So, the progress of the second season is again slow but steady. This was the kind of episode that just built up to one climax, and like the first season it put a lot of emphasis on random events (this time the alien trio tried to run a haunted house). The plot is definitely going somewhere though.
So, the Vos, when it tries to enter Rinne, has the power to destroy planets. This is quite a convenient solution to Dizelmine’s problem of the impending two planets that are going to be destroyed, and the main point of this series will be to prevent the war, while also solving the problems of these planets. Because of that, the characters are finally starting to research what the powers of the Vox actually entail to. So yeah, in this episode the characters actually start to experiment with world-destroying powers.
It was all quite intense. The episode started out with finally some good fanservice jokes again (which was definitely needed after those eels of last season), followed by a complete mood-switch when that giant red blob appeared. I liked this a lot, and this also shows that there is some kind of brain in that gate of Rinne, hinting at that it’s much more than just something really powerful.
Rating: (Great)
Every episode, I keep realizing how little I knew about what was going on in the first season…sigh…
Asteria. XDDDDDDDDDDDD
And Madoka. ROTFL.
It seems like different emotions create a different manifestation of the Rinne. Strange to see Yurikano show up like that though. Doesn’t seem like she’s all there. Maybe it’s a remnant or echo of her from the Militia Zodia incident. Could be where those mech fragments are from too…
Worth a (Great) rating just for Asteria’s creative way of ‘stimulating’ Madoka…with Todokoro’s lame, impulsive outburst being the icing on the cake.
We will mention that we could do without Kirius, Izo, and Array’s haunted house scenes altogether. These three either need more substantial things to do, or less screen time, because right now they’re just a repetitive side-joke.
Don’t forget Lan and Muginami’s expressions. XD
For some reason, this song is playing in my head during the..uh..intermission. ^^;

I’m really curious about what Asteria really told Madoka. Kininarimasu. *^.^*
About the three guys, I’m pretty sure they have an important role to play later. I prefer them as they are now rather than as adversaries. Plus, if my intuition is right about the emotion they need to save the world with the Rinne…well, on the other hand, maybe yuri will save the world.
