| Wait, Onishi's dead? I said earlier this was like Berserk but I didn't want it to end up like this 0_0 |

| No opening, things really are coming to a close. I only barely half understand everything that's going on, and yet I'd be lying if I said I wasn't still absolutely intrigued by each and every episode; especially these past few episodes and this one in particular. You don't need to have a clear grasp on things to feel how depressing this episode was. Quite masterfully done, no less. |

| I'm really sad for Oonishi's death, especially the cowardly and pointless manner in which he was killed. I hate the cards the story dealt to his secretary, but it serves one point - it shows to watchers why Organo's rule was needed and Oonishi was the best man to keep the psychos in this city under iron rule. On the other hand I'm rather disappointed by Shinji - while he does have his reasons, he turned out to be just another psychopath. I don't mean just his last actions before death, even the Rakan's origin are revealed to be those of a rowdy murderous gang. To those asking why Ichise cares about Ran while knowing very little about her, the guy straight out said it during the episode. He is a man of duty and can't turn a blind eye to the times he was saved by someone. He is showing a similar appreciation of Oonishi. |

| Considering the themes of this anime, I'm surprised it took until the final episodes for any relevant character to die. |

| I legit think Onishi is about the only real charm this anime has to offer. The guy went through astounding development for the whole course of the anime and it was simply well done in many ways. If only Kimata had the same amount of care as Onishi did because he is also badass and shared a very dynamic relationship with Onishi. |
| 1. I don't know who's Theoria. it's probably important, a shame there's so little material you can find about Texhnolyze online 2. we were already told way back then that the city folk's eyes were originally different, probably pointing out to their "essence" (as in Texhnolyze's world humans are not the same as our's, they're either Theonormal or the other, dangerous kind). they were somehow kept in check by some kind of imposed order (gabe, organo), but now it seems that with all that's happening (and it's implied that Ran, while Ichise and Doc were above ground, showed her visions to the masses) their 'bad genes' are manifesting 3. Ichise was the only one who's eyes were already in their 'true form' since the beginning, as pointed out by Doc. it fits with his earlier animalistic behavior. 4. Oonishi is one of the few who managed to not give in to insanity, which also fits with Kano's reproches about him being the reason the city was under an 'imposed equilibrium' 5. it's also confirmed that Ran has been the one talking with Oonishi all this time 6. knowing about Konaka's usual fixations (the internet becoming a sort of colective conciousness in Lain, all the stuff in Ghost Hound) i sort of have this idea that when Kano says that he's the brain of this world, he really means it. the city of Lukuss always had a symbolic place in this show (something more than just a literal city), with thoughts and images passing through person to person, like a neuronal network. Kano wants to be the head of the city. 7. Kano's explaining his genealogy, to me, serves to further sement their society as something different than ours (as human evolution is one of the series main motifs) 8. there's apparently a direct connection between the Obelisk (the thing that keeps Texhnolyzed limbs working, probably the thing that makes the Voice of City echoes,and a constantly repeated visual motif in the series) and Ran (the one who can consciously comunicate 'telephatically' with others) |
Elmm said: Oonishi's secretary dying and being treated like that before her death seriously pissed me off. I thought she was strong. That was the most depressing part of this episode for me. PalePurple said: Yeah, i really don't think the secretary scene was necessary.. she had been a badass through the whole series, being able to drive Onishi out of the war area, even when she had a bullet in the gut - couldn't they have let her die On her feet, fighting like Onishi? Even Shinji was given that courtesy.. exactly this. |
