| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I was actually wondering what happened to Sara. Glad she is alive ^^ Wonder where Shu and Lala Ru are going now. |
| Abelia has to come to her senses and kill that crazy bastard soon. |
 |
| Seriously. This show is killing me with anxiety. I really hope it ends with some shred of hope. |
| That tentacle monster was constantly persistent :). Yay Lala-Ru talked and the white girl is alive. |
 |
| Seriously I think that Sara is the best character of the show!! love her!! |

Like zombies damn near. I guess its just because of the tone of this anime and the directors want to convey that type of quite, loneliness and sadness as a central theme of the show, im sure things will pick up later on though and the ending to this show may come out showing some kind of happiness or hope. |

| SARA GOT PICKED UP YAY! |

| i like Lala Ru a lot more after this episode, but I have to say that monster has downsyndrome. Nice way to go and kill itself. |

Good episode, Lala ru gave us a clear picture of this whole world with just a few words Pretty much this. There was so much truth and I think the fact that this is really the first time she's REALLY talked added even more impact. Of course, her description of the world they are in definitely can be applied our world as well. I think the show is building something up with Sara, what I don't know. |

| A slow episode but well we do know that Sara is alive ;D |

| Ah so Lala-Ru is the personification of nature. The military forcing her to create water for them is a metaphor for humans over-exploiting the environment in times of war. |

| La La Rue doesn't want to deplete her life for humans anymore, but it's a human that's been risking his life to save her and she hasn't even thanked him. She's complaining about the ungrateful nature of humans, but really she's no better. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| I'm so happy that Sara got picked up. Now I only hope whoever did pick her up was a decent fellow and not a member of some homicidal cult/army like Hellywood is. The second half of the episode reminded me of the movie Tremors. Lucky for them they found some grenades. |

| glad that Sara was saved but i hope she doesnt have to suffer anymore, Shu moves pretty fast for a kid who got shot in the leg Villetta_Nu said: La La Rue doesn't want to deplete her life for humans anymore, but it's a human that's been risking his life to save her and she hasn't even thanked him.

| . . . Hrmmm, now I know I've read a manga with an extremely similar plot to this in regards to a being who could make water at the expense of her own life . . . I think it might have been a one-shot called H20 or something, but girl faced the same dilemma, thanked at first, then expected, and then refusal lead to killing. |
 |
| A bit different episode. Liked it though. ^____^ I don't know either if there are any good people left on this world but it won't do me any harm to look for them, right? And to act like one of them. |
 |
| The desert monster reminded me of a Legend of Zelda dungeon boss. It was great to see a conversation between Lala Ru and Shu that wasn't one-sided for once. sauveterre said: Ah so Lala-Ru is the personification of nature.

| Did that maniac "Play Games" with Abelia too? |
 |
| Ok i dont get abelia anymore that guy is just crazy.. He first slaps her then adores her and is crazy obsessed with lala ru... He seems a bit yangire or so xP I feel sorry for lala ru tbh :( poor girl.. And ofc for sara as wellbut im glad shes alive.. |
 |
| It's like talking to a dead fish. Shu is a cool cat, but I am disappointed that there has been zero character development. He is a walking plot armor, with not much cool factor and backup to make it less obvious. I wish Shu and the corp leaders were at least young adults, which would make his strong stance on non-violence more legitimate. |
| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| I've got to imagine that Shu and Lala Ru are gonna run into Sara and the guy that saved her pretty soon and boy am I exited because hopefully they come up with a plan to take down King Hamdo and Hellywood! |

| Quaint episode. Lalaru finally opens up and it turns out she's snide and condescending. YEEHAW |

| Maaaan tentacle monsters back in the day were so rude. Look at it. Trying to drag you down into the sand. Be a man and handle your business out in the open. And then as soon as it was exposed it was getting all excessively dominant. Like, know your place. If people can escape then let them be. Don't go chasing. So rude. |
| This episode was basically Tremors. And just like Tremors it was very good. Sara's alive, I guess somehow she didn't freeze to death or suffocate in that sand. Damn, Hamdo straight up called Abelia a stupid bitch! I mean, she is, but damn! I guess we finally get a bit of character development for Lala-Ru. She's starting to look more like an actual character and not just a plot device. Hopefully she opens up a bit. I wonder what happened to the world. I think nuclear war is pretty obvious but the world looks crazy. The landscapes are beautiful, and so alien. That tentical monster... I've seen enough hentai to know where that's going. They killed that thing just like in Tremors, they even hid on top of the rocks too. I'm confident someone on the production team must've seen that movie. This show is really interesting so far, I'm honestly surprised it doesn't have a bigger following. |
| That sand monster looked like something straight from Tatooine In the end Shu claimed to have lost his boot, but in fact he didn't. Shu is a cool cat, but I am disappointed that there has been zero character development. there has been zero character development. What. I honestly liked Shu and Lala-Ru here. You really have to dive into the characters' minds and read their emotions to understand what's going on. Gladly, we see Lala-Ru's progression at the end. And I really enjoyed that talk about dawn/sunset. Almost like for Shu living is easy and the new day is something to look up to, while for Lala-Ru living is difficult and she wants the day to end ASAP. Hence why she dislikes the sun, but likes the sunset. |

| very cute episode, i liked the fact that Lala ru is beginning to show her true self to Shu |

| Lala Ru had more characterisation in this episode alone than every prior episode combined. I guess it makes sense, since she had someone to interact with. Stuck in a gilded cage with only Hamdo as "company" wouldn't make me talkative either. That monstrous plant must be intelligent to some extent. There's no way it would be after Lala Ru's pendant unless it somehow knew it could generate water. It also deprived Shu of both the bike and his kukri, as if just to inconvenience him. Seems like it wasn't smart enough to avoid ingesting the inexplicable sand bomb though, but who would've expected it would have that much explosive power? The scenery in this was astounding too, especially when those desert pillars were illuminated at night. One of my favourite episodes so far, and possibly my favourite overall. |

| Abelia should just kill Hamdo honestly. Who would be mad at her taking control. She’s far smarter and much more capable as well. Lala-Ru perspective on her gift is interesting and much more reasonable for her acting the way that she does but I hope we get more on her thought process as well, there’s so many avenues this can be taken. |
