@wjs018 so this really is post-reset Serial Experiments Lalah! so are the gqux characters "real" or just part of a dream? I don't want them to be wiped out at the end, or trapped in a loop... If their world is going to be destroyed, maybe they can be sent somewhere else with a zeknova? Part of me wonders if the gundam at the end is from a world Lalah made for Amuro. Maybe she made one for him and one for Char to keep them separate. I don't know where they're going with this... we'll have to wait and see.
@wjs018 this was a cool episode, I am pleasantly surprised that Amuro doesn't seem to be relevant here. I thought they might try to shove him in but I don't think there's time for that. I am glad the show is still mostly focused on the new characters.
More thoughts:
what would happen if the two Lalahs meet? would that cause some kind of zeknova or are they just like psychic twins?
who or what is Shuji, Shirouzu and their connection to the Red Gundam and Char?
will Garma win by doing nothing? he and Kycilia are the last Zabis left and Kycilia is probably going to get bazooka'd again...
Nyaan will probably be mad at whoever kills Kycilia...
the flashback scene with Challia Bull was cool. someone/something has been interfering with this world for a while now...
if Machu and/or Nyaan kill each other or otherwise die and then it cuts to the ending of them singing and dancing I will laugh really hard... I'd like to think there will be a happy ending but who knows...
@Unboxious I've read the manga and watched most of the anime (not the last 2 parts.) I know they were roommates and all but it didn't seem like they ever let their guard down around the other. But then again people will ship characters just for standing next to each other so I guess I shouldn't try to find logic in it.
@MelodiousFunk I don't understand charma, I think Garma's death was one of the only things that made Char truly happy lol.
The rose "awakened" somehow so I am not sure what triggered that... maybe it's something in the Gqux? Since it seemed to wake up and help Machu. I don't know if we ahould assume it's a person though it might be.
@Unboxious there was something in the next episode preview about a plan "for just the two of us" and Nyaan and Shuji were hugging, so it seemed like a good-bye hug. That was my impression, we'll have to wait and see.
@wjs018 I feel bad for Nyaan, she didn't deserve to get yelled at by Machu, and I'm worried she'll die or get left behind in space when Machu and Shuji go to Earth. That said, I still like Machu.
I think Machu might kill Deux in the next episode. I'm surprised Zeta characters showed up. Also wondering if Degwin is still alive in this world or not.
@StarvingMartist there's a short stop-motion anime called My Little Goat that's very visceral-looking and gross, it's about a wolf trying to eat goat kids and I think it's meant as a metaphor for csa? I don't remember it super well because I only watched it once and that was more than enough for me... I don't know what you consider "scary" but it was super disturbing.
Funny thing is, the guy who made it later made Pui Pui Molcar.
@Walican132 I only watched like 5 eps of this one, I liked Mashymre but that was it. I heard it gets better halfway through but I don't have that kind of patience.
@SonofaBixcuit thanks for reminding me this song exists!
