MonadoRudra said: Not sure if someone mentioned this already but the voice actor for the Vers Emperor, Shinji Ogawa, sadly passed away recently, so we might not see him again for the rest of the season. It is really recent, and the voices are usually recorded with some time. He might have had a few episodes recorded already, especially since he has very little lines. Was it an illness, or an accident. If it was an illness they probably made him record before in order to give him time to rest and recover, if it was an accident though they might not have the lines recorded. |

Plus there is seriously someone still defending slaine o.O seriously, I mean i get some people like him as a villian but there is still someone saying "slaine did nothing wrong". I enjoyed the first half a lot. But this second half, yikes. It was by episode 16 that I realized that this was just going to be very very bad in comparison to the first half. In the first half, I was a Slaine fan. And I enjoyed the competition with the Inaho fans. But now, I dont like either of them. Ever since they took out Saazb (my favorite character), its just meh. Only reason why I didnt drop it by episode 16 is because I wanted to see how this all ends. It was 16 down, 8 to go. Now its 22 down, 2 to go. |

That's perfectly fine and all, and those are reasons you have for disliking the show that are pretty valid. If you compare your post to the posts in the first five pages you'll understand there is a big difference about what i'm talking about. Your post shows you have reasons for being disappointed and you don't really insult the show anyway, they put stuff like "this show is so horribly bad" and they've been posting that since season 1. My comment was directed to those type of people, not towards someone like you. |

| Infiltration is currently underway and it looks to be an intense war going on. That guy with the blue Kataphrakt who sliced the others looks strong. I like that confrontation of Inaho and Slaine. I guess it's confirmed that Slaine is the enemy according to Inaho. Well, it's all still unclear. Hahaha! Inaho got controlled and it's really hilarious. Maybe he'll get improved arms and legs if they were to be damaged. Asseylum gets rescued by Klancain. I sense something mysterious about them meeting. |

Nah I get people who are disappointed and actually have good criticism, and I don't mind those people pointing out their concerns. I'm talking about the half sentence posters who's entire post consists of "this show is so horribly bad" without anything to back up their statements and who post the same thing in every episode thread since like episode 4 of the first cour... of course i'm exaggerating but you get the point right? Chaser silverwalls said: well this episode was really ridiculous tbh. inaho is a robot now? lol And scene. |
| I should make a shirt that says SLAINE SHOT FIRST. Would clear up a lot of things. |
BruceLad said: Slow first half episode but it got a little bit interesting when Inaho suddenly get mind controlled near the end. I wanted to see Slaine's reaction when Seylum say that Inaho is a part of her tho, that could have been fun. 3/5 Do you even know what mind controled means? Sweet mother of christ people love to throw that word around when that's not what happened at all |
| The fight between Inaho and Slaine was ok, too bad that Inaho was tired. Thanks to Klancain for his help. |

| That catapult mode of the Deucalion has to be the most retarded and backwards way not to mention extremely inefficient of propelling Kataphrakts forward. Seriously a horizontal catapult just like in the medieval ages, using centrifugal force? Really? |

Here, why don't i get you a pair of Glock M9s with one round each, set you two in a field in Nebraska somewhere and you can have at it. Why so serious lol.^_^ I won't take ur Glock though. I will just run ASAP. Both deserve to die imo |

Till we get rail tech that is how acceleration would work There are also other means of acceleration. But why use a simple lift-catapult (you don't need any rail tech for that) like every second mecha anime if you can have a overconvoluted spinning thing the ship has to transform to use and is probably impossible to aim with precision, right? |

KamiCity said: Plus there is seriously someone still defending slaine o.O seriously, I mean i get some people like him as a villian but there is still someone saying "slaine did nothing wrong". In all honesty, if I were to pick a leader to follow it would most likely be Slaine. |

Whats that got to do with the fact that the propelling technique for Kataphrakts of the Deucalion is extremely retarded, time consuming, inaccurate and on the level of the medieval ages? |
swn32 said: baki502 said: What are you talking about? Whats that got to do with the fact that the propelling technique for Kataphrakts of the Deucalion is extremely retarded, time consuming, inaccurate and on the level of the medieval ages? How is it inaccurate? Then again since you haven't presented alternatives, I don't really expect you to answer that question. Because catapults where known for being super accurate right? And technologically its not a single bit more advanced than a catapult from the medieval ages. Actuall its kind of worse, as it seems that th Kataphrakts hook on with a grappling hook, and they have to manually release it. Since it is spac we are talking about, it probably means that we are talking several kms or hundreds of kms of distance, meaning that releasing the grappling hook even a moment too late will result in being quite off target. Now a better solution would be using magnetic propulsion and fire "cannon" like. In that way you could adjust the angle and everything and achieve a lot of a higher accuracy. Not only that but you could fire alot faster, since the mechs would not be released into space directly but could go directly from the mechbays onto the cannon on a railsystem of sorts. Hell its SciFi, the show obviously doesnt give a fuck about realism so they could just have gone with anything more creative, the limit is their fantasy. but they went with a catapult of all things. A fucking catapult. |

Realistically the earthlings shouldnt even know how to repair the ducalion when it gets damaged because of the difference in technology. Altough to be fair, the martians seem to be retarded as fuck, since they build a device like that. Or wait, martians are real, I meant the writers of the show. |

The Ducalion was built years after Heaven's Fall. Why SHOULDN'T earthlings know how to rebuild mars tech after building that warship? Then again I'm still wondering why some of you don't know why a kinetic catapult would be a good space weapon/launching device. (Some of you should read The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress at the very least) |

They ripped the core from the Deucalion and built the ship around it. |
| Inaho is more of a robot than I thought, I expect the Vers' defenses to hold up with Harklight's OP mech out there. The finale has gotta be a deathmatch between Inaho and Slaine, it would be a little disappointing if both survives now. |
 |
| Poor Princess Asseylum; she's a target for assassination yet again. So Slaine is here to save her! But he found Inaho first! After some pew pew, Inaho managed to find Seylum, but he becomes unconscious so Inahobot takes over. "I also think of you as part of myself." Aww. <3 Klancain has found Princess Asseylum! What will happen now? Will he help her out or take her as hostage? Or just kill her straight away. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
Darklight0303 said: The ship is not captured you dolt. They ripped the core from the Deucalion and built the ship around it. Whatever, doesnt change anything. The ship was still built in years of time, giving them enough time to come up with a less retarded and inefficient way of propulsing units over long ranges other than a friggin catapult. @Kelgiar No offense but a SF author from the 60s is supposed to prove why catapults in space are a sensible and efficient solution? Not only has technology advanced alot in the past 50 years, SF authors really tend to go by the rule of cool rather than efficient. Like the whole controlling shit with your motions or hands thing in spaseships, or talking to a computer. Extremely inefficient and dumb. Too bad the Catapult didnt even look cool this time tough. |

You do realize that the reason the Deucalion went back for fitting last episode was to attach these features right? You're seriously just out to troll. It's rather clear |

CookingPriest said: > Complains about SF authors doing rule of cool ineficiency > Complains about Deucalion using a logical mech propulsion system based on real world capabilities ^ Pick one. I think I already established that the catapult system is neither cool, nor efficient. Also magnetic propulsion already exists, so that is something they could use. Also I did not complain about SF authors using the rule of cool, I said they tend to do it. And I also quite like it, when they are consistent with it. Technology is quite advanced in AZ, so seeing such a system that even by todays real life standards is outdated being used in it, is just jarring. |
| There was only 1 thing that was truly "idiotic" in this episode, which is the fight between Inaho and Slaine. I mean, sure I can understand Slaine missing point blank, since he already has a precendent of missing (or at least killing) from point blank, but Inaho? With his eye, he should have killed Slaine easily. We have a clear case of plot armor protecting Slaine here. BTW, is the rumor true that Urobuchi writes the last 3 Episodes? |

It was embarrassing to watch. A silly matrix-style was the last thing this show needed. I won't even go into the inconsistency with Inaho's shooting skills. It is more or less established that his shooting is extremely accurate, so why can't he hit Slaine? It's not that Slaine runs especially fast or anything. And I agree with the ones, who say that they miss a lot of opportnities for cool action. Remember Nicoleras "eating away" the buildings in ep. 1-2? I'd expect Slaine when desperate to wreck his base in Tharsis, tearing everything apart. That would be good to watch. |
