Bye Bye Earth?
Yep, I don't understand what the HELL is going on. Episode 3 of S2 just turned up the craziness and stuff I don't understand to 11. I feel like I could post spoilers and it wouldn't actually be spoilers because it's so out there. I have no idea what's going on! No, the OP pic is not a spoiler because you see stuff like this all the time. It still has the great music and visuals of S1, too.
Is anyone else watching it?

I'll have to marathon it, but it really takes engagement lightly

Marathoning it might be difficult in that regard, yeah. First few episodes of season 1 are kind of slow to establish the worldbuilding, although the visuals and music are top notch. It's a very unusual world and I feel like I'd need to watch it 5 times to begin to understand it.

I thought that it'd be more sensible as things went on...

Sensible in what way? The story definitely gets more and more crazy as time goes on.

I understand some of it, but I still don't get the larger picture of what we're moving towards and a lot of it just seems like the characters doing random crap. I'm afraid it's going to end up being one of those shows with good ideas that never amounts to anything because it couldn't put its own pieces together.

I could see that being the case. At the very least I'm enjoying the ride. The atmosphere is really good, with the fantastic soundbrack by the Made in Abyss guy (the one from New Zealand, or was it Australia?)
But, I really wonder what it this whole thing meant in episode 3 of S2. Is that little robot girl of herself her inner voice? Or is that supposed to be the "curse"? It sounds like maybe she's one of those fantasy archetypes of an "Observer" existence that creates a world around her, but maybe I'm reading too much into it.

It's pretty clearly the voice of the life support system that made the world to support her continued existence.

That seemed so direct that I didn't want to believe it. I hope it's not that simple because it clashes with the theme of being more, well, theatrical. I really hope it's not that direct, I want to hope it's a misdirection.

Hmm... so the "Gods" are a magic spell in a machine, which direct the people. Could this be the source of the robotic voice that interacted with Belle? It's NOT a life support system thing, right? Yeah, it's not! It's much more dramatic, it has to be!
The rabbit said it's "his" land, but that could just mean his homeland. Lots of talk of "doubt" this episode. I guess Doubt is the opposition to Belle's Reason? I wish I knew more about Alice in Wonderland because the rabbit stuck out as an obvious reference to it early on and I wonder if other characters are stand-ins for other characters. At least I know Belle would be Alice.
Yeah, I don't understand. Episode 4 has some nice music, though.

God IS the life support system for Belle, the people harnessed the system for its high-tech capabilities that they view as magic but ended up integrating their culture too strongly with it and now some of them want to end that system by taking the computer offline and letting the creations stand on their own. Rabbit wants the same because his land is stagnating, but they have different ideas on how to end it.

Doubt is the other side of Faith, he's supposed to be the other side of the new king who believes in god completely, but he's become a poison that seeks to undermine god from within.

Ohh that's right, rabbit is from another land? Hmm, if the life support system is God, that means it's directing things to be whatever is best for Belle? Does this go back to those weird orchestra battles where people were sent to die for no apparent reason? Were those supposed to be good for her growth, or to entertain her? I don't get it.

Anonymous 04/29/25 (Tue) 01:58:44 No.5805

>>5802
I don't think it's about what's best for her, it just wants to keep her contained and continue the status quo. That could be the influence of the system they've built around it, though. Rabbit wants to help Belle escape wonderland and thus destroy the basis of the established order while the other cunts are using her as a piece of their own scheme to destroy it.

That's just the way they do battles, I guess it's to highlight the extent to which order and predefined paths rule their mindsets.

Hmm, I see what you're saying. I guess this is partly a freedom vs. order story. Although it's very confusing to me. Maybe I should stop watching it when I'm sleepy.

It is being intentionally vague with the terminology to hype up the air of mystique, but once you figure out what everything is referring to it seems pretty straightforward.

In most shows this would be a "huh?" situation but I kind of just go with it. I mean, why wouldn't this happen? It makes sense to me.
I'd say as a whole the episode made a decent amount of sense to me since things were kept sort of, uh, rational and basic. Hooray!
But I have to post a screenshot before someone else does...

Hehe. It kind of had to do this, didn't it? A major spoiler, although we were talking about it in the thread already. Things are getting pretty serious and I guess it's starting to make sense, which I guess happens when it's all leading up to the conclusion. Now I need to watch this week's episode.

holy fuck holy fuck HOLY FUCK

I've been wondering if anything would match the climax of Season 1, which was around episode 6... and episode 8 of season 2 did!
So theatrical! So thrilling! So crazy!

I know there's only like 5 people watching this show outside Japan and includes me and one other person on kissu, so I'm just going to post it a bunch of clips from it here. I have to lower the quality a lot to fit these clips here, there's just too much animation!
Even if no one else will watch the show, at least give these videos some appreciation! MAJOR SPOILERS, but if you're not watching the show anyway it's not like it matters!

I'm a little disappointed the MiA composer didn't write a new opera song for this scene, but I guess a pre-existing one is alright. With how theatrical this is, I'm sure the lyrics fit.
This is Beethoven, isn't it? Well I guess that becomes more obvious in the next clip where the main part of the song comes in.

I really love the blend of music and theatrical stuff with combat. All the worldbuilding in the first season is really culminating here!

Like I said, MASSIVE spoilers especially in this last part. But... wow! What an episode! I hope someone out there will watch these if not the show itself.
I hope they can keep this tempo for the last two episodes! (10 per season)

Alright, other person on kissu that watches this: did you see it coming? That was... wow. So much of it makes sense now and I need to rewatch it. I think I should host a stream of season 1 and 2 of this sometime this year. If this came out 20 years ago people would be making threads of it today, but since it came out today it's going to be forgotten about with only a handful of people having seen it. The downside of 60 translated shows coming out every season.
Good music this episode, too. Good job, New Zealand guy.
