| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I was suspicious of that man who saved Renton. But I guess it was just me :P |
 |
| he was cuckoo. Very nice, though. |
| yeah...seriously...i kinda felt that they would learn that thurston made those things and then rage at renton for being his son. oh well seems alls good nice flashback too ;3 |
MaiZorbescu said: he was cuckoo. Very nice, though. Haha, yeah he was. Even though he was nice he gave off this creepy vibe xD It's probably because of Martha's desperation disease, since the disease also affects those who are close to the person who has it. Makes you wonder though why Martha fell ill after arriving at Will's birth place. I wonder what would have happened if they left the area. |
   |
| Actually, nothing really happened. And Renton is too lucky to meet such a friendly person in this hated world. |
 |
| I got the creepy vibes from Will too, haha. It was really nice that he saved Renton though... Really made me wonder how long Renton -had- been walking to get in such bad shape... |
| Interesting ep. I sure hope Eureka doesn't get Despair sickness. That would suck. |
     |
| I thought Will's devotion to his wife was really interesting... he's obviously in denial about it, so I can't help but wonder if it ever gets to him when he's alone or whatever. He can't be that chipper all the time, can he? I get the feeling we won't see Will and Martha again, though. Damn shame. |

| Will and Martha were nice and creepy people :p the despair sickness is also really weird. |
 |
| Yeah marta was creepy but i liked her :D |
| Will's voice actor sounds funny... It's a really good dub |
| Nice check this rad twitter out: http://twitter.com/fuckyeah_anime |
| This episode was touching. Will is a devoted guy to his wife, even though she has the despair sickness. I also wonder what Renton is going to say when he approaches Eureka after all of this. |
     |
| At first i thought Will is gonna turn out to be sm evil guy but then he turns out to be soo kind and nicee.. its jst bcz these days its hard to find sm1 that kind and nice and when we do find them it luks unreal cuz we think they r jst acting.. |
| now that is what I call being dedicated to your waifu |
 |
| Was that smirk of Martha real or just a vision? ~edit: nvm' it is a vision. |

Apologies, I just can't avoid to rant. |
| Damn, Renton must have been travelling for a while considering Ray + Charles are getting ready to attack the Gekko already. |
| Interesting detour, but still a detour. Will was cool, but I guess this was just a random encounter to let Renton practice his favorite hobby of telling people they are not as satisfied and happy as they think. |

goblinlady said: he was cuckoo. Very nice, though. Most can easily mistake enlightenment for insanity. He was a very wise person. |
| Hidden in Will's conversation was a very deep critique of the base for human civilization on that world. He is rebelling against the system (and the military power structure) in the same way the vodarac are. Actually probably in a more active way, since he is removing the metal spikes out of the ground to allow the energy to flow more naturally. I think we got another piece of the puzzle in this episode, so I wouldn't call it filler at all. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
goblinlady said: he was cuckoo. Very nice, though. And... why is he cuckoo? He seems to know more about the actual situation than those ignorant main characters. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| A nice relaxing ep. Plenty of world building too. This place is pretty interesting. |
| Hocus pocus? O_O this show is always full of surprises. That guy has some serious willpower to be able to continue taking care of his wife like that. |
| When Renton was perving on her boobs watching her breathe! lol |
| "We're nothing more than fools and whores with sad highs" |
| Will is such a nice husband. T^T |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| lols yeah.... renton seems to follow the typical ~ let's finally get some guts trend :P |
| I like the journey Renton is going through |
 |
| why was renton even walking in the beginning? At first I thought maybe it was because there were no trapars around so he wasnt riding his board but after that that guy max saved him he mentioned how there were indeed trapars. I liked the idea of how those giant metal pins were holding the planet's tectonic plates down. they must be strong and go very deep. that guy must be hella strong to knock one down. his weapon looked pretty interesting as well. |
 |
| Well he was a rather good guy, a bit weird though. |

I really liked listening to Will's talks, he had really interesting ideas and principles. IzzyReigns said: This episode was touching. Will is a devoted guy to his wife, even though she has the despair sickness. First time I cried in this episode, and it's not even for any of the main characters ^^ Will's dedication and positive attitude is to be respected. I like how he says that it's called the Desperation Disease because the people around the person become desperate, and Will hasn't, so it's not. What a great guy. And Renton...he leaves Gekko because not even talking to Eureka could make him stay, and then he wants to go back because he wants to see Eureka. Uh huh. Clearly he needs to think things through more in the first place. But I guess it makes sense because he's had time to cool off. |

My Candies:     |
| THANK YOU, WILLIAM B. BAXTER, FOR TEACHING US THE MEANING OF LIFE. but seriously, I didn't find him weird, I also thought he was wise, but it's a matter of opinion I guess. Confused on how Martha caught the disease, it was very sudden. . This episode made me realize that this series so far is about the journey, not the destination. There's been a lot of seemingly-pointless episodes, but they contribute a lot to Renton's growing maturity as well as the relationships between Gekkostate. Well, it seems as if Renton will return just as or while Gekkostate is under attack. |
 |
| No more lessons of life.. next will be the fight. |
| Will wins Husband of the Year T___T I also didn't find him weird, he was actually a wise man. I thought the despair sickness is some kind of virus. I guess it has something to do with the metal towers :o |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Great episode, I really liked the atmosphere of this one. I do wonder what will happen next! |
 |
| It was time for... Life Lesson with Will! What a weird guy he was :P I really thought that he was hidding something, but he's just a simple man who flee war with his love. A simple man full of wisdom, living a simple life. May they find a cure ༼ つ ಥ_ಥ ༽つ Next episode, they reunite for sure, or I'm gonna be real mad! May the power of love bring them together! (ಥ_ಥ) |

| Great episode. Will touched me, what a nice and devoted guy! |
 |
| The place is what made his wife sick, so common sense says get away from there...Will is a bonafide nut. |
 |
| Awww, I think that was a really sweet episode! I really loved Will and the way he cared for his wife. Such a sweet guy <3 I also loved the lifestyle he led. Although how did she suddenly become so ill just looking at that thing? I don't get what desperation sickness/disease is o_O |
 |
| So Holland finally is doing something. I wonder what causes the desperation disease. With every new episode I find the lore behind the world even more intriguing. I'm really liking the anime. Also, poor Will. |
| This was pretty interesting and I immediately took a liking to Will. The way he spends his days is truly bittersweet, tho. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| ''it's called desperation disease because the people around the patient fall into despair but i haven't fallen into despair so its not desperarion disease'' |
 |
| Pretty good episode again, even if it was a detour. Favorite two episodes of the show so far since they're ones I like with no real issues to point out and good characterization in both. Will and Martha were nice together, especially Will for taking care of Martha like that in her vegetative state due to the Desperation Syndrome she suffered. It just shows that love has no boundaries. Renton's taken their relationship to heart and wishes to truly be with Eureka now no matter what problems both he and her have faced physically and even psychologically. |
