That was a surprise. Didn't expect Vincent to blurt it out that quickly though Re-l doesn't have any feeling towards him, maybe.
The fight was quite good and by the looks of things, Iggy has been infected by the virus too? Show signs of anger at the end.

Nice episode. Iggy seems infected and I wonder what's going to happen now that the other one is following him.

It was even better with the English dub, "Just remember this, some day I'm going to pull that trigger. So, can you still love me knowing that?"

Talk about a one-sided love! Ouch!

i didn't expect vincent to confirm his identity to re-l just like that. thought he would at least put it in a way to make it seem less weird.

i like how vince blushes in this scene + that was a nice kiss.


one sided love? maybe.
or maybe she is too proud to admit love. since she now knows that vince is the same proxy that scared the shit out of her in the first ep.

Re-l finally confirmed her suspicion (though she refused to believe initially) that the man who confessed his love to her is a Proxy. Maybe it was that she was not too proud to admit feelings of love but maybe she was being practical. Heck, how does one carry on a romantic relationship with a Proxy? Nag Vincent and he'd rip her apart like a piece of paper! LOL

ergo proxy might though, he seems to have a high temper.

Yup, if I were in Iggy's place I'd give Re-l an earful and I'd probably slap her silly for treating me like an "object"!

Absolutely. I always look for dubs when I can find them just to try and this one is very good. It felt more meaningful watching it dubbed than it did with subs. I definitely recommend this one in english if anyone is curious about the dub.

She already shot his heart down anyway, metaphorically speaking! :D

Ohh one less proxy bullet for Re-l, I wondered if the one she shot was a proxy or something close to it because it seemed to have reacted to the bullet (lights going out it's eyes), I'm ruling out AutoReiv since they said it was alive.

I just finished it tonight. I must say the landscape was amazing, and the music is still playing in my head. I'll have to check to see which piece it is I'm hearing playing in my head right now. Some of the sound effects and motifs I've seen in other animes, the bookseller was the same voice as Major's boss in GIST.

Aww Vincent's confession was cute ^^ Him blushing too. He's so innocent. And wow Re-l, kissing him out of the blue like that just to get your gun back? Poor guy doesn't know what to make of that incident at first, and then later on Re-l tells him that she will put that anti-proxy bullet in him. NO YOU WON'T. If there are other proxies out there, I'm pretty sure she would want to save that bullet on a proxy that doesn't love her like Vincent does. Also, I feel bad for Iggy :( he's already infected so he can't be turned off just like that, which must really hurt for him to actually hear Re-l being so cold. I mean he does a lot for her, even doing her hair, which was heartwarming. Iggy really is like her guardian.

Aww poor Iggy. It seems the cogito 'virus' is a manifestation of true sentience, or at least emotion.

It's strange that some Proxys we see seem to be reasonably intelligent (Vincent, Hauer.) and yet others seem to just be mindless monsters like the one in this episode.

But yeah I felt really bad for Iggy too, now that hes infected he can really see how Re-l treats him like crap. I wonder if he will actually go back to Romdeau or not, now that he has a choice in the matter.

The more I see the more I like it. At start I found it to be bit boring and slow paced (which I still believe) but now it's become badass. Iggy is fo sure infected now the Auto-Reiv that was w/ the other PROXY....I wonder what it's role is...I'll find it out soon today later or maybe tomorow

Excellent episode. I never expected there to be any romance in Ergo proxy but what do you know, Vincent goes and blurts it out. I wonder how a proud ojou-sama like Re-L will deal with that over the course of the next 10 episodes.

I get the feeling that not only is Iggy infected, but that he has some feelings for Re'L too.

I also think she's going to miss that bullet sooner rather than later.

I think the somehow important thing is now he's sort of aware of this, he isn't losing his memories anymore (I guess?) and how Ergo Proxy is still some... personality of Vincent, otherwise when transformed wouldn't give a shit about Lil, anyway he tried to keep the fight away. He looks badass af when in black and mask off lol. Lving this series

I think Iggy is upset because Re-l is trying to send him away. And wow that kiss was unexpected, i know she did it to kick the gun away but wow. And Vincent to just confess to Re-l like that.

Lots of surprises this episode.
