You're not really backing up your statement how Aniplex is at fault for the English subtitle delay.
Okay yeah, this episode was really fucking good. The show has pretty dreadful pacing overall, but with things coming together it's been really entertaining the last few weeks. The direction this week was off the charts. They managed to get lots of different types of fights in, fill in story stuff, get a few Mako jokes in, and it just kept going on and on. There was even animation! I can't even hate on the music here, because most of the selection was spot on.
This is the KLK I've always wanted to watch. The KLK which shows up occasionally in some episodes, with the promise that at some point it would actually amount to something. Sogood. Now let's see if they can keep this trend running for the next 6 weeks.

Serious comments
*That* scene was awful and the show continue to surprise me in a bad way.
The baby Ryuuko open in half was another thing that i wouldn't have expected.
The amount of "holy fuck" stuff that happened in this episode could've been spread in 2-3 episodes and that would've helped incredibly the pacing of the whole anime. Again Trigger, why so late you decided to show your card?
Now we have more than half the series that it's a complete borefest and the last 2-3 episodes that where actually good. Let's hope at least they maintain these level.

Odds are good. They have a small budget, so I guess they're saving it all for the most important episodes, all of which are now happening.
With Aniplex backing them? Oh ok.
You seem quite passionate. It's good to have love in your life.

La vie est juste drôle.
I'm not passionate, I just don't really have much patience for poorly stated "facts" with flimsy arguments.
That is its own passion.
I speak moon, thankfully.

Where it
Edit: Forgot to mention that the

We pretty much figured out every last twist the show had (their parents, Ryuko being life fiber, etc). I even knew Ragyo wasn't a puppet and that she'd just heal herself. Only the way it all played out was unknown, but it was definitely fun to watch. We're definitely in full blown shonen anime territory here with the whole "I've got new powers, suckers!" "Yes, but I knew that all along! Ahahahaaha" thing. Satsuki getting creamed was kind of a foregone conclusion or this anime wasn't going to last another 8 episodes.
Where it
goes from here is the important part, since we really have no idea and the show has pretty much laid most of the predictable cards on the table.
Edit: Forgot to mention that the
plan to have Iori....kill? Contain? Whatever the yarnball alien was really stupid. You know who would have been better for the job? Ryuko with her Life Fiber chopping scissor blade. Could have chopped that shit to bits. I have no doubt that is where we're eventually headed, once she gets the other blade and completes the scissors.
Well I just watched the episode with spanish subs and have come to the conclusion that I should have paid attention more during spanish class lol
Seriously though since I didn't really get some of the major developments that seemed to have happened this episode I think I'll hold off on impressions. All I know is

it was pretty lame of them to back out on Elite 4 vs Nui like that and Ryuuko getting brain controlled was pretty lame (I mean geez Ryuuko, you're supposed to be the main character...). At least she broke out of it though and she was giving Nui a run for her money which was a big plus

This has nothing to do with the newest ep, but what the hell. Have some Makotaro.
That would have required letting Ryuuko in on their plans though. I think trying to contain them and buy some time wasn't a bad idea and it's not like they knew that trying to freeze it would instantly call in the Suit Invaders.
Also speaking of chopping Life Fibers, am I the only confused by Ragyo's decapitation? I've been reading up and people are saying she's alive because the Life Fiber wasn't cut but I thought Satsuki's sword was so special that it could cut through Life Fibers in the first place

Letting her in like
the day before it all went down. Not exactly the riskiest thing in the world.
I think the implication is that
Ragyo's entire body is sentient/life fibers, so chopping off her head doesn't accomplish anything
The sword wasn't sharp enough to cut them all, Ragyo explicitly says that not even *name of Satsuki's sword* could cut that last strand.
I think the problem is less about it being risky and more about whether Ryuuko would actually listen to them. I definitely don't believe she would be convinced if they told her that they were actually on the same side
Alright that makes more sense

Great episode, the best of Satsuki in the entire show.

Amazing episode, even better than last week's. Finally Ryuko's streak of red hair makes sense.

I never use the word.
But this ep was cray.
Also, Rag continues to creep - dat

If they keep the quality of the episodes up, this could overall be a pretty good show that had like, two bad episodes. Okay, maybe seven bad episodes, but it doesn't sink in that they're bad until later.
But it looks like
But it looks like
next episode is going to focus on the Divas. We may not even find out what's going to happen to Ryuko with her heart outside of her body and everything.

What are the
going to do now?

So I guess it's pretty safe to assume now that
Ryuko and Satsuki are sisters..with the same father being Isshin? http://i.imgur.com/1BoQx2V.png
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
I'd more likely assume either that
Isshin was the dad in disguise, or was one of the scientists working with dad, and Ryuko/information on making godrobes was passed on to him as a last ditch effort before the dad got killed
I don't know. I'm still not sure how they'll be able to beat the scale of Gurren Lagann Pt 2.
Although, once I learned the Fibers came from space, I'm seeing potential.
It'd be fun to see the side characters/Mako get more attention, but it'll probably just be Ryuko getting her groove (or
heart
I'm starting to think
that Senketsu and Junketsu are totally different than life fibers. Life fibers don't seem like anything more than, well... fibers. The original fiber seems controlled by Ragyou. Other than she basically can't die, I'm not sure what it entails for Ryuuko to have them wrapped around her major organs Maybe that it gives her good synchronization. Are life fibers even cognizant? I think it's more Ragyou's desire to control the world rather than a cognizant life fiber. I'm starting to even think Senketsu is somehow Ryuuko and Satsuki's father.
