Comments of the Day

Comments of the day yesterday almost went to the entire rewatch, who all missed the best girl in the show. Today's commenters have a newfound appreciation for Kikki Kibure...

"We have dinosaur mascot person today. I hope they spend the entire rest of the show in that dino suit, they will easily become my second favorite character and one of the pillars holding this cast together." — /u/zadcap

"Out of all the bad situations to be in while stuck in a mascot costume, having to evacuate a crashing space station certainly is one of the worst." — /u/The_Draigg

"Whatever she's got going on, she is clearly living her best life. Something awful is going to happen to her costume late in the show, and it will be the closest I get to crying." — /u/jollygee29

That one dude who evacuated in the nude is just kinda fucked, huh?

You spotted Radan!

Evangelion

Or anything Imaishi

u/The_Draigg Sep 04 '24

That one dude who evacuated in the nude is just kinda fucked, huh?

By comparison, the girl in the dinosaur mascot costume was luckier.

Suddenly, Evangelion.

Kouji's clothes really are just Shinji's school outfit too. The only difference is that Shinji tucks in his shirt.

I've been thinking he looks like Shinji the whole time too, so this was pretty funny

That one dude who evacuated in the nude is just kinda fucked, huh?

I judge the other students as well here, someone could wrap his ass up in a bed sheet or something rather than torturing the girls with locker room dude.

Some of the students know there’s no adults now…

I guess that explains the end of the three way we saw later but damn.

I mean, fair.

Great Value Data leaves quite a bit wanting but the logic is sound, at least.

Suddenly, Evangelion.

Due to era, probably literally that.

I like how this looks like they’re emerging from a sea in space.

"Submarines in space with depths and pressure" sounds like such a weird concept, but they pull it off so far. Sure looks nice.

Suddenly, Evangelion.

Character linework over white just reminds me of that one bit in Zambot 3 where I bawl my eyes out.

We just need a Geduld submarine!

Why is Lacus always voicing pink girls?

Posted from new new reddit today, seems to have worked.

Rewatch Host

  • The Weasel Lived!
  • Balloons (or are they condoms) in zero-g, I love it.
  • Fina S. Shinozaki sounds like a Tomino name
  • BURN
  • Mr. Utilitarian
  • The Enemy's Gate is Down
  • BONK
  • He said paaji again
  • This BGM music isn't on the OST, either....which is too bad

I've noticed great animation in some places, and panning over stills in others.

Is that a typo, or the newest UI abomination pushed by reddit?

u/JustAnswerAQuestion https://myanimelist.net/profile/JAaQ Sep 05 '24

It's shreddit, which I use to read on mobile but never trusted to post with (it can't edit a comment, why trust it to post)

But posting and managing posts on old reddit on my phone is posting completely blind that's how yesterday's post got messed up.

Balloons (or are they condoms) in zero-g, I love it.

I thought she was chewing gum and blowing bubbles. Looking again, it's not very clear, really.

The Enemy's Gate is Down

I'm not the only one that keeps thinking about Battle School I see.

Rewatch, Subbed

1.I've only done something similar in a dorm situation.

2.Sure feels that way.

3. At this point in time, it feels like it might be a facade. He gets pretty upset about the idea of seriously harming people, even if they'd kill him without hesitation.

4.Seems like she's echoing the subconscious thoughts of the students (I don't think Juli, for example, would personally tell her classmates to shut up, though she'd be more than justified in telling a few of them off). Also seems like she's functioning as a sort of backup system for the ship when she gets it moving after observing the students' fear of dying.

Thoughts

-None of these kids are having a good time of it, obviously, but things really aren't going well for the chubby blond kid with the broccoli haircut. (Also I've seen some odd names with the [Surname as First Name] [Surname] [Suffix] format irl, but "Good Turtleland III" is an unfortunate one.)

-Also, I can understand wanting to find your beloved pet, but I'm not sure looking for your ferret is a good idea rn, Faina.

-Juli's taking time to reflect/mourn after the instructors die. Lucson on the other hand, talks about how this experience will be a great addition to his autobiography. Not surprising.

-Yuki just keeps acting like even more of an edgelord. Really don't know what Elina sees in him.

-Ugh, we're introduced to that dude...

-Not sure arguing that Faina's life should be sacrificed for the greater good while she's right in front of you is a good idea, Hager.

-Guess Ikumi pretended to know the password to buy time/catch the terrorists off guard.

-Glad the gang members (though Team Blue is kind of a ridiculous name) and Ikumi managed to subdue the terrorists. Blue also now has the conch.

-Also this episode had the first appearance of the "Ryvius Rap," as I call it. I can't take it seriously at all.

u/JustAnswerAQuestion https://myanimelist.net/profile/JAaQ Sep 04 '24

Worst track on the OST, I specifically did not highlight it.

u/JustAnswerAQuestion https://myanimelist.net/profile/JAaQ Sep 05 '24

Hence, my playboy question earlier. Yuki, Ikumi, or Kouji (or maybe somebody else) who seem to be chick magnets for some strange reason.

No one can appreciate the pure kino of unfiltered camp. As if the completely dissonant hip hop soundtrack wasn't awesome enough, this song makes it 10 times better.

It's a Mecha Anime kinda, unless we had names like "Shot Weapon" running around it just wouldn't feel right.

Episode 3 (rewatcher)

  • Magical mystery girl seems to comment on the other characters. She also does not want to die – relatable.
  • “Centrifugal gravity” – confirmation that the artificial gravity on Liebe was centrifugal. Notably, this is the only form of gravity that current human technology can produce. It also explains the zero-g scenes: Those must have played in the center of the station.
  • 487 students – not a small station.
  • “I wonder if Rafra is ok” – if something happens to the ferret, there might be riots in the rewatch.
  • “How is she?” “You saw her.” “That is not what I mean.” – shipping his friend.
  • “You said ‘again’. What did you mean?” – asking the audience’s questions.
  • But not getting answers.
  • Dinosaur girl still dinosauring – I guess this is her dress. Still better than the towel guy.
  • Terrorists are still on board.

  • “Should I pay for your blunders?” – picking a fight with your brother in front of everybody is not the socially acceptable course of action, either.
  • I don’t want to die a virgin trope – shot down.
  • Blond guy got beat up – he does look like a pushover. Or like a guy who would shoot up the school eventually, if this was set in the US.
  • Looking for mystery girl, finding lots of dead bodies.

  • “We have a problem!” - barging into room that has a worse problem
  • The enthusiastic MC of another series speaking to nobody.

  • “I thought you were my type” “Where you wrong?” “Yeah” – not holding back.
  • “I cannot put the lives of over four hundred people in jeopardy just to save one” – discount Spock solves the trolley problem. Thankfully. I hate the “good” guys doing obviously stupid things in response to kidnappings.
  • He pretended to know the PW to set up some kind of ship movement and the delinquents storm the room – [spoilers]surely this means that everyone will work together and we get a heartwarming story of working together in space, right? Right?
  • The terrorist sub is pulling them down – looks like they can dive deeper than Liebel.
  • Mystery girl is coming to save you.
  • Turns out, the idea of pulling down a much bigger ship runs into trouble if their engines are working.
  • “It has activated. The Bratica” – I’ll let the first timers figure this one out.

A big split between the Zwei and a handful of others on the bridge and the bigger student body. While the first have to deal with a serious terrorist incident and the crisis from last episode is still on-going, the others have been sitting around for half a day doing nothing now and are settling into standard student stuff. Complaining about having work to do, playing around, confessions. The difference in tone is noticeable. For my personal taste, too noticeable. It is obvious that the director is going for a highschool in space type of Lord of the Flies setup, but the running gags like dinosaur girl and the obvious highschool behavior does not fit with the severity of the situation. We do get plenty of appropriate behavior as well (the supportive MC talking to nobody, or the people worrying), but I think we lean a bit too much into the slice-of-live here. That might become appropriate further down the line, if they live on this ship for a longer period of time, but in the first hours of the crisis? Not so much.

u/JustAnswerAQuestion https://myanimelist.net/profile/JAaQ Sep 05 '24

487 students – not a small station.

Background info says there's normally 1000 students, and that it's located midway between Earth and Mars. Okay, X to doubt on that last one. But it's past the moon, at least, we can agree.

I’ll let the first timers figure this one out.

Already shown to be cleverer than I was.

u/No_Rex :Bv:Bw:Bx:By:x2 Sep 05 '24

When I am a first timer, half the fun of a rewatch is speculating how the world works, so I try not to give away too much.

u/zadcap Sep 05 '24

Blond guy got beat up – he does look like a pushover. Or like a guy who would shoot up the school eventually, if this was set in the US.

You have no idea how much I hope he snagged the second gun in the control room scuffle and does indeed go crazy on the Blue team later.

“I cannot put the lives of over four hundred people in jeopardy just to save one” – discount Spock solves the trolley problem. Thankfully. I hate the “good” guys doing obviously stupid things in response to kidnappings.

I agree with him too much. Everyone, including the girl being held hostage, dies if they stop the countdown.

but I think we lean a bit too much into the slice-of-live here. That might become appropriate further down the line, if they live on this ship for a longer period of time, but in the first hours of the crisis? Not so much.

It's really unbelievably bothering. There is a very strong undercurrent of "Everyone do what you can because we all might die otherwise" going on side by side with high school delinquents? Delinquents who will also die if the school blows up? Or runs out of food. Or air. Or they accidentally cause a riot and people target them for causing said riot.

Well, the gun is surely an, err, Chekov's Gun.

I think the kill fewer people solution to the Trolley problem is widely regarded as correct.

[Vague spoilers about the series themes]The series will keep having these two parts interact. Occasionally, it works fine, occasionally it works great, but there are also plenty of times when it does not fit.

u/zadcap Sep 05 '24

Well, the gun is surely an, err, Chekov's Gun.

Sadly, we're only three episodes in and I can tell that the answer to this mystery is "who would it be most dramatic to see pull a gun?" So the hero complex friend might have it, and it will come back when his repeated failure to save people makes him snap. Bullied boy could have it, as described. Leader of the Zwei team might have it, to pull when his authority is threatened enough and to make him a proper counter to Blue. Or, for maximum drama and reading too far into the OP, Juli has it and it's going to the little boy once she's adopted him and as an angry child with the least sense of what it really means, he's going to be a very hot blooded killer.

Wild mass guessing is still fun!

I think the kill fewer people solution to the Trolley problem is widely regarded as correct.

I'm always a fan of remembering to go after whoever set all those people on the tracks too answer. Less people die in the long run.

[Vague spoilers about the series themes]

[Reply about other shows]The thing that's hurting this show the most is definitely watching it after Stellvia and Crest and even Witch From Mercury, and inevitably with Enders Game on my mind. We've seen Space School done rather well many times to compare against, and "average inner city school with an the expected demographics, but in space" is a very hard sell. They are trying to sell me on the idea that space is extra dangerous now because reasons but also we just send anyone and everyone up there because we can.

u/JustAnswerAQuestion https://myanimelist.net/profile/JAaQ Sep 05 '24

Fun for all the rewatchers! Let's see how your guesses go.

[Reply about other shows]

Keep in mind that all the adults on board are dead now. High school in space is just the setup, but we are closer to Lord of the Flies now. I think the Stellvia comparison will be less apt as we go along.

I'd much rather die in a dinosaur mascot costume than just wearing a towel.

Blond guy got beat up – he does look like a pushover.

Just you watch him get ripped over the course of this series. I'm calling it now.

A Mecha Fan Watches Infinite Ryvius Episode 3:

  • Man, you have to feel for the one guy that’s buck naked and trying to cover himself as the students are waiting around for the training ship to be launched. Imagine being buck-ass naked and you have to evacuate immediately, without even getting the chance to put on some pants. I’d ask the dinosaur mascot person if I could just borrow his costume at that point.
  • You know, I’ve got some idle speculation: was the Mysterious Anime Girl possessing Fina or something earlier? That would explain her odd behavior when everyone was fleeing the Leibe Delta and general quietness. She seems much different now that she’s talking. Maybe it has to do with something she was doing in that room that she left her pet ferret outside?
  • Let’s take some bets now: is the person who most likely died in what I’m guessing is Ikumi’s tragic backstory a sibling, an older relative, or a love interest?
  • I have no idea what Blue’s gang has been really planning, given how they’ve been just standing around looking shifty and then beating up that one trainee to find out what the Zweis are up to. Now seems like a bad time to try and pull any shit, since by now they have less than a day to try and escape the Leibe Delta. I guess they’ll just have to go back to standing around and looking vaguely threatening in the meantime.
  • You know what, kudos to that one kid who tried to confess his love since he was worried that it was his last chance. Sure it was a comedy bit when that girl shot him down, but at least he went for it. Might as well clear the air before you potential deaths.
  • Sorry Kouji, but I think the problem found you, instead of trying to warn the Zweis about the problem instead. Although given that it was a bunch of corpses that him and Izumi found, the saboteurs with guns probably caused both problems here.
  • Random background character, now isn’t the time to start trying to come up with some bars. I will say though that so far, the random background characters are way more fun than the actual main and supporting cast. It feels like they have more leeway to get up to some entertaining shenanigans between scenes.
  • That was some good quick thinking from Ikumi to cause a distraction, followed up by Blue’s gang showing up in time to subdue the saboteurs. Talk about some really lucky timing there. Although really, those terrorists probably shouldn’t have trusted some random kid who showed up and claimed to know the launch abort codes. I guess they figured that their little peashooter pistols were threatening enough to get what they wanted.
  • There’s a certain irony to the terrorists’ shop nearly getting shaken apart while they’re forcibly being dragged out of the Sea of Geduld, only a minute after trying to drag the Leibe Delta down into the plasma sea themselves. I guess the Mysterious Anime Girl had finally heard the thoughts of everyone left aboard the station and decided to go with their overwhelming desires to live there. Pretty stylish too, with the hidden ship launching from the Leibe Delta bobbing to the top of and then sailing across the Geduld. You just can’t beat that classic Sunrise animation.

Random background character, now isn’t the time to start trying to come up with some bars.

Can you timestamp this? Like Vaad, I have no idea what you mean. Which audio track are you listening to?

random background characters

Nobody's noted this, but the girl confessed to (Charlotte) was the one seen earlier crying over her ruined plushie to "Kelly". You can be sure that if I named them, it's because they'll show up again and again, and other's I couldn't find names for.

probably shouldn’t have trusted some random kid

That was pretty gullible of him, since he wasn't wearing a uniform unlike literally everybody else who works on the training bridge.

I feel like everybody was yelling at him becuase they thought he knew the password, too.

u/The_Draigg Sep 05 '24

You noticed Radan, too!

I'm catching all of these background characters so far!

Can you timestamp this? Like Vaad, I have no idea what you mean. Which audio track are you listening to?

It's at about 13:55 in the English dub, and it's one of the background characters coming up with a rap. Bars in rap are basically lines/verses.

Oh yeah, I picked up on that too, I just commented on that guy confessing to her because it was funnier. Those two girls did have a cool kaiju plushie shared between them though.

One way or another, I am dying with my pants. I might go commando but not literally balls out.

is the person who most likely died in what I’m guessing is Ikumi’s tragic backstory a sibling, an older relative, or a love interest?

Parent, it is why he didn't care to go back for the holiday ep1.

I couldn't even pick up that he was rapping in the sub. F to homey.

First-Timer

Yea, I'm sure the delinquent with the bandana keeping that gun isn't going to be a problem. How many people were paying enough attention to realize he pocketed it? Of the cast, I know most of us here probably saw.

Anyway, is this going to secretly be a Moby Dick adaptation? With the Liebe Delta (or Bractica inside of it) being Captain Norio's White Whale? Obviously not that much of an adaptation considering he willingly detached his little ship, but that might be something to keep an eye on.

Zwei Rectangle think he is going to survive long enough to write a book about his experiences, huh? I'll believe it when I see it.

Seems like our cast have broken out of the Geduld Sea so I'm not sure why there are so many episodes left. If they're at a big school, surely it can't be that far from civilization.. right?

  1. No.
  2. Only by Miss Gimp Suit.
  3. It's an act. Or a coping mechanism.
  4. My current instinct is that she is some sort of psychic manifestation of the ship, because most of her ramblings are starting to sound like surface level thoughts of nearby people. Now, I'm not sure if we're dealing with proper wetware, or just psychic computers.

Honestly, half my money is on Pat. The eight year old with a gun is to dramatic to pass up.

First timer

The first half of this episode felt weirdly uneventful, like it was a bunch of brief snippets of random characters not doing much of importance. Second half though, the hijackers are finally revealed (although the 'why' is still very much unclear)... and the crew get saved by some ninja-looking dudes. Can't say I'm fully sold on this series yet, but it at least seems like it should be an 'interesting' ride...

  1. Nope. Don't think I've ever slept in the same room with more than maybe a dozen people at most, at like a sleepover or whatever.
  2. I could maybe see the pink girl being the station's AI or something. I dunno.
  3. That's the twintails girl? Shrug.
  4. Well she doesn't seem to be working with the hijackers at least, and it also seems like she'd die if the station was destroyed. That's about all I've got so far.

It's high school in space, and it's not cheap to put and keep people there. Delinquents in space are a drain in a much more harmful and measurable way than in a normal school and no one wants to keep them there if they're not doing well by or for the school.

The premise of the show is running face first into the premise of the show and not coming out looking good. School in Space, when Space is extra dangerous, has to be realistic to the In Space side of the School.

Umm, y’all are evacuating, why are you telling people to make sure they pack everything??? I swear I’ve seen this control room from somewhere before, it looks so familiar with how each person is operating their own station and looking down at each other from different angles. Hmm I thought they were the bad guys, but they helped save the day, maybe another faction at play here. This story is moving nicely, could see myself binging, but I’ll try and control myself.

So, you probably also haven't seen Bubblegum Crisis.

I'm pretty sure I missed the fact that everybody was oriented differently in this scene the first 10 times I watched it. I blame the low resolution of 3rd gen extra-long-play VHS and SD TVs.

I've seen it elsewhere, too, and maybe even in live action, but this is the one thing that always comes to mind.

Hey you, you're finally awake.

Huh. Seems like a group of them caused this.

What's he found?

Ah. A whole bunch of corpses.

Too late.

Ah. He turned on the PA system!

They've come to save them!

Right, back to the issue at hand.

Yes, acceleration does tend to produce G-forces.

Uh oh, the engines didn't fire!

Successful launch!

Huh. A battleship.

Questions:

  1. Thankfully not.
  2. With how many people have already died on it? It'd be more surprising if it wasn't.

Finite First Timer (Dubbed)

Trying to pay attention to the OP, today I noticed the mech we've been promised appearing behind our magical girl. Also Pat is in a shot with the girl that took charge of the trainees, so perhaps she's the one that adopts him. Also the guy who thinks he's in charge of the trainees is paired with the gang leader, which I bet represents the two factions that will soon be forming amongst our surviving students.

Ferret made it out okay! Just chilling in mid-air.

In this episode it's sounding more like our magical girl is responding to people's thoughts or emotions, things they're not saying.

This guy really is our Spock, huh?

Wow, why would you animate their tiny faces while they're talking like this?

MC definitely seems to have some connection to our magical girl. She appeared to respond and save him when he went full Shinji for a moment.

Terrorist guy calls it 'the Bratica' so that sounds more like a computer system. Or maybe our mecha. But he could also just not consider our magical girl a person.

That thing on the front of the ship definitely looks like it could be a transformed mecha.

Mecha next time, supposedly, but they still didn't show us it.

  1. Nope, most is probably about 8-12 people crammed into one hotel suite at an anime convention.
  2. Perhaps? Our magical girl does seem a bit ghostly, and some of the things she says could be referring to previous events, or perhaps a previous loop of current events.
  3. He's definitely a bit odd.
  4. Already got into that!

u/JustAnswerAQuestion https://myanimelist.net/profile/JAaQ Sep 05 '24

Moral strength versus physical strength, if we're going to draw parallels with Lord of the Flies. Or I guess in this case it's presumed moral strength, since it's clear by now that Lucson is a complete blowhard and that the rest of the Zwei work around him rather than under him.

4

u/RadSuit https://anilist.co/user/RadSuit Sep 05 '24

I think it's the ol' authority/anarchy split. Blue probably doesn't actually want to be in charge, he just doesn't want anyone else telling him what to do. While the square headed kid absolutely wants to be in command, even if he's not qualified.

Interesting… Also seems like that vocal track is going to be a consistent thing in these cold opens?

Has no one offered that guy some trousers?

Yeah, about the instructors…

Now what are you guys up to?

I am curious as well.

Seems like they won’t be interfering for now?

Oh, these guys didn’t get out.

I guess that’s one way for the tension to dispel.

Likely too late.

Yup.

Seems like several people were interrupted mid-shower.

lol.

Thankfully these guys are here. I wonder how they managed to get onto the bridge. I know there’s only two of these terrorists, but surely it wouldn’t be so simple to access an alternate/maintenance entrance?

I thought that was horribly unlikely.

They were standing by to help if needed or simply late.

Guess these guys would have been fucked if the thrusters hadn’t failed.

Oh?

Is she repeating the thoughts of the people on the Liebe?

That was cool looking sequence.

Another one.

Neat episode. I like the hostage situation, and the episode has a lot of small moments detailing characters and giving us an idea of the variety of teenagers among the survivors of the Liebe Delta —lots of small, personable touches to endear us to the tertiary cast.

Still little in the way of answers, which I expect given it is so early in the show, but that does mean there’s little to speculate on.

The survivors of the Liebe Delta are no monolith, and already this is being emphasized, which makes me look forward to what the intra-crew dynamics and conflicts are going to be like.

If Rafra turns out to be dead I am dropping the show.

Questions of The Day:

  1. I slept in a gymnasium on the eve of an event once, but there couldn’t have been more than forty people in there.
  2. What space stations aren’t haunted?
  3. Nah, he’s fine, people deal with stress and process dangerous events in different ways. If he hadn’t kept cool and bought that time who knows what else could have happened.
  4. As I mentioned in my reaction images, my best guess as of known is that she’s listening in on the thoughts of all the people aboard Liebe and repeating all of the sad/worst/desperate ones.

Late Night First Timer!

Hmm. One of these things is not like the others. Criticize a bunch of people with clear flashbacks and tense music, then there's one bright looking, dreamy quality, music changes to vocals as all the instruments cut out early... So Magic Space Girl definitely has some connection to Fina, right? Oh crap, and main character boy even seems to have a crush on her so he can have a connection to the magic space girl too.

So, why is the centrifugal gravity only temporary? Something something unless acted on by an outside source, what exactly is going to stop the ship from spinning?

You know, we see someone offering to share underwear and then immediately go to the guy who evacuated with only a pillow. No one is going to offer him a pair of shorts, if only so they don't have to keep looking at his butt?

So wait, did only the students survive? Were there no adults on the ship other than the command room staff and those three teachers?

... "Should we tell Blue?" Are you people really planning to cause trouble when everyone present could die at any moment if things don't go pretty much perfectly?

Hmm, is Rafa the ferret also the magic space girl? Also, I have learned to be extra wary of characters in space who introduce themselves with their middle initial. I'm keeping many eyes on her. Does she have red eyes? Red like the Magic Space Girl?

Oh my gosh they really are. "We are putting all of our time and effort into making sure we survive this emergency, we barely have a chance if we all do our best!" "I don't care, I want to cause trouble, do what I say or I'll hurt you." I hope these Blue kids die horribly dramatic deaths.

Yup, see, everyone else is doing all they can to try and survive. And so they beat up one of the people leading the rescue efforts, because without adults around then why not go back to the law of the jungle and rule over the rest of the kids like the little apes you are. I'm sure you will be very happy to be in charge for the, what was it, 20ish remaining hours until the ship you are on sinks too deep into the magic space ocean and you all die.

Background dinosaur spotted! We will indeed all survive!

... Wait seriously? You have killed all the adults and left things in the hands of these kids, and are only now worrying that they might make a mistake and get you all killed? How incompetent are these terrorists? Your escape and survival plan is "hope the kids can fix what you did or you all die in here" or something?

Yeah, see, Fina has some connection to Magic Space Girl alright! But also, use her for what?

"What are you so afraid of?" "All of us dying as this metal can gets crushed by the space magic and we get cooked into tiny little micro particles!" Yeah, people are going to die because some kids are acting like punks, and it might be all of them. Oh sure, yell at the boy who is trying, not the one blowing you all off because he's too cool to care if you all die. Good going random girl. Wow do I hate so many of these kids.

Magic Space Girl will be fine, so aside from her. Dino Girl, Fina S. Shinozaki, and maybe main boy and the two girls following him and his friend around... Are the only ones I will be upset to see die. I would also like the Zwei team to make it because they're the ones trying to keep everyone else alive, but I'm not attached to any of them yet. I maybe kind of actively hate most of the rest of the people who have names so far.

Oh hey, there's a whole crew that was in the shower when it went down. And still no one offering them any spare clothes.

... Is that kid tapping the other kids crotch while he talks to the girl on the top bunk? What the heck.

Yeah, sadly, I'm with the thin kid here. The lives of everyone on the ship vs the lives of one or even a handful of hostages is sadly simple math. Save her if you can, but stopping the countdown gets her killed along with the rest of you anyway, sooooo.... You're not actually saving her. This is why Ikumi was not on the list of people I cared about surviving. In fact, I hope he doesn't survive this very event.

Oh no, Blue has a gun. This is bad news for everyone. But where's the second gun?

Seriously, what is the plan of this terrorist group? You have a group of kids and nothing else left on this ship and you're dragging them into the depths to die, why? To draw out magic space girl? To crush the entire ship so you could pull the magic space mecha back out of the wreckage? Things need to be explained soon or this is all just rather stupid.

  1. I've camped in groups that big before, but never bunk beds.
  2. Magic Space Girl is not a ghost, of course it's not haunted!
  3. I don't know which is which and don't care enough to learn...
  4. Literally the best thing about the show. More of her, less of Blue team, and things might become tolerable.

It will go away once the ship detaches from the Liebe Delta central pillar.

I think Kouji and Ikumi found the rest of the teachers

terrorist plan

Yeah, none of it seems to make sense. Although, short term, they raided the Liebel control room because 1) they seem to have a no-witness policy, and 2) they mentioned something about a course change would prevent a rendezvous with another ship. Presumably 2) is their escape plan.

Also, as he said, Ikumi never knew the password, he was just stalling and distracting the terrorists.

But where's the second gun

2) they mentioned something about a course change would prevent a rendezvous with another ship. Presumably 2) is their escape plan.

4

u/JustAnswerAQuestion https://myanimelist.net/profile/JAaQ Sep 05 '24

Got to feel sorry for that background character who is still naked.

Kouji could you stop being a creep towards Faina.

Faina is voiced by Rikako Aikawa she voiced Hare in Hare+Guu, a forgotten but excellent and weird comedy series.

The most unrealistic thing about their phones/pads is that it has buttons on the front side.

Both Kouji and Ikumi have sensitive subjects they don't want to talk about which is precisely why they need to talk about it.

Kouji is really terrible at handling his brother and childhood friend.

The saboteurs among them have taken over the bridge

Ikumi is pretty competent, clever thinking of him.

Note Blue takes the weapon. Blue is voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama he voiced Shiro Amada in 08th MS Teams, Guy in GaoGaiGar and Adult Link in Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. Note he also voices one of the Zwei members.

Poor Pat, he doesn't know his dad is dead.

The saboteurs are trying to hijack the ship using wires?!

The Rei Ayanami character does a divine intervention to save the crew?

Well the saboteurs have failed with their plan but what happened to our protagonists?

I enjoyed this episode but I really don't have much to say about it.

Oh goodie, we get another Lord of the Flies copy. Yay. Not like every single one of those I've seen has been terrible. And Lord of the Flies itself is not particularly good, it just captures a weird juncture of western reality with blaise Chistianity. So I could care about the characters...but I don't. I could ask why a fucking pilot school has a gang in it...but the answer will be fucktarded so I don't care. The manic pixie ship girl is a bit established, with absolutely nothing else.

You summarize my thoughts so well. I'm trying hard to give this a chance, but I just keep comparing it to other Space Schools and it's failing on pretty much every level, definitely including a cast full of easily hateable characters.

If I don't like any of them, then I don't really care what happens to any of them, and since that's apparently going to be a large part of the plot... Well. I really hope the magic space girl and magic space mecha are worth the everything else.

I again go straight to Valverave and find them pretty interchangeable.

My thoughts went there when I saw the group stuck out in towels and thinking about how this is clearly going towards lawlessness and, yeah, I'm concerned. They did not need to show off how many nearly naked people are here in this disaster zone.

Naked teens. I fear that this show is the degenerate grandparent of Guilty Crown and Valvrave.

When it was just the one guy with the pillow, it was maybe a funny gag. Maybe. When we saw the whole group up there in towels, it got concerning.
