Well, it seems my predictions from the last episode has proven to be incorrect since Ichiko and Suzume did end up joining up with Yumemi. I personally found the ordeal a little weird although I really enjoyed the part preceding it.

From what Gntarl said in this episode, it seems as though he might be off to give Munto a hand. I had initially thought that he would have some troops with him on that airship but it seems it’s just a one-seater.

Well, with only one episode of this show left, I hope things aren’t going to be too rushed in episode nine. Yeah, I know, nine episodes only, it’s pretty whacked up I guess. Although the first and second OVAs wrapped themselves up neatly, they did leave room for future developments. I’m not sure what they’re going to do here. I mean, while the first OVA made it seem as though everything was swimming, that wasn’t the case with the events of the second OVA. I guess, at the end of the day, they can always expand on the story or the universe more if they felt like it.

Is it time to change our releng game plan and/or how the downloads page is setup to provide more visibility for the p2 installer?

energetic: Hi all
energetic: Am I with stupid or does eclipse does not have an installer?
rcjsuen: energetic: The builds from eclipse.org don’t, no.
energetic: I would expect any decent program created has an installer
energetic: now i am 1. really wondering why eclipse oesnt have an…. installer…. and 2. wondering why I am discussing this
rcjsuen: energetic: Well, not Eclipse anyway. If that bothers you, then feel free to not use Eclipse.
energetic: but for #$%^&* sake! why!
nitind: You don’t need an installer.
Orangebat: energetic: m’eh, it’s one directory, put it in program files, it’s installed
energetic: an installer! something we have solved for years!
rcjsuen: energetic: unzip and go, pretty straightforward to me
rcjsuen: I don’t even next to click ‘Next’ or ‘Finish’.
energetic: so an batch scripts to xcopy files was too hard
rcjsuen: Just double-click my eclipse.exe and I’m good to go.
* energetic removes eclipse. Devvers coding an IDE without an installer, have high chances of being unable to code a decent IDE
nitind: energetic: Or, see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Installer
nitind: energetic: And you are making a LOT of invalid assumptions and conclusions.
rcjsuen: energetic: Good luck on your project using another IDE then.
rcjsuen: Perhaps we will see you around again someday.
energetic: cya guys in 2-3 years

So it seems that my hopes of finding out more about Gridori from the last episode has been dashed. I know that people usually say that people aren’t dead if you don’t see their bodies but I think we’ve seen the last of Gridori if you ask me.

I’m not sure about everyone else but I myself am a little doubtful as to whether I got everything that Munto said to Yumemi during the second half of the episode. Watching it again would probably help though I’m hoping more will be revealed in the coming episodes. Perhaps more context will be provided in the upcoming movie?

The next episode’s preview seemed to hint at Ichiko and Suzume’s appearance but I’m not going to count on it coming true as I just can’t think of any plausible reason as to why they would suddenly get beamed up to where Yumemi is.

Ah, this was truly an epic episode. I really liked the conversation that Yumemi and Munto had in the beginning of the episode. I think both voice actors did a very good job in that scene. Reusing the same music that they played during the end of the third episode also nets this episode major brownie points on my part.

With regards to the change in animation, I’m sure everyone can notice the difference in the amount of lines in the hair. I don’t really have a problem with Yumemi’s new design but I think Leica suffered quite a bit with the switch. I hope she’ll look better in the next couple of episodes.

Things aren’t looking too good for Munto although we can see he’s alive and well in the previews. I presume Gass is the one that’s going to save him although I don’t know how that’s going to turn out since Gridori was able to capture Gass. And speaking of which, since Gridori was flinging those black lines around, is he also an Outsider? He also put on a Munto face, so is he of the same dynasty/family or something? And what about the armour that he put on? I mean, the armour looks just like the two yellow and grey robots we’ve seen in the past. So many questions surrounding this guy, I sure hope that at least some of them gets answered.
