Even less to say this time...
Kurt and Max's backstory is pretty simple:
They had an office job, they didn't like how they were treated, they quit and joined a group that was involved in illegal activities, they got arrested for... sugar trafficking?
How can someone's life be made a living hell using sugar?

Kurt and Max seem fairly generic there isn't really much to them.

That's some crazy truth serum tech that I'm surprised they didn't know about beforehand. However, they don't seem exactly like geniuses anyway.

Don't worry, in a few more years, the liberal west will ban all sugar, so we have to hire these guys to get it to us. A smuggler's paradise I say, just you wait

I'm wondering if I'll ever get to see a highly innovative scene on the same level as Milky Highway.

If anything, it's likely an accurate depiction of the Japanese criminal justice system. The idea of getting a lawyer in due process doesn't really seem to exist, so interrogations like this could very well happen, plus there's nothing like the petit or grand jury model, it's primarily a judge to make the decision with a prosecutor and defense lawyer presenting evidence for each side

This continues to crack me up! The humor is so quick witted and the lines are spectacular. In hindsight I should have waited until it finished so I could binge it.

This is the best episode so far IMHO, because not only was it funny, but it tried to send a message too, it tried to get philosophical and all, and I loved it.

Those 2 cyborgs are awesome.

Nice backstory and this anime is too funny to be this short.

I love how whenever this near or distant future is is implied to be some form of dystopia with a system in place that goes so far as to ban sugar. Although some could argue from a health and medical standpoint it's justified or benevolent and not inherently indicative of a maximally dystopic state/society, but one has to wonder how far their regulatory grip on whichever portion of whichever galaxy they're in and control goes and what else is banned or heavily restricted.

But also, I know the smugglers are supposed to be shown as incompetent fools and amateurs, so it would be consistent with that, but wouldn't they question the candy before eating specifically due to the fact that sugar is banned, so candy is automatically not something which would be allowed, let alone given and passed out freely, in a police station by a police officer?

Unless candy in this world is sweetened with something else, like the high fructose corn syrup in lieu of cane sugar, which maybe wouldn't count as real sugar, or an even more artificial chemical sweetener mix.

Social commentary? In my Milky Subway? It's more likely than you think.

LAMO, I'd never thought Ryouko was this kind of character, I like her a lot more after this episode.
