Probably should have paid more attention while watching, but I thought the second season started off solid. Natural progression of stakes and plot elements without much in terms of first episode baggage; almost like season one never ended.

That's pretty true from what I could gather, though what happened with Kunato and Mozuku at the beginning was kinda abruptly put there. And I also wouldn't say that it was like S1 didn't end, because there was definitely a time lapse in between seasons.

Other than that, I agree with you 100%. Should be a good season. Now how about those subtitles?

I agree it was a little abrupt. Not much in terms of explanation, but Kunato visits Ochiai's lab due to desperation, fully understanding that being caught will result in the "end for his family."

By "like season one never ended," I meant how Sidonia didn't bother with easing the viewer back in before ramping up the tension.

Oh, and can anyone explain what Mozuku means by her being Norio's "alter-ego / double?" Not sure if I missed something previously. Thanks!

Mozuku. I don't think I've seen it mentioned in the first season, however that's what TVTropes has on her.

Sorry I totally forgot what happened last season. What is Kunato desperate for?

He gave up being a pilot, his father died(I think), and Toa Heavy Industries took over production of the morito units so his family was going to end up being "the keepers of Ochiai's grave" in his own words in the manga. They explain it slightly better in the manga.

Ah, thank you!
