-____- Stuff always updates when I’m sleeping. Well I’m up now. Since this appears to be pretty juicy I’ll be updating in frequent, small, chunks rather than waiting to post the whole thing.

[EDIT]
To sum things up:
– Movie or something pretty much confirmed.
– “If they survive the final battle” comments for Setsuna, Saji and Lyle
– Setsuna gets to confront Ribbons
– Lyle’s probably gonna fight Ali, probably for Neil’s revenge (yeah I know, where’d that come from?)
– Shit sucks for Al; they tease about Hal again
– Regene is the final boss (best be trolling, magazines)
– Mentions of Saji in the producer’s comments about Saji: 0
– Feldt gives Setsuna a flower confirmed for the nth time
– Patrick and Kati help out CB also confirmed
– Veda’s hinted at being back on the moon now (Official File is made of LIES), and hints at that huge ass ship 2ch’s been going on about

[EDIT again] Because people (not here) are illiterate, for the last time the 3 options feature in the Animedia article is the Animedia staff throwing out their speculations to one of the producers. In other words: Anew is still dead. Tieria is NOT Aeolia. Setsuna doesn’t become Marina’s manager or get it on with Feldt. But Al might end up being Soma’s slave :P

{comments from the beginning of the post/brief summary of the contents}

It seems like there really is going to be a movie or something after all.
Because the producer made some comments in Animedia.
The great spoiler-king [of magazines], Animedia, readily exposed Veda’s recapture.
And that in Episode 22 Patrick, along with Kati come to reenforce CB when they’re in a pinch.

Animage

A feature with a 2-page spread with the four Meisters, Saji and Louise, Sumeragi and Billy also have a 1-page summary-article. There are remarks about each of their relationships. Just the areas that caught my eye.

Setsuna
“I fight to live!”

Iketani P’s Commets {Producer Iketani Hiroomi}
• Setsuna and Marina’s relationship is stronger than it was in the first season, but rather than love, the meaning is more that they are both seeking companionship.
• As for Setsuna and Saji’s relationship, assuming they survive the final battle, they probably won’t continue to walk the same path.
• Setsuna and Ribbons. As we head toward the climax, the two will meet again.

Lockon
“I’ll snipe the Innovators”

Iketani P’s Comments:
• As the various missions pile up, especially what happened with Anew, Lyle feels [more and more?] that he is supposed to be a Gundam Meister for CB. During this stage he must be thinking a lot about the late Lockon. Thinking like that, isn’t a clash with Ali unavoidable?

On Allelujah’s page there’s the line “Marie is good….”
*Reference to Iketani P’s comments.

Iketani P’s Comments:
• In the midst of the world’s distortion, because an existence like themselves came into being, Allelujah maintains his intent to prevent this kind of tragedy from happening again. I imagine that Souma has similar feelings toward him.
She offers him “If you want to call me Marie, that’s fine.” but, they [can't?] understand each other better than before. {I’m making a leap in saying it’s negative, it doesn’t really seem to make sense to me in the positive and できているのでは seems like it should be できているのでは[ない] but there’s a good chance I’m just being dumb}
On the other hand, Souma carries an intense hatred for Andrei. How will these feelings affect her relationship with Allelujah is the point from here on. As far as Andrei is concerned, he must be feeling regret over having killed his father. How will he make up for killing his father? If he does will Souma be able to understand him? How will they meet and settle things? Perhaps in an incident on the battlefield–this is another point to pay attention to.

Tieria
“Please guide me… Lockon”

Iketani P’s Comments:
• With regard to Ribbons, Tieria thinks “If I don’t find a way to stop this man, the fighting will never end.” He might have information from Regene, but I think Tieria senses that Ribbons is different from the other Innovators.
Regene is embracing the idea that he wants to change the world by his strength alone.
He thinks that Ribbons’ position should have been his. {Fucking better not be his motive}
Regene thought Tieria was special, but doesn’t appear to be essential now.

Saji
“If we can understand each other we can build the/a future!”

Iketani P’s comments:
• Presently, Louise can no longer survive without nanomachines. Even if Louise returned to Saji, there is little hope of a bright future. Moreover, Louise, oppressed by her hate, killed Nena, and furthermore she despairs that nothing is borne from her revenge. Surely this event has left a big scar on Louise’s heart. {Mentions of Saji in Iketani P’s comments about Saji: 0}

P25-7 Sougetsu and Kamiya talk.
{skiping for now}

P28-29 Interview with Kawai
{probably not bothering with this until much later, it’s interesting that they’re interviewing the composer but the probability of spoilers is very low}

Animedia
{Just a reminder, as usual I’m skipping image/page descriptions for the most part}

P6-7: Feature is titled “Take back Veda!! To the moon!!”
In the comments: “Please pay particular attention to these two [Tieria and Setsuna] of the Gundam Meisters! When they take back Veda, pay particular attention to Tieria” So, surely Tieria is doing something in regard to recapturing Veda {no shit?}

In Episode 22, Felt says “I’ll give it to you.” to Setsuna as she hands over a flower, Setsuna accepts it saying “Understood.”

P8-11 Climax predictions for each character.
Sunrise’s Ikeda P responds to three choices. {I believe the idea being that the 3 options are the ideas of Animedia’s writers and Iketani P is just commenting on them}

Setsuna
1. Setsuna becomes Marina’s manager.
2. Setsuna and Feldt become all lovey-dovey.
3. Gundam undergoes another change!? Setsuna disappears into space.

Iketani P’s response: “Aside from the circumstances as to how he goes missing, three is possible, I wonder. The problem is Feldt’s flower. I don’t understand her intent very well but Feldt says ‘don’t die’ and Setsuna responds with one word ‘Understood’ ”

Tieria:
1. He sends his feelings for Lockon out through space
2. Joins with the Innovators
3. He falls into the past and becomes Aeolia

Iketani P’s response “It’s impossible, but 3 is interesting. I think Lockon is Tieria’s emotional key-person, but lately he hasn’t been saying his name very much. Because he knows what he should be doing now. After this, it’ll be interesting how he becomes the key to facing off against the Innovators and Veda.”

Lockon:
1. Anew isn’t dead
2. He defeats Ali, taking revenge for his brother
3. He defeats Ribbons, taking revenge for Katharon {Animedia, you guys are either really clever putting this action and this reason together or you’re really really dumb}

Iketani P: “2 and 3 are likely. Up until now Lyle’s had one foot in CB and the other in Katharon. If Lyle were to survive, how will he try to live on? That will be Lyle’s climax.”

Allelujah:
1. Marries Marie
2. Becomes Souma’s slave as penance
3. Hallelujah steals Souma away

Iketani P: “For Hallelujah to return again, 00’s strong GN particles are needed. It depends on Setsuna. To the very end, the one with “possibility” is 2. [Because] Allelujah killed their brethren. On top of that, he can’t achieve normal happiness, not achieving [happiness], that’s the kind of character he is, I think.”

Patrick “Just how far does your immortality go?”

Iketani P: “In episode 22, he gallantly dashes in to CB’s rescue. If he puts his mind to it, he can do it. If he does that much at least, surely you’ll be satisfied, won’t you?”

Mister Bushido:
When he’s defeated by Setsuna he spouts the sophism “Bushido* is about finding a way to die” {*should be obvious but just in case, not his name}
1. He drifts about in space
2. He resumes his training
3. Ashamed of himself, he withdraws to the countryside {Nice one, Animedia}

Iketani P: “3 followed by 2 would be [a] happy [end]. He’s the most troublesome character to be asked about what will become of him in the end. Until the end, he has nothing but his obsession with Gundam [left].”

Concerning the final battle:
“I wonder what’s on the other side of the moon? Is it just Veda? {Veda shouldn’t be there AT ALL according to the Official File. LIES, ALL OF IT!} After that, the final boss’s mecha? {Ribbons + Fangs, Ribbons + Fangs, Ribbons + Fangs…} Perhaps something 10x the size of Alvatorre from the first season appear?”
{Er, pardon my comment spam in there^}

Concerning new 00-related stuff:
1. Third Season
2. Movie
3. OVA

Iketani P: “Although it’s a work which can be expanded upon in various ways, without saying 1, I’d like to work on 2 and 3. In order to think about what comes next, first the final episode [needs to happen]. Please don’t miss it.”

{whoops, accidentally started calling Iketani P, Ikeda P}

Lastly a comment titled “Iketani P’s climax presentation”
• Naturally, Setsuna is playing a active role in the [finale] drama, and Tieira is also being prepared to take an active role in things. As Lyle too makes his way through the final battle, surely he is thinking of his brother. Allelujah fights under CB’s ideals, [even though] many have been sacrificed, because he wants to keep Marie by his side, so he carries out CB’s ideals so that he can find happiness.
Andrei also has to carry out the things he believed in, because he’s lost his father’s [guidence], it is impossible for him to not enforce his will. {I dunno something like that}
However, truly, each character has their own fully-loaded role. One-by-one, how will they prepare themselves for the worst? That’s the highlight.

• Until the very end (of the last episode) until after the ending, until the very last second, don’t miss it!
Something, is there, probably. {<–Blogger comment, s/he then adds that both Macross F and FMA’s movies were announced in a similar fashion.}

P42-3
“Hello from the Sky” featuring Tieria and and interview with Kamiya.
Tieria’s progression of ups and downs in the second season.
Ayaka’s comments.

Tieria’s started joking lately *Ayaka’s comment
{-____- same old thing about how Tieria’s changed and stuff}

Is he interested in Milena? *Ayaka’s comment
“It’s a feeling of camaraderie. Because her innocence is something he doesn’t have, it seems like he’s thankful for her [being around]“

Goal Scene *notes {not the same as “Ayaka’s comment,” I dunno what that means in context unless it’s just him abbreviating “Ayaka’s comment”}
“Contrary to what we’ve expected, the Innovators’ last boss is not Ribbons but Regene!? Who is it that Tieria and the others really have to defeat? The truth is in the story {wat?}”
{I dunno what’s going on here^ don’t take it too seriously}

Tell us, Staff!

Even though Tieria could access Veda he didn’t know he was an Innovator because he was sent out as a Gundam Meister and consequently he information given to him was [strictly] controlled. It seems he didn’t have the information “I am an Innovator.” {and Regene told us all this in episode 8, thanks Sunrise}

P43 Kamiya interview {later}
{wait, no this last chunk funny and short}
6. Which character caught your attention in the second season?
Goodman. He looks like a [small] town baker.

Okay, that’s it for now. I’ll update with the interviews later.
