2. ED: so the Yunoha special is here to stay.... orz oh well, more fast-forwarding action for me.

3. SHUSHU IS A PLOT POINT. XD Btw anyone noticed all the specifically cat stuff Amata bought? If there are no actual cats then why do they have cat food and cat toys and stuff? Wtf is up with Vega and cats, really. ^^;; Shushu is a cat, Yunoha's plushie is a cat, pigs are cats, doesn't anyone notice how all these things don't look even remotely similar? ^^;;

4. Oh, Fudou XDDDDD Oh, Fujiwara Keiji!!

5. Sousei no Aquarion, oh yeah. Btw it was pretty random - last time we had any love in Aquarion it just went berserk and started shooting everywhere. This time it does a multi-dimension punch and manages to KO the enemy. o_O) But why....? Should we even care...? ^^;;

6. Next time: A CHERUBIM, OMG. Has Mykage finally decided to get off his feathery butt? Also, bikinis. I hope Mikono will wear one, too...

You pretty much covered all my points and more, so I'll just comment on a few.

Spoiler for Ep. 16:

1. Opening: I despise what they've done. The visuals distracted me too much to enjoy listening to the song. Everything was fine until they got past the first few seconds of face offs. Something's wrong when an opening has to rely 95% on scenes from the actual anime.

2. ED: Yunoha's VA is not really my pick for singing. Her voice is a bit weak for it. Jin's raindrop near the end is touching though. I prefer it over the new opening too.

3. ShuShu and cats are indeed a mystery. Mikono said she found him/her running from the abductors. Other than that, not much has really been said or done besides a strange comparison of the cats like you mentioned.

4. He's had 12,000 years and what does he do? He grows out his hair and gets a name change.

5. The flashback was nice. It gave a reason to bring back Sousei no Aquarion. I swear I heard some confusion when they heard Sylvia instead of Sylvie. What's the significance in that?

6. Cherubim reappearance is due on some level. It's tiring seeing Kagura horn dog his way to power ups every week.

Mock Battle: You would think they would show Sazanka having the fusion climax from gatai with Cayenne.
