"This seems like a great idea!"

Impressions:

This episode got… uh… weird… by about the halfway point. "We need a fresh start on everything, so let’s go through this crazy-ass rebirthing ceremony where we bury ourselves in shallow graves in a cemetary for a few hours so we can sense the worms and plants coming to devour us. And then ghosts will talk to us before we will emerge from eggs, refreshed and new. Meanwhile, the cemetary is glowing like a light show." I did find it funny that Indian Girl was part of the main gang that lasted through the whole thing despite being nothing but comic relief to date. They should probably think about giving her an episode at some point so I can bother learning her name.

So yeah, it was a cheap episode where essentially nothing happened that hasn’t been covered before, but it was revived and then dealt with in basically a ten minute montage covering the entire cast in turn. But since it’s still Aquarion, this meant naked people floated through space while buried in a graveyard before exploding into the usual Aquarion orgasms of revelation that can all be summarized by "You’re not alone." Thanks, disembodied voice of Jin. Let’s get back to the sex-powered mechs. Well, and Kagura emerged from one of the orgasm-eggs too, making this about the fourth time an episode ended with the cliffhanger of him appearing. It’s starting to get old.

Everybody vs Kagura. Zessica’s still angsty.
