A fairly packed episode with new plot lines and lots of interesting characters. The fact the kid may absorb Birdy's being brfore thay can be separated adds some pressure.

Great intro to Birdy's home planet, her dinosomething coach was awesome. It looks like the real story is starting now.

finally, a good episode, after the crappy first three, now im happy not to have dropped the series... Deity is something else, new characters and the different enviroment was enough to refresh the dull air... Episode 5 seems up, im gonna leech it now xD

Nice episode, Birdy's teacher guy was cool, and now we're finally getting more into the plot.

New characters suck. Needs more Arita Shion. The city was sweet and the OP is as epic as everrrrrrr. 3/5

Better then the last three that i though where a bit boring. I might not drop this after all.

At first I found this series a bit weird, but now I feel like I've gotten some questions answered.

Sweet planet, thought the new animal/bug characters where weird at first but they seem cool so far. Pretty interesting.

The first three episode weren't boring, at least for me...
Anyway I'm still enjoying this.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

Great episode, a lot of information and new characters! Even one that has been voiced by Wakamoto Norio! So we know that character will be epic! The ending was also fairly interesting, so lets see what's next!

Great episode.
Why is this being rated lowly. Episodes of anime in 2013 are all rated much better. Even if they are crappy. I think people on these forums since 2007 were stricter with their episode ratings.

Anyways, the alien planet was interesting. I don't know how it could possibly be worked out for interstellar space travel to take 1 Earth Day. Even with warping, time dilation would mess everything up.

the second series is more like this, and more intense iirc. I remember it being much better than the first (which was still decent)

Skele---what was his name again was cool. Was he voiced by Wakamoto Norio?! *checks* that explains the awesomeness.

Well now we know the stakes, and I'm not trusting the super lawyer.

Well then, that was a weird and abrupt ending.
Good knowing what Birdy's position on her home planet is though.

So, thank god the effeminate side kick is gone, but oh no a troubling backstory for Birdy! Please spare me.

The way these past episodes have ended (abruptly, with death/mayhem/stakes being raised) makes the ending song feel really out of place.. Bombs go off, causing massive damage and undoubtedly killing innocent bystanders, some kid dies in the arms of Birdy and not two seconds later we get "Lets go! Have a good time! A peaceful, happy, cheek-to-cheek time for everybody!" lol

Pretty roundabout way of the Deity to let Birdy know about Ryunka. Nice episode showing Birdy's homeplanet, I quite like the lizard coach

Imagine how much better this show would be if it didn't have this generic ass schoolboy character with the generic ass crush and generic school life. This guy's only a bit better than Sam from the Transformers movies. If you're going to pair Birdy up with someone for a buddy cop show make it a cop or something. All the non-human elements are infinitely more interesting than the human ones.

I liked that we get a perspective on Birdy's homeworld of Lyralo, her hometown, and the judicial system there.
