| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, the Cuadorn is really something... An important episode for sure though as it reveals the story about Eldora and events of the past. Plus, I personally think Cuadorn has a pretty badass design for such an unique beast. |

| Oh shit, so Par wasn't just on a plane during that fateful storm, he was a pilot. Actually, that makes everything make even more sense than what I thought they would do would have. Nice to know more about these characters's struggles and the world they have to protect. I also really liked the convo between Hiroto and his dad, as the latter said something I resonate with regarding writing: "It's just fiction, after all. Some people say it's just for fun. But it can make someone happy, or even end up helping someone." |

| Some amazing character insights in this episode. They packed so much in I fear I may need to forget several important things to hold onto this eps memory running into next week! Ive been most impressed with the blonde haired guys character development. I went to check his name but all records seem scrubbed for characters of this series. He clearly fancies the cat girl though and from his original character playing the game to now really caring about the world and its people has been an amazing development arc. This show gets better and better. I'm glad I didn't switch off in first rerise series as stuff is not getting wild! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| There's no action this episode but a lot of good stuff for the characters. They're all preparing for the battles ahead. |

| So Alus sees Freddie's people as invaders and he is trying to annihilate them in order to fulfill his duty of protecting Eldora, huh. And now they know when he will be able to fire that weapon again. Time is running out and things are getting even more intense. I appreciate how Kazami is up for the task despite his fear since he knows that he can make a difference and that the people who he is trying to protect have even more reason to be afraid. We finally saw why Paru was afraid of flying at first too. It can't be easy to recover mentally from something like that. Then there's Hiroto's father who said something nice. That fiction can help and make people happy. Though he failed to mention that it can also make you really sad. This is looking more like a traditional Gundam with stakes and all, but let's hope that it won't end in tragedy. Maybe it would be better for it, but I don't know. |

| A striking episode. Someone in the youtube comments suggested that the tallk Hiroto's dad could have been a meta-comment on this shows relation to the original divers. I doubt it, because they probably don't pay much attention to the overseas reception. I don't know how Japan received the first Divers, but it seems likely it was better liked than here for it to get a continuation like this. Also, the presentation of the original has been quite positive in this show. I'm glad for that, because while flawed the first Divers did have some interesting ideas and characters (like Magee <3). Still, it's not out of question that the studio felt dissatisfied with the results on their own terms regardless of how people reacted to it, especially if the commercialization aspect got in the way of the story they wanted to tell, not unlike the original 0079. If that's even slightly true then I think the studio's courage is inspiring and hope they all get well rewarded for their efforts, and may it continue in the episodes ahead. Edit: How did I not immediately think of Hiroto's trauma over not saving Eve (and even the satellite laser incident). A past regret he'd rather forget, a chance to make things right this time. |
