Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals! (781)

There was something very creepy about the Golurk crawling around on the ground. Kinda creeped me out for some reason. First time the anime freaked me out since Dawn vs Ursula.

 

This was a very good episode that left on a all intense cliffhanger. I am psyched to see what happens next.

 

Good episode. I like how Ash think of friends, especially when he wants to befriend Reshiram. Looking forward to next episode!

 

The plot thickens and is just waiting to explode. The confrontation between Ash and N shows just how they themselves have become friends. N was willing to give up Light Stone which he said he regarded beyond everything else and then they had a heartfelt conversation about People and Pokémon and how Ash considers them all friends. I really think N is beginning to understand.

Can't wait till next week, can't it be tomorrow? On to the next one!

 

I did not want this episode to end, just when things were starting to get good.

N and Ash moments were well done, and it seems to bring them closer to an understanding about the Pokemon world. I felt bad for N when he admitted that people such as Anthea and Concordia don't have the knowledge of what it's like in the outer world. Especially when it came towards their hasty behavior to the gang. I'm glad Ash and N had a moment to talk about all that.

Team Plasma was as wicked as ever, and Colress so so mad scientist I love it.

Prof. Juniper Sr. is just as quirky with the humor he brings to the table. Always having us hang in there, to what he has to stay completely. xD

I knew there was something sketchy about that "assistant" from the beginning. Knew it had to be Looker! That man does not disappoint.

Can't wait for more!

 

I knew it was Looker as soon as they said N's name for the first time and it flashed his eyes. The episode was really nicely done. The mythology of Unova has to be some of, if not the best pokémon mythology, so these episodes are awesome. Ash and N getting to talk was great, and Looker taking control was awesome, though I was sure Team Plasma wouldn't go down that easily! I can't wait for the next episode.

 

seriously does anyone still think Mr. Juniper is funny with his gimmick, it was ok the first two times he did it but now it's just tiured and grating, I doubt if even the kiddies are laughing at this point. Standard setup episode works ok on it's own but would probably be better when combined with the last two episode of the N arc.

 

Great episode. I was hoping N would turn out to be evil though.

 

Called it right from the beginning that that one archaeologist was looker, at it was him.

 

Ah yes, the beginning of the end of the Team Plasma arc. It only took me three years to get to it, LOL.

N gets a superb showcase in this episode and the following two, we really get to learn what his beliefs are and how Ash inspires him and makes him realize the bond people and pokemon can have. While Ghetsis and the rest of Team Plasma are your basic bad guys, N is really a great character. I also love the elder Professor Juniper, he always cracks me up. ^_^ As far as the plot goes, it's basically a setup, but I do like N and the elder Professor Juniper's material the best.

7/10

 

I liked seeing Cedric Juniper again and how we saw the White Ruins, which contained the Light Stone. Seeing N and Ash have a deep conversation was cool and of course Colress had to appear to ruin things. ^^;

 

Once again, we saw Handsome's knack for wearing very good disguises while he did his job investigating the ruins. I liked the fact that we saw the male Araragi-hakase as well, although the emphasis on just Reshiram here with no reference to its counterpart Zekrom seemed like a waste of a good subplot.

 

Oh, I really like the scenes with Ash chasing N after he took the Light Stone and N letting go of the Light Stone to try to save Ash from falling down the hole. Also, Looker using Angie against Team Plasma after surrounding the rest of the group.

 

I really liked the scenes where N didn't hesitate to go help Ash and when he let go of Reshiram to save Ash. N is appropriately quick when it comes to making decisions.

 

I enjoyed watching Satoshi and N discuss their ideologies, which also allowed them to be removed from the action, which in turn allowed Iris, Dent, and the Rocket-dan to do more.

 

It was a pretty good set-up for the climax. N's too adorable, I'm really going to miss him when the arc is over. I especially loved his reaction to Ash calling him his friend.
