I think Re-l was indeed sorry for her attitude. She shed tears when she buried Iggy's head. From that episode I really felt that she was sorry for being the arrogant, insensitive, spoiled brat she was.

On a side note, since I saw the English dub of this, Iggy was pissed-off big time with Re-l. Calling her the B word like around 5 times if I'm correct.

Loved the ending part, damn Vincent is such a dork! I really love the sexual tension between the two of them.

R.I.P. iggy. its like killing your injured horse. only that in this case your horse is cursing at you and calling you useless until the very last minute.

the infected autoreiv tried to kill iggy's master because her master was killed. heh i can understand her mentality of revenge. which is one of the things that makes the cogito virus dangerous. (could say the same thing about humans, since the cogito virus leads to emotions on autoreivs. ehh... and all animals as well. its not like they're excluded from emotions)

I like the innocence that pino has. she went through the trouble of putting flowers on both of the autoreiv's graves. :)

vincent is too nice sometimes. he just lets himself get misunderstood. but i like his character.
(btw it was epic how vincent practically disappeared leaving the wood floating in the air, then hitting the gun away from iggy. :O )

I too downloaded the english dubbed.
at first i thought it was a little bit overdone.
but now that i think it over, i think it is very good acting. it clearly shows iggy's anger. which is something i can't blame him for.

Yup, that's the other and most well known effect of the Cogito virus. Pino is lucky, her infection caused her to act (though sometimes silly) like a real kid complete with the curiosity and innocence of a child.

This is one of my favorite episodes so far, although I *knew* Vincent was going to give Re-l the gun back. That was kind of obvious.

I don't blame Iggy at all for his emotions. Since episode 1, Re-l has been treating him and all other Autoreivs like crap, giving them no dignity and no gratitude. It's a shame that he had to leave so soon though. I would've had him stick around a few more episodes.

I like that Re-l was able to shed tears for Iggy. It shows her growth as a character. She's not 100% there yet, but she's getting there.

Infected Iggy FTW!!!!

This is one of my favorite episodes. I felt really bad for Iggy when he died. I watched the english version and the tirade didn't seem overdone. It was good to see the contrast between Regular Iggy and Infected Iggy. I don't know why, but it was amusing to hear him call her a bitch since he's also claiming he'd protect her and yada yada yada. Also....

Vincent is a dork. A lovely dork. :)

As for me, I watch this anime with dubbing, so I have already got accustemed to call her Lil, though it is wrong.

Sad episode, you really can't help feeling sorry for how Iggy was treated by Re-l the whole time. But she seemed truly sorry for being so arrogant and rude to him.

I have conflicted thoughts towards Re-l. I hope she stops acting so spoiled and arrogant, for her sake as well as others. Maybe that is expecting too much though considering her upbriging; regent's daughter and a heavily controlled life. It's not easy to break those habits and thought processes she had grown up with for years. Still, I hope she does. It would make her much more likeable.

So it never crossed your mind that Re-l MIGHT be the japanese way to write lil? Wow. Pronunciation in japanese is quite different from english, and almost all names can be romanized in multiple ways. Not knowing that you call other people idiots, way to go.

On topic, fuck even Pino is more of a man than Vincent. He's been a total wuss all this time and I'm slowly getting tired of it

I also wish Lil was my wife :3 for I'm big into spousal abuse. Shit that bitch's getting annoying, it's pretty obvious we'll see some character development on her part, so maybe that'll be fixed in the next episode.

Zomg, an Iggy-centered episode!
I must say I've always liked him much more than I liked Re-l (who's a whiny, spoiled bitch), so seeing him being treated like trash by her all the time, and then die...I'm a sad panda now D:

I can't really blame Re-l for being a bitch in this episode (almost all the preceding episodes actually, LOL) since she lived a sheltered and pampered life in the city all her life, that verbal abuse from Iggy is only a slap in the wrist if she doesn't get her act together to survive in the outside world. Character development here comes Re-l! XD

I hoped Re-l and Iggy could have a good talk and then could join the journey.
But Re-l turned out to be to arrogant even in this situation. To bad he died like that.
but it makes things easier now he is not around anymore.

wow first time ive cried in this series so far. iggy's conflicted emotions as he died made me tear up with pity, you can see he has no idea, being new to this freedom, how to sort the equal amounts of love and resentment he's developed for his master. idk all his conflict and confusion and anger just really struck true to me

re-l is a bitch and vincent is a bit wussy but they're real and thats what matters

Such an emotional episode. I always liked Iggy from the start. Too bad he had to die for Re-l's character development.
Although he grew hatred during the entire episode but the conflicting emotions during his last seconds still shows that he still care for Re-l.

Pino and Vincent have funny moments btw. lol

One of my favourite episodes right now. It moved me a lot when Iggy uncovered what he really 'thinks' about Re-l ... and still he showed a true 'heart' for her. The battle of emotions were too damn high, even for me. Great final for Iggy.

Iggy turned into a yandere auto-reiv, kind of. I also don't hate him, because Re-l hasn't always been treating him the way he deserves to be treated. Even though he cussed and yelled at Re-l, he still stayed loyal to her and wanted to be by her side ;_; it was definitely sad at the end when he said "don't hate me" mixed in with his "you bitch."

And yeah, it was definitely obvious that Vincent would give her back the gun. Also, I love how badass he was when he knocked the gun out of Iggy's hand.

Aaah, didn't see that one coming... It seems like Iggy may have unintentionally caused his own death, hanging around the masterless autoreiv girl while carrying on about killing Vincent. And also possibly infecting her with cogito if she didn't have it already.

Re-l was being a real spoilt bitch most of this episode... Glad she showed some remorse in the end.

The highlight for me however, was definitely Pino's pouty face when asked to help gather firewood. "I'm reading a book!" Lol.
