So I guess Gauche somehow shot a Shindan to get the artficial sun back and lost his memories of his mother?

LOL at Sylvette's soup^^

So basically Gauche must have lost all of his memories and is living a completely different life....

Hmm so we wont get to see Gauche for quiet a while :(

I really like Aria , Gauche X Aria looks perfect !!

What was the main power of gauches Shindan , was it mending or curing something broken ???

The episode was too short...want to adopt Lag and Niche :D

Niche was so cute (again) today.

Something tells me by the end of this, Lag is going to shoot off a major shindan and lose most of his memories.

ANYWAY. Don't read that.

Good episode. I liked the Aria and Lag scene on the hill. And if it's fillers coming up...I don't know, I guess that I wouldn't really mind all that much. It'll depend on the quality of fillers.

Well Aria mentioned about the similarity between Gauche and Lag before..and she mentioned about some race..that they both Gauche and Lag and Sylvette from the same race.Silver hair is one of the unique identifier for that race..what was it called?

Ah, it all boils down the the government, artificial light, and the Day of Flicker. Hopefully, Lag's missions will build on one another, giving hints and leading him to Gauche, instead of being fillers before he gets to the main capital.

Niche, again, is the best eye candy ever.

I'm sensing something like Lag being somehow born with the piece of Gauche's heart that he lost. Or its reincarnation. Or whatever xD Something like that.

Niche is cute, Zazie is cool, Aria is hot, Gauche is awesome...is there even a character I don't like in this series?

Somehow, that's what I though as well.
And I can't help but think this after hearing Zazie say that if he's not careful he might shoot out a few memories, what if Gauche on that day somehow shot a powerful shindan at "Hindenburg", losing the memories of his mother because of it, and hitting the airship so it crashed? : D (And then it continued further away and somehow reincarnated in Lag)

I getting really curious as to what they are gonna do with Gauche's story. If he has in fact lost his heart (or memories), he probably won't have a clue who anyone is when they find him (if they find him). I also wouldn't be surprised if he and Lag are in some way tied together (both are Albisian, and Lag was born on the day of Flicker).

And yes, I too like Aria Link.

I'm excited for the rest of this anime, I hope there won't be too much filler though. Does anyone know how long this series is supposed to be? 26 episodes? It doesn't say on its page.

I was wonderin that too..the manga is still ongoing and there's only little over 30 chapters released so I highly doubt that this anime will hav 26 eps. On animenewsnetwork it says only 13 eps...so if that's true then this series will either hav a crappy end or then we get to wait for a second season in the future...and i hope for the latter.

D: You know, I did think I was going a little overboard with my post, and now I see that I was completely right.

I do understand that people haven't read the manga and are coming in totally unknowing of the story and plot (and that my spoiler tags should be nicer). I guess that I, like other manga readers, sometimes find fault in the animes and don't like to see people guessing about the thing's happening that have technically already happened. But that's part of the fun isn't it?

Anyway, I apologize. I hate to think that my comments might be doing to other people what the Bleach Anime comments are doing to me (eg, pissing me off).

Love this show. and really liked this ep. So Lag's a bee now *smiles* and Niche makes my day as usual. Lol for her running around from brushing her teeth! And a racing wheelchair!! XD Seems like Nich was the only one to recognise the soup the second time.
Next episode looks interesting. The name really got my attention. Can't wait

I agree with you completley. Otherwise, why even mention the Lag was born on the same day Gauche lost his memories? Making it coincidence would just ruin it.

"If u blast out such a powerful shindan , your memories might even fly away and never come back " So thats what happened to Gauche... He lost his memories...

Lag can help him if he find and give his gun to Gauche cuz that gun's his memories. But i feel like Gauche turned into a bad guy.

I like blue-purple background colors of this anime a lot. The place where Aria and Lag talked was so beautiful. Aria is so beautifull too. :))

Saying things like that are spoiler-ish too, you know. We'll find out for ourselves, thank you. No offense

Gauche was already awesome as an eleven-year-old. Which makes me think. Is looking older that you are in the family? I mean, if Lag is twelve now, than how is Gauche supposed to be eleven in that flashback?

Ah well. Don't really mind though.

Well, taking into account that Sylvette is twelve just as Lag, I think it's not Gauche that looked older than he should in the flashback. I think it's Lag that looks younger.

Anyway, I loved this episode. Amberground is just so beautiful... And that place Aria took Lag to (the "Hillock of Prayers" or something like that) was stunning. I'm happy with each little new thing they show about Gauche so the flashback was amazing.

Sylvette can't walk because of an unknown disease, Lag's mother was taken by strangers. Gauche lost his memories for mysterious reasons, and the artificial light can have an adverse effect on memories, for reasons unknown. It's also a secret why that aircraft crashed on the day of the flickering. Sylvette and Lag were born on the same day for, again, mysterious reasons... This series better start making sense soon, constantly introducing melodrama and more and more questions instead of answering questions could get kind of tiring.

Well, it's not all that bad. At least now we know that it's a certain empress who runs the place, as far as the public knows anyway. And there's a religion involved, too.

Aria is okay, I guess, but we have still yet to see her actually do something interesting. So far she's a love interest for Gauche and Lag's slightly inconsistent boss. And that's it. She may be cute, but so far she hasn't really done much.

Oh man, I'm just glad there's no love triangle, at least not yet. And so far Niche hasn't shown any jealousy toward Sylvette, except for "A-cup angst". I've seen enough of stuff like that for a lifetime.

I think they're abusing "I'm losing memories" too much in this anime. If Gauche loses his memories again, i'm going to be disasspointed by this anime.

Lag finally gets his uniform and I love that hat so much... as of now he's instantly earned his way into my favorites just for being the cutest anime boy

I love the imaginative world this story has, it's haunting and beautiful. There is one thing about it that I question (for very nerdy reasons) and that is the lack of a star close to the planet means... it would be unbelievably COLD in any star system. There are lots of worlds where sunlight cannot reach, like Pluto, where it's just a distant star larger than the others and the surface temperature is about -380. But apart from wearing hats and coats, there isn't any sign of it being cold or any snow or ice. It's also hard to understand where they get vegetables from, since they need sunlight to grow.
The artificial sun they have does not produce enough heat to warm the whole planet, or even the nearby town. Another issue is human's need for sunlight means if an artificial like this existed- settlements would be crowded around it and people would be near it, gazing at it, all the time. It would not be in an isolated place.
Still I loved how when it goes out, the sky lights up with a zillion stars- that is very realistic of what the sky is like without the pollution of artificial light.

I admire the depiction of midwives, and the childbirth that the mother does not survive.. I haven't seen scenes like this since, Mushi shi. In a dark and desolate world like that, mothers dying in childbirth would be so common. It a hopeless world.
So obviously this artificial sun is connected to hearts and memories

My favorite repeating joke in this show is everyone reaction to the bad food Gauche's family makes.
