Whoa, a whole episode without Jomie? Interesting. This episode was really meant to introduce Keesu (how the heck do you spell his name correctly) and bring Sam and Swena back into the story. I’m surprised that I’m actually the only one who remained blogging this series by the way. Ah well, that never stopped me from blogging. ^^;
Anyway, it seems that the children who turned 14 and passed the coming-of-age test are sent to a space-station. Sam, Swena and Keesu all ended up on the same station, but for a strange reason, Keesu lost his memory in the process, while Sam and Swena got to keep it. If I had to guess, then he failed his coming-of-age test.
The episode itself wasn’t really special, a ship carrying new recruits accidentally crashed into the space-station, and Sam and Keesu, who became friends fast, were just to embark on an exercise outside of the space-station, so they were the first who’d be able to reach them. Swena appeared to be among these new recruits, and they were safely rescued. Keesu, however, ended up in danger and Sam saved him. Swena afterwards started to fall in love with Keesu, and their rivals looked rather pissed. Still, there is potential for the future, especially since they’re going to have to be connected to Jomie, some way in the future.]]>
Toward the Terra – 06
In Verticals US release of the manga, Keesu is romanised as Keith Anyan. I’d think that’d be right.
Do care not about the rest of the world and keep up the good work bloggin this anime! I daresay It really worths some awards, very unique and one of my fav for this season so far 🙂 Thx for keep blogging Terra E!
I think if you fail your coming of age test, they’ll kill you. I think everyone lost somewhat of their memories, but some remember bits and pieces.
The “rivals” are actually elite upperclassmen who wanted Keith to hang around with them and not Sam. They told Keith not to do anything and to leave the rescue in the hands of “Mother Eliza” (the station’s computer).
Next episode Shiroe will join the station a few years after the events of this episode.
Actually, there is someone else dedicating a whole blog to the series:

As a spin-off from the blogger’s main anime blog:

And also a LJ community:

There are others as well, as Technorati reveals. So the show does have its fans out there.
vmlgml: ah, my bad. I keep forgetting that there are more blogs beyond animeblogger. I remember making the same mistake for Iwanihana’s Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto-blog.
