(L) Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto

[Stefkov]

I'm not sure about that ending, I wouldn't have thought what people are implying actually happened.
If that actually happened I'm kind of disappointed.

Putting that aside the rest of the episode was quite good. The bbq party was quite funny as was the scene in the karaoke bar.

I just remembered, the animation when Keito was dancing was amazing, it looked really fluid. Animation like that always gets me really excited.

It does seem like a somewhat dark turn to everything, doesn't it? I wasn't really expecting it to come up in the series. If that is what happened.

Spoiler for Ep18:

Still the ending really was "WTF Keito!" Geeze what's the point of bodyguards when they just let people into your room like that . They really are mostly there to keep Sugata from leaving the island. Definitely a lot of sides to Keito shown off though. Not having given up on her dream with all those moves , the Crux side she has, and what happened at the end. Do wonder what her real motivations are for getting involved in this. But as Takuto says "It's a wonder."

At least someone in the Crux is starting to think about how dangerous letting people like Window Star have the freedom of using their Cybodies outside of Zero Time. Who is going to keep a leash on those kinds of people?

Get the constant reminders that Wako still has to make up her mind. Plus a bit of regret with Takuto that he doesn't have that childhood history with Wako like Sugata does.

Kinda shock for last scene in 18.
Good way to earn Libido

[Dahak86]

lol... the karaoke-idol-wannabe-keito scene was very funny.
although, animation was a bit lacking at times...

Spoiler for Tamaya!:

or to quote a poster on 2ch: "it's a karaoke."

also, what's up with her imitating Yumeji from Merry? =>

I have to say, I enjoy when Keito has an embarrassed look on her face though it's only happened here and in episode 10 that I can recall.

[Kanon]

Spoiler for episode 18:

It's a wonder!






Best scene of the episode, no doubt. I must have rewatched it a dozen times already, haha.

It was great to learn more about Keito. She turned out to be a lot more lively than I imagined. And boy, she's got incredibly legs!

Someone a while ago said the maidens should form an idol group after everything is taken care of... I can totally see that happening now

More so, what if this is why Sugata ended up waking up?

Spoiler for episode 18:

That's exactly what I think. The only reason they would need to have her do something like that is to produce a heir... but well, isn't it a bit too soon for that?

[hilly]

I think

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Keito had the seal of keeping cybody and human conscious apart,so her first phase power maybe can separate Sugata with his cybody(maybe if Sugata use the power of the mark will cause him to merge with cybody??)
Wako may also sense time repeat(?dream of maiden?) because she is the one who sustain the Zero time?
But then why at the generation before Sugata didn't use the power of miko to awaken the owner of King 's mark??Maybe there would be some backfire effect on Keito or the seal??
That is maybe why the head wanted Keito to help Sugata but he didn't need to order because Keito herself wants to awake Sugata?

Spoiler for 18:

Maybe it has to do with the fact that Sugata can't actually use Samekh yet? Maybe she gives him libido and that somehow helps repair it to full working order?

We know it was heavily damaged.

First scene

Spoiler for 18.1:

"funny part in fireworks when they start shooting "

Middle scene

Spoiler for 18.2:

"in karaoke keito she was soooo cuuuuuuuuuuute and her dancing too...I'm sorry fishgril u beome now second in my list after listening to keito song! and takuto show up...ROFL i couldn't stop laughing tbh XD "

Last scene

Spoiler for 18.3:

"SERIOUSLY WTF IS THAT !?
what exactly her job !? |"

[ars89]

Spoiler for ep 18:

Good thing Takuto had his room burned because he actually has pj's now.

Best moment was Takuto walking in on Keito singing, i can't stop laughing.

Nice to see some opposition to Window Star if she were let loose.

So Head said that he's not forcing Keito to do whatever job he wants, so that implies that she's doing her mission by choice.

The ending was very unexpected. First i think she only goes to Sugata when he is asleep as stated by his guards. She could be there for several reasons. I think since she's the east maiden she is just doing her duty. I'm think Sugata has no clue about what she does because he's asleep. She might be healing him from using his first phase too much. She might be able to heal or recharge him. I think the guards are the ones that call her, but surprised they don't call Wako. I guess it's because each maiden has different powers.

[nightjade]

if keito did what i think she did does that mean that she's no longer a maiden??
cuz wasn't it implied awile ago that if you have sex your seal is broken???
so now the only one left is wako.
what keito did was a prety dark thing to do. i hope that it does not go any darker then that
cuz if it does wako's in some deep s.h.i.t. lets just hope that it doesn't go the rape route

[SoFarGone]

it seems like no one mention this yet but I thought it was funny when Kanako suggest Takuto to stay at her place and make fireworks. Should stay at her place instead of Sugata's Takuto. I'm sure she wouldn't charge you.

Because it would be the other way round.

[Sprite_Coke]

I could watch that karaoke scene all day every day.

dude, she would totally charge him: PAY WITH YOUR BODY!!!!! much more than he would be able to afford.

gotta say, Keito's song pop version is >>>>>>> all the others.

Since people will keep on bringing it up, lets clarify. Loss of "maidenhood" does not = loss of seal, only maiden status and associated powers, which would be passed on to some relative who probably met some sorta criteria. Therefore she didn't sexxor him up, at least not past 3rd base.

From Jaguar's and Tiger's words, she's obviously doing maidenly ritual duties, like how wako does her purification rituals, naked i might add, at the ocean. While wako's duties seem to be overseeing/maintaining the barrier; Keito's happen to be more tuned to samekh's driver. We can throw out several possibilites: restore libido, protect his soul from demon king, set a barrier so he doesn't go mad, etc. What I'm curious about is why the need to hide it from him.

I was a little surprised at finding out that Madoka's role is voiced by Yukana, while Kou's character is performed by another all-time favorite, Mitsuki Saiga
However, I still think that Kanako, Keito, Midori, Wako, Sarina, and Mizuno are all the most gorgeous ranging from sexy with the first three to cute with the last three.

Now, what can my mind make up about Head's recent course of actions?

Spoiler:

Is he selfish? or maybe he doesn't want to put the rest of his comrades with more jeopardies regarding the use of the Cybodies?

If Head manipulated most course of actions to get the Vanishing Age reaping the most advantages with the powering-up to the Third Phase, then the most sharp section leaders of the Star Crux would begin to doubt and question him, even going far as quitting the Star Crux. Takashi commented that with both the Adult Bank and Professor Green no longer involved in Third-Phase, Vanishing Age right now lacks strongly in both financial and technical support.
The cybercaskets got destroyed because advancing to the Third-Phase results impractical to the activation of Cybodies.

The Third-Phase involves the Star Driver becoming a Galactic Pretty Boy by merging with his or her Cybody, though not strictly literally.

However, Head mentioned after the meeting to his other Vanishing Age peers that disclosing the identity of the South Maiden will come after a certain person fulfills some mission that he intended for that person, and as a way to ensure that undisclosed person's safety.

Wondering if that mission that Head let on has something to do with Sugata.

Sarina should be right next to Kanako

[SolCiel]

Spoiler for ending:

Did that seriously just happen? Did she really...
... I feel slightly creeped out.

[Dark Wing]

Just finished Episode 17 and we get a fairly good amount of info Keido which I expected what i didn't expect was her night job of naked sleep over with Sugata...

However I think many people are jumping to conclusions. Remember when he uses the Kings Pillar Sugata is supposed to go into a coma like state it's obvious that her duty is to help get him out of or even prevent it from happening.
