Galilei Donna

Kazuki is suffering from Middle Child Syndrome in full force, definitely. The fact that she seems to be the less "gifted" of the sisters probably has been eating at her for a long time, especially when compared to how amazing their youngest has been so far (note how she keeps on muttering about the smell of oil reminding her of Hozuki).

Hm:

• Ho: God tier engineer
• Ka: Capable martial artist
• Ha: Decent at talking to people?

While Hazuki's been mentioned to be a rather lousy law student, she's at least driven with a very clear sense of righteousness (ahaha). Kazuki? Aside from knowing martial arts, she's likely average in academics, and as the middle child, also compared to both her siblings, favorably or unfavorably. The fact that Hozuki's such a bright bulb makes things worse, methinks.

Yeah, I detect more than a few hints of Middle Child Syndrome in Kazuki.

Cicinho's motivation for finding Galileo's Inheritance - pissing off Roberto and the Andimoon Company for being a bunch of hyena bastards - only further convinces me that he'll inevitably team up with the girls. Only Cicinho is allowed to troll flirt with defeat Bambina!

Episode 3. In which it smells like oil.

"Oh, that grand inheritance I'm supposed to get that speaks of untold riches? Well, good luck with that." May be a little bit paraphrased.

Can I peg Hazuki's alignment as Chaotic Lawful? Pretty please?

"Do you have any food? Preferably for human consumption?" "Preferably", she says.

"What's the closest city?" That question should have a more or less immediate response from an AI. Safe, on the other hand, may be a little more complicated.

"Maybe if you said something almost totally unrelated it could give us a hint?" Nah, that could only happen in anime. And other media.

If the oldest sister is The Heart, she's usually also Team Mom. This doesn't seem to be the case here, at least so far.

So much bitching in this episode. Kazuki get your shit together or you'll end up the Scrrapy of this show.

Hozuki is amazingly gifted and pretty much carries the whole thing on her own. She just wants her familly to come together again.

Hazuki sure has lots of justice in her heart.

Cicinho is great. How can you to love this guy?

It's funny how cartoonishly evil the bad guys are. Nex episode Origami dude will kick some puppies!

Anyway, pretty good episode.

In case no one noticed it, the paper cranes are an euphemism: the girl(s) are in the side of goldfish, while the 'guy' is the crane. Cranes eat fishes. Guess how that ties into the plot.

So your saying he has a giant crane mech? That will gradually come up behind them? That would be cool.

I agree about Kazuki. She was getting pretty annoying as it was. I mean, it was pretty blatantly obvious that just giving them what they want would NOT mean they leave you alone and let you go back to high school You don't need to be Hozuki to figure that one out.

Cicinho was the air pirate, right? Hope they team up with air pirate boy. If nothing else, his chemistry with Hazuki is hilarious

I can't decide if Anna is The Mole or is just the required "you need to have someone with some idea about the plot" person. Kinda feels like the first one.

Call him Slimy. That's what Bambi did.

Anna feels like the apparently helpful person in a Dan Brown novel who turns out to be the Big Bad.

Again, it still feels like Brown with mecha. This is not a bad thing, at least, not yet.

Yeah, I like the whole aspect of this sort of Renaissance-punk Dan Brown anime With Mecha. If anything it's unique.

And yeah it's looking like the crew of the goldfish might end up teaming up with slimy air pirate guy. I dunno if I am in favor or against, he does seem like a pretty amusing character.

Anna is incredibly suspicious, but enough so that I'm not sure if she's an intentional Red Herring

She did mention how she was targeted before yet she was able to survive and escape. It does beg the question whether she was making it up or she has more resources than she's letting on.

I think it was made PRETTY clear anyone looking for Tesoro is immediately an enemy of Adnimoon

Anna is a robot built by Galileo to help his decedents find his inheritance.

I actually LIKE that idea. At least it won't be a snowclone of Dan Brown works that way.

So she's actually R. Anna? That would be kinda cool. Her hair could shoot missiles or something.

Yeah, there's that and also her completely unjustified resentment towards Hozuki.

Episode 3:

• Good news, everyone! Both parents are alive! What a reli-Sylvia has amnesia? Well, that bites.
• Everyone continues to be awesome. Well, everyone but Kazuki. I get that she feels too normal when compared to Hozuki, but does she really need to be super ticked at Hozuki for circumstances that were beyond her control?
• They're fugitives now. Getting necessities just got difficult. Well, Anna could get them while they stayed in the shadows...
• Hey, it's sky pirate dude! At this point, I'm not sure if he's friend or foe, but I honestly feel better if he got the Galileo Tesoro over Roberto and that nefarious corporation, Adni Moon. Using sky pirates as scapegoats is not cool.

How obvious that Adnimoon was the one attacking those methane hydrate sites.

Oh man, Kazuki.

Nice mecha action, courtesy of the friendly neighborhood air pirate.

Kazuki at least begins to redeem herself!

Hozuki's fall was kinda...brutal, like, holy crap. That looked hella painful and I certainly wasn't expecting that. Hopefully everything is all right...but then, this episode set things up for Kazuki to kinda replace her as the pilot in the future...

I was kinda hoping for a minute that the goldfish would transform into a mecha proper but hey, Assault Goldfish is still rad.

Kozuki stops bitching and does something useful for a change. About time too, if this went on for longer her image might have been irrecoverably damaged.

It's pretty funny how amazing Hozuki is.

"Helping others is my justice!" I like that Hazuki is serious about that whole "justice" thing and not just all talk.

I think this episode was better than the others in terms of showing the relations between the girls. Hozuki and Hazuki at least seem to be pretty close.

Cicinho continues to be awesome. Really respectable enemy. And lol his crush on "Bambina" gets more obvious with each episode. His face lights up like a light bulb when he mentions her.

It seems we have a mole people!

Good episode. I love this series. Definitely this season most pleasant surprise.

Episode 4. Which has a very predictable and cookie-cutter plot.

Microdot information.

Suspicious...

They were looking for someone who had been around since before it was built, and they don't think to ask the hobo they met? Hobos are always (almost) good sources of information.

I wonder why no one thinks of doing what she did with the elevators, and then stopping to go back down instead. Though I suppose it depends on if the elevators are visible from the stairs or not...

That jump was rather impressive for a lawyer-wannabe.

That was quite the fall.

I kinda wonder why he took so long time accepting to help them. I mean, sure, he failed before and got fed up with everything, but denying aid to someone else who risk suffering the same is rather heartless, which isn't how he was portrayed.

I started laughing when Bambi said she wanted to politely speak with the captain of the offending ship. Well, she didn't use as many words, but I'm sure that's what she meant.

Using Razor Floss with a flying goldfish is one use I'm not sure I've seen. I'm sure it's been used by some kind of mecha, though.

Aww, he really does care.

I'm rather sure he really could've found something better than that for his purposes. Must be a parody.

Kazuki evoled from being a full-on grump to a tsundere.

You know, despite the extreme lack of plot originality, I found it enjoyable nonetheless.

Kind of rushed, but I don't think this episode's plot is one I wanted to see more of, so...

Also, is Anna a mole for Adni Moon or someone else?

I like Hazuki's elevator trick. She's also surprisingly athletic. It's like she's done this before or something.

Well, Kazuki is a bet less annoying. It's progress.

Assault Mode! The avatar pulling out an assault rifle is adorable however. He also seems to see something about anna being a mole. But didn't tell anyone. Yet
