Once again in the cafe Moco shows that she is becoming a little more human as she exclaims over the effort that Ai puts into her music video...I still believe that in the end the major villain will not be the planetary gears but Puck, the ever-honest computer.

I hate it when the villian is using something that prevents the use of one single, very specific move, and the good guys are dumbfounded "oh noes, we can't use x, there's nothing we can do to stop him".

How about shooting him, but not killing him? Like, use less power, aim for the foot or an arm, whatever. Or knocking him out when he's grabbing Hana. She could also easily have knocked him out at the end where he was standing behind Daichi. But she's just standing around.

Maybe he could even have shot that detonator, usually detonators do not prevent bombs from exploding, but send a signal to make them explode. No detonator, no signal. Bit risky, but they pull off stuff like that all the time.

Most people are also not prepared for the guy the are aiming at to grab the gun etc.

And that that guy turned..kinda stupid. They should have have beat him up in the process of disarming him and throw him into a cell together with Ai (though she unfortunately escaped), so he can begin to understand what they are up against and what amazing feat the Midsummer Knights achieved.

Funny also how the Ark faction suddenly has a backup ship the moment one of their own may be the one to destroy the one we know about. Especially that guy was blarting how it's the only chance and they can not sacrifice that ship..but the moment he gets asked how come he would sacrifice it? "Oh that ship..thats no problem, obviously we got another one".

The whole struggle by Salty Dog/Ark Faction against Daichi etc. was pointless with that line. They need a ship, Salty Dog doesn't care about the one on the space station, so just give it to them. Maybe they'll really get rid of the planetary gears, all the better, and if not, at least they are dead without you getting your hands dirty. On the contrary.

On another note, I see the gears losing their ship and ego blocks and just becoming humans and then living normal lives. The short pants girl and sonic will probably hook up to.

It's kinda odd how they intro'd the leader of the gears and yet she has done nothing. Now they only have 3 episodes to conclude this.

Music: Ok
Animation: More than Ok, plain awesome actually.
Story: crap, tastless shit, over abundance of cliches, its like a cliché party.

Seriously, I'm still watching captain earth cuz of respect to bones and their awesome animators who still draw mecha and all by hand, yet, their sure are unlucky... they got stuck with some pretty bad writers. For example: the turn-around of the salty-dog dude that kidnapped Hana, the Machine Godfellow who just talks with clichés.
The deus-ex-machina saving Teppei.
The sudden shed of tears by all of the Tenkaidou crew-woman who have shared a few moments with Teppei on the screen. It's like, crying out of manners, not because they actually feel that way. The writers sure aren't doing their best when thinking of ways to relate to the public the feelings of their characters.

I'll finish this show, even if it kills me. Just so I can rant about it with due knowledge.
