Latest / Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly / 86 [Eighty-Six] Ep.19- Stay This Way Forever
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, it's your quote unquote person, Michelle. I guess back again,
- 0:06Speaker 1: because I gotta be back, I guess, And of course
- 0:10Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about eighty six, episode nineteen today. I
- 0:13Speaker 1: did want to quickly circle back to what I was
- 0:15Speaker 1: talking about last week. With the new shows for the
- 0:18Speaker 1: summer season, I missed two shows that are returning, and
- 0:22Speaker 1: I felt bad, so I wanted to tell you about them.
- 0:25Speaker 1: So the first one is the second core of Doctor
- 0:29Speaker 1: Stone's Science Future is you know, doing its thing again.
- 0:34Speaker 1: So that's good. I really like Doctor Stone, so if
- 0:39Speaker 1: you like it too, you can watch it or not.
- 0:41Speaker 1: I will say though, that I think I may have
- 0:44Speaker 1: said this before on the podcast, but I'm pretty sure
- 0:46Speaker 1: I know how it ends because someone's spoiled it for me,
- 0:50Speaker 1: and if that's the way it ends, I'm just gonna
- 0:52Speaker 1: end up hating the entire thing. So I have some
- 0:55Speaker 1: trepidation watching it because I feel like I'm heading for
- 0:59Speaker 1: something stupid. But whatever. The other thing that I forgot
- 1:04Speaker 1: I didn't even know was coming back is toilet Bound
- 1:07Speaker 1: Hana Kocoon, which I don't know if I've ever talked
- 1:10Speaker 1: about it here before. It's the spirit that's stuck in
- 1:14Speaker 1: the girl's bathroom at a school and he's friends. It's
- 1:17Speaker 1: a guy he's friends with some Garlu has really thick
- 1:21Speaker 1: ankles and they like find the like weird seven Wonders
- 1:28Speaker 1: of the School sort of thing. I don't know, that's
- 1:31Speaker 1: all I got for you with that. It's kind of
- 1:34Speaker 1: I think, maybe less mature or geared towards younger audiences
- 1:38Speaker 1: than some of the other stuff I watch. But I've
- 1:39Speaker 1: been watching it since like it's started and it's still
- 1:42Speaker 1: pretty good. So yeah, it's like a supernatural thing. I
- 1:47Speaker 1: don't know, that's all I got. I don't think there's
- 1:50Speaker 1: anything else except that I watched the second episode of
- 1:53Speaker 1: Gatchia Kuda and it was really really good, so now
- 1:56Speaker 1: I'm excited. Also, the opening theme and was really fucking cool,
- 2:02Speaker 1: and the opening theme itself was just kind of super
- 2:04Speaker 1: awesome as well. It's by Pale Horse and I think
- 2:06Speaker 1: it's called Hugs, and I'm like really excited about it
- 2:11Speaker 1: because I like hearing like weird, hardcoor ish. I'm not
- 2:16Speaker 1: sure what genre this is in anime because it just
- 2:19Speaker 1: doesn't happen that often. So yep, yeah, that's that's gonna
- 2:24Speaker 1: be it. I'm already hot because I don't have my
- 2:27Speaker 1: air conditioner on, because it's really annoying to record this
- 2:29Speaker 1: with the air conditioner on. So let's get into it.
- 2:33Speaker 1: So Episode nineteen is called Stay this Way Forever, which
- 2:37Speaker 1: I don't know if that sounds like a good thing.
- 2:39Speaker 1: It kind of doesn't sound like a good thing to me.
- 2:42Speaker 1: And it starts exactly where we left off in the
- 2:45Speaker 1: last episode, which was we started seeing like all those
- 2:48Speaker 1: Legion symbols on Shin screen and then he smiled right
- 2:52Speaker 1: because they're about to fight. So anyway, we literally see
- 2:56Speaker 1: that scene again. There's a bunch of Legion on Shin
- 2:59Speaker 1: screen and they're approaching and we're starting to hear like
- 3:02Speaker 1: a lot of voices in the background, like distorted voices,
- 3:06Speaker 1: and we see Shin smile again, and then we kind
- 3:08Speaker 1: of cut to the plane which is flying sort of
- 3:12Speaker 1: really low, and Shint says Lieutenant Colonel, and we hear
- 3:16Speaker 1: Greth say, yeah, I just saw them. They've come to
- 3:18Speaker 1: block our path. We are now kind of like behind
- 3:21Speaker 1: the plane, so we can just kind of see the
- 3:23Speaker 1: Legions lights in the distance sparkling, and Shin says, can
- 3:28Speaker 1: we dodge them? Greath's like not easily. I told you,
- 3:32Speaker 1: turning's not this baby's thing. The camera kind of pans
- 3:35Speaker 1: around the plane as it starts to lift into the air,
- 3:39Speaker 1: which is kind of weird because I thought it was
- 3:41Speaker 1: a ground effect thing. I didn't know it could go
- 3:44Speaker 1: significantly off the ground, but anyway it is. And we
- 3:47Speaker 1: hear Greth say I'll handle them. Don't worry, just head
- 3:51Speaker 1: for the Morpho. They are getting higher up into the
- 3:54Speaker 1: night sky now, and Ryding's like, how Greth says, I
- 3:59Speaker 1: was hoping I could like before you got off. But
- 4:01Speaker 1: the back of the hatch starts to open now and
- 4:03Speaker 1: Andrew's like, are you going to drop us? And THEO
- 4:07Speaker 1: says from this altitude Greath's like, don't worry. We built
- 4:11Speaker 1: it really fast, but it did still work. Oh god.
- 4:14Speaker 1: And then we see that thing that those people were
- 4:17Speaker 1: looking at and they were like, I hope we don't
- 4:18Speaker 1: have to use it. And I still don't know what
- 4:19Speaker 1: it is, but I guess it's like a landing thingy.
- 4:23Speaker 1: I don't know, but anyway, Andre and THEO looks super worried,
- 4:26Speaker 1: and Greth says, don't worry about us. But however, Ride
- 4:30Speaker 1: and and Karina do look pretty fucking worried, and breath continues.
- 4:34Speaker 1: I brought a spare a spare What we hear shin say,
- 4:38Speaker 1: lieutenant colonel, if you're just distracting the enemy, you don't
- 4:42Speaker 1: need to fight. After making contact, evacuate to the forest.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Grests like, oh, thank you, but don't underestimate me, kid.
- 4:50Speaker 1: She flips a red switch and exhales, May the speed
- 4:54Speaker 1: of the Gods protect us. Karina theo on you and
- 4:57Speaker 1: ride and gasp collectively, and and they like scream a
- 5:01Speaker 1: bunch as we have this like really weird close up
- 5:04Speaker 1: shot of the Reagan leaves on a platform as the
- 5:07Speaker 1: platform like shakes and rocks back and forth. So, oh God,
- 5:13Speaker 1: this episode, to me symbolizes everything that was going wrong
- 5:17Speaker 1: with this production because I literally no idea what was
- 5:19Speaker 1: happening here. I mean I kind of guessed that they
- 5:22Speaker 1: were falling, because we're supposed to understand that the Reagan
- 5:26Speaker 1: leaves on the platform are falling out of the sky,
- 5:28Speaker 1: but there's just not anything really going on. We're just
- 5:31Speaker 1: seeing like the platform rock back and forth. We don't
- 5:34Speaker 1: see like them getting closer to the ground or the
- 5:37Speaker 1: background sky changing in any way that would signify that
- 5:40Speaker 1: they're falling, so it's really really weird, and I remember
- 5:43Speaker 1: watching it the first time and just going like, what
- 5:45Speaker 1: the fuck, And that's exactly how I felt this time too,
- 5:48Speaker 1: which is a little annoying because we probably haven't talked
- 5:52Speaker 1: about this either, because I just haven't. The Reagan leafs
- 5:54Speaker 1: and all the macs are always computer animated, so like, really,
- 5:58Speaker 1: we couldn't spend a couple more minutes. It's just animating
- 6:00Speaker 1: a fall I don't understand. But anyway, all of a sudden,
- 6:04Speaker 1: multiple parachutes deploy and that's when I knew for sure
- 6:08Speaker 1: that they were actually falling. Shinn winces and then he
- 6:11Speaker 1: hears a scream and looks over. At this point, I
- 6:16Speaker 1: think we're supposed to understand that the not Surer is
- 6:19Speaker 1: like getting shot down in the distance, but it's like
- 6:22Speaker 1: off to kind of the right side, and it's really small,
- 6:25Speaker 1: and it's like impossible to tell that that's what's supposed
- 6:28Speaker 1: to be going on. Well almost impossible. I'm sure some
- 6:30Speaker 1: people knew immediately, but to me, I was just like, what,
- 6:33Speaker 1: Like without the next line, which is Karina saying the
- 6:38Speaker 1: notch Surer, I wouldn't have known that that's what was
- 6:40Speaker 1: happening that it was getting shot down. The scream could
- 6:43Speaker 1: have been from anyone. I don't know, So I'm pretty
- 6:47Speaker 1: unhappy visually with this episode, especially this part. I just
- 6:51Speaker 1: feel like there was a way to do this that
- 6:53Speaker 1: communicated what was happening besides just Karina saying it basically anyway,
- 7:00Speaker 1: so the Noch probably went down and that was probably
- 7:04Speaker 1: greath screaming, which is just great. And Shin anyway briefly
- 7:08Speaker 1: closes his eyes and says, prepare for impact. Everyone some
- 7:12Speaker 1: like thrusters or something deploy somewhere, and then the parachutes
- 7:17Speaker 1: detach and the thing that they're on like slides onto
- 7:21Speaker 1: the ground. Kurin, Atheo Are and ride In look pretty
- 7:25Speaker 1: worried and upset because they're telling us that something bad
- 7:29Speaker 1: happened to the Noch, even though we didn't really see it.
- 7:32Speaker 1: And Andrew says, Lieutenant Colonel. We hear Shin say, let's
- 7:36Speaker 1: go in the distance. Now there is like a town
- 7:39Speaker 1: and some hills, and then also like to the side
- 7:43Speaker 1: a large fire with like those sparkly flying leadion over it.
- 7:46Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to know that that is
- 7:49Speaker 1: the Nocher on fire. And then the Reagan leafs start
- 7:53Speaker 1: to go forward towards the town. I'm gonna go to
- 7:56Speaker 1: the opening. Yay, that sounded very sarcastic. It was a
- 8:00Speaker 1: little bit because I was very annoyed with that scene. Anyway.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Back from the opening, we see a digital map in
- 8:06Speaker 1: like one of the control rooms, and the not Surer
- 8:08Speaker 1: symbol just blips out completely, and we hear someone say
- 8:12Speaker 1: we've lost contact with the Notch Surer. We see Ernest's
- 8:16Speaker 1: clenched fists, and the voice continues, All troops were dropped
- 8:19Speaker 1: before the signal was lost, and they're still active. I
- 8:22Speaker 1: will say that all I saw was the original Spearhead
- 8:25Speaker 1: members dropped, but I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to know
- 8:27Speaker 1: that they were all dropped, all fifteen of them. So thanks.
- 8:31Speaker 1: The voice continues, but we've just received word from Lieutenant
- 8:34Speaker 1: knows In that they've encountered the enemy. The enemy has
- 8:37Speaker 1: built up a defensive perimeter. That dark haired guy who
- 8:39Speaker 1: we don't know what his name is, his eyes kind
- 8:41Speaker 1: of narrow and he's like hmm. On the screen. The
- 8:44Speaker 1: legion like symbols are starting to disappear as Nordlch advances,
- 8:49Speaker 1: and we hear someone who I wasn't sure if it
- 8:52Speaker 1: was on you or what's going on? Say, hey, are
- 8:56Speaker 1: they leading us somewhere? And someone else says, well, commander,
- 9:00Speaker 1: we hear Ride and say, with this many around us,
- 9:03Speaker 1: Shin's ears alone can't help. They're like running like all
- 9:06Speaker 1: over the abandoned city and stuff, and Karina's like, well,
- 9:09Speaker 1: just have to keep going. Legion are like shooting at them,
- 9:11Speaker 1: and they're shooting back, and THEO says, here comes some more.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Shin like jumps ahead of them at like one of
- 9:17Speaker 1: the big ones, and Andrew's like, Shin, he shoots his
- 9:20Speaker 1: grappling hooks into that big one and like jumps and
- 9:23Speaker 1: like shoots it from directly above and then lands as
- 9:26Speaker 1: it explodes behind him. We see his mouth, not the
- 9:30Speaker 1: rest of his face, and he just kind of scowls
- 9:32Speaker 1: and exhales. He then looks up at the legion that
- 9:35Speaker 1: are firing at him, like on his screen, and he
- 9:38Speaker 1: sees that there's like a really big one like way off.
- 9:42Speaker 1: I guess they all do, because ride In gasps and
- 9:44Speaker 1: he's like, that's it. THEO says, it's that big. We
- 9:49Speaker 1: get like a brief glimpse of it, and it looks
- 9:51Speaker 1: like maybe it's the size of a large multi store building.
- 9:54Speaker 1: And Are says the morpho is kind of like a millipede.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Karina says, it's more like a centipede. I can't tell
- 10:01Speaker 1: now because we are so close up that I can't
- 10:04Speaker 1: tell what I'm looking at. So thank you for describing
- 10:07Speaker 1: it to me, because otherwise I would not have known.
- 10:10Speaker 1: Karina continues, it's got long legs and it's kind of
- 10:13Speaker 1: squirming around. Yeah, I can't see that. Theo says, it
- 10:17Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It's disgusting either way. Yeah, we're just gonna
- 10:20Speaker 1: have to rely on their description anyway. Shin's like le
- 10:24Speaker 1: or HQ. We've sighted the enemy near the high speed
- 10:26Speaker 1: train terminal at Krudzbeck City. It doesn't seem to have
- 10:29Speaker 1: finished its repairs. Someone says this Isle ro HQ. Roger,
- 10:34Speaker 1: a United Kingdom observation unit is nearby. Shin's like Roger.
- 10:38Speaker 1: We will now begin combats. All of the riggingly move
- 10:41Speaker 1: forward and we get really super close up on MorphOS.
- 10:46Speaker 1: I think it's his head, and it like moves slightly,
- 10:49Speaker 1: revealing its eyesensor thing, which is not good because it
- 10:53Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to be ready. And all of spearhead minus
- 10:56Speaker 1: Shin gasp. Karina is like it moved, I know, Karina.
- 11:00Speaker 1: It's like face hyehlight begins to glow and we hear
- 11:04Speaker 1: it say I'll kill you, I'll kill you, just kind
- 11:09Speaker 1: of over and over again. Shin's eyes narrow and he
- 11:12Speaker 1: puts his hand on the trigger and fires. They're like
- 11:15Speaker 1: shooting at it and like hitting it. And there's like
- 11:18Speaker 1: a structure around it that I didn't know was around it.
- 11:21Speaker 1: I think maybe it's the train station or something. It
- 11:23Speaker 1: starts to crumble as the Morpho stirs, and then it
- 11:27Speaker 1: lifts up its gigantic railgun like straight up. It's like
- 11:31Speaker 1: five times the size of its body, and it's kind
- 11:33Speaker 1: of light bulb shaped with the bulb part on the
- 11:35Speaker 1: bottom and the rest of the structure just tumbles down
- 11:38Speaker 1: around it. It's a pretty cool looking rail gun. I
- 11:41Speaker 1: don't know what they normally look like, but I bet
- 11:43Speaker 1: it's not as cool as this. Anju, Rydin, Theo and
- 11:46Speaker 1: Karina all look just horrified because yeah, and the big
- 11:50Speaker 1: railgun like glows yellow and electricity starts like kind of
- 11:55Speaker 1: coming out around it and stuff, and it's still just
- 11:58Speaker 1: saying I'll kill you over and over again, but kind
- 12:00Speaker 1: of not as aggressive as we're used to the ill
- 12:04Speaker 1: kill us. So I don't know what's up with that,
- 12:06Speaker 1: Maybe because it's tired and being fixed, so it just
- 12:09Speaker 1: doesn't have as much energy to put into the all
- 12:12Speaker 1: kill yous. Maybe Anyway, Shin is the only one who
- 12:16Speaker 1: doesn't look phased at all, and Karina's like, it's fixed.
- 12:19Speaker 1: THEO says, what do we do? Bernhold's like, Commander Shin
- 12:24Speaker 1: is not responding, and then just out of nowhere, the
- 12:27Speaker 1: light on the rail gun just turns off and the
- 12:31Speaker 1: voice stops and everyone looks surprised. It's silent for a minute,
- 12:35Speaker 1: and then we hear like that calm noise, and Fredrika says,
- 12:39Speaker 1: get back Shine, what you're seeing is in Kiri. Shin
- 12:42Speaker 1: gasps and as Kitty's red eyes and blue face like
- 12:46Speaker 1: kind of come into his mind, and we start to
- 12:49Speaker 1: hear him say I'll kill you, like over and over again,
- 12:52Speaker 1: but very much stronger and more emphatically then we were
- 12:56Speaker 1: hearing those like I'll kill yous just a second ago.
- 12:59Speaker 1: And Shin starts to get the visions again, like overlapping
- 13:02Speaker 1: him like at the end of the first core, and
- 13:05Speaker 1: kidd he's just saying, I'll kill you all. We see
- 13:08Speaker 1: another legion's eye come on somewhere baby in the mountains,
- 13:12Speaker 1: and Shin gasps and he turns his Reagan leaf and
- 13:16Speaker 1: there's this truly giant legion thing like perched on a
- 13:20Speaker 1: utility tower thing somewhere like way far off, and it
- 13:23Speaker 1: has these four white glowing wings, I guess, and Shin's like,
- 13:29Speaker 1: everyone retreat now. Rydon says, what's wrong. Sin's like, I'll
- 13:33Speaker 1: explain later, and Righting's like Roger. They all start to
- 13:37Speaker 1: run away, and that legion like lifts its wings and
- 13:41Speaker 1: then brings them down again, and then its head starts
- 13:44Speaker 1: to glow like greenish, and all of a sudden, all
- 13:48Speaker 1: the lights on all of the buildings and the street
- 13:50Speaker 1: lights and everything just glow like come on and glow.
- 13:52Speaker 1: And then there's a power surgeon. It breaks all the
- 13:54Speaker 1: bulbs and a wave of power rushes through the whole city,
- 13:58Speaker 1: and then the area where warf was they just ran
- 14:01Speaker 1: away from just like explodes. They all look on at
- 14:04Speaker 1: the explosion as the screen just goes white. At the
- 14:07Speaker 1: command centers, their screens just cut to static and everyone gasps.
- 14:11Speaker 1: Some guys like impact confirmed near cruise deck City terminal.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Likely a morpho attack. Some other guys like impossible, and
- 14:18Speaker 1: the third guy says it wasn't supposed to repair itself.
- 14:21Speaker 1: The dark haired guy says, if it wasn't a repair
- 14:24Speaker 1: but a swapout. One of the guys looks over at him, confused,
- 14:27Speaker 1: and he continues, it would have been faster to put
- 14:30Speaker 1: an undamaged core into his spare. He narrows his eyes.
- 14:34Speaker 1: So they've succeeded in luring us out. Fuck. Some guy
- 14:38Speaker 1: says all United Kingdom observers have been lost in the attack.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Another guy says, goddamn those pieces of scrap, and the
- 14:46Speaker 1: third guy's like, we've got no choice but to do
- 14:48Speaker 1: a saturation missile strike. Ernest says it's useless. He is
- 14:52Speaker 1: like just barely on the screen, like kind of cut
- 14:55Speaker 1: off in the corner, but the light is reflecting in
- 14:58Speaker 1: his glasses so we can't see as the expression, and
- 15:00Speaker 1: he continues, where would you fire the missiles. We don't
- 15:04Speaker 1: know the enemy's location, our raiders down and we have
- 15:07Speaker 1: no observation drones. One of the guys says, it's a
- 15:11Speaker 1: rail based cannon. If we can destroy the tracks, Ernst
- 15:14Speaker 1: cuts him off. It can hit most of our forward
- 15:16Speaker 1: bases from where it is right and they'd repair the
- 15:18Speaker 1: rails in no time. We'd be wasting missiles. The guy's
- 15:22Speaker 1: like with Nordlich failure, we have no other choice. We
- 15:25Speaker 1: need to protect the Western Front from an artillery attack,
- 15:28Speaker 1: even if it's just for now. Ernst is sitting in
- 15:31Speaker 1: front of the screen with the just pixelated snow on it,
- 15:35Speaker 1: and he says, and what will you do after now passes?
- 15:40Speaker 1: Send another team without even a way to open a
- 15:43Speaker 1: path home for them, abandoning the soldiers you send into
- 15:46Speaker 1: enemy territory to protect yourself giving up on the rest
- 15:49Speaker 1: of the plan. That's disgusting behavior, beneath humanity. As the
- 15:54Speaker 1: Federacy's provisional president and its commander in chief, do you
- 15:58Speaker 1: think I'd allow that the Federacy has higher ideals to uphold?
- 16:03Speaker 1: He stands. If we're talking about giving up on that,
- 16:06Speaker 1: we'd be better off destroyed. Everyone just stares at him
- 16:10Speaker 1: because yeah, and he continues, you allowed me to become president,
- 16:15Speaker 1: and now you must live with the consequences. Fuck, dude,
- 16:20Speaker 1: if you insist that the only way we can survive
- 16:22Speaker 1: is an unethical one, he kind of leans on the
- 16:26Speaker 1: wailing of the second floor, so he's framed in the
- 16:30Speaker 1: TV snow and he continues, then you'll have to die
- 16:34Speaker 1: here along with my ideals. Fuck, dude, you're really fucking cool,
- 16:39Speaker 1: and that's really intense that those are your ideals and
- 16:43Speaker 1: it's okay for everyone to die along with them. Yay.
- 16:47Speaker 1: The captain that hates Spearhead that I don't know what
- 16:49Speaker 1: his name is, gasps, and we get like a shot
- 16:52Speaker 1: of Ernest eyes and he just looks so fucking dead,
- 16:55Speaker 1: and the dark haired guy goes it seems that may
- 16:58Speaker 1: be unnecessary. Religious stats have come back online. Some guys
- 17:02Speaker 1: like all members of Nordlich survived. We get a close
- 17:06Speaker 1: up on Ernst eyes looking maybe a little worried now
- 17:10Speaker 1: as all the screens come back on, and some guys
- 17:12Speaker 1: like they're still attempting to destroy the morpho. Ernst looks
- 17:16Speaker 1: a little less upset now when he sighs. We get
- 17:19Speaker 1: this high shot of that city that's Nordlich is in,
- 17:23Speaker 1: with like this big red hole, destroyed area and more
- 17:28Speaker 1: fo I guess the real morpho glowing off in the
- 17:31Speaker 1: distance in the mountains. The reaganly for all kind of
- 17:34Speaker 1: walking through the instruction and riding says to think the
- 17:38Speaker 1: real one was somewhere else and even you couldn't tell.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Shin's like we're changing targets. Everyone heading two eight zero distance,
- 17:46Speaker 1: five thousand equip heat rounds get into positions, and everyone's
- 17:50Speaker 1: like Roger. We see one of them crawling up a
- 17:53Speaker 1: building and they've all aimed their guns at like super high.
- 17:56Speaker 1: I guess off at the blue light in the distance.
- 17:59Speaker 1: We see Shin screen like showing them all like locking
- 18:02Speaker 1: onto target, and Shin goes fire. I guess they all fire.
- 18:06Speaker 1: And there's like all sorts of these orange lights like
- 18:08Speaker 1: heading at the morpho and everybody looks really tense, and
- 18:12Speaker 1: we see Shin screen. It's zoomed in eight times, and
- 18:15Speaker 1: the Morpho is like shooting down the missiles, I think,
- 18:18Speaker 1: and somebody's like shit. Shin smiles, okay, Onju shoots like
- 18:23Speaker 1: a lot of missiles like she did that one time,
- 18:25Speaker 1: and it kind of looks like they hit it. Shin's
- 18:27Speaker 1: reaguanly like bounds forward and he just continues to smile,
- 18:32Speaker 1: and he like jumps into the air and like shoots
- 18:34Speaker 1: a missile. It launches like right at the camera screen
- 18:37Speaker 1: and everything goes black. We cut to a closeup of
- 18:40Speaker 1: a mouth on a frowning blue face, and we hear
- 18:44Speaker 1: the blue person say, pale writer to no face, prescribe
- 18:48Speaker 1: firing schedule complete special target with callsign Bailgur successfully lured
- 18:53Speaker 1: and destroyed. We see a screen focused on the fire
- 18:56Speaker 1: in the city in the distance, and this person, pale rider,
- 18:59Speaker 1: continues the analysis was correct. Ballager could not detect the
- 19:03Speaker 1: spaar when it was in sleep mode. Something responds and
- 19:07Speaker 1: says no face to pale writer, confirm Ballagher's destruction. Pale writer,
- 19:13Speaker 1: who is Kiri's head with his eyes closed, says, pale
- 19:17Speaker 1: writer to no face unnecessary. Ballagher was certainly destroyed. No face,
- 19:22Speaker 1: says no face. Roger, leave your firing position and return
- 19:26Speaker 1: to your designated district. Kittie's like Roger. His big legion
- 19:31Speaker 1: body starts to turn away, but then he turns his
- 19:34Speaker 1: head back and he's like survivors. He's already getting fired at,
- 19:39Speaker 1: and he's like, maggots, do you think your little guns
- 19:42Speaker 1: can defeat me? We see on his screen that like
- 19:45Speaker 1: there's no damage because it says no damage, and at
- 19:50Speaker 1: this point another like missile hits him and he gasps.
- 19:53Speaker 1: He sees Shin's Reagan leaf land on one of the
- 19:56Speaker 1: electrical towers kind of nearby, and he's like, it could
- 20:00Speaker 1: still move impossible, he smiles. That's he sees the headless
- 20:06Speaker 1: skeleton on Chin's Reagan leaf. You're still alive. Oh fuck,
- 20:10Speaker 1: he remembers from last time. We go back to Shin's
- 20:13Speaker 1: perspective now and Kiri is just screaming, I'll kill you
- 20:16Speaker 1: over and over again. So this is kind of interesting
- 20:19Speaker 1: and we'll talk about it in a little while. Shin's like,
- 20:21Speaker 1: still too far. He smiles and jumps down and sprints forward.
- 20:26Speaker 1: We hear right and say, now what fire again? Shin
- 20:30Speaker 1: Shin is just smiling his horrible smile, completely despondent and
- 20:34Speaker 1: Riding's like Shin Shin shoots again and we hear no
- 20:38Speaker 1: face say, no face to pale rider, you are instructed
- 20:41Speaker 1: to leave the enemy to your escorts and withdraw. Kiri's like,
- 20:45Speaker 1: pale writer to no face. That order is unacceptable. I'll
- 20:49Speaker 1: destroy the enemy, no face, says no face to pale rider.
- 20:53Speaker 1: I repeat, you are instructed to leave the enemy to
- 20:56Speaker 1: your escorts and withdraw from the combat zone. He kind
- 21:00Speaker 1: of gasps and scowls and we go back to Shin's blank,
- 21:04Speaker 1: fucked up smile as his comrades are just calling out
- 21:07Speaker 1: to him over and over again, and he says, if
- 21:10Speaker 1: you make your desire to kill me that obvious, it's easy.
- 21:14Speaker 1: No Face is like the enemy Feldrip has an advantage
- 21:17Speaker 1: at this range. In addition, your weapons are likely fatal
- 21:20Speaker 1: to Bailager. I thought we were trying to kill him.
- 21:23Speaker 1: Shin's Reagan leaf is still bolting forward as his team
- 21:26Speaker 1: is still calling to him, and he's still hearing I'll
- 21:28Speaker 1: kill you over and over again. At this point, Kiri's
- 21:32Speaker 1: face kind of gets glitchy like Rays Face did with
- 21:34Speaker 1: like all the little individual screens, which is interesting because
- 21:38Speaker 1: it hadn't been like that before. And he looks really
- 21:40Speaker 1: really pissed off, and No Fay says, for those reasons,
- 21:44Speaker 1: you are not permitted to participate in this battle. I'm
- 21:47Speaker 1: so confused. We are now cutting back and forth between
- 21:50Speaker 1: Kiri's pissed off expression and Shin's whatever that smile is
- 21:55Speaker 1: that he has. His eyes almost look sad at this
- 21:58Speaker 1: point or something. I'm really not sure or what this is,
- 22:01Speaker 1: and we hear No Face say, you were ordered to
- 22:04Speaker 1: return to your designated district and fight there. Kitty like screams,
- 22:08Speaker 1: and we're cutting back and forth like really quick, and
- 22:11Speaker 1: then a missile launches from somewhere like behind shit, and
- 22:15Speaker 1: it hits in front of him, like causing him to
- 22:16Speaker 1: come to a dead stop. At the same time, Kitty's
- 22:19Speaker 1: screams are suddenly cut and his face returns to normal.
- 22:23Speaker 1: His weapon shuts down, and his screen says protection violation
- 22:28Speaker 1: in like big red letters. No face says, I repeat,
- 22:31Speaker 1: you were to withdraw from the combat area. There's silence
- 22:35Speaker 1: for a second, and then Kitty says Roger and he
- 22:39Speaker 1: starts to get down from the tower. Shin's like, I
- 22:42Speaker 1: won't let him get away, but then there's like this
- 22:45Speaker 1: beeping from his screen and he looks over and Karina's like, Shin.
- 22:49Speaker 1: At this point, he starts to come back from his
- 22:51Speaker 1: despondent state, and he can now hear everybody calling to him,
- 22:54Speaker 1: and he's breathing like super hard, and someone says the
- 22:58Speaker 1: Legion are back, and another voice is like, they're gonna
- 23:01Speaker 1: surround us. Yeah, he's not doing a good job as
- 23:04Speaker 1: commander right, and says, what do we do, Shin? They're
- 23:07Speaker 1: all still calling to Shin as he just breathes, and
- 23:11Speaker 1: he closes his eyes in frustration, and then we get
- 23:14Speaker 1: the title card, Episode nineteen, Stay this Way Forever. Back
- 23:19Speaker 1: to the action. We cut it to a hand on
- 23:23Speaker 1: a raging leaf control The thumb's kind of tapping away,
- 23:26Speaker 1: and we hear Bernholt say, follow the Morpho. Are you insane?
- 23:31Speaker 1: If we're all together, we can last until the main
- 23:33Speaker 1: force gets here. We hear Shin say, our objective is
- 23:36Speaker 1: to destroy the Morpho, not take this town. Burnholdt does
- 23:40Speaker 1: not look happy. Shin continues, let's go right in. We
- 23:45Speaker 1: see is kind of sweating, and all of Spearhead starts
- 23:48Speaker 1: to walk off with Shin, but the rest of the
- 23:50Speaker 1: team doesn't move, and we hear Bernholt say, why are
- 23:53Speaker 1: you eighty six so willing to risk your lives for
- 23:55Speaker 1: a country that isn't even yours. There's silence, and then
- 23:59Speaker 1: he's like, sheesh, my luck ran out when I got
- 24:02Speaker 1: you as a boss. This is gonna get me killed,
- 24:05Speaker 1: And then to everyone else he's like, listen up, everyone,
- 24:07Speaker 1: turn around. You're in luck. You love hell, and you're
- 24:10Speaker 1: gonna get it. Everyone's like yeah, which is a weird response,
- 24:14Speaker 1: and bernhold continues to Spearhead. Now we'll handle things in
- 24:17Speaker 1: this area. I hate to say it, but even we
- 24:20Speaker 1: can't keep up with your mobility. Behind them, Legion are
- 24:23Speaker 1: sparkling in the distance, and Bernholdt says, I don't want
- 24:26Speaker 1: to be the one to slow you down. Good luck.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Burnholdt and the rest of the unit head in the
- 24:31Speaker 1: opposite direction to meet up with the legion that are
- 24:33Speaker 1: coming for them. Spearhead minus Shin look worried, and then
- 24:37Speaker 1: we cut to that hand on the control, but now
- 24:39Speaker 1: it's shaking pretty sure Shin, and Shin says thanks, and
- 24:44Speaker 1: he moves his control forward. It's now morning and we're
- 24:47Speaker 1: still by the electrical towers, and we go to more
- 24:52Speaker 1: Fo's many legs crawling and then his eyes and Kitty
- 24:56Speaker 1: says that mark he's thinking of Shin by the way
- 25:02Speaker 1: it belongs to the nose and clan. Wait, how follow me, Ballagher?
- 25:07Speaker 1: He's walking down the tracks or crawling down them. You're
- 25:11Speaker 1: like me, You have no place except on the battlefields,
- 25:14Speaker 1: but you still intend to cling to your pathetic life.
- 25:18Speaker 1: He passes a red flag kind of flapping in the breeze,
- 25:21Speaker 1: and he looks over at it. We get this flashback
- 25:24Speaker 1: to Frederica. She's sitting in a tree with her like
- 25:27Speaker 1: red cloak on, and all these flashback scenes have like
- 25:30Speaker 1: the most unsettling piano music and no dialogue or sound effects.
- 25:35Speaker 1: So anyway, she's in the tree and Kittie is like
- 25:38Speaker 1: looking up at her, and she's like next to a
- 25:40Speaker 1: nest of birds, which I guess is why she went
- 25:42Speaker 1: up in the tree, like little bluebirds, and she's just crying.
- 25:47Speaker 1: And then we see her on a little bridge over
- 25:50Speaker 1: like a little stream or something, pointing down at a
- 25:52Speaker 1: handkerchief that she dropped in the water, and then to
- 25:56Speaker 1: her like tugging on his sleeve trying to get him
- 25:59Speaker 1: to pick her up, like in a room somewhere, And
- 26:01Speaker 1: then we see her hugging him after he got her
- 26:03Speaker 1: down from the tree, and then her smiling at him
- 26:07Speaker 1: as he got her the handkerchief, and then to him
- 26:11Speaker 1: smiling kindly at her as he puts her down on
- 26:13Speaker 1: the throne, and then to her smiling back it in
- 26:16Speaker 1: from his perspective, and then to him looking down at
- 26:19Speaker 1: the blood on his hands, and then finally to him
- 26:22Speaker 1: screaming as he sees her cloak flying from the butt
- 26:26Speaker 1: of like a bayonet or something definitely, assuming that she
- 26:31Speaker 1: is dead. Then back to the red flag again, which
- 26:35Speaker 1: is quickly obscured by the trees. He scowls, that'll teach you.
- 26:40Speaker 1: I'll destroy the comrade you command, the land you call home.
- 26:44Speaker 1: I'll burn it right in front of you. He smiles,
- 26:47Speaker 1: pretty unsettlingly, but not as bad as Shin. I'll make
- 26:50Speaker 1: it so you're all alone. Kind of late with that,
- 26:53Speaker 1: but whatever. We cut to Shin standing in the doorway
- 26:57Speaker 1: of what looks like a hangar, maybe kind of looking
- 26:59Speaker 1: out at some like trees in a forest. We're just
- 27:02Speaker 1: kind of seeing its back. And the time since the
- 27:05Speaker 1: mission began is five hours, sixteen minutes and seventeen seconds.
- 27:09Speaker 1: And we hear a voice say, I want to confirm
- 27:12Speaker 1: this again. Your small force moves much faster than the
- 27:15Speaker 1: entire army. We can't offer artillery support, let alone air support,
- 27:20Speaker 1: or send reinforcements. Will you still continue your pursuit? Shin's
- 27:24Speaker 1: like fire support and reinforcements from the main force. We're
- 27:27Speaker 1: never part of the plan. There's no other way. The
- 27:30Speaker 1: voice is like, it's embarrassing to hear you say that, though,
- 27:34Speaker 1: Oh okay, it's the dark haired guy. He's in like
- 27:37Speaker 1: a jeep or something with some other people, and he's
- 27:39Speaker 1: looking at a tablet and he says, just because we
- 27:41Speaker 1: left it to you once doesn't mean you have to
- 27:43Speaker 1: stay once the situation's changed. It's not fair. If you
- 27:47Speaker 1: changed your mind, you can fall back. Shin's like, you're joking.
- 27:52Speaker 1: Every minute we spend retreating is a minute that more
- 27:54Speaker 1: folk gets deeper into legion held territory and becomes harder
- 27:57Speaker 1: to destroy. The dark haired Guy's like, if you withdraw
- 28:01Speaker 1: and are sent home, it won't matter how difficult the
- 28:03Speaker 1: mission is to complete. We see inside the hangar, like
- 28:06Speaker 1: in front of where Shin is, Corina and Theo like
- 28:08Speaker 1: carrying some boxes. Fido beeps at them and they kind
- 28:12Speaker 1: of look back at him like real confused, and Chin says,
- 28:15Speaker 1: if we can't defeat the Morpho, we'll die anyway. Retreating
- 28:18Speaker 1: today to only die tomorrow is meaningless. The dark haired
- 28:21Speaker 1: guy and the other dudes in the car are looking
- 28:23Speaker 1: out over some like destruction of maybe a city, and
- 28:26Speaker 1: he says, I see, very well, that's all for me.
- 28:31Speaker 1: Shitn's pretty distracted at the moment because he's looking back
- 28:33Speaker 1: at the rest of Spearhead that are all standing around
- 28:35Speaker 1: Fido is Fido like shakes and sweats, and the dark
- 28:39Speaker 1: haired guy's like any questions, shitn't starts to walk over
- 28:43Speaker 1: to Fido, and he looks pissed and he's like no,
- 28:47Speaker 1: and he shuts off his calm. Fido makes a bunch
- 28:49Speaker 1: of beeps. We now get an aerial shot of some
- 28:52Speaker 1: sort of like circular looking base with like a tower
- 28:55Speaker 1: and stuff and tents and things I don't know, and
- 28:58Speaker 1: it is temporary command post Eastern Cruizbeck City. Oh so
- 29:02Speaker 1: it's like right where they almost got blown up a
- 29:05Speaker 1: little while ago. There are like cars and trucks passing
- 29:08Speaker 1: by on the road next to it. The dark haired
- 29:11Speaker 1: guy looks out of the car at like some dudes
- 29:12Speaker 1: sitting in front of a really fucked up Reagan leaf,
- 29:15Speaker 1: and he kind of smiles and he presses his calm
- 29:18Speaker 1: and he says, they weren't even slightly interested. I guess
- 29:22Speaker 1: their retention is elsewhere. I hate to say it, but
- 29:25Speaker 1: they're gonna die in battle sooner or later. We see
- 29:28Speaker 1: shots of like the base and the tents and some
- 29:30Speaker 1: guys looking really upset, and he continues, they weren't even
- 29:35Speaker 1: worried about you. I'm sad to say. We hear gref say,
- 29:39Speaker 1: of course not. I guess she's fine. Gay. If I
- 29:43Speaker 1: had kids ten years younger worrying about me, I die
- 29:45Speaker 1: of shame. Dark haired guy is out of the car now,
- 29:48Speaker 1: he's walking up some steps and like being saluted, and
- 29:52Speaker 1: Greth is actually there in the foreground, like in front
- 29:55Speaker 1: of him, and she's looking away, so she doesn't know
- 29:57Speaker 1: that he's right there. And he says, I'm sure he
- 30:00Speaker 1: managed to avoid combat, but I'm still impressed you made
- 30:02Speaker 1: it home alive. I see your skills are as sharp
- 30:04Speaker 1: as ever. Spider woman. Greth is looking over at the
- 30:07Speaker 1: smoking city, still not noticing that dark haired guy is
- 30:11Speaker 1: walking up sort of behind her, and dark haired guy
- 30:14Speaker 1: says the black widow who slays the legion. Greath's like,
- 30:18Speaker 1: stop that murderous praying mantis. You know where that name
- 30:21Speaker 1: came from, right, Dark haired Guy's like, of course, I'm
- 30:26Speaker 1: the one who came up with it. There aren't that
- 30:28Speaker 1: many brides who had to wear morning clothes for their
- 30:30Speaker 1: husband's funeral before they got to wear a wedding dress.
- 30:33Speaker 1: Greath's like, you're terrible. Dark haired guy is like walking
- 30:36Speaker 1: over now, and he says the Major General, and I
- 30:39Speaker 1: were ready to annoy you by filling the wedding hall
- 30:41Speaker 1: with roses. He is next to her. Now, this is
- 30:45Speaker 1: what you get for rejecting me, jeets. Greath looks down
- 30:50Speaker 1: and he continues, I don't care about the monsters, but
- 30:53Speaker 1: I don't want to see you crying over them again.
- 30:55Speaker 1: Greath side eyes him back at the hangar with spearhead.
- 30:59Speaker 1: A voice just saying meow meow, meow meow, but like
- 31:03Speaker 1: a voice like not a cat, and everyone is staring
- 31:07Speaker 1: at like this kind of robot container, not Fido, but
- 31:10Speaker 1: like another one that's kind of shaped like that, and
- 31:13Speaker 1: Karina's like a cat, and Theo says, are you stupid?
- 31:17Speaker 1: And the voice is like screaming like meo, meo. Anju
- 31:21Speaker 1: says she's in heat. Shin's like, open it, Fido. Fido
- 31:26Speaker 1: puts his head down and Shin like fucking kicks him,
- 31:30Speaker 1: and Fido perks back up. That's not okasion, Shin's like,
- 31:33Speaker 1: that's in order, open it. Fido nods. Then we hear
- 31:38Speaker 1: a voice say no, Fido, don't open it, but he does.
- 31:41Speaker 1: And Fredrika is there crouched down with her mouth just
- 31:45Speaker 1: hanging open, and everyone just stares at her. You're really
- 31:49Speaker 1: fucking smart, Frederica. She smiles awkwardly and starts to wave,
- 31:54Speaker 1: and THEO slams his hand as a metal container and
- 31:57Speaker 1: he's like, what are you doing? Frederica? G He continues,
- 32:01Speaker 1: why did you follow us? If something happens, you'll die
- 32:04Speaker 1: with us. Frederica cuts him off, because I don't like
- 32:07Speaker 1: the way you think, fools. She jumps down. How long
- 32:10Speaker 1: are you going to keep thinking that you're in District
- 32:12Speaker 1: eighty six where you have to die? Even aren't told
- 32:15Speaker 1: you to come back? That's your task right now. There's
- 32:18Speaker 1: a pause. I'm a hostage, not to keep you from
- 32:22Speaker 1: running from the battlefield, but to keep you from running
- 32:24Speaker 1: from your duty to come home alive. Even you wouldn't
- 32:27Speaker 1: want to frail little girl like me to die with you, right,
- 32:30Speaker 1: She smiles, but kind of an awkward Oh my god,
- 32:32Speaker 1: please let this have worked way. Shin just stares at
- 32:36Speaker 1: her and then sighs and says, right in, if I
- 32:40Speaker 1: told you to take her back, Frederica gasps, right, and
- 32:43Speaker 1: it's like, don't be ridiculous. The only person who could
- 32:46Speaker 1: do that is you. Theo's like, really, I can't get
- 32:49Speaker 1: past all the legion between us and the main force.
- 32:51Speaker 1: Crane is like, want to go with Fido? Then Fido
- 32:54Speaker 1: kind of jumps and Anju says, I can't see that
- 32:57Speaker 1: working right in size fine, I'll take her. She won't
- 33:02Speaker 1: fit in anyone else's but mine, right? Does he have
- 33:04Speaker 1: a bigger one? Shin's like, thank you. Frederica is still
- 33:09Speaker 1: kind of terrified, smiling righton, says, never do this again.
- 33:14Speaker 1: Frederica gasps, sort of writing, continues, you didn't have to
- 33:18Speaker 1: do this. We're not gonna die. Frederica lowers her head. Okay,
- 33:23Speaker 1: I'm sorry, and she's like, okay, let's see lunch. They
- 33:27Speaker 1: all start to walk towards the hangar except for Frederica
- 33:30Speaker 1: and Shin, and Theo's like, yeah, we were getting it
- 33:34Speaker 1: ready just now. Karina's like, we'll need to make another.
- 33:38Speaker 1: Shin says Frederica. Frederica looks confused. Shin tosses her something
- 33:44Speaker 1: like heavy and she catches it, and he says, you
- 33:48Speaker 1: know how to use it right. Frederica gasps, we still
- 33:50Speaker 1: can't see what she's holding, but she is like wide
- 33:53Speaker 1: eyed about it, and Shin continues, if we get wiped
- 33:56Speaker 1: out and you can't meet up with the main army.
- 33:58Speaker 1: It's Shin's pistol. Use it on yourself, Shin, She's ten.
- 34:05Speaker 1: Everyone else looks back at this like yeah, and Frederica says,
- 34:10Speaker 1: are you sure this gun is the one you used
- 34:13Speaker 1: on Eugene your comrades. Shin's like I told you to
- 34:17Speaker 1: close your eyes. Fredrika says, fool, I saw your memories.
- 34:21Speaker 1: Shin looks like slightly hurt maybe, And Frederica says, you
- 34:27Speaker 1: carry them all those kind of paws and she sighs.
- 34:31Speaker 1: It's too heavy for a frail little girl like me.
- 34:33Speaker 1: I'm giving it right back to you when you get
- 34:35Speaker 1: back to the base, so make sure you come for me.
- 34:38Speaker 1: We cut too empty lunch trays in a box and
- 34:42Speaker 1: it is ten hours, twenty nine minutes, and fifty eight
- 34:45Speaker 1: seconds since the mission has started. I let me go
- 34:48Speaker 1: the ending theme, which is first super close up on
- 34:52Speaker 1: Morpho's face it's orange with like a dark blue eye,
- 34:56Speaker 1: and then close up on another Mac's face. Maybe it's
- 34:59Speaker 1: a I'm not really sure what this one is, but
- 35:02Speaker 1: same color scheme, and then we get the next episode
- 35:04Speaker 1: title card together onto death. Yeay, that sounds fine, and
- 35:10Speaker 1: that's it, yay. Closing thoughts. Yeah, that was an episode,
- 35:15Speaker 1: so there's things I liked about it and things I didn't. Obviously,
- 35:19Speaker 1: as I said earlier, I'm starting to feel the production
- 35:22Speaker 1: fall apart a little bit. But what I did want
- 35:26Speaker 1: to talk about is the whole thing with Kitty and
- 35:30Speaker 1: No Face. So like, it's interesting because Shin is only
- 35:36Speaker 1: hearing like Kitty's like last words or thoughts kind of,
- 35:40Speaker 1: but it seems like that's not all that's really going
- 35:42Speaker 1: on there, So I don't know if it's like their talk,
- 35:46Speaker 1: like the talk between Pale Writer and No Face is
- 35:49Speaker 1: some somehow like encrypted so no one else can hear it,
- 35:53Speaker 1: or maybe it's kind of in a language that isn't
- 35:56Speaker 1: really understandable to humans, and really the only part that
- 36:00Speaker 1: are lefts that a human can understand are those kind
- 36:03Speaker 1: of like just before death thoughts. I'm not really sure,
- 36:07Speaker 1: but it's really interesting to see that they have like
- 36:10Speaker 1: a whole like plan and shit, And we knew that
- 36:12Speaker 1: right because we know that whoever these people are, I mean,
- 36:15Speaker 1: we have Kitty and then we have this no faced
- 36:17Speaker 1: person who is obviously probably a person. We know that
- 36:22Speaker 1: they're communicating effectively, not just in I'll kill youse or
- 36:26Speaker 1: I want to go homes. But this is the first
- 36:29Speaker 1: time we're kind of seeing it, so it's pretty cool.
- 36:32Speaker 1: It's pretty cool how kind of thorough it is. I mean,
- 36:35Speaker 1: obviously we're using the brains of people to do this,
- 36:38Speaker 1: which was really messed up. But yeah, I don't know.
- 36:42Speaker 1: I just thought it was really interesting, and I thought
- 36:43Speaker 1: it was really interesting that Kitty was basically shut down
- 36:48Speaker 1: at the end, like he was trying to revolt, and
- 36:51Speaker 1: it seems like they were able to just kind of
- 36:54Speaker 1: reboot him to a non freaking out version of himself,
- 36:58Speaker 1: which is scary. Not only that he was freaking out,
- 37:02Speaker 1: which wasn't that scary. He's just really stressed out, but
- 37:04Speaker 1: the idea that like he's totally being controlled and manipulated,
- 37:09Speaker 1: it's pretty scary. Yeah, So I don't know, it's interesting.
- 37:13Speaker 1: I also thought it was really weird though, the decision
- 37:15Speaker 1: to remove him after they'd been trying to kill everyone
- 37:20Speaker 1: and we know based on what you know, No Face
- 37:23Speaker 1: was saying that Baylager, which I guess is Shin, was
- 37:27Speaker 1: the target. They wanted to make sure he's not alive
- 37:29Speaker 1: anymore because they know that he can hear them, so
- 37:33Speaker 1: he's a threat so it was just weird that like
- 37:38Speaker 1: they thought he was dead and it was like yay,
- 37:40Speaker 1: but then when he wasn't dead, then no face was like, eh,
- 37:44Speaker 1: I guess we don't want to really like destroy him.
- 37:47Speaker 1: It's like, well, you destroyed an entire section of the city,
- 37:50Speaker 1: so he would have been destroyed then too. So I
- 37:52Speaker 1: don't know why the plan just changed there. I don't
- 37:56Speaker 1: know if it's like kind of a weird we don't
- 37:58Speaker 1: want to rush getting to the climax of this, and
- 38:01Speaker 1: I don't mean from the anime, I mean from the
- 38:03Speaker 1: light novel, or if it's like a weird reasoning flaw
- 38:06Speaker 1: that they were having because they were kind of machines
- 38:09Speaker 1: and they're kind of fucked up. Because I just don't
- 38:12Speaker 1: know why the idea would shift so much so quickly.
- 38:15Speaker 1: I mean, I know that they want Shin's brain probably
- 38:20Speaker 1: and that's why they don't want to destroy him, But
- 38:22Speaker 1: I don't know why it was okay to destroy him
- 38:23Speaker 1: like five minutes ago, That's what I'm saying. So yeah,
- 38:26Speaker 1: not sure about that, but in general, pretty cool to
- 38:29Speaker 1: see them interact. Besides that, the other thing I really
- 38:34Speaker 1: wanted to talk about is the very ending part of
- 38:37Speaker 1: the episode where Shin gives Frederica his gun. I yeah,
- 38:42Speaker 1: it's really fucked up obviously, to give a ten year
- 38:45Speaker 1: old a gun and say like, you gotta kill yourself
- 38:47Speaker 1: if it comes down to it, and for her to
- 38:49Speaker 1: be like okay, or really you're giving this to me.
- 38:53Speaker 1: But I kind of think it was the kindest thing
- 38:56Speaker 1: Shin could do for her. I mean, if she wasn't
- 38:59Speaker 1: going to be near him where he could protect her,
- 39:03Speaker 1: the kind of kindest thing would be to give for
- 39:05Speaker 1: the means to end her own life, which is really
- 39:07Speaker 1: fucked up, but it shows how kind Shin is. Sort of,
- 39:12Speaker 1: it's all really fucked up guys, like it's only kind
- 39:15Speaker 1: in this circumstance. But yeah, it's just kind of interesting.
- 39:22Speaker 1: So hopefully this isn't like a death flag for Riydon,
- 39:26Speaker 1: who sounds like he's gonna go off on his own
- 39:28Speaker 1: with Frederica, which sounds like a really bad idea. Actually. Also,
- 39:32Speaker 1: I still don't get it, like his regul leaps bigger.
- 39:34Speaker 1: No one has ever said that, so I don't I
- 39:36Speaker 1: don't know, but yeah, it'll be interesting to see how
- 39:39Speaker 1: things resolve because they're still heading towards the Morpho, which
- 39:43Speaker 1: actually thought the bait and switch there was really cool
- 39:45Speaker 1: that they like had them go to a fucked up
- 39:48Speaker 1: Morpho and they kind of like did a thing where
- 39:51Speaker 1: like the regular ones in sleep mode so they can't
- 39:53Speaker 1: tell it's there or Shin can't tell it's there. I
- 39:56Speaker 1: thought that was really smart of them. And I don't
- 39:59Speaker 1: really know how and everyone else can defeat this giant
- 40:03Speaker 1: monstrosity on their own that has a rail gun, but
- 40:07Speaker 1: hopefully they can, because otherwise everyone will just die. Literally,
- 40:11Speaker 1: everyone in the world will just die if they can't
- 40:14Speaker 1: defeat the Morpho or Kiti. So yeah, I guess we'll
- 40:19Speaker 1: see in the next episode. Besides that, there were just
- 40:22Speaker 1: a lot of problems in the beginning, especially with just
- 40:25Speaker 1: animation direction, And this is probably the only episode that
- 40:28Speaker 1: this actually, at least so far, like affected my enjoyment
- 40:32Speaker 1: because I really couldn't tell what was going on at
- 40:35Speaker 1: some points, or things were so close up that I
- 40:37Speaker 1: was like, we just didn't have time to do a
- 40:38Speaker 1: whole model or like what's going on? So yeah, that
- 40:44Speaker 1: but that's really all I got. Yeah, I guess, I
- 40:49Speaker 1: don't know. I don't really think there was anything else.
- 40:51Speaker 1: I hope not. Oh, and I just want to say
- 40:53Speaker 1: this one more time. Ernest is so fucking cool. I mean,
- 40:58Speaker 1: he's an idealist to the core, maybe dangerously so, because
- 41:02Speaker 1: we don't want the whole federacy to go down because
- 41:07Speaker 1: it can't hold up to its ideals exactly right, Like
- 41:11Speaker 1: it's a little extreme to be like, well, then I
- 41:13Speaker 1: guess we're all just fucking going down because we're not
- 41:15Speaker 1: gonna do that again. I don't know if that's the
- 41:17Speaker 1: right thing to do either, but I like, really really
- 41:20Speaker 1: appreciate his commitment to what he believes in. And yeah,
- 41:26Speaker 1: I don't know. So I'm gonna go and put my
- 41:29Speaker 1: air on because I'm really really hot, and I hope
- 41:32Speaker 1: you have like a really good whatever, and I'll see
- 41:37Speaker 1: it next week, barring, you know, some sort of natural
- 41:40Speaker 1: or man made disaster later webs
