I've been thinking about the uncle's question about whether Daichi was being put in danger. Isn't the answer "no"? I mean, if he stays there and pilot, things may look grim, but not nearly as much as if he doesn't. Staying home isn't going to save him from the planet devouring aliens. So really, it's a case of 1% of chances of survival being a lot better than 0.000001%. |

At least now the overall situation within Globe is getting fairly clear. You have two competing philosophies on how to deal with the alien threat, and Globe is fine with either one. Which, in execution, probably means that Globe will let the Intercept Faction try their best until they feel there's no realistic hope of holding back the aliens, and then it's time to flee Earth.
The thing with this internal division within Globe is that you have hardcores on each side who are pulling strings to try to maneuver things closer to their preference of the two plans (intercept or flee). So now I can understand why you have a "The Left Hand doesn't know what the Right Hand is doing" sort of situation, since this internal philosophical division means that not everybody is completely on the same page. I really enjoyed Episode 6 since the plot nicely thickens with this episode, and some loose ends are tied up. After very minimal mecha action in Episode 4 through 6, I'm looking forward to getting back to that next week.

I'm guessing MacBeth is feeding Globe false information regarding just how devastating the Kiltgang are so he can manipulate the time tables to his advantage, yet not knowing himself that he's being fed false timetables by Puck. |

In which case, I'm not sure how I feel about what Akari's father is doing here. The stakes here are absolutely massive, and I don't know if one man alone should be keeping critical information to himself (and a few who share his preferred position) given those stakes.

It isn't a question of awareness the Salty Dog guy being antagonistic to the kids is evidence of that but whether he has the guts to do what has to be done. If I was in his position I reveal everything to the world fraking over those collaborators and the rest of the world would side with me in defending the planet. Cause really handing over Hana to the Kiltgang is a stupid idea as you'll lose all leverage against them. The Kivotos plan went from being backup plan just in case Earth was destroyed to ensuring it is destroyed so that a few can create their Social Darwinist society. Kube has a god complex which is why he has his own plan to replace Kivotos. As for Puck I have a nasty feeling Puck is only loyal to himself. He doesn't need Orgone energy nor does he have it. If betraying Kiltgang would ensure his existence he would do it. |

This episode shed a lot of light on the situation. The CEO of Macbeth seems like a complete idiot. He thinks he's this big shot that's going to rule the new world, but the truth is he's merely a puppet in the hands of the Planetary Gears and Puck. Daichi and Teppei really are humanity's last hope, it would seem.

I am calling it now, Puck is playing a deep game manipulating all sides to get a everyone lives ending so that he can have more people to matchmake. The last episode will have Teppei's father and Akari's mother , the commander and his assistant , Kube and his secretary , and Amara and Moco all getting married.

Well that is interesting. Destroying the Kiltgang's ego block renders them mortal.
Teppei got chosen by a Livlaster. I don't know why everybody calls Pitz a squirrel, is there a cyan colored squirrel in the first place. My guess Pitz is really a Livelaster. Daichi, Hana and Teppei all have Livlasters, Akari will probably be chosen as well. I see the Kiltgang being similar to Macross 7's Protodevlin that drains life of species they encounter. They've encountered Livlasters before with their chosen Neoteny that produces an infinite amount of Orgone energy. None of them can fire a Livlaster as they are not chosen so they created Hana. Hana left them towards Earth as she was summoned there. The reason it seems Kiltgang was never chosen by Livlasters until Teppei aka Albion destroyed his Ego block was that they cling to much to immortality and don't care if they destroy worlds in their gluttony. Neoteny with the Livlasters are similar to M7's Anima Spiritia such as Basara that they have a means of producing an infinite source of energy needed by Space Vampires. The only thing preventing Kiltgang from producing an infinite amount of Orgone energy on their own is their attitudes. |
