I LOVE Freedom, Otomo is such a genius ! I believe it's the best thing he has done besides Akira, and I consider it being even better than Steamboy.

GREAT episode! The Planet of the Apes reference was hilarious, haha. Cant believe they turned the show into a road trip across America, just genius. And those alien suits, haha.

Great ep, made me raise its score.

OMFG they landed in LAS effing VEGAS (i live there) HAHA
The whole thing reminds me of the end of Planet of the Apes (lots of 'of's)
Well this anime is definintely getting good quick.

Funny place to land from space, but im still kerfuffled about how that landing didn't blow them to bits. Its obvious Kazama's calculations were off. So they should've disintegrated to tiny bits based on how hard they landed and how deep of a crater they made. Why is there a giant freighter ship in the Mississippi River? looks way too big to be sitting in St.Louis.

We could only hope life after civilization would be as peaceful as they portrayed it. Did anyone catch the poster of hard gay in the van?? HAHA. Wierd how they were going up towards DC when that is completely the opposite direction of where they're going. But St. Louis is a good departure point i guess. Halfway through the episode it definitely started to turn into a typical anime. I was hoping it would actually get a little more serious but its obvious that isn't going to happen :(

The cityscapes are just amazing to look at. I still cant believe that most of that stuff is hand drawn.

That was pretty sweet, watching them take off and land back on Earth, to find it in ruins but more than inhabitable again after the Apocalypse wore off. Dr Zeus made me LOL, even tho the 'impact suits' were disturbing ;p

One thing that bothered me is the fact that these kids should have, at the very least, been laboring heavily just to move their bodies when they first landed. They're going from an environment with very little gravity (the moon) to one with 'normal' gravity (Earth), yet it doesn't seem to bother them at all. Maybe Eden has an artificial gravity generator to prevent degeneration ... or maybe it's just a show and I should really just relax :P

Yeah I had bunch of technical questions last time but I've decided to just stay on the fourth wall where I belong. LOL

Didn't like the whole thing with the suits and road trip to be honest.

OMG, I'm soooo thrilled I came across this Anime!!! Progressively it's becoming one of my favorite ever!! I can't stop watching it, I watched first episode when I woke up in the morning, drinking my coffee along watching, now It's just past 12 o'clock and I'm eating my lunch in front of my computer (which I never do) as I can't get enough of it as characters (main protagonist) have grown to my heart in the past few hours!
This Anime is getting better and better! In episode 4 it genre became road movie with plenty of humor and interesting characters.
I LOVE IT!!!! 10/10!!!

I can't believe you guys?!? Didn't anyone notice that what you're watching is actually DRAWN, it's fiction, it's not real!!! Looking for mistakes such as what's real and what isn't?!? How can you watch any movie f.i., guessing if the story could happen in the real life or not?!? That's plain stupid! There's thousands of facts that doesn't hold water in any Anime, yet alone in sci-fi one...
