Well I just finished episode seven, and I can tell this anime is shaping up to have a great story. I have no idea as to how Vincent plays a role in the plot, and I can't wait to figure it out. The animation for this show is absolutely amazing! Also, Shinsen-Subs has done an outstanding job with the sub job. If anyone would like to discuss this episode in particular, please reply!

Texhnolyze seemed a bit similar, at least that was the first impression i got...Although I only took a quick look through the first episode so far, so I may be wrong...

So Real (Re-L)? "died."

I'll be waiting for her to pop up at some later point.

I have to say that I'm really enjoying this series so far. Looking forward to the next episode since it seems that there's some action going on.

Good episode. This anime is really getting better and better by each episode. It's interesting that the Proxy is from the Dome that vincent comes from, it explains a lot of things.

so I'm gonna throw a wild guess here and say that re-l is gonna get well with her fast ability to heal (I'm guessing RE-L124C41+ has something to do with it). then wake up only to find out that her ability is similar to the proxy, and get out of the dome to look for vincent.
no. maybe? heh probably too far off.
I'm still keeping my hopes up for her to get well.

The episode's title: re-l124c41+ is really cool. From researching Ergo Proxy in the net it seems that 124c41+ was the title of a series of sci-fi articles published during the first decade of the 20th century (Ralph 124c41+) by Hugo Gernsback.

Also re-l124c41+ is read as: Re-l, one to foresee for one! Isn't she at this point in the series discovering and witnessing many things that are sometimes beyond her comprehension?

Good job on the research there man. I saw the numbers/letters on the screen and thought it was integral.

But that's cool that it's one to foresee for one, and she was indeed uncovering some truths.

I don't want to believe it.

Vincent's journey to Moscow is as bleak as it gets, it's sad that the people from the commune are dying one by one but somehow I think he alone will make it. I really didn't expect Re-l to get stabbed but surely they can't kill of they main character...can they?

Fail subbers are full of fail. Re-l turns to Lil and timing has been off for 3 to 4 episodes. I am actually not sure about the entirety of the anime. For now, it seems rather slow and draggy. Hopefully something faster will happen with Re-l's death certificate. Let's hope we get some more twists and surprises.

Triple Edit lol: 124C41+ looks like a tag or code of a death certificate. That's my guess. I think it's a bit far fetched to start assuming they're documenting people with special powers with some random code...

Great episode! Answers some questions and starts raising a lot of physiological and ethic questions as well as very interesting themes within the story. The characters are fantastic, and the slow pace in the first episodes build up nicely for a very interesting series.

Oh interesting! I was actually going to search it up myself but I'm glad someone already did! It was obvious that since we as the audience don't understand the letters/numbers yet we keep seeing them in a close-up, it must mean something, or allude to something :) I love allusions, even when I don't understand them.

Exaactly what I thought. She has some kind of healing ability and of course Daedalus is always on her side.

Ooh, interesting. It never occurred to me that there might be some extra meaning... I thought I could make out something like 'Identification Number' on the death certificate and thought everyone must have one. Seeing as this has that sort of 'Brave New World' type feel to it (with the human 'production line' and all) I assumed it must be the sort of society to label it's citizens with numbers...

I love it when Vincent gets serious and we get to see his eyes. Also, I'm sure he'll make it. After all, with the amount of precision Pino showed us with the drawings he could just hand her a gun and tell her how it works...

Going to guess that he is faking her death . . . Since he actually cares for her safety (not because the grandpa ordered it) and because he knows that the Security Bureau guy wants her dead. So having her "die" would be the safest thing for her.

The 'collective' is so confusing. Why are there seemingly statues of Greek gods governing Romdeau, does it represent the arrogance and ignorance of the city's leaders and the inevitability that the fall with fall, just as the Roman Empire did? Or is that a stretch.....

I also see that Re-l's make up got washed off her face, her city self is 'unmasked' and she now realises the truth.

Iggy quote that I laughed way too hard at "Re-l, are you okay? You look pale?". heuheueh
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit...

Pretty good episode.

Kinda don't get what's going on in this episode.

Hmm. Re-I looks completely different without her eye makeup. Still cute either way though. Was quite surprised that Re-I got stabbed. Though, she will be okay. Can't believe while reading the comments in this episode thinking she will be dead like really. There's no way that will ever happened so early. That name of Re-I. Hmm. Interesting.

Vincent go is now going to where he was first born in. Ehh. Nothing else to say other than hope his stupid self won't get trapped.

Hmm so immigrants are people from other domes and the Monad proxy is actually from there. Interesting.

Just when I thought things were starting to make sense just a little bit, another mystery is thrown in. Re-L. Real? What?

God damn Re-L is only 19 years old? I'm 19 as well and doing the mundane study for a degree at university and she's already on some epic quest to find answers and kicking ass, killing robots. It always felt like she was way older. Damn I feel envious. I'm really liking where this is going though, I'm excited to see how Re-L will tackle this journey now, she'll probably start off by escaping the city with Daedalus' help after she heals and go after Vincent. Can't wait.
The afternoon has gently passed me by
The evening spreads its sail against the sky
Waiting for tomorrow
Just another day
God bid yesterday goodbye...
