So one of the three AAA are to be chosen to inherit Atlas... that is an awfully interesting twist. Plus the plan to burn Tokyo down is quite something as well.

Good episode! The thing with Takehiko at the beginning was a little weird for me, almost like it was out of place. And then after it happened, it didn't seem like it really happened at all.

Momoko, I love you. I will never tire of your sexual innuendo XD
But I do miss Momoko's blue hair. I liked that hairstyle the best. That said, she looked pretty good at the end of the episode, hah.

Can't wait for next week!

Karin getting freaked out by Mikuni (several times) was fun.
This episode had some really good development, and things were said clearly... until now the inheritance was basically only hinted at.

Do we assume that Takehiko is now dead? At first I thought she was just annoying, but I've started to like Mikuni's character.

DorKarin is fun to watch. x'D
Although she can be kinda annoying..I don't seem to dislike her. She's one of the funniest characters in the series who's funny without even trying to be funny. xD

Thank gawd Kunihito finally comes out! x'3
I wish to see moar KunixKuni (lawl Kuniko x Kunihito) interactions and developments!

I agree! I love Momoko's silly innuendos myself. xD haha~
And same with the blue hair. ;'3
I like her hair that way too. -nods-

And yey~ for the development of the story!
It's getting a lot more interesting now! x'3

Suddenly getting suprisingly good, despite still disliking momoko, I have started to love all other characters. Naruse may become all right as well... now that all other characters have developed this much. If there is a kunikoXkunihito ending then my rating will probably be a 10-1 ( the 1 due to momoko and the girl shooting which was just to absurbd)... Can't wait for monday night, might stay up actually sunday evening to watch it at 3:00 am :P

so karin did akihabara, and even took over all syndicates and made them into one, but unfortunately is now working for mikuni and her strange powers; so why does kuniko want a bomber? fire makes those things go off at once, then again if hit so hard and fast i doubt they could do a thing

Karin was funny like people mentioned.....

I really don't understand the extremely low scoring for this anime though. Because it's Gonzo, people have low expectations but still...I think it deserves a higher rating than the 2000th harem ecchi series of the season. And I can't help but facepalm at this:

07-Ghost: 7.65 687th place
Umi monogatari: 6.99 2055th place
Shangri-la: 6.90 2241th place

I mean, WTF? I think this anime should deserve at least a score of 7.5......And personally, 07-ghost was so boring I had to force myself to watch it in order to finish it...Seriously?

True true, Umi monogatari and Shangri-la are so much better than 07-ghost.

Very good episode imo.

07-Ghost is such utter crap that I couldn't stand watching it anymore, and actually dropped it. I can't see how ANYONE can like that. I mean, it's way too slow-paced. Boring as hell. Every episode I've seen was 20 minutes of torture.

Anyway, Shangri-la. It's really getting interesting now, with all the characters meeting and interacting. It's already been said, but I'll just repeat it. ;P
I agree on Karen being a lot of fun. I'm scared of Mikuni, though. Lying to her means death, it's still scary.
So, those child sacrifices Takehiko mentioned before he died were used for Hiruko-something? Mi-ko is scary as hell atm, I don't like her new form. Momoko is still awesome, though.
The three Ahikabara geezers are getting kind of annoying now. Never were funny, definitely aren't now.

And Ryoko should get shot. Seriously. What a complete and utter bitch.

Carbon credits are actually an existing idea that the UN have been gambling with during the treaties dealing on enviromental protection (the ones the US refuses to sign over and over >.>). I believe the idea works differently, but it's based on the same thing. The companies and banks who follow certain protocols will get credits, which will have some form of value. Though I don't know the details and who knows if such a thing gets fully implemented any time soon, what with the US public still freely exclaiming "Global Warming, who is that?".

This series is rather on and off but is still passable. At least it's something different to the ecchi harems that are plaguing the anime scene now, like people here have said. I've even seen a few lesbian ecchi on the rise too. It's really preposterous how they multiply.

Yeah I agreed with you here and also the carbon system might get implemented but that is yet to be seen. It would certainly create good pressure to other countries to lower their pollution.

This episode was win because of Karin. She was amazing. From the sunglasses to her reactions seeing Kuniko and answering to Mikuni.

Belum_Nabum said:

Her company went bankrupt but as she said she had Akihabara in her own name so she didn't lose it. She bought it before going bankrupt.

Kuniko is going to create a lot of carbon problems while burning everything. I hope that annoys Ryoko as hell.
And yes i agree that this show deserves a better score.

What i don't understand, is what is the role of Ryoko if a AAA will inherit Atlas. I mean none of them likes her. That means things are gone a be bad for her when that happens. So i don't see her letting them take everything away from her.

Don't understand the relevance of "Atlas Points". Seems like an arbitrary and unscrupulous method of deciding the next leader for the installation chosen for the thrill of it, and I see no reason why offing Kuniko would make any difference in a floating city that sustains itself. Ryoko already governs Atlas as a dictator without any complications, and has attempted to kill Kuniko too, which would be counterproductive if she was really as necessary as these "Atlas Points" make her out to be. If anything, it seems like eliminating Kuniko would benefit Ryoko's control over Atlas, since that would mean a potential usurper would be dealt with.
