The first 3 episodes of this are now available on my VOD channel. I’m glad that this is getting added, since I didn’t get to finish it when it was on the CN website.
I’m really liking how this is all starting to come together now.
Currently on my VOD, we’re up to Episodes 31 & 32.
Zed & Noah have had their battle and Noah has told Zed that he has always despised Zed. Of course, we know this isn’t true, but Noah has been brainwashed by those Neotopians. Poor Zed is really confused, because he just wanted a piece of home, and he thought that Noah was it. Hugh has completely lost it because Ameer Ghaul (sp) refused him. And, in the previews, Noah thinks he sees Zed’s mom… ooooo, suspense!!
Interwoven storylines make the best anime!
I have to catch up on some of my VOD episodes, but I am really enjoying this show more than I thought I would. I can’t wait to see how the big joust ends.
I wasn’t sure if I’d like this from the descriptions posted on the old site, but now that it’s been on and I’ve watched it, it’s one of the better shows running, really. The complex plot is interesting and has enough going on that it’s not usually predictable at all.
Does this one wrap up in 52 episodes?
It’s 51 episodes.
Ok, just watched Eps 33 & 34…
spoiler
Zed and Roya are back in Templar, Zed’s trying to figure out why he can’t ‘feel’ Amil Gaoul, even though he has his shard. Roya tries to tell Zed that they are safe from Neotopia’s ‘Absolute Law’, but just as she gets to him, she see that he’s been taken away by the Neotopian Guards! That really pisses off Zico, who’s ready to take off and give Hyrum a piece of his mind, until he finds out he’s forbidden to go to Neotopia! So they lock Zico up!
*
Meantime, Zed releases Rambos during the shift and as he and the guards land in Neotopia Rambos is ready to go. Zed manages to fight off 4 of the 5 guards and falls exhausted to the ground. He doesn’t see the fifth one come up behind him. Luckily he is saved by Herrick of Ulbaks. Herrick then tells Zed the tale of how his people were banished from Neotopia 10 years ago and how they developed their technology and now they want their revenge. He is also looking for his sister, who shares a birthmark with him - he doesn’t know it, but it’s Kira. Zed goes off to think about it.
*
Over in Neotopia, plans are being made for a celebration to commemorate Hyrum’s 10 years as a ruler. He elects Kira and Noah to be in charge of security for the event (with Diana watching over all, of course). Sagiri and all of her schoolfriends are going to be in the parade and Noah has been encouraging her to learn her part.
*
In Tusk, Hugh asks the King of the Tuskans to ally with him and wage war on Neotopia. The advisor, Deucem, agrees, and suggests to the King to lead his troops into battle. The King is reluctant, but agrees. Hugh, ever maniacal, is immensely pleased.
*
Hyrum learns that Zed is with the Ulbaks and sends Kira and Noah to apprehend them all. They rush off on horseback and, during a break, Noah learns that Kira’s family was banished due to ‘Absolute Law’ but she was held back because of her strong ability. She shows him her birthmark and tells him that she remembers her brother vaguely; then she brushes it off. As they ride on, they see Beastmen in the air, flying toward Neotopia. Noah tells Kira to ride back and warn everyone, he will take care of Zed and the Ulbaks, so she does.
*
Back in Templar, Roya pleads to see Ziko, to no avail. In Neotopia, the parade starts. Zed sees the Tuskans flying overhead and starts back toward where the Ulbaks are staying.
*
Noah approaches the secluded house where Herrick and the Ulbaks have sequestered themselves. They suddenly attack him from all sides. He pulls out his sword and releases the whip from it, defeating most of the Ulbaks. Herrick then appears and fires at him with his weapon, but Noah avoids all of them and he knocks Herrick unconscious. Zed runs up and yells at Noah, who then tells him that he’s taking him in because of the law. Zed sighs and they start battling.
*
As Kira nears the city, she meets up with Elmelda and the two face off.
*
In the City, the Beastmen start their attack, they swing down and pick off members of the parade, as well as bombing houses in the area. Taken off guard, members of the security force start firing blindly into the air. The children in the parade start to run in all directions, but Sagiri just crouches down and calls for Noah.
*
Zed and Noah near a cliff in their battle and their attention is diverted when they hear and see Zymotians shifting below. They are both amazed to discover that the Tuskans and Zymotians have started a war against Neotopia, which they can now see is in the midst of battle. Nudeu startles them both by appearing behind them.
I really liked these two episodes a lot - and what the heck is up with Amil Gaoul? And poor Sagiri! So many questions!!
