You take that back! Madoka will pull through this and make everything better I tell you!

I agree we don't need to break the girls down for things to get serious.

I said back after episode 1 aired that I'd personnaly be perfectly fine with the show being a lighthearted affair with no real suspense or drama where I just get to see Madoka kick ass every week.[QUO
I still stand by that.

Having said that.

I'm not sure Gen would need to kidnap the original writer,that guy's only other major screenwriting credit is the second half of Darker than Black

Hell he handled the screenwriting for the mindfuck that was the ending of Darker than Black S2.

I finally understand the different views of the precursor culture.

The Vox is Earth's defense system meant to defend it. The ancestor of the Polyhedron did not colonize their worlds after a disaster. Their worlds were already colonized to begin with.

Their ancestors were stupid enough to try conquer Earth and got their butts handed to them by the Voxes.

Survivors accounts and propaganda became superstition. That is why for 20,000 years Earth was left alone.

Wait hold up where did all this come from? And if it's true it's the greatest twist ever!

My theory come from Youko's archeological findings. The people of Earth did not demonize the Voxes.

Only the colonists had that superstition.

Plus do you really think a proper evacuation and colonization (barring Macross' Global foresight) would have been done if Apocalypse suddenly happened?

What's more interesting is the very oblique reference to the stationary solution of Lagrangian points, that is, Yoko's explanation about "three" being historically the most "stable" prime in numerology. One shall fall, two will divide, but three unites. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Creator (Brahma), the Preserver (Vishnu) and the Destroyer (Shiva). The Beginning, the Middle and the End.

ookamigirl · 2012-03-19, 13:25

Pretty action filled episode.
It was intense watching all those enemy attacks.
Guess as it's coming to an end it becoming more interesting.
Wonder if Madoka went berserk...

leokiko · 2012-03-19, 14:01

HAHA. Take that MADOKA! That's what this anime has been needing. Seriousness. You are fighting to protect something, causalties are an common thing. Now iron your heart, and kill those bastards.

chaos_animagic · 2012-03-19, 14:56

LOL...

Madoka's so weak at end of episode 11...

Spoiler for .:

Random Wanderer · 2012-03-19, 15:10

No, that's a pretty normal reaction to seeing someone you care that deeply about badly hurt or killed. It only becomes notable because of the effect it had on the voces.

RX-78GP04G Gerbera · 2012-03-19, 15:12

And we also can't forget that Yoko isn't "just" Madoka's relative, but the very inspiration for who she turned out to be today.

And suddenly my eyes sparkle with a sadistic glee of what might come out of this show in the future. (yes, I'm one of those weird folks that actually enjoyed DtB season 2

)

Forsaken_Infinity · 2012-03-19, 17:16

Boring...
Really really boring.

inisipis · 2012-03-19, 17:19

Methinks that the Madoka's flower aura neutralizes all weapons in vicinity. Not sure how it'll effect her cousin though, she might still end up dead. I'm not surprise if she does, judging from past shows they made.

Spoiler for A question:

~~mangatron~~ · 2012-03-19, 20:35

Fun ep, great action too. When Mugimugi and Lan had the plan to split up, I really thought that was going to work, but whoa I and them got served

Oh, and I do enjoy seeing orbital bombardment from space fleets, I've always questioned big ships not using all their firepower planetside

I don't think I noticed this before, but I like the idea of Lan being the gunner, Madoka being the swordfighter, and Mugimugi being the combination of the two. Three's a team I guess

Not much to say though... last week I was expecting some nice action, and I got it. Although at the end of the ep, I wasn't really expecting that. I mean the part where the city was targeted, then I thought it really was obliterated, and then the 3 dudes showed up

I really thought the city really went up in flames

Okay, I gotta confess: I've been paying too much attention to Lan's butt

Seriously, I never really paid much attention to her other features, there were times where I look at Lan and say "Is that flower growing out of her head or is that a hair accessory...

"

Thank you so much! After such a cliffhangerish ending to ep 11, I thought "oh man, gotta wait another week.... better check the forum for that endcard"

And love that Mugimugi salute. Ahaha her big ones look so nice

Nice theory, it got me thinking like this too. There was a guy called Maximillian who said that the victors [of a battle] write the history, and that could be a similar case here where the, er, spacenoids side of history was more preserved than Earth's history, seeing the state of those tablets. So in a way that part of the legend took precedence over the tablets side of the story. Interesting stuff I say.

I think the key thing there was that Yoko got hurt protecting someone.

To Madoka, someone dying because they tried to save another is a very traumatic experience.

Spoiler for A question:

Hm. It'd be too much of a stretch to say it was Yoko, but I think there was talk earlier in the thread about Madoka's mom. There is still that drowning event when Midori met Madoka, surely that thing didn't move on it's own.... or did it

RX-78GP04G Gerbera · 2012-03-19, 20:44

Yeah, it's tricky to look elsewhere with that outfit...lol

Yea you never see enough spaceships bringing the rain in anime do ya?
Was nice to see that type of ordnance being used despite the fact that thousands could have died

Same here, really did think it went kaboom, while I expected the 3 guys to show up and help out I did not expect them to make that type of entrance.
Gotta hand it to them they have a "hero's timely arrival" down pretty damn well

Was a great ep, plenty of awesome mecha action!
Did not expect that ending tho, the wait for next ep is gonna be a long and difficult one cause I really, really, really want to know what happens!!!

Can't tell if we'll see something stopping Madoka before going "Kira Yamato" on KISS or at least for abit before being stopped somehow.
Think someone might not feel so safe in their big battle ship....at least I hope thats what might happens

This is confirmed for 2 cour yea?
So maybe not see too much death going on atm and not sure we'll see Yoko die, Madoka's already lost her mum, doubt we'll see her losing her sister as well.

Still loving this series, still top anime this season for me!

Technically, but the second half isn't going to air for a few months. So if things aren't left on a satisfactory note in the next episode, we're going to be stuck waiting for a while for the next part to come along and fix it all.

Midonin · 2012-03-19, 22:18

There's an extended version of "TRY UNITE!" on Megumi Nakajima's latest album. Most of the additions are instrumental, and the melody seems a bit remixed. As worth a listen as the original song, though.

BAM, sis got injured... and she goes crazy.... LOL I think her attitude changed WAY too fast... it gone from extremely excited to extremely depressed... there was no middle. She didn't even go "crazy" due to wanting to "protect"... but she go "crazy" due to the thought of others being injured... Tho... with this, I can brand her as a sort of "Yandere" type. All Happy and Nice, than BAM, instant Psycho-ness

Regarding the cataclysmic event that the Vox's made that caused the planetary wars, a very young Lan is a pilot and Yurikano is another. My question is, who pilots the third Vox?
