But just to play devil's advocate, Kagura doesn't necessary smell only the same things animals do. I mean, I think we can safely assume that Amata bathes and washes his hair, and he sweats and whatnot, so he must have a smell. So either the writers have completely ignored this, or Kagura's sense of smell works on a more, shall we say "metaphysical" level. (I mean, if nothing else Kagura should've been able to smell his shampoo or something, unless they use the same brand. Then again, that kind of strays into BL doujinshi territory...) |

The image of a visibly perturbed Mykage floating away from a cat just came to mind.
I also just realized: it looks like Alisia probably did her own stunts in "Skies of Aquaria", doesn't it? Not sure exactly why but I find this hilarious, maybe due the way Amata *still* has issues controlling his abilities? And it's a good thing Zessica didn't find that picture of Andy (with Kagura in the background) Amata bought a few episodes back, isn't it? Talk about potential misunderstandings... That's about it for my random asides inspired by this week's episode, I think. What an episode it was though, very possibly the best yet. |

If Mikono and Kagura are the reincarnation of Apollo and Slivia? Wouldn't there be problem for them to be reunited again cause Cayenne's element Prophecy of Despair see those two as the worst Union.
I think the reason why those two are in those prophecy are b/c Apollo and Sylvie had been torn from each other and wanting to be reunited might cause a repeat from Mikono and Kagura from their time....... Amata is probably a hybrid of the shadow angel or descendant of Apollonius. If Alicia has the same power as Amata then wouldn't the both of them have no scent since Angel are just no human being --ish..... maybe |

I just noticed that the person who designed the male characters has a huge glove fetish. Except for Shrade the pianist, they all have gloves XD |

Who else noticed the heart? Possibly yummy symbolism...
Spoiler for Heart:
I can't be the only one who sees some really bad shit happening to Amata in these next few episodes, right? After finally opening up about his mom (to the girl that not only looks like her but also just got compared to her), he's (and the just right for the mid season climax) ripe to get himself/his heart utterly crushed/destroyed. Likewise, Mikono just opened up about her brother leaving her... and his sudden re-increase in screen time and all the talk (from himself and Shrade) about his desire to protect his sister. (You know these things aren't coincidental.) Zessica is going to do something or this build up with her is going to be utterly pointless (all of it, enough to make you wonder why she's even in a triangle that's so... one sided). And, anyone else fairly convinced that Jin/Yunoha are going to do something very bad soon? Like, I don't know, releasing a certain beast that's driven by love?

If it was there to foreshadow she would do something, then her actions could have spoiled the movie. Instead, she quietly kept things away to herself in a sullen way again.

And powers have proved to be rather deceptive in this show with our main boy having been the most obvious candidate for Apollonius/Apollo... until he suddenly wasn't. Then again, its hard to discern what is being made obvious for the story and what is being made *obvious* for the sake of a twist.

Vena: that's a cool thing to notice, I certainly didn't catch it while I was watching. Impressive dedication, too, editing the image on a phone. Sure seems like next week's episode should be a real doozy, but I'm backing away from even trying to predict who'll do what when. I'm just along for the ride (...and the fabulousness).
I somewhat agree on Zessica. I think her character is still easily salvageable if we get some more insight into her motivation for what she does. If it comes down to she really is in love with Amata and jealous of Mikono that's going to feel a bit lame right now. If instead it's some generalized "no one sees the real me! no one appreciates me for who I am!" it would turn out fine as long as it's introduced smoothly. So I'm waiting and seeing what happens. |

That said, we need to make a list of *that's obvious* for this show and see how many things turn out to be genuinely obvious and how many were *obvious* before the plot twist slapped us in the face. Oh, and before I forget, on the whole issue of smells from the episodes back: remember that Kagura tracked Mikono across an entire city in episode five and he did confirm, once he got to her, that she was the smell he was after. Even if his sense of smell requires proximity (which explains why he was blindly chasing vectors), he's confirmed to us that it was Mikono that he was after. (This also lets us avoid a few small contradictions (possible) from him already having smelled Zessica with no interest.) Double oh! Mykage can clearly fuck with Vega from his throne room. I don't see why he couldn't have been fucking with Zessica.

Vena: well, my spidey sense on her for awhile has been saying she's lonely and doesn't have any real friends. Respected by the other girls, yes, but only superficially friendly with the other top female pilots (MIX and Sazanka). It's ambiguous and I'm pretty sure we went over this a few pages back so I won't really make the case, just say that that's how I see it.
That's my contribution to the *that's obvious* pile for now. |

My personal favorite is my idea that Kagura was just a separated portion of Amata, the real reincarnation, that was done by Mikage.

Mykage might want her to be deliberately ignored. Remember what he said? If everyone admired a single flower, there is no reason for the garden to bloom. Quote:

Finally got to watch this in quality greater than my phone... and there's even more imagery that I find fun to point out:
0.) (Already posted it.) Zessica's display of *Force* turns the archway into a peculiar heart. 1.) Kagura smashes through, literally rips apart, Sylvia/Alicia on the big screen (and ruining the ongoing scene between her and Apollon)... just as he's literally looking for Mikono (and ruining the moment between Amata and Mikono). 2.) Amata's hair, from many different shots and angles in this episode, looks very peculiarly like the spoilered hair below. Aside from a single extra upward aimed lock of hair, it looks almost identical through in multiple scenes. Extra bonus to the fact that Amata's dad may well have been one of the men sent to retrieve Eve. Spoiler for Hair hair everywhere:
Quote:
The power is a go, no argument... though I wonder why it took us up to this scene to say its Sylvia's power when this is no different from what she showed off in Episode 2. Quote:
So Mykage's line is rather strange, isn't it? When he and Kagura are the only people looking at Mikono (unless you count Fudo and Amata on the other end). That and I'd have a hard time gathering what his strategy is if Zessica is Sylvia but he's deliberately sending Kagura to kill/eat/steal Mikono... unless Mikono is the actual impediment in this whole affair and he wants to get rid of her. Which would mean that he's actually trolling everyone. Quote:

This is a given. Also, out of the main cast, we still haven't learned Zessica's backstory. I suppose Andy's also a mystery, but we know some facts (he's always been obsessed with digging). Zessica, on the other hand, is a complete mystery. Quote:
My personal pet theory after this episode is that the old legend will finally conclude this time and a new legend (Amata&whoever he loves) is going to get trolled and begin to repeat that cycle, if Amata turns out to be a completely new guy.
