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.

I'm also mostly sure that Healing Care is female. It's really hard to tell with the Innovators, but it seems like Bring and Divine are the only same-gender Innovator pairs.

The Patrick scenes were beyond awesome, as expected of him.

Now Setsuna has two creepy stalkers! 'I've been watching you all this time' Ribbons and 'come to me, my Gundam!' Graham.

I'm not sure what I think of Anew/Lyle now... I really like Anew (even if I know she's either going to have been a traitor all along or is going to angst over her existence leading her Innovatwin Revive to them all this time) but Lyle... at least she's taken to calling him that too, and not Lockon.

I really hope we get to see the GN Archer in action soon. I love how eager Marie was to go pilot it.
Something even better. On the model kit for the GN Archer, the pilot is not listed as Marie Parfacy. The pilot is Soma Peries. I am very looking forward to seeing her go all serious business again and stop being happy shipwife.

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 think the fact that the GN Archer's pilot is listed as Soma Peries is just because that's still her 'official' name in merchandising circles, although I can hope it means something more. Still, I was happy about how eager she looked to pilot it, too. Maybe we'll get to see her confront Allelujah to tell him that actually, she doesn't really want to be "protected" from fighting.

"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.
