Agree completely. Why someone would aspire to that job is beyond me. They must be really love the art.

I see in the preview that Shion is shakingly holding a gun. It looks like he may be the worm who turns on Ryouko and saves the day. Very fitting.

Karin's biggest concern seems to be "What will happen to Mama and Papa if the world ends?"

Shangri-la is sure a great show for big events snd mysteries revealed. It would be hard for me to pick a favorite episode.

The big air attack
Karin's solipsis
Karin's kuma suit
Karin's sunglasses
The prison massacre

Very true and in relation to this particular show the majority of it has been pretty fantastic in the visuals department except for an episode here or there like ep 3 and the previous one, less than even a handful had any real issues while a lot of them have been quite gorgeous and this is a pretty ambitious series in terms of the environments and set pieces and big sequences; and the background art has been, for the most part, consistently stunning as well which usually is where a lot of shows take shortcuts.

There's a few others I'd add to that list including the first battle culminating in the daggers resonating for the first time in the very first ep, amazingly done and such an air of "epic" and scale and mystery in a few short moments of screen time to kick things off.

While I have this gut feeling it won't happen but for an AI to regain control by means other than hacking I don't think it possible. Something man made has to occur for medusa to revert back to itself.

it will even kinda make sense about all that financial analysis she did in the first episodes :P

Since there has been no mention of a father figure I'm assuming the creation of the Digma are in this case manufacture with a single entity being the genetic donor. Besides being bias as I prefer Kuniko mother to be someone of a kind and loving nature.

Spoiler for some plot revelation:

Ryouko is Zeus, a super computer as such there could be no biological extract of any sort. She could be a mother as such like those who has raise children knowing it isn’t their biological child in that sense. But I’m looking at the biological side. Who else? At this point I'm thinking it is someone we haven't seen or is Hiroko playing a part in all this.

Spoiler for episode 22:

His mother is still living on atlas and when Ryouko primary controls all of atlas it wouldn't be strange to suggest a hostage. He’s expression seem very awkward, I don’t think it was free which is causing him to behave in such manner.

This is part of a bigger truth, most anime watcher are just leechers and just want their anime to be shinny ^^, very few has experience hardship in life.

Side note: are most here just waiting on a free releases?

[SuperKnuckles]

I love how Kuniko just decides and then drops a whole satellite like it's a matter of course.

[jaziek]

I dont know if this has been said before but,





IT ALL FITS!

They're the same goddam person!

[Zwei]

They do look pretty similar...but Ryoko is sexier(though both of them look pretty ugly in those)

you are still in the box

Spoiler for guesses:

first of all we already know that supernatural powers exist in this anime.
second extreme hightech exitst in this anime.

what stops zeus\ryoko from being half biological which would make her being the "mother" possible.
not to mention the possibility of kuniko being a robot as well.

Look kinda similar and they're both totally creepy and crazy characters! Good call lol.

[GhostChronos]

[KiryuuKazumanosuke]

Amazon.co.jp would be happy to sell them to you at a reasonable price.

[klare]

eps 22 is so good, if it can continue like this till the end then this will be one of the best series of the season

Spoiler for Sayako:

she suddenly became so strong that she managed to defeat Momoko and stopped Kuniko... i always believe characters that fell from the cliff will not die

[GhostChronos]

Yeah we did see him again after he fell from the cliff. I actually thought it was him who was going to appear at the end of episode 22.

[GhostChronos]

does anyone knows a site to see the manga or dl it? ;o

[Giggi]

Uhmm... in the beginning I liked this anime very much... but now I don't really enjoy it that much. Dunno what happened, but I even find it a bit boring. I'm at ep. 21 but I felt this way for 4-5 eps.
I have the feeling that the true story is being told too slowing, giving to the audience only really small bits and pieces every ep... and surrounding them with a lot of non-important things.
