Stellvia of the Universe Episode 23
"That's Why You Exist"
The title of this episode refers to a very stupid line near the end, where Shima's mom explains to Shima that she met her father, they fell in love, they made love, and "that's why you exist".
The Genesis Mission rapidly approaches, and preparations for it hit a fever pitch. Because of a lack of information given out by the government and the space agency, civilian unrest is growing, thinking that they are being told to fight to the end, and stay where they are, while government officials and their families are being evacuated.
Closer to home, Shima continues to have difficulty in learning the system for her new mech, and relationship problems are interfering with her concentration.
There's some good stuff in this episode, kind of an intriguing show (but I just can't get over those eyes).
