Shinsen-Subs haven't come through with their take on episode 2 yet, but the two existing versions aren't half bad.
Opening credits... hm. No one there who obviously isn't part of the Frontier Fleet; not really possible to point at any of them and say "here is the
Enemy du Jour!"
Careful pausing during the opening sequence reveals one of the new variable configuration Monsters and a lady who is, presumably, its pilot. (Do those things
qualify as Destroids or Battroids? Is it a Destroid with a Battroid mode? Ah, terminological confusion.)
Ranka's hair continues to mystify. At minimum, it seems to be under a lighter gravity field than everything else in the area. As we figured, she's
part Zentradi. (And has anyone else noticed, last episode, that she works at what seems to be a franchise of the Lynn family restaurant? ^.^)
Further confirmation that the civilian government and Spacy were expecting these Vajra things to attack; there are
cover-up protocols in place already... the galaxy is known to be a hostile place, why bother with this secrecy crap?
BOMBER!!!
...and Alto is a nineteenth generation Kabuki performer. That explains a lot. n.n; For starters, it looks like he wants to get the heck out of the family
business. Expect to see some nasty parental confrontations in future episodes.
Huh, he had no idea that his classmates were in SMS. This ought to be amusing.
Looks like they're dispensing with a long buildup and cutting straight to the love triangle...
ETA: On the one hand, we've got a massive homage to the original first couple of episodes, what with the Ranka-rescue and all. On the other, Alto is in
one sense a reverse Hikaru, as he WANTS to be a fighter pilot but there are all kinds of obstacles in his way...
