Hurray, the stream was stable (no intempestive buffering and hangups) this time around! (well, sorta) My life is now fulfilled!
Spoiler for ep.17 second half:
- Guess who's snapped again? Yeah, the one who does or does not carry the Y chromosome.
- Flein gets extremely close to the Star Rose but zips downwards, straight to Earth.
- Oh, I got smth wrong in the first half: Ange is sent to the battlefront, while the Rabbits are heading towards the Garantseere Academy
- Rabbits (Izuru, Tamaki, Asagi) use Rose 3 as a waverider to reenter the atmosphere, and chase after Flein who's also gunning straight for the Academy.
- The two groups meet and hostilities break out.
- Another manga character cameo! (riding on a bus of evacuating students)
I spoke too soon...my stream started hanging up and buffering...AGAIN. T_T
There is no God in this world...
Oh, revived!
- Students (yep, the manga characters appear to have speaking parts in this ep) identify the Fail Five with their binoculars and start cheering them on.
- Ataru (who stayed in space with Kei) deploys some sort of humongous weapon that replaces his right arm cannon. Looks like a bigass orbital cannon.
- Izuru kickslams Flein into the ground, while Ataru tries to get a lock on Flein.
- Finally immobilized on the ground, Flein is a sitting duck for Ataru's orbital particle shot.
- Uh...guess who's still alive and largely intact?
- ED (the normal one) rolls in. Darn those cliffhangers.
Next ep preview:
EDIT: btw, for those who have an interest in the Majestic Prince manga, the latest chapter (ch.23) shows the ASHMB demonstration (the event where Tamaki almost breaks the sound barrier above the Academy) from the students' point of view and ends with the bus salute scene.
