Neon Alley will probably be fine. Keep in mind that people into most Japanese games were essentially forced to pick Sony, meaning an overlapping market, on top of all the people who bought it for a cheap blu-ray player and the incoming price drop to $99.
Plus they're now the only place to get new dubbed episodes of Naruto Shippuden.

Heh, the eels.
Re: episode 18 Yeah, I friggin' love this show. Muginami kicking ass outside her mecha, the three guys kicking ass, Yurikano kicking ass, everyone kicking ass somehow. Except Madoka who at least gets to clear up things with her monologue.
The plot kinda moved too fast and it all seems random but it barely hampered my enjoyment.
Thanks everyone *finishes updating trope page*.
The Paragon of Eternity
New episode!
"We vow never to use the Vox again!" no Madoka because you see there's five episodes left and there's important shit to be done.
said important shit likely being...correct WMG! There is indeed a fourth Vox! And Asteria has to do with it! almost forgot about her plot importance!
oh. and you know...they are totally going to use the Vox again...does that signify Madoka will indeed graduate the Jersey Club? NO I KNOW WHAT THAT IMPLIES AND NOOOOOOOOO
YAY. THE ENDING IS AWESOME AGAIN.

Why do you fight? Why do you exist?
It's possible there's more than three Voxes, or Vox like thing given that Le Garite was said to be in possession of a Vox core
Incidentally, the next ep preview was hilarious. I presume they were talking about the OVA/Hybrid Disc.

Which might mean the next enemies are eviiiil Voxes.
The next ep preview was indeed hilarious.
And finally we learn what was up with Asteria's mark.
The Paragon of Eternity
It appears I made a flagrant error in judgment and forgot all about Moid in general being ALL THE SUSPICIOUS. I spy with my little eye the culminating Big Bad...
Though I guess that was a bit lampshaded in the previous episode where he made a comment at Pharos and Tadokoro was just like "true...WAIT WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE".
In any case. Final Conflict GO!
Why do you fight? Why do you exist?
Total Filler until the ending. Oddly, this isn't a bad thing.
In English dub, Villagulio is Johan.

Has anyone read the Manga? It's a Prequel, starring Those Three Guys and Princess Yurikano at the De Metorio Military Academy.
Anyway, don't expect much more from me until I've caught up — I've just watched Episode 10.
Keep Rolling On
I did not know it existed. I'll be looking at it now.
There also seems to be the expected manga adaptation of the anime - at least according to Baka-Updates.

I don't think more than one chapter was scanlated.
Apparently, chapters 2 and 3 were scanlated a couple of days ago.
From my research, there are only two collected volumes of the Prequel/Spin-Off manga...and the google translated description on amazon.com suggests the second volume was released for the second season of the anime. Also, the other wiki says it began serialization before the anime began. Weird.

I'm planning on reading the prequels after the anime ends.
Anyway, on to the episode itself: filler. But adorable filler, especially since we see a girl that, amazingly, is clumsier than Lan! Must be awkward to be part of a group comprised solely of hypercompetent people. Anyway, Reiko, I hope you manage to invent your very own Vox! Maybe you'll even manage to repeat the tragedy of 20,000 years ago! 
Array seems to be planning on leaving. That makes me somewhat sad.
Oh and Moid is eviiiil. What a tweeest.
The Paragon of Eternity
Damn, I feel bad for Madoka all over again. Like...it really, really feels like all that cheery optimism is really fragile and not well supported, cause...she centers EVERYTHING on Lan and Mugi. and now they're gonna go away... And she really just has no idea in the slightest what to do after everything's done which really, really gives me the impression of a Heroic Sacrifice in sight...
Gotta love the scene where it's all BYE KIRIUS AND ARRAY, WE'LL MISS YOU and in a bittersweet departure, out warps their spaceship... And in warps the Le Garite armada in a rather well-executed OH SHIT mood shift.
And the end is in sight...everything's hitting the fan, it's almost over, asdf

Why do you fight? Why do you exist?
Agreed so much. It was a bittersweet episode all around. I'm gonna miss Array and Kirius, and I'm dreading the moment Madoka finds out what Lan and Muginami plan for their future... but at least the going-away party went well and Madoka's happy for now. Plus Izo got confessed to! XD Awesomesauce.
Yeah, the Mood Whiplash was fantastic. I actually said Oh, Crap! out loud.
Lastly, dammit, Dizelmine!
Actually, considering what we know about Dizeldouchebag, I'm sincerely hoping Lan, at least, changes her mind.
Oh boy! A new episode of space lesbians-
Wh...what?
WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK DIZEL NO
SPACE KOTETSU? SPAAAAAACEE KOTETSUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!
WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH

Oh my indeed. Dizelmine's gone a bit off the deep end. And he summoned grape Jello to engulf the planet.
Why do you fight? Why do you exist?
So Grape Jello is to this series what Orange Tang is to Evangelion?
Where's next week when you need it?
PM box is always open.
EVERYONE GETS HUGGED AND BECOMES GRAPE JELLO
I miss not-kotetsu...;__;

Anyway, just watched Ep.19 today and all being well, I should reach Ep.22 on Wednesday. Right now, Lan is my favourite of the girls — I understand where she's coming from. Nice bit of potential Loophole Abuse with her second vow, though

Is it okay to non-spoiler now? Good.
Personally I think Dizelmine was played by Moid like a fiddle. Moid obviously has his own stake in Rinne, likely from 20 millenia before, and he likely played on Dizelmine's insecurities to bring everything about.
The big question now is... Why? Why would Moid WANT to reopen the Rinne again, when he likely knows what it did to Earth before?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's much less a plot-hole so much as it is really ill-defined stuff regarding Vox empathic levels and EVERYTHING regarding Yurikano not making a lick of sense.
Also this (mostly because I feel these people are genuinely good reviewers and respect their opinion):
http://www.themanime.org/viewreview.php?id=1476
Yeah, that's a pretty apt summation and was pretty sure it'd be received something like that. I think a bit more of it mostly because lesbians in anime typically equates to being shit and this doesn't with extreme gratefulality. Though I thought the mecha stuff felt even more arbitrary and forced, like it maybe didn't want to do that, but wasn't sure how else to handle the story.
It's unanimously agreed the eel scene was fucking stupid though.
