EPISODE REVIEWS
Slower setup ep, but it does a clean job showing the historical baggage of the universe. The corporate meddling behind the scenes shows just how messy the power structure really is.
You can skip the narration at the start since it is just a quick recap of the key scenes from the previous episode. There are some information about cyber newtype and newtype in this episode but it's nothing new if you have watched the previous titles. Another great soundtrack was played when Unicorn was launched unto the Laplace wreckage, it perfectly suits the discussion between Banagher and Daguza
So fsr this is the most subtle yet touching episode as Banagher began to sympathize with so many people around him like Marida and Daguza. The found family trope is strong within this one, and I didn't expect it to come from a side character too. Great episode, it really brings to perspective of who's right or wrong, none of them are.
