If the internet were around when this was released (yes yes I know, I mean the Net we're using now) then this hilarious Engrish would have been meme'd up big time.

Great opening battle too.

Was this the episode when they fought Mason? I think it was around 6-8, probably my favorite fight. He was insane.

No, this is afterwards where a blue spider tank (I swear this OVA really influenced Shirow's GitS manga/anime) destroys about four people and a skyscraper. It pokes two guys like a death kebab. Awesomeness all around.

I like the end where she pulled Irene's engagement ring out of her neck. Why was she carrying that thing in her combat suit? XD

You're probably right about BGC influencing GitS, although both draw heavily from Blade Runner, but the GitS manga started about a year before episode 7 was released.

I had to laugh at Linna's bra tracking device. And if you did have a tracking device in your bra, would you really need to take it off to activate it?

The Chang Group seem to be a arms-making, lawless, super-corporation who can get away with killing people because they have so much money, just like Genom...but they're OK for some reason.

Wish they had Urushihara the entire series. This episode has the best style out of the eight episodes. Also, the story was pretty cool.

They're the lesser of the two evils in this case. At least, from the Knight of Sabers' point of view, since they're not the ones going for their throats every time. And the Chang did become (somewhat) legitimate at some point in the past, so they get that too.

Awesome episode. I'm enjoying myself like a kid in a candy shop with this series. And the character designs and animation look particularly gorgeous in this episode. It's Urushibara, right?

This was amusing for some reason, even though I didn't get everything what was going on, but oh well. I hope the next episode will make some things clearer to me :)

The main problem with these past episodes is that they require you to care about the new female characters, Sylvie and Anri first and Reika in this one, to get the full experience, but it just doesn't work for me. It's still a blast to watch but who really cares about the happy final concert?

I wouldn't really agree with that, I actually really like the kinda halfway ground of old school and new school design that the other episodes had and here it just fully puts it foot into the new school design of the era and it just ends up looking like most other anime of the time. Not to say it looks bad though, and the episode was still good.

Oh yes, that's just what I see when I successfully input passwords.
Fuck correct password, an accurate solntion is all we need.

McLaren looked pretty old for someone who's only 43. Loved the nonsensical text on his bio screen (and elsewhere).

Finally a machine gun that doesn't use the same effect as from Macross!

Despite being somewhat familiar with Linna, Reika mistook Priss' voice in the suit for hers...

What's the difference between androids and boomers anyway?

I wonder if the last story will have more to do with Nene (just like the previous ones had more involvement from Sylia/Priss/Linna)

P.S. Priss recovered her broken arm over the course of minutes in terms of episode length lol.

Episode 7 was good with the Vision plot, kind of another adventure in the episodic format but very enjoyable as a whole. Am glad Vision didn't die and got to perform live, she never belonged to that world for as much as she wanted, kinda the whole point of the story.

I guess anyone who likes Bubblegum at some point stops caring about the logistics and enjoys the fights, the drama, and the explosions. That's kind of its forte, the cyberpunk storylines.

1 Episode left!

This may sound hypocritical, but it's not just about vengeance, it's about making the world a little better place. Not? Ok, who cares, this was another cool episode.

This is epic



On a serious note, I liked how melodramatic it is, kind of bitter-sweet and somewhat silly, but the kind of ending that makes you wish everything could end well in life. This was mostly Linna's highlight, and a recycle of her previous episode when her friend died. She didn't carry that engagement ring with her in her suit all the time like someone asked, we are shown how she takes it with her on the mission.
At first I was confused about the singer, this was Priss job to make an opening before :D But since this thing that they did music to be a character in this show is one of it's charms for me, the better.
