wrong side the barrel :) <br /><br />All in all, nice ep Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785035130297400343.post-42966521050569826592013-06-06T10:00:50.290-04:002013-06-06T10:00:50.290-04:00This is almost exactly what I expected once Hideou...This is almost exactly what I expected once Hideous started to pop up on Earth. XD Kinda funny how he suddenly minds killing them once he finds out they're people. He ought to have noticed they are intelligent, too, but he probably suppressed the knowledge. Then again, those Earth-Type Hideous might actually not be intelligent on a high level judging from their behavior and lack of technology use, but now that they started with it, we'll be sure to see a communication with them that proves they really are intelligent soon. <br /><br />I liked this episode. I think it crushed her (the squ. girl) to preseve the installed programming of his protocol. Its too bad she died, the anthropomorphic. There very well could be more like her. I wonder if Ledo will become a changed being because of this, or has become changed. When we all started watching this anime Ledo was not emotionally tied he was more of a battle dog, but, now he shows a quality of earth/terra human trait the emotion or feelings. This episode also allowed me to understand how things came to be. I have come to the conclusion that this is some type of activist anime. The squid-hybrid has my mind in wonder though:- Was she harmless? Did she approach in hopes for a better coexistence? Did the ones in space loose their reason for being in space? could this mean that the "victims whom were ingested were really being morphed?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785035130297400343.post-17605046170673808502013-06-06T09:56:39.257-04:002013-06-06T09:56:39.257-04:00OH.
