I get your point, sort of...but why can't it be both?
The mask comes off due to damage, but something else activates and counts as the "power-up" you're speaking about. Especially since the RD isn't going to describe exactly what happens during the second episode in detail. |

My prediction for OVA 2 story:
-W0 ordered to act as diversion -Leila makes a plan to attack the city, she will sortie along them and drop using the gliders -Shin's knighting and ball -Japanese team development in the castle -Jean orders Asura to bait the Wyvern team in the city battle -City combat: The Asura team's mission is to gauge the W0's unit prowess, Akito fights Asura to a standstill, nobody dies. Asura retreats -Shin uses the info to plan an attack on the W0's castle, knows Akito is alive -Leila goes meet C.C in the night before Shin's attack so she hurries back to the battlefield in the bike -Shin uses long range bombardment to attack the forest/castle to lure W0 out. They inflict heavy damage to the W0 unit -Forest combat: no idea what will happen(not enough footage) but Shin and Jean sortie after awhile, -Akito VS Shin round 1: flashback, Face Mask Off Powerup but Akito is seriously in injured after his Alexander is totalled. -Ayano confronts Leila -END Suzaku seems to be guarding something coming by train, a KMF(Vercingetorix?) perhaps, delivers it to Shin? For OVA 3 I think Akito will be out of the picture for most of the OVA and only comeback to battle Suzaku at the end. Expect spoiler on the 8/31 premier Last edited by gordol; 2013-08-24 at 14:01. |

You're exaggerating, but then again I care about the robots, not the background city. And nobody can claim the robots are "PS1 era" with a straight face.
They can certainly create more detailed city backgrounds, going by the first episode, so this strikes me as a conscious choice or a compromise to avoid further delays. If the price of having a more complicated battle this time with multiple Alexanders jumping around is to simplify the backgrounds a little, I'm all for that approach. Thanks for the picture though. I guess it's good they're not really spoiling the important parts of the fight in the CM yet. |

I don't get why people get into conniptions about the CG in the OVA. tbfh the action looks a lot better than it did in the series.
I really do hope that Leila becomes a legitimate champion of Democracy and Republicanism though, and is given examples of the EU's government actually working instead of just being like the EF circa Zeta era. |

In a way, the E.U. is sort of trapped by the fact it's included in a story about the final years of a superpower. There should be parts of the government that still work well, or which people are sincerely trying to make them work, but others should suffer from corruption and other problems, which directly or indirectly contributed to the fall. |

Leila seems fairly skeptical though. I assume she'll try to keep it up, provided the story doesn't push her too hard towards a position of disillusion with the government. |

The explanation for interning the Japanese, which I must have missed, strikes me as nonsensical. Why would Britannia retaliate for the EU repatriating those refugees? I thought the reason was they were locked in the refugee zones is because native Europeans didn't want the Japanese leeching off their welfare or looking for handouts. Also I really don't like that they chose 'Europia' as the country's name. Europe would've been fine, as well as Europa, as that's Europe in Latin. I really hope the dub changes it to either of those. |

Some mildly interesting trivia I just found out is that Manfredi and Shin were actually talking in Turkey, specifically in Dolmabahçe Palace.

There's also the historical fact that Japan quickly surrendered and has been a Britannian possession for almost a decade. The original series did point out the existence of many collaborationist individuals and "Honorary Britannians" like Suzaku Kururugi, so it's not out of the question that some Japanese would be suspected of harboring such sympathies. Add to that the various terrorists, resistance groups and criminal gangs like Ryo and his friends. If you take a step back and look at all this, it's not hard to see the kind of nonsense opportunistic politicians could come up with in order to justify such a move. Quote:
