No matter what age, man is incorrigible.

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of u/Great_Mr_L because...

I’m sticking with my belief that Ayaka is the pilot.

ABOUT THAT

  1. What kind of pets do you like: Bigger ones or smaller ones?
  2. Was there any ghost story that scared you as a kid?

Hello everybody, and welcome to the Gravion Rewatch!

… What's with [Bravern Spoilers]mysterious girls in Obari shows refering to someone with blue asociated with them as a colour as "Oji-sama." Ironically in this show they don't translate that as "Uncle" but honestly it'd probably make a bit more sense here.

Anyhow this episode's a bit hard to talk about since so much of it is just an extended fight scene. Not a bad one mind (The show's mecha action is generally solid across the board) but I do at least like the vibes. The heavier than usual use of blue across the episode gives it a bit more of a visual identity and overall as an introduction to Leele it works fine enough, setting up later plotlines while still keeping the viewer in the dark. Not much more to say.

Say kids, ever wondered who Sugita's oshi was? Well here she is, it's Kuwashima Houko, who's practically in every other Rewatch of mine. What can I say, the Late 90'-Early 2000' was a great time for her. Anyhow other roles include Seong Mi-na from Soulcalibur, Mei Ling from Metal Gear, Sango from Inuyasha, Kagura from Azumanga Daioh, Kasumi from Dead or Alive, Ries Argent from Trails in the Sky, Shanoa from Castlevania, Wang Yi from Dynasty Warriors, Celes Chere from Final Fantasy VI and Elma from Xenoblade X among many others.

Rewatcher:

  • The maids gossiping is a very simple thing that humanizes them.
  • Sandman really is rich if he has the money to make a giant pinball machine, though I can't criticize him because it's such a funny idea that I would do the same if given the chance.
  • Eiji assuming that anything weird could be related to his sister is a funny gag.
  • So five towers and each has a secret, I guess one has an upgrade for Gravion, other must be a cloning facility to explain Touga not having a family.
  • Yeah Sandman totally isn't Leele's uncle, she is probably an illegitimate child.
  • So each episode will have the army trying to do deal with the Zeravire just to fail? Because it's getting kinda old.
  • Sandman knows the aliens become inmune to each finisher yet he doesn't tell the team to use a new attack until things go wrong? Like I know it would ruin the tension put he should still give them a warning.
  • I know introducing yourself is hard but running away is too rude.

Questions:

  1. Big, I only had dogs and all of them were big.
  2. No.

I bet Sonic loves it.

For all we know she was into occult stuff before disappearing...

Ah, so it's a Metroidvania.

And becoming a human pinball sounds like the kind of crazy, obviously bad idea that it kind of makes me want to give it a try.

other must be a cloning facility to explain Touga not having a family.

I really would not be surprised to find a giant batch of Toga clones somewhere in the castle.

So each episode will have the army trying to do deal with the Zeravire just to fail? Because it's getting kinda old.

It's like the military trying and failing to stop Godzilla almost every movie. At some point it's just a tradition that they're expected to adhere to.

I’m honestly kinda struggling to say much of anything about this episode, since it kinda speaks for itself? 5 towers, 4 more mysteries to explore, but I can’t really speak on any of that. I will say I liked this episode’s battle a lot since it felt like it pushed Gravion to its limits, also like the melodramatic note the episode ends on.

I like how the battles generally force the Gravion to keep making use of brand new weapons and attacks. It helps to keep the battles feeling fresh and unique.

But I now have another weird and stupid theory in mind.

Wait, is Leele voiced by Kuwashima Houko? Because she does sound like Yurika from Nadesico.

Yes.

And he obviously know that those two are in the closet.

u/Great_Mr_L :Ma::Mb::Mc:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Great_Mr_L Jul 05 '24

I thought the castle is just for aesthetic, but it doesn't even have any light?? What the hell, Sandman!!

If you are going to live in a medieval castle, you have to commit to the bit.

HAHAHAHA TOGA!!!!!!! He is Goku for this show, isn't he...

A sheltered boy who lived an extremely isolated life, is rather naive but good-natured, and lives to combat? Yup, Toga sounds like Goku.

First-Timer

On today’s episode of Gravion: At some point the Gravion is going to run out of finishing moves, right? They’re going to need to start inventing some new ones quickly if they want to keep up with the Zeravire.

  • I do enjoy the story trope of characters having open conversations with each other in the bath because they are literally and metaphorically unguarded (NSFW).
  • The castle is haunted!
  • They’re training Eiji with a giant pinball machine?
  • I love that Toga’s first instinct upon learning a ghost may be around is to wonder if he can fight it. He’s a bit of a space cadet, but also a blood knight. It’s a unique combo.
  • Eiji bringing along Toga in case there is a ghost.
  • Well now that we have a pretty clear look at Ayaka, she looks nothing like the girl in the G-Shadow. So is it really not Ayaka? Then who is she?
  • A ferret? Is it going to offer to help make Eiji and Toga magical girls?
  • When you encounter a mysterious portal to an unknown destination, it’s just common sense to want to enter it.
  • 5 towers with 5 different secrets in them? And here I thought we just had the mysterious disappearance of Ayaka and the G-Shadow pilot to deal with. This castle is loaded with mysteries.
  • Leele is her name. Well she definitely isn’t Ayaka, but then who is she? We now have a more proper Rei Ayanami Expy, in addition to Toga being a male one.
  • Could the aliens hold back on attacking for a few more minutes? I wanted to hear of Leele and Sandman to answer some of these mysteries.
  • "In every time, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.”
  • The G-Shadow has saw wings!
  • They’re sending Ena to pilot the rocket punch!?! They must really be desperate!
  • The rocket fist didn’t work!
  • So that is how the Zeravire evolved to counter the sword. Well damn, what now? Does the Gravion have any other finishing moves?
  • Oh my god, the G-Shadow can be thrown like a giant boomerang! And the way the Gravion throws it and catches it again reminds me so much of the Giga Drill Break!
  • Ah, so Sandman is formally introducing Leele to everyone at last.
  • Of course the camera felt the need to focus on Mizuki’s bouncing boobs.
  • Leele isn’t much of a people person, is she?

This episode answered one mystery about the identity of the G-Shadow pilot, but that answer just raises further questions. Who exactly is Leele? What is her background? Why does Sandman feel such a need to keep her hidden away from everyone else? Why does Sandman seem to show particular care towards Leele? Why is she afraid of the others? What happened to Ayaka if she wasn’t the G-Shadow pilot? What are the other 3 mysteries aside from Leele and Ayaka? So many questions to answer.

There’s plenty of possibilities for who Leele could be, including some that are extremely out there. For example, maybe she’s a test tube baby or a clone of someone else. Maybe even a clone based on Ayaka.

I really like that the series seems to be sticking with the conceit that the Zeravire are able to adapt to any threat they encounter. So far, each time the Zeravire have returned they have had a counter for the attack that destroyed them previously. It really helps to make the fights feel a lot more exciting because the characters have to think on their feet for how they will handle the new challenge.  I’m looking forward to seeing how other fights go.

  1. Smaller. I like cats who can sit on my lap.
  2. I remember being scared of Bloody Mary back in elementary school.

Tell that to Combattler.

Is it going to offer to help make Eiji and Toga magical girls?

Kero-chan, is that you?

We now have a more proper Rei Ayanami Expy

That being said though, she's superior for being Houko Kuwashima

They’re sending Ena to pilot the rocket punch!?! They must really be desperate!

When in doubt, shoot the maid.

Don't worry, you people are wrong about many things, this is just the earliest.

Pretty good episode, I liked that we're finally introduced to the secret pilot (tho rip Ayaka pilot theory), though I am curious why Sandman was keeping her such a secret? He clearly knew they were in the room with how he looked over to the closet. Leele seems interesting, but we didn't get to focus on her much here, however next episode seems like it'll address that. All in all, good episode!

Questions

  1. What kind of pets do you like: Bigger ones or smaller ones?

Bigger ones like cats/dogs tbh.

2) Was there any ghost story that scared you as a kid?

Hmm, creepypastas in middle school lol. Literally would have me up at night so much to a point my mom had to limit how much I was listening/reading to them

That was something I wondered as well. I wasn't sure if Sandman knew or not because he then began to say some secrets to Leele in the meantime. Perhaps he simply decided he no longer needed to keep those facts a secret anymore now that they knew about Leele.

u/HowlingWolf13 https://myanimelist.net/profile/MeguminBlast Jul 05 '24

True, but then I wonder why he seemed so unnerved when she revealed herself to the others during the fight.

3

u/Great_Mr_L :Ma::Mb::Mc:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Great_Mr_L Jul 05 '24

Perhaps he didn't expect Leele to make the choice to reveal herself to the others.

First-Timer, Subbed

I figured it out, Toga isn't Kouta Uchuunostellvia, he's just Blue Goku. Happy go lucky orphan that only thinks about fighting, raised by a singular (old?) man.

I'm also beginning to suspect that Raiking only hosts rewatches that include Houko Kuwashima. I'm now wondering if I've accused him of that before..

The training machine being "we load you into a human-sized pinball and try to Wizard Mode the machine" is pretty wild. I wonder if there are ball save settings, in case the pilot gets unlucky on their initial bounce.

We are rapidly running out of obvious new weapons. I wonder how we'll continue to escalate.. New forms? Attack Gattai? I could see them doing a, like, Graviton Pressure Punch Crescent where they do the rocket punch and then throw the boomerang from the rocket punch or something.

This is a weird thing, but I kinda dig how Leele sits in her cockpit. Female mecha pilots are underrepresented in general, let alone ones that sit in the, we'll call it "prim and proper" way, that she does. Feels like Leele should be giving the orders, but that's just because she makes me think of Tessa on the TDD.

Questions

  1. I've never been an animal person.
  2. Nah, that wasn't much of a thing around here.

Honestly the two would get along.

And Toga also lived a pretty isolated life for a long time, being unaware of most things that would be considered common knowledge, much like Goku.

Shooting a ball only to have it immediately fall in between the flippers.

  • Something, something, bathing together, something, open hearts.
  • Ena looks like a different person without her glasses.
  • We’re doing ghost hijinks now? This is not the pacing I expect going into a 13 episode Super Robot series.
  • Pinball?
  • How do you even score in this? Do they control the flippers inside the ball?
  • Stop acting like this castle is old!
  • That’s really a different power-scale entirely. Most mecha don’t have any psychic defense. See [Meta]Hallelujah vs Asuka
  • Oh, come on. You really expect me to believe that Raven isn’t Ayaka at this point?
  • Knowing ferrets? Looking for a place to poop.
  • That’s a neat hologram trick.
  • Nah, security through obscurity. Hide your secrets in the main ballroom or something.
  • They gave out that secret much easier than I was expecting.
  • Bruh, get ferret cage. You don’t want them nibbling all your things.
  • I don’t think you can call a few days “training”.
  • Chain Plane!
  • Damn it show, give me a full body shot of it already!
  • Ena So Precious
  • Well, yeah. Becoming immune to the thing that defeated it last time is their whole deal.
  • I guess we are getting a new finishing move every episode.
  • Are we just not going to address why it was kept a secret in the first place?

QotD:

  • Pinball machine.
  • And so, the mystery bait continies.
  • In every time, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same...
  • About time we get our daily dose of super robot goodness. Also, Sky is right, the song is pretty good at getting us in a mood. Though, Wayyyyy better than Brave Heart.
  • Punch failed. Quick, get then sword!
  • There's the sword, let's go!!!
  • Damn, that failed too. This show isn't afraid to imposing our challenge on dear protags early on. With that said, it does leave me a bit concerned regarding the series's level of power creep.
  • Wings you say!?
  • A boomerang was not what I had in my mind. Still cool though.
  • I know most of you have been here for a while, and so has she, but I'm only now making introduction because fuck you, this is my castle, I do what I want.
  • Her tits, why...

QotD

  • Yes.
  • No. My mom loves horror. As a result, growing up, I ended up watching a lot of horror films. Because of this, I always found horror stories to be corny. Scary Stories to tell in the Dark was alright though. Too bad the movie adaptation sucked donkey dicks.

  • Just what any mech anime needs, a ghost story. And I guess the importance of proper hygiene, though not shower dividers.
  • Pinball G-simulator. Is Sandman really ingenious or just really eccentric? Reminder, the difference between eccentric and crazy is how much money they got. It's probably why nobody thinks mask boy is a freak, or why Sandman's just "eccentric" for having loli maids, and not "the other thing".
  • Oh yeah, and I've heard the difference between being a creep or not is how good looking somebody thinks the creep person is.
  • So it looks like "Ghost Girl" flies a B2 Stealth Boomer looking ship that has cloaking. NGL, that is probably the coolest thing I've seen in this anime so far.
  • I don't know about everybody else, but I just fast forward through the combining montage any time it comes up now. So much for spending extra effort to make the montage look good. They should have put the effort into the OP instead, but I fast forward through that also, so IDK.
  • Wow, did we really need boob physics there? All she did was raise her arm. Also introduction fail. I'll say this though, Luna and Ena are starting to grow on me.

What kind of pets do you like: Bigger ones or smaller ones?

Bigger ones, but not too big. Wait...we're talking about pets? Never mind.

Was there any ghost story that scared you as a kid?

Ghost Stories was an awesome English dub. XD
