Sakura isn't. Will probably be my 2nd wife.

One day, your life shall end, and by my hand.
By "one day", I mean "very soon".

Okay, it's so wrong to claim Sakura as my wife, but if I don't do that, she will be in a very dangerous situation, so pardon me for doing so.

question

is it me or that

AMAIIIZINGUU part is what i missed on the later episode??

or is it on the new ep not yet subbed

Ep 7. I don't know if it has been subbed or not.

[C.A.]

Do not forget that I am Sakura's brother-in-law, you guys have to get through my approval first. After my approval you'll have to face Mr Blackbelt, then face the ecchi scarf.

And finally Sakura herself must have the inspiration.

Since the subs are taking so long...

Spoiler:

Maybe someone who understood the raw could give a brief summary of what's been said between Leopard/Nerval/the new colony and the sisters at the end in the cable car?

Also, if Leopard has any more of his awesome lines, those would be cool too :P

It's where Neneko runs up to Frio/Julio at the school terminal. After Frio says something about how energetic she is, in the StrikeS one she says "I had a kick-ass bowl movement," and in the ASF one she says, "I have a paranormal feeling."

WTF!?

I'm assuming "paranormal feeling" is correct because she points to her temples with both hands?

Had forgotten to reply to this before, but: the best thing to do in this situation is to go get yesy's version of the episode and check that. (And actually, if you ask me, yesy and StrikeS have better-seeming translations of the three. At the very least, their translations seem to match up better than yesy <-> ASF or StrikeS <-> ASF.) If you absolutely must have 720p, then there's no reason you can't get the yesy-720p releases that have been coming out very soon after yesy releases episodes themselves. (This versus ASF for the fact that yesy seems to be getting their subs out quicker than ASF, at least lately.) Ultimately, however, you'll want to get either Blu-ray rips or teh BDs themselves, as the image quality on those will likely be a lot better than HDTV rips (even non-upscaled ones).

I did like the animation in this ep, though, and Sakura was pretty cute. (Though not as cute as in the previous ep!) (Ep 7's screenshots)

Spoiler:

I don't really agree that subs are taking 'so long' but meh. :P Lessee. I can't be 100% sure since this is from Chinese subs, but the new purple colony (Panther says she's Satchan Cat Megex says she's Xanthippe) is there to pick Nerval up after his defeat (but not elimination). Like Nerval, it seems that she has a different body -- but probably the same voice (so Leopard recognises her). Leopard is obviously upset by this.

Emilio arrives, representing the Shishidou Foundation, to explain the activation of Absolute Breakthrough Control mode.

Meanwhile, Sakura passes the Golden Orb Warmers for Leopard to Akiha. (Yay! No more cold b...I mean, golden orbs!) Akiha has questions for Takane upon seeing her, but her elder sis winks and says, 'I'll tell you about the details when we get back to Kirkwood.'

When the sisters finally meet up again (+associated people), Akiha is told that Nerval is their as well as humankind's enemy, and that the Shishidou group has been given special authority (?) to defeat Nerval. It also seems that it is Akiha and Leopard's destiny to fight Nerval together. Akiha expresses disbelief at this~ (Wouldn't you? :P)

Spoiler:

The new colony's name is Xanthippe, actually. (With the "X" pronounced as "Ks".) Satchan is one of the purple-haired twins that were seen in an earlier episode (With the other one being Mitchan.)

[jennkei]

There we go. I thought it had a -pe ending but can never really tell with names.

Spoiler:

Akiha: What? Another talking colony?

???: Long time no see Leopard~

Leopard: This voice! YOU! XANTHIPPE!?

Xanthippe: ufufu I've become really pretty right~? But I won't be hanging around, I just came to pick up Nerval-sama~

Leopard: Nerval? Hmph, he's now-

Nerval: Huhuhu, seems like your Soul Shouts is not complete yet.

Leopard: !!! WHAT!?!?

Nerval: (don't really understand but)Farewell, for now!

Xanthippe: From now on its the world of adults, there's no place for little boys~ Gokigen yo~ OH~ HOHOOHO~ (Rie Tanaka just created the sexiest colony in all history)
--------------

For the tram scene, its too wordy and not as dynamic as colony chatter, so I'll just summarise:

Basically Nerval is their enemy, also the enemy of the entire human race. An organisation exists to counter Nerval, and that is the Shishidou Corporate.

Kazane: And you, together with Leopard is destined to fight with Nerval.

Akiha: !!???

I can't help but have an image of Lulu and his mother .
I'm placing my bet on Leopard having slim body and the same eyes as Leouch.

[Gallean]

Interesting, thanks for the translations!

Think they're really going to link Leopard with Lelouch in any really obvious way like giving him a similar body? I think that would ruin the so far perfect balance between humor, subtle references of all kind and captivating story. It would just be too cheesy :P.

[Fishfood1]

^it's even more funny cause one of the screen shot had takane having one of her hand over her eye(even though she was holding something else), but due to the angle of the shot, it look like she's using the hand to cover her eye, which we'd seen lulu did that so many times

You need a slim body to jump around like an idiot as the current Leopard, and the sharp eyes for the lulz.

Why how did you know! As an engineer in training I'm more inclined towards hard sci-fi. That why I like stargate over star trek. It goes with out saying I'll never take up war hammer 40000.

[Cat Megex]

...Okay, who tagged this thread with "sakurago"? I want to give you a cookie. But to whoever put the "shoujou" tag: That's not how you spell "shoujo".

...But...but...I'm an engineer in training as well! And I like fantasy in addition to science fiction. Does the fact that I'm aiming for computer engineering make a difference?

[Duo Maxwell]

As soon as I hear "Sakurago", I can't stop myself from giving this thread the tag .

No, it's just mean you are the type of person who understand the line between reality and fantasy, and let your imagine run wild while you're enjoying it. You just know when to put your logical mind into rest .

Oh, I see.

[Sin Ansem]

Hmmm...

Subs usually show up on the weekend, with the new ep out on Monday. So hang tight guys!

I'm doing Computer Systems too.

Personally I think people who like hard sci-fi represents a sense of hoping it shows what engineering will eventually manage to achieve. Think of all those news of "xxx from StarXXX just got built in labs".

Mixing fantasy in a god-did-it sense (aka cop out) kind of undermines the greatness of such achievements.

Huh? No, I like hard science fiction as well.

Actually, I like hard fantasy too. (In effect, a worldsetting where non-real things exist, such as magic and/or elves, etc., but where such things are considered with the same scientific mindset you would apply to real-world stuff. ...That's not a very good explanation of what I mean, but it's close enough for now.)
