Watch it. Freakin do it. It's epic.


Spoiler :
After the results of ep 15, and now seeing this little trailer material for ep 17, some stuff is gonna hit the fan...this is kindof an unusual thing in an anime series isn't it?

To take a jump in time like this? Are there any other shows that do this? We have 10 eps left starting with #17, so it should be interesting to see what they do with that amount of time.

awsm for Viral joining the brigade...also awsm for Simoun x Nia.

Fans of Simon x Nia will both love and hate episode 17.
Spoiler :
Something inside Nia is the destroyer from the moon?

And poor Viral. This episode actually made me feel sorry for him.

Spoiler :
Seriously...this has taken a rather dramatic, complicated, and GAR twist.

I'm really really really excited :o

Tepperin has become a thriving city renamed after Kamina, Simoun is in control, Rossiu is in somewhat of a dissent over how things should be going, everything is getting complicated.

Yoko has left and is nowhere to be seen. I have a feeling she's gonna show up a little later, hopefully she'll blow a lot of shit up and look awsm doing it.

Nia X Simoun...yay.

Nia = the enemy......yay! no wait :/

yay!

Damn them, it looks like the preview for ep. 19 may contain some major spoilers.

Anyways, eps. 18
Spoiler :
Somewhat predictable this time. We finally get to hear Lord Genome's words explained. And bad news for Nia x Simon by the sound of it :(
And the 19 preview (speculation but maybe spoilers
Spoiler :
So Simon's being put on trial for the damage to the city by Rossiu (traitorous bastard)

However, the very last scene it looks like Rossiu is giving Simon back the Lagan "key" so he must have a change of heart. I'm guess Rossiu relieves Simon of his political position but puts him in charge of a military operation to resolve this mess. Maybe he even reforms the brigade as the flashback in the first episode seemed to hint.

Well, I guess I was wrong. Really surprised that this show has turned into Gundam style politics.
Spoiler :
Viral and Simon jailbreak incoming, I bet.

Simon's got a lot of supporters still by the looks of it. He'll turn the tide on that traitorous Rossiu by the end.

Many of Rossiu's actions were logical, even reasonable. If not for his incarceration of Simon, his words that his actions were for the best of humanity would have been genuine, but in his imprisonment of Simon, he also locked away one of the fundamental delusions of humanity, that of hope. Thus, all that was left for humanity was flawed reason, short sighted logic, and despair.
