| Why does the green haired girl sound like a man??? |
| Alright, slight variation in the battle sequence... finally.... But come on, there are a few episodes left and the plot is really shallow so far....Better having some more surprising elements. than the predictable outcome... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Not sure if i liked the new insert yet, but yes it was better than nothing. (Anyone else have Monochrome played over 100 times since it released?) XD I have to say i am going to like this third arc. Mainly because there is actually a challenge although we know he will win anyways. Head's act was fabulous though. |
| Unbearably fabulous episode. Fabulous Saiga Mitsuki, fabulous lesbian romance, fabulous Vanishing Age, fabulous Head...you name it. I love how Keito was the epitome of calmness when the coup d'état took place. |

| Yay, Sugata was in his pajamas again!!!! |
| Holy shit, if each new episode keeps getting better than the last in this second half, then I can only imagine an extremely epic climax! *o* Btw, I lol'd at Head's "Fuck you!" to everyone. "Hey gaiz, we got 3rd phase but only REAL Star Drivers can pilot Cybodies now. Tee hee. *troll face*" But Hegent's appearance was pretty random...it's the same Cybody from episode 4, which Ivrogne used to trap Takuto and Wako in that dream-like Zero Time. Weird. Plus, if Madoka called herself a Galactic Pretty Boy because she was combined with Hegent, then all the Cybodies are actually male. :P Oh yeah, and East Maiden's song made this episode win. ios said: ok after watching episode 17 with subs from GG, i got this infos wako - seal is something to do with maintaining the presence of zero time mizuno - seal is something to do with real marked people can only enter the cybodies keito - seal is something to do with making the cybody and the marked pilot become one being sakana - seal is something to do with ??? so any theories about sakana's seal purpose? Sakana's seal upgraded the Cybodies to 2nd Phase. Mizuno's seal upgraded them to 3rd Phase. Keito's seal is necessary to upgrade to 4th Phase, but as explained in this episode, then the pilots would be trapped in Zero Time. So both East and South Seals need to be undone at the same time to upgrade to 4th Phase and to unseal Zero Time. TeenChibi said: Why does the green haired girl sound like a man??? Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that. It doesn't make it any better that she's also another Galactic Pretty Boy. XD |

| ZOMFWTFBBQSOS!!!! Takuto, you sexy ass rocket launching beast!!! Marry me!!! That green-haired girl sounds like a dude. I do not like this insert song. NOTHING can even come close to the awesomeness of Monochrome!! viral_hun said: Well the director said in an interview before the start of the show that noone will die in it, so I don't think so. Perhaps no one will die, but I'm pretty sure that a few people are going to end up comatose before this is all over. |
 |
| Star Driver finally has some bona fide lesbians. *_* Keito/Ivrogne's Maiden song is nice. I'm sure it will grow on me more, during this arc... Though, Sakana-chan's "Monochrome" is still my favorite. Mizuno's song was a bit too peppy/hopeful to signal a coming battle. But Keito/Ivrogne's song is nice. Any theories on who the comatose woman in the beginning was? |

TeenChibi said: Why does the green haired girl sound like a man??? the author and director of this show says Star Driver is base on old school anime elements, so those vanishing age lesbian girls imo resembles sailor neptune and sailer uranus of sailor moon, and sailor uranus has a manly voice too, hear her voice here Seeker said: ios said: ok after watching episode 17 with subs from GG, i got this infos wako - seal is something to do with maintaining the presence of zero time mizuno - seal is something to do with real marked people can only enter the cybodies keito - seal is something to do with making the cybody and the marked pilot become one being sakana - seal is something to do with ??? so any theories about sakana's seal purpose?

Let's make one thing clear about the Cybercasket: it was created to allow those without marks to pilot their Cybodies. Because originally, only those with marks were supposed to be able pilot Cybodies. The Cybercasket was not necessary factor for 2nd Phase; it was a crutch. Head, who possessed a real mark, was able to pilot his Cybody without the Cybercasket despite being in 2nd Phase, during that brief period in which we see him break Mizuno's seal. Another example is Takashi. Yes, in episode 3, he did use the Cybercasket, but at the end of the battle, Head asks him "How'd it feel to use the Cybercasket even though you have a mark?" Implying Takashi didn't even need to use the Cybercasket. And when Secretary/Simone battled Tauburn, Takashi was able to pilot it from the cockpit, rather than the Cybercasket. those phases (1st phase, 2nd phase, etc) imo are just code names for the strategic plan of the Glittering Crux No, those Phases are actual phases in the Cybodies' developments. In episode one, even Wako uses the term "Second Phase" when she realizes that the Crux could pilot their Cybodies. what i was looking for are the natural effect of the Maidens Seal, but if you read my previous post i got the answer already I responded because I felt there were still some discrepancies with your post. Sakana's seal upgraded the Cybodies to Phase 2, which allows "Galactic Pretty Boys" to pilot. Mizuno's seal upgraded them to Phase 3, which unseals more of their power. Keito's seal will upgrade them to Phase 4 (presumably the last phase), which will allow them to become one with their Cybodies. And Wako's seal will unseal Zero Time. |

TeenChibi said: I was wondering the same thing. Her voice definitely sounds... gruff.Why does the green haired girl sound like a man??? Good grief, Glittering Crux just keeps on coming. It looks like I was taking the wrong approach by looking at these fights as if Takuto's defeat was their only goal. They've clearly been going after the maidens, but Takuto's defeats have had minimal effect on them. The opponents looks to be real threats now and he's still badly outnumbered. Hopefully this means the show will get more serious now, as these duels have mostly felt like nothing more than a game. I also think that Tau Missile exposes Takuto and Tauburn as much as anybody else. If he can knock someone out of cybody, there's nothing so far saying one of the Vanishing Age members can't do that to him as well.  |

| @Seeker ok your that informative then tell me how will you explain each phases and elaborate too the maiden's seals, i like to know if your interpretation is not as confusing take note that 2nd phase is not about cybercasket like you agreed too, as cybercaskets is a invention of the glittering crux science guild right? and the zero time whenever it is seen is from wako's seal, so the 2nd phase or Sakana's seal has nothing to do with zero time |
degJan 30, 2011 8:09 PM
| Cool episode. Takuto's attack where he shot himself out of his cybody was awesome. I miss Mizuno though :( |

I already explained the phases and the maiden's seals and I already explained that the Cybercaskets have nothing to do with 2nd Phase beyond being a crutch for non-mark holders to pilot Cybodies. |

| Lots of changes in the organization. I wonder if some of the old crew will switch sides now. @ios, 1st phase --> no seal --> special skill (can be used anywhere) 2nd phase --> Sakana seal --> allows cybodies to move 3rd phase --> Mizuno seal --> power up (prevents casket use) 4th phase --> Keito seal --> cybody merge Wako seal --> breaks zero time The only thing I'm wondering is how is Takuto a phase higher from the start. Anyone know? |
| I couldn't stop LOLing at the Tau missile. Gawd, this show is ridiculous lol. |
| So, new group comes out and they are presented as stronger than the previous ones. Takuto, easy wins through the first already. When we will see some actual "Oh sh**" moments? Like to the extreme? 8 episodes left, hope something good comes through before it's over =/ |
| guy in the hospital.... Takuto's father maybe? I'm going out on a limb and saying Head is Takuto's brother. did we get confirmation on Head's real name? those 2 new girls.... wtf was with the nipples on those outfits? that one's voice Kou, I think? sounded like a guy. were they working for some old guy? maybe he's the real end boss? Takuto still wins easily and missiles himself? again wtf? Sugata also pretty useless now. though the 3rd stage was interesting and Head's take over, less fodder star drivers and vanishing age gets new members. still same old same old, story then random stardriver looks cool then loses easily to tauburn. oh well. |
 |
| TAU MISSLE LOL! I love this show, but I can't explain why. It's just so much fun, I'd love to be on that island myself. I think I compare this to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya in that I find the characters so cool and interesting; it's been awhile seen I've seen an anime with such likable characters. Hmm, last week I was wondering if they could keep this show engaging now that Mizuno left. Really got to hand it to the writers being able to introduce new characters to the show almost seamlessly. I'm looking right now at this anime's current rating of 7.38...underrated to say the least. Can't wait for next week. |

Anyone know? thats better and concise interpretation too, and about Takuto phase higher than the start, it seems his not on 4th phase as people believe it to be, because 4th phase means cybody and the pilot will perform fusion or merging like you stated too professor green is right Tauburn or Takuto might be special, and it might be something to do with that galactic pretty boy label and their are speculation that the person the Head visited on the hospital is the sleeping king on Sakana's sam the fisher story, as wako explained in episode 4, when maiden's apprivoise they inherit or memorize the cybodies past or anything cybody related events in the past, so the sam the fisher story of Sakana is just her retelling or reinterpreting of the past EMChamp said: I'm looking right now at this anime's current rating of 7.38...underrated to say the least. Can't wait for next week. your right this is another underrated anime, people cannot see this anime has some good story if they look at it deeply, and i think most people are saying this is gay anime because of ginga bi-shounen and girly transformation too, lol people are too homophobic and also lots of mecha fags complain about short fight scenes, i dont think the mecha fights are that short at all, most super robot anime like voltes v, daimos, gaogaigar, etc follows the same concept of getting beaten up at first then just miraculously counter with a finishing blow, atleast in star driver the fight animation is frantic in style like gurren lagann and its quite good looking |

| man did i get lucky today not only did i get to watch a great episode but That PW for aoi noi exorcist at the end was like the cherry on top!. |
 |
| This was pretty good. The battle was more interesting than normal. |
| i'm bored... juz give me the last eps already -_-! |
     |
| New insert song is nice. And Sugata with pillow was funny. Takuto and Tau missile..lol that was funny. |
| I'd really love it if a kindly soul kept a relationship chart of the show. There are so many characters sometimes it's hard to keep track of who wants to beat/betray/kiss/oil up who. |

| this show improved a little bit the last couple of ep. |

I could do that if I really wanted to, but I'm probably too lazy :/ Good episode, I like how we're finally getting more info on the nature of Cybodies and Zero Time (compared to the almost nothing we really knew through the first half of the season). As for the new girls, they're definitely up there on my list of "unnecessarily kinky characters." I mean seriously, bolt-tits? AO NO EXORCIST PREVIEW. GET HYPE SON (I'm really looking forward to it, if you couldn't tell). |
| Ha-cha! |
| So now that they apprivoise, can't they just gang up on Takuto? Yay Kanako! and Keito's maiden song is great, second only to Sakana's. Anyone else notice Kanako isn't with the Crux surrounding Takuto, Sugata, and Wako in the ED? |

I didn't really pay attention to the asses going across the screen. Thanks. |
| 3rd phase is awesome...... |
 |
| This show is getting better and better... ^^, Tau missile is awesome!LoL... Looking forward to the next one... |
| The first half was just plain painful to watch. Seriously, this show just gives so much mindless, shitty fanservice. At least there was a lot of information given in this episode, so that's good. If not for all the fanservice I'd think I was watching a super hero show for kid's. And if all the villains weren't so damn stupid and annoying I'd actually be hoping for Takuto to lose a battle. Moving on, Keiko's song was nice. I think it fits her nicely. I definitely miss Mizuno, though. I really hope she and Sakana make a comeback before this show is over. After all, Sakana is in the OP. So, Sugata, your dumb pillar king thingy doesn't work anymore. Will you actually get your ass in a Cybody now so Takuto can lose and you can rescue him? Let's hope so. Also, that new girl with short green hair that was paired with the blonde girl... she sounds like a he. |

cheto said: Iilia said: Also, that new girl with short green hair that was paired with the blonde girl... she sounds like a he. My thoughts exactly ^^ She's voiced by Saiga Mitsuki and she is known for voicing boys, because she has "manly" voice. I actually never heard her in a female role, I know she has some in Ouran, but again, that role there is tomboyish. The episode was great, it's getting better and better and the coup d'état scene was so much fun (Head's just fabulous). Not to mention the couch (and pillows) in Zero time. |
| LOL even women can be galactic preety boys now! XD |
| I want more Takuto fanservice. |
| Real Hell is inside a person-Ai Enma (Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae) Do you know where hell is? Inside your head-Chrona (Soul Eater)  |
| Good Episode! Keito's song was beautiful, and the fight was good (OMG the missile). I still wonder what role Sarina will play in the story, she doesn't make an appearance in the opening for nothing. |

Perhaps no one will die, but I'm pretty sure that a few people are going to end up comatose before this is all over. And i was hoping that everyone will end up in a big massive zero time orgy. Sarina looked hot as hell in a swimsuit and we got Nichi's song in this episode. Two most awesome girls of the show, green hair rich girl comes next. wakka9ca said: Alright, slight variation in the battle sequence... finally....

SomeDeadGuy said: cheto said: Iilia said: Also, that new girl with short green hair that was paired with the blonde girl... she sounds like a he. My thoughts exactly ^^ It's a direct shout-out to Sailor Moon (Neptune and Uranus, specifically), which the director also worked on, and I think Enokido worked on it as well IIRC. Yeahhh I was wondering if the green haired she was actually once a he... just post op. But I can actually see it being purely a shout out. We shall see. Cheezy episode... with his new power... but good nonetheless. |
