Megaton Musashi season 2 ep 1: New Beginning
So after waiting for nearly a year, now Megaton Musashi is back and continues to finish what was left unfinished. As everyone knew, at the end of season 1 Arshem has been separated from Yamato and has met a new character on the surface of the barren earth named Victor Jaeger. To summarize this episode 1 season 2 in one sentence, I would say it contains a lot of information, as well as new characters.
Starting with Victor, a character has appeared at the end of last season now we can see more of his personality as well as his role in the storyline. Solon’s guardian, the man in a situation trying to save the people left on the ground. Solon is like a slum but here it is the remaining shelter above the ground in this post-apocalyptic setting, and that’s why there are so many problems here, from sick people, to lack of necessities, there are even rogue elements. Victor like the embodiment of the keeper of order, well his last name is Yeager, maybe that is the decisive factor of the leader, but seriously, he has the same vibe as Woolf or Asemu when he was a space pirate.

Next, a new cast of characters appeared and the faction in the film was increasingly expanded. Such as new soldiers under Grieffas like Mishis, Yugura and Shinoag, Kuze and Shizuka the mysterious people behind the school and last but not least Adam and Eve those who run away from the earth before. This can be confusing for viewers and is a double-edged sword when it comes to story development, but if it can be developed and distributed in reasonable way it will be great, hope OLM studio will know how to adjust It’s reasonable that even making this season 2 24 episodes would be enough space for the series to toward to the logical direction.
About the music and animation of this episode. To be honest, the fps of each scene is not really good, especially the fps of wide shots have more obvious signs of drop than close up shots and this makes the viewer’s eyes quite uncomfortable. On the other side, the music part of episode 1 really satisfied me. The opening “Eiyuu no Uta” performed by Kodai Matsuura, the beat with piano really gives me goosebumps very shounen vibe. And the ending “Mayoeru Hitsuji-tachi no Banka” by Mana Kobayashi, with sad and quiet music tone very suitable to princess Arshem. In the ending 1, through the choreography, you can see Arshem’s psychological intensity, but in the 2nd ending, she seems to be controlled by a puppet. What will be happen to fate of princess Arshem, I’m really looking forward it.

In conclusion, episode 1 of this season 2 has a good start, giving us a lot of new information, lots of new things to look forward to. Is Victor and Momoka related? Hoshino-san with her secret is a Starfield singer (I knew it like some kind of mini quest and fan service in game but her song really dope and the way she performed is bang). And Teru, he better won’t mess up anything because of the baby. I hope the series won’t have any problems about the plot in the future.

Ep 5 crank up the romcom. And we see a returning face from literally the last ep. A sinister plot will test Kanata and Noir’s connection.
The focus character of this week is Anri Minami. She show a lot of personality and determination in this episode. And we revisit the rule #1 when it comes to ancient artifact/god: just leave them alone.
Ep4 show us a new and determined Kanata. But as they say, an overhyped rookie will make rookie mistakes. But thankfully Kanata meet someone new to teach him a thing or two!
Emi shows us why she’s the waifu of the show. Courageous with a sense of justice, but all the while also very much a maiden at heart. And also the first team-up between Blazar and Earth Garron!
Episode 3 introduces us to the Char Clone of the series. However, the place we met him is pretty unorthodox. As well as his Coffin and Magus. Let’s welcome Kurokamen!
Its name is Earth Garron! The debut of SKaRD Mecha Weapon went both awesome and horrible as Blazar swoop in once again. The comic relief is funny though!
Episode 2 of Synduality continues to keep up the interesting plot and decent character development. And a new bond was form between Magus and Master!
With enough passion, you can accomplish anything. Young animator AsH has proven it with his indie mecha anime that blow us away with its potential. That is Volicia of Pluto!
We went from action-packed spec-ops to comedic hi-jinks with a middle-aged man and his team, then back to action-pack again. Blazar is starting off very strong this season.
The new couple is in the house! Synduality: Noir debut with a good episode with great worldbuilding and gorgeous animation. We’ll see if this becomes Bandai’s new money-maker.
The new Giant of Light debut in a dark and violent episode. A unique atmosphere along with a new style of protagonist that send the whole fandom into monke!

The Witch from Mercury is real! Take back the bride, ride the Gundam, stop her mother – Suletta is charging through to her family with Miorine in tow!
Strap into your Permet score because the show is going into overdrive! So many things happening at a breakneck pace. However, the debut of Quiet Zero and Suletta’s new resolve are the highlights.
Let loose the horrors. When Prospera told Suletta to live freely at school, surely she didn’t mean a bloody academy with the student bodies dropping like flies.
Ah yes – a peaceful protest and negotiation – a term non-existent in Gundam. Tension run high as Prospera enact her plan and stir up conflict just when Miorine and Guel found out the truth about Shaddiq.
Betrayal upon betrayal. Suletta found her courage thanks to her friends to confront Mio, but what she received was the cold hands pushing her away by her loved ones.

It’s happy time…but trigger-happy. The school is facing a threat that might undo everything. And Prospera is dropping another bombshell on us.
It’s back to school time…or so you thought. Season 2 of G-Witch started off explosively with duels, conspiracies and almost a…casualty?
The final episode that resolve as much as they can, while still leaving a ton of questions unanswered. But as far as the main characters are concerned, this is a happy end!
The finale to a lackluster saga. A mastermind revealed and defeated in the most uninteresting way, and a result that didn’t really carry much meaning.
An episode filled with losses, pain and grief. The loss of one led to change in another. Arshem and Yamato was separated by a wall seemingly insurmountable.
A heartwarming expedition with just 2B and 9S, but it maybe their last. With 9S venturing too far in his quest for truth, he landed himself in hot water.
Our heroine returned to the capital, but accompanied by not-so-bright people. As the capital was surrounded by mindless robots, a sinister plot took place.

Here comes the hero! Lavi met up with her sworn enemy and witness his amazing power. What will she do?
This series is cutting it thin, with both audience’s patience and the production quality. Ep 3 is no worse for wear compared to 2.
