| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Things are getting messy, hope Section 9 will get there in time. |
 |
| I loved the insert song they played in this episode. Will check out the OST. |
| What a cliffhanger!!! Love this show's soundtrack!! Kaze please don't die... |
 |
| Dam this is too good *sob* Love the OST and the presentation is just beautiful! |
| Pardon me, but, shit just got real. |
| Agree, the OST to this show is awesome (: |
| So much suspense... AND THE TENSION! What an episode, so Ghouda is messing things up, that rat! I didn't quite get what is Major's plan, I guess we'll see. |
 |
| is the old man that was talking to Kizue is Aramaki??? i mean he looks like him not to mention same VA and all. Ishikawa is badly beat, but he's not giving up and willing to bring the other plutonium to spring 8 :P it's good Motoko and Section 9 was able to relay the message to Kizue about the attack and such. damn it seems gouda is now starting his play, with him being the producer and all. cannot wait for the last 3 episodes. i wonder how will they resolve all of this?????? the music is awesome as always :) fight hard Section 9!!!!!! |
| One of the best OSTs I'm sure |
 |
| Well, the Refugees are sure stupid. And that isn't Aramaki, it's Aramaki's brother. =P |

PrinceHeir said: is the old man that was talking to Kizue is Aramaki??? It's Aramaki's brother. You might recall he was mentioned sometime back in season 1. |
| Yep! But at 1st I thought it was the Chief [because of the voice] using another person to talk with Kuze but halfway to their conversation I remembered that Chief has a brother..Last 3 episodes! |
| Shit is going down. Refugees will get owned by the army. |
 |
| What an insane episode and ending.. |
 |
| Decent buildup episode, things are going to get quite interesting soon! |
 |
| Ohdamn, things are getting intense. Pretty much thought it was Aramaki's brother straight away from how similar they look along with the same VA. |
| Shit's going to go down :O So fucking intense! |
| Powerful eyebrows. |
| Fantastic. I like to OST in this episode. Aramaki's brother is here. Need to watch the next episode. Hope that S9 will succeed in this mission. |
 |
| Looks like...war has begun. IMO, 2nd GIG wasn't as greatly done as 1st GIG. I have noticed that the main plot of 2nd GIG focused too much on the skirmishes between the CIS douche (the scarface), and Kuze, to the point of downplaying Section 9, as if the whole incident was just a battle of attrition and patience between the ultranationalist scarface and the Indiv 11 went pro-refugee Kuze. Throughout the whole series (thus far), all I could see was the PM being used by the nationalist secretary and the ministers (along with the scarface), while Section 9 was desperately digging for information about both sides while trying to prevent a war, which is in a totally different level compared to them. IMO, the 1st GIG was more convincing in that sense, being caused by a seemingly inconspicuous hacker turned masses into hysteria and copycat incidents to surface. |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| That bastard... Goda is such a clever man. To isolate them from their leader like he did was pure genius. Too bad he's on the wrong side. Hope he get his ass kicked. Now all the Major can hope is that Kuze cooperate. She need to prove to the ONU inspector that the atomic bomb was just a set up. If she don't do it in time, Dejima will be a bloodbath, even more since they started shooting first. |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| 5/5 Plot it even more complicated, more than a third wheel, excellent story. Grandiose the way in which it is being narrated! : D A series that deserves another vision in the future, too many and too many links to other philosophical concepts to assimilate. Drawings discrete, not great because you always have ups and downs in construction. Animations excellent and very nice OST. It will be so naive as to be the S9 fall in the plane of Gouda? I think not! I think Gouda will have a nice surprise from the S9 and politicians. |
 |
| What's the song that started playing around 8 minutes in? |
| One wrong move is all you need to start a war. The kid with the sniper rifle, we can assume that had lots of adrenalin rush through him, clouding his judgement and forcing him to make a rush decision, which, politically, puts the rebels in a disadvantage in the international waters, because they shot first. The Prime Minister seems to be a puppet, or hold no power within her own position, which, makes me wonder how she got to be Prime Minister in the first place. Politics 101: You surround yourself with people loyal to you, while removing or giving lower power to those who might oppose you and keeping them in check. And for last, the background music during the conversation between Motoko and Ishikawa reminded me a lot of Requiem For A Dream with a dubstep flavor thrown in. (This kinda captures it better.) |

| Aramaki's brother :D Never expected an appearance from him lol. Looks like it has all kicked off. The next three episodes are going to be crazy. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Was Aramaki's brother voiced by the same guy that voiced Aramaki in the english dub? After I watched the episode I couldn't come to a conclusion whether it was a disguised Aramaki or not since the voice seemed so similar. The voice also strangely reminded me of the one from General Iroh from Avatar. |
 |
| Fuck ids habbening, that one chucklehead just couldn't help but squeeze the trigger huh? Goda is doing a damn good job of mucking things up again with his communication jamming. Also can't help but feel the chief would make a wayyyyy better PM then Kayabuki. Miragee said: Was Aramaki's brother voiced by the same guy that voiced Aramaki in the english dub? Yep same voice alright. Can't be the chief though since he isn't in Dejima (that's how it's spelled right?). |

| So it is a 3 parties? Goda,Kuze,Section 9. The situation is a mess now, lets hope for a great ending. Great Episode. |
| The animation was amazing this episode. |
| Much stuff happened this episode. And of course there's always that one guy who opens fire like a moron... |
| Well, as they say, when you have a weapon, you wanna use it.... fuck |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| For future me ;) If you forget: "Torukia" by Gabriela Robin |
    |
| Things getting really crazy, and that stupid kid who started shooting like he was a hero or something. And that OST was really something good. |
| Got confused with Kuze's revolution speech ... what with the talk of superstructure and Earth as a base etc. even Aramaki's brother seemed confused lol |
| Completely forgot that Aramaki had a brother, was so confused for a solid minute. And the action continues. |
 |
| Oh, didn't expect to see the Chiefs brother again. And well, shit just started to go down. Damn you Gouda. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Man, Torukia is one of the coolest OST tracks in any medium, nevermind anime. Just gives so much energy to any scene. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| They're gonna meet up with a terrorist bringing nukes? Sounds like a crazy plan that go really wrong. Besides their enemies could easily point to this action and accuse them of treason. I hope the major knows what's she doing. |
| People are never tired of war. |
| Deciding not to fire arms at all onto the military so the entire media and spectators would side with the refugees, morally a good plan to play the victim Then there's a dumbass who openly headshots a soldier with nobody stopping him, that escalated well lol |
| Please don't tell me the writer is trying to play Kuze and his gang of terrorists off as misunderstood good guys. The sooner they get trounced, the better. |
