I can't wait to read what you have to say about the leader of the "western compound".

Since the lot of you hated space battles, this should be a welcome reprieve.

Ep 1:

@_@ Seriously, what kind of fucked up beginning is that???

How can they have Jinto dying and not explain it at all???? And Lafiel has a brother? WHAT?

[Shinon]

That episode was a lot to swallow, especially for someone who hasn't seen Banner of the Stars I. Lol. Although I'm loving the whole drama aspect of the whole thing. Lol. I hope it gets epic soon!

Episode 1:

Yeah, I'd have to agree with you there.

I really have no idea what is going on with Jinto, I was hoping that they'd at least offer some explaination, as right now I am just thinking "Huh?"

What Im guessing is that its one of those 'Here is the reality' situation and then it flashbacks to how it got to be like that.

I hope.

Your powers of induction are indeed strong.

Ep 2:

Oh god, I really, really, really do not like the direction of this show...

PLEASE DON'T LET IT END WITHOUT A LOVE AFFAIR!!!

EDIT: Anyone else finally realised that this show has ecchi in it? How many slow boob-shot pans and cheeky panty shots does this show think it needs? I was noticing it even from Season 1, but I think, judging by the previews, that it's gonna get a bit more blatant in the next episode. Which is kinda gross, considering

most of the women prisoners are meant to be victims of sexual abuse.

Ep 1:

My impression is that the strange beginning of the series, with Lafiel hovering over a shriveled Jinto, is a foreshadowing.

Ep 2:

LOL Lafiel: "We'll starve them, and then blow away the atmosphere if they don't settle down."

Ahh, she's so sweet.
