This episode is good, I think.
And yes, this is really the type of anime where you should pay attention to the detail or you could get confused.

So basically, the story began with year 41 shinka where Jiro and Kikko (a magical girl who works in a cafe) met for the first time.
Since I only understand like 60% of the dialogue, I don't really get the detail of the transaction between the professor and that spy, and why everyone targeting that stuff that the spy gave to professor (later Kikko stole it)

But what make it interesting, the story suddenly jumped on year 46 shinka. Where in this time, it seems Jiro already quits the hero association / Choujin-ka, and older Kikko (she said she's 20 years old this time) & Furouta trying to capture him.

Back to year 41, it seems the spy true identity is an alien from another planet. And when he trying to get what stolen from, he use the body of S Yuseijin. Lucky for everyone because Grossorgen, a giant superhero like ultraman who always help human to fight invaders from space, came and fighting S Yuseijin in alternate time / place so civilians can't get hurt.

In short, grossorgen won and S Yuseijin captured by Jiro. But I kinda confused with the background of Grossorgen. What I could understand is, actually the one behind Grossorgen's act is a human (who can transform to grossorgen, just like Ultraman). He saved grossorgen and gave him his body so grossorgen doesn't die / disappear, but in return he want Grossorgen's power to defend earth from threats from space. But it seems he knows that grossorgen actually hate fighting, and he just want to go back to his home planet. So Jiro make a negotiation with this man, to return Grossorgen to his home planet, but the only problem is, the man already gave his body, so if grossorgen back to space, apparently he will die (I don't really understand, lol). That's what Kikko saw and believe in year 41. She against this deal, and she really couldn't understand Jiro's reason.

And the real truth behind this negotiation revealed 5 years later, in year 46. After Kikko chase Jiro and finally cornered him, the man that she thought was dead 5 years ago suddenly appears. It turns out that Jiro actually gave him a new body, S Yuseijin's body which he captured. Until this point I can still understand, but it seems the reason why Jiro leave the hero association / choujin-ka is still mystery to me. And in the end of episode he finally escaped from Kikko again, this time with new S Yuseijin.

I guess the story will continue like this, alternating between year 41 and 46, til we find out the reason why Jiro ran away from Kikko and the others. Anyway, this is really interesting, not to mention the animation is really good too.

Thank you so much for the summary. I watched this when it aired but stopped following it, and now I want to catch up but forgot what happened. This summary really helped me remember. ^.^

This sure was different than I was expecting, not directly my favorite setting and pacing but in general it was okay.

I watched a few episode a while back and wasn't sure what to think about the show.
It's time ti giveit another shot.
From this episode alone I already like the anime more than before.

Let's see how it goes from here.

Scorpio-X1? Not a Microsoft reference.

Okay episode. ZAQ gonna ZAQ. That instrumental ED theme was okay.

If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

Screwed up timeline is a plus, and the style is great. But the most surprising thing is a rearranged ending song from Hideaki Anno's "Love&Pop" in the final scene?! What the hell, I wasn't prepared for hearing "That Wonderful Love, Once More" at all xD Instant respect for whoever decided to insert this
