You think to yourself, "Oh, it's a series about warmechs in space, this could totally work!", but then you watch it, and nobody ever shuts the gently caress up with their imbecilic Philosiphy 101 horseshit and the plot doesn't make a single loving iota of sense, and you're like "Wow, this is a steaming pile of poo poo; what kind of dipshit takes a concept like this and just fucks it all up so consistently?"

That's the thing, Eva knows to dump all the philosophy bullshit after the battle, not for the entire episode before five minutes of it or during it or whatever the gently caress is going on.

LOL, speaking of Eva. "Mom."

Time for an awesome episode to make up for the stuff we did not understand.

We will get our last Nen Explanation for the arc. (Which is a rather cool one.) and the first part of an awesome battle.

Hmmm I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we see a lot of specialists since that sounds like a catch-all for "bullshit anime power"

No, actually. There's only a handful of Specialists in the series, and for the most part their abilities tend not to be all that amazing.

Just checked the wiki, and in the stuff that the anime covers there are only 8 Specialists, and two of them are minor villains. This is out of probably a few dozen Nen masters that we'll be seeing in the coming arcs.

He's a boring character, but I can't help but feel bad for poor old Zushi. He's working his rear end off but he's not a main character, so he ends up being the fall guy.
