Comments on: RD Sennou Chousashitsu - 04 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/04/29/rd-sennou-chousashitsu-04/ An anime blog covering a large variety of series, both popular and underrated.

Here are the points I picked up: - It's not just Zhouen, but most citizens who use the Metal to experience every possible kind of orgasm - The guy in the black coat isn't Zhouen's assistant, but his friend, and a member of the "Advisory Committee" - People can purchase different "Metal Avatars" to use when they seek pleasure in the Metal, and Zhouen got one from this place called Hanamichi. Apparently female pleasure is more sustainable and far more pleasurable, hence Zhouen's female form. Zhouen had asked the programmer that Souta arrested to add an illegal code into an existing Avatar, the simulation of a near-death experience in order to get higher stimulation, which is why he brain-downed when the power got cut. - Haru was able to break out of the pseudo-death trap because his consciousness was much stronger than Zhouen's. Hope that helps clear things up a little What I really want to know is if there's some trigger for Haru to assume his younger form, and whether his age in the Metal has any impact on his diving ability. Also, the whole implications of Kushima not aging - can they de-age Haru, does it mean nobody dies, how much of Kushima is actually original/human?? I'm eagerly waiting to see if the foreshadowing at the end of the episode will materialise later. Anyways, I'm totally loving Spring 2008 so far! Probably the best season since I started watching anime. Btw, does anyone here think Souta and Lt. Doujou from Toshokan Senso are quite similar?? Just watched this episode subbed, and I’d really encourage you to re-watch this series with the subs as the dialogue gets really complicated at times! Here are the points I picked up:

It is surely a fresh and interesting series … the production values and art really help to make it more appealing … it is healthy to watch something different from time to timelike RD or Kaiba ( my list is filled with shonen anime .. i like them but they get on my nerves some times )

The most interesting question in my head regarding RD now is the reason Haru aged that much while others didn’t age like him ( the director for example ) .. also i wonder what was that red thing that attacked him under the water gave him that coma .. it looked like those data concentrations from the Metal … but the Metal wasn’t made yet at that time .. right ?.. and the hint that Haru might return to his normal age outside the Metal too .. aghhh … too many questions .. sigh .. gotta keep watching XD

Oh .. and i love the OP & ED too .. just feel the OP is somewhat short !!!
