It's Episode 31!

-I love that we immediately start off this arc with a "so uh, what's the foundational ideal that we're buliding this company on? (other than Gai stinks, Humagears are family?)" You definitely are going to lose sight of yourself and the company's goal if you not only pick one, but stick to it!

-It's hard to hold back the love I have for the concept for the Hiden Manafacturing arc of 01: part of it I talked about in 30, that the whole thing about Aruto starting from stratch, the slightly revised intro monologue! It's inherently a concept that bulids off Aruto's core strengths!!! It's really just all-around everything I like about 01, yknow?

-It's good for them to address firstly that not all Humagears have reached Signaluratry, or how heavily they had to rely on a connection to Zea to inform how their decision-making/learning. There'll likely be many, many Humagears like G-Pen, not knowing what the future they desire is. If you think about it....isn't it the same for us, not exactly knowing what we want of our futures? Perhaps the two groups aren't really all that different....

-I like Jin and Horobi's whole thing this episode. Jin telling Aruto not to tie up the Humagears in his own self-righteous dream....perhaps, that might've been true, for a version of Aruto far earlier in the story. But definitely not now. Horobi insisting that Humagears are far too helpless to think and survive on their own without a network (whether it be Zea, or MJBR.net)....It gives the energy of "This is how it's always been. It's far too much a risk to try anything else and fail!" But...it's ok, you know. To fail and struggle while trying to find/pursue a future of your own. And it's not like you're exactly alone either: Dreams are only realized by half the effort you put into it, and half the support you recieve from everyone, after all~

-The "turnover" bit for the other Humagear is a really fun idea, I like it alot.
