after watching this, i an convinced that the "light" took a body part from everyone and created Lag. the memories of his mother is probably Gouche's. the empty frames were probably memories that were destroyed or not relevant. the question is, why was he made?

somthing I forgot to mention before
not spoilering but Balor- the commander from the capital- is the same person who took Lag's mother ( only in manga in first chapter)

Is it only me or the eye that's been taken from all the people is the right eye which the sun doesn't have !
I'm pretty sure now after watching the sun calling Mother that Lag is related somehow to that artificial sun . and don't forget that he has the right eye and the sun has the left

Great episode, I loved it a lot~ Finally Gauche is back to normal though I don't think he'll remain with them for long. I'm getting overy exited now, I guess I should catch up with the manga~
I don't really like the new OP animation though the song by Suga Shikao is great. But I loved the new ending song~

I think everyone needs to calm the fuck down, step back and take a look at what's really important here.

Thunderland rockin' the rockabilly look.

New OP/ED doesn't fit at all.
Previous OP was the best OP so far (season 1 included), and the first ED in season 1 was the best one so far.
As for the episode, oho so you woke up at last Noir Gauche.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

Didn't like the OP/ED that much (previous ones were way better) but the ending animation sure was cute (chibi Lag and Niche <3).

As for the episode... It was great. Best one so far. Even though I was overloaded with information. I think the airship (Progre) was made in order to get those people to look at the sun. Just that. The sun is made of human heart according to... Roda? (I don't really remember if she was the one to say it but someone did, I'm sure of it.) That's why Reverse is trying to have the Gaichuu eat it. According to Houdai, the light had been getting weaker before Progre's construction was completed. All of the people who looked at the sun when it flickered lost a part of their heart (along with a part of their body, which I don't quite understand...). Then the sun returned to normal. I don't know what the sun is (really, that thing was scary) but I think the parts of the heart of those people that were taken away are the reason it still shines and the government constructed that airship in order to feed the sun with "heart".

Then we have Lag. How is it connected with the sun? He was born in the day of the flicker and is heart is now overflowing with memories that aren't his. Could it be that those are the memories that were taken away from those who saw the sun flicker?

Besides all that info... Aria was pretty cool right there^^ And that scene with Gauche getting back was... heartwarming. And Roda is in next episode's preview so she's fine. This season is so much better than the first one...

Don't worry. This was just something they threw together because of lack of time/budget or something. The opening gets completely new animation in episode 18 and it's really, really good. And the music grows on you, at least it did for me.

Also new ED is awesome!

So the Sun might be a Gaichu(?) that has something to with Lag or something like that :\ and the Sun is powered by heart, that's the reason the Govt sent the airship?

And i get a feeling Gauche isn't "fully" back either..

New OP song is great but too much re-used animation, ED animation great, don't like the song much..

The opening song is not bad. Just terrible for Tegami Bachi?

The ending song is win!! Not really for Tegami Bachi either, but it works.

Gauche...


So... what the hell is Lag? So creepy. Like Niche's sister said, Lag isn't human... what is he then? If his heart is at max power... maybe it's because he stole other people's hearts? Geez. I love Tegami Bachi!!

Why didn't I think of that?? It makes sense! With all the talk about "mom" and Lag not being human...

Ahhh mind explosion.

AND. The singer for the opening is the same singer for Tegami Bachi OP1 (first season). I knew he sounded familiar. XD

Man, that was really something. That looked like a deranged fetus inside the artificial sun. They said it's been 12 years since that day, I wonder if that was the result of Lag's birth.

That end scene was really heartwarming although a bit melancholic considering what the man said. It's also strange how Gauche said "Are you Lag Seeing? How I've longed to meet you." Something tells me his heart isn't full recovered.

Loving the new OP and ED, Tegami Bachi always delivers on these.
