So how does everyone like their Liang Qi, and in just the first 5 minutes too?

What a sudden death for Kenji though, at first. I still didn't quite get the switch they pulled off, mind filling me in?

Some more awesomeness comes from everyone's favorite taxi driver. :D
I'm HIGH TENSION!

It was super boreding.

;(

The only good thing was the Taxi Driver.
And Liang Qi didn't even get to do anything.
I want some more action.

Too many Canaan/Maria moments in this ep.

Bombing the building along with the president? Wow, that's a bit crazy. Makes you wonder if they'd do something like that in real life. >_>

Pretty interesting ep all in all.

The security video had been overridden. The tape sequence shows that there was a pigeon that flew across the screen when Kenji leaves, but when the bomb exploded, the pigeon disappeared. It means the explosion part of the recording is fake. There was an explosion, yes, but it was not Kenji's car. This was probably done on purpose to force the US to send the bomber.

Is there even a need to ask ? I wanna give her a hug and let her abuse me as she pleases if that can ease her sadness, if she want somebody far more better looking than Cummings, of course.

1/5 ep, is prolly what I said during the first 10 min but...

_ Good action from Canaan: +1

_Alphard beating the shit outta Moe shit girl: +1

_Preview of Santana & Hakko kissing: +2

Hence, 5/5, as usual.

_Alphard: "I will throw her away"

_Me: "F$%k you !!! B#$ch !!!" which I reserved until when I know her true motive for saying that.

Also, LOL at anime Dick Cheney & Colin POWAH, especially Dick, gotta love his name ;)



I thought I saw a similar scene before but forgot which serie is it from, someone with his or her brand new memory card can HALP me out ?

Agreed. Either she dies or grows long hair. One or the other.

The Canaan-matrix part was hot. Need more of that stuff.

Maria needs to step her game up or gtfo the screen. If she gets captured again after this I will personally jump into the Canaan-universe and finish her off by choking her with her own beautifully long hair. Mark my word.

Hakko should just be amazing and take over the show.

Great episode. I really loved the voice acting, it was really realistic!

Liang Qi going nuts was insane (she really didnt know what to do!), i wonder what she'll do now... and i didnt like the Alphard's coldness towards her.

Taxi driver and Mino were awesome! "HIGH TENSION!"

I wonder what happened to Canaan? Has she lost her power?

Anyway, great episode! I give it 5/5 for awesomeness beyond awesomeness!

Awesome episode, it had everything.

Bomb hacking
Epic taxi driver
Explosions
Alphard being badass
Canaan being badass
Liang Qi losing it


Liang Qi seems to have escaped, I'm expecting a face-off between her and Canaan (unless she's lost any meaning of going on. What Alphard said was pretty harsh. Still, I think she'd want to take some sort of revenge on Canaan.). And I guess we'll finally learn more about Hakko in the next episode. About time. Also, I wonder if YunYun will make another appearance.

I think he was more interested in being shot again, which is why he was surprised when she got the monitors instead. It's not like it'd hurt them.

She stared at the screen and saw some PRON. It's the PRON's POWAH that gave her strength to misguide the missile, what do you expect ? Don't underestimate the POWAH of PRON, you !!!

Index ? As in the show with nothing but LOLI ? Oh, and a brotagonist who spew scientific SHAT for 3/4 of an ep & end up Falcon Punch everybody, no matter it's a girl, a child, his own mother ? Like he was a domestic violence addict or something ? Oh, it's that Index, I see... May GODDESS Kanzaki bless this dang show *worship*

Best episode so far!! Very intense. I actually said "Holy Shit!" in sync with the the pidgeon scene.

Loved Canaan's "hacking" bit (I think that's what it was?), though I'm still very confused as to what her powers do exactly. It almost seems like an all too flexible "Deus Ex Machina" kinda thing where she can use them to get herself out of just about any situation.

Very interesting developments with the Alphard vs Canaan rivalry. Looks like Alphard believes she's beyond the name "Canaan", whatever that means. Also interesting to see Alphard, who obviously has a grudge against Canaan, doesn't let that grudge get in the way of her objective. Alphard seemed completely indifferent to her this ep.

Liang is a total psycho, but I guess one can't help sympathize with her a little because of the way her sister treats--... No. Honestly, she's just a psycho... A very attractive psycho. With a pellet gun.

Side note: I especially like how they actually get different, more qualified VAs to speak all those different languages, and not just get some japanese VA to butcher... speak all the english lines (can't really speak for the chinese and german, since I don't know any). The deliveries were a bit stiff, but most of the lines didn't require too much emotion anyways.

I'm starting to really hate having to wait a week between episodes... :/

My poor, sweet Liang!

Wow, I was not expecting the Alphard/Liang break to occur so soon! It makes me wonder if their scene in the opening titles was indeed foreshadowing all along. The way it's edited makes it look like Liang pulls a gun at the back of Alphard's head - and she in turn jolts and turns around to look. And of course we have in this ep her literally doing that.

I guess the question now is whether Liang will 'pull the trigger' or hang her head and try to get back into her sister's good graces. I hope they will make out in a few eps. I mean, make up. Make up! Um... honest!

Looks like there won't be any S&M LiangxCummings for a while. Alphard has trolled my fandom.

I hope we get more of an explanation on Canaan's hax synesthesia because as it stands, it was kind of ridiculous that she was able to hack into the guidance system with her eye powers and cause the bomb to miss.

Edit: Oh yeah. HOREE SHIT!
