[Aim For The Top 2! Diebuster] 2 (Rewatch)
Whereas the opener seemed a bit aimless by throwing Nono in media res, this episode feels a lot stronger thanks to the focus on the Fraternity and L'alc. There's actually very little of Nono in this episode; one would have expected the story to center around her adjusting to life with L'alc and her coworkers, but instead we are thrown into the politics of the Topless and the perception the outside world has of them.
The opinion seems to be divided evenly in half: either people want to stop relying on the Topless' due to their "expiration dates", or they view them as objects of lust, acting in a voyeuristic manner around L'alc when she becomes public. Whatever the case, this does not seem to be an ideal way to portray a population's image of their only defence force against otherworldly threats.
We see a theme similar to episode seven of Evangelion in here --the Topless are actually distrusted, and there are other factions who wish to prove themselves as capable of dealing with space monsters. This is a very stark contrast from how the heroines of Gunbuster were depicted, where all human effort was centered in benefit of our protagonists. Not the first difference between both shows, and certainly not the last.
. I'm not saying it's Ikuhara... but it's Ikuhara.
Other (less pretentious) shit:
Nono takes things way literally.

The bitter/sweet coffee talk is reminiscent of similar passages in FLCL, and the design of the captain here is surely of no coincidence. Diebuster is as much a story about teenagers versus the adult world that longs for the power of youth as much as it is about giant robots fighting space monsters. The borrowing here has to be intentional from Tsurumaki's part.
Ikuhara's touch is also prevalent throughout the episode. While I wouldn't call it a reference per se, the birdcage and coffin imagery should be familiar with anyone that has watched Utena before. Make of that what you will, particularly knowing Enokido's work on both shows and the themes of adolescence they share with each other (and FLCL, natch).
Also notice the shape of the Space Force ships and
their inability to save the day, up to the point that the captain's ship has to be saved by a Dix-Neuf piloted by the power of NONORIRIS
Other (less pretentious) shit:
Thankfully, Makoto Hyuga got another gig after the tang-fest that was Instrumentality.
Dix-Neuf looks surprisingly like a binding-free Evangelion in its cage in this shot. I blame the mandible.
How long can they drag out a stillborn horse?

There is no need for such recommandations cajun.
He will probably understand by itself what to do once he reach the ending and watch the other serie.
Plot ?
"one-sama i can't live without you ?"
That plot ?
8 ?
Oh, don't worry. I like doing it too, I just also like to nitpick.
And get in the chance to gush about a favorite movie.

Hmmm. I suddenly feel like
I don't know what I expected, but it certainly wasn't some dissertation on how to completely dismantle any tension that had been successfuly built up over the past ten episodes.
This episode was a call to apathy. I feel no hype going into the final episode. No questions I'm dying to hear answered. What would be nice, is if everyone in this purposeless anime dropped dead. I don't fucking care if its by Saya's hand, the elder bairns, or whether
Scratch that, only that last option will actually make me happy.

I can't wait for this to be over.
this is a drama about the lengths that aspiring actors will go to.

the remaining extras (ha, as if Saya actually protected a single person) stage a revolt and kill the entire main cast.
Worst thing about this episode: They didn't even utilize the
fucking info dump to explain the arm extension flap things on their uniforms. What the fuck are those???????
I can't wait for this to be over.
fertygo: Man, you really should look before you leap! Not just post random gifs like that.
It's not nice to spoil people, especially without context. At least it was only something from the next episode, but still...not very nice.
Suzaku is the one letting Kallen hit him, and she even asks him to punish her for doing so afterwards.
Yes, I agree. The dialogue is one of the weakest parts of the scenes in question. I just don't think the ideas themselves are implausible.
Exaggerated wording, but he does think of her rather fondly as a childhood friend and she did try to follow Euphemia's example.
Who else is remotely closer to him right now? Nobody that I can remember, at least other than the Lancelot technicians.
I'd say the whole deal with the phone call makes both of them come across as rather suspicious, since they were in fact lying to her.
Aside from what I've just said here and in the previous posts, both in favor and against your statement...my single biggest objection to that entire line of reasoning is that I don't think Suzaku doing any amount of evil makes Lelouch any less evil, especially since many of his most questionable actions are in direct reaction to Lelouch's own actions (and I say this as someone who doesn't hate Lelouch as much as you do, despite criticizing him a lot, but that doesn't make me hate Suzaku either).
Which hasn't really improved much in the meanwhile, considering Lelouch just went and killed a bunch of innocent people out of misdirected revenge right before this turn of events. It's not like Lelouch is suddenly being turned into the morally upstanding hero while Suzaku is the shameless villain making bad decisions and getting all the blame. If you drag both of them down, the result isn't Lelouch being cleansed while Suzaku gets all the dirt.
Around here such things aren't really considered spoilers. It doesn't really give away any major plot development, and probably won't make much sense until you get there yourself. We generally try to strike a balance between discussing and referencing freely while not giving away the big stuff.

Thanks for ruining the ending to The Standstill of Paralysed Pete.
I don't know if Corvo really minds, but from his reaction it doesn't seem like it pleased him to find that out just ahead of time either.
It's not a huge spoiler nor a major development, but in this case it still did spoil something from the very next episode that's the direct result of another scene already being discussed. Plus fertygo admitted he made a mistake, thinking it had already happened.
EDIT: I guess that's okay though, so I'll leave it alone.
Personally, I think of Blood-C as more like
MGS2 if Hideo Kojima despised fans of Metal Gear Solid and wanted to make them suffer.
The arm flaps on the uniforms are
Clamp's way of telling you that this whole thing was a farce from the very beginning and that you're dumb for ever trusting them.

Know how many copies the first BD volume of the first season sold in its first week, back in January 2012?
3,885.
The three BD volumes from the first season actually ended up averaging just over 4,000 total sales each.

For a show called Blood-C, this sure was grade A entertainment
First things first,FFFUUUUUUCK
Never again will any anime be able to make me cringe from violence. Like FUCK!
Who the fuck thought of all these ways
At least it was able to provide some degree of catharsis.
The twins, the bad boy, the class rep. I like that this show took those tropes,
Was I supposed to be experiencing these events from Saya's perspective? Because I felt nothing at class rep's
Except sheer hilarity. Said emotion was experienced in spades throughout the finale. How hilarious is it that the only person that she managed to
Truly, the only genuine shock in the finale was Saya actually
I cannot state emphatically enough how little pay off actually occurred. Every major plot point was answered by the same thing:
Who is Saya really?
What's the purpose of the fucking dog?
What was the bad guys true motive?
Btw, the guimave's
What was the message I was supposed to garner from this show? A hatred for bespectacled heroines? Cause that's what I got. The only truly positive effect this anime has had on my life, is making me question why Id waste time on anime like Blood-C
when I have genuinely good anime I have yet to watch. FUCK SAYA, FUCK BLOOD-C, FUCK ANIME, AND FUCK ME. I'm going to watch Strike Witches. That's a more fulfilling experience than Blood C could ever hope to be.
Heyo! This review, like my appreciation for the show,can only get better from here.

I will never be able to remove the image of those sadistic rabbits grinding people in a sack of their own skin.

My mouth was agape.Who is Saya really?blood.What's the purpose of the fucking dog?The blood will reveal it!What was the bad guys true motive?I don't know, but here's a montage of everyone in town dying gruesomely. Did I mention blood?Btw, the guimave'sApparently to dick around and ultimately cover an entire town in blood.there's blood in them too
What was the message I was supposed to garner from this show? A hatred for bespectacled heroines? Cause that's what I got. The only truly positive effect this anime has had on my life, is making me question why Id waste time on anime like Blood-Cwhen I have genuinely good anime I have yet to watch. FUCK SAYA, FUCK BLOOD-C, FUCK ANIME, AND FUCK ME. I'm going to watch Strike Witches. That's a more fulfilling experience than Blood C could ever hope to be.Ha! Like anything remotely like Blood-C exists
Watch Blood +. I heard its much better.
Blood-C is good entertainment with great payoff. Blood+ is a boring slog with no payoff.

Watanuki from xxxHOLiC, who as he says in Blood-C, works in a shop that grants wishes. Blood-C takes place after the events of the xxxHOLiC anime, though.
Those bellybutton shadows.
She is so fucking cute. Especially those little hair bow things. Chiho you lovely girl.
For a show called Blood-C, this sure was grade A entertainmentHeyo! This review, like my appreciation for the show,can only get better from here.
First things first,FFFUUUUUUCKWho the fuck thought of all these waysI will never be able to remove the image of those sadistic rabbits grinding people in a sack of their own skin.At least it was able to provide some degree of catharsis.the remaining extras could die?The twins, the bad boy, the class rep. I like that this show took those tropes,Never have I been happier to see the main members of a cast die, and oh so gruesomely.Was I supposed to be experiencing these events from Saya's perspective? Because I felt nothing at class rep'sapplied them to its cast members literally, and then amplified them until I fucking hated every single one of them.Except sheer hilarity. Said emotion was experienced in spades throughout the finale.

You made my day. Your sacrifice was not in vain.
I love watching people react to this show.
I actually bought it on bluray because something that trolls this brilliantly should be rewarded. BloodC is truly one of a kind.

Thank you so much for posting this when you did. Its done much to cull my anger from finishing Blood-C

Just curious, but who got you to watch BLoodC? They must be commended.
Have you seen Earth Girl Arjuna?

I'm quite sure it was you, almost 5 months ago in January, when I was still a fresh new junior looking for genuine anime recommendations after getting coerced into watching school days.
If you want something legitimately awesome, watch Mushishi.

This truly is a terrible place.
heehee. Well someone would have done it.
But you gotta admit that you were entertained by it!
similarly I think you will find Arjuna to be a fascinating experience if you watch it.

Oh and you think the writing's bad now? You've only started the downhill descent of this roller coaster.

I apologize on behalf of the rest of this thread. Unfortunately some people seem determined to push "inside joke" shows when people come in here looking for recommendations, hoping to see their outraged impressions. I'll give you genuine recommendations if you still want any though! I endorse Hito's recommendation of Mushishi, since it's probably my all-time favorite anime. A very moving, atmospheric collection of short stories meditating on the twisted relationship between man and the supernatural.
