...I had some room freed in my hard-disk, as I will follow Mononoke, Zetsubou Sensei and Baccano! together with the ongoing spring series. I need more drive space ç___ç.
I know Geass will air in probably a hour or so, and many images are already floating around, but as with every Saturday, the thing I'm looking most forward to is a new Terra e...episode. This one was a hard one to watch... (especially if you are a Mu supporter...)
We already knew Blue was going to die in this episode, and so he does. His death was long overdue,though XD.I was really happy to see Jomy finally wear the headphones and officially become leader of the Mu. He's gone through many, many tragedies and hardships, and he's really matured into a wonderful guide for his people. He has to witness the deaths of many companions, and especially of Kim, the one guy he punched maaany yers before, the very first time he set foot on the Shangri-La, back when he still was Annoying Brat Jomy. The scene was very angsty, and touched me more than Blue's death, probably because nobody really expected Kim to die, of all people (I feared for poor Leo, possibly the one Mu, together with Jomy and Braun, that I like).
The new-generation children were also shown as young boys and girls, not babies anymore, but not yet teens or adults. I liked how the director handled the transformation, as it ws pretty difficult to tie up to the manga plotline at this point.
So Tony, Mu from Hell , is now a cute, graceful boy with lovely pink hair. I could almost like him, if I already didn't know what his true character is like.
This was really an episode about showing some characters'true colours...and adding more and more shadow to those of some others.
Orenji Murdoch is suddenly horrified of the disaster Megiddo causes, calling himself and Yzak Michelle "soldiers who obey orders" and not
genocidal monsters like Keith is, among everyone. I'm not entirely sure Murdoch is that good of a guy though...He's probably just plotting to have him taken off the army because of excessive fanaticism and cruelty, Pretty much like it happens in the manga really.
Truth be told, Keith the Evil Android (aka Mother-Machine without a Soul)is certainly doing his best to get such accusations. He's really difficult to read and understand as a character , because the only one who truly knows him, and this just because he can read that twisted mechanical mind of his, is Matsuka. If you have to believe what lovely Matsuka-tan says, Keith doesn't believe in what he proclaims ( Grand-Mother this, SD System that, all of it) , but if you were to judge based on his actions and general mood, heck, either he's a wonderful actor, or Matsuka is totally wrong. I already know which one it is, but anyway.... His genocidal-freak handle on the situation keeps scaring me, and what really hurts it's seeing what a kind and considerate person he can (still) be, when the System is not totally owning him.
Talking of Matsuka, he saves his beloved Shôsa one more time, and climbs higher and higher up on my favourites list XD. Keith's newfound boytoys are also pretty nice people, if a little bit on the fanatical side.
I'm really looking forward to the next episode, with Fearless Leader!Jomy meeting Swena *_* (it was about time ^^).
I want Terra e...'s OST. Now ç_ç.
