Cinnamon Ass - Reborn Like a Zombie

Fantastic Children Episode 17 - Tina

The Girishian scientists meet with the King to discuss a new form of energy for powering their civilisation via the Zone, but tragedy strikes when a terrorist attack on the King accidentally involves Tina. In a last ditch effort to save her life, they use OSL to revive her. The experiment is a success, but the King chooses to use the power of OSL to turn Tina into a living weapon. This news filters back to Georca, who then kidnaps Hiisuma in order to control her. Meanwhile, Tina (accompanied by Sesu) goes to visit her estranged mother, but Georca has more machinations in store...

I pity the seiyuu who had to sing along with Mizu no Madoromi (I wonder how they'll dub that?), they were obviously incredibly nervous about doing it/not a singer. Anyway, more from Girishia here, and it's all going rather tragically as usual. I keep expecting Georca to cackle evilly and sweep around in a cape - he is such a cheesy villain - but it's very effective and all that. What kind of a bastard makes his own daughter into a living weapon, though?

I liked the focus on the Children/scientists this time round, the love triangle or whatever it is doesn't inspire me that much - Sesu is a more interesting character than Solan thus far, but Solan seems certain to win out for Tina's affections (well, especially as they're going to get married!).
