| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Been awhile since I've seen the first season or movie but it's alright so far. I think the pacing is fine so far but they introduced quite a bit of characters. Not to mention, action and planning was in full force for the second half. Some major foreshadowing with the experimentation as well. |
 |
| I'm surprised that I have very little to say about this episode, maybe it's because I lost all the excitement after that disappointing movie. They are going to continue and expand the theme of "Communication" none the less given the writer, Tow Ubukata, which frankly is the only thing that I'm interested in. |
| The wait is fucking killing me! I'm getting flashbacks to 2006 having to wait days or weeks for subs. This is 2015 damnit, give me day 1 subs! |
| Wtf is taking the subs too long? |

| Didn't this air yesterday? I saw people saying that CR had this one, but I can't find it on CR's page and so far I've only found RAWS. I hope someone gets this one soon, feels like I've been waiting forever. |

Apparently it was such a last-minute pickup for CR (to the point that they only got the materials a day before they announced it) that they're scrambling to get the video out ASAP while also having some communication issues with Japan. Episode 2 SHOULD be on schedule, but... |

| Sadly I cannot watch this as I didn't see the first 3 prequels. But I do like the recycled characters in the poster. Namely Athrun and Mirialia. |

| I didn't watch H&A, but I guess it doesn't really matter. Not a lot, at least. Hopefully a good mecha anime like the original series. I need something good to follow from this season. |

Namely Athrun and Mirialia. same here. didnt watch any of them. Yeah. Probably won't be picking this up unless this anime gets amazing reception and I just HAVE to try it out. |
 |
| The 3d rendering and animation quality improved so much. Probably some of the best I've seen so far...now just wait till the fafner's come out. And it's like s1 ep1 all over again where they introduce pretty much all the new characters without letting you know a thing about them and expect your to remember for later. Still excited for this series though and hopefully it meets the standards of the original. |
| Sui Kaburagi is a great character, hope he does more than just comics. Nishio is good too, though since I had only watched the dub I never knew he was played by Yuki Kaji. At least he gets nice speaking lines now. Otherwise glad to see Soushi and Kazuki again, its been so long. Hopefully he wont stay working at a coffee shop for the anime lol. Visuals looked like they got an increase compared to the movie and to the first season. I like how it is still so intense even after two years. Thought everything would have gone all peaceful but Im glad thats not the case. This needs to resolve it, though I dont think thirteen is enough? |

| woah whats this, fafner has a budget now? I loved seeing how everyone moved on with their lives, the original cats are all grown up now with even the kids in the film showing maturity(the guy passing on the gobain torch was great). Another note was the directing felt way more refined than before, not sure how to desribe it but everything felt way more polished and well paced Also it looks like they are planning to make this the grand finale to the fafner series from the sounds of soushi's message as well as all the foreshadowing and death flags.This potentially might be a heartwrenching ride and im quite excited to see where it goes. From the sound of the narration soushi may be pulling a right of left on us |

| Hell, I should'have rewatched the movie before going along with this new season, I hardly remember what happened. Anyway, the increase of budget is pretty clearly already, and I'm glad of that. Also, I'm glad Angela was still hired for Fafner Exodus, looking forward to hear her OP&ED in the next episode. So many new characters, so many deaths. |

| For those who haven't seen season 1 you can visit Funimation's Youtube channel they have the first season's episodes there. |

| Is it better to watch Heaven and Earth before this? I've only remembered about half of season 1. Kinda sucky this is only getting 13 episodes. An original mecha series honestly needs more. |
AhegyaoJan 11, 2015 2:28 AM
| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| That was good, didn't expect it Animation and art are very well done, a clear improvement Might rewatch the prequel |
| I'm having a hard hard time recalling anything more that the general plot of season 1 and the movie... it's really been a long time. Still, I seriously hope Kazuki will get into his rebuilt fafner soon because the season will pretty much be a failure in my book if the main badass doesn't show everybody once again just how much of a ba he still is. |

| After years of earning money off of generic ecchi, Xebec is splurging their budget on this. It looks even better than the movie. |

I'll be honest, I haven't watched the others but with so few mecha this season I decided to watch this anyway. So far nothing is confusing, it was an introductory episode like any other. Maybe it will bite me in the ass later, but so far this is like a first season as far as I'm concerned. I'll watch the "prequels" later. |

| i am so sorry for souchi since he back a life in HEAVEN & EARTH but now xebec make big death flag from him since first episode BTW fafner > argevollen damn xebec they should make this from beginning |
 |
| Honestly, I was worried if would remember most of the first series, but the intro helped a lot. And for some reason I expected this to be a retelling of the movie, but the story continues, which is a great plus. Welcome to the Fafners, I enjoyed the episode quite a lot (after A.Z). Cool grown-up cast, curious new 'friends'. Although it seems to be the "beginning of the end', I hope it leans to stable peace this time around. |

We'll have Geass and 00 to thank for this split cour trend. |

Katseester said: i know right, keeping my eye on that guy very closely to see how long he lasts, though to be fair, everyone in this series is pretty fucked with or without gobainI liked it. It set things up nicely and was super comfortable. Hiroto's going to die, though. You don't hand down the Goubain armour and live. |

But is it really that different than all those people who watched it years ago and don't remember basically anything plot related? I suggest to watch at least the movie (SnF: Heaven and Earth), because it seems EXODUS will rely on knowing what Miwa and Emery are and what happened to Soushi. I think the movie will cover most of the setting, the groups, and the aliens' nature (it is a specific type of alien), but you may find some things confusing like the cores and the Fafners' upgrades usually depend on specific persons or events. |

| OMFG that fucking airdrop with Chopin's Winter Wind playing was epic beyond words. Never heard of this series before, but Tow Ubukata's writing it, so I'm sold. |
JizzyHitler said: Honestly, I don't even remember what happened in the prequels, and I'm walking into it as well. Many people are doing the same. No way I have time to watch such an old series again.

| I liked the original because they were never afraid to put many body bags out... I am expecting that for this seasons as well... i am a little iffy about the character designs... and I hope that kazuki and soushi actually do fight again... (i have only seen an episode)... and that they arent just scholarly figures to chatter with... I have high hopes for this... lets hope they dont get too crushed |
 |
| Though this was one of my most anticipated shows this season, I had some fears about it being too far removed from the original series and not getting enough effort in comparison. Now, after seeing the budget displayed in the first ep, I've no doubts that Xebec cares about Fafner franchise just as much the fans do. |
| Actually inspires me to rewatch the previous material again, there's really no reason not to so I don't see why people are avoiding watching the previous material if they like what they see here so far... |

| Start really exciting, a brief summary and then be thrown into the action with many beautiful mecha, gorgeous! The plot looks back over past events, but it was just me, but the many years since the first season, the characters are all familiar to me. Quality of CG and drawings really very good, you notice the improvement due to the years. |
 |
| The complete 35 minutes version of EP1 is out, it actually explained some questions and gave out additional vital information like: The battle sequence in Hawaii, and how Emery survived the nuke strike. Johnathan, like Kazuki, can stop assimilation by his own strong will. I bet Toomi's father did something on him. Also has some funny parts like Soushi's anal way of cooking and cleaning. |
