| Major killing it with the new outfit :33 Whoa, what was that at the end?? |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| My best guess is that the last part was the Money Maker program, which somehow recognized Togusa's favour of giving the old man a coin for ferryman, and then the program returned the favor by buying favorable stocks.. The fact that it is Serano Genomics could be coincidence. |
| -------- |
| Loved the design of Fem's money gun. The way she reloaded with her thumb was so cool. The ending is a nice mystery. I hope that gets explained. |
| The computer became part of the money-making botnet ha. |
| p00p |
| That Moneymaker Program is exactly the type of thing you don't want the government to get a hold of. All the gold bars aren't so bad because at least that is accountable. |
 |
| Great stand alone episode this one. The banter between Batou and the others is subtle but funny as hell. And once more we get to see Motoko being irritated at the Tachikoma's personality. It's ironic that as a cyborg, she's less forgiving of their playfulness than her more human colleagues. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Good episode. I missed more character on the assassin, it was too shallow. The program in the end... Of two one: - the moneymaker AI bought the stock in consideration of Togusa, who knew a lot about him and considering the series, it's an easy to reach statement. The stock being from Genomics may represent coincidence or a growing in their value, forecasting the laughing man maybe? - the laughing man plans. it's something mere mortals can only wait for |
| Squealer: My kind are neither slaves nor beasts. Judge: If you’re not beasts, then what are you? Squealer: WE ARE HUMANS!!! Watashitachi wa ningen da!!! |
| ok those robot dogs were cute haha |
 |
| that ending :eyes:. I was thinking maybe he's secretly the heir of that money making program guy! He *did* know lots about him! He said it was because he read an interview with him or something but... what if! :eyes: |
 |
| Fem's mission that got her caught as an assassin was to kill a man who was already dead. Talk about some dramatic irony. |
 |
| 6/10 - Bit of a letdown. Some more backstory on the commie assassin and maid would've been nice. |
