Ginko is the hero we need :o

She came to help Souya when he needed the most. Felt like a buildup episode but I feel like the pacing slowed down somewhat. Meanwhile, there's some misunderstanding between Nozomi and Souya.

That Shirashi girl also keeps me the creeps especially with her hypnotic-like eyes.

This is just getting better and better as we learn more (about practically everything...) and the Sci-Fi part develops. I think it's due to the way it started (by throwing you into so much, with such a fast pace for that arc), but only in the last two or three episodes am I really started to get invested. The world is actually interesting now, as are the factions, the races, the dragon and Mr and Mrs Cat.
Which kinda makes me sad cause I feel like a bunch of people have dropped this already.

And it's a shame that there's only 5 episodes left, feels like this anime would have been better suited to 24 with how ambitious it seems to be.

The people of paradise, heh. A completely new faction was just introduced. People who see them perceive them in their own way.

Nozomi is definitely special now confirmed with the hypnosis not working on her. It worked on Souya though so she can't be a Siriusian, me thinks?

Benika and green hair dude join the sealing faction...where did that come from? Are they under hypnosis but wouldn't that be too easy of an explanation?

I feel bad for Sensei during that flashback. At least he managed to save Souya!

Shiraishi is making her move! I didn’t expect members of Grand Paladin to join her. I’m guessing they are under Shiraishi’s hypnotism.

No idea why Nozo would be immune to her hypnotism. Takashi was also immune which makes it even more confusing.

This anime keeps getting better and better.

This episode explain about the world but i still dont understand much. At this point I cant see the connection between some characters and which side they are. Someone need to do a brief sumary of the war in this world. Overall the anime is weird and funny at the same time. And many question. The character/mech design, the way they talk indirecly, the MC memory, etc.

Btw Shiraishi's suit look sexy af.

We get to see Shiraishi, a girl who affects people with her hynopsis through her eyes, and a new faction too.

A slow but pretty good buildup episode. I'm definitely interested to see what's next, especially since Souya doesn't seem too interested in it at the end.

Basically, humans are evolving to obtain psychic abilities. The main character's planet had the same thing happen, but Nebula (the galactic federation) saw them as evil because they used their psychic abilities to take over other planets, etc.
The main character was saved as an example that his race can become good people. Now, humans are starting to develop psychic powers, and it has caused a conflict. The main character fights for the 'Pacifist' faction, which wants to let humans develop their psychic powers to prove that it won't necessarily make them corrupt with power. The current villains (represented by the dog) are the 'sealing' faction. They want to seal away the evolution of humans so that they can't develop psychic powers, to prevent any risks.
The human defense force, which got defeated last episode when the dragon-reincarnation died, was fighting to isolate humans from the galactic federation and allow humans to develop psychic powers, specifically so that they could enforce 'justice'/equality onto humans without the interference of Nebula. Hope that explains everything. what's going on now is basically infighting between two factions of Nebula who have different opinions on what Humans should be allowed.

Wow that makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
Maybe the sub to my language is not that good so I don't get what the character said. The English sub should be better.
Edit: I realized I mistook episode 6 and episode 7. Probably due to delay in fan-subbing to Vietnamese, two episodes came out close to each other. Waching ep7 clear alot of confusion.
Anyway, pretty nice episode.

OH MY GOD, THIS SHOT IS AMAZING:

Well, that was half build up and half flashback. Interesting background concerning Sirius, Sensei and Ginko. That speech between Sensei and Dragon was really good!

Now, Souya is awakening his Psychic powers? that sounds interesting... I almost didn't recognize Shiraishi, she looked like Harumi.

This was another great episode and felt like really short. There was quite lot of new interesting twists particularly after watching flashback makes me view Ginko's character in different way.

Today we know the past of Ginkgo and Sensei
Ginko is a princess on her home planet Riel, I always thought that she came from the same planet as Souya, we also knew a little about Sirius, Souya's home planet and why they were attacked by the Dragon.
Miss Shiraishi returns, this time as a student of Souya's school, she tries to hypnotize him, but with what objective ?
Fortunately Nozomi appears and saves Souya.
A new character appears with the appearance of Souya's brother, this is presented as an emissary of The people of paradise, Souya also awakens his psychic powers.
Shiraishi appears again, this time along with two familiar faces, Benika and Yousuke, who join the sealing faction, this one declares war on Souya's side.
Effectively a new combat is approaching, adding the changes that Souya is experiencing.

Sensei saves Ginko and Souya.

Nozo is unaffected to Shiraishi's hypnotism.

^^^ it is not good

People who enjoy this shit anime either have shit taste or never seen a good anime. I did not even watch episode 7 yet and probably won't because it too boring. By far worst action anime in this season.

J.C.Staff made a lot of good anime, but this one is among the worst they made.

and with this infodump virtually everything is revealed about the backing plot, really liking this set up for the main conflict of the show, the whole idea of humanity becoming too evolved to the detriment of all others around them and what way one can actually contain that is a concept i really dig and hope the show pulls off well.

This show is so damn underrated how is it still below a 7?

So... humans about to unlock psychic abilities, an alien emissary named Karellen... and another alien called Rashaverak !
And now ! An... alien race who elevated itself above the physical reality !!

OK, it's the saturday cartoon take on Childhood's End !

4/5

@CodeBlazeFate I didn't know the creator was a fan of Arthur C.Clarke. (good thing I read the novel this summer before I continued this series XD )

Guessing Shiraishi hypnotised Benika and Yousuke to defect from Grand Paladin. At least, I'm hoping that's the case, because the only other explanation would be that both of them are dumb as rocks, which would be unbecoming of them.

Souya needs more character development. As is, he's established as a callous guy who can't see the forest for the trees; yet, despite disassociating from the spacial geopolitics on a personal level, he also fights against his own interests with the sort of fervour you'd expect from someone with much stronger opinions.
