Garzey's Wing 2
Slowed down a little, but still doesn't make a lick of sense.
Real world Chris is still trying to seduce the ladies while giving his other world counterpoint tactical advice. His multitasking is impressive.
If it was Toyota Japan I could understand, but Toyota US...

Garzey's Wing 3
I am now going to watch every single thing Tomino has had a hand in. Even if he was just passing by the studio of an unrelated animation company.

It doesn't even bother explaining anything. What an amazing wreck.

Twelve Kingdoms 23 - So depressing... and not about our heroine, either. Again. At least this one is apparently just a one episode side story. But yeah, that was seriously bleak -- the ep. is about a king who, along with his wife, ran a reign of terror that had hundreds of thousands of people executed for nonexistent crimes, before the people finally revolted and killed him. Pleasant stuff. At least they only take one episode on this, instead of spending eight or more without even getting halfway through the story (see: the previous long side arc)!
Garzey's Wing 02 - That was alright. The slower pace worked, though it was a bit jarring after the constant, beginning-to-end action of ep. 2. It says a little more about this world, but only a very little more. This world's combination of normal creatures, fantasy animals, and giant dinosaurs and dinosaur-like beasts is interesting, you don't see that often and it adds something to the uniqueness of the design. Of course though, the terrible voice acting continues...
Garzey's Wing 03 - Woah. That has got to be one of the most incredible endings of all time, ever... that Tomino actually decided to end it with such utter, complete, entirely unexplained insanity... amazing, just amazing!
All in all, the show was completely terrible. Nothing was ever explained. All of the names were quite odd, I can see why the voice actors had trouble with them. The plot made no sense, and Tomino never attempted to explain it -- he simply went forward with the action without ever saying much of the why. The action's decent, the voice acting horribly bad (amusingly so at times), the plot such as it was delusional and unexplained... so much to simultaneously love and hate about this.
That ending, though, made the whole show. I mean, without it it would have been entertainingly terrible, but the complete insanity of that last scene really encapsulated the nonsense that is Garzey's Wing. Also, "humans are human", insightful philosophical statements there!
SO AWESOME!
So this was an original series by Tomino, the guy behind Gundam, etc. Apparently it's mostly classic Tomino, but much shorter than his average work, and without the "kill 'em all" aspect of a lot of his stuff. I haven't seen much else of his stuff though, so I can't say much beyond that. Apparently his stuff is sort of like this often, except a lot longer and with lots of character deaths? I don't know.

In the end, they defeat the head bad guy in fantasy world (with Chris getting spiritual powerups from several other characters, most of them female) and our hero Chris executes the dying enemy leader, and is disturbed by it and throws up afterwards (he did kill people before, but a defenseless person, I can see how he'd see it as different). Then we get that nonsense philosophy about humans being human, and then it leaves fantasy-land.
The next scene shows real-world Chris and his girlfriend on his motorcycle. Then a large tree appears, which is the tree that the fantasy people had been talking about throughout (proclaiming their nation under that tree would give them power or something, who knows why)... but it's in Japan somehow? Who knows, it's not explained. Then, the motorcycle takes off into the air, powered by Garzey's Wing. The end. Seriously.

Yoga's fight was too short, but Mikuni's was excellent.
Now that we have some idea of just what's at stake, I wonder how often Yoga is gonna play it safe. Also wondering if the OP was a bait and switch since Mikuni seems to be the good guy mentor type who isn't out to destroy people's lives. Maybe Yoga becomes the bad guy?

Well, they're using probably every sports drama movie cliche in the book, but I guess I'm just a pushover since it's working on me.
Too bad the animation still sucks for the drama scenes though.
Also, the preview probably spoiled the twist in the last episode. I though I told myself to stop watching those during all my shows...

This is the best show. Ever.

Yeah, it sounded good then considering the evidence only available in Episode 1 and 2, but with Episode 3 and 4 having aired, I feel it's safer to say there's very little credibility this will become a harem setting. I'll have to respectfully change back my position and say
Tsuruko is such a suave in Episode 4. I can't help but see that.

Tsuruko likes Yukiatsu.

I feel it's gonna be that way every week. I'm even looking forward to the previews sadly...kiryogi said:

Anohana 4 is when I got hooked. At first I despised Yukiatsu for being an ass, but I want to see what happens next. Next week can't come soon enough.
Finally, you can become one step closer to actually being a catgirl:
