----------------------------------------
Episode was tense.

I really like the pacing so far this season mid-way with the invasion and the pilots. The Aracdia Project also is taking its steps forward. Action the mecha is nice too and I find the coordination of the pilots to be well done. Again though, the battle struggles the pilots faces really brings out a darker side to the story. Loved the underwater fight this episode too..what a risky move!

Am at a loss now, who was the guy that "respawned" at the end of the episode? I was hoping for Kanon, but his face seemed familiar.

This episode was so intense. This one of the most nail biting episodes of the season. My Kaburagi Sui!

Also lol at Canon still being around.

You need to re-watch first original TV series if you don't know who he is.

Hope Canon can come back somehow...

Wow...I didn't expect Kouyou to come back of all people, but he's not using an Einherjar model so I'm not sure how effective he'll be in combat. And Hiroto is alive? Wat.

Kenji and Sakura finally married which means they're fair game to bite the dust or not. Anything goes with Fafner.

He didn't, he was turned into a Slave type festum at the first season.

THAT was totally unexpected, from all the characters this series had until now I couldn't expect to see this one showing up again, that was really interesting.

Also death flags everywhere...BUT there's still some hope for them.

Wait, does that mean that all those who died due to assimilation (including Kouyo and Canon) can be revived? That has got to be the single happiest twist the series had.


And man, that Kenji-Sakura wedding. These heratwarming moments are definitely what makes Fafner unique among mecha series.

in the first series when Kazuki's mother showed up on the island, he turned into a blue festum. He appeared in the movie as a core though

anyway Akira speaking with Hiroto is creepy... I guess that means he was crossing with Hiroto who has returned to the island's Gordion Crystal? Same with how Kanon conversed with Kenji. and wait, Miwa's mother isn't a fake? okay... Man I really love this series so much!
I hate myself for seeing the wedding as a deathflag. Pls survive, Kenji and Sakura, and make healthy babies.

Kouyo added to the ending

This is getting even better by the episode.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

OMG it was intense and what a comeback ( Yes Canon is coming back :D )
You will soon learn that a heart that choose to exist, even in a life filled with pain, will one day allow us to meet again.
With the world's blessings, we will meet again and again, forever returning to the homeworld we've yet to see.
Many, many times.

Mother of - It's Kouyou! I almost had a heart attack. And this leaves me wondering who's gonna pilot the red fafner?

I seriously jumped up in celebration at the end of this episode! My wife just looked on in confusion, but I was cheering like we just won the superbowl.

So it looks to me like Kenji's ability is to summon people from the Gordian crystals, as his accelerator kicked in as Kouyou appeared. I think it's more likely that he'll only be able to summon up those who died since the growth of the crystals, but then again....

...the new opening does show A LOT of dead characters. Shoko. Mamoru. Yumi and Ryou. And I think Ayano Kondou and Chisato Kodate. They don't seem to be leaving anything to coincidence and it really makes me wonder if we are going to have an ultimate happy ending.

OOOOOOOH SHIIT, fuck yeah my nigga kouyo coming back to save the day just like in the movie, i was really worried the plan was going to fail before then

This series is soul crushing but thankfully we have this one hopeful episode, it think everything on the island will turn out fine, its the away mission with kazuki and the rest that im scarred of.

flamerounin said:

Not even close, kouyo was assimiliated with the festum in season 1 which is why hes able to return like in the movie and this, hes merged with the island's mir but he never outright died like kanon, hiroto, or shouko.

However cause everyone who dies does return to the mir is kind of hopeful that their consciousness is still ever present in it which is kind of shown a few times in the series and also this ep with kanon touching kenji's hand. its still sad they are gone but at least they establish an afterlife of sorts, i wonder if any other dead characters will cameo, i imagine shouko might.

Emery gotta cry once i a while, too.

Another Kazuki and Maya scene with no confessing.

WTF at Akira just confessing to Maya like that. Sorry guy, but that's Kazuki's girl.

Festum forcing the Fafners to retreat.

DAT BLOOD!

Thought Reo's dick disappeared now, but it was just his leg. lol

Plan Division Phase Exodus.

Me: Roll credits. *ding*

Stop mentioning RoL. I keep getting feels.

Kenji and Sakura are getting married.

Seri: A wedding?

Orihime: If you help, I'll keep your assimilation under control and torment you.

Seri: Okay...Thanks, Orihime-chan. I keep getting worse.

Orihime: In your case, if you leave the island, you'll get better. But that means I won't get to torment you anymore.

Seri: I can't do that.

Orihime: If the time comes when you must, then do it.

Me: Orihime cares. :)

OMG! Seeing them hold the pictures of Shouko, Mamoru, etc. during the wedding got my eyes watery.

Damn. Just got married and already yelling at each other. :D

I thought Sui was going to die.

Kanon appears when the future arrives.

Who is that in the Fafner? HOLY SHIT! IT'S KOUYOU!!

Kouyou in the ED now with Kazuki and Soushi. Oh shit!
