<br /><br />Yay, recap.
Didn't watch it all, but i at least wanted to see Kamina again before the time-jump.
Not much more to say about it...

Can't wait for the next episode.

^_^; Yeah, I just ended up watching it raw...the things we've already seen don't need much translation. I wonder if they're going to use 'Happily ever after' as a new ending, or if it was just something special to tie off that arc? All that concept art was gorgeous! If they come out with an artbook I must have it! The preview at the end was a nice teaser, though...

I have to agree with Faust, it was a well done recap.
Saturday got to come faster...

Also, I have to add. I love the concept art from the ending. I hope when it end, there will be a art book for this series. If there were, I would buy it in a heart beat.

Edit:
There's a manga?

Nope. They might do like with FLCL though, and release a manga later on.

Not bad for a recap, I really liked them showing the artist doing the art for the episode titles because I really like the care-free pencil strikes that are used for it. Anyway... let's see how things change over seven years.

Oh god, why'd they have to choose some crappy rap music for the soundtrack?
I hate rap music.

This recap reminded me of something. I liked Viral from the very beginning.

I didn't like this recap much. Well, to be fair, I hardly ever like recaps, so this episode wasn't off to the best of starts. Mind you, the preview at the end looks cool. On to the next episode then...

Recaps are meh, but when you're recapping stuff this good, especially that involving Kamina, it's still cool :)

Looking forward to the time jump and new story arc :D

Actually I really liked this recap episode. It was nice after having so many episodes filled with crazy emotions, and though it was a recap it wasn't at all boring in my opinion. The ending with all that artwork was really cool as well. Looking forward to the time jump, Simon looks so cool :3

LOL Recap. Luckily I didn't spend a precious 22 minutes of my life watching it. Skipped thru the whole thing. Glad I did that.

Oh, and I gave it 1 out of 5 on the Poll...

So I hate recaps in anime, but I'll give them this...
GAINAX KNOWS HOW TO RECAP IN STYLE.
The way they strung the clips together with the music and the writing thing...
that was really cool.
The best part though has to be the end credits- the concept art was absolutely GORGEOUS.
Best recap episode of any anime I've ever seen.

Having a second recap episode was very unnecessary but I guess it is nice if anyone forgot a piece of immensely complex storyline... <.<

However it was done very well... or at least as far as recap episodes go. Looking forward to seeing the seven year time skip.

Honestly that was probably the best recap episode I've ever seen. Good to see Kamina one more time. The guy we saw in the prologue is obviously Simon now from the preview.

Recap episode SUCKED hardcore.
Nothing new to add to it.

A good recap should have at least a few minutes of new content to drive the plot forward.

It did the job of recapping...but. Who the hell cares? I just watched all that. I could have literally skipped the entire episode and I wouldn't have missed a thing.

I don't think a recap episode can get any better than this. Ending was awesom too, I liked to see concept art. Also preview to the next episode was promising. I can't wait to see next episode!

The bias in me will forever say that Gintama does recap show like now other, but that was enjoyable even though I only watched the last half. I didn't want to bawl over Kamina again, so I avoided it for my sake.

AHHH THE NEXT ARC LOOKS SO GOOD~! *_* And is that a engagement/wedding ring on Nia's finger?! *supa essited*

BTW, is that Nia's mother at ending song? she looks like an adult when with Guame, and what's shes doing at the puppets graveyard?

Who is this in the concept art?
Is it a scrapped love interest?

A good amount of effort was put into editing it, so it's not like they were being lazy. It's probably the best recap episode I've seen. 3/5

After episode 9, i skip alot of episodes.So i don't know what is all about.
Recap of Kamnia was good.
Sighs After hearing Nia's voice, she is stupid. Time to drop this show. Should not have Kamnia get killed.

Ok so I put this series on hold for the second time a year ago at episode 15, and I'm giving it another go now.

I still am not completely over Kamina's death, but I think I'll hold out until the end this time. It was a real heart-felt joy to see him again in all his glory.

Nice recap, everything came back to me instantly.

I'll see you all at the last episode.
