"Thanks to our hard work we finished early!" but as it is it's not clear.

And judging from how she passed out, it's clear enough for me that that's exactly what she did.
Agreed, Raikoh. I couldn't see a thing wrong with the timing for this episode, save that it doesn't have a clip show montage. Funny, but I actually would have preferred such a bit of clip showing for the Fafners, maybe give a before and after date for Hazama, since it's obvious she worked herself without sleep.Raikoh wrote:Things just keep on moving forward. Kenji and Sakura finally managed to tie the knot. Have I mentioned how Arai's performance as Sakura blows me away at how good it is? I have? Well, it's really good.
For the "month" thing, it's clear that they allocated everything they possibly could to finish the Einherjar faster than expected, since they mention that it's their only hope of surviving without abandoning Tatsumiyajima. If you really worry about the deets of the time frame, the composition of the episode makes it look like the Einherjar was completed incredibly quickly. Due to the framing being discussion of the wedding while others are working on the upgrade, Sakura's mom was shown as alive during the wedding, then they're completed on the wedding night. It's unclear exactly how much time passed but it's definitely under a month.
Most of Alvis is underwater. That's just the island's true form.LightningCount wrote:*Does the ending spoil that there will be a new/evolved/expanded island that's more of a full-on battleship?
Saki is related to Ryou, the main dude from RoL.LightningCount wrote:*The red-haired woman that said her relative (nephew, I think she said?) died in Plan L: Is she related to a named character in Right of Left?
Thanks for clarifying that, and my question about the island, too. Maybe you can answer these similar questions, then: There is a guy who looks like a younger version of Mizoguchi who hangs out with that red-haired girl from time to time. Who is he supposed to be? And also, there was a young woman who joined the command center as an operator earlier in Exodus who, I think, was a restaurant worker. Not sure who she is. Finally, the character of Olga...when was she introduced in the franchise? Some of these characters and their family/story connections escaped me.Destiny_Gundam wrote:Saki is related to Ryou, the main dude from RoL.LightningCount wrote:*The red-haired woman that said her relative (nephew, I think she said?) died in Plan L: Is she related to a named character in Right of Left?
Mitsugu Jinnai. Doesn't seem like he's related to anyone, just some dude who works on the island.LightningCount wrote:There is a guy who looks like a younger version of Mizoguchi who hangs out with that red-haired girl from time to time. Who is he supposed to be?
Hiroto's sister Mai.LightningCount wrote:And also, there was a young woman who joined the command center as an operator earlier in Exodus who, I think, was a restaurant worker. Not sure who she is.
She was one of the UN pilots put in the Nothung models when they took over the island in the first series.LightningCount wrote:Finally, the character of Olga...when was she introduced in the franchise? Some of these characters and their family/story connections escaped me.
This is apparently explained in side materials. The island Idun came from is a knock off version of Alvis made by the UN from leaked data on the Arcadian project.Amion wrote:Also, I just finished the original series, and so far the only big unanswered question was this: why did they have a core on B island? The obvious answer is that the Girl/Boy In the Tube setup was an Arcadian thing, but it was clear from dialogue in the show that Tsubaki was a useful accident, not intentional plan, same with the Well of Urd. But we clearly have identical structures on Greece-stylized B island.
This brings up the question of why it was Japan alone who started the project. It looks to me like they intentionally got other cultures on the different islands. If that's so, I assume they're still out there, just hiding safe and sound, and probably without the Mt. Fuji Mir or whatnot.
I haven't seen Ep.20 yet, but I've been feeling the same thing. Season 2 started off so strongly, and then it seemed to hit a wall when they went back to Tatsumiyajima. I know there are a lot of Canon fans here, but the "non-stop Canon show" just didn't work for me in how it was executed. If we had 50 episodes to work with, I might feel differently.Amion wrote:EDIT: Didn't have time to fully post. I think the animation for today's episode was fine. It's just I'm not sure the plot has been moving in the best way...ultimately the best part of the episode for me was the last four minutes of the Exodus group. That part of the story has become far more interesting to me and I firmly believe the best course of action is for the story to progress with them for the majority of the remaining episodes. The Fafner world is FAR too good to explore for us to stay stuck on battered Tatsumiyajima.
That bodes ill.Destiny_Gundam wrote:Man, my death flag detector blew up half way into the episode.
i detected something else...STRAIGHT! after that many episodes of BL fuel they added in a touching Kazuki and Maya scene. but then again, Fujoshis(and danshis alike) still got something from Soushi. XDDestiny_Gundam wrote:Man, my death flag detector blew up half way into the episode.
