You think too small! Jenny's harem is the entire yacht club.

(Since I think it was posted that Jenny was a third-year)

It becomes pretty clear when you look at them in their club uniforms. Go back to the episodes where the yacht club is on the eyecatch at the halfway point, and you can see the clear division by class-year. First-years wear the blue top, second-years wear green, and the only third-year (Jenny) wears pink.

Well even if the Royals are all engineered....what's wrong with natural reproduction like everyone else....or are they all sterile or something...

Myths and Legends can work wonders. And/or there is something special about the Royals that could be lost with breeding.

Afterall, just how many people could claim to be the Moon Princess....(wait that's wrong.)

(Now if the Royals has clones of four females as Royal Guardians...the illusion would be complete.)

Kha - Excuse, me, Meister Babylon.

Do try to control yourself.

That said, looks like Lynn's crush is not unrequited afterall. XD

The Ensign answers, "Captain Marika! My cannon is ready!"

**the Captain looks at him funny**

The Ensign walks out of the bridge and returns, "OK Captain, my rifle is ready!"

**the Captain looks at him funny yet again**

Again, the Ensign walks out of the bridge and returns, "Ok ok, m'am. My pistol is ready!"

**the Captain gets irritated**

Shrugging his shoulders, the Ensign leaves the bridge and returns dejected, "Captain Marika, my pee-shooter is ready..."

Captain Marika replies, "Carry on."

**the Ensign leaves the bridge in tears**

I think she reacted this way because she realized her mission was pointless (since the Rose was already on its last leg) and that she almost killed her sister over nothing.

Goose, that was the only version of "Captain, I'm picking large amounts of win in this sector" applied to the current post I could think of.

It will be another year before we get our hands on the BDs in NA. I'm glad sales are good since the show is actually great.

[chaos_animagic]

Anything with MiniSkirt will be good, LOL...

But the plot is real interesting too. Hahaha...ha.........



Still kinda wished they would have more "miniskirt space pirates"...
BTW, with their current technology... I bet they could easily repair the "Clone Plant", since the "Clone Plant" were made 1000+ years ago... LOL

I wonder how many Japanese natives purchase anime through Amazon though. As I'm not a frequent Amazon consumer, I wouldn't know about its sales.

When I was in Japan from December to February, pre-orders for the first BD was sold out in places like Animate, Toranoana and if I can recall, Anibro/Gamers. I was staying in Akiba at the time so I was able to make daily trips to those stores.

I could be wrong but it seemed to be doing well outside of Amazon orders. Of course now that I'm back in the states, I can't gauge the 2nd volume. Sadly not too long after I left, it's when they start to advertise the series via billboard and banners on the main Akiba strip.

The port side docking bay is around 485 cm high
The main body of the Bentenmaru is around 19 m in diameter
The dorsal engine nacelle is 83 m long by 19 m in diameter
Overall length is around 154 m

For the (inherently flawed) comparison to a present day boat, that puts the Bentenmaru about the size of a Ohio Class SSBN, except with more protrusions and engine nacelles poking out here and there.
...
A pun was intentional.

Based on airlock size, Mass Effect's Normandy SR-2 estimated size is 216 m.

Probably, they don't want to futz with the genetics (especially when you consider just how much old-school Serenity tech seems to be coded to Royal genetics, suggesting that an absolute monarchy wanted to take steps to insure they stayed absolute as long as they wanted to...it's going to be interesting when they have to start adapting that before they run out of royals...).

Well, after watching ep 12 I was kinda surprised. Hmm ... it seemed to me that the storyline came to a "end of the first half of the show" conclusion. I personally found it to be satisfying and enjoyable, but it felt like a combination of "subdued" and "still hiding a lot more to come", so it was a little bit like a teaser to me at the same time.

Still - excellent stuff. Marika makes a great pirate captain!

7.5/10 vote for ep 12 from me.

[Kyuu]

While I would prefer for Marika to remain in space and continue with another mission... I can see why it's necessary to return back to the home planet (and school), in order to keep many of the other characters in the show.
