| I know this is all fictional, but bringing something up that's very close to history of Yugoslavia and giving it a twist seems very controversial AO growing so fast as a soldier and pilot in just 10 episodes can be questioned as well The action scenes were great though |
| I'm still watching this because of Noah the Sloth. LOL |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Finally a bit of background on some of the characters (Ivica and Rebecka). Let's hope the series gives some more of these so we can get a better grip on the story (which is a bit confusing so far IMO). |

| I was a huge fan of Eureka Seven. It was unique and well paced. Unfortunately this show is anything but that. I've been watching it patiently, hoping it will break away from it's formulaic episode structure, but my faith has not been rewarded. Every episode they introduce a new secret, develop a character, elaborate on the political situation and drop some hints about the scub. For some reason they insist on following the same template for every episode lately. I swear this is exactly like House, if anyone has seen that show. I hope they will get away from this episode formula and start to really hammer away at the plot. At least toss us a bone, an appearance by Renton or Eureka. I'd even take that crazy white dog cat thing that Dominique and Anemone took care of. |
025 said: I have to agree with the assessment made by those suggesting the political commentary serves a role in the series more so in the way current situations in the political sense within nations where secrets are appearing are usually hindering Gen Bleu's efforts to operate effectively and complete their missions. While I won't go into the specifics for post length, I will say that each secret that appears more or less confirms my belief that secrets themselves are somehow replaying events that occurred in psalms of planets with the new secrets resembling the antibody coralians and how they attacked humans. The statement made by Truth suggesting secrets are not what we think they are gives more reason for me to believe this as well as his statement that human sacrifice will reveal the truth in secrets from the episode. In the next episode, it appears that either secrets or Truth himself will manipulate team Goldilocks into doing something but as of now I can only wonder what that is. If secrets possessed them then I can only think of them taking out the scub by themselves and their comrades from Gen Bleu will find themselves in a tricky situation as to how they can stop them. I am also interested in finding out how the battle between Truth and Ao will play out. Perhaps Truth will reveal some more information as to what is going on with either the setting or his motives for taking Naru. At this point Naru could be either Talho's or Anemone's daughter given that Anemone was special in that she had a natural connection with the coralians which might be expressed in her condition much like Naru's. This of course applies only if the events from the dream were true. Interesting point you got there with Naru's connection with the previous cast. I do hope things go smoother as to explaining what is going, because right now it's just an Evangelion spin off with each episode a battle with an Ang--Secret... |
Holobalobalo2 said: There's so much of what you said that's either only half-true or flat-out wrong, that it'd be maddening to address every single point. Just read over the whole thread, and it should address many of your "glaring" problems with the episode. People "disappearing" isn't because of ratings; it's shown Truth capping people right in the head at close range to dispel this possibility. There's also been speculation that these (disintegrated) people may not have in fact actually died at all (Transported? Truth even said: "Secrets aren't what you think they are"). As for Ao, he's a flawed protagonist; being headstrong and compulsive is a part of his character, and one that often gets him in trouble - recklessly putting his life on the line for the sake of others shouldn't be terribly surprising at this point. It only annoys me when he exhibits insubordination and it goes unpunished. I discussed U.S. military capabilities earlier in the thread, so I'll say only this - they WERE capable of destroying the secret, but it was much more economically viable to have Generation Bleu handle the task. As for the supermarket "moving" from Phoenix, it was Truth that put them out in the boonies with his abilities. The Okinawans have common access to these FPs because of the abundance of trapar mines, which the U.S. isn't known to have (it was even mentioned that the U.S. has had a pretty big lack of scub bursts in the past, which are needed to mine from). And to be fair, the U.S. hasn't been the only nation shown to be mustache-twirling schemers; Japan and even Okinawa hasn't been depicted much better in this regard. The reason for child pilots are explained next episode. With all that said, I'll agree that it wasn't the best episode - but you went pretty overboard there. |

fdsfgs said: Reading this thread I have to wonder if the people who say the cast of AO isn't as likeable as the cast of the original E7 chose to conveniently forget a large chunk of the second cour, where pretty much everyone on the Gekko was a dick to Renton, Eureka was ODing on trapar dust, and Ray and Charles were still background characters. I also don't see how anyone can say the last few episodes have been boring when there's been more than enough character fleshing and world building, but different strokes for different folks I guess. While I agree, you do have the benefit of consecutive viewings, whereas most people had to wait a week. I personally do agree, though. |
| Okay the character development is good for all...but can I get some plot progression now? Like Truth's plan? |
 |
| agreed what Ao did was not smart, there are many safer ways to experiment, such as first throw out a mannequin, then throw out a mannequin that is inside a tent the chief is cool at the end there, however the weakness of that secret is ridiculously big... |
| makes me wonder what the fuck was I doing with my life when I was 12... |
 |
| Some really nice progress, let's see what will happen next though. |
 |
| The secrets are learning. Identifying humans by shape. Ao figures out that they can hide in tents are he sees that all the mannequins are destroyed except the one in the tent. Interesting to learn more about E7 AO's alternate history world. Ivica fought in that world's equivalent of the Yugoslav wars (so things play out similarly in that regard). |
