The four word summary of the episode. If it wasn't for the transsexual girls, this episode could've been a lot better. The most interesting thing is of course Medusa. Will continue watching.

I liked this episode more then the first one.
The setting looks great, I hate the villains (which is a good thing because they are supposed to be hated) and the soldier made me lol many times.

I don't really get what is going on..



Ryoko's chambers..



Prediction..



Not bad.. I can't wait to see the explanation behind the blade. It does look rather cool, not mentioning that the resonance it caused it fairly extraordinary. I wonder why..

This is one of the few times that after 2 episodes i still have no idea what is going on and what kind of world is this exactly.
But still it was amusing and Kuniko looks like an interesting character.

We got a lot more info on how Karin and the others operate, at least I didn't quite get only from the pressure she applied on that random 3rd world country on ep1.

Here's my view on what they do, hopefully it's half right:

They use Medusa to find a country with a particular high carbon debt, such a country doesn't attract foreign investors and its economy stagnates, the carbon debt amount is certainly top secret info, so Medusa is a central part of the process.
They make a deal with the target in order to clear their debt, most likely using a system of transferring carbon credits from a country with surplus in a similar way the Kyoto Protocol works. using Medusa's power to hack into the regulating agency's database and deleting it. They also make money from this deal so they're profiting on all levels.
Before the country starts attracting huge investments they invest in the country themselves, buying practically everything at a very low price.
They watch as the foreign investments start to flow in and the price for land and commercial and industrial structures skyrocket, the increased production most likely raise the country's carbon debt again, which mean later the prices will start to drop again.
When Karin feels the prices have reached their peak, they sell everything they've invested in, for humongous profit.

Other than that we have some symbolism on how they need to keep Medusa feeling it's trapped in a small island and the carbon debts are waves that can sink it if they're too big and etc.
Also I don't think the whole process would take less than 5 minutes, but let's just leave it at that.


idk man i hardly can catch this whole carbon thing lol.

The heterochromia loli is one messed up little girl. Psychokinetically mangled the body of one of her retainers for the hell of it. What a stressful job that must be.

And seems like the fat miko is a transvestite as well. Double the trouble...

I'm over 15 years late to the party, but as someone who's bought this twice on DVD (accidentally the second time) I finally decided to give it a watch! So far I'm really enjoying it. I had a pretty hard laugh at the "It was polka dots."

I'm here because I have a question. When Momoko says, "A tranny who loses his jewels gets white pearls in return." What does Momoko mean? I've googled it and have come up dry.
