I never even got around to watching the first Eureka Seven... but I did like it, kinda. What's this new season about? Never heard of Jormungand until now, too...

Anyhoo, I'm watching Legend of Korra at the mo. First episode was tragically bad, but every episode afterward is quickly making up for it.

Pfft, not busy enough.

I keep wondering how I never got around to responding to this earlier, so...

Ah well, looking on the bright side, at least Legend of Korra has begun airing.

Fantasia Arks: The Phasmatis Crisis, an Online Graphic Novel by Sean Danielson/NK, currently on hiatus due to massive "Universe 2.0" overhaul.

I'm a little disappointed by this episode altogether as well. Sophia's return was anti-climatic at best, visually speaking, since her introduction could have benefitted from a close up of her face before panning out to her commanding the Silvana. It's simple art direction at best, so I feel dumbfounded that Gonzo would ignore such an opportunity. Instead it felt like she was just 'put there', just to keep fans happy. Same goes for Vincent and even the Anatoray fleet itself. We 'knew' they would arrive sooner or later, but here it just feels like they were rushed in after noticing the rioters gathering at the main entrance of Gonzo HQ?

I agree, The Russian chick's flare gun tactic was probably the main highlight of the episode. Although this brings an interesting question. Is not claudia consisting purely of water? I was not aware that it was a flammable substance till now. Still a cool moment nonetheless that overshadowed EVERYTHING Fam has done in this entire series. Although that wasn't too hard a feat...

lol, I'll admit I was actually surprised to see Sorush back. Though why am I not surprised at the same time that he made his flag unravel from his ship to indicate that he did perish? And how the heck did he escape everyone's attention unnoticed? Didn't seem like there were any ways he could... unless he managed to sneak his ship through an opened cave after the bridge collasped.

Eh, Fam should never have been a main character. I understand why they wanted her to be so, but she just doesn't have the appeal or capability to pull off special moments that make the audience want to fly by her side. Claus succeeded with that in the first bloody episode of the original series, so one has to wonder what the heck the real main character is doing all this time? Banging Lavie off stage? Would explain why he's asleep in the only scene we've seen of him so far!

The Turan Exile's involvement was anti-climatic at best, too. I blame this on bad scene direction, because it was hard to say what it actually 'did' to be of use. It just seemed like an image prop in the background that sparkled some and that was it. Did it fire an energy blast at the Grand Exile or did the Grand Exile fire a blast at it or... *confused*

Also... is it me... or did Gonzo just rip ideas from Battlestar Galactica's last episode for key moments like the Silvana's sister ship ramming the Colony Grand Exile to retrieve Hera Sara.

Unfortunately, there's a difference between BSG's final moments and LE2's. Guess which one was actually epic and the other not? [link]
