Well all the girls did die, I am glad Kuniko found out so fast, dragging that stuff out hurts a lot.

Momoko got captured, not killed as I predicted.

And more stuff on carbon markets.

Wow this episode went from humorous tranny antics, to a heart wrenching scene at the jail. Kuniko's crying made my soul hurt, but I am glad she found out.

And while Momoko didn't die this episode, I still think that she might in the coming ones. Come on, the preview showed that earring hitting the floor, and earlier in the ep we got a flashback of the "Live on" speech. If that's not foreshadowing, I'm not sure what is.

As always, can't wait for next week.

Yeah, there's a lot of forshadowing about his death, that's gonna suck, at first I was "ew, transexual!" now, he's awesome.

That prison scene was sad.... glad it wasn't dragged out though. The final shot where they drew back and panned out was brutal....

Mind you, I did laugh when Momoko called Sayoko old and she (Sayoko) went weak at the knees, I'd almost put money on some operating-table-rape scene...

Is momoko really a "he"? I am more inclined calling him a she LOL

Operating-table-rape = awesome! Show her what real woman (she's a woman right?) is made of!

It was an alright episode but like someone else said it changed directions really quickly. I'm glad however that Kuniko found out about the girls at the prison because dragging that out any longer would feel unnecessary. Also I have the same feeling that Momoko will die within the next few episodes if not the next... because again like someone else said the past few episodes have had a large amount of foreshadowing. Can't wait for the next episode!!!

Hopefully Momoko will be alright because we're not sure what Sayoko will at this stage. The ending was just sad, Kuniko must be in deep pain after seeing everyone died =.=

Ryouko's the kind of character that either dies by falling from a height, or is coerced into helping the good guys.

Well, the eclipse was just a reference to how the sun and the moon meet. So thats mean the sun family and moon family were being watched for many generations a long time ago and both of them never met until now. But we still don't know the role of both of them yet.

I would guess the successor that the Hiruko said is referred to Karin and Medusa which might have something to do with Kuniko's dream at the beginning of ep3.

So now we have the sun, the moon, the land, the successor and Altas, and we are not sure about what kind of role they are.

As for the episode, I must say wow, man that is like over 50 girls lay down there. So I was right too about Momoko is not killed and he kind of awesome in this episode.

There's not much going on, they keep fooling around showing fragments... I'm curious about the satellite, it looks like generating a tornado, and it looks like some weapon linked to Medusa, a new awakened medusa.

Boring theories. I can't pull off anything better. :\

It seemed to me it was vaporizing water in the ocean to lower the water level. Of course, this will make a lot of clouds and rain as a result, hence the "a storm is coming."

That's a good one. Rising water level is caused by overheating, overheating is (in the anime) mainly caused by pollution (carbon pollution, I suppose). Lowering the water level might temporarily lower all the values on the carbon market, a good chance for the one manouvering the weapon to play with the market itself. Maybe the storm was just metaphorical, maybe not, we'll see.

I thought it was a tornado-like thing because it was somewhat spinning while evaporating... Maybe it's both! :P

Hope Momoko makes it, but somehow I'm doubting it. Sayako needs to meet her end, as well as Ryouko. Very interested in where things will go from here, can't believe so much is happening so early in the show. I'm glad I stuck with it this far, it's going to be one crazy series. The ending was quite heart-wrenching.

This show keeps getting better and better. The prison scene at the end and the scene the poster above me took a screen from were brutal. That flat-chested doctor and Ryouko seriously piss me off tho. It's been a while since I disliked two characters this much.

I took a time out from watching this series for a bit. But after watching the last two episodes, its pulled me back in.

Personally I think its shaping up to be a good series, aside from the intellectual post-apocalyptic environmental setting and the governmental rule of "eco-friendly, sustainable" themes that revolve around the carbon market. Personally I want to see how all of these elements tie together.

I think her hair are light green.

Anyway lot's of developments in this one. After episode 7 this series really got better. I had it on-hold after 6 and thinking of dropping it but now am glad i didn't.

So the little blond girl lost control of Medusa by that guy who made Orochi. Also Medusa seems to start developing her own intelligence.
The theory that is vaporising water with the satellite is a good one.
I wonder what will happen now that Ryouko knows about Medusa.

Two shocking scenes. The dead girls at the end of the episode and the little girl that was forced to have some dead guys spirit or something inside her. Really felt bad for that girl.
I don't think Momoko will die that easily.
This show is full of strange people. Sadist,masochist,trannies, whatever you want is there.

Still lot's of questions to be answered.

Oh yeah! i really laughed with the reaction of those guys digging when Kuniko appeared among them.

Damn that transvestite got captured, one hell of a weird process in that room filled with eyes (poor girl) and Kuniko sees the truth about the girls who're shot down! But what I wonder the post is what this Apollo satellite will be doing!

Well it was good for kuniko to find out about the massacre early to let the prison arc behind, but it was sad though,
Momoko got captured and I hope for the tropical fish partners t meet.

This could've been a hard hitting ending if they hadn't already told us what happened to the girls in the previous episode.
