The fact that Talho is pregnant means that is very possible for Holland to die. I guess that Sakuya turned into Norb's compact drive. Also, Moondoggie drama was kind of unnecessary. Well, I guess Holland was Eureka's Dominic and his Lolicon tendencies were explained.

Oh wow, I should've seen that coming since it makes so much sense.

Congrats!

Im kinda getting the feeling theyre making this shit up on the spot. like theyre FINALLY answering a few of the questions since the beginning of the series, but i get the feeling that they didnt put too much thought into until the time came. its just not that clever, at all. for the amount of questions
they leave unanswered, they sure dont have a big impact once they finally are answered other
than the relief of finally knowing. normally, theres a build up, and surprising reason and thats
why they build up the suspense of having them answered.
for the animation and "seemingly"
work they put into this, Im just not all that impressed at all. Im mostly bored. ive contemplated
dropping this for awhile, but i might as well finish it since im here now.
THOUGH, this episode was better.

I completely agree. I've had a lot of fun with this show, I think there were a lot of questions laid out at the beginning of the show, and seeing that the show is 50 episodes long, I assumed these would be answered towards the end. I think direction has been solid all the way through and the animation quality has drastically improved from the early episodes; but the show just seems to be getting more and more contrived the further I get into it. A sage with mystical powers, presumably powered by the compac drive in his chest (?) is beginning to fall outside the tone of this series in my opinion (but the man eating coralians actually made sense imo. I know there were a lot of complaints about them a couple episodes back). It just seems like the writers had the idea of teen romance + mechs written in the classic shounen formula as the goal, and disregarded the growing pile of unchecked world building.
I worry that the slow, gradual build up of this show won't meet the expectations it set up; which sucks because as I said earlier, I've had a lot of fun with this show in terms of a few specific characters, and the allure of this unfamiliar world

so who else, suddenly had a feeling that we've been trolled up till now??

Its clear at this point that Renton and Eureka aren't actually the main characters. It appears to be Holland is.... and this story is about his redemption... well maybe.

I can't agree that Holland is the main character but he is definitely the strongest out of the supporting cast. I've been saying it for a while, that Renton, Eureka, Holland and Talho are the only significant characters in Gekkostate, and the rest seem to be there solely to fill room in their crew and to serve as plot devices, not actual characters. The most glaring example of this for me, was when it was revealed that the crew didn't even know exactly what they were fighting for (in the episode where Talho revealed to everyone, not just Renton, that Eureka was coralian). I even made the argument a couple episodes back that Dominic was a more developed and well written character than all of Gekkostate (excluding the four characters I mentioned) and he hasn't had nearly the same screen time as the rest of the supporting cast.

Talho maturing her look and attitude made sense before given the context of the situation, but makes even more sense now given that she got knocked up with a kid in her belly, Holland's child. Congratulations to the two of them. I may have hated Holland at times so badly that I wanted to knee him in the face myself but nice to see him more grown up now, moving on from being disappointed that he wasn't the hero in the fairy tale (which Renton turned out to be when Eureka fell in love with him and chose him to truly be her partner), and embracing a less abrasive and jealous attitude, while now having some people to protect that he cares about and they care back even more, Talho and the kid. Overly cliched at times, absolutely, but a solid episode overall nonetheless.

"I'm willing to die to protect this baby". This statement is just... stupid is the only word that comes to mind. Die AFTER its been born woman otherwise this is just the writers trying to make a powerful moment but it just sounds dumb given the fetus would die with her.

Euruka has been more more pathetic than I recall from my first time watching this anime, makes me wonder how I could have liked a character that spends her time either clinging to Renton or curled in the fetal position in bed, pfft.

34 episodes, it took this long for the truth to finally be revealed personally by Holland, of his past with the military, Eureka and how Gekkostate came about to be. "I was confused because I hadn't been told anything at all" If there's a quote that can describe us as the audience of this show, it's this. We have always been hinted at many things about this world, the past and the coralians, but only now did they explain to us what's needed to be heard the most.

Talho is pregnant, not surprising if I do say so myself, if you were to remember from many eps ago, it's been hinted that Talho along with Hilda IIRC has 'another person' to feed. They're both pregnant by the looks of it, this ep is just a confirmation that Talho is indeed bearing Holland's child though it's quite strange how they never slept on the same bed, guess Holland just prefer sleeping on his yellow couch.

Both Talho and Holland has grown up to not be a pair of bitch and asshole anymore, Talho wasn't so much the problem as Holland is so he'd better redeem himself in this next mission.
