THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It seems that the plant seen at the end of the previous episode, called Lafia, is used to help with transplanting organs and, from what I guess, the Texhnolyze as well. And here I thought it was only supposed to symbolize something.

I don't know what the old guy that was narrating was talking about but it sounds important, something about the facility he was working on to be crucial in the lives of everyone at the city. From the looks of it, they're shutting it down again so I'm suppose to expect something like panic and chaos in the next episode?

Felt good seeing the main guy punch the bastard who cut his limbs off. Felt even better to see the main guy decide to use his real arm.

I'm with you - this was one of the most justified beating I have seen in ages.

Six episodes in and I still don't know how to spell the title. :\

Onishi's wife has got the crazies going on. Talking to herself on the phone. Maybe I should try that sometime. Hello Jim. Hello Bob. How's the weather these days? Fine? Good to hear! Good to hear...

This episode only added a few more questions, like what the hell was Onishi's wife doing, and what was the traveler talking about with the Doc.

The factory is also a mystery, not sure how relevant it is to the city itself, maybe it's what keeps the city alive? And what was that story about changing the color of the eyes? :o

Weird episode.

Finally Ichise seems to be accepting his new limbs!

Isn't the facility controlling daylight in Lukuss? I seem to understand that the city is not open to the atmosphere, I don't have a theory for the eyes though

I'm really warming up to Eriko and her obsession with creating a perfect texhnolyzed person. She's clearly not doing all this just for her client.

I think she was talking to the factory guy. Or were they both talking to themselves?

Atta boy. Got your revenge but you didn't go too far.

I think the hot doctor doesn't have long to live. Smily guy seems to be either be anti-texhnolyze fundamendalist or someone with a grudge. Either way, I think she goes soon.

This show is just getting better and better with each episode. It was already interesting enough in the first episode but now its about 10x better. I really enjoyed the part where he saw the mafia guys that cut off his limbs and chased after them. When he bashed open their window I couldn't help but laugh because I can only imagine what is going through the heads of the two guys when they see the guy whose limbs they just cut off like a week ago is now running with their car with new texhnolyzed limbs and bashing their window in with that scary-ass look on his face. He just completely rekt those guys while he can barely even control his new limbs and they are using guns and swords that shit was just crazy. He killed those guys so hard that they died to death because of course, "people die when they are killed" -shirou. Great episode one of the best anime episodes I've seen in a while. BTW that ending song is so good because it fits the series so well and adds a satisfying but depressing way to end an episode and its just so catchy. Probably one of my favorite anime ending songs.

It's getting better. Although I had heard the first 1/4 of the show was confusing and boring so I kind of expected it to get better around this point.

I see a lot of people not really paying attention or comprehending things that are quite simple. That facility he works at is what turns on the artificial "sunlight" in that underground city. I don't think he "shut down" the facility at the end, he just turned off the lights, after shutting off the "sun" to ensue the simulation of nighttime.

Uhm, did you not understand that bit? She is obviously having an affair, or some sort of dealings behind her husband's back. The "talking to the city" bit was an excuse to dodge the question of who was on the phone. It's been hinting that she's having an affair of sorts for quite a few episodes now.

You must've missed that the phone was unplugged. Onishi notices that it's unplugged, but she doesn't see him notice and he doesn't call her on it, he just plugs it back in so he can make a call. It was odd.

Felt good to see him use his own arm to punch the guy who cut his limbs.
The part where the wife was talking to no-one on the phone (since it wasnt plugged) was a bit weird.

Huh, wonder why I overlooked that detail. But it has been hinting at her having some affair behind his back. Or maybe she's just crazy.

It was pretty tight to see how he had the choice to fight with his mechanical, and assumed stronger, arm but chose his real one instead. Also, the dude with the sword in his leg had horrible aim.

Boy, Ichise went berserk when he saw those guys, but thats understandable. Quite badass of him how he took tare of them, in the end he was still caught, though.

Yea it was certainly satisfying watching him beat the crap out of that gangster, also interesting that he decided to use his own fist instead of the artificial one. Just a dam shame those other gangsters conveniently popped up out of nowhere.
