I swear half of this show is missing? It feels like scenes have been cut out like they've had to trim for episode count or length, it's bizarre and currently this show kind of stinks as it stands. Hopefully it did get trimmed so there's only 12 episodes total to watch of this dross and not 24 or worse!

It's hillarious how the dream makes so much more sense than the actual plot. I wish there was something on Naomi, she's nothing but annoying so far.

Will this at some point shape up to be any form of decent? I hope so. I still haven't abandoned hope.

Hard to make out what of those were Rouge's memories and what was just an attempt to get information out of here.

I did spot who likely was that one Eden guy with the wavy hair in her memories but only shown from the back. So he may have a connection to Rouge.

That animation with that gothic lolita jester girl was pretty nice the way she moved.

So we got to see Rouge's past through her dream. The black hair/black armor guy was in it too with a lady. Wonder who they really are. What did the troupe leader take from Rouge? Her human data? Anyway we now know Rouge's motive for killing the immortal nine. Though I do wonder how much truth is there in the events we saw.

Cyborgs Living in human society relying on a fluid called nectar to survive. Have to Obey the No harm Laws. The elites have an ability to transform from humanoid to more robotic larger forms which seems drastic and is off putting.

So much potential with the dream sequence thrown and it looks just like the normal episodes. Lot of information thrown to us in pieces but no point questioning about it now, with more than half the show remaining for the answers. Action was sleep inducing though.

I gotta be honest. This episode didn't feel like BONES regular non story nonsense. It felt like they are having production or story issues and the anime is suffering because of it. I wonder if somebody or bodies are intentionally trying to sabotage this show.

I have lowered expectations, but this is ridiculous. The bare minimum in BONES nonsense anime is having likeable characters. I don't even remember the girl with glasses name. But I can tell you she sucks at her job as a handler. Which was sorta ok before, but why even bother with a handler if their sole job is being saved? Even Huang from Darker Than Black did a better job as a handler than Megane is doing here.

Just last year we had G-Witch, a mecha show with a likeable enough cast of girl characters. The idea of an "agent" who is not actually an agent, whose single personality trait is eating chocolate the exact same way every time isn't cutting it. If Rouge is conflicted, then go that way. If she's gonna be a killer that goes a conscience, then do that instead. Rouge is seriously a lady version of Dragon Ball Super Goku which is a god awful idea.

Also, who does a sentai anime and skips the transformation sequences? One time is ok, but twice?

Fun little episode. Nice to watch. Kinda cool to get the whole artsy mind observation thing going. Not bad. Could have even gone further, but hey.

@MFDOOMED Yea This show has all the pieces but it can't seem to figure out what direction it wants to go. Its been jamming so many plotlines that dont seem to tie into each other anymore. With this many eps deep and not knowing at all where we are even going just takes away any chance to get invested into the anime because i dont even have enough proper information to care about the characters or situations that happen. Right now Just enjoying the world and some decent animation.

@ToMuchMayo To be fair, episode 6 is the best episode yet. I don't know if they can still stick the landing with this anime, but episode 6 is a fun time. They should have started the anime with that type of style. It made the characters more fun to watch.

Hate to say it but at this stage there is so much plot going on that it becomes so confusing I bet a bunch of people have dropped this. At this point I'm still waiting for the rest of the mystery to be revealed, like peeling the layers of an onion.

My favourite episode so far, and I am actually get a good idea on why they have kept things so vague so far.

We'll have to see how it goes, but this episode increased my hopes for this show by a lot

Thought the imouto looked like the girl from ME!ME!ME!.
While I would l like to be interested in a robotic MC more, Rouge just doesn't quite hit the same beats as say Makoto Kusanagi or Gesicht.

Okay this is getting ridiculous. It's almost like it's deliberately obtuse at this point.

By that Rouge sequential part of travelling among her own mind, i don't really get what's direction this lead on after all the time has been spent. Abstract to their best case, i guess...

Eden definitely one of the Immortal Nine, with the initial name, the Gladiator, but he decided to help them out of their ship. Sooner or later, Rouge might searched for him again tho.

Clown buncha revealed to be the Usurpers and manage to steal Rouge code Eve and replicate it into some unknown identical Nean? Immortal Nine or those Usurpers be the true enemy of Rouge? Become free, i guess. Rouge needs to choose her choice of life, and not be bounded by the order, even coming from her Nean 'brother'. Whatever

Well, idk if they manage to compact it all for the remaining episodes, but this is indeed an underwhelming attempt....

This is getting bad, that fragmented dream memories crap in the beginning does not help.

I think I'm at the point where the MCs are so bland and unlikable that I'm flipping to root for the antagonists, that sometimes happens when shows get so bad, and the MCs are so uninteresting. I actually found that goth clown woman fun and likeable in comparison to the two MC, too bad she's taking off supposedly. Way better than the annoying glasses woman, and vacant MC, both who I don't give a damn about at all.

I knew that this thief is the gladiator, it's no wonder he got on that ship. Rouge had an unforgettable trip.

Some flashbacks of Rouge's past, she wants to kill the nine inmortals to avenge her father, or something like that, is confusing and now even more with this guy from the circus talking about some kind of freedom for Rouge. I didn't understand very much as always but the battles were good. That guy who was with Naomi is also an enemy?. Now with the identity of the green ghost is time to kill her I guess, the duo is back together.
