The anime is definitely dragging out the Mikage arc. Does anyone know how long this series is going to be? If it's 26 episodes, I'm guessing they'll stop at the end of the second arc then.

By the looks of it, they are going to stretch out the fighting and drama, doesn't look like there will be some XYZ filler insert to me. Or at least, will be filler scenes with the main plot going. But yeah, it's still slow. But then again, there is not much manga material to cover the 26? I think, epis.

After my marathon re-viewing of the 7 episodes so far, I think perhaps this is the most entertaining series this season. Yes, even more so than Eden of the East at this point.
What I am even more amazed at is the fact that I care about and immensely enjoy the characters, even though they are largely just stock characters duly delineated into evil/good. Usually, cliche characters drag down a show, but for some reason, the cliche characters in this series have an extra oomph, making them fun. Maybe it's the odd humor? I think making them eat all the weird foods and eyeballs is a nice touch. Actually, I'm very pleasantly surprised at how good this show is -- it certainly has exceeded all my expectations. In addition, I think the animation is first rate. The characters don't blink that much, but at the same time, the animation is candy for the eyes (not as much as Macross Frontier was, but at least the characters have better haircuts in this one). I love the glean and shine they apply to every frame, and hopefully the production values remain at this level throughout the 26 eps. This extra effort is visible in the way the sun shines down on the bright church grounds (thereby establishing the setting succinctly), as well as on the lips, eyes, and cheeks of characters. I also love the color palette, as well as the over-the-top scoring. Overall, everything is just pretty and pleasant to look at. Moreover, the world and story lines created have drawn me in. I also noticed after my rewatch that there's a lot of mythology and details to the show that I missed the first time around. I have questions and comments on some of these, so I'll just wrap it all in spoiler tags just to be safe. Spoiler for Random Musings and Questions on First 7 Eps.:

If there is any stupidity, then it's largely due to writers forcing the plot. What looks stupid from a decision-making standpoint is necessary to further the plot. For example, should he really have taken Mikage as hostage during the escape? Should he not have realized that Mikage would be a suspect, making his life so much harder than that of a fugitive? Of course not -- they should have fallen into the plane and escaped together -- but this is not the plot. But, no, I don't find Teito (I think you mean Teito, not Mikage) annoying. He's just full of angst and unwilling to divulge info because we still have 19 eps. to go, heh. |

They were talking about Mikage.
Well... I like Teito. He's awesome I want to hug him. Mikage is awesome and funny. Yes, maybe slightly annoying, but I don't feel that annoyed by him. Why am I getting Gino vibes from him? Maybe that's why I don't hate hime. I think he's an even better, sexy version of Gino with a few changes here and there. Gino a meh character. Didn't love him, didn't hate him. Ayanami is a bastard for what he did D= Okay, he is kind of awesome and sexy, but if he wasn't so mean I'd probably like more. It's the purple that are attractive. Frau. Lol. Frau is badass. He said my most favorite line. "May the grace of god be with you, asshole!" From Vol. 2, Kapitel. 7 Reincarnation. Frau is awesome and funny. I wouldn't be a fangirl of him, but I have a friend who is. Castor hasn't really made an impression yet. He's okay. Labrador looks cute. And he's funny. Aya's group really hasn't made an impression yet. Kuroyuri is lol. Kind of cute, but not the type I'd fangirl. Also, they're making Ayanami seem stupid in the anime. I expected him to be smart. Nothing more really. Lazette/Razette is cute. I can't remember the nun's names. Oh! Hakuren. Hm...I haven't seen enough to judge yet.

I've been curious about the title of this series and manga for a while now. 07-Ghost, with Ghost being singular, seems to imply something like the 7th Ghost. Hmm, I wonder if it means something like the 7th Ghost - who is a specific person? It seems that Teito holds a great mass of power. Frau, Castor and Labrador seems to hold special powers of their own - powers that I don't see the other Bishops show.

^^Hmmm, I hadn't really thought of the title that much -- but that makes sense. If so, then the 7th Ghost has to be Mikage -- otherwise it wouldn't really make sense for the main character to not be the title character.
Episode 8 -- WOW! XD Spoiler for Ep. 8:
