Freezing Vibration - Episode 8

NSFW for animated boobies

Kazuya's grandfather is skeptical of the E-Pandora program. The girls have discussions in steamy bath rooms and snowy weather. The test subjects attempt to escape.

Kazuya's grandfather, one of the renowned Genetics pioneers, has always been skeptical of the E-Pandora program, and he notices the Nova cells going haywire in the propaganda video the Chevalier group released. He hopes it's just normal activation, but he doesn't think so. His personal aide, the most powerful Pandora in active duty, Su-Na Lee, also expresses her doubts about the program, saying that if her sacrifice in bearing the stigmata was to protect the innocent and incapable, what good is it if everyone can bear the stigmata? That means everyone will be pressed into fatal conflict with the Nova.

At the Alaska facility, the Pandora and E-Pandoras have only heard rumors of a girl going Nova. Charles confirms that it was so, and that she killed her.  Even if we don't have special swimsuit episodes anymore, at least we still have steamy shower scenes. Charles gives the other girls the good soldier advice, and not worry about questioning orders. The head of the facility intends to go full steam ahead with the Mark IV nanomachines, against the objection of the lead scientist. Somehow he has made "improvements" on them, when the lead scientist has not. It must be only a couple days or so after Gina's death, because the other girls don't even know that Elizabeth is missing, only that her company has been brought down by scandal.

The lead scientist remembers back to her earlier work with Dr. Aoi, Kazuya's grandfather, and how he was angered over her decoding of the genome of the first Pandora. He cautions her about what the Nova may actually be, by relating the story of the Tower of Babel, and how it was struck down by Man striving to reach God's domain. That's a little heavy-handed, but this is only a battle anime involving magical girl transformations, mysterious enemies, and nudity. I'm not expecting something subtle here.

While Charles is playing the good soldier, something that most Pandoras would agree to, Rock, jogging in the snow with two others (that volt texture stuff is great, huh?), questions some other things about the lab. Like, why they have the most advanced power generator here, if they're just making adjustments to nanomachines. Lots of foreshadowing going on here.

The test subjects have been told who the next candidate is for the "improved" Mark IV, and Amelia tries to convince the lead scientist to let her take her place. She is told that the decision is final, and it's not really up to her anyway. At this point, Amelia hatches a plan, but wants to say goodbye to Elizabeth first, since she was punished trying to protect the normal girls. Her plan is for Amelia to inject the new Mark IV, and bust out of the facility. The girls break into the main office to steal the formula, but convince Amelia that they will all take the formula to make sure they all get out.

Rana lets slip that Elizabeth has been tortured, and is still recuperating, and more of the Pandoras find out about how the Mark IV doesn't really work, and that they are taking extreme measures to keep that failure secret. More battle lines are being drawn between good soldiers and conscientious objectors.

The temporary nature of the Mark IV still works, as the E-Pandoras are now able to go toe-to-toe with regular Pandoras. Just like last time, the top 5 Pandoras are dispatched too, and this time it's Julia's turn in the spotlight. Amelia may have been able to handle regular Pandoras, but one of the elite Pandoras is too much. But before she can land a finishing blow, she is frozen by Kazuya, as he and Satellizer make it back to the lab just in time.

As I figured, we still have some room for steamy shower scenes. And this is where we can find our lighter moments too, since we've entered the dark phase of the story. But when I thought of light moments, I meant funny, not white steam totally washing everything out. I mean, look, I can barely enjoy, er, appreciate the cliché gag of goosing someone in the shower!
