Noein - 16




Recap episode. Well, at least something that looks like a recap episode, as there is tons of new information revealed. I keep wondering how the creators of Noein manage to show these huge amounts of new information each episode.

Anyway, we learn the following things:
- The person Haruka's Father's working for is an incredible bastard. His role will probably be a big one, later in the anime.
- The battle scene shown in the first episode finally gets explained and we learn how Haruka was found by the people of La'Cryma. We also get a few hints of what might've happened to Haruka in the future.
- Noein makes a shocking statement in front of Yuu. I have no idea wether this might be true or not, but if it is, then we'll be in for some really awesome scenes, later in the anime.
- We still don't know who the man with the hat is, and why he keeps popping up in different timespaces.
- The Yuu of the current timespace finally manages to say what he wants in front of Karasu.
- Noein is not invincible.

The episode ended peacefully for once. There was no sign of a cliffhanger this time. I believe that this episode was supposed to be the mark between the first and the second part of the series. Some things we're sure to expect in the second part:
- The truth about Haruka. (duh)
- We get to know what the boss of her father is planning, and what his influence will be.
- La'Cryma also hasn't played all of their trump cards. They will certainly be coming back.
- The two researchers will probably learn about everything, and try to stop the further development of quantum particles.
- Optional: Tobi's child version.
- The meaning of that damned telephone.
- The explanation of how Haruka got her dragon's torque.

I think this was one of the best recap episodes I've ever seen. While I'd rather new content, the way important revalations were tied in with the flashback impressed me.

I wonder if we'll see the Shangri-La and La'cryma conflict take a back seat to Haruka's father's boss' machinations. If Noein is not invincible, and now that only two of the powerful Bird-named Dragon Knights are left at La'cryma, the main thread to the lives of the heroes could come from humans in their own timespace.

I agree with you that this looks like the turning point, although how Noein will be able to reach an even greater plateau is beyond me.

I'm believing that Noein himself will have a few more tricks up his sleeve. This show's named Noein for a reason, so I don't think that they would write an important character out this early in the series.

But you're right. This certainly was one of the best recap episodes to be featured in anime.
