I was speaking relatively. 'Listless and obedient' is still a big step up from 'Humongous Mecha chow'.

What's precedent ever done for us?

The entire thing is such an obviousn sex/rape metaphor it kind of hurts.

Well... yeah. When you've got the Utena writer working for you, I suspect that's something of a given.

Prediction: Wako is going to let Takuto break her seal, possibly in order to provide him with a mid-battle powerup against an especially tough opponent.

C'mon, you know it makes sense.

TV and movie.

Yoji Enokido, who is doing both the series composition, and the script of at least the first six episodes, also composited the Utena anime and wrote the script of most of its episodes. He also did the screenplay for the movie.

Considering how Takashi is shaping up to be Takuto's Evil Counterpart, and "Tau" seems to be its own thing, I'm expecting Takashi's Stage 3 Cybody to be called "Taufrost".

Well, it's not so much a review as much as it it's part "I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS SERIES AND IT IS LOLTASTIC SO FAR" and "Is it just me, or is this Utena WITH GIANT ROBOTS?"

Also, that thing with Takuto doing the Shining Fabulous Finger Sword chant made my day. I MUST FIND THIS MACRO AND SPAM IT EVERYWHERE.

This one definitely felt like a Midnight On The Firing Line episode - not much actually happened, but a lot of things were set in motion.

Also, I lol'd at Wako's fantasy.

Loving this show so far. And yes, it IS Gurren Lagann meets Utena.

Is anybody else getting the impression that the Fish Girl's story is supposed to be deeply symbolic for whatever's going on? Conservation of Narrative Time says yes, but I can't make heads or tails of what it's supposed to mean.

So far it hasn't said anything that wasn't already obvious. Don't worry about it.

Sam = Takuto
His girlfriend = Wako
Squid Emperor = The villains, I guess

Takuto wants to destroy all the evil Cybodies so Wako can leave the island. Sam wants to destroy the Squid Emperor so he and his girlfriend can leave the fish planet.

From the "eating squid" thing, I suspect that Takuto is going to find some way to absorb the power of enemy Cybodies.

I guess it is.

Kind of wonder why the Crux was apparently trying to get Wako and Takuto together. Or maybe they're trying to drive Sugata off?

Maybe they plan to have Takuto to break her seal in some way...?

Well, if, as is strongly implied, the Maidens' powers really do run off Virgin Power, Takuto probably looks like a better option for... seal removal than an Arranged Marriage to Sugata that neither seems particularly interested in.

It seemed more like a strong parallel than actual Virgin Power to me.
