The one thing I don't get is: if Pitz can detect down to the date when the next Designers Child will go berserk and where, then why the hell don't they go LOOKING FOR THAT DESIGNERS CHILD BEFORE THEY AWAKEN?!?! They have all the resources in the world at their disposal and cannot even recover 8 little data files on those 8 children in time so that they can save them from Amara's lips? They even have the Pitz cheat where they know that the DC awakening will definitely be in that area, no? Why not go find them?
If Teppei can be swayed to this side, then why not the others?
Makes no sense to just leave them out there so Team Rocket can just go pick them off, now does it?


And since Globe has all those resources, why are they just sending teenagers to do all the recon? They could use their state-of-the-art surveillance techniques to find the Designer Children way faster than a handful of stupid teenagers.

I assumed they don't try to search for the children before because the squirrel can only tell their location a short time before they go crazy/awaken. Actually, I think a better question is WHY do they go and search for them? I ask this because as far as I can tell they have no real way of telling whose one and who isn't. So what exactly are they looking for?

A big fat sign over ones head that says "I'm a designer child".

On a serious note one would assume they would find the bad guys and stop them before they lock lips with them. In this case hacking CCTV cameras would be more effective though so I don't know why they ain't doing that. Don't want to cause problems?

On second thought, hold up, why doesn't he just skip the Robo suit and use the Livelaster EVERY SINGLE TIME INSTEAD? Seeing as it's even more OP than any of the guns that got blown up this episode....

From what I gathered I believe the energy output is based off ones "libido" which in this anime context: will power. I don't think he knew it would be that powerful.

As far as I know. They aren't handpicking people that have it rough, the Designer Child do ALREADY exist. Amara and Moco are using info from Puck to find them and restore their memories. Whether they have it rough or not is another issue altogether, or so I believe.


yeah, i know that. sorry. i just realized my post wasn't clear. it just bothers me that there's a pattern with the designer children. since amarok and malkin are trying to revive the designer children, i kinda wish all of them didn't have it rough. however, there could be a reason why they all have it so hard because they are designer children

This. And why cant at least 1 other designer child be even a little bit nice and not crazy? and no teppei at the moment doesn't count since he doesn't have his memories.
In fact, if this is any more predictable than I thought, i'm gonna assume that teppei will later either:
1.actually be able to do something for the team
or
2.get his memories back, and join team rocket.

I don't hate anyone in the series so far, its just that a lot of stuff is really...overused.......
I mostly just hate how all the designer children automatically turn evil after a kiss, and it seems that they all lost their memories at what looks like when they where what...6 years old?you where evil and deranged at the age of 6? or am i missing something?
Some backstory on before they lost their memories would be nice, instead of after loosing them...

Woah Teppei, don't say you serve at nothing, you pressed the big red button!

...

Hum yeah. So now we have an idol psychopath libido chaser. It's getting weirder and weirder.

Why didn't Akari called for help? ''My life is in danger, quick! I must threaten them of destroying the Earth and if they don't agree, I'm gonna fuckin' blow the humanity! Fuck yeah!''
Also, is it possible to not flinch at all while being shooted at? That bullet sweep throught her (getting a scar so perfect is not possible, but I can accept that for the dramatical effect) and she didn't moved an inch. I don't think Arnold fucking Schwarzenegger could do that! (Now that I mention it, I'm sure that I'm wrong and that he did it in some of his movies xD )

Will Daichi be able to preserve the humanity libido? Will he finally be able one day to man up and get in Hana pants?! (Come on, she got naked right in fornt of you two times! She's beggin for it!)

3/5

Episode with many flaws, I can not give that much as a vote. Akari is the only one that manages to be useful, the rest is just numbers.
Daichi is also little badass or intriguing.
The bad guys do not understand them, or the dialogues have made me understand.
I am sorry that there is still a strong surge or a mild slope of the plot.
Very beautiful and mecha designs, but storytelling at times leaves me appalled.
Another crazy joins the group of bad guys, it possible that everyone seems depressed at first and then become somewhat offset by the brain? Will we ever see the opposite? ^ ^ "

Which makes no sense at all. I find it hilarious that she was going to kill everyone if they forced her to kill a few people.. LOL what? Where's the logic behind this....? The funny thing is she basically allowed them to kill everyone and get what they wanted the first time around since she shut down the interceptors but when everyone is out of danger (but herself) she threatens to kill the entire world to save her own skin (which if they didn't go through with she would have died as well thus making her actions pointless because all she would have done was make the alien people wait more years)? What a selfish and illogical girl.

I'd like to think that taking the impactors offline was something she did either a) as part of the process of hacking and taking control of their systems, or b) as a way for her to buy time to hack the nukes.

She's also faced with a pretty easy choice. If she kills the people that are defending the Earth, then the Kill-t-gang will reach the Earth and everyone dies. Or, she can't legitimately threaten to extinguish the sole reason they are trying to invade. In either case, all of humanity dies unless she's released. She might be a bit arrogant, but she knows (justifiably) that her existence is critical to the defenders and she mustn't be killed, otherwise the humans intelligence gathering and electronic warfare capabilities (including defense, Malkin likes to use computer viruses) would be crippled.

Akaris is a badass magical girl. But why can't she use this next time? Not like they can prevent her hacking the nukes. Heck, she could even include a backdoor, now that she hacked them anyways. Username "Magical girl" password "logical logical", voilà , nukes go off. And if she is just as serious as now, it would work exactly the same.

Well, okay, they are prepared as in psychological, they can think about whether they can wait another few hundred million years or not, but nothing else. Okay, not giving her a computer, but then capturing her - at least her in particular - is pointless.

I also think Daichi should have come from the bottom. At first he had to use the momentum given to him by the launch, so thats okay. But once he activated his own engines..

If they couldn't keep him up for that long because they overheat or run out of fuel or so, okay, but that wasn't mentioned. There is nothing that showed that he couldn't just start from street level and fly straight up. Maybe even come from behind.

And if Amarok can shoot that precise that it was only a grazing shot - how the hell did he lose his fights? Especially given that it was just explained that the machine goodfellows become like an extensiion of their own body. If anything, he should be even more accurate: The weapon is integrated into his body, and not something "unwieldy" like a pistol.

It's also interesting that this show featured 3 kisses, two of them girl/girl. Most romance anime feature at most one..

Why didn't they just kill her at the end? And if these designer children are so dangerous, why not just nuke the place before they can awaken? It's better to loose one or two cities than the whole planet...

"Why is Captain Earth so bad?"

Mmmuh, BRSxignition. Why indeed?

Nine episodes in and I'm still wondering that myself.

(and besides pandering purposes, why include idol characters? Trope is as tired as two donkeys that just did "it")

I can't decide which episode bored me more, this one or last weeks or the week before that one or the week before THAT one or the week before THAT one or the week before THAT one or...

And the dialogue, my goodness the dialogue. Predictable indeed, Kerozinn.

We just KNOW Teppei will blame himself. We KNOW Arashi will say empty words before going into a situation where he could get himself killed and then making it out alive. We KNOW Hanna will BELIEVE in X character. And Mahou Shoujo's dad? Does he have nothing else to do in this show besides be surprised?

Wow...entertaining...NOT!


I liked this episode actually, since it's main focus was on the interaction between the villains and Akari, the only main character I feel isn't completely paper-thin personality wise. This is the first truly good episode, and from here on out I felt the episodes get brilliant (though episode 1 was fairly good.) 10, 11, and 12 are spectacularly good, and rather than focusing on these dull characters, they introduce new 3-dimensional characters and focus on the villains that were actually interesting.

7/10 for this episode.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Yeah i didnt care for this episode, I liked how the previous episode added alot of humanity to the designer child and made him feel like a actual person before he regained his past memories, this one was just a bland girl who were pretty much told vaguelly how she feels rather than seeing it. The focus was on akari instead whos stunt was kind of absurd.

Is this lack of brain cells something that runs in your family or is it just you?
First shutting down the interceptors would only have been a problem if her friends couldn't stop that mech. Second if her friends failed she could well activate all the interceptor again. Or was that kind of thought too much for your mind to think?
Second she needed time at keyboard to gain control of the nuclear stuff. So if she didn't start deactivating interceptors after a while making him think that she was doing as told, the guy wouldn't let her continue typing shit on the computer and would have blown her head.
Third there was nothing illogical about her threat because it was highly unlike the Alien would consider keeping her more valuable than waiting a few billion years and because if they kept her the earth will lose anyway.

When you lack the ability to understand what you watch is no wonder you feel displeased. The show isn't responsible for your lack of understanding though.
This aliens are fucking immortals dude. The lived millions of years. When their memories wake up they get the memories of all those years.
Also at no point the show said anything about them losing their memories at 6 or 7 or 8. They were probably born into human bodies without remembering their alien memories and need to awaken them.

I like how Akari saved herself this episode, she stayed calm and stood by her own values. That was great! She also makes being a techie and doing hacking look like it ain't just a dudes' thing.
