Anyone noticed the yin and yang symbol on the unfirms of Abh?

You know what would surprise me? One anime where the MC's don't get onboard the most powerful ship in the fleet. True, it's reasonable for them to be on the best ship, but.

It would be quite hilarious to actually tell someone they're half cat, unless it would scar them.

So . . . Was like half of this episode just speaking about how the Abh reproduce?

Anyways, it looks like their is still a force strong enough to oppose the Abh, too be honest I thought they were conquering space unopposed.

Lafiel and Jinto really click. They act like childhood friends. I felt like I was just listening about Lafiel's childhood but then I realize she has actually explained the whole Abh reproduction process.

Her father is such a troll haha. He probably dotes on her that's why she think he's irritating.

I loved learning about the systems of reproduction and parenting in Abh culture, and that they still value love. I think that is what still makes them human

Poor Lafiel, thinking she was half-cat. It was still pretty funny in a way, but I couldn't help but feel bad for her eight-year-old self.

I'm glad that "children of love" are still considered the norm.

Before Jinto tried to refer to her by her title, I already realized that there was significance in Lafiel giving her given name rather than her title or surname. I can see how they could relate on being treated differently.

I wish she actually was half cat. That would've made it more interesting. I wouldn't mind being half cat. I'd definitely like to have a tail.

Can someone please inform me more of this anime? I'm a bit confused about the backstory, relationships, character statuses and who they are fighting war with. It's not the animes fault i think but mainly me not getting the full picture. There seem to be kind of different families/races and such i don't really get was is going on even when the anime feels so detailed.

Still on the fence about the "naturalness" of this dialogue because characters seem to be saying a little bit too much, but holy shit does this show have a comfy atmosphere and good characters. Episodes are flying by.

Slowly but surely this anime's starting to grow on me. How fleshed out the Abh are makes this really interesting. Lafiel makes a great female lead too. Hopefully this'll just keep getting better and better

A princess?!
They are both in a somewhat weird situation with their nobility that gives them a connection.

Looks like action soon.

They're explaining alien procreation. They also offhandedly shrugged off same-sex procreation and incest, joked around with adding cat genes, and a number of other things. This was all supplemented by the really pleasant elevator music OST. I'm not exactly sure what to make of that conversation, but I guess that was supposed to explain how different the Abh are?

I will say though, I still can't get over how Lafiel is 16. As a race that's stated to live for over 200 years, Jinto somehow managed to befriend a teenage Abh. A princess no less, and one that's uncomfortable with her status too. Wow.

what bothers me that it feels like the show adapting from novel very line by line narrating every single lines. Its just not creative and feels very dull by today's standard.

Same. Also the conversation about blue skies being rare tying in with this anime's dark aesthetic with old school style that I love. I loved this episode...

I'm loving the dynamic between Jinto and Lafiel! Looking forward to where it goes from here.

Surprisingly interesting for an episode that talked a lot about Abh reproduce.
The half cat part was pretty funny.

Abh reproduction is impressive. I wasn't even sure if the cat gene splicing thing was a joke at first. You never know how intricate genetic engineering in fiction can be.

The United Mankind might give the Abh some competition. Bound to make for exciting drama when they're used to planets being either destroyed or surrendering without much resistence.
