Once again, I am behind. Joy. Two-episode catchup post. Hopefully I'll watch the next episode early next week.

I think the song reached Setsuna and Ali, not because it was loud, but because Setsuna was in the 00 Raiser with its magic telepathic GN particles

Magic telepathic GN particles can do anything!

I think it's been confirmed that Healing/Hilling is the only female-identified Innovator (aside from Anew in her current state). All the other pairs may have one more masculine and one more feminine member, but everyone except Hilling and Anew seems to identify as male.

Nena is also Setsuna's creepy stalker. But she's cute about it. ;)

I'm kind of "meh" over Anew/Lyle because, if the ED is any indication, they seem to be pushing it as equivalent to Allelujah/Soma and Setsuna/Marina and, seriously? The tossed-together relationship of two characters I can barely bring myself to care about is equivalent to stuff we've seen develop since midway through the first season? It seems almost pointless to try to play any angsty love tropes straight with them at this point; it's hard to care enough

"I just think we all need to understand each other."

(Setsuna proceeds to Trans Am as hard as he can, covering ALL OF EARTH AND SPACE WITH MAGIC NEWTYPE DUST)
(Now everyone is telepathic and naked)
(World saved)

That's the Good Ending.

And if you play through a second time you can unlock an H-scene with boobs!Tieria.

One thing season 2 seems to be pushing a lot is that females can be feminine or they can fight, but never both. It's being done a lot with Louise and Marie. I hope both of them shatter that idea in the end though.

Considering that the one pushing that idea with Louise is Andrei, and he's a creep, I think we can look forward to the idea getting smacked down.
