Here I'll say it: not all hope is lost! The last few minutes gave me the adrenalin rush I haven't felt since ep 4. I know this is isn't primarily an action series but they could have add something like this to the 3-4 ep row of emoness.

There might will be a second season in the future, but I guess only if it sells good, not in the near future and with a different arc. I base all this on gut feelings.

Awesome ep. Despite the cheese (ya, Ogata's little episode on the elevator where she finally makes up her mind to ride again). I still love this anime. It really should be longer though :(

This was probably the best episode of the series IMO. There was a couple of moments that were chees like mangos said, but still great.

Yeah, she definitely does.

Anyways, I thought this episode set things up nicely for the conclusion. So far this series has yet to disappoint me, so I am optimistic that they can wrap things up in a good way.

Damn, that was completely awesome. Probably the best episode of the series, I'd think. And yeah, Tamayo definitely has a thing for Okakura, been feeling that for the past few episodes. I'm really quite happy with this series on a whole, so far. The adrenaline rush was quite nice at the end, and I swear every episode ends far too quickly.

Really wish this was a 24 episode series as well. There better be a second season.

I agree with Kvakond, this episode finally gave me back a bit of the initial great feeling of the show. Episode was not bad at all. The 2nd half was actually pretty good. Damn those cliffhangers.

MaxCrazy7 said:

I felt the same. There were also several scenes hinting towards that in quite a few of the past episodes.

I can't really believe that next episode is already the last one. The great initial setting would have allowed to make so much more out of this with some more episodes and a better storyline.

This was a weird episode for me. The beginning felt like an out of place recap, but the the second half was pretty good since it progressed the plot forward though.

I guess I'm in the minority regarding this ep.

I didn't care much for Rin's abrupt about-face. Just in the time it took for the elevator to get to the roof, she decided that instead of moping around and speaking against violence, she is now going to go kick ass?

At the beginning I really liked this series, but I think as it progresses it is suffering from the 12 episode format. Its just not enough time to tell the story they are trying to.

I think with 24-26 episodes, this series could have been great. I'll have to see how they wrap things up next episode, but I honestly don't see how they can resolve everything there is to resolve in one more episode, and still have time for the inevitable climactic fight scene. :(



I mean, it was inevetable I suppse but it needed more time. 12 episodes was really not long enough for this story and it is suffering from the rush now.

second it.
I want to know more about relations between all of them. Tamayo and Okakura, Okakura and Kiefer, Hishida and Shouko.

and this Rin's change of mind, so no more whining, let's fight, huh? too hasty...

That was a really nice episode. Rin's about to make up her mind, too. Rin's and Tama-chan's outfits looked pretty cool, I'm excited about the final episode.

Once the head guy at GGP dies I have a feeling the women that's always around him will take over. She's been abnormally observant and watchful of everything since the start.

I'd like to see a second season but it all depends on what happens after the GGP base is destroyed. The head of the GGP corporation could start an all our war on Japan or he/she could just ignore what happened and allow them to stay an independent nation.

Yep that was quite weird, it was like the director said we need her to go to this point so we'll just make her realize in the elevator that she doesn't want to leave. There really was no buildup for it. Then to put the exclamation point on all of it, they have the helicopter blow up.

Couldn't have said it much better myself. :D Started off lame and ended fantastically. The second half was made of win. Enjoyed it so much.

It's unfortunate that it seems like they're going to have to squeeze everything into one last episode, but... hopefully it'll still be epic!

Still, wanted to see more of the characters and their relationships flesh out...

It was an okay episode. Nice to see Rin and Fuego back together again. Not much else really. I got spoiled so much by the early episodes that when they shifted the focus away from Rin and riding Ridebacks to the terrorist plot, I found myself caring less every episode :s

I finally figured out how the GGP screwed up when they killed Suzuri in the last episode.........if it was really Rin on the rideback, then her skirt would have been waving in the wind. Suzuri was wearing pants....so it couldn't have been Rin. In this episode we once again have Rin flapping her skirt in the breeze just like a flag of freedom! If the GGP wanted to really stop Rin, then don't handcuff her.....just make her wear a pair of pants.

Meanwhile, Boob Soldier Woman makes a deal with the Good Guys!! Can they really trust a set of GGP boobs? We will find out......more popcorn for the final episode.

The only way this anime can frame the BMA as protagonists is by making the GGP have absolutely no moral or legal concerns whatsoever.
