THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It's finally there and things already seem to have gone to shit for some characters in the very first episode! It throws us straight into action without much context, which I am sure we are going to get in the next episodes.

Whole episode was pretty much one big battle and I thought it was really good. Ost was good and angela sang us another great opening. Also, puberty seems to have done great to some characters. Looking at you Reo (Is that even you?).

Looking forward to seeing what this season has all in store for us. Though I really need to refresh my memory of previous seasons, especially Exodus.

Quite the start!
Having Miwa in Mark Sein to begin really threw me off at first. And I really thought we were going to lose Rina in classic Fafner style for a minute there. The thing I still can't figure out is "Sero." Did Seri and Reo assimilate or something. Sero does kind of look like a hybrid of the two, and Seri's SDP was assimilation (it was so tragic how she couldn't eat in Exodus).
Speaking of tragedy, I wonder how our protagonists will suffer in The Beyond...

Sero thing is def eyebrow raising, but I don't think this is the case. Seri was left sleeping in her Fafner at Tatsumiyajima in the finale of Exodus, so I can't really see how they could've assimilated/merged if the crew hasn't been to the island since Exodus ended.

Maya and kazuki are the remaining 1st generation who still pilot until now and the other two are happily man and wife... Looks like she is more focus to protect her niece miwa....

Kouyou is also counted as the 1st gen pilot (although he was assimilated). Well, looks like she is, because Miwa is Esperanto.

This is like the beginning of the original series, viewer is thrown directly into the deep end without a lot of background, so much confusion, sub misspelled Reo's name doesn't help either. Fortunately it all cleared up in the next few episodes.

Space? Those capsules.
Kazuki?
Hawaii area.
R boat. L boat.
5th Operation Azure.
Dat battle.
Dat big festum.


It's been 5 1/2 years since I finished Exodus and I waited so long so I could binge watch this. You know I had to rewatch the last episode before starting The Beyond. What a start. Kazuki getting so old his hair is straight as heck. Kazuki became more OP so he had to upgrade his mecha while Miwa, to my surprise, is now piloting it. My waifu Maya looked great. Holy crap! What have they done to Kenji? He's big now after becoming a dad. This comes as a shock to me because he looked cool as heck at the end of Exodus. They violated him. Reo looks badass. angela with another good song, but it doesn't beat Exodus songs. Those were bangers.
