Voice2: People like this do exist once in a while, don't they. Those that seem to come under the scrutiny of the ages. Those who possess incredibly great, no incredibly bad fortune.

Voice3: Hmmmmm, but with this all the players for this performance have been gathered.

Voice: Yes. This is the true beginning.

Grace: Towards a dream that even the Protoculture, who possessed a five hundred thousand year history, were unable to achieve.

That makes it better. That's an eccentric dream fitting for a super power fleet. I could guess that dream probably has something to do with them transcending gods. It's always like that lol When that Galaxy warship asked help from Frontier, I doubt they were acting though. There was probably some internal conspiracy that transpired inside Galaxy that led to the Vajra attack. Those Vajra definitely didn't just attack them randomly. Anymore speculations here?

Spoiler for more on 15:

Aside from the boring flashback from Grace that I couldn't understand. I totally loved the cute Ranka and Alto glomp scene at the beginning. Alto catching her doing the brat face was priceless lol The episode only picked up when the sing off started. That would've been the most awkward thing for Alto. I feel bad for the guy.

Btw, did I just see Brera in MIB glasses in the preview? His bish meter is going up lol Looking forward to that BreraxRanka scene. Maybe Ranka can finally figure out that they came from the same ship. I've been waiting for this since episode 8.

Speaking of Ranka attack, it "looks" like Sheryl's the one who's going to attack the Alto in his dorm next episode and then probably pass out on a bench on the way back to the hospital or something? I think they're going to push the Saonome and (BreraxRanka=Brenka?) scenes next time. Sounds good for a change.

Sheryl is going to snap once she finds out she's being discarded for Ranka. Her crazed look while Grace was talking to her was disconcerting more than anything.

ED theme:

I liked how she did it in episode 3 way better, but I don't think Ranka's diamond crevasse is THAT bad. If I hadn't heard the May'n version, I wouldn't really see it as lacking. She sounds like singing a very sad song with optimism. Works for me. I bet if Sheryl sings Aimo, people will have problems too (even if it sounds decent) since Ranka's voice fits it better. Out of the 3 singers here though, I still want to hear more from Maaya. =/

Spoiler for silly rantings on technical details:

Why is that supposedly super advanced hospital only base their diagnosis on just blood tests? I don't think the doctors are dumb enough to not notice that there's something wrong with Sheryl's body even if her blood tests are normal. If someone can get away faking their condition in a hospital, that hospital is better off closed. Grace can't always be there to change the blood vials with her tentacle swap and all. Plus, why is Sheryl not wearing a hospital gown like any other patients and can walk around like noone cares? What are those nurses doing? She's going to get even sicker if they don't put any IV in her--especially if she's having fever. If she's sick enough to be admitted on a hospital bed, she needs an IV line stuck through her veins. This is so not realistic enough.

Anyway...Can't wait for the subs.
