The government begins to use Ranka’s singing as a weapon against the Vajra.

Impressions:

This episode was really interesting. The two things that really seemed to be the most important in this episode was that Sheryl really is getting kind of tossed aside for Ranka. Although I still favor a Ranka and Altoh ending, I don’t dislike Sheryl at all anymore and I’m really feeling sorry for her. When they showed her on the bridge listening to everyone say Ranka is the hope for them all was pretty bad for Sheryl, seeing someone take over the spotlight like that. Also Ranka definitely seems to be a critical tool in fighting the Vajra. It seems her emotional state is important when doing so, but her singing seems to be the best weapon they have. I can easily see something like that turning against Ranka, having people force her into situations and not let her really do what she wants.

There’s something about Brera that really pisses me off. I’m not sure what it is exactly, as it’s pretty obvious that he’s not a romantic threat to Altoh and Ranka or anything, as it seems he’s her brother or something, but there’s still something about him that really pisses me off. More so then Grace even, which is odd seeing as how she seems way more in charge of the evil plots going on then Brera is. It seems that he’s just doing what he can to protect Ranka, but he still bothers me. I really hope they redeem his character a little bit alter on, which I can easily see them doing. However until then he’ll bother me.
