@Albi-kun Why would have being an 86 fan any relevance in the case of this anime? 86 is a war drama (a pretty mediocre one to be honest) and Metallic Rouge an action sci-fi anime about human-robot relationship. The only common thing between the two that both series have mechs and that's it, all the themes the two shows have are completely different (yeah once mentioned in MR about discrimination but we don't fully know if it will be discussed or play an important role in the story yet.
| @DreadfulControl I think it's relevant enough. We basically agree on everything. |
| This series left me confused in the beginning, but now things are making some sense. Looking forward to the next weeks. |

| The Blade Runner incident has got everyone in arms, though I'd love the small nitpicks like Naomi and Rouge playing rock-paper-scissors to see who can get the window seat, and teaching the young'uns Miguel and Emily about the world in large, between the humans, Neans (who are programmed with the Asimov Code) and Usurpers, and their war on Mars. Likewise, Jill the journalist going to Wellstown as much as the two girls, along with the mix of people in the transit bus. As expected, some mercenaries are targeting Rouge, which the mix of people are a bunch of helpers of all kinds alike, from a doctor to Nean The private group Suns of Ares being hired-to-kill mercenaries for the group who escaped into the woods, only to see an Usurper war machine be activated due to Emily's curiosity. And this Cylinder Head is no mere war machine, as Rouge faces it while everyone runs to safety, trigger many more Cylinder Heads that at first, proves difficult to take down, then Rouge giving her best to defeat the mass. Rouge has grown up...by sharing her chocolate to the children. There's still a lot to explore about this world, which is quite fascinating. |

| This felt straight out of trigun with the energy and the way it had a focus on a bunch of one off npcs with lots of personality. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| "I work with bodies." "So... a masseuse?" Can't blame her for thinking of THAT occupation first after hearing Kenjirou Tsuda's voice |

| The music during the last fight was awesome and strong. Though I still cannot focus too much while watching this series, sad |
   |
| So far I like the characters dynamics. the music is great, and the animation seems on point. I appreciate the few explanations given in this episode (even though some we could realize by context, it is nice for these to be explained). I still need some context on who Rouge and Naomi really are, hopefully we can get more of that in following episodes. |

| This was a much better episode than the first, maybe they should have started with this one, the previous hardly added much anyway. |
  |
| Well, it was a lot better than the first episode. Which isn't hard. I'm glad it wasn't such a mess anymore. "Reducing" the world to the bus squad was very nice and I could actually follow the plot. It was very pretty too. All in all it reminded me of Trigun Stampede, which I liked a lot. But there is still one mayor problem. I don't care the slightest bit about Rouge and Naomi. If anything, they are annoying. And if they are supposed to be protagonists to root for, the writers are doing a horrible job here. |
| Alright, gotta give props where they're due. That shit was cool. The soundtrack is always a major reason why I'm hooked; it just hits. Rogue not sharing her chocolate and playing the "I'm just a kid" card to justify it was funny. But then, seeing her bond with the girl later in the episode and kinda "grow up" – that was really sweet. Woof. |
 |
| Rouge barking at Naomi was pretty cute ngl. |
| Ugh so now to hear the opener, which is just as annoying and smug as the characters in this anime. Then as soon as the episode begins, the characters start throwing TERMS around again. "They're called Usurpers" and "have to follow the Asimov Code" and "what happens when the Mercs come back?" "The Sons of Aries" And this Naomi chick is unbelievably annoying. She's smug as fuck and always has this confident grin like she knows everything in the world, has no worries or fears, and walks up to people like this investigator dude on the transport and starts acting like a total ass hat. And she NEVER SHUTS UP. At one point when they break down, she claims there's an abandoned military base from "the war" and there might be spare parts for their vehicle or what ever. Wait- WHAT? There's no way this smug chick can possibly have any idea where they are after randomly driving around to escape mercenaries. And even if she led them there- some abandoned place in the middle of facking nowhere isn't going to have spare parts for any random vehicle. Are they gonna wake up one of the SKELETONS and ask for some? "Oh you need a half axle for this exact model 8 wheeled off-road vehicle? Certainly we've gone one in the back sir" Then some ridiculous spider looking thing shows up and attacks the mercenaries ("Is that a Cylinder Head?") (When I heard the words, I thought they actually found the part they needed for their vehicle) Instead of writing a decent story, they've created this huge vocabulary of terms that are already existing words used to describe things in the 'world'. Not very good. |

| The episode was good, there wasn't much action but it was cool to learn about what happened on Mars, that old lady's voice dubbed in Portuguese is funny xD. |
  |
| Not as narratively bad as the first episode, but a lot of big elements introduced, like a war with aliens. It's looking like we won. I think a big issue so far is we really don't know anything about the two main characters. Who are these two, exactly? We know they work together, but why? And for who? What is their relationship? And by that I mean, does Naomi receive the request of what they need to do next, plus reconnaissance, and Rouge executes whatever the plan is? We just know they know each other and travel together, but that's it. It's hard to root for them because of how disconnected we are. They aren't being very subtle about the themes they're trying to push either. It's obvious the Nean's are treated as second class citizens while all humans are fat cats. They could try being less on the nose about it, because it's becoming eye rolling every time you see it. |
| The desert environment of Mars gives me Trigun vibes. Vostok-class? Where Gagarin at. Naomi really loves to drop exposition. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| That was better than the first episode. If the Nean have markings and Rouge only has any markings appear while about to change form then I wonder what she is. That granny was fun lol. |

| Kind of contradictory to start with an expo dump after the way the first episode was set up. But I guess explaining about the Usurpers at the beginning doesn't lead to them explain it during the action to stop the flow. Now, the action scene was kinda haphazard. Also, can't really tell which parts were boarded by Muraki and which were by Nakamura. Also, big shame using the inferior version of the ost. |
| This is so non-serious it hurts, I don't think I can keep going with this one. |
| Rogue is childish and Naomi is just arrogant, what a combination to have together lmao. Battle went hard though ngl and they left us with questions about the Neans, at least we know some alients exist. Not bad so far for this ep |
| A nice roboto animu. |
 |
| Hah Naomi become a tour guide there, and somehow Tsudaken actually involved here, as a doctor. Sick action scene, decent in minimal. Rouge taking care of the mars mercenaries, with plus 30 seconds. Fucking kids messed up the sleeping battle scrap bot on the night, which turned up still functioning, and that's where Rouge reveal her identity do more action crap. Idk if those people will care enough but i am questioning where the hell that one ex-military Nean? Poor man get left behind perhaps xd... |
