Orphans basically exist to die for humanity. I took this to mean he is broadcasting rather than attending in person because he can’t risk vulnerability to monster attacks. I assumed this is the only parasite training facility, the kids don’t talk about it in a way that suggests there are others, though I guess there could be. chiasaur11 posted:(Or 0 Ni, which is not the worst pun I've seen this year.)  oh wow, this totally got past me.

Imo Strelizia having orange hair is a nod to what the actual flower looks like — the designs all seem to be loosely inspired by their real world namesakes except Chlorophytum and maybe Genista.

tsob posted:I've no idea what you're even talking about. At first it seems like “Papa” is officiating at the ceremony for the pilots, but it rapidly shows that he is not actually present except as a hologram. The poster is suggesting (I think) that this reveal is some sort of misdirection because of how quick and obvious the show was about it.

What is up with the chatter about kishingu when Papa and his buds are meeting in their tall chairs room? That went over my head a bit. e: Actually this entire scene is quite weird.

Endorph posted:hey, godannar discussion would also be a place for this thread to go I’m just saying, if you can’t handle a show about aggressive hetero robots powered by wood, it’s conceivable that you will not like a show in which a twenty something buffman rescues the 12-year-old protagonist from monster, enthralling her heart forever, and then marries her later while she’s in high school, IN THE FIRST EPISODE ALONE. Godannar may be the trashiest show I’ve ever watched all the way through, it is entertaining in a certain sense and not entirely in a train wreck way like, I don’t know, Dragonaut or whatever. But it makes this show look like nuanced and balanced examination of sexual politics.

Cao Ni Ma posted:Im thinking 016 is just a massive sub which is why he doesn't get hurt when 02 takes over and pilots the mecha herself. It would be a pretty good twist if him being a milktoast virgin is what makes him uniquely qualified to be 02s partner. Also for being a bunch of death cult leaders those drat filthy apes just hang around in a circle doing admin work. So wait, when they pilot Strelizia is she like, pegging him?

Mecha cartoons is innately oversexed genre in which little boy (or girl) wields your pick of massive industrial war machine/abomination of biological science/literal supernatural entity, or any combination thereof, as a gonzo stand in for their frail childish physical body in a sort of idealized surrogate puberty during which they can prove their worth as an adult, hint hint, to any number of hot girls, boys, or adults. Extra points if whatever they use the mecha to fight is also highly sexualized!

This was an okay episode but not a banger like the first two. Not much tension or threat, or really much going on. Strelizia is still better than everyone else, Dr Franxx is still a creep (without even appearing!), Hiro is still a mopey gently caress who needs to get some self respect, Ichigo still crushes on him, this show still really loves NGE, and still nobody can handle 02. Did we learn much of anything from this episode that wasn’t in the others? There’s the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it revelation that the last batch of pilots from Plantation 13 got party wiped I guess. The smaller klaxosaurs (“saur” seems increasingly inappropriate title) are named for the Conrad discontinuity in the continental crust, just as the one from ep1 was designated for the (deeper) Mohorovičić discontinuity. I assume the big bad guys are Lehmann class.

King Cohort posted:So therefore, in the show that's done everything it can, from the instant it began, to hammer in that relationships are two-way streets, and shown in exquisite, uncomfortable detail what happens when one partner isn't into the other, and how effective two partners are when they're into each other, Ikuno is going to have a relationship with someone who barely acknowledges she exists except to give her advice as team leader, and has eyes only for Hiro, because...? Well for one thing she’s chill and not rude. I’m just explaining this because some people seem to be under the impression that anyone thinks Ichigo is gay.
