This anime is interesting, although at times it feels a bit random. Like the gay and lesbian pair up..... it didnt really fit in, if you ask me. Then Maria was in love with Saki obviously, but decided to run away with Mamoru. It left me perlexed .... and there have been a few more instances where I didnt really understand the purpose of the scene. |

Then two battles took place: - Giant Hornets vs the alliance minus the Robber Flies which were mysteriously absent. This ended in the Giant Hornets' victory. - Spider Wasps vs Goat Moths. The Spider Wasps inexplicably allied with the Goat moths and crushed the Giant hornets that came to support them. Then later on, we find out the Giant Hornets have been annihilated, most likely by the Robber flies' main force. From this, we can surmise the Spider Wasps and the Goat Moths were allies of the Robber Flies all along, and that their previous conflict was nothing more than a big sham to force Kiroumaru to instigate a war. This gave Yakomaru the perfect excuse to wipe the Giant Hornets off the map.

I had to watch the ep twice to figure out who was who with all the weird colony names. Didn't pay attention to them before haha. That queerat leader is a sneaky one, he's definitively planning something. He must of sneakily gotten the spider colony on his side, stage an attack to have an excuse for war, then use all of his momoshiro-obtained tech to annihilated the hornets.

Did Satoru unthinkingly say something dumb and insensitive that pissed Saki off? Did Satoru make a bad comment about Maria or Mamoru? Did Satoru and Saki have a disagreement about whether their village's harsh methods of ensuring peace were justified or not? Did Satoru take the last Sun Drop from the refrigerator? It was interesting that Saki was so petty and childish whenever they first met up, over an issue that wasn't all too important. That display almost makes it seem as though Saki might be less mature in a way than she was as a child... maybe she's kind of broken down and worn out from her traumatic adolescence. It would be a small miracle if Saki didn't develop PTSD from the events of the first sixteen episodes. |

Yakomaru talks a very good game, but I'm honestly a bit disappointed that the humans never saw through his act. This is especially true of Saki, who really ought to know better given her past experience with Yakomaru.
The humans not getting actively involved in this massive Queerat War may well be a choice that comes back to haunt them. I really enjoyed the big meeting scene, including Yakomaru's part. Good to see some colorful personalities amongst the top humans there. That one guy with the mask on gives me a bit of a superhero vibe (I think he's the guy that was claimed to be able to split the world in half, is that correct?). I also was amused by how that muscular, moustached guy gave me vibes of him just itching for a big war. He made me think of somebody out of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, lol.

The new ending is quite nice, but it places a lot of emphasis on Maria. From it, I would assume that Maria is going to be a very large part of the rest of the series, but my impression from people who have seen the story before is that she isn't, at least to that extent. The song is nice, and the pictures are really very pretty. It doesn't have the same level of style as the first ending, though. That one suited the show perfectly.
I think Saki was in the ending sequence at one point. There's one scene where the person shown has brown hair rather than red hair. There was also an image of somebody with short hair curled up - maybe Mamoru, or maybe a kid? It looked a bit small to be an adult man, but not curvy enough to be an adult woman. Anyway, going by this ep, it's now it's fairly clear that the Queerats evolved from naked mole rats. I'd been expecting Saki and Satoru to be an established couple by now. Interesting that they fell out some time ago, but it's cute that they were looking for a chance to be friends again and the conflict wasn't dragged out. Quote:
I was a bit surprised that Saki didn't go all "Don't trust that lying Yakomaru!" towards anyone who would listen. And she's the one who says she was the most suspicious of the Queerats. |

I wish they'd hurry up and screw everyone over already. Or there will be no time for a happy ending. Not that I'm really expecting one at this point. Losing 4/6 of the original team is already pretty tragic.
Using the other song as the new ED surprised me. It's a nice change. Surprisingly Maria-centric. |

In fact most of what we've seen is in line with what the "info dump" episodes have shown. |

Question is Kiroumaru still alive? I am so confused about who is part of what colony and I wasn't sure if his colony was the one that was annihilated or not.
Anyways as for the new ending, I didn't mind it as an insert song but Wareta Ringo was so much more powerful as an actual ending. I noticed a trend that a lot of anime series change an opening/ending that I loved to a weaker one. I know it's too promote new music but sometimes just keep the awesome first one please.

I can't believe Saki, Yakomaru was lying in front of them obviously and all she does is bite her lips? Why is Yakomaru getting all the chances to fool the humans. it's like I'm watching a drama on TV.... I want that bastard die!!!
In the preview... was that Maria? Where's Mamoru? Kuromitsu? Last edited by NoemiChan; 2013-01-27 at 00:14. |

She is clearly the most junior official in the room. I didn't find her reluctance to speak surprising at all. it seemed pretty obvious that she was only supposed to speak when asked, and then only because she had some factual material to report. I doubt any of the review panel cared about her opinions. This is a society built on hierarchy and order after all.

If they were really relaxed about sex and used sex as stress relief, then we would get to see quite a hedonistic society, which is not the case. Plus it would seem, that they live in a sort of primitive way (compared to our society) and if they allowed kids to have sex at 12 or so, they would have LOADS of teenie pregnancies. Thats just on the side. So yeah, this whole sex thing sounds pretty random to me, because they decided to throw it in for shock and to make their society sound exotic but they didnt bother to adjust the details to fit this random piece of information. |
