EPISODE REVIEWS
The tension built up faster in this episode, which made it more interesting to watch. I enjoyed the improved pacing compared to the first episode, and I liked how the character conflicts started to stand out more. It felt like the story was finally starting to move. Worth watching if you want a faster-paced continuation.
It's very slow, Nazca is kinda annoying and I don't think Maetel needed to be naked and moaning for the ceremony.
Nazca revenge mission gives him a clear motivation, and his growing connection with Maetel adds emotional weight to the story. The political tension on La Metal is also ramping up, and the Queen's generals are clearly hiding something. The episode sets up the larger conflict that will define the series. If you're a fan of Leiji Matsumoto's work, this is where the OVA starts to find its rhythm.
