Invasion
What I liked most about the episode was the music which was tense, and it reveals a complex web of relationships between the protagonists and antagonists entangled with each other.
The facts. Spoiler:
Toraji stole the stage. Spoiler:
I thought that the pirates were going to be done for by Steve and his crew but show their resilience to stay alive, and of course, it helped very much that Jo and Jin where on the same boat to work their way out against their former comrades. It surprises me that Jo alone was able to handle knife guy and tarot guy at the same time. Those two are the most ruthless, blood-thirsty members of Phantom, and I was right that all of them know by hand Jin and Jo. Tarot guy holds a rival grudge against Jo, but unlike knife guy, he's able to keep his composure and not letting his bloodlust get the best of him, from what I observed. My twist speculation is that Tarot guy has an obsessive liking for Jo in that he desires to slice and chop off parts of Jo's anatomy. While we haven't seen yet Jin in street fighting, no doubt that he stands on equal ground with Jo piloting the Gladiator. Spoiler:
I pretty know nothing as why Toraji let Jin and Jo go scot-free with Sana, but one thing was made certain that the pirate never treated Sana as a thing but a girl. Spoiler:

Toraji most likely is also keeping an eye and ear on whatever filthy business Drake is scheming to. So, he cannot handle all the burden with the military, Phantom, the Gladiators, the plundering, and Sana all at the same time. Yes, I did understand that Toraji neither trust nor feels particular familiarity towards Jin and Jo, but he acknowledges first-hand that both desire to protect Sana's welfare at all costs. But it's also interesting to bring forward that Toraji not even holds any animosity or grudge towards the two of them. I think he's right now trying to fit all the puzzle pieces revolving around Sana and what Phantom plus the militia covet from Venus. Toraji knows well that Jin is more than capable to handle and decipher the clue that is Sana, henceforth, let them go only to perform that task for him. Lately, I guess Toraji and his crew will return to retrieve Sana right under Jin and Jo's noses. |

Just listened to the latest radio drama... and it seems that the four Phantom psychos (well, two psychos and the rest ) hold an old grudge against Jin and Jou, from the time when they were still in Phantom. Jin and Jou apparently kicked their behinds in a fight. (I don't want to say more, in case it all turns out to be a spoiler or something.)

By chance anyone knows the names of the other three Phantom guys, aside from Steve's?
Reading that post about the radio drama, then my hunch did prove correct after all. Jin and Jou quite managed an excellent job to make enemies out of everyone at Phantom. |

Hmmm I have a question here about KissSubs' subs:
I noticed that for episodes 1 and 2, the XviD versions are larger than the h264 versions. While episodes 3 and 4 are the other way round. IV 01 XviD = 167.3MiB IV 01 h264 = 225.82MiB IV 02 XviD = 167MiB IV 02 h264 = 225.87MiB IV 03 XviD = 225.44MiB IV 03 h264 = 166.97MiB IV 04 XviD = 225.55MiB IV 04 h264 = 166.98MiB Besides filenames, I have no idea how to differentiate XviD and h264 files. Anyone knows why these file sizes have switched? Did they name those files wrongly at some point? Either from the start or after episode 2. Or is there another explanation? Which files are really XviD and which are h264?

As for the latest episode of this series... Quite the bit of action. The graphics and music continue to amaze me too, even the CG. At the onset, it looked as though the Phantom team was unstoppable and that the Ishin ship was as good as sunk. But don't miss Jin's debut in his Gladiator suit . And Toraji and his crew put up quite the fight too. Quote:

Also, I love the ending song for some reason. It's such a nice song. |

I've said it before, but the music, though not upbeat the way I usually enjoy it, really portrays the right moods at the right times and thus makes it very appealing indeed. |

i loved it too, from the very first time i've heard it. other notes: Steve seems to be the most levelheaded of the Phantom crew. kuromitsu, i'm not sure but was that him acting like the sergeant in the dramas? there seems to be something very ominous about the ED picture... i can't quite tell yet. KuroNeko seems to be of the worst subs ever. compared it through submarine lingo. question, what does Oryo mean now? to Toraji anyway.
