Well, another episode has aired.

I also enjoyed when Nagiko talked about the creation story of Japan.

Nice episode. As stated already a very touching episode. I wonder what's going on with MEDUSA though.

Really nice episode, I was speechless throughout the episode.

With Tokyo burned down, would the people be able to live there again?

I think it has something to do with what Zhang said in the earlier episode. Where MEDUSA is getting smarter and smarter and could handle itself without karin's help. But yeah, what is it going to do? Break everything down? o.o

It was a damn boring episode. The first one in the whole series i guess.
I couldn't even feel what the characters were going through, it was like watching something, but not really feeling it..
But the series is coming to and end soon, and I'm real pumped up about what the heck the ending is

As far as this show is concerned, I really just want them to bring out the secrets. Who/what the heck are the Digma, how are they related? I'm getting impatient, and they're teasing me >:(

Touching episode but a bit over dramatic even for the circumstances, imo. Also, wtf is going on with MEDUSA? It seems that "it" became more self aware or something of that nature. Like Reyno said I wish the show would reveal some secrets and give us some answers instead of the constant teasing.

Good episode. Very brave choice to do a stand alone, introspective episode this late in the run, but I think it paid off.

As far as Medusa is concerned...remember when it got "captured" or whatever earlier in the show? I was wondering when the ramnifications of that were going to pop up, and it seems like now

I was delighted with the bombers

I was also depressed with Duomo bombing! SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS! Especially with the music playing. SUCKS!

Also FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH THIS SERIES!

Hmm.. That's not a small amount of bombs they drop there xD.
And also, I seem to have lost count of how many times Momoko's changed his/her clothing xD
And the bombing scene, I'm just glad she actually dropped the bomb on time, and that she did Not hesitate while doing this. Such a thing has been seen all too many times, that's just annoying, yes? : p
And heck, what that? "We're ten thousand meters up in the air. You're imaginig things." I'm wondering.. is that really something he should say at such a time?

Also, the insert version of Kimi Shinitamou Koto Nakare was pretty good, going a bit slower than the original : ) (OP version is still better though)

Last but not least.. MEDUSA GOES GOD-MODE : D

This is why I have high hopes for this anime. Let's all hope Gonzo learn from their past mistakes and make a satisfying ending...

Karin must learn her lesson as well.

Normally all are supposed because it has to do with the mind thing of having lived the story with that town but in the end some people they did not care.

I am a little on the emotions so to me it affected me. Especially the rooms they showed burning. No more Duomo for the rest of the anime unless they show a rebuilt at the end.

Well, Doumo Was a bit run-down, so I'd say it was a good choice to go destruction derby all over the place, and those are my honest thoughts about that : ) Oh.. wait.. not reaaally.. or well, those are my honest thoughts about it.. but.. that's not all, if I put it that way.
tl;dr: I didn't feel anything about the bombing, except for being glad they got rid of the place at last

Yeah agreed on that and leave it that. I still wonder why Ryoko is not killed by Kuniko after she ordered that massacer of over 70 girls in that prison as warden. Remember that, cause that made me RAGE!

Skipping the past bunch of quotations; I'd say that's probably because she thinks Ryoko is in some way needed, or it's just that she has something against killing people.. Maybe.. That's just my speculations, I wonder if anyone's mentioned this in any of the previous posts? Maybe I should check.. Nah I'm too lazy for that : D

I did not notice it either but I assume Ryoko will be used and might use more of other people such might be the case for Takehiko but for what is yet to be seen.

Anyway, I think Medusa will act radically to self-preserve itself, which will end up in a lot of trouble for Japan, with that whole "Bomb whoever tries to eat up carbon credits" act the other Nations passed.

Wow Madusa going berserk and no more old couple in Doumo making comments.

So Ryoko wants to kick the digma out of the game and take everything for herself. At least that's what i understood.
