Fantastic, Nick Fury, Namor, and Bucky Barnes who were all greatly affected by what Cap's return represented for their lives. If you’re looking for Ogone energy in Tokyo, Shinjuku (Kabuki-cho specifically) is probably as good a place as any… According to founding Avenger and former financier Tony Stark aka Iron Man himself, it was Captain America joining the ensemble that led to not only the golden age of the team but the true start of what would become the greatest superhero team on Earth.Author’s Note: I’m pinch-hitting for Zephretiti on CE for the next two weeks – he’l be back for game 11. If only science could put Captain Earth and Sidonia no Kishi together, like human and gauna – combining their best elements into one super-being. Well – maybe not a super-being – but a super-freaky one anyway. I don’t know what that result would look like but it would surely be interesting at the very least. The strengths seem to complement the other’s weaknesses awfully well, and I suppose it’s just that much more of a reminder that shows that manage to get everything right are an extreme rarity. I like Sidonia no Kishi most of the time, and I like Captain Earth most of the time too – though in the latter case that’s in the face of a pretty stiff headwind in terms of English-language viewer opinion. An episode like this one is a good example of both the charms of CE and its limitations. #Captin earth full#Īkari Yomatsuri is a pretty shameless character – stick a cute girl in micro-shorts and belly blouses and pump her full of tech wizardry and otaku slang and it’s going to pretty hard to completely whiff with anime audiences in this day and age. But she’s a lot of fun regardless, and while I find her less interesting than the more distinctive and edgy examples of the trope (Frau Kojiro springs to mind) she does bring a lot of energy and humor to the episodes that strongly feature her. I’m also finding that I like Captain Earth better when it’s set in Tokyo than Tanegashima. The familiar urban settings are somehow a more interesting backdrop for the unfolding battle-of-wits between the humans and Planetary Gears – a battle which, so far, is pretty close to a draw. Globe manages to stymie the PG every time they try to activate a Kill T. Gang on Earth, but it’s the aliens who are driving the action. They’re always a step ahead, for example, when it comes to getting to the Designer Children – and in this case that means Ai ( Yamamoto Nozomi) a popular idol riddled by insecurities who’s just been "outed" as having come from a harsh background (in the upside-down, depraved world of idol fandom, I suppose this too would be an unforgivable crime). You’d think, especially with Akari’s mahou shoujo script kiddie skills, that Globe would be doing everything they could to get to the Designer Children before the Planetary Gears do – after all, that’s really nipping the Kill T. But there’s no evidence that they were looking for either Ai or Zin, or at least that they had any idea of where they might be (even if Pitz’s warnings were a clue). Many astronauts report that they were aware of climate change and global warming, but they became much more sensitive to the subject after traveling to space.The other interesting element about Ai and Zin is that both – though in quite different ways – seem much happier once their ego blocks are activated. "I dedicated my book, Boldly Go, to my great-grandchild, who's three now - coming three - and in the dedication, say it's them, those youngsters, who are going to reap what we have sown in terms of the destruction of the Earth." Astronauts often return with a greater distaste for warĪfter traveling to space, astronauts gain a greater understanding of how precious, and delicate, the Earth is. "I wept for the Earth because I realized it's dying," Shatner said. "People often cry when they first see the Earth from space," he said. White has interviewed more than 40 astronauts, and says that Shatner's response is typical. Everyone's overview effect is unique to them, but there are reactions that are more common than others. "And I realized one was death and the other was life."Īccording to White, everyone who travels to space experiences an "overview effect" - an emotional or mental reaction strong enough to disrupt that person's previous assumptions about humanity, Earth, and/or the cosmos. "It was the death that I saw in space and the lifeforce that I saw coming from the planet - the blue, the beige and the white," he said.
