Summary:
Nerval’s rented skeletal snake body pops out of the moon and wraps around Leopard’s colony before penetrating it. Leopard is so not feeling this yaoi embrace, and his Golden Orbs shrivel and curl up while his colony and all the QT-Arms around it freeze as well. This is when the girls come face-to-tentacles with Nerval, the enemy of humanity. Nerval mentions that Honoka is a survivor of eXistenZ, but before he can kill everyone, Takane decides to stop playing possum and start kicking ass.
Sakura suddenly gets an idea to melt the ice and makes a mental phone call to Kazane. Now that Kazane has absolute command of the Shishidou family, she gets to use the Naviman Morihime and some really powerful kiddie scripts. Kazane activates Absolute Break Through Control, and uses Kirkwood’s mirrors to redirect all sunlight towards Leopard. Kazane’s foreplay works, and Leopard rips apart Nerval with a Soul Shout. Unfortunately, Xanthippe quickly warps in, grabs the busted up Nerval, and then warps out with a “Gokigenyou, ohohohohoho.” Oh well, at least now Leopard has the Golden Orb Warmer.
Reaction:
I had been wondering about Takane’s tin foil swords before, but now it all makes sense. Clearly Takane got captured on purpose to get close to Nerval and also delight her fans with her tortured screams. As soon as Nerval appeared, Takane summoned Larvana and started cutting everything in half, so obviously she’s got some skills. As for Sakura, I was so amused by how her mental telepathy did not go straight to Kazane. Instead, it went to Kazane’s cell phone. Are there extra charges for that?
It looks like the story is now hurtling ahead at full speed, and we’ll probably find out what eXistenZ was and who Xanthippe is soon enough. From the look of the preview, it will probably be an information dump episode mixed with some onsen fanservice just to keep the viewers interested.

The mysterious snow (okay, so maybe it’s ash) that falls everywhere after Leopard discharges his weapon makes me laugh in a most immature fashion.
I wonder if she actually paid to see it.
LOL, link added. Sadly, I actually paid to see that movie. It was not “better than the Matrix” at all, although the tooth gun was funny.
When I rented it on VHS, I took it up to the counter and the clerk said (unprompted) “Yeah, I saw this, I thought eXisten2 was much better than the first one.” I just smiled and nodded. And the tooth gun was awesome.
OMG there is a sequel?! Don’t scare me like that!
in the preview for Ep8 it is review that Takane doesn’t wear underwear. No Pantsu.
Takane is just too hawt. <3 Must agree with the screams part.
Also bath scene did not last long in episode 8. :\
Finally,
C.C.Takane gets some action. <3 Yukana
