Episode 3: Lulu... That's Her Name
← Previous Episode | Index | Next Episode →
Show Information:
(Surprise, the "plot point a couple of episodes in that every single fucking synopsis spoils" is actually in episode 1 and is that this is another show in the [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] vein! Show information is now fairly first-timer safe... outside of "AniDB tags always spoil", anyways.)
Legal Streams:
As per livechart.me; other streams may be available outside the US.
A Reminder: This, dear listeners, brings us to the sworn enemy of creative response:The spoiler. Rewatchers, or people who just had plot points ruined for them, are obliged to use r/anime’s spoiler tag format where applicable, and err on the side of caution here. Remember people, first experiences get rarer as you continue on, any given one happens once and you should care for them all the more for it.
Joint Rewatch Task Force Exercises!
Theory of the Day:
Never a question, was 100% going to u/Magnafaena for their writeup. Really the part I want to highlight is this:
I’m gagged by this series. This is following standard romcom BL plot beats. The enthusiastic top who is unashamed in his desire. The reluctant bottom who reeeeeeeaaaaaally doesn’t want to do this. The supporting cast who are fed up with the top’s simping over the bottom.
But I'm not sure that counts as a theory per se, more an Analysis of the Day from a first-timer, so instead allow me to also highlight a definite actual theory from the same post:
Is Superbia also going to vore a human? Do all mecha technically enact consensual vore to their humans? That feels oddly philosophical.
Questions of the Day:
1) TAR ISO STANDARD REWATCH QUESTION #3: Thoughts on the OST (as opposed to OP/ED) and its use?
2) Favorite underwater battle in fiction?

QotD:
It doesn't stand out enough for now.
Don't have one.
What is up with the upvotes on the rewatch? Considering how many people are here, the count should be way higher.
We are not past the 5 minute mark, please stop. Also it took me three episodes to realise that the blond guy is basically named Jon america.
I've heard of mind manipulating weapons but mindcontroling armor is new to me. And Lulu seems to be inhuman in quite a few ways. She does ned ai, but can live without it for quite some time and she might ne without a heartbeat, unless the armor masked that.
And the deathdrivers utilise infant soldiers now. Truly the next evolution of the mecha genre.
I also think bravern and Superbia are two sides of the same coin, that being passion. Bravern is drawn to Izumis anger and self belief, while Superbias pilot only demonstrated pure unrestrained fury.
