Karneval episode 5: Something is off...

Hello there my lovely readers! It has finally stopped raining in my neck of the woods. I think it rained straight for 4 days. Roads were flooded, ditches filled to the brim. Yet people still think that we can deliver a pizza to them as if we have a boat service or something. Like um it will be 90 minutes take it or leave it? SO much crazy in the world.

The episode of standing.
Sunshine time though. Also anime. 3 days in the making this episode. Karneval episode 5 to be precise. Spoilers for....um...weirdness?
 photo karnevalepisode53_zps9b6bea98.jpg
"family"?
Episode Summary: Yotaka continues to lick the blood off his fingers while everyone looks on in shock. Gareki thinks that he can reason with the boy while Yogi is like um no and uses his bouncing around magic to keep them from being destroyed. While Gareki is being protected a series of flashbacks are shown that Gareki was not really down for the family. He liked Tsubaki (who named him) just fine but he tended to ignore the twins. He stayed to himself even though Tsubame kept trying to bring him into the family. Yotaka always looked at him with suspicious eyes though. During some undetermined time Yotaka had caught Gareki off doing something dangerous with a gun. Yotaka tried to get Gareki to come back home but Gareki manhandles him and says they were never siblings. Yotaka leaves upset and Gareki sees that the boy had brought food with him. Back in the present Yogi has manged to get everyone to safety but tells Gareki and Nai to run anyway. Gareki doesn't want to leave but it is clear that Yotaka is out for blood and Gareki is making it worse. Yogi and the semi transformed Yotaka take to the sky to battle. Yogi himself thinks that maybe he can save the kid since he is only partial transformed. Yotaka proves to be very powerful himself as Yogi never ever wants to fight. Nai is sorta standing there wondering why they are not okay when Gareki tells Nai to hide himself. Nai says he wants to go with Gareki to ensure he doesn't break. Gareki gives Nai his jacket and says that Nai wants to find Karoku and he must stay alive and use Circus to do so. Gareki runs off with his weird shirt to help Yogi and or find Tsubame. Nai sorta...stands there some more until his ears pick up something weird. Tsubame has woken up and is covered in blood again. A man approaches her just as Nai finds her. Nai somehow....beats the man unconscious and runs off with Tsubame. They decide that they have run far enough and stop to have a serious conversation. Like hey things are bad and Gareki is trying his best. Tsubame starts to get sad but Nai tries to cheer her up, saying she is pretty and not a monster. It is almost an AWE moment..until creepy guy shows up again, surprising Nai and Tsubame.

Look at me being evil and stuff.
Gareki is racing to the battle between Yogi and Yotaka, thinking to himself he left these twins behind so they would be safe and look how things turned out. Gareki gets there just in time to see Yogi crash into the ground defeated. He put up a great fight but Yotaka transformed more into a Varuga Gareki and Yotaka have a stare down, Yotaka obviously pissed at what has happened in the past. Creepy guy shows up with Nai and Tsubame in tow. Creepy guy starts talking to Yotaka and it is revealed that creepy guy is the one who gave the twins the medicine and that the first time Yotaka transformed into a Varuga he accidentally killed Tsubaki. It also comes out that Yotaka realized what was in the food and took Tsubame's share, explaining why she is not a monster. Creepy man commands Yotaka to kill everyone but he refuses, as Tsubame's presence is keeping Yotaka grounded in humanity. Creepy man tries to blame Tsubaki's death on Yotaka but Gareki says he is the real killer. Well it turns out that Creepy man is also a Varuga and has been using the twins for some other reason and goes to attack...well everyone because they are just standing around. Yogi manages to get up and protect the group from the Creepy man but he has just wounded the beast. Creepy man starts cackling that Yotaka will never become human again and HAHAHA his plans. Yotaka begs Gareki to kill him. At first Gareki is really against the idea of killing his family but sees that Yotaka trusts in him. He picks up one of Yogi's swords and...Hirato comes out of nowhere killing Yotaka who dies in a smiling sparkle haze. Tsubame is clearly upset and everyone...stands around again. THE END!
 photo karnevalepisode510_zps4b04291c.jpg
Um...the people around her are the ones in danger, not her.
Well this episode....was weird. And I think my summary is off. Probably because I watched this episode Thursday night but was too tired to blog about it Friday. :( Hopefully my memory isn't that bad....
 photo karnevalepisode59_zps41dfe046.jpg
I am turning into a monster CARE NOW!
But yes this episode is off. I don't really know if the manga is different but I really don't care about the twins. I barely know Gareki and I am supposed to care about these random kids that barely got any screen time? I mean of COURSE deep down Gareki cares about these people and was just being an asshole to protect them. But Tsubame barely comes out of nowhere to say she killed someone and we are supposed to care about her and her brother? Just...I wasn't feeling the emotions behind it.
 photo karnevalepisode55_zps1b448009.jpg
Look how much I don't care about you.
Gareki wasn't helping matters either. He is hard to read at times. I know it was supposed to come across as him trying to be hard and tough even though deep down he cared about his adopted family. I don't know, this series seems complicated and full enough without meeting Gareki's family in episode 4 and killing some of them off at the end of episode 5.Almost like they are trying to force a reason on Gareki for staying with Circus. I think that Nai being there was strong enough but apparently we needed more. Cue the sad back story and Varuga monsters taking all that Gareki loves. Motivation!!!
 photo karnevalepisode54_zps34582d19.jpg
So much closeness.
Through all the flashbacks we saw just how close....Gareki was with the twins. I mean clearly it was Tsubame driving the lets be friends and family bus. Yotaka was there to make his sister happy. I am assuming that once your parents sell you off you become cut off from FEELING and Gareki was down for family number 2. Maybe that is where the disconnect is. We are SHOWN that they were not close but deep down everyone wanted to be family because they are telling us. Me thinks we got cut short on this plot. That and Yotaka meeting up with Gareki later in life seemed out of place. Like that was supposed to show us the Gareki being tough and protecting his family when really...there was no grounds for this to happen. Rushed.
 photo karnevalepisode58_zps1e8b6533.jpg
Save him? Save yourself first!
As funny and...caring as Yogi is...he seems rather useless in battle. Yotaka was only partial transformed and he was getting his ass kicked. Also what happened to working in pairs? Where is our stoic girl of few words? Not there? Well that sounds safe for all involved. But yes...Yogi doesn't have great fighting skills. Or really he doesn't have the will to fight...anything! I mean he wasn't fighting the Varuga last episode well when Gareki was INSIDE of them. So we can't just say Yogi doesn't want to fight Yotaka because it would make Gareki sad. Since we don't know much about Varuga we can't really say if someone can come back from this but...Yogi seemed confused or doubtful about the situation. Like oh you can come back from it if it's only a partial transformation.
 photo karnevalepisode513_zps7f38a1ca.jpg
Does this really matter? Confused.
I guess I feel that way because we don't know much about Varuga. I mean...why were some people trying to force evolution anyway? I need to know more of this history, why Circus is involved and are the members of Circus also Varuga but more controlled ones? And why are Varuga trying to make more Varuga, the twins? It just seemed odd. Mr. Creepy wanted to see what would happen with twins? Like this was actually scientific and it could help him out somehow. I don't know, weird.
 photo karnevalepisode56_zps580e6496.jpg
I need attention! Don't leave me!
Nai was Nai this episode. Like for real. Stay here. He is the worse dog ever. Or bunny dragon thing. I think in the long run it would be better to take Nai WITH whoever is around and then telling him to stay low. Granted he will probably not listen to that either but at least you can see the danger that he is in. Instead Nai is off finding trouble on his own. Oh hi Tsubame. Where are all these people that the twins are eating?! I think it is funny that Mr. Creepy was able to find them so fast and apparently....was able to pretend that Nai was able to take him out. As if. But you look pretty Tsubame, it doesn't matter that you ate people.
 photo karnevalepisode511_zps4920bcf9.jpg
Don't mind the unconscious Yogi over here.
So besides all these flashbacks a lot of the episode was dedicated to...standing around. Like someone is talking we can't move at all. We all must stand around and watch and hear the bad thing happen. When it is our turn to move we shall move. I just think there should have been a lot more chaos and mayhem going on. People trying to break away, someone checking on Yogi, and trying to get Tsubame away from her twin who is looking pretty harsh. Just so much standing around in this episode.
 photo karnevalepisode514_zpsc3a6e83f.jpg
Well this would probably be sad...if we knew the twins better.
In the end it is Hirato who saved the day. Like BAM I will take out Yotaka so Gareki doesn't have to have the guilt. Which was nice, even if Gareki and his weird shirt was about to do it. But still he was able to do something harsh even if that meant Mr. Creepy got away. Like hello what is up with everyone NOT PAYING ATTENTION. This episode was just off to me thus it took me forever to write it up and I am sure none of it makes sense. Maybe next time. X___X

I'm a Jedi...or at least my mom thinks so. XD
Hello there Star Wars fans! Today and yesterday are apparently fan made Star Wars days. And since my Duffy has a Star Wars outfit...well it is time to snap some pictures of him. That is what cute clothes are for yes? Now if only my Star Wars knowledge wasn't limited to 10 minutes of all 6 movies....

So mom thought you were Darth Vader but clearly you are not. You are the other guy....with a snow shovel!

I don't think I can fit in that plane.

Arata Kangatari episode 4

Rain. Rain all day! X___X Rain means deliveries which means rude people for some reason. Like oh it's pouring down rain, I need a pizza. But I only have enough money for the pizza. And when the doorbell rings it will take me 5 minutes to dress myself, put the dogs up, and find where the door is. And saying thank you is enough for any driver right? NOT! Haters being hatin...me XO
 photo arataepisode43_zpsfac598fb.jpg
Damn kids these days, crying over being kidnapped and stuff.
Putting aside all the rain...I guess it is anime time XO. XO faces indeed. What is up now? Arata Kangatari episode 4. Spoilers for...MORE TRUST! And me using the wrong name for Hinohara the entire post. In my defense...well not defense but Arata the magical one never shows up there shouldn't be any confusion. Well anymore than usual.
 photo arataepisode4_zpsfc250926.jpg
Always thinking things are his fault that hero of ours.
Episode Summary: Arata continues to look very upset that people he has known for 5 seconds have been sucked up into tubes. Kotoha also looks upset so Arata promises to follow the pipes and save the kids. Oh and protect her at the same time. They run into Osome as they are climbing all over the place. She is happy that he found Kotoha but tells him not to go up against Tsutsuga. They decide to keep going so Osome returns the hair clip to Kotoha and basically implies the two are going out. Kanate and Ginchi wake up in a large room tired up by all the tubes. The voice of Tsutsuga has decided they are criminals and they must die. However if the boys fight to the death the winner will be declared innocent and the dead one the criminal. Ginchi has 125 different levels of freaking out. At first Kanate is upset but when given the choice starts the fight. Kanate starts to have flashbacks of when Ginchi was first kidnapped into the gang and how he was in charge of the kid. Kanate had promised to return the boy to his mother and now he is going to make good on that promise. Arata and Kotoha finally make it to this area and Arata assumes the fight is over not trusting each other and cries man tears. Arata goes down to help but Tsutsuga is unseen. Kanate starts talking crap and Ginchi finally fights back out of anger and lands the killing blow. It then becomes clear that Kanate started the fight so Ginchi could leave and it is all tears. The pipes then snatch up Ginchi saying the boy just committed a crime and it is time to die.
 photo arataepisode49_zpsb182d3e6.jpg
Rather quick visit don't you think?
Arata has been touched by all of this trust and friendship stuff and he tries to save Ginchi. Things are not working too well for him so he begs his god sword to do something. Finally the sword starts to glow and with this sparkle Kanate is healed, a huge hole in the area is created, and all the pipes start to fall apart. Everyone watches as Arata reveals the true form of Tsutsuga. He is basically a stump person with pipes for limbs and his god sword stuck in him. Arata looks at him all pitiful like as Tsutsuga is like screw you. Arata tries to remove the sword but Tsutsuga says it is cursed. Arata is then shown Tsutsuga's past. He was the nice warden on the prison and his best friend accidentally killed a man. Tsutsuga tells the man to repent but he does not. He turns on Tsutsuga and betrays him, ending the battle with stabbing Tsutsuga with his own sword. Tsutsuga is overcome with mistrust and his sword transforms into what you see today. Arata gets really upset and decides it is not going to end this way. Everyone tells Arata to kill the man but instead he removes the sword despite being shown memories of all the mistrust in his life. Tsutsuga is shocked as Arata has removed all the evil from the sword. Kannagi, who was on his way to the island, is shocked to see all this sparkling light and realizes that Arata might be something special. Tsutsuga then recognizes Arata's god sword as the creator sword and submits to it. Tsutsuga becomes one with his sword and it is given to Arata. He welds it and changes the prison and brings back all of those who had been killed before, including Osome's boyfriend. Tsutsuga in spirit form says that Kannagi has arrived and it is time to leave. Kanate is like oh I got a boat let's leave. So....they leave and Kannagi is like is this real life?! THE END!
 photo arataepisode413_zps5a091607.jpg
Also where did this boat come from? X___X
TRUST! All over my face is trust, all over this show is trust. TRUST! It is like a Sesame Street episode this anime. Can it be next week already and we get a new word or something?
 photo arataepisode42_zpsc11e9cdc.jpg
Because you trust me.
While I can appreciate running after kids and making sure they are alive...how did anyone know that the pipes weren't alive? Anything is possible in this crazy world. Yeah the kids did get taken to Tsutsuga but they could have easily been teared apart in those pipes and that is what was in the food given to the prisoners. NOM NOM food.
 photo arataepisode45_zps287ac970.jpg
She is like magical X___X
Osome is everywhere in this prison! Like Arata needs help, she is over here. Arata and Kotoha are running and falling through walls, she is over there. I guess I was wrong about her being the important person Arata was talking to. I am guessing we aren't going to see her after this episode, especially with how things ended. But she got her happy ending and put the seeds of love in Kotoha's mind. Not Arata as he was like SAVE THE KIDS!
 photo arataepisode46_zps557cf08b.jpg
Because these kids haven't suffered enough.
How hardcore was that asshole Tsutsuga? You are sent to this awful prison with a variety of people and live in fear that one day you will be sucked up in a pipe. And if you are chosen you can “live” if you kill the other person you get sucked up with. Like what the hell is your life. Obviously no one was going to make it out alive but the idea of it is pretty harsh. But I guess in Ginchi and Kanate's case it was beyond cruel. Maybe most of the people who get sucked up are strangers and always prove Tsutsuga's point. Like who cares about you, I am out of here!
 photo arataepisode47_zps3bb1b816.jpg
Everything is about Arata weeee!
I think it was pretty clear what Kanate had planned. Even without all the sad flashbacks. Which are sad. We aren't talking Fushigi Yuugi levels of sad yet (I mean did anyone have a family that didn't get destroyed one way or another?) but still poor kidnapped kids. Here you are older so you take care of this kid crying in the corner. But at least for Ginchi...there might be good news! He still has a mom out there. He just has to kill his best friend and hope the insane man lets him go and figure out how to get back home.....
 photo arataepisode48_zpsa04da09e.jpg
The evil man lied?! SHOCKED!
But yes Kanate wanted that little kid to live and had to push him into attacking. Like I have a heart of GOLD I always do the right things. The true villain is the pipe monster. I rescue girls and protect little kids and basically am misunderstood. Arata being Arata he has to stop and look at this nonsense and think back to his own trust issues instead of going to help right away. I really, really wish this bullying was shown better in the anime because I keep screaming GET OVER IT! Clearly something has gone down, why do you automatically have to put yourself in every situation?! XO Everyone is the same BOOHOO!
 photo arataepisode44_zpscf11af2c.jpg
Let me find you so I can kill you!
But then...but then....Arata is able to summon his sword god through the power of love. Because he realized what Kanate was doing for his friend...it touched his soul. Is that how Arata's power is going to work every time? He can't use his powers right away, he has a moment of doubt, and then he realizes...people can trust and be good and POOF he can use his god sword. Because his god sword is slightly more special than everyone else's so it needs more work.
 photo arataepisode410_zpsf26eb0e6.jpg
Finish stumpy off!
So after Arata is able to summon his sword (which apparently has magical powers in just being summoned, not even doing anything) he totally kicked Tsutsuga's awful ass. He chopped all the pipes up and found where the asshole was hiding and after a long drawn out battle Arata was able to defeat Tsutsuga which is no easy feat as Arata is a Sho of 5 seconds and Tsutsuga was a Sho of many years. Down with the awful man that is Tsutsuga who got his kicks out of torturing people for the hell of it.
 photo arataepisode411_zps3f2b0cf8.jpg
The saddest story ever told!
Or...or...or... Tsutsuga has a sad back story too. About trust. TRUST folks. Is that a drinking word for this show or anything? Like really is this going to be everyone's problems? Aren't people just assholes for being assholes? I am not big on people blaming the shit they do now on the things that happened in their past. My parents didn't hug me enough boohoo. Okay so maybe....I guess when a magic sword has a hold of you these things can happen. Like RARW my momentary vengeance turned me into a pipe monster and only the pure thoughts of this Arata can save me! Just not how I thought this episode was going to end. Like really we are going to give this guy some redeeming qualities? I don't think enough time was spent on this betrayal either. Like was this Tsutsuga's right hand man or someone already serving time in jail? I don't even know folks...
 photo arataepisode412_zps239cac6f.jpg
I BELIEVE IN TRUST?!?!?
After Tsutsuga's story was revealed everything started to magically happen. Arata was able to conquer the god sword. To make it into a nice sword apparently. Good thing we have Tsutuga the not so baddie to tell us about Arata's sword. This god sword is the be all of god swords! It can house other swords and has been around since creation and what not. Why does Tsutsuga know all of this and not Kannagi? I like how this guy Kannagi sent Arata to the prison and 5 seconds later is coming to see how he is doing. Like that doesn't seem like a lot of time to get the low down on how Arata is doing. Kannagi should have been on the first ship and been spying the whole time.
 photo arataepisode414_zps28f86ba8.jpg
Are you saying he is more magical than me?!
The episode wraps up rather nicely. Osome...her man is back! Arata's new judgment sword brought back all the dead people BECAUSE IT CAN! Arata and gang are able to escape five seconds before Kannagi gets there...in Ginchi and Kanate's house boat. I mean...what is this craziness? I thought these kids were taken to prison. Now why the hell is their “house” there? I mean weren't they living with a gang before? I AM CONFUSED! Everyone seems happy....Arata is going to collect all the swords and make the world one trusting place to live in. TRUST!

Suiseu no Gargantia episode 4

XO I get to go to work tomorrow! Okay....I get to make money tomorrow. XD I am feeling like a human being today so woohoo! That means it is time to go and make money for bills and trips. You know I schedule my life around when I get a break from work. Only when your break involves tissues and orange medicine that is not a fun break.
 photo suiseinogargantiaepisode411_zps222e6c96.jpg
Apparently bad. Stay here on Earth kid.
For now it is anime time! What is up now? Hmmmm Suiseu no Gargantia episode 4. Spoilers for Ledo FEELING!
 photo suiseinogargantiaepisode48_zpscd979790.jpg
As payment for fish of friendship.
Episode Summary: It appears that some new ships join the Gargantia. Ridgett welcomes them aboard all the while watching Ledo and Chamber...sorta make a mess. A bit of a flashback shows Amy being upset that Ledo and Chambers have to stay in steering AND have to work back to pay for the whole in the ship. Amy tries to mention the pirates but then Ridgett goes on and on about all the things Ledo is getting for free. Ledo seems okay with these terms but Chamber is a bit...well special to maneuver. Joe (some random person on the ship) asks if Chamber can be signed over to everyone and Ledo agrees to give some control to Joe. Amy and Pinion see Ledo taking a break while Joe uses Chamber more efficiently. Amy defends Ledo while Ledo wonders about the efficiency of this fleet. Amy zooms on by and asks what Ledo is working on. He is drilling holes into the teeth of a Hidiaazu. Amy thinks it is funny that Ledo is working on something he has no idea what it is. He gives her the tooth as he has another one and Amy wants Ledo to meet her brother Bevel. As they walk Ledo asks what brother means and Amy is like...family? Ledo reveals that in the future there is no family and that people who can't fight are taken out. Amy is very shocked by this and feels bad for Ledo. For some reason Amy takes Ledo to see the smartest person on the ship instead since Ledo wants information.
 photo suiseinogargantiaepisode44_zpse698185e.jpg
What is a bill?
Amy leaves Ledo with doctor Ordum as she has to run off to work. Ledo wants to ask Ordum if there is a way to get in contact with the Alliance and obviously the answer is no, that the technology to do so has been long gone. Ledo then asks what the heck is up with this crazy ship and how it operates? Ordum understands the question and suggests that Ledo see Bevel as well. When Ledo asks if his information will be useful Ordum says that is up to Ledo. Amy is bonkers happy to take Ledo to see her brother even if in Ledo's world Bevel would be dead. Bevel is like WOOHOO spaceman! Amy's friends take her away before the visit can even start and she is all sad face. Ledo is unsure of what to do with Bevel and sits there uncomfortable like. Bevel asks about life in space and basically Ledo is like we fight plant monsters and people like you are not necessary. Bevel thinks he is necessary as he makes Amy happy and asks who Ledo lives for? When Ledo can't answer that Bevel also poses the question what will Ledo do once the aliens are all dead? Ledo gets really quiet but says soldiers go on standby. Bevel says that they are on standby right now. He also explains that Ledo made a flute and plays a little tune on the tooth. Ledo has a flashback of him looking down at a kid that looks an awfully lot like him making a flute but then POOF the kid is gone. Ledo starts to cry but doesn't understand why. Bevel gives Ledo back the flute and smiles at him. Ledo has to think about this all later, how he doesn't really do much here and how different it is. Bellows stops by to see how Ledo is doing and tells him that he will find his place one day. It starts to rain which startles Ledo. Bellows and the rest of the crew starts gathering it up and Chamber also aids in this water gathering. Ledo starts to realize that people do work together on this ship despite being insane. When Chamber notices a chance in Ledo he says he was just thinking how the war was going back home. Chamber says that is not important nor should Ledo have to learn more this planet to succeed is getting back home. Ledo agrees but looks sad. THE END!
 photo suiseinogargantiaepisode47_zpsba59b7c2.jpg
Kids these days!
XO Could this actually be a feel good anime? Will it end with the power of friendship and Ledo accepting this way of life? Or is this a huge setup for what is to come? Bevel dead in the ocean and Amy cursing Ledo's arrival to Earth as everything is ruined again? XO What could this be?
 photo suiseinogargantiaepisode45_zps402351af.jpg
Ungrateful assholes!
For now it is a bit cut throat. I was like DAMN this dude just saved your asses from pirates twice and you gave him a bill? How about he give you a bill from all the fuel he used to save everyone TWICE? How much are human lives? HMMM! I mean I guess I can appreciate Ridgett's straight forwardness. Like that's great, this is this and that is that. Ledo agreed to it to get his place on the boat but yes Amy. This is a craziness indeed. But I guess it is a different approach. It would have been WE AREN'T WORTHY levels of worship.
 photo suiseinogargantiaepisode42_zpsb1af9ec5.jpg
Stop being helpful!
Ledo does look slightly lazy, at least to everyone else watching. He is telling Chamber what to do while he can sit down and take it easy. Well once the precious rope is out of the way. I am sure that housewives of olde days....not even 50 years ago would think that women (I say women as WE are still stuck with most of the housework) of today have it pretty easy. But women from 100 years ago would marvel at how easy the 50 years ago wives have it. Why it is a great big beautiful tomorrow! Technology makes life easier. I mean it can complicate things obvious but I can get an entire load of laundry done in two hours without getting hands wet. All the clothes still get washed but a woman washing it by hand would look at me and think me lazy. And that is how Ledo is looked upon in this society.
 photo suiseinogargantiaepisode46_zps8e02a26f.jpg
Not sure how I feel about this....
I am not sure about Ledo giving control over to Random Joe. Like I would keep that as a trump card. Only I can make this machine move on its own. Fear me. Also I think Ledo needs to be careful using up all the power. I mean he could make it back to his home one day right? He needs all the energy he can save. But I guess Ledo is still trying to figure out how to contribute and look helpful. So yeah you can borrow my car, that is my contribution to this trip. Now let me sit back and drill holes into teeth, waiting for Amy to arrive.
 photo suiseinogargantiaepisode49_zps4e9c9fc1.jpg
I ain't got time for family. I got aliens to kill.
While walking with Amy through the sad little market place Ledo revealed a great deal about life in space. And life is not good. While most of the time I want to send my family to a spaceship to the moon for NO ONE to have family at all...X___X. I just don't see the motivation at all for these people. Human beings need a purpose in life. I have things/people/Kiras that I live for. But if you are all just pod people who are dispensable what motivates people to stay alive? I understand the idea of trying to make people equal and making them into strong soldiers but this is a little extreme. And while I can SEE (but not agree) with people who can't be soldiers aren't as useful I still think they can be helpful in that world. I mean...you need people to make this technology right? You can do that from a wheelchair. So don't throw out someone for being a little different.
 photo suiseinogargantiaepisode410_zps2f570047.jpg
Thanks for that amazing information.
I am not sure why Ledo needed to talk to Doc Ordum. Did he really think by talking to the smartest person on the ship he was going to find a way back home? I hope he didn't think that either. Instead he asked Doc why all these kids were running around and not being helpful. That everything seems off. And to Ledo it really is. I would argue that as well. They have no land and limited resources in this new world. Not sure where they are getting all these veggies from but yeah. All those kids running around and causing problems...GO LEARN TO BE USEFUL! Kids these days....

Err hello to you too?
Enter the Bevel. Someone that Ledo really can't understand. And that means by anime logic he will be the person who touches him the most. Well besides Amy because Bevel will die some horrible death when the aliens show up but still. For now it is spacemen and what not. I kinda felt bad for Bevel. He had this picture in his head of what space was like and what Ledo could be like and then....it was like meeting your hero and they have a beer belly and smell like puke. Disappointment. Also it must have been o so much fun to learn in this brave new world Bevel would have been turned into fertilizer for the pouch o food things that apparently grow there.

The look of someone maybe getting it?
Still Bevel had his role as positive kid and played it well. Also he is probably the most...well not logical...but common sense character Ledo has come across. Like well I am useful to my family, I give them meaning. How are you useful? Oh a soldier just like everyone else? And what will you do Mr. Soldier once all the aliens are gone? Oh you don't know. HMMMMMMMM. I thought Ledo's head was going to explode this all this information. Like I am nothing what is my life?!?!

Ledo used to smile!
The final nail in the coffin was when Bevel pointed out that Ledo was making flues with the alien teeth and played a little tune. I really didn't think that was going to amount to anything and BAM it sparked a memory with Ledo. I think they should have done a better job....showing who this person Ledo was thinking about. Obviously we are supposed to think brother as we are normal human beings. But Ledo has already stated there are no families. What if that was a Ledo clone, younger than this Ledo? I don't know, it was a brief flashback and I wonder if it will amount to anything. Just to show what happens when people are deemed...unsuitable I guess. But Ledo had so much FEELING! It is coming out of my eyes in the form of water.

Not enough freaking out. :(
Speaking of water...Ledo really should have lost his little mind when it started raining. He should have made Chamber shoot at it and acted like he was dying or something. That would have been really entertaining to watch. Yeah I get that water is important but watching that crazy face would have been more entertaining. Woe is me and this lost opportunity.

Rope is hard folks. They don't have it in the future.
The episode ends with Ledo having many thoughts in his head and Chamber trying to tell him none of this really matters, war is all they need. I think this change in Ledo is coming a bit too fast but with Amy and her shiny limbs I guess it makes sense. We got to get to the happy so when things come and bite off people's heads it will be all the more sad. But Ledo...he is feeling. Feelings thing! XO
