| There is a very strong WTF element to this series. I suspected she was alive, but the devil was she doing in that strange domed middle America circa 1980's town? Could Re-L be a proxy too I wonder? |

Could Re-L be a proxy too I wonder? Watching now as well and had the same thoughts...but yeah love the wtf aspect of this show. It's like a gradual mind fuck that you want more and more of. |
| While it may be true that Daedalus is obsessed with Re-l, the "box hug" scene wasn't really very awkward at all. If you payed attention, he was put into that position whenever Raul shoved him against the box. When Raul left the room, Daedalus didn't move, but rather he stayed in the same position and rested his head against the box. So yeah, nothing out of the ordinary there... Well, actually, there were a lot of things that could be considered out of the ordinary, but for that particular thing nothing was really odd about it. |
| Some parts of this post may be exaggerated. |
| Another great episode, this series is just fantastic. I don't even feel confused at the minute, there are just some things that we haven't be told just yet, and im ok with that :P Anyway, he can continue his research, im wondering about daedalus monologue about lil and if it's related to the proxy. Lil has some proxy killing bullets and it wasnt raul who "killed" Lil, though i never thought it was even him in the first place, so i wasn't surprised at that lol I want to keep on watching but i have to sleep :'( Also noting it's only on episode 10 and the plot is going to probably get clotted with a shit tonne more mystery, i hope it doesn't turn into lain... EDIT: Daedalus monologue was probably just noting that really, his raison detre is very much still in tact, and he is pretty damn happy bout that :P |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| If energy is such a concern, then why are they wasting so much on a city that nobody is living in? . . . Anyways, looks like Re-l is going back outside. |
 |
| so i totally thought deadalus was a girl, and Raul is probably the most closet person i know. He is definitely planning on doing inappropriate things to deadalus and i'm scared for him :00 |

Coldbid said: k, everyone seems to like the molesting scene but I still dont understand how real is alive! I must have missed something. This anime hurts my brain. also everyone seems to be missing the fact that Daedalus freaking said to Monad "My Lil/Re-L" geezz |
| Daedalus is a boy Now that's a plot twist. |

| I thought Daedalus was a young woman at first , I guess I was wrong about that , anyway this was quite an interesting episode , it's great to see Real Mayor once again and her Autoreiv , I enjoyed this and am looking forward to seeing what happens next :D |
| Everyone in this show has chronic traitor syndrome. Raul is such a magnificent bastard but Daedrus is sympathetically insane while Vincent is getting there. And Re-L is how you make a badass show vulnerability and emotion. I thought this show would be stupid hard to get into given the audience I see getting into it, but it's about as accessible as Naruto. Who'd a thunk? |
 |
| Wait what...why is Daedalus calling Monad Re-L? I'm so confused >__< |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| This episode was kinda boring :/ |

Merril said: Raul Creed after cornering Daedalus pins him against the wall and looks like hes about to kiss him. Then he says "If necessary, I can show you that I can play rough"... did anyone else really get freaked out? Between this and Raul's "adult toys", all I could think was "Bad Touch!". I guess Raul likes them young, LOL. Other than that, the town without humans was pretty weird. I don't see the point of it or how Re-l managed to get there. |
| Daedalus is going to be a yandere, yeaaah I can imagine that :o his obsession with Re-l isn't normal. At first I though he was a girl so...never mind |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| watching this for the 3rd time. this episode is super intensive with story stuff, just like the 9th episode. Some stuff I picked up for the first time |

| This is so excellent. Everytime I think the setting can't become any cooler they just add something amazingly fitting. This time it's the lost city where all the robots keep their routine. I think I would have hated it to watch this show when it was airing. Try to imagine the 3 weeks wait until you hear about Re-L again... |
 |
| Wow... i thought Dae was a girl. . . . Traps. They're everywhere... EVERYWHERE. |
 |
| Yeahh I don't like him after all.. that creepy Daedalus. Now Monad is Re-L.. what the heck. This is too min boggling. Forget the end.. I can't even see where this is heading. |
| I legit thought Deadalus was a girl till this point, and then "toys" happened and I lost my senses. like WTH but okay. I don't even know, I still think Raul raped Dea (even tho it's unlikely) 'cause why not? It's so damn interesting and Zell182 said: how homoerotic was Raul's 'attack' on Daedalus? XD Also, I still don't know how Raul and Dea managed to conclude that Re-l is alive, but okay. |
 |
| I'm going to assume that the scenes with Re-L happened way after the scenes with Daedelus. Otherwise how would she have the anti-Proxy ammo? This also leads me to believe Re-L is the Monad proxy as Daedelus groped Monad and called it "My Lil". I'm prepared to be wrong though... What a weird show. |
| That yaoi.. Adult toys plus typical seme x uke scene lol Knew it, lil wasnt dead |
 |
| Here's another thing I just noticed: blood in this show is portrayed oddly. It looks really dulled out, half the time making me question if a person is bleeding or spewing some form of crude oil. Now for the episode itself. The idea for a society based around manufactured humans, produced with singular purposes in life to act as cogs in a grander machine - this certainly reminds me of certain real world parallels, though I think divulging onto those would be an invitation to load of headaches. |
| Ofc she's not dead! She's the main character! Main character in the cover! How can she be dead? xD There's nothing wrong with the adult talking about toys ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
"Signature removed"   |
| The little girl was creepy, it suggested that if Re-L was being groomed to replace her grandfather that much like a defective part she could easily be replaced. Her grandfather isn't completely dead inside, obviously it really destroyed him to order the assassination. The fact that Raul plainly speaks to his auto reiv suggests that he's telling the truth. The only confusing part is whether the little girl was phsyically real, or maybe Re-L's memories manifested as a younger version of her. The sudden make-up appearance at the end suggests so. Re-L being secretly alive was no twist, it's funny, I usually miss these things. She's the MC, she wanted to leave the dome. It made perfect sense to fool the enemies and then get 'permission' to go outside. Also Raul not clasping his hands and rubbing them in the aftermarth also suggested that the regent or terrorists were responsible. |
| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| Well this is getting more interesting, the show not only focus on mysteries but also on psychological as well. The final scene with the robot leaving its position seem amiss, anyway i hope everything will be answered in the late game. Execution is getting better and the sound never ceased to amaze me. |
| very YAOI-ish moment between Daedalus & Raul......a bit creepy when he rammed Daedalus......I was like thinking that this scene gonna be from some gay movie.....ughh...I'm not against LBGT or anything.....but dude....look...Daedalus looks like a smal/average kid....and Raul....Raul is similar to some kinda predator from the 1880s..... And then Re-L in some kinda Ghost town...still an interesting episode though |
 |
| That was nice, I finally understood some things without looking up any analysis first. I mean, I still did, but yeah. The three agents from Romdeau have each rejected their programming and decided to do their own things, and now they are in the middle of figuring out what that thing is. At the final scene where Daedalus is calling Re-l's name next to Monad, for a second I thought it would be revealed that Re-l is Monad and she's just dreaming. But nah, that wouldn't make sense. |
| Random yaoi vibes out of left field. |
 |
| A lot of information is revealed in this episode... in the form of riddles. |
  |
| I miss Pino...... |
   |
| Nice episode! She's alive, i knew it! Now the question is, she's a proxy too? :O |
| picked this up again afer almost 2 years i remember the sow was ok but not good enough to rewatch it now (my opinion) A lot was surly confusing cause oft this even if I remember the show quite confusing let's see how this goes on |
 |
| Why is that city totally empty? And the cemetery is huge, as if all the inhabitants had already died. Is this just a detail without importance or is this ghost town a sign of something creepier? I feel so curious now! XD |
| that was gay as fuck |

| Kinda obvious Re-L wouldn't die. Daedalus would never let that happen. Still, it seems the dome really has lots of secrets. Like sectors of the place not being inhabitant by anyone. Also, seeing Little Re-L!!     |

| thought Daedalus was about to get raped when Raul was pushing him against the glass, thank goodness it didn’t go that route |
 |
| so if they're not birthing people to live in those places then does that mean that now the few that are born exist to serve the robots? i can't think of why else they'd choose not to repopulate |
 |
| Woah the animators found out how to use color :o I wasn’t expecting Raul to be this sus lol |
