----------------------------------------
Recap was informative. New OP and ED clips were also aired during the recap. ED is sad.

Seems like Scarlet Twins are the key (like the informative Special (not animated) mentioned before).

Only thing worth noting in this episode imo was the ED song. One of the scenes reminded me of a footage from Higurashi's first opening with Mion/Shion that has a parallel to this ED song. Other than that, it was just a refreshment.

That was a nice recap of the series. The new opening and ending were SICK! It explained a lot about the series. So for those who didn't quite understand the series, this episode is perfect for you. Seems like Yui would be back in action during the last four episodes. It also seems like Yuuya would be getting a new TSF. I'm just wondering if that TSF with the blue aura around it during the opening was the Scarlet Twin's, Su-37UB Terminator. Well, we'll just have to find out in the future episodes.

I didn't feel like watching a recap at all so skipped most of this episode as far as the OP and ED goes i always skip them i see them as major spoilers.
Hopefully next week something interesting will happen.

Jesus, I hope they saved up 10x the budget to make it 10x better because this episode is 10x worse than the average of this show which is saying something.

I don't think they would start saving up the budget NOW. Considering how there's only 5-4 episodes left, the anime is going to end in a cliffhanger and who knows when a new season would come out. Considering the popularity of the show, it's not all that high. I doubt we'll even see a new season unless the BD earns a good profit.

WHY would they go and do a recap NEAR THE END of the series? That's just stupid. Muv Luv has gone down hill and that hill has gotten steeper as you get to the bottom. =/

The first episode got me REALLY into this show, and it's just become more stale ever since. I've just been hoping more BETAs and action but nooooooo~

It's really disappointing how they are giving us another recap episode this late into the series. I may have to take back what I said about this show being a bit underrated, because at the moment I feel the story has not been progressing at a good pace. Hopefully the next five episodes can redeem this show.

Recap is a little late in the season. I like this anime and i just realized it nearing the end, hopefully the end is good. I don't know anything about the manga but is the anime going to have a end or is there a possible second season.

I have seen the new ED and OP.

I fear I should not divulge anything but due to my spoiler limits. I can conclude some elements that I myself am not too sure. All I will say with my knowledge is PREPARE FOR MAYHEM! That’s all.

Other than that I find in the spoiler
one of the most perplexing scenes showing rather the theme innocent and nothing else comes to mind. What happens after should be taken as Inia not connecting on the battlefield with Yui. That much is clear from the flower and the hand letting go while in uniform.

Cryska might be killed to save Inia that I see.

Finally might amount to an insane Moon launch to kill the source whom after will have all BETAs die since itself will be dead? Well could be a good one. 3 Mecha magically find their way into the moon as a miracle to kill off the controller of the BETAs? Sounds plausible.

Finally the real improvements are the visuals and feelings they make come out of you. I feel much sorrow, rivalry and fights with new weaponry coming.

That being said I wonder what of other thinking of theorems and no they say nothing of what I know already of the end from the VN parts. Not sure if it will end up like that.

The Recap Episode was alright for me cause it cleared up some questions i had in my mind.
And i don't understand why people are so Surprised/Angry that they "wasted" 24 min. I mean did you watch episode 19's preview they said this week was going to be a recap and on top of that it was mentioned in these forums like 20x's [that this week was a recap week]. People just love to hate... 19.5 episodes in and your still complaining on how bad the series is...the mentality of people amazes me (sarcasm) sometimes (-_-)

I don't think Cryska will die but then again some of you know the answer already; in the anime, if anyone is to die, in my opinion, it would be Cui & her group, VG, Tarisa, Stella (i hope not though), the Infinities, and Inia (trying to protect Cryska).

Which explains why Inia was in a trance mode and the seat behind her which was supposedly to be Cryska's seat is empty.

And the 3 TSFs flew to the moon(?) , Yuuya's TSF , Yui's TSF and Scarlet Twin's TSF .

Decent for a recap episode


HOLY GOD......No shit dude i knew that from the moment i saw them common from russia, psychic abilities and not to mention the things on inia's head are dead give away like Kasumi's ears. Im really surprised it took 20 episodes to realizes that.

That's the same case for Aquarion series where they change theme songs at ep. 20.
(And cannot be helped, even though I still don't know why, because they all aired at same day of the week and same time, not sure if the first Aquarion applies to that though).

It's Cryska? Does not look like her at all with the shadings.

Oh so that confirms it, innocence of the twins was being shown there along with their sexy bodies.

Guess the next part I mention does prove the problem with Yui/Inia/Cryska.

they actually gave effort for that recap. They hyped the climax and gave us a run down on the events that happened. The new OP good and the new ED was better than the 1st one. Still, a recap is a recap. Did not enjoyed it, I just watched this passively while doing other things.

I don't usually watch recap specials but this was great. The new OP wasn't as memorable but its still good. I instantly love the new ED though, beautiful visuals.

Informative ep, I really needed that. It seems like a long while since I started this show so some of the major plot elements were fading away. Not any more though! Now I can enjoy the final arc 10 times as much!

That was the best recap I seen done by anime suprise I actual learned things I never figured out before so props to that.
So sharon was Yuuya's previous girlfriend.
Also Inia and Cryska mech is called the terminator so this show names it's mech's after actually aircrafts like the su-37 terminator one of my favorite aircrafts because of its mobility and speed.
Also those two were part of an anti-beta project so are there more like them?
