----------------------------------------
In this episode, the great escape is done.

I didn't like the end, all those characters are dead that we just got developed. Momoko will probably die next episode too.

@mitamaking... worst is that you just might be right about that last thing... ;(... I kinda dislike that part of these series... it makes them realistic at the cost of fun...

I agree, I was enjoying this episode, right up until the heavy gunfire.... Though the Kuniko/Tomoka interaction was nice.

The teaser for next episode also seemed ominous, just when I start to like a character they get a death-flag....

I'm sure they won't kill Momoko off.

... I hope not anyway.

Tomoka(?) maybe, she doesn't really add all that much to the plot. Her part of the storyline seems to be over so there's no reason to keep her around.

That was interesting and I'm glad the creators didn't shy away from killing the inmates... but I agree that it does take away from the "fun factor". I also got the same ominous feeling that someone else mentioned from the preview... it almost seems like Momoko will be killed off.

when did kuniko get the chance to tell the others about her plan?

i'm sad that the others were killed even when kuniko said that she would be back to get them. i had hoped she would do it this time around because she promised the first time she was released from jail but not any more....

I hope Momoko doesn't die! I like her!

Of all the grand escapes I saw happening, the hot air balloon was definately the last! That was fun and creative, and made me like Kuniko even better.

But that evil woman! She pisses me off! And the way she treats that poor boy just makes me want to scream!

Can't wait for next week!

I think she'll die due to foreshadowing of what she was talking about with Kuniko in the prison. Also, the preview for next episode is kinda a big hint too...

I guess I am one of the few people that didn't feel or expect Momoko to die off next episode. Well the hint in this episode and the preview are really strong about something sad is going to happened in next episode, and it seems Momoko is the target. But well, at least as gogoulo said above, we should learn something about the earring before that.

Next episode is going to be interesting.

I'm still waiting for a good ep to come: this was a very cliche'd "Escape from Alcatraz"-like movie with some unjust deaths at the end.

I'm more interested into that sun/moon stuff, I hope something more gets revealed next week.

A great episode, IMO. While I don't like the fact that they never explained how Kuniko communicated with others, everything was great or shocking.

And why teh hell does this series have 6.95 as a score? There are far worse series with bigger scores.

Now you know you shouldn't completely trust the score on any website until you see it once with your own eyes. Did you realized that Haruhi 2 got the rank of #21 with just one episode aired? And if you have been here for a long time you should already know how the score on Mal works.

As for sun/moon stuff, well there is actually 3 of them.

You should have know it or maybe you didn't noticed it.

Most likely all 3 of them are being watched for some unknown reason. As you can see in this episode, the execution is not supposed to kill her but rather for her to make up her mind or testing her or something along that line. And with the impact of the death of those girls and Momoko(if that is the case) I guess this time she will make up her mind and take the position of the leader of Metal Age and fight against Atlas.

I knew there were three, I couldn't remember the third was "Land", anyway they just mention it here and there not fueling the mistery enough, to me. All three factions have a "mystery dagger" each who resonate, so I'm waiting fore some paranormal/genealogical stuff to link one to the other.

I'm paying attention to the show... It just does not seem to catch it to well. :)

NOt a bad episode, but the whole point was to test Kuniko to see if she would escape? I don't really get it.

I'm afraid the authors want to set up some background to develop the incoming main story, but... They don't exactly know what to set up.

I hope we're soon going to see where all this leads.

Exactly. But I really thought that they were done with that 2 episodes ago after Kunkio went all, "I'm seeing the internet" on us. This was just a sidetrack to (I suppose) setting up some comparison between Kuniko and Mikuni.

When the girls were selling themselves to the guards, I kinda got a bit mad. Sigh, I'm actually pretty mad.

lol, did kumiko seriously expect the girls to live? what the heck? or when she said "it was just my imagination" she knew it all along but didn't tell momoko?

so the little girl comes to the top. things are getting interesting. but did she summon the solar eclipse by herself? i guess not, since the woman was telling her about some good news.

Well, so long for all the inmates, it was sad but added some brutality to the series,
Finally the sun and moon will meet face to face (I'm looking forward to momoko's and tetsuo's meet-up).
