I can't believe Dan is in the news again, he did manage to stop what he was going to do so a warning wouldn't hurt =.= Finally we got introduced to Flora's sister(Aurora) who seems more mature^^ James wearing the mask is kinda obvious in the OP but i didn't expect him to use it to break Dan out of prison :D OMG! I was so glad Dan manage to reach the moon but then they got knocked back T.T looks like we are gonna have to wait for a while until they have another chance to go there =.=

So what is going on in the Moon? Are those mechas being used as slaves? And is the planet-side of the moon just a fake of lights?

Flora's kingdom is a "Everything that isn't mandatory is forbidden" sort of place. No wonder she wants to explore the world a bit.

I was about to say that Sela <3 saves the day but it looks like things aren't going as planned.

I laughed when I realized that they're inside one big ass basketball. xD

Iceman fails to hold onto Flora, Dan fails to hold onto Iceman and Flora, but Sela can pull all 3 of them onto the ship O_O

That hand just made everything this anime has done completely pointless.

And what is that about Dan being the one of legend or whatever? Are you saying there is a prophecy in a sports anime? -_-"

So those ruins in the desert must be made by giant basketballs thrown back at earthdash. Okay...

Glad I'm not the only one who was thinking about TTGL when that giant hand came out. Nice to see Dan in idiot mode again, that suits him better. :P

Something tells me that those lucky people sent to the moon are to become slaves or something like that, the OCB being another hidden recruitment. Maybe "Mr Perfect" wants Dan to go to the moon because he's... well himself, anti-authority and all.

that sela save was so huge! that's why i like her :)

still it was all for naught since they got slapped back down, and i dont get the moon at all. For what i saw it looks like a slave-type wasteland in some parts.

Wow.
Just when I was thinking, "What was the point of this episode?" I get my answer: to set back all the plot development that happened, with a twist.
Terrible.

Finally the Gurren Lagann references get poured on thick, and the preview for the next episode only seems to cement this further. I'd been waiting for 'em for quite a while.


Also I was horribly amused at the fact that the city officials were going after the "bigfoot tourist" as a terrorist but paid no heed to the fact that a dude in a mask with an apparent messaianic complex was going around blowing stuff up. It's like a very subtle wry political satire.

EDIT: Also, today is basically the 40th anniversary of the launch of the Apollo 11 mission. Oddly appropriate, no? (After all, in b4 all the comments of LOL HOAX.)

I am not surprised at the end of this episode because I knew that one was coming, and I am now wondering why that master hand sends them to Earth.

so they ended up in a kingdom where theres restrictions on pretty much everything, then dan gets sent to prison where he is rescued by "mr. perfect"(seriously?), and then get set into orbit where they're slammed back down by a giant hand, what the hell?
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

No suprise on Dan being a dumbass seeing how he can't even follow the simple rule of no mecha's in town. Seeing that end I guess Mr. perfect or should I say James' help and the rest left on earthside risking prison was all for naught with that sudden hand smashing the progress back.
