Okay. To start things off: I find it very strange that, like Magnus pointed, Ranka starts out much more outgoing than what's shown at the later portions of the series. Also, I still strongly dislike how Sheryl acts here (sorry, Magnus, I'm on Cathy's side on this), outside of her professionalism, as shown during her "rescue" - that's always been a high point, for me.
As for the Vajra being manipulated and a good-natured species... Well, I guess you can always use the "they didn't understand individualism" theory, but that doesn't really fly, with me. Still don't like the little (?) bugs. Other than that, I still can't get used to how pretty everything looks. This kind of thing really is what Blu-Ray was made for, I think. Let's see what else you guys bring up!

Yeah, it's 01:00 a.m. here in Germany, I wanted to make sure I was the one starting out the discussion, at least for the first week. My typical luck, of course, that it happens to be the last post on page two. :-/
Anyway, I am going to bed and am going to actively participate in the discussion when I wake up in 9 hours.

One question I always had: How's the detour that Ranka took to the concert hall a shortcut? The whole thing seems to be an artificial construct to get Ranka to meet Alto.

I first want to express how much will power and self control it took, not to watch episode two.
I remember this part! Mmmm....animated GIF worthy. Amazing technology, truly. Lastly, I'm afraid I might be the party pooper here. Sheryl was the first one to leave the stadium, right? Then why is that by the time Ranka is long gone, she is just getting into a limo? Quote:
Well, she didn't know where she was going so she was looking for a shortcut. Just because you look for one, doesn't mean you'll find one, right?

And this bears out in future epi..., er, I mean I wonder if she will get into similar situations in the future.

Nah, I paused and wrote down the notes in a document, then put time-marks to them afterwards, when I noticed that otherwise they appeared too haphazard. Quote:

Still doesn't explain why the the guy besides Alto suddenly lost control and collided with Alto. Delayed awe about the corkscrew?

That was enjoying to re-watch. Some memorable scenes and lots of Sheryl eye-candy.
One thing I noticed about the stage is that it was "segmented" and had a somewhat high altitude yet when the visual effects were off, we could see that the stage floor is whole and it even isn't that high. How could Sheryl fall off such a thing! Also why did they treat Sheryl like a very important princess of some country that if she dies it would start a war. I mean come on, she has guards which are fully equipped for war complete with armored escort vehicles. |

Seeing how her stage suit can emulate and project almost any kind of costume (and looking at the crystal ball: seemingly work independently of the stage), I wonder if Sheryl basically wears that throughout the entire series. And all the outfits (or lack thereof) we see her wearing are all projections.
If so, are some of her outraged scenes an act?

I was wondering if anyone wanted more GIFs of something memorable they would like to keep from this episode 1? Anything is fine.....I think the Sheryl breasts bounce is nicely done unless it should be quicker but then it's no fun.....anything else anyone could think of that would let's say EPIC to do for this episode. Not forcing or anything just trying to get ideas from others.

Might i say, it sure is a great pleasure being able to watch this show again. The first episode does such a bang on job of setting us up for what's to come in terms of story development, along with the little preview of the character interaction. Plus with how damn beautiful the first episode looks (especially the second half), i could rewatch it over and over again.
Unlike BetoJR, i don't truly dislike the attitude Sheryl has, though i don't like it that much. It's understandable that such a strong minded musician would have that type of personality, so i can let it slide. Plus it's a great way to hide just what we'll see of her in just a few episodes. :3 & there we have our first two Yoko Kanno BGM's that were never released on CD . The piece used when the UN Fighters attacks the Vajra, and the next one following straight after with Alto and Ranka's conversation while her clothes are drying. Well it was quite a few people actually. Quote:
Keep up the screenshots guys. Can't take them on the PS3, though i'd love to make a collection. :3
