Oh boy, Naomi in the wrong place at the wrong time. Trouble came to her in the form of a bizarre case this episode. They can't catch a break even after they finished their previous mission.

I love how Rogue tries to help though. Between the two, she really cares about Naomi.

The tone is lighthearted even with all the killing.

More questions arise, the major ones are who was Giallon real target and who Naomi really working for.

14:46 Why is he saying that he won't stop smoking here? I don't get it.

Jaron isn't dead right? They need to get that sphere from him after all, right?
Oohhh, the ending is really interesting. And the "Artificial Species" in the name confirms that Neans are more like artificial humans, rather than robots. And I'm thinking that Rouge's violation is "Neans can't hurt humans". So it's because of her punching spree lol. But Naomi didn't really react to that, so I'm not sure.
This was fun lol. There were murders and all, but it felt more like a comedy.

Beating the shit out of everyone is fine, but kicking an actual dog would've been too much lmao.

Determining which one is fake via a question the real Rouge couldn't answer is such a classic trope, lol.

Fun to catch a murder episode again with a twist and cliffhanger ending.

I wonder why she got arrested. Is it for beating the people? Maybe next episode they will finally start explaining some stuff.

Both in German Dub and Sub he is saying that he will he will quit smoking. So maybe the English version is mistranslated.

When Gene is talking to his boss they say they discovered a spy from Ochrona - their rival agency as I understand - and it's clearly Naomi.
I guess they have their own agenda, and arresting Rouge is part of it? Maybe she was set up, we'll see what she's being charged with.

The first half was boring and the whole thing with the murders was not very convincing, but since the confrontation with this Jaron started, the episode has become much better, a lot of good humor (sometimes too absurd) did Rouge really beat up the civilians? xDDD I also liked the dynamics of our girls . The drawings were bad at the beginning but during the action as usual I was not disappointed, it was epic, especially with this new soundtrack. The cliffhanger was also nice.

This was a murder comedy and not a mystery lol. Rouge punching every freaking one of them was hilarious. Giallon is dead now or? Though more importantly Naomi was working for ochrona all along? Damn.

Another mystery for Naomi and Rogue to tackle. A shapeshifting enemy who can be anyone and anywhere. The murder case aspect wasn’t that strong, but man Rogue was great in this one. I did not expect her to actually go up and down the line punching people to lure Galion out. She definitely threw in an extra punch to the dude who said she would never get married. Idk what buddy was thinking, I’d marry her for sure.

I don’t think Galion is dead, otherwise the sphere would be lost..

But that ending wow, Naomi really called the cops on Rogue? I’m guessing because she hurt humans, but she didn’t look like it was that serious when it was actually happening.. wild twist.

Also, the “artificial species” name suggests that Neans are artificially created humans rather than androids.. very interesting. Blade runner vibes continue to get stronger

Jaron is absolutely fabulous, including that yellow rabbit mecha he turns into like some sort of magical girl XD

I love how Rouge's solution is to punch everyone, including kicking a dog in the face—not a fan of how Naomi arrests her right after she defeats Jaron tho, it really paints a picture of Naomi using Rouge when it's convenient and then dumping her when it fits with the law. Ngl I started this anime for yuri vibes and the potential dynamic btwn Rouge and Naomi, and while there are some fun moments, most of the time they just act like coworkers who barely tolerate each other :P

I´m not a fan of seeing animals being hurt in media, but I let out a laugh when she kicked the dog. They made it rally comical. But that probably means that the murderer killed the dog, right? He doesn´t have to kill to impersonate, but it didn´t seem like killing would be a problem.
Now Rouge is arrasted? Let´s see how she gets out of that one.

This episode reminded me that this show works far better as nonsensical shenanigans, rather than a slick action series, a cerebral thriller, or any kind of philosophical examination of AI and free will. "Don't worry about it, look, there's a wild goose chase happening!"

The math pop quiz and the dog-punching parts were pretty funny.

Decent episode that was pretty entertaining. It was a little weird how there were comedy bits thrown in during the murders but it does seem to work better than when it takes itself completely serious.

I'm not sure what's going on with Naomi having Rouge arrested but hopefully it's a plan that Naomi has thought out to get both of them out of trouble, we'll see.

Last episode threw me for a loop! Remember how Gene (Rouge's brother) said they needed to avenge their dad's death, and we thought the Red Gladiator(Rouge) did it? Turns out, today's episode dropped and cleared the confusion: Jaron just mimicked the Red Gladiator's look and offed their dad himself lol

Murder mystery? Nah, that was too comedic to be a mystery.

The Jaron fight was pretty cool, even though it ended with Jaron escaping. 

Naomi, at the end, what? Welp, Rouge is getting arrested.

Naomi didn't seem too happy about turning Rouge over so maybe she didn't betray her, I don't know.

Pretty cool that the ship had it's own gravitational pull, just enough so that Rouge could drop kick Jaron and she lands on her back like it's normal gravity but he gets sent flying into the gravity well.

I love Rouge's solution to the mystery. Punch everything, even the dog!

Personally I'm still onboard with this show. It still hasn't revealed its true goal yet and I'm interested enough in the mysteries and world to see what that is.

I like Rouge's methods. Just beat the tar out of the people, and the dog too! She's so fired up for it.

I feel like Naomi's going to have to make a choice at some point to side with Rouge or side with the Ministry/government. It's still hard to tell what Rouge actually is to her, by that ending.

Punching people to find the bad guy... 😂
A dog can weigh 82.2 kg? That's insane if that's the truth. Rouge saw something when she looked at the dog. Not sure which violation Rouge committed, but if it's punching the humans, then Naomi had to stop her before it happened. Unless Naomi is a so-called partner, but really an agent..

Great episode we got to see Rouge in swimwear for the majority of this episode and I couldn’t take my eyes off her once during this episode😫😫

And yo wtf why is Naomi doing Rouge dirty like this? There has to be a reason for this tbh bc ain’t no way we’re 6 episodes in and Naomi is the fake friend, like that just wouldn’t work imo🫤

I’m still fucking with this show it’s story is intriguing full of mysteries and the animation is so crisp and good especially on the mecha scenes I still can’t believe we haven’t seen any cgi yet👍🏽🔥

Rouge punching everyone was funny

the other guy now knows Rouge is the red robot, oh no

wtf happened at the end? did she get arrested because of punching people? if so, she did it to save them, maybe they should have just been murdered instead lol ...
