Phos being one of the last living things in the universe and also 100% completely useless, with no potential to even become useful at some point in the future, is an amazing cosmic joke.

the moment Phos tried to 'save' Cinnabar from falling in the first ep and her arms just pop right off made me laugh too

It's funny but it's also extremely depressing

Bad idea, you may be abducted by a moon monster.

Oh my god that episode was incredible. All the little action scenes were extremely cool, the snail was really cute and funny, and all the scenes where Diamond talks to Phos snail but it's really about herself was great. The ending ruled too. I think the snail is like half Phos now or something?

That said, I'm surprised they didn't assign her to be a scout.

Though who knows what's going to happen now.

she was basically supposed to be a scout last episode and hosed that up

I'm fairly convinced that there's something driving the gems to protect each other, even when it doesn't make any sense to do so, or even makes things worse.

It also helps that this show cheats a lot, it's far from full CG. But yea, the shows ability to have this gorgeous action then transition to something small and meaningful rules a lot.

She was so close to being useful and they snatched it away at the last second.

At the very least I don't think they're dramatically limiting the frame rate of the CG like the Knights of Sidonia folks do, or if they do I don't notice it.

Still sitting here kinda stunned about how the horrifying monster from last week turned into Puppy Trouble this week and it wasn't jarring to me in the slightest. The show balances a lot of different stuff simultaneously and it does it really well.

It turned into puppy trouble then led to an incredibly horrifying realization lol

Like last week's monster was terrifying but also exciting. This week was cute but just hurt my soul.

The scene where Antarcticite is taken is so jarring and emotionally distressing that I absolutely understand Phos being a very different character afterwards. It's also justified by how a gem's personality is related to their composition, we're not sure what part of the new phos is emotional damage or how their body has changed.

The contrast between Phos at the start, and the Phos at the end, is my favorite part of the series. You get annoyed with them at first but you miss the old Phos so much at the end, you can see glimpses of how they used to be but it's fleeting and makes the rest hurt more. Phos is useful now but that's not seen as purely a good thing, the show gets a lot darker overall.

It's really really interesting and I love this show a lot.
