Apparently gas clouds can stop spears. Tetsuro isn't smartest guy around. Or actually, if my travelling companion could survive spear to the stomach it might be smarter just accept his/her explanation for that than poking further.

Still, I have hard time believing what Maetel said

Tetsuro tells Maetel how she resembles his mother once again. Why is that?
The mysterious man reminds Maetel about her "important mission". What mission is that, exactly? And who orders her around?

each ep. is more beautiful than the previous one. I prefer them this way, shorter stories, two per chapter.

A more peaceful episode, quite liked the classical piano pieces added to it as well! That said though I really do wonder how much such a pass costs as the mother of that inn said that even if she worked her whole life she couldn't afford it?

That said, looking forward for the next episode!

The Black Knight story was pretty depressing, poor guy just wanted to make friends

And...it turns out Tetsuro killed a man for nothing
Of course, Maetel and Tetsuro won't lose any sleep over it, because he was only a cyborg untermenschen anyway

This is becoming like the new Kino's Journey series, in that after each stop Maetel and Tetsuro leave behind a trail of death and destruction

Maetel, you look like my mother...and every other adult female in the universe

This anime is so awful, I don't know if I can finish it despite its good points...mainly the straight shota energy and the occasional decent bit of writing

The "pavement planet" in which too many machines, too much industrialization cancels out nature, is a real 1970s trope which we now understand as too unsophisticated. Climate change caused by industrialization is going to make more nature ( of the bad variety), not less- but as others have said, I don't think there will be any interest in even-handedness. After all, without industrialization, how is your small pox vaccine going to get to you (or even get made)? But machines are evil, right...

About time to see a planet like earth and two stories per episode was a nice change of pace. Hope there will be more of these.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Whether it was Beethoven, or the robot that bought an entire planet for itself, they had hope for a better future for their lives... But reality, although cruel, has to be acknowledged. Not everyone achieves their dreams. Will Tetsurou be able to achieve his dream? We shall see...

Maetel lying her ass off. Talkin bout that was an illusion. Sure it was. I don’t believe her for a second. And yea, they’re really starting to throw the resemblance to Tetsuro’s mom thing around more often.

The black knight wasn't a bad person, but Tetsurou couldn't stay there, so he had to defend himself, although there may have been a way for Tetsurou to leave that planet without killing the black knight, but it's a little too late for that, lol.

How Maetel survived being impaled is interesting. What she told Tetsurou was likely a lie.

Planet 4D-3 is a beautiful planet, almost completely devoid of downsides, except the lack of electricity, which would bother some. Perhaps that composer boy will someday find a way to save enough money to board the 999. He certainly has the ambition.

'important mission'
Maetel sacraficed herself for Tetsuro.

So.. Maetel have a 'immortal' body?
More and more 'little clues' that Maetel isn't human.

Tetsuro just declined a friend request. So harsh. XD
