Another awesome episode. I’m surprised that this arc will actually last for another episode. To make things even better, the situation seemed almost resolved at the end of this episode. This means that the creators did have something in mind for the next one. What exactly will that be?
And seriously, the moment Paife got stabbed was such a powerful moment! I can’t believe how well that worked. I guess that when characters are this well developed, you can do some great things with them. That’s why I’m looking forward to the final episode of this amazing show. ^^
Rona Fauna also continues to get more interesting by the minute. Her power’s fading, but still she tries to do things to Honoka, in order to keep her away from Joganki. She loses herself in this, to the point that she actually looks as if she’s going to explode. It seems that she picked to kidnap Joganki for a reason as well. They knew each other in the past, Joganki showed kindness to her, and she fell in love.
Honoka meanwhile spends her time descending Rona Fauna’s strange construction of nano-machines, along with Blue Breaker. A very interesting scene follows when Blue Breaker actually wants Honoka to destroy him. It’s interesting to see the way his AI has developed. It’s not as advanced as Bogie, but he actually can make his own decisions. Oh, and I loved the way Honoka saw through his empty gun. ^^;
Bogie, meanwhile, attempts to take out another one of Rona’s machines: an anti-tank helicopter. In the end, it seemed that this helicopter has had no combat experience at all. Therefore, the fight was easily decided. Ikus, meanwhile, gets shrouded in even more mysteries when he gets shot and turns out to be perfectly fine afterwards.
Overall, this was a great episode. Especially Paife was awesome. I really love this show. ^^
Maybe this arc will keep all the way to the end? After all, they need to give it just three more episodes (besides the next one).
Yeah, the scene with Iks, saving Paife’s life was great.
I guess he must be kinda resistant, if he was traveling different worlds since ages, finding only destruction and pain there.
To bad, I guess Gravestone won’t reappear here, I guess in the next episode this arc will be over and so Ronas Controll over the Wormhole Driver will end.
I hope they will explain Ikus’ back story since we’re so close to the end now. I’d be really disappointed if they didn’t since he’s been this constant mystery from beginning to present.
Hmm, yeah. I never knew that this anime had 24 episodes. I kept assuming that there were 26 of them. Anyway, this arc will either end during the next episode, or it’ll feature a huge plot twist which has something to do with Ikus.
I’m hoping that Millie will also have some kind of role in the final episodes.
I was really impressed with the animation on Bogie’s fight scene for this episode, although I’m confused as to how exactly he turned into a grasshopper..
