| Hilarious how the Knight Sabers have enough money to build customized combat suits, but barely enough to afford an apartment in Tokyo. XD I decided the AD Police guy is my favorite. And not just because of the shades and the bike. |
| So far I'd say Priss is my favorite, I like her attitude. I wonder how Silia knows Mason, I remember him appearing in her flashback and, i'm assuming, he's the one who killed her father. But, I'm not sure. |

How could you have forgotten the whole flashback sequence in episode 1?:   And to make things worse, that sequence is extremely important to the plot, so it's not some unimportant scene that you could have forgotten easily. Not to mention the two siblings are like, the two most important characters since they are the leaders of the Knight Sabers, for Heaven's sake. |
The opening shot was hilarious, so many Top Gun names. |
| Wow, nice catch! |

Raitei said: So why did Sho's try to run back inside the apartment as the building was being demolished? Hell, why did then his mother run into the building? Just to go get some cash? It was obvious she was going to die because (once again) the death flags were all over the place. Unless she didn't die.. I couldn't tell where Priss dropped Sho off at the end of the episode, was that a hospital (where his mother was getting treatment)? Or was it an orphanage? Maybe some relatives? Who knows... Mason's death was crap... I thought he was going to be some big character, but he just died so easily. Which brings me to; what is even the point of making all these super boomers? They're all so weak compared to the Knight Sabers. And also. Why are the police so weak.... they can't even compete with the boomers... *sigh* Ignoring all that.. it's not too bad of a show.. Definitely was an orphanage. |
| So the Knight Sabers got angry at some guy so they went to where he works and killed him, leaving behind a calling card next to the pool of the guy's blood. They sound like a mafia. |
| Quite nice character development when it comes to Priss. And yes. Mackey is Sylia's brother. A perverted one. xD |
 |
| The 80's are strong with this one. That opening screen wih Top Gun names all over the map was hilarious. I thought Mason would have been a harder nut to crack and last boss (having the same voice as Char Aznable makes it a bit distracting I must say. Out of the other characters, Priss is not very smart, but she's tough as nail and has the attitude to boot. Sylia has probably the best backstory and I wonder what her relationship to Mason was. The character I like best though is the cop who's into Priss. |

| That was... awkward. |
| BOOOOOORIIIIIING |
| What the hell. The kid blew the candles but then just proceeded to play video games instead of eating a slice. Rude bastard. |
| Definitely weaker than the first two. Mason's death seemed more like an assassination than a proper battle. And the demolition scene was pretty dumb. Priss is so hot. |
| Yeah, that was pretty much just an assassination wasn't it? Leon said there was nothing illegal about what they were doing, though it was really shitty. The lady's death would probably be ruled an accident and not negligence or something. Hell, it probably would have been settled out of court and the orphaned kid would have been handed a few million yen in compensation. But they went and just outright killed the dude. And Mackie is a little Shit-heel. |

| There might not be anything illegal about evicting someone, but to do so without giving them any time to move out? |

You miss Sylia's personal resolution to fight and that's it. |

Nice to see the Ad Police kick Boomer ass for once. Too many "hero" anime show the authorities as complete imbeciles, but here they actually have some sort of coherent strategy. Though the footsoldier's antitank weapons are still inexplicably useless compared to the Knight Sabres' seemingly identical ones. |

"How old is he?" You're not very bright are you Priss? Was she supposed to know? The series takes place in 2032 and the boy's mother mentioned an earthquake "7 years" ago, that is, 2025 - exactly 100 years after a real earthquake in Japan. A reference, I guess. Pretty sad irony that she also died from an event that resembles an eartquake (from the inhabitant's point of view) I can't believe the sequence of Priss putting her suit on got reused. A relatively good-looking OVA didn't take a chance to make a different lewd sequence showing off a main character? No way! xD I like how Nene is always like "kyaa I'm attacked by a boomer and I'm completely hopeless lying on the ground" and then proceeds to accidentally shoot it to smithereens with her gun lol. Is Sylia the only one who knew for sure that Mason is a bad guy? It might appear so but then we have other members citing Article 2 about personal vengence as a reason for her not acting against him. Well, RIP boomer Char anyway, didn't take too long. Cool scene with him being reflected in his blood. Was great to finally encounter the song that got me interested in the OVA during the battle. Kuruwin said: What the hell. The kid blew the candles but then just proceeded to play video games instead of eating a slice. Rude bastard. He had a nice party...with his present. P.S. Another transforming bike, now a green one! Still figuring out the purpose of those 2...strings? attached to one of the suits. P.P.S. The Knight Sabers autograph looked slightly differently in ep. 1, I think. Rei_III said: @St0rmblade "Boomer Char" ? XD "Great to finally encounter the song that got me interested in the OVA during the battle." What was that song's title please? (It almost sounds like the first OAV's beginning wasn't enough.) Asu e Touchdown. Still my favourite one. Konya wa Hurricane was the only other one I've heard before watching the series, I think. Mason was not actually a boomer, my bad! |

| I wouldn't fuck with the Knight Sabers, but I do with the music. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Goodbye mr. Mason, you were a vile businessman and got what you deserved. I would love to have that 'Priss Live' poster (as shown at the end of the episode) in my room, she is very hot hehe. |
| The plotting seems a bit sloppy in this episode. I get that Priss is going to Genom to seek revenge and the rest of the team are backing her, but then Mason and the boomers all being ready like he's waiting for a duel... just feels like it needed a little something else, even if just a short scene, probably from the perspective of Mason or some other motivating factor. Lots of wasted potential for Mason as a villain in connection to Sylia's backstory, and I've always hated the bit where they lower their mask (cockpit in the case of mech shows is where this usually happens) pointlessly and get killed as a result. Also, I've gotta say, I absolutely love that they call them boomers. While boomers are not actually a negative thing in this world per se, we're only ever exposed to the negative aspect of boomers through Genom, so it feels like a slap in the face against the boomer generation. There might be some context in Japanese that I'm missing, but it's still hilarious. |
| Really hated the ending of this episode. So you're the only one who has taken care of this orphan and he sees you as a friend and you just, drop him away? What was the point of building their relationship if jack shit was going to be done with it? |
