...also known as the episode where everyone is massively stupid. Seriously. :|
Am I the only one amused by the fact that Guy always seems to be standing close to a girl any time there's a close up of him talking? Seriously. :|
Oh look, it's you. The episode picks up where the last one left off, and Spinoza offers his services to help a lot earlier than he does in the game, but whatever. I have a feeling the anime is going to forgo the one month time jump, just like it's forgone all the backtracking stupidity that was in the game.
This. Is. Adorable. He stands there for a good few seconds before he pretends like he just opened the door. SO cute.
This part had me crying, and the episode has barely begun. Luke is just so... being such an adorable not-boyfriend. >:
If rather insistent, despite Tear telling him that she doesn't want people to see her like this.
"Then I'll turn away."
"...idiot."
...have I mentioned I love the computer generated animation in this series enough times yet? :D;;;
Thankfully they breeze by the lowering the land bullshit with visiting all of the Sephiroth. Seriously, that was the most annoying (not to mention boring and repetitive) part in the whole game.
Obvious canon pairing is obvious.
Another thing I love about the anime; Noelle actually INTERACTS with the other characters, instead of "lol you can only see me in the Albiore". Seriously, would it have killed them to have her visit a town (that wasn't Sheridan) with them or something?
Another shot with Noelle (in a scene where Natalia ends up putting her foot in her mouth. Way to go, princess).
Guy recalls Van showing him what he thinks was the Seventh Fon Stone when they were kids.
Am I the only one amused by the fact that Ion's the only guy that gets a blanket?
Okay, this is a part that normally happens in Wyon cavern, not randomly in the middle of no where. It makes a lot of sense here, and I'm kinda glad they did it like this. Makes the fact that the land is suddenly going to fall and we're all going to DIE that much more URGENT.
SURPRISE ASCH.
Yeah, okay, I admit, gratuitous fan service shot. Bite me. :|
"Master! Master! Wake up!"
"NO! *squish*"
GO ASCH!!! 8D
Is it just me, or does Van seem less obsessive about his ideals and more EVIL? Expressions like that don't help.
PWN'D!
Okay... I'm pretty sure you can guess what happens now...
ffffffff
ffffffffffffffffffffffff
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
They moved the, "So why don't you just kill me and replace me with a replica!" line up to here, which was just really freaking great.
Yeeeeah, you can tell what my favorite pairing is. >>;;;
And there goes Van, all hopping rocks.
Van really got Asch good; they'll probably mention it in the next open, but Van pretty much cut his stomach open. >.o
..... <3 T_T;
Of course, he has to RUIN IT. -_-;;;
Is it just me, or does he look REALLY YOUNG in this shot? I mean, I know he IS really young, but still...
What's with people thinking they're Batman in this series?
Poor Natalia. D:
Pretty much Tear tells everyone that she knows more than ever that she has to go up against Van now, before Ion tells them their next destination...
...Keterburg! City of cold, and...
...hilarious Luke expressions.
Seriously, there are more funny Luke faces in this episode than any of the others so far. And by the way, they just heard Dist ranting. Oh yes.
"Colonel, your boyfriend's here!"
*SIIIIGH* (no, they don't really say that, but still. XD)
And he really is in full rant mode too. Yikes. XD
Poor Jade. I have NEVER imagined him looking that stressed. XDD
"Oh Dist..."
"JAAAAADE!!! <3333"
Okay, if Jade were looking at me like this?
I WOULD NOT JUST BE SITTING THERE WITH A STUPID EXPRESSION ON MY FACE.
So, Jade drags him off for buttsecks...
...and apparently beats the Fontech out of him. Ouch. XD
"I'm back."
Seriously, that's all he says after a good few seconds of beating the shit out of Dist. XDD
Traveling up to Mount Roneal. Why couldn't they have had those cloaks in the game? That's freaking cool. XD
Luke asking Ion about how he feels about being a replica. So cute. T_T
DANCE REPLICA DANCE
Oh hi...
...were you not expecting us?
Bitch face shot is for Laena. She knows why. :D
Natalia faces down Largo...
...and Guy's going after Regret. Seriously, selective gynophobia at work.
Okay, HERE'S THE PART THAT ANNOYS THE FUCK OUT OF ME. Obvious avalanche hazard is obvious.
So what does Jade do? What does JADE, the person that REPEATEDLY WARNS YOU IN THE GAME to keep your voices down so you don't CAUSE AN AVALANCHE?!?!
...you guessed it.
"THUNDER BLADE!"
Even Luke is like, "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!"
RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!
...now why didn't they just do that in game?
"MASTER IS MISSING!!!"
"EH!?!"
Oh, there he is.
GODDAMMIT JADE!!!!
The rest of this episode pretty much follows what happens in game.
"Wow, they're not even officially a couple yet, and the earth is already moving."
Okay, so I couldn't resist another one of these. :|;;
And the episode ends with Jade informing the others that Van pretty much screwed them. Royally.
