I actually thought Cosmo would have a nervous breakdown long before this episode. I felt for him. Camyula was so kind to him...much kinder than those on the Solo ship.

It seems cosmos took a liking to that obaa-san. Based off what he said maybe she reminded him of his mom. Sad days for cosmos.

Great episode. The animation quality really increased. I wonder if I''ll be able to find a less blocky looking verson of the show cause it's getting pretty intense visually.

Best episode so far.

Could definitely see how this episode could inspire NGE with Comso's internal struggle and agony once Camyula died.

That scream at the end,goddamnit I love scenes like this where the voice acting is so well done and perfectly placed/timed.

The acting by Cosmo's seiyuu in this episode was really good, especially when Cosmo was terrified during the Buff Clan attack.

Also, this is easily the Tomino-est episode so far and i can only expect it to get Tomino-er.

Thus the misery truly starts...powerful episode and best so far. Also agree with you guys, Cosmo's seiyuu gave it 110%, really great performance.

Okay, NOW I can see how this might have led into Evangelion. Holy crap.

I didn't see this woman's demise come at all. ^^"

As soon as the hero isn't almighty anymore, he breaks down pretty quickly. Well, after all, he's just a kid who faced death.
Like it wasn't enough, he killed the Commander by trying to extirpate the her ?! Eerk. It was about time he cracked for someone who lost his family and was constantly under pressure since then.

5/5


Is it me or did the Ideon howl right at the end?

Man, poor cosmo 😢

Didn't expect that woman to get "tominoed". That roar at the end of the episode give me chill.

That scream was just pure soul. The voice acting for Cosmo throughout the episode was really amazing.

Cosmo has it rough. Being traumatized by the Buff clan's surprise attack and having to witness someone that is really kind to him only to die before his eyes. His breakdown toward the end is so well done that I thought he's channeling it through the Ideon and it's quite a powerful scene. I like how the show escalated slowly becoming darker and darker.

That PTSD :(

I expected the woman to die to bring Cosmo out of the slump but that Ideon scream at the end was ridiculous.

the scene at the end with Ideon's scream was wonderful, it gave me chills.
the best episode so far, i can see why evangelion took inspiration from this show, I fear this will be the last sane moments of Cosmo, this episode was very hard on him, with the near-death experience and also Camyula's death.
she was kind to him.
