| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was perhaps the most impressive fireworks display I’ve ever seen in an anime. Seriously though, I’m really liking what they’re doing with this series. This episode was devoted almost entirely to the Maihama server world, which is actually a good thing. I’ve always thought that the stronger half of this series was in the server world with Ryoko and the others. In this episode, Ryoko is beginning to notice that things aren’t right, with people disappearing briefly in front of her eyes and buildings temporarily going to ruin while she’s filming them. And the others detect that she’s showing signs of awakening. And then there’s the scenario that Ryoko wrote, which mirrors the real world (the battlefield world of ruins, the boy losing his memory to a transfer error). If anything, I think the lovers in the scenario parallel the story of Kyo and Shizuno. We know that Shizuno has feelings for Kyo, but that he doesn’t have all his memories of what happened to him before all this. What he has to do is to figure out what those memories are by finding the equivalent of the rainbow shell…unless it happens to be broken too. Their romantic relationship hasn’t really gotten much focus for a while now, so I do hope that they build on that part of the story more. |

| Ryoko is showing the signs of awakening. I wonder how is she going to take the shocking truth that the real world is in ruin. |
 |
| duuuuuuude |
| I love the sketchy story Kaminagi wrote, also because of the fact how it describes the real story. Really nice. The ending was beautiful and sad. I like how they have handled Kyo x Kaminagi so far. |
 |
| Ryoko awakening is really going to complicate things for him I feel. Like the new ED a lot |

| Why did they have to switch the ending :( And damn, did not know that about Kyo, it makes sense why he is able to pilot a mech so easily. |
| Loved the ending song... |
