The small klaxosaurs are super cute, the bigger version were not.

This was an okay episode but not a banger like the first two. Not much tension or threat, or really much going on. Strelizia is still better than everyone else, Dr Franxx is still a creep (without even appearing!), Hiro is still a mopey gently caress who needs to get some self respect, Ichigo still crushes on him, this show still really loves NGE, and still nobody can handle 02. Did we learn much of anything from this episode that wasn’t in the others? There’s the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it revelation that the last batch of pilots from Plantation 13 got party wiped I guess.

The smaller klaxosaurs (“saur” seems increasingly inappropriate title) are named for the Conrad discontinuity in the continental crust, just as the one from ep1 was designated for the (deeper) Mohorovičić discontinuity. I assume the big bad guys are Lehmann class.

Check out Genista in the bottom left. Someone is under performing in the sex robot, and I'm guessing Kokoro is pretty touchy about it.

Funny enough I had pegged Genista for being the mech that would be the first to have issues activating. Turns out that that couple just werks.

You need to achieve a fourth dimensional masturbation in order to even see it. There are things too erotic for the natural world to occur without some kind of dick wizardry.

I thought it was intertwined like a chromosomal pair. Since it's hard to argue which percent bar "penetrates" the other as the female bar would be occupying the same position the male is in the cockpit were these two people and they would be the ones penetrating.

Hiro’s problem is that he lacks any sort of attraction to his co-pilot. Hence 02’s teasing that perverts make better pilots.

Why does Hiro know what a pervert is? Or care that 02 sees him as one? They aren't even aware of kissing, but want to avoid being accused of perving.

Oni is just a general demon, Succubus is a subclass of demon.

Everything about succubus mythos fits though. They copulate with men in their sleep (Hiro was unconscious eh), and repeated contact can result in poor health or even death.

If there ends up being four like her in total, or even if the other three are regular Klaxosaurs and she's Lilith, we're back to that Kabbalistic Eva poo poo again.

Japanese folklore has a lot of stuff, but an Oni is most similar to an ogre. They are most famous for being strong besides being horned and skin colors like red or blue.
Succubus are known as Inma in Japanese.

From the episodes I've seen, I'm not sure if its fair to call this series meandering or slow in getting to a point or flow it wants to. Its only three episodes so far, but it feels both like it doesn't have true direction yet, but it also doesn't need to set off quite yet because what the gently caress is even going on in this messed up sex as warfare and survival setting? Its interesting schlock at the moment.

Mysteries only exist to be ruined, and personally I feel like Darling is hanging on to the mystery of why Hiro can pilot too long as is. It's not even a particularly exciting mystery, because we haven't been given any reason to care about Hiro beyond that he can pilot. So having why he can pilot be a mystery when the only investment going in is that he can pilot just seems like bad setup to me.

I actually like that they're holding back on what happened with Hiro because it works really well as a way of selling Hiro's frustrations.

Because he doesn't know what happened in the cockpit, he's become insecure that maybe he didn't actually accomplish anything, and that 02 just did everything for him. This sentiment is exacerbated by Zorome. To fix his insecurity, he wanted to prove that he's not impotent by piloting with Ichigo. But, he failed because of that very desire, since it made him incompatible with Ichigo's ignored romantic feelings. He continues to think that somehow his impotence is his fault, and he hates himself for it. Hence all the angst this episode.

However, seeing another guy be in his position but get destroyed by it has (hopefully) blown away his insecurity about piloting with 02. Or in other words, maybe he's not an impotent waste of meat, for what other purpose would be left in his life?

I think it's also important to note that Mitsuru seems to feel the same way. He wanted to pilot with 02 to prove that he wasn't the problem on his team. If he can pilot with someone else, then surely his partner must be the problem. It may be that Hiro blaming himself while Mitsuru blames others was the whole point of this exercise.

Keep on GOP rolling rolling rolling rolling.

I don't think humanity is wiped out per say but poo poo did go down. Also those people at the ceremony were not programs they were people uh... whatever you would call hologramming into an area to have a chat. More importantly there are other cities which persumably have people in them and based off what can be seen vis a vis guards and staff there are probably at a minimum enough people total to sustain humanity.



The hosed up poo poo is gonna be something else. still nasty, probably with the power supply they use literally killing the planet like so many other animes/games/ff7

I think part of MItsuru's problem was also hinted at in the opening of this episode as well as the breakfast scene in the previous. Hiro used to be the big man in the group of kids, and MItsuru was also trying to measure up to that since Hiro has essentially one-upped all the other guys by piloting alongside 002.

Isn't part of the base premise of the series? I recall reading somewhat that they discovered magma energy, they tapped the gently caress out of that, dug too deep too much and ended up loving up the earth's crust therefore leaving everything like a deserted wasteland which led to the current society of mobile arcologies.

No, yokai is the general demon, she's a red oni which is a much more specific ogre-like thing. Two horns, red skin (you saw it at the beginning), hedonistic. She's pretty much only missing the tiger skin outfit though that may have made the Lum references too blatant.
