| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Discussions for episodes 23, 24, and 26, but no 25?! Episode 25 was the highlight of the series and the most emotional one. Frankly, I'm disappointed that there aren't more anime that focus on families, especially mother/daughter connections. It's something I hold dear to me because I'm really close to my own mom. So watching this fractured family hurt then heal each other brought tears to my eyes. I thought that this series handled several different types of relationships very well: sisters, parent/child, friends, crushes. There were several episodes, yes, that irked me, but overall I think the past 3 episodes were strong. |
| Honestly, I have a very hard time believing that it would be that easy to mend the divide created by seven years of abandonment and lies, even with the wheelchair and the sob story/apology. |
| I thought it was very believable, considering what a kind and considerate person Misaki is. She cares for others so much, that she's worried for her opponent's angels! I think this is why she and Shuko can mend their relationship. She loves her mom that much, even if she was lonely. |
| Even when she's crying Misaki's tone of voice is like someone who is overjoyed and slightly insane. Hatoko sure runs fast for a little kid. And Shuko has no concept of probability. But don't worry, because Icchan has psychic powers. And they're all wearing clothes made out of metal or something because the rain has no effect on them - or their hair for that matter. Or maybe it's just that Misaki is secretly a weather god - as soon as she stops crying, the rain and clouds clear away in seconds. Misaki sure took a long time to realise that her mother was in a wheelchair. I wonder how they got onto that balcony without her noticing. And that greeting at the gate. Oh god. Having already identified Tamayo and Kotarou as aliens, and Misaki's as a weather god, now Ringo turns out to be a robot. After all, there's no way any human on earth could pull an expression like that, or would if they could either. It's uncanny valley stuff. And Shoko is a psychopathic mass murderer. Just look at that expression. I'll uncover all your secret identities! |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Finally mother and daughter meet. Also Icchan wearing an Athena cosplay... |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| I dunno...it felt like Shuko got off way too easily just because her daughter is so loving and sweet. Even her apology was more about her than Misaki. Meh. Love Hatoko and Misaki tho...too cute. |
