With only hours before Austral Island is due to be "erased" with an ICBM strike, things get a bit introspective in the penultimate episode, as we see how all of our different characters react to the coming storm. Also, Manon makes some startling revelations to Yuu, and we learn the details of exactly why Gorg was drawn to him. Plus a truly chilling final cliffhanger, made even more effective by the lack of music this time... Also, I have a special request. I know there are probably people who are eagerly awaiting the chance to post a batch torrent of these to BakaBT or elsewhere, but could you do me the favor of holding off for a while? I still have revisions to make on several episodes of the Bro-Lord releases, and many minor revisions to the other episodes as well. I'd been considering the possibility of not releasing episode 26 until all of the other episodes are fully revised, but that seems kind of a crappy thing to do, particularly during a season associated with generosity. So if the rest of you could do me a solid by not releasing a batch just yet, I'd really appreciate it.
