[Frontier]

This was a much better recap episode compared to the previous one. Figures since it was focused on characters we actually care about.

Anri with her hair down looks spectacular.

So the Space Aliens ARE coming from a specific planet. So it's an intentional and heavy invasion? One that's been going on since 1999? The creatures are so different so are they deliberately designed that way or modified from actual wildlife on that planet?

We also finally get Emi's backstory that she was an overachiever who graduated from MIT at 17 and got caught hacking into the government. Seems like part of it was motivated by trying to get her scientist dad to pay attention to her.

That was a nice scene between Gento and Teruaki over Blazar.
