I was thinking the same thing. Also, Barnaby in a speedo. What is this I don't even... The fujoshi must have had fun with that scene. >_< |
| This show insults intelligence. I can't watch it anymore ;_; As much as I would like to finish it so I could say it sucks from the start, I'll just have to be pleased with fact that I made it so far. Gawd, it's so bad. |
bwahahachick said: I approve of this episode's use of the penis imagery with the fountain. I thought it was pretty obvious that Cis was a robot. I wish the staff made her more "human". But it was still sad nonetheless :( I really want some one to tell him instead of waiting there thinking she's coming back :c |
SuperLlama said: This is exactly what I came here to post.Oh man, I'm getting flashbacks to that one Outlaw Star episode, where the exact same thing happened between Jim and one of the Anten Seven. |
| YES!!! I knew Kotetsu wasn't that Old, me and Astute Otaku has been guessing late 20's or older 30's forever and it feels good to know we were spot on. Makes sense too, him doing it for 10 years makes puts him at 23 when starting the Hero business, makes sense to me.... Hopefully, this will chill out some of the folks who go EWW when bringing up the Blue Rose crush. The fact that she's probably 17 after the 10 month gap, and he's barely pushing into 30 means this relationship isn't impossible. All he has to do is wait a year.....18-20 year olds dating 30 year olds is VERY common folks.... |

| Not arrested, but they wouldn't be getting nice looks from people. The age of consent in japan can be as low as 13 in certain areas......nasty, but not illegal. 16 with a 39 year old might not be common here, but in japan, it does happen. Especially with situations like arranged marriages. |

Remember this IS anime, Sunrise at that. Look at Koi Kaze. He was 30, she was 15. And they were brother and sister, so our situation isn't as bad as it could be. |

longshoremanX said: Japan’s penal code does not apply statutory rape to a person over 13. What I'm saying is that its ok cause this is anime, not real life. Most sexual objects in anime and manga are almost ALWAYS the generic high school girl. Hell, most Hentai shows girls under 17. I'm saying that because we don't live in japan, we are not familiar with their customs, that's why something that might seem gross to americans is considered a fetish in japan. Same with the link you showed me, that's american opinions, so of course we say it wrong, cause it is by american standards. But in anime, I see no problem with age difference in relationships, cause its fiction. All in all, the anime character Karina aka Blue Rose being 16 is all numbers, and does not really reflect in her appearance and personality. They made her wear that VERY revealing outfit for a reason...why? Because of sex appeal. If the animators feel that she is old enough to be represented in a sexual and mature manner, then I'll take it as that. Real life 39 year old and real life 16 year old? Burn the bastard with Fire. Anime 39 year old who barely looks 26, and a anime 16 year old who looks 21, I have no problem with this. Remember logic and Anime NEVER goes hand in hand. |

| Never said I'm rooting for it, I said I won't have a problem if it happened. And beer goggles.....seriously? Don't you dare look at this woman and tell me this looks 16 |

bwahahachick said: I approve of this episode's use of the penis imagery with the fountain... Oh Sky High! He's so awesomely awkward. It was painfully obvious that that R. Dorothy look-alike was a robo, but not to him. It kinda reminded me of episode 19 of RahXephon, except Ayato eventually figured out what he did (damn that was depressing). It's painfully obvious that Tiger is losing his powers... and fast. I don't wanna believe it. I really don't.  |
 |
| I really like how Bunny is happier now, it makes it a lot less irritating when he outshines Tiger. Both characters have really grown on me throughout the series, definitely a solid show. I knew the girl was an android from the first moment. Not only because of her mannerisms, but also because of her resemblance to R. Dorothy Wayneright from The Big O. Her creator reminded me of Dr. Gero from Dragon Ball Z. I feel really bad for Sky High (but the part where he destroyed the android was awesome). In any case, things are really starting to get interesting. |

| So the most depressing episode so far involves an albino Dorothy clone and a penis fountain? All my wats. |

I could have gone my whole life without seeing this. |
 |
| im glad to see oragami is getting points now :D i feel so bad for sky high though and oh my gosh Kotetsu ;-; |
 |
| In general the episode was a little boring. O.o but Tiger is loosing his powers. I want to see what will happen |
| The situation with the scientist was awkward. He didn't seem to have evil intentions at first, but was ultimately written off with such thoughts. Or maybe it's just Bunny's views that screwing it up. To create an android with the purpose of helping people there should be no problem with it being powerful. The guy even said that she was malfunctioning so why did Bunny get so upset? Did he really think his parent's research would die with them? Bah whatever. I usually despise goody-goody characters, but I think it's safe to say Sky High is my fav in the show. One of the ultra few exceptions. Too bad he destroyed his lady friend :( I wonder if he'll ever find out. It does seem like the android stuff will be brought up again so I guess it's possible. |
 |
| Wow, what a really depressing episode. D: Poor Sky High. And it looks like my prediction that Tiger's power is devolving is pretty much confirmed. I have to say though, Bunny's complete 180 turn in personality freaks me out a bit. >.> They have to reveal that Jake wasn't the killer of his parents, and soon! It's just too weird having him be so nice XD |
| SKYYYYY HIGH! |

| I think this episode was just awkwardly written. As Monochrome mentioned, the way the scientist dude was handled was very sloppy, also it's really hard for me to give a shit about the death of a character who only appeared in one episode. Even more so because her "relationship" with Sky High was badly done. I kind of like the idea that he was just forcing his problems on her by way of dealing with his loneliness, but I don't think it was well done at all here. This show has become rapidly less interesting the last 6 or so episodes. |

LadyBolet said: Imagine Sky High, a week or so later, still sitting there. "Yep, any minute now.:D" I though I saw a Metropolis reference in there. My heart is breakin' for poor Kotetsu. Indeed, the name "Rotwang" and the fact that he created an android fits quite nicely. It even looked a bit like the android from Metropolis! :) |
| Poor Sky High. |
 |
| Poor Sky High this episode was similar to that Outlaw Star one where that kid keeps meeting that girl then they were suposed to meet but they kill her and he didn't even knew it was her |
 |
| shame Sky High was in the dumps :( lol Blue Rose getting jealous over the radio when Kotetsu said to girl she is wonderful XD and did Barnaby had to pose like that XD and yeah wtf are those kid reporters asking and all. so Barnaby's parents research is still going on huh? shame Barnaby had to destroy Cis :( how can you resist his smile? :P so Kotetsu is really losing power :( NOOO! :( |
| Hmmm! I was surprised Sky high couldn't tell that she was a robot- I mean he voice was obvious like "why?" x3. It's kinda sad, he killed the one he /loved/ and he didn't know it. I expected something tragic- but I guess what's tragic is him waiting on the bench all night for her. I bet he'd be heart broken... I'm more concerned about Kotetsu now though! |
OnyxEyes3 said: Also, regardless of how interesting the information is, chatting while your partner is getting his head repeatedly slammed into walls is not cool. :\ IceAndCream said: I would rather he does. (As hard is it might be for him to deal with, I think it would be worse if he was there, always waiting for her in case she ever came back and/or wondering why she never has. Plus, I just think it would be more interesting. /shot)I hope Sky High never finds out he killed his girlfriend. Oh, and in regards to Tiger's power problem--FIX IT. FIX IT NOW. My little fangirl heart won't be able to take it if things really start to deteriorate. T_T I completely agree with you. >.< |
| no |
| Must be painful to know your love intrest is an android that you killed. That is double the pain. |

| Poor Sky High :'( he killed the girl/android he loved and didn't even know it. It also looks like Kotetsu might lose his powers, i hope not. and dat Barnaby fanservice |
| Poor sky high :| pretty nice episode though! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Nice! Sky High got some character development! I hope Sky High gets another episode dedicated to him because I feel like he didn't get enough screentime despite it being his episode. Dat Barnaby manservice O _ O Cis being an android was pretty obvious. I'm surprised Sky High didn't catch on. Poor Sky High. He killed Cis without him even knowing. Seeing him sit at the bench with the flower bouquet alone was sad. Oh shit! Kotetsu powers may be declining! Great episode! 8/10 This seems like a good stopping point for tonight. Definitely will watch some more of this tomorrow night! |
| I guess I am the only one who thought this episode was funny lol. Wasn't it clear from begging she was a robot? Unlucky, Mr. Sky High. PS: Penis-shaped fountain LOL. Gold. |

| Dorothy? Is that you? |
