gargantia-very-big-indeed-by-hisashi

Gigantic anime Suisei no Gargantia has proven so well received it is getting the cherished prospect of a second season.

The announcement follows the first episode of a reairing of the initial season on Tokyo MX – although whether the new season will follow on immediately is not clear – and amongst fans the question of a missing protagonist has also been raised…

    Maybe we get a prequel how Chambers was build or a sequel when the people of earth are advanced enough to lift Chambers and reactivate him. Really, Chambers is the best girl.

    Chamber was completely destroyed in the explosion, there's nothing to salvage. Ledo did escape in the cockpit when Chamber ejected him but I'm guessing that's not enough to work with.

    Maybe another pilot could end up stranded on earth and have Ledo there to help this time?

    erm... in the credits of the last episode, you see him underwater, covered by squid infants, but unmoving.
    he *seemed* mostly intact...

    I suspect the whalesquids and their nanobots will play a much bigger role in this new season.

    Also, the last episode hinted at a possibility of establishing communication between humans and whalesquids.

    Oh yeah forgot that. Went back to watch the explosion and it didn't even look like anything falls into the ocean. No splash or anything. But yeah they do show him at the bottom of the ocean you're right, hm.

    Chamber itself is an A.I. ..
    Maybe if you find a new body to matrix
    some version prototype hidden somewhere..
    The question is who will be the enemy this 2 season?!

    Yay! The obvious fanservice episodes aside, it was a very neat series, very fun to watch. One of my favs aside from the Academy City series (Railgun/Index), Attack on Titan, Fate universe and Psycho-Pass.
    (And Robotics;Notes, and Girls und Panzer, and Strike Witches (lots of plot there >><<), and Vividred Operation and Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu.

    Maybe the sequel will actually be entertaining and not just another weak story stretched over 10+ episodes.

    According to ep. 14 he mysteriously managed to un-self-destruct himself.

    pretty sure that was a side story in the middle of the series.

    They can always salvage something, but I'm more interested in Hideouse now and the new relations between them, I find this more fascinating than Chamber, although his translations and interferencing was quite amusing :)

    There are so many stupid things in Attack on Titan its not even funny. Its probably the equivalent of Naruto of this generation.

    Really hope their idiotic notions of how a slow death because you live as a scavenger society worshipping genetically altered humans as gods and ultimatively gunning for a slow and painful extinction of your entire species is preferable to war comes and bites them in the ass.
    I'd love to see those squids swarm their junk ships slaughtering them as they deserve.

    ah great! I'll get to see 15 minutes out of the 1st episode with AWESOME KICKASS anime before every thing becomes a treehugger Fuckup be one with lady gaia FUCKshit tale about abandoning HUMAN innovation as common diseases kills them all off when they reach their 24th birthday.

    Only good plot I see here is the humans and hideauze from space finally reach earth and an epic battle ensues. Whicu side Ledo (and hopefully a revived Chamber) chooses if any, is what I'm curious about.

    I got to thinking isn't this water world in anime form as I never seen any dry land on this planet they claim is Earth.
    But Earth doesn't have enough water to flood all the dry land so maybe they're on Gilese 581 d.

    Icebergs to mr. Char, icebergs to mr. Char.

    There's sufficient water in ice and snow-form to flood the Earth.

    Nope even if all the ice on Earth melted it would only cause the oceans to rise 186 feet.

    The flood all the land would take an ice ball the size of Brazil so you'd pretty much have to strip mine one of Jupiter's moons of it's ice crust then transport it to Earth somehow with out dropping it on the planet as that would kill any and all life on the planet.

    So, what happens to Chamber?
    I hope they get his memory core and merge it with Gargantia.

    This was actually a pretty interesting series. I look forward to season 2 and the development of the characters and how the progression of the relationship with the Hideauze/Whale Squid develop.

    The first couple episodes were great, then it was all down hill from there. Thought the ending was pretty lame and predictable... like I had seen it before.

    I liked it until they went all 'don't kill these pirates with laser precision, it's inhuman, let them kill some of us first while fire ineffectually back, killing some of them, before you chase them away so they either return to kill more or go murder weak people without a hero to protect them.'
    'Why'd you protect us in the first place anyway? You're getting pirates killed! I uh... I mean us in trouble, which is the problem because what we care about is pirates dying.'

    I'm sure it got better again after that, but it put me so off it's been really hard to get back.

    and lemme guess, the explosion referred to later that killed Chambers was probably because of their assnuttery 'humanism'

    Oh well, not like the world isn't doing the same thing with the Somali pirates, but this is a far more marginal society, there really shouldn't have been enough survival margin at all to allow the evolution of such foolish attitudes.
