| I felt this was a very good episode, one of the best so far. Aki's changing role as the stakes get higher made sense, but the real star of this episode was Sirk, in spite of her limited screen time. Overall this episode is a great example of what makes this a better-than-average super robot series: in many ways Dairugger XV feels like classic super robot stuff, but the emphasis on exploration, diplomacy, and politics (mainly the internal politics of Galveston) does a lot to make the overall plot engaging, and less predictable than many of its earlier counterparts. Where much of the excitement in Mazinger Z comes from Mazinger trying to keep up with its increasingly powerful enemies in combat, in Dairugger a lot of it comes from the more nuanced political situation, and the fact that Galveston is pretty consistently portrayed as a victim of its own political and military class in spite of the fact that its people are clearly not evil. The fact that Dairugger continues to consistently win against the Galveston battle machines just shows even more how their rulers are obsessed with their own power and prestige, at the expense of their subjects. |
