Interesting episode. Love the fact that space battle in the beginning was a dream. BTW, what is Ririka's job anyway?
PS:I'm kinda disappointed that Marty Friedman wasn't in the Mugen no Ai music video. I'll think i wait when the video of him performing at Momoiro Clover Z concert is out.

I am looking forward to when the full version of the ED "Lost Child" by Momoiro Clover Z comes out on March 7th.
Anyway, came across this link yesterday and forgot share it: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/revi...tes/episodes-1 ANN actually gives a mostly complimentary review of the first 6 episodes. The feedback to the review seems to be the typical ANN comments of "this is so boring" and "I love this show". I though I'd share just to show what people outside of Animesuki think of this series so far. |

Still, as in all things, you don't need to be lucky all the time - you just need to be lucky once. Interestingly, it looks like while Bentenmaru and Barbarossa are more or less the same size, Odette II appears to be significantly larger. Makes me wonder what her original armament was... what I find keeps sticking in my mind is mentions in Episode 3 that she's outfitted with a flagship's command and control suite... Quote:
On a standard naval vessel, however, they're probably going to have clear passageways as much as possible.

Hakuchou is the Odette II's old name; you mean the Original Seven. ;D Also, IIRC, in those days they also had Commodores as squadron commanders, though the rank has fallen out of favor in the modern navy.
That said, given how they stressed on Bentenmaru, Barbarossa and Odette II as being survivors of the Original Seven, I'm guessing that a few of those ships were lost at combat. Also, I find it amusing but understandable how Chiaki is one moment a moe teenager buying stuff for her dad and the next moment a spacer of the Barbarossa receiving orders from her Captain. As for Marika's make up, my first impression is that she looks older, especially under the bright spotlights - it's only in normal light that it looks overdone. *Edit: Thinking about the clogged passageway, I wonder if perhaps it's a misinterpretation of a USN submarine practice. On USN subs, the walkways are made of a light material for the most part, because foodstuffs are stored in heavy boxes under them; at the start of a cruise the passages tend to be short - months later, as more food is eaten and boxes disposed of, the passages are taller...

You know, this might just be something the author threw in there for comedy effect, and to show that these guys aren't professional like a real navy ship.
But the USN practice could be the inspiration.

Well, it's not just boxes, there are what appear to be structural beams that she has to crawl under/jump over as well. Who designs a ship with beams going through the passageway? I'm fairly certain that the obstructions are intentional.

That's precisely what makes it so delicious. Everyone and their mother can tell at a glance she likes Marika, but she's still hell bent on denying it because she has her "Ice Queen" reputation to uphold. She doesn't want to be seen as soft.

The passage way design might have been a refit to help protect either the Captain or the main treasure hold from boarding attempts. Will all those thing blocking the way, it would stall invaders from getting to those locations. and provide cover for defenders.
If the enemy isn't using weapons that can just punch through the ship's hull...as it isn't wise to blow holes in starships if one wants what is inside intact or alive.

Oh and in other news, http://www.fanfiction.net/anime/Boda...Space_Pirates/ I guess I will have to start writing my Marika X Chiaki drabbles and such. Many parfaits may be consumed in the process. |

Might be something else though. Chiaki mentioned how she never gets anything official while on the Babarossa. Perhaps that constant lack of action from possibly an overly protective father thus making her want to keep appearing 'professional'. That could have been the origin of her Ice Queen persona.
Too bad then that every time she is given a task, she has no cause for celebration (Marika's in trouble).
