Description:
In the penultimate collection, director Ryosuke Takahashi picks up some of the plot lines of this supernatural mecha series. The all-important "path of the kai" forgotten, Yoshiro insists on rescuing the psychic Miharu, who has been kidnapped by the combined forces of Symbol and the U.S. military. He attacks an American airbase in his SSDF mecha suit. Mutely awaiting her fate, Miharu experiences a series of flashbacks very similar to the ones Rei Ayanami undergoes in Evangelion. Meanwhile, the powerful Gowa family and Yoshiro's SSDF unit have joined the cabal organized by the jingoistic Nishida, who hopes to return Japan to an idealized past. By manipulating economic forces, Nishida plans to provoke the United States into staging a fake terrorist incident in Japan, then intervening militarily. After the events of September 11, some viewers may be uncomfortable with the terrorism story line. Rated 12+: Violence, tobacco use, brief nudity. --Charles Solomon
