| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- OH GOD! That hot Takuto body and scar! I want his supple fingers to gently glide across my body as he caresses my back with oil! Head is such a troll with his FABULOUS takeover and taking the lounge to Zero Time. I can't decide if Sugata with Pillow-kun was better. I came when Takuto rocketed himself. GINGA BISHOUUUUUUUUNEN EVERYWHERE!? Lack of Mrs. Watanabe on the beach made me sad. |

God DAMN them nips. He also shot himself out of fucking Tauburn. He also saved her, WHAT A GENTLEMAN. |
| highlights - Head visited a hospital to see a comatose beauty - an old man appears that monitors the islands activity is that Kanako's husband? - Sarina is topless!!! HNNGGGGG!!! - Vanishing Age takes over Glittering Crux - new battle song courtesy of Keito (crushes my hopes of a maiden duet , but good song) - Takuto launches himself as a missile, WTF!!! - new ending song scenes |
| Quite nice episode. It's nice to see that battles are improving a little bit :D Although in the preview there wasn't shown will there be any battle next week, but still I can't wait for the next week's episode, because it seems that it will be centered on Keito. |
| WTF awesome episode - Madoka Kei and Kou Atari both remind me of Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus. - And what in the world is with their outfits O_o - Very nice song by Keito. - Tau Missile = Takuto launches himself as a missile, WTF indeed! - New scene in ED looks badass and Keito scene was very fitting. Overall another Fabulous episode. |
 |
| F**k. I saw scene in bus from 8th episode but didn't understand that Eastern Miko and Ivronge is one person. Smth strange happens with me ). BTW new battle song is good as always but Monochrome still not bitten |
 |
| 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? EDIT: ok after skimming episode 1 again and got some more ideas from other forums where i ask this question, i think sakana's seal got something to do with giving golden mask to the statues, and if a statue has a golden mask then the cybercasket which is actually a man-made invention by the glittering crux can transform and drive the cybodies artificially, then when the statues turns to robots this is when wako's seal starts to act and thats imprisoning the cybody to zero-time |

| Sarina <3 That is all. Cheerio Chesto! Madoka is as close to a mahou shoujo as she'll ever get now. And they couldn't at least make females call themselves "Ginga Bishoujo" instead? >_> Anyway, besides the details, I liked the episode. A few more minutes of Sarina and it'd have been the best episode yet. |
| 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. |
| Another great episode, and the new characters are awesome. Four of the seven members of Vanishing Age's new group have already been beaten by Takuto though, and make that five with the recent win.. and if there is only a 50% chance of living through the regeneration process, someone is probably going to die.. |
| CHESTOO! |
| STAR DRIVER EP 17 MY BODY WAS NOT READY SO MUCH KIRA KIRA SO MANY DAZZLING STEEGIS SO MUCH FABULOUS TAU MISSAILU when Windod Star dazzled the fucking stage? I fucking' clapped. oh this was just beautiful start for the third arc. |
XardieJan 30, 2011 9:51 AM
| So being a Ginga Bishounen is just a title for being in the third phase. Is Takuto in the 4th phase or something or is he just a reaaaallyy overpowered third phase Driver? Lol Watanabe worried that Takashi won't be able to massage her xD. Lol also at Sugata wipeout and holding a pillow at Zero Time. And Takuto is the luckiest person out there to get to apply oil to those two new girls, even if they were the new enemies. I like the new insert song. Oh and a fabulous episode this was. Getting better and better now. |
 |
| Star Driver is getting better as the season goes along. The coup was pretty foreseeable, but I wonder why there are so many ginga bishounens on the other side. Anyhow, Tauburn is way too OP; Takuto's got a random move every few weeks to pull out (pretty cool stuff though). Had a good laugh at the start of Zero Time, especially with both Sugata and Takuto having pillows. New insert song sounds pretty great, ED scenes modified to reflect new arc. Epic volleyball game? Somehow they all only got to serve once...some crazy streaks there. They'd win the AVP tour anyday. |

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. It was a great episode. The plot is progressing, and I'm liking the series more and more. I hope Glittering Crux will be able to reach phase 5, it'd really get interesting from there. |
 |
| Everybody in Vanishing Age is a Ginga Bishounen! |
  |
| Really good ep. The only thing i didn't liked was that the annoying blonde chick was a Ginga Bishonen too. The Tau Missile was amazing and it's cool how the crux members are thinking of Takuto. Oh yeah, Head owned everyone back there :O |
     |
| New Insert song isn't bad at all :) What ... A Female Ginga Bishounen? x° Takuto prefers surfing than massaging the girl's back |
| Nice episode ^^ |
 |
| 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. |

TeenChibi said: Why does the green haired girl sound like a man??? because the seyuu has done many male roles breaking Fish Girl's seal = move from 1st phase to 2nd phase breakin Mizuno's seal = move from 2nd phase to 3rd phase |
| 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?

ios said: i edited my last post but ill clear it again, when people say 2nd phase they think of Cybercasket, and we all know the Cybercaskset is just man made by the Glittering Crux's Science guild division, you can say that Cybercaskets in programming terms is a hack for the glittering crux to bypass the effect of Mizuno's seal for them to enter the Cybdodies and transform them to robots No, you're the only one here confusing the Cybercasket for Second Phase. 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 |
