| odd pacing aside which has been a thing with this show my head hurts with this fever dream because there's enough there to pick apart of what is real but im just gonna sip some tea and let this show do it's thing Eden shows up and takes what he wants and then leaves |
 |
| Ok this just straight up turned Ergo Proxy weird...and I love it. |
| I was confused watching the first half, not gonna lie. I was able to piece everything together afterwards, but there was just a lot of stuff to understand. We got Rogue's background, or some of it, and more information about the Immortal Nine. |
 |
| I think we're getting a little bit of a play on words here when Rouge picks up an I.D. I thought it was strange when they were calling it an "id" earlier in the series too. The core principal of the show seems to be about desire, which is being labelled as freedom when major characters talk about it so far in the series. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the I.D.s are actually "ids", and that the conscience of the Nean's are still available in those little orbs... |

| Clown girls animation was crazy. Looks like things are heating up. |

this is such a 2005-2009 anime lol
| @EcchiGodMamster This is exactly how I feel. We've had so many other sci-fi shows do this stuff better in the last 20 years and this just feels like nostalgia pandering for people who "like anime" and have only seen enough to count on two hands. 'From the producers who watched Cowboy Bebop' and forgot to have any likable characters. |

| Interesting, I'm assuming here but those are the nean liberator guys, and they wanted her code that allowed for her to fight and live a more normal life than the rest of the nean's. If that's the case, will we see more combat or a nean war break out, it's interesting not having a reference material for this. |

| @Neneaux i was just saying... aint nothing wrong with going with nostalgia im glad to know they still make anime that feel like shows that came out 10-20 years ago, cause this seems like something that would have come on Anime Unleashed on TechTV or when anime was on the Syfy channel in the early/mid 2000s BUT i DO agree this show is honestly kinda meh... its just too "safe" for me |

| Wellstown is in quite a mess, and Naomi is searching for Rouge, though it seems like she's wandered into dreamland. Quite the backstory on Rouge as both Naomi and Eden Varock manages to get access into the circus through bribery, though they soon assimilate that the Usurpers had something to do with their situation. Even as is with Gene Junghardt being her adoptive big brother, and Rouge being a betrayal to Neans of her kind, she's a killer of her own accord. But with their father killed by the Immortal Nine, both Gene and Rouge have essentially been assassinators, with this Code Eve stuck within Rouge herself. And here, the Puppetmaster is trying to save people like Rouge, when in reality, they're acting the opposite once they manage to find their objective. And a Gladiator saving both girls so that Rouge can focus on her fight with the troupe girl Opera, they at least managed to escape, though she will come back for them soon once she's matured. This was an eye-opener episode to get to understand Rouge better, and her thought process of being the Nean that is looked for and against the population. |

| @EcchiGodMamster Considering Pluto came out recently, if you watched that it just makes this show feels super dumb like it's trying to hit similar notes but wants to be super vague by just omitting a shit ton of details. |
| That classical Clair de lune by Debussy btw, really like it. |
 |
| Naomi is super hot, such a delicious choco-coffee waifu god damnit, just make her gay already |

| @Neneaux nah, never watched pluto, didn't see enough girls lol... then again, the girls are pretty lacking here too, at least in the way i want them but its kinda hard to tell whats going on in this show and it definitely don't feel like yuri-bait |
|
| The carnival people straight up had to be the aliens, I am fairly sure. My only regret this episode is that the combat goth chick flew off in the spaceship so I assume she's out of the story for now. |
| Art and animation were pretty rough in a lot of places but very good in others, sometimes alternating cut-to-cut. I was getting whiplash. Cool-looking clown/puppet imagery. Loved how strange the pig-tail clown girl moved in the beginning of the fight. |
| The very start confused the heck out of me, thought I somehow missed an episode lol. |

Guys, deadass, is this good? If so, I'll give it a try. I've never watched an anime this new lmao
| @Bananko00 Very hard to say. People seem pretty divided. It's difficult to nail down what the show is trying to do. Kinda confusing and lots of questions. Most of us here are just enjoying the ride, I think. Watch a trailer, and try it out if you like the art style. If not sure, wait till it finishes airing and look up some reviews then. |
| The little disjointed bits of Rouge's memories are really intriguing, and I'm guessing the other "sister"/blue-haired Rouge was some kind of original human version before the Rouge we kno was made. |
| Amazing dream / memory sequence and we've got some absolutely cool as shit antagonists now, Bones doesn't miss. |

@gorkthe134th Have you ever seen a cockroach swarm?
| @leonardobarba Thankfully I have not seen a whole swarm irl, but a sigle cockroach is enough to traumatize someone for life! |
| The whole fight with the circus lady had some sick animation, and we're getting more hints with the Usurper stuff. Things are coming together in interesting ways and we're still early in, I love this anime so far. |
Undefeated  Bahamut |
| I knew that guy was one of the 9 and poor Rouge having almost everyone manipulate her one way or another. |
 |
| Somehow Rouge was kidnapped, but I wonder what the person extracted from her. That's Project Eve? |
 |
| We finally learned a little bit about why Rouge is on this mission to kill the Immortal 9. They supposedly killed her father / creator, but we still don’t know why they did it. The whole dream sequence was so confusing, but I believe it was supposed to be since it was from Rouge’s perspective. I like that we are getting more answers, and the action was amazing as well. (8/10) |
| Well someone ships the support with immortal nine gun boy, and that someone is me. Not only did Naomi and Eden have some chill chemistry but then he stepped in to protect her and seems to be eager to help both girls. He is a much on the side of good as a character in this show can be. P.S. By now that one desert bus was full to the brim with immortal nine members and somehow nobody bet an eye. |

Nahhhhhh bro WTF was that first half of the episode every one of Rouge’s memories were all jumbled up mixed up like a remix I couldn’t even understand what the fuck was going on until it was revealed that it was the puppet master (whoever that nigga is💀) who was making her dream like that which was SOOOOO trippy my brain couldn’t keep it together🤣🤣🤣🤣
The animation with Naomi shooting the twin tail gothic girl was so fucking amazing and when Rouge punched her the animation was amazing as well idk what bones did with this second half but they were cooking😫🔥
The Black Gladiator being the black dude was a shocker to me I did NOT KNOW bro had a mecha type power up like Rouge, my bro wasn’t just all talk after all
I’m definitely liking this show I’m pretty sure why it’s not well liked in this comment section is bc some of you ppl aren’t paying attention to the lines and aren’t patient enough to wait for the rest of the episode to drop🤷🏽♂️

| i'm sorry but i'm too stupid to follow this story lmao |
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons  |
| Director going full RahXephon again here, with the difference that RahXephon is actually good. |
| I think it would be better if they did some simple sci fi action story, like Lycoris Recoil. Now we have some deep?! story with too many questions. Animation looks awesome as always. |

| Boards are all over the place, with agonizingly off-model characters and lackluster action sequences. What the hell happened to the production? |
 |
| Anyone else feel lost at the start of the episode? I feel like we missed something between episode 4 and 5. |
 |
| Seems pretty clear that Rouge will have to find a middle ground, break off from the dogma and take her handler with her, but find a path between the extremist Neans and the neutered ones. Bring true freedom and peace to the solar system. That's what I think, anyways. |
| Truly a whacked out, hallucination filled, confusing in every way, episode. |
| It was the most interesting episode so far. |
| It really felt like there were 10 minutes missing at the beginning of the episode. We went from a scene with the flying circus heading to the Nean facility last episode to now seeing Rouge already kidnapped in this one. sigh* Pacing issues again... |
