Vena: pretty much. If anything it's probably also due to the writers using the opportunity to reassure the viewers that Mikono hasn't yet gone 100% over to the wolfman...since it seems Amata and Mikono can't just talk about it directly. Also don't forget that one of the standard anime rejections follows on with "...there's someone else that I like" (sigh), which just isn't going to get said then and there.

In re: Kagura, it'd have been kinda ok if it'd just been between her and Yunoha ("what made you believe *your* Altairian wasn't actually a bad dude?"), but for Amata and Andy to overhear that and respond by trying to get him in good with her cat? , piloting Aquarion must impair one's critical reasoning.

I actually saw a comic on pixiv that made that joke ahead of episode 16's airing. What can't pixiv fan-artists predict?

In re: Ianthe, perhaps. Crack theory:
Spoiler for Ianthe:


Here it is: http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.p...st_id=26524067

...whoever that is basically called it a week in advance.

No, it makes sense. It may be completely stupid, but Mikono trusts that furball who prefers the mass kidnapper/murderer to the guy who risked his life several times to rescue its owner. So it's either that or try to replace Shushu with an identical but friendlier... rabbit? and hope Mikono doesn't notice.

(Or, you know, go after a woman that isn't quite so brain damaged.)

Trying to find and then emplace a Shu-Shu replacement would make a fantastic omake.

Its probably rather important that Mikono interjects not while he says the first line but when he starts on the second... and that she flips to jealousy at that moment: Uncertainty. (Of course, this doesn't change the fact that Zessica will get turned down next episode either by her own volition or with a talk from Amata.)

Of course, I found much of this episode a bit suspect in writing especially in regards to Mikono and how she was treated. Some aspects of the writing were honestly entirely off the wall for her character: "Shushu likes him... he cannot be that bad of a guy." There is no logic in this sentence, none, unless the point is to show a paramount level of self-delusion in Mikono. (Of course, I'm very suspicious of what Fudo might be planning.)
Ya I agree although his tone and the sentence before sudgested he's trying to let her down gently the fact he kinda strings words together means he was caught off gaurd. Even the previous episode where she tries to justify Kagura having Mikono and maybe they could hook up. Amata would have no such thought of that, he still obviously cares deeply about Mikono. And I can see Zessica being turn down in the next episode or the one after that. I was also too lazy to look up Unrequited so when I did it basically means one sided (learn something new everyday). I just don't want to see an ending where Zessica doesn't get equal response to her feelings and basically turns into a Reika situation. Then Amata and Mikono try to comfort her.

Woah, this thread got more replies than episode 15.

Well, Amata may be angsting right now, but it's usually characters like him who turn out badass at the end.

I mean, look at Shu. The guy was worse in turns of moping around and feeling pity for himself. And he mans up at the end. Least we have Amata deciding to say "SCREW YOUR DESTINY." And defy the reasons of logic.

So Amata is going to defy logic and kick reason to the curb? Sound familiar anyone?

Or rather, isn't it normal to have some self-doubt and uncertainty are being dealt a massive blow both physically and emotionally last episode?

(Shu is a whole different creature altogether...)

This episode gave many hints and false clues, eh? The only Mikono's reincarnation pairing that I haven't read yet are mickey mouse and dumbo.(j/k)
I rewatched the episode subbed. the other day I was not in the mood, this time I enjoyed it more, even if it wasn't aquarion at his best until it started heart shaping all over the place
Surely they kept an lighthearted atmosphere, even Zessica's confession looked more nice, but in a no romantic way. As it was intended more for Zessica's sake than something else. So she could move on. I just hope that Amata will handle the matter directly and verbally. Poor Zessica. She is always alone, the only quasi-friend is Mix that is all over Andy (it's time to show them to us!!).
Surely what I didn't like much was how they handled Amata and Mikono reactions and behavior. I was expecting a more heavy atmosphere, giving what happened the previous episode. But, this is Aquarion, so I can't complain. And having the beach time next episode surely didn't help.

I had forgot very much about the original Aquarion, but thanks to the visions I just remembered why I disliked it

I didn't watch it. But I shade a tear at the end of the flashback. I'm too sensitive.

...Really? Was it really that obvious to you, Donar ? Was it really that obvious to everyone including the computer ?
Probably because the heart gauge status show that only Zess's part that was pink while Amata's is black

Wow, so now Kagura is a mass murderer and kidnaper... Just because his killings happened during the show, all of you seem way more unforgiving of him than say Shrade who didn't even had someone to brainwash him into killing lots of people.

Sure Kagura is rash and has done tons of bad stuff but the worst he has done was because Mykage kind of brainwashed him.

And well let's not blame Kagura for Shushu's dislike of Amata, the fur ball is at fault here.

(And yes, Amata should totally go for someone less brain damaged, but for good or bad he is dead set on Mikono)

We don't know the entirety of his circumstances, but Shrade isn't the enemy. He's put his life on the line to protect his comrades. Kagura is. That's what pisses me off about Mikono's reaction.

And why did Shrade even enter into this? It doesn't matter what Shrade's done, Kagura has participated in the kidnapping and murder of civilians. That's a fact.

Yes, it is so much more reassuring that someone can just flip a switch to make him do anything.

I don't. I don't even blame Shushu who, until proven otherwise, is just an animal. I'm blaming Mikono for placing any stock in Shushu's opinion. It's not like it even has any kind of track record - it just hates everyone but Mikono and, now, Kagura.

More like Mikono's possessive empathy pet.

My explanation is that Mikono was trying to rationalize her action and feelings. Granted, it was a poor rationalisation for them but given how much they confused her, it should be understandable that she was grasping at straws.

...How ? What made this one any different? If it's about Aquarion going berserk we know it's partly/mostly due to Zessica's unrequited love... And that Jealous was more like the lit match on her gasoline...
