I upgraded KOS-MOS‘ equipment today to combat some new threats that have arisen in IRC land recently. 216467 will be of particular interest to committers now that the CQ season has started. I also retrofitted her with some new communications devices to resolve 216644 to help our field operatives find and provide information faster and easier.

While KOS-MOS is capable of many things, she can only do so much! So if you’ve got some spare cycles during the day, please consider dropping by to interact with Eclipse’s IRC community. :)

We had some very interesting developments in this episode in my opinion. As I predicted, they didn’t go into the details regarding Hiromi’s parents at all. But look at that, there are hints about it in this episode’s preview. Will we finally get some answers in episode 6?

We certainly got quite a few misunderstandings that scars different people’s relationship that is typical of these shows in this episode. They usually end up getting resolved properly at the end of the series so I still am hoping for a Shinichiro x Hiromi pairing at the end of the series.

These writers really know how to pull off these cliffhangers with the way this episode ended. I really don’t know what to expect in the next episode. I mean, what’s going to happen to Miyokichi? How is Aiko going to explain herself out of that awkward outburst? It just seems way too out of place, surely she has to be honest with herself this time around.
