Ah Sunrise, and your hatred of children without parents.

Impressions:

Oh, is it time to completely rewrite the Earth terrorist faction? For the last 14 episodes, we had the one sympathizer girl and everybody she interacted with and every member of it was a ranting mad lunatic, with their every plot being indiscriminate bombing of innocent people, but sure. Now they're all noble warriors who believe in honor and fighting fair. Just ignore the spiteful beating at the start. And how they immediately start screaming in panic the very second the enemy shows up. For that matter, why do they even have these missiles and bullets when these generic enemy bots are completely immune to everything?

And unfortunately, that was the whole episode. Guel deliriously mumbling to himself while some more kids are thrown into the meat grinder. Everybody else is busy in meetings, either to have their head kicked, to be told money is power, or to just be told to appreciate daddy more. I don't even know that I could say Guel even came out of watching some kids die any improved either. He was barely even on-screen, and let's not forget that he's a lunatic sadist failson wannabe rapist. Sadly weeping into a kid's corpse and then redeclaring his devotion to the father he accidentally killed is maybe step one of any kind of redemption, unless it's instead just him becoming even more unhinged.
