Fuuuuck not Iggy :( He was such a nice character.

It seems like Pino is special since she's the only one affected by the virus that hasn't gone psycho. Shame it wasn't the same case for Iggy.

The way that Iggy was snapping off on Re-L was too dunny

Lil is so spoiled.

So Iggy has been infected longer than we realized. Man, he is really intelligent. He knows how the virus works before anyone else. He has an understanding that he will die sooner if he reveals his condition to the humans.
The most disturbing thing is the Autorievs developing the idea of killing. Iggy observed humans killing Autorievs to return to their ideal environment and condition and in turn, Iggy feels the same when his happiness is threatened. The other Autoriev before only fought in self-defence. Since her conversation with Iggy, he implanted the idea of killing to have her happiness return. That's very frightening.
Even more frightening is that we don't know how many Autorievs are hiding their infections like Iggy and are just biding their time to increase their numbers and weaponry to massacre the humans in the dome.

Pino's pouty face. haha


Iggy has such a tragic ending, but all for the sake of Lil's development I guess. We'll see where her path takes her. She's definitely maturing though. I'm betting that something big will happen in a few more episodes after their journey.

So is it just me, or did Re-L feel like a bumbling idiot in this episode?

She just stands there while Iggy gut-punches her, getting captured without even token resistance. Then she trips while fleeing an infected auto-reiv and kicks at it uselessly from ten feet away.

definitely agree with the prior comments that Re-L's spoilt personality is justified (to an extent) when you consider her background and societal standing.

it's easier to judge others, as ever, without wearing their shoes.

I really enjoy the way this show is handling sentience, the conversation with Pino at the end was a really nice touch with her mentioning that knowing what sadness is doesn't make her unhappy.

One can conclude this is the case because once you know what sadness is, you cherish happiness more.

Definitely the best episode so far!

I kinda knew Iggy was already infected by the virus. It just seems a bit weird on how he was acting more and more on his own.

This is probably the episode that will start Re-L to change for the better or worse.

While she does come from a place where she has everything she wants and is spoon fed to her. Eventually she will have to learn to adapt on her own.

She even complains how She needed Iggy to do her hair early in this episode, until she found Vincent can do her Hair as well.

LOL Pino just reading the book XD

It was weird seeing Iggy curse and shout at Re-L as he die. Keeps switching to his alter ego, but in the end. All he wanted is to be with Re-L.

They did ramp up the animation here! Vincent actually looks cool when he had a face to face with Iggy.

It is what it is. I'm sure Re-L will slowly understand that Auto-Reiv's may truly develop their own soul. Even with the Cogito Virus.

I loved the fact Iggy said a few good ones to Re-L (LOL ♡) And that final scene when Vincent gives her back 'his gun', certifying his feelings to her again, which may someway be similar to Iggy's? High sexual connotation in there too! (/// ̄  ̄///)
Anyway, hoping Re-L has a good development as a character...

Probably the best episode so far, 1st it was interesting to see how most of the domes seem to share the same aspects like the machine to create humans even with how it got decayed over time and of course the revelation that Iggy was infected by Cogito (which was obvious at this point) and him acting like a yandere towards Re-L despite being sentient about her behavior though there's the "raison d'être" point for an AutoReiv which seems to be what really rule them even after they became sentient, so even after all that he still sacrificed himself to save Re-L against the AutoReiv that tried to kill her by exposing himself because of how mad it is that she killed the cave dome's Proxy, RIP Iggy the end was emotional... the Vincent part was also pretty good he gave her her gun back.

yandere Iggy was really cool ngl. Rip most likeable character, Iggy was more human and fleshed out than Pino and Re-l for sure, maybe even more so than Vincent.

My favorite episode so far. Probably not going to happen, but I'd love for Iggy to be resurrected somehow and make a return in the final episodes.

Iggy will be remembered. I don't see anything wrong in his way of thinking, to him Re-L is everything. After he became conscious, he wanted her to acknowledge him, to embrace him; that's all he needed. So his mental breakdown scene justifies his viewpoint, though it did leave a mark on Re-L as well, it was as if truth was staring at her face.

The end scene of Iggy's two emotions struggling to express was shown well. He has a gentle approach to her and one of rage; at this point Re-L seems to have understood that Iggy really did become humane( at least he tried to). Had he been given more time he would have understood to control his emotions as per the given situation, but in all honesty Re-L truly required a good verbal bashing. Hope she becomes a better human being.

Loved this episode!

Iggy being savage to the end. Imagine having someone save you, and their last words were that you weren't worth saving and that they despised you.

they handles special boy Iggy so well. i'd been hoping for some focus on him for a while. it always bothered me how understated he was. the twist could've had more lead-up thought, i will say. just sort of came out of nowhere and wasnt even made clear with the "confirm" thing last episode.

This anime turned into a romantic drama all of a sudden. Vincent and Daedalus were already interested in Re-L, and we had yandere Iggy for the episode too. There were even some hints that Pino might've been jealous of Re-L monopolising Vincent's attention in this episode as well, but that may just be my own interpretation.

Iggy's bipolar personality caused by the Cogito virus started criticising Re-L for her needy and selfish demeanour in this episode as well, but his original AutoRiev self still seemed to retain his devotion to her, at least before he died. It really is a shame though, since Iggy was a good companion.

Watching a robot slowly develop a toxic relationship from the logical ground-up was fascinating.
