HS - Episode 10

-------------------------------------
















I honestly hoped someone dug that bomb out of Reinhart and threw it somewhere far away, but the chances of that happening are 0.00000003%. I would have really liked to see Reinhart/Eva make a start. That guy's had it rough. The only real consolidation was that his wife didn't get any more money out of him, but that's hardly satisfying. Germany stated they had "other" research, so I wonder what that meant - are other Division 5 members alive?

The bomb shouldn't have started though without confirming Reinhart's death (circulatory or otherwise), so that's unlikely. His defibrillator is supposed to kick in too if he was in a weird rhythm, so any hope that he'll live on is actually pretty slim even without the bomb blowing up within him. I doubt the bomb would have gone off due to a roach proximity sensor instead, since this was meant to be a safe measure against humans.

The other members of Division 5 didn't look like they could be of much help transformed or not.

Maybe the light was from Reinhart frying his own bomb to ensure his team survives. Shounen nonsense ftw.

Really though. The roach surviving the lightning strike was simply ridiculous. The explanation didn't make it any better.

[Buffalobiian]

Yeah. That's basically saying that a natural lightning bolt is weaker than Reinhart's discharges.

edit: thinking back, if roaches know how to drive vehicles and throw slings, they should be familiar with inertia, unlike what Akira said earlier. It shouldn't be as if this was the first lightning storm on Mars either.

[NeoCybercoin]

Man, I was under the impression all of them were able to kill roaches and that's why they underwent the surgery. Now it just looks like they were all tests for the next generation. I mean come on...only Adolf was useful. And his second in command before she got splattered,

[MFauli]

Yeah, it´s ridiculous. Eva especially was super useless and super annoying. Cute face, big tits, that´s it. Sigh. Im kinda glad she´s dead now.

What I wonder is how this anime intends to improve upon Adolf. Usually, the freakier, more mysterious characters are kept for later. When we got an introduction to the next group at the end of this episode, they all looked rather generic. Some tough fighters and a girl with wings. Okay. That´s not as impressive as a scrawny dude with a skinless mouth and electric charge attacks :>
I fully expect wing girl to die super quickly, anyway. Her one advantage is her speed. Her body´s likely super fragile. One hit and she´s down.

HS - Season 2 - Episodes 01, 02, 03.

----------------------------------------












Episode 01: That was boring as hell. The first season was established on the premises that these roaches were touch as nails and hard to kill. Remember how they were supposed to have an amazing dash that screwed you over? Now they're shown here as cannon fodder.

That said.. episode 02 and 03 were entertaining. I'm cheering for Russia but I'm secretly hoping China has a role in the story for some time to come. It's not often you see China be a strong villain.

Episode 1 was a recap of the ending of season 1, right..?

Okay, I'll try my best not to exaggerate, but the art for this season is utterly terrible.

[Buffalobiian]

Episode 1 was a recap of the ending of season 1, right..?

Sort of. It inserted recaps into meaningless, boring fights that were a "continuation" of S1.

The art certainly took a dive. It's the most obvious when comparing Michelle's glasses. They were really cool in S1. S2 are just.. glasses.

[shinta|hikari]

I think the animation took the hardest hit. Did you notice how weird Akira's movements were? The timing of the sound and moves didn't match either.

And there was one scene where Michelle was talking, but her mouth didn't move at all.

It's a pity because I really like how this show kills off characters. It's hard to care all that much if they look like scribbles.

I actually didn't notice either of those.

Maybe Michelle's if she was in this deformed state.

[MFauli]

This is the worst anime by far. But I accepted that any now I watch it for the shits and giggles.

[shinta|hikari]

@Buff - I forgot to turn my eyes off while watching this.

[NeoCybercoin]

Figures human's start fighting each other even on another planet when humanity itself is at stake.

[shinta|hikari]

In the middle of battle against monkeyroaches.

It's ridiculous.

[MFauli]

I always wonder if this anime has "real" fans. I pretty much keep watching because I want to see what ridiculous silliness they come up with next, but if somebody told me to stop watching or else I´m not allowed to go to bed 5 minutes earlier, I´d have no problems with quitting this anime ;>

[Buffalobiian]

I'm a fan of the female designs in this show.

I'm also mildly interested in this. It's entertaining enough.

Episode 5:





Wow, that was a great episode. Bald guy's story was really touching. It's too bad he didn't manage to kill the Hong girl, who is the worst type of asshole. She is literally killing everyone including her teammates, yet she has the gall to say that she knows nothing about government and stuff. Her bacteria could very well end the human race because it's being used to cause chaos in Mars for a dumb power struggle.

[Buffalobiian]

I don't know of an "animal" that has a bacteria-based weapon that's genetic.

Oh well. The sob stories in this anime are pretty cool. Adolf from last season set off similar emotions. When I think about it that way, Alexander got a decent life before it ended.

[shinta|hikari]

Maybe she isn't fused with an animal but the bacteria itself. She just produces cellular level versions of her annoying (but sexy) self and kills people with it.

That'd have to be an exception to everything else so far, but possible.

The Chinese must have chosen their "they take off their clothes when they fight" candidates purposely.
