| Was a good episode, nice seeing what happened to Kugel exactly when he landed on Earth. Been awhile since I seen the original series so certain parts were a little hard for me to piece together when trying to link it back. I can't wait till the new OVA now though! |
 |
| This was a awesome episode. I liked Kugel in the beginning but then at the end I disliked him. |
| I have always wondered, why must those characters be female? Was there another reason other than just showing their boobs and cleavage? Other than to make the "protagonist of the episode" loves her, romantically or not? Ridget, leader of Gargantia, Bellows, leader of the salvage team, Rackage, leader of the pirates, and we have old men around, we rarely even got any old women, whut? oh shit girls are for the fanservices so if they are not young, they have no value to be on screen |

| good episode dam y wasn't this in the story ????? |
 |
| Cool, I really wanted to know how Kugel died. Aww Linaria :( |
| 5/5 Episode veeery more interesting than the previous one, we reconstruct the missing steps in the history and the various roles in "competition to commit a crime." LOL Excellent drawings and animations, a little less directing and screenplay. Too bad that all the new characters have only one "step" in the story. I can not wait to see the next OVA series TV. Too bad it did not do an anime with a larger number of episodes, I would have liked a lot more! |
 |
| dem code geass vibes... this entire show should have gotten a two cour and included these two episodes. would have been muchhhhhhhhhhhh better. |
| Amazing how they managed to clear most if not all things up regarding what happend to Kugel. They already had all that symbolism, it was already pretty much a cult, and he simply took it over. Then he was "brainwashed" by Striker, it took a dark turn, and seeing how he was sick, it's easy to see that soon he would no longer leave Striker at all etc. One question is why Chamber didn't recognize Earth though. Striker was able to immediately confirm it while on approach, while Chamber took weeks on the planet. While it might be more difficult from the surface compared to the orbit, Chamber obviously also had an orbital approach etc. Was he disabled somehow? Or are Strikers databases more complete, given that it's both the superior model and is piloted by a colonel instead of a lieutenant. If the time line is *exactly* the same, they both got hurled to Earth by the closing wormhole thingy, that would make sense. If Kugel arrived earlier it's a bit weird how both arrived on Earth. |

NwAurion said: They arrived at the same time, I dare to affirm, just that Ledo was sleeping for several months in the bottom of the ocean before being snatched by Bellows and her crew; it is likely Ledo had a more violent trip and Chamber shutdown to protect him and appeared in a completely different set of coordinates than Kugel, then was dragged to earth by gravity. Then Chamber revived once Pinion and his crew used their tools to break it into pieces but he was inside the warehouse.[...] One question is why Chamber didn't recognize Earth though.

| Now this is what specials are for, filling in some additional information. It was nice to see background on Kugel. |

Gorim said: Way better than previous episode. Like Stark mentioned a lot more intense episode with a good ending. I like it that they left it there. It was nice to know more about Kugel he was one of the most interesting characters that they told nothing about in the actual series. Overall feeling was great, I liked the more serious tone it did. I.G. did nice job on animation. You got it right, I felt bored seeing episode 1, but now this one was soo interesting from the beggining, with all this context to Kugel, made him such a more likeable character. Outcome was expected, since he was left alone with no one to guide him anymore other than a AI that uses logics and shits on human emotions! Like how he first said he would do stuff differently than of the galacty fleet, and striker keeping pestering him about logic and weak should die... |
 |
| The second episode was quite good. Really paints Kugel as a tragic hero. |

| Totally forgot about this weird cult. Although I liked the story, I felt a little detached from it all since I've seen the original a couple years back. |
 |
| Lots of parallels between Kugel's descent into madness and assumed Godhood and that of Kurtz from Apocalypse Now (and the original novel, Heart of Darkness). Great episode! |

| So Kugel was on the wrong path as well and Striker just continued his work after all. |
| Klugel was forced to serve as the leader only to fulfill his promise with Linaria. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Bit of an oddball episode for me. It was good to get the backstory of Colonel Kugel and what happened when he arrived on Earth, and also explaining where the 'cult' he founded had originated from. Pretty big coincidence he just happened to stumble upon pirates who worship 'gods' (though they prefer the sea variety) and the one person he helped worshipped a 'sky god'. One thing I found interesting was how Kugel initially seemed to be going down the same path as Ledo in terms of the conflict of his Alliance training and the situation on Earth, albeit probably from a more pragmatic angle - when Stirker first suggests the weak should be eliminated, Kugel promptly overrules the mecha by pointing out that with no contact with the Alliance and the possibility of being permanently stranded on Earth they need to be able to gain allies and work with what they have. However when Linaria dies he abruptly switches to full on 'I am a God, for the glory of the Alliance follow me!' and reverts back really quickly to full Alliance doctrine. I know it needed to be done to line up with the main series but I found his mood shift really abrupt there. (I wonder how differently things would have turned out if Linaria had not died?) Overall a good episode for providing some backstory to the main series. |
