Jesus Christ @ Gundam 00 24.
Just...wow. Didn't see any of that coming at all and my god I am just not sure what to say. Season break is going to be a fucking cliffhanger and I'll possibly cry emo tears because of it.

I was hoping that Mobile Armor's gold paint was just for looks. but it seems it has the Hyaku Shiki plating. boo annoying beam reflection.

so starting next season, the only GN drive suits are the mobile armor, about 8 GN-X's, Acres Flag, and Drei... and I really hope Patrick is actually dead. He's survived way to many blown up moblie suits.

I think its more just based on the fact that the MA has like 5 (fake) GN drives, so its GN field is pretty damn strong.

Also, Virtue/Nadleeh's and Kyrios's GN drive are still in one piece (for now anyways), so is Dynames's and Exia's. I'm guessing they are somehow going to be saved and rebuilt or remade with new Gundams. The fake GN drives however will probably get mass produced by next season since it'd be stupid for none of the power blocs to reverse engineer and recreate them. And yes, I too hope that Patrick and Lockon stay dead, but I'm guessing Ali is still alive somehow.

Yeah. The main Gundams' GN Drives will stay in tact as long as they don't you know.. explode in the season finale. Also, I hope Patrick and Lockon stay dead. Patrick I could give two shits about honestly as he was comic relief, but Lockon's death is supposed to mean something. If you had him make a come back, then it'd just ruin that feeling and make that whole episode meaningless.

I don't think there are that many GN-Xs left. At the beginning of the fight, there were 12 of them, and you see 9 get destroyed in this episode, so unless they didn't use their entire force, there's only three left. I thought that they sent every single one of their GN-Xs up to fight the Meisters.

[octopus]

I'm confused, why did it say that Clannad 22 was the final episode? Because with a preview and all it didn't seem so finalé-ish, besides that I heard that Clannad was only at the half way mark as well. If that was the final episode it was pretty lackluster and everything until after the play had finished was pretty painful to watch.

They only animated the first half of the story. Who knows if there's a second season planned.

(Kinda) Spoilers:
There's a supernatural element in the story that they haven't really touched.

[Elcura]

Wow that sucks, how disappointing.

yeah, I didnt count, theres about 3 left. Soma, Sergei and an unnamed?
you know, I'm thinking the new season is gonna start with a time skip. all the survivors of this battle doing their own things elsewhere

and what role is that chinese princess lady supposed to be playing agian? All she's been doing so far has been keeping her distance from afar and trying to back the winner of the disputes.

She's just another "observer" sort of like Alejandro was before he went batshit crazy in a sense. She's probably trying to preserve some things for the Meisters of the future or something and may want to keep Nena out of harms way as she knows what she's lost. We don't have much history to Wang/Wong, but I'm sure her parents were apart of the Celestial Being thing and they died during it or something. As I've said, she's an enigma to the series. We'll probably find out more about her in the second season.

As far as the second season goes, I agree. I've been saying it'll probably be a time-skip to after Saji is out of college or something and is working where he'd dreamed of working. I'm sure Louise will keep in touch with Saji as he makes his way through school as she'll have to eventually go back to school herself and I think she'll play a part in something with Saji too. I just don't see their little dance of looove to be over. (Okay, that's just a fan wishing for those two to be alright, but I dunno. This director is too hard to predict =[.) Setsuna will be older and wiser (I hope) and most likely the lead Meister. Not sure about the rest of the characters. It has me really looking forward to the continuation six months from now.

[Quixotic]

China-princess is freakin useless and I hope she dies (but not her assistant Hong-Long, he can stay). She just stands there in some fanservice outfit and asks "GEE I WONDER HOW THE WORLD WILL CHANGE NOW?" every other episode.

As for my season two predictions:
- Saji will be some sort of engineer in space like he promised, and he could possibly end up working with or just meeting up with Billy Katagiri; makes a lot of sense since he is also an engineer of sorts.
- Feldt may possibly become a meister? If so that'd be awesome cuz I :nikkei: Feldt Grace!
- I'm hoping they don't kill off Allelujah/Hallelujah and put some more development into his (well...their) character development.
- Still hoping Nena dies a horrible horrible death.

[Rivero]

I gotta say..Clannad 22 dissapointed the hell out of me for a final episode. I was mostly upset at the fact that they didnt end it with a kiss scene. Felt really rushed in a way also and the story was kinda corny about the other "empty world".

I went back to Shippuuden for the one hour special and god damn does it take a long time for the panel to move its way up to Sasuke..

I'm hoping they end Kaiji in a more epic way, haven't seen what this episode is like yet but I loved how they ended E-Card.

[aers]

24 is good.

btw to all of you that like caramelldansan (which i hate):

[ 01:03:26 ] [ speedycake ] it was a complete mistake that it became popular though

Since I have a ton of homeworks due for tomorrow, the only logical thing to do was to pick a random anime series and maraton it. I ended up watching Shigofumi ep1 to ep 11. Good show in overall.
This week was good on anime for me with Baccano and this, really wish there was more 12 episodes series out there because they rarely fail to deliver. And if they do, they are over by the time you get bored/annoyed.

And I just learned xxxholic season 2 is starting soon. I'm probably going to be the only one watching it here, but I can't wait.

Naruto anime is awful recently. I generally avoid bashing stuff like this, but god, it's not human to force fan to watch this? Is there anyone who actually enjoy the anime? (with the exception of the rare well animated episode once every 12 weeks). Even the preview for next episode was composed entirely of flashback...tell you how much it will progress.

[BerenTebogo]

Did I miss something or did they really give us no background on the gold battleships origins?

Isn't that the ship... those 2 guys were in trying to hack the uhh... system the gundams use to run? Thought it looked the same just not gold.

@ 00 24

What a sad episode ; ; I didn't see any of that coming.

[Elcura]

I thought the Clannad movie was better than the whole series, though the series did have some nice moments in it I'm pretty letdown. They should've covered 1 arc properly instead of doing 2-3. At least now that the series is over the OST will come out.

It really depends on whether there will be a second season (or an OVA) or not.

If this is the only season of Clannad that will ever be out, I agree with you above. They should have modified the story so that the whole story can be told in one season. However, if a second season was planned, they really had to do it this way because the original story will not make sense without the arcs.

It's actually a lot like Higurashi (you can make a pretty fair comparison about the supernatuaral elements of the two shows). Without the multiple arcs, it would not make sense to tell Rika's story of defeating fate.

Anyway, a translated beta of the Clannad game is out there on the Internets so if you're interested, it's a very good game/read. Be prepared to cry though...

Lol? They've really been setting up Saji to be a future antagonist.

Though I am hoping for a second series or generally something more, I'm not expecting a great deal.

Maybe, but with the way the series has gone, you can't rule anything out. As a fan, I hope Saji will be grown up in the second season and I hope as a fanboy that Louise will be part of it, but I doubt that'll be the case. As far as will he be good, or will he be bad... now that's another story. With all of the traumatic things that happened around him, you'd think he'd go crazy during his schooling, but that's really too predictable so that's why I think they'll do something different with Saji since the series hasn't really been all that predictable.

Yeah, I literally stopped after that "DBZ Style" fight between Orochimaru and Naruto.. and is it me or is the whole "bonds" crap seem really corny? Anyways I'm waiting for them to start getting to the good parts in the manga which should be soon...I hope.

[Elcura]

Started watching Red Garden (I know old, but found a batch torrent so ) and while I like the style and the story so far, it's absolutely rediculous and hilarious when they start singing. I didn't know Americans sing whenever they're sad or troubled rofl.

[Man0warr]

The Clannad Movie was really bad, Nagisa was totally opposite of how she is in the anime/game, and the ending wasn't right either.

Pretty sure they are going to do a second season of Clannad TV that will cover the After Story with Nagisa, hopefully with the happy ending.
