Shougeki Gouraigan 09. "Cycle of Rebirth"

[Xtreme RX]

This was certainly a very awkward episode.

All the sensual stuff was REALLY REALLY awkward... Glad no one walked into my room at those parts. But it was kind of interesting to see how that female figure thing made those chicks horny. And in return it helped the tree bloom to resurrect Rin.

Love triangle isn't working for me. No real tension, because I can't sympathize with it. It just seems like a Inoue-trope, a really strange way to tie the two characters together. The scene in the park, no matter how hilarious it was, really took away the mood. Seriously, it's justifiable with Gou but it was completely out of character for Jin. But I'm glad the plot is picking up.

The plot twist at the end though... WOW! That was super unexpected. Props to Inoue for that one!

This episode was kinda strange. It's clearly building things up for the endgame, but on it's own it wasn't particularly fun. I dunno, maybe I've just gotten over the fact that Black Condor's back in a toku but the character isn't doing it for me in it's own right?

where can i find this at and watch it?

TV Nihon are the only sub group releasing episodes weekly. GUIS have released their own version of the first three episodes but IIRC they made it clear from the off that it's an "as and when" release rather than a weekly thing.

This was certainly a very awkward episode.

I'm very glad to hear I'm not the only person who watches those parts of the show and thinks "yeah...this isn't sexy".

hence why I hate it when Kaneda is the director of the episode. he loves to show all these unnecessary orgasm or sensuous scenes for no reason.

So...does anyone know what card game they were playing? That's all I've got for this one.

I figured they were playing old maid?

The whole sitting back to back thing confused me, but Old Maid makes sense.

 

[Guardian07]

The sitting back to back while playing Old Maid is just them being aliens again. They're missing the whole point of playing that game, and sitting back to back clearly meant that it's only natural for them to see the other player's hand and see which card they're picking.
