| Wow, the latter half of this anime completely trumps the first half. |
 |
| Awesome! Love that Laughing Man logo. Batou, you do know what goes up must come down, right? Probably not a good idea to fire 100 bullets straight up into the air! |
| And the Major is pissed off. That was pretty cool :D |
| Words aren't the only way to tell someone how you feel.- Tifa lockhart Which is it? A memory or us? -Tifa lockhart |
| Best episode by far. Loved the scene with the major all pissed off. The music really went well with that scene. It was as if I was watching a scene out of a movie. And we finally get to see laughing man's real face. So he was the wheelchair kid after all. He's turning out to be a really interesting character. 5/5 |
 |
| Shit's going to get even better now. |
| it's just IMPOSSIBLE to not give this 5/5. The action sequence is so flawlessly executed, the suspense brought it (for the first time) between the epic chase battle scene, and the ending was just...YEAHHHHHH!!! Great movie reference too! The movie was more kickass IMO though...only lacks the rage scene which just...HNNNNNGGGG |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| That episode was reallly great. I didn't see the time pass. So I was right about the pharmaceutical conspiracy. It was pretty much like we can see today in our modern world, greed over necessity. It was nice to see everyone so cranked up. Batou is always nice in action. The Major was fucking awesome, when she just continued to shoot on that suit. The guy must have been pissing himself. The fight in the hall was really cool. And man, motherfucking national spying! It looked a little like in Batman 2 (from the Nolan series) when they hacked the whole city to find one call in particular if I remember well. And finally, we saw the Laughing Man face. He truly is a talented hacker, to hack someone from 2 feet distance. |

| This was an EPIC episode OMG |
| Holy fuckin shit! The Major went absolute berserk! And as always, the Laughing man proves why he's the greatest troll in history. 5/5 |

| This series is just getting better and better. |
| Really epic episode, one in which section 9 must suffer to be able to prevail, sin drawings are not the best during the action scenes. The face of the greater and Batou in the throes of Rabia were appalling. I hope that Togusa does not have to do the conversion into a cyborg. As if to say, never underestimate the power of old men! XD The whole thing still seems full of mysteries, that storyline and compelling. The type of narcotics, had at least beat him bad. |
 |
| this is the definition of a flawless episode, holy hell it was absolutely incredible, even though they kind of revealed it all the way back in ep 12 we do finally have confirmation on the laughing me |

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 |
| wow that relentless one handed shot with the big gun 5/5 |
 |
| Fuckin rekt |
 |
| One of the best episodes of the season. Togusa is my favorite character and this episode shows how well he can work on his own. The action scenes with the team going after his attackers was awesome with a great OST to go along with it. It's good to see the Laughing Man again since I thought this arc was the strongest in the show. |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| Best episode so far, holy fucking balls this was good. Major completely fell apart at the end there. Once she saw that dudes face and probably remembered that he shot Togusa, yeah you're toast bro. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| fantastic episode |
 |
| And this is why Section 9 needs the Tachikomas back. Major came very close to dying as a result. I don't think Batou saw the Laughing Man's face. We saw it several episodes back when Togusa infiltrated that special care center for children. I still wonder where he came from and, well, about the rest of his story. It seems to me like he isn't an enemy of Section 9. |
| The fight between the major and the armed suit reminded me of that scene The major losing it at the end was... something. The laughing man turning out to be that kid (I think) we saw a couple of episodes back is also something. Fantastic episode. Really enjoyed it. |
 |
| Still so awesome after all this time. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Fuck now that was a fantastic call back to Oshii's film version. Shame all that effort to secure Imakurusu failed. |
 |
| Major's rage was just surreal. She must have holding it back. Nobody fucks with Section 9 and gets away unharmed |
 |
| Best episode so far loved it |
 |
| This episode is almost on par with the movie! Major Motoko in rage mode is scary! -------------------------------------------- |
| The Major went berserk in the end lol. Excellent Episode. |
| Damn the Major can be scary O_O Great episode. |
| I really enjoyed how they showed us the scene between the Laughing Man and Imakurusu through both Ima's eyes as well as the general audience's view; switching between seeing the butler's face and then seeing the logo was great. Enjoyed that homage to the original film there too, with the Major facing off against the suit. Man, she got pissed. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| You pissed the wrong person That armored pilot is done goofed up I hope he suffered a lot before he died because he injured Major so much xD Ehh.. that old man is really careless, paying with his life seems appropriate |
"Signature removed"   |
| Whow, this was one epic episode. I think this is my favorite one so far. The Major was so intense. And I thought it couldn't get any more emotional after Batou's breakdown and Togusa getting shot. Boy was I wrong..... |
 |
| One fucking moment and he went of dying shit Batou need's to control people more carefully. |
| Wow, Major was scary af! God damn it, I can't believe they lost him after all that... |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
TripleSRank said: And this is why Section 9 needs the Tachikomas back. Major came very close to dying as a result. Yeah i agree with it although we already discussed it, they could be dangerous if they start dissobeying. Best episode so far. 5/5 The fight scenes are on par with films and everything. This could be one of th bests episodes in all anime hands down. |
| -------- |
| This show gets better and better. Not gonna lie, when I started watching I didn't understand why it was considered a classic. I didn't dislike it, but it didn't blow my mind. But this just gets better with each episode. Gotta watch the next one! |
| Fantastic episode. Tachikoma's need to come back! |
 |
| Boy this gets exciting near the end! I just wish the complex episodes weren't so dispersed throughout the season tho... |
| What a fucking amazing episode ! Had goosebumps all over my body at the end. And I guess it's time to rewatch episode 11 :D |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Things are really coming together now! I pray the rest of the episodes are all complex ones. |
 |
| This episode i remembered perfectly and it shows why.Its simply awesome. There is a tangible sense of violence in those fights |

Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Angry Major is just awesome! Amazing episode but a bit sloppy by Batou at the end. I'm surprised the laughing man revealed himself like that. I thought they'd keep his identity secret until the very end. |
| I really want to know what is the EPIC about this ep. not bad btw 3.5/5 |
 |
| Dokodaa!! I feel you Batou. |
| NGL id considered dropping this because of how slow and boring it was getting but this episode changed that Now im hype again |
| rip Mecha lol good thing Togusa is alive. I never expected the old guy with the glasses to live... and I was proven right ;( |
