7:03 - Stoner is a pretty funny name for a dedicated historian... Guy seems smarter than most of my professors
7:04 - Finally a good glimpse of the Orange. Looks like a massive harpoon type projectile. I'd always assumed it was just an energy ray, but a harpoon fits the theme of man versus nature much better...
7:07 - What. The. Fuck. Is this Limit of Life theory exactly? They keep referring to it like we should know... It seems to have no actual scientific ground to stand on...
7:08 - 10 dimensions huh? Looks like String Theory to me. 7th dimension seems to be thought, the first 3 account for physical space (action), and 4th is traditionally time. This would be M theory since Norbu talks about Vodareks existing beyond the 10th dimension (M theory holds 10 or 11 dimensions, Bosonic holds 26)
Based off this it seems Despair is like the phenomenon in Ghost in the Shell (and Brain Scratch episode in Bebop) of humans advancing to the dimension of purely thoughts through electronic means.
7:10 - goddamn the antibody Scabs are nasty... And I still can't get over the similarities to Festums from Dead Aggressor. Perfect holes appearing suddenly in physical space, directed at humans, seems to be manifestation of reaching 'the Limit of Life'
7:11 - Confirmed: Even Anemone has a conscience it seems.
End Part A thought - a very deep episode. I like.

Part B hope - Let the new military LFOs stand up to the Gekko-go, please.

7:14 - New & improved LFOs + typeZero look sweet. But i fear a DBZesque fireball duel between the 7 Swell and the Valhalla Swell as the climax of this show...
7:16 - Looked up the word 'Ageha', and in English it means Swallowtail butterfly (Anemone's mech is very similar to that)
7:17 - Dewey is one smart man. He should work for the White House
7:18 - not to mention an excellent public speaker... Love that pause and grave tone.
7:23 - Norbu explains why Eureka has been acting like such a pansy recently. It irks me much less now.
7:24 - And Eureka drops a bomb to end the episode...

Preview - Adrock heavy episode imminent

Overall: An episode relying on the strong themes and undertones of this series, this one still comes off excellently as we get the merging of lots of different (and previously underdeveloped) ideas and themes running throughout the show. Overall a most necessary episode.
