Whatever happens to the pilots, which the clips imply was mostly not winning, the UN ultimately nukes the island three times and still doesn’t manage to kill the aliens. A major battle happens on Hawaii, one of humanity’s last food-supply bases in the Pacific, and…well…basically it all falls apart. However, humanity eventually fights back with brain-powered mecha that are piloted by teenagers. To sum up: Aliens attack and kick humanity’s duff. “I’m doing it for my Bro!”, “Oh No, I killed an Ally!” “General, you are bleed! We must find survivors!”…it all rings a little hollow. Unfortunately, while the clips effectively paint each character’s archetype in an approachable way, much of the flashback dialogue came off as unintentionally funny. Like any second season for a show, whose first season I did not have a chance to watch, SnF:DA-E had a serious challenge before it: digesting an obviously complex sci-fi/alien invasion plot populated by dozens of characters coherently AND simultaneously presenting the new content and basis for the second season.įor all intensive purposes, SnF succeeds - I vaguely understand who/what/where everything was and is now and SnF’s strong visual effort makes a compelling argument for why I should give it a chance. By request, I went back and gave Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor Exodus a once over.
