Birdy the Mighty Decode 2

Damn son, I thought the one with the convicts was her childhood friend, not the guy from the OVA! Now that is a twist!

And that small one, red haired other Altilan? Altan? Small one, I thought it was a girl, then thought it was a boy after a while and now it's really a girl? God, when they have characters that look cute like that, I can't even tell if it's a boy or girl.

When he mentioned his father was missing, I thought it'd be that blue-haired scoundrel with the other criminals and not the bookkeeper. I was surprised, to be honest. But Birdy's childhood friend had better not die or separate ties like last season. It'll get depressing soon enough.

Oh shit, didn't think Tsutomu would get it! He's a smart one.

I was wondering who was that guy face punching the alien in the preview for last episode but I'm not genre savvy enough to realize it'd be the childhood friend. But we got motive, we got revelation, we got plenty of stuff and only two episodes in. Plot so far is "capture aliens behind attempted genocide" with room for development between Birdy and Childhood Friend and plenty of time for comedic events throughout. But like where it's going with showing the aftermath of those affected by the last season's climatic events.

I just wanted to use fallout.

Last time I think a flashback would end badly. Next flashback will be bad.
Shit, am I watching Gantz? That zoom-in to Earth was da bomb. Fo-shiz.

Now that I think about it, might have suspected it to be White Haired, Tanned Fantasy to have killed the one in the hotel. And with those twins, the cutoff time between their half-sentences is amazing.

OH SHIT FLYING CHOKE HOLD I was doing the horns automatically when she put the smack down on that bitch ass fucker and she fucking leaped feet first onto the same guy's back! Kid's got skill.

This was a pretty cool episode. Life for the unfortunate, some development for Natasu and his relationship with Birdy, some action and while I hoped that child licking pedo got his face caved in by Natasu's psycho side, Birdy did well throwing them out windows and doors.

That shady guy with those aliens, the human who isn't The Bookkeeper, he's the one carrying Birdy in the flashback, isn't he?

Woah. Is she defending herself with some guy's arm? And she's going toe-to-toe with a giant... undead mechanical skull mecha knight? As a kid?

Man this is badass.

Continuation, Birdy meets up with her old chum, Nataru, from when they were kids back home. Glad to see someone else made it, and he seems like a nice guy. Never said goodbye and it's been 14 years since they left their home of war, racism, pollution and every crappy ass thing that makes it just like Earth.

Backstory, and it is quite a depressing topic. But it's fair that they talk about the past and flesh out their characters for each other and the viewers. 14 years and all that jazz. She can still overpower him.

Kids and their school skipping. That is youth~

Virtual Reaction Chip, quite useful. These alien criminals know their stuff by using such countermeasures to get rid of evidence.

His friend with the glasses hams it up. Makes me wish I was watching it dubbed so I can imagine him as Hanai, who in turn hams it up ludicrously.

A... dude? That little one with the red head who was once an enemy of Birdy or at least an acquaintance but not really an ally from the first season and sometimes helped her out? Same species but with birds? Totally remember him.

When he walked down that hallway, totally tripped me out. The animation sure is something.

Childhood friends, she has such a head start over the little haughty girl. And Birdy's adorably clueless about it. I'm surprised Guy knows more than her about matters of love, or that he knows so much. Probably noticeable when he isn't at the center of it or it doesn't directly concern him (Minus the body sharing and stuff).

999.0% or 99.90% Gold? Reminds me of something. Maybe actual gold. Certainly something.

When Natsume is walking up those steps to the Old Guy's Pottery Shop (?), that animation. Good stuff.
Riansharu, maybe I should have watched the first episode. But he probably died when a building fell on top of him. They do that.

Old Lady Ilma, she's oddly lovable.

Gapirian. This one is new. And karma! Being forced to drink spiked sweat coffee.

This music, prelude to music one can kick ass to. God this brings me back to the first season. Thus tune is some real good stuff. And yes! Running gag returns! That yakuza boss can never get a break. And really, this tune, callback to the first season and it's a chase tune.

Look at Natsuru, standing there like a badass, dishing out vigilante justice by kicking ass and taking names. He's a heroes' hero by completely rocking their arms off. Guess an anti-hero, that whole arm-ripping thing part.

Didn't expect him to be effected by the fallout from the first season or for his bro to crumble into glass shards and glass eyes. The eyes are what really sell it, because that is disturbing.

He actually knocked his teeth out and unleashed a brutal 12-hit kill combo to wall throw, causing the wall to get a crater a second after impact. If that ain't badass and cruel, I don't know what is. Excellent music as well, but the guy will kill himself trying to kill them all.
