If you aren’t watching Xam’d, good… save up for the MARATHON!
I swear to myself that I’m going to stick to batch watching the series, but it doesn’t happen. First its “I can wait for a couple more”, then it’s, “well I should watch these 2 episodes now,” then comes the despair when there’s no more… 4 should be the target.
Xam’d…
total loss of self-control…
…can you hear the Hiruko?
What does it tell you?
Yes it’s good, it’s excellent, though I’m missing Extrange’s posts about it, and I can’t tell if omo is serious or sarcastic in his commentary on the series progression. OGT, well, he’s obviously head-over-heals, bedazzled by Haru… it’s okay, I accept it, she’s lovely, but I miss that sexy long hair.. yum.
I do enjoy her presence, as the character has a lot to fall for.
Anyway, in light of Haru’s “change,” I don’t believe she has moved passed the Akiyuki ordeal, there’s just no way. Rather, very abrupt action of change says something to her higher-ups; she’s changed.
Why not make them believe it, and even more so, after a few weeks with that short hair, she will likely become faceless among the ranks. In short, I trust she knows what she’s doing…. folloing her heart in the path of least resistance, hoping that she can find the right moment to release.
We all know she belongs with Akiyuki, on the rouge postal ship. See it?
There it is. It’s called longing.
Another mention of Haru connects episodes 07 and 11, where we see the tower. I like the reference, and this is exactly why Xam’d is outstanding atm, this detail is significant, yet, there’s enough going on in the forefront that pondering it is useless; we’ll get the memo when we need to.
Here’s the evidence
What the hell, right? Says so much and so little in the coincidental moment.
I have faith things will be explained as the experience continues, because it’s one of the extremely solid series atm (too bad if it ends in 2009 I’ll have to wait a year to include in the year-end perspective).
I’ve seen up to episode 11, and I am going to try my hardest to keep from watching less than 3 episodes at a time. For a series that feels like the 4-season length is dawning, I think it’s better this way. Eureka 7 was digested in a similar manner, only with larger sets of 8. It definitely heightened the experience, and seeing how the episodes are acting like connectors, I believe they have greater sincerity in numbers.
Perhaps I’m just invigorated by episode 11’s Dennou vibe, but I’m excited no matter the reason.
