Arrrrg Muginami is driving me crazy, I'm really starting to hate her. Lan, on the other hand, still has my heart. And what was this sparkley flowery stuff that was being emitted from Madoka's Vox at the end? Can't wait until next episode~ As always, I wrote a complete review of this episode on my blog ^.^ |

Now this is what the anime should be about, wholly. Everything was so epic, just needed to actually let Kirius get involved..and where did Array go? The take off sequence of the rocket was awesome as was the beam blast ---> cratar near miss of home base Muginami sealed her fate for me for becoming essentially Inoue level, such a terrible character in this anime and worthless. Worst character this season. She honestly couldnt fight back after all he did to hear :( |

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS ANIME ABOUT?!?! Am I the only one very disturbed by the fact that this anime doesn't explain ANYTHING??? The reason why I'm asking this question at episode 6 is because usually by now the viewer knows what the plot is. YES, the animation is very nice, the artwork is beautiful, and the characters seem pretty interesting, but.... I HAVE NO IDEA WTF IS GOING ON!!! The characters don't question anything, the story doesn't make sense...the only thing we know is that there are two opposing factors battling each other. |

I'm really having a hard time figuring out what this anime is about. All I really see is Mecha eye candy, and that's okay I'm just dissapointed that this anime isn't looking any more than that. One thing that kind of dissapoints me is that in the previous episodes Madoka was having a hard time just piloting the robot and now she's dodging a rainfall of bullets and fighting of space robot Apocalypses. Too sudden... too sudden... |

The animation in this anime it's one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. What was those flowers in the end and why Moid reacted like that? OBS: I'm curious to know about who Muginami shared her apple xD |

We absolutely have no idea what's going on, however, I can't stop myself from enjoying this show so much. It is definitely one of my favorites this season. |

Okay... For those who don't understand the plot unless it shoves to their throat with one big explanation, here is the summary of what happen till now... I take it from one forum: - There is an interstellar conflict involving at least four (humanoid) factions. Three of these factions (Earth, Le Garite, De Metrio) were introduced during the first episode, and we also learned that Earth and Le Garite are working together. In the fourth episode, we were introduced to a new faction, Kiss, and also the character of Muginami. In episode 5 we find out that Muginami has a connection to Kiss, but her origin is still unknown. Kiss proposed to work together with De Metrio, despite the fact that they don't seem to be on good terms otherwise (as shown by the character reactions of De Metrio cast towards Kiss). - The mechs in the series are called Ovids. There are also three legendary Ovids, the Vox units - Vox Aura (introduced in ep1), Vox Lympha and Vox Ignis. All of the Voxes have been found from Earth's oceans (ep4). The Vox units can only be piloted by a single person that has bonded with the Vox with "Memoria". There is also an old legend that describes the three Vox units as some sort of demons, that will raise to rule the lands through countless sacrifices. There were hints about a fearsome legend throughout episodes one to three, and the viewers learn about the contents of the legend at the end of episode three through the thoughts of an imprisoned Le Garite pilot. Conventional Earth weaponry cannot harm the Ovids, which we learn in ep1 when said weaponry completely fails to harm a De Metrio Ovid. - Ovids can be remote-controlled. The Vox units have two different forms, Piercer Mode and Warrior Mode. In order to transform into warrior mode, the Vox system must be activated by the pilot with an appropriate mindset. Being afraid or hesistant makes one unable to transform and fight effectively. The Voxes are the supposedly the most powerful Ovids in existence, but a good pilot with an appropriate mindset is required to fully utilize that power. - The main conflict seems to be between De Metrio and Le Garite. In episode two, Izo from De Metrio states that "using the power of Vox to crush Le Garite is our destiny!" and character called Moid from Le Garite also tells the captain of Novumundus group (Earth), Tadokoro, that De Metrio is currently engaged in a war with someone (though from the way he words it, it doesn't sound like Le Garite. Kiss, maybe?) and that De Metrio's "main force is coming" (to Earth) when said war is over. He could be lying about that, though. Tadokoro is suspicious about him as well. - Kirius from Le Garite contacted Madoka during a battle and claimed that they have no interest in hurting or harming Earth and its people, and they just want to get Vox onto their own planet due to some sort of crisis. How much truth is in that or what he left out is another question, though - especially with the line about crushing Le Garite mentioned in the previous part. - Madoka and her mom. Madoka seems to have lived with her uncle and cousin for a long time. She even refers to her cousin as a sister. Her cousin seems to know more about the robots/Voxes than she's showing, what with her telling the picture of Madoka's mom that "she won't let Madoka pilot stupid robots". Madoka's mom was possibly a Vox pilot and died? - Kiss is an organization, not a planet, with people originating from Le Garite. Villagiulio is an important figure in the organization, who also apparently had a close relationship to Lan when she was still a child. Lan's brother (mentioned in the flashback intro of ep5, now the king of Le Garite?) will probably play a bigger role in the series later on. Now try to pay more attention to the anime... |

Yeah, I payed attention and I got most of this - everyone else must have been distracted by the pretty colors - haha! Anyway, I actually like the setup - but I can tell that as the anime goes on, it will gradually get darker - I can't wait to see how it does that! Also, it may be worth noting that I think that it's Le Garite that De Metrio is fighting in space. I believe Moid and Lan came to earth to gain their trust and get the vox's ready, because Earth has all three of them, and because they do, De Metrio will end up attacking them with their full force. his is what he is talking about when Moid says: "De Metrio's main force is coming." |

The viewer is left to IMPLY what is really going on and the anime is hoping the viewer gets it right. Also, what good is it if I have to read what the anime is about from a fucking forum!!!

ichigo03 said: Also, what good is it if I have to read what the anime is about from a fucking forum!!! The people on this forum got their information watching the same episodes you watched. There's not even a manga or novel involved here - the anime is all there is. Also, this is the 6th episode and the studio is obviously planning on doing 24 of them (over 2 seasons), so solving all that stuff at this point would make the rest rather boring. The main focus of this anime is on Madoka, how she got sucked up in that conflict and how she and several others slowly find out what the involved factions are really up to. For now, Madoka fights for Le Garite because they got her first and it looks like they're defending earth from her point of view. They also got Lan, who is her friend and apparently a very good person. If all that mystery is not your thing, you should better drop it now. |

Interesting...if that were the case then one would wonder if earth as a destination was random or destiny. Not sure I agree that the Vox are intelligent, or even self-aware. Highly empathetic, for sure. They may 'just' act as a lens to (highly) amplify their pilot's emotions and convert such into function. Much like Roger Zelazny said of being a god: "Being a god is the quality of being able to be yourself to such an extent that your passions correspond to the forces of the universe, so that those who look upon you know this without hearing your name spoken." |

Either way, this anime reminds me of Asura Cryin, it doesn't explain itself for 12 episodes and then it expects people to view a second season?

Cratex said: Oh I understand your though train and indeed it may have as well be considering how the Vox reacted with Madoka';s feelings there. However I think it harbours those feelings to be more destructive and as a ends to that. Hence less you are a pure person, the Vox indeed may corrupt you badly.

Now I would take into consideration your theory but I cannot accept the AI thing. They do have a AI that is close to humans because Aura would not react to Madoka ins saving her nor would suddenly Ignis understand the feeling of Muginami and allow it form a trust bond of Memoria right away if ti did not judge her feelings to be true and trustworthy along with the fact it assessed all that and decided to do the Memoria. Now what you make of that? |

It depends. Some people are more patient, some less. When I watched Higurashi, I didn't understand sh** for more than 20 episodes, yet it ended up being one of my best experiences ever. ichigo03 said: Yeah, I got that, I think everyone knows the most basic parts of this anime.... However, it still doesn't make sense...why is Madoka doing all kinds of weird things without properly questioning what the motives are? Why does the story seem so convoluted? To keep the audience busy for 24 episodes :-P Concerning Madoka, I think Le Garite's best point is Lan being with them. Madoka made friends with her and trusts her (as I do, too), so she might think "If Lan is one of them and introduces me to them, they can't be that bad.". Also, those guys descending upon earth with huge, dark and armed robots, attacking that base and speeding towards Madoka's hometown definitely give the impression of being aggressors. It also looks like Le Garite's only significant fighting forces are the three Voxes and Madoka and Lan are in control of 2/3 of those, so they could turn on them easily anytime. Oh, and Madoka is still a teenager, so a little bit of naivete is perfectly natural and healthy. |

Character named Madoka. Pasty guy with a weird grin on his face all the time that is oddly suspicious. Frequent drama inserts. /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\ hmmmmmmmmm |

By the way, I don't say the AI isn't very intelligent, I try to state that I don't believe it is the AI that escape themselves here... I believe it is their pilots that sent them... I am not actually that smart to actually think any confusing theory so I won't talk too much about my idea of how these Vox operate... But at least I believe the Vox choose the pilot by certain standard... That standard in my guess is their nature: Madoka is free like wind, Lan is calm like water, and Muginami is passionate like Fire...

MarkS00N said: I'll just think positively that you simply not accustomed to how the story delivered... Dude, go back and read all the comments in this thread, I'm not the only one asking questions about why this anime is making little sense. About Madoka action: Just imagine this, you are a normal student with normal life, but suddenly an army of advance power attack your city without warning, you then approach by an opposing forces that help your city. Which side will you help? And as far as Madoka see, what the enemy keep doing is: attack her hometown and hurt her friends, why would you side with them? If you still can't understand why, just imagine this is your normal Shounen manga but you get the POV of the enemy as well... Why the plot sound convoluted? Because this is pretty much Mawaru Penguindrum style of story without up-to-eleven absurdity... About people who don't understand, as far as I see, only 4 people who claim don't understand the story... Let me get straight, you want the story be summarize like Bleach does, but that isn't how this anime try to explain things... They try to give you Madoka development first so when she actually get her hands to the war, the war no longer belittle by her sudden emo or such... I believe they want the war to be epic and Madoka become part of this epicness instead become the gear that ruin such feeling... Hope you all understand... |

I appreciate all the responses for some of the comments I made, I definitely don't hate this anime, in fact I love the animation and artwork, simply fantastic!!! However, I still feel that this anime is very confusing with very little details being known. Hopefully it becomes more clear as the episodes go by. |

Well to all of the people saying they dont understand you do realize this is the 6th episode of 24 right? Not everything is explained right now. You probably arent supposed to understand everything. If you knew everything that would make for a very boring plot. I hate anime that treat me like a 7 year old and explain every single thing that is going on. Personally I was surprised that people seemed to have issues figuring out what was going on. Make sure you arent using a crappy speedsub because sometimes the translation makes it hard to understand any of what is going on. Anyways I cant wait to see exactly where this show goes.... I kinda want to see it get darker. They will probably move out into space sometime soon and into the forefront of the war. |

It was an interesting episode I must say. I'm confused as to what the blooming is going to actually do. I must say I was annoyed quite a lot by Muginami, the guy tried to kill her for god's sake and she still protects him. Those type of women who have grown so attached to a man to the point of stupidity really piss me off. Actually I have noticed that I hate 90% of the characters Kayano voices, and then I am indifferent to the rest, you'd think there would be 1 I'd actually like. |

Doesn't matter where this anime go. Three thumbs up for the vox's taking off and straight into sound barrier break. especially when muginami took off, i saw that clip like 10 times over! I seriously don't know what is going on and into 6th episode too. But I will stick with it since I am already half way there. The preview of the next episode will say what happened in the past, but that guy freaken shot at her. There is no coming back. And if he turns out to be in the good side without any legitimate reason for pulling that trigger on her, I am so going to rate this anime a real low. Animation as always, has been of top quality. And the girls are still pretty much likable. But I am not sure about Muginami yet. She was just being plain stupid but I hope they do a good flashback on her to show what she did wasn't an act out of whim. |

Still remains my favorite of the season. I also have my suspicions about Moid....something tells me he isn't so innocent at all... and yes.....Rinne blossoming? What in the world does that mean...? |

I hope the people complaining that this has no plot or that it's hard to follow what's going on never try to watch something with a truly confushing plotline they really will be in trouble. |

WOW! Did you see Mamiko Noto not giving a damn about indirect kisses? Did you see how she drank the rest of that cup noodle because eating it otherwise was too time consuming? What a boss. |

I have tbh - I'm not really into the cutesy stuff and even the storyline overall - but visually (esp. the mecha and the backgrounds), and aurally this series really is a treat - I love how the Vox's shoot out that little circle when they take off... |

What's a Rin-Ne? I can't blame Muginami since she was adopted by Vuiguiro or whateverhisnamewas. Moid is really suspicious. |

"You're only doing it for your own selfish reasons." Haha listen to the hypocrite talk XD I seriously Lan or Madoka bitch slaps her back to her senses once this battle is over. Schedule her for a personality transplant too because I don't think I'll be able to stand her until the end >__> |

I wonder what Smiling Guy's agenda really is...and how much he's been manipulating things behind the scenes. Although, he _was_ surprised at the result of Goateed Yankee's actions; well, wondering if that had actually been his goal, to be more precise. Because he recognized right off just what had occurred. I think that was the first genuine expression we've seen on his face. Just wondering if they all played into his hand, with that expression. Those Rin-ne blossoms look an awful lot like the blossoms of the flowers in the garden Lan and pre-attitude adjustment Goateed Yankee were in, back in the flashback. Coincidence or meaningful? |

"Selfish" is the last word you could use to describe Madoka, and yet it's the first criticism that Muginami could come up with. Presumably, particularly intense emotions are what cause the Vox Aura to unleash these "Rin-ne" blossoms. Looking forward to seeing exactly why said flowers are so important. |
