Lol, the world' greatest store...I'm not sure how legit that is. I definitely find the weird manager Mr North guy to be a bit annoying at times though. And the episode actually took on a more serious route with that escape with the fire raining down on the department. Close call. I'm guessing the fire reminded Nene of her past..

Seeing as the building burned down on the first day i can't say that department store was safe.
Well Nene and Clarion saved the day but they didn't get any credit for it.
Nene is a good girl.

I am watching this anime primary because of yuri so I am not very satisfied with this episode. There was too few yuri ˇ^ˇ. Well, they made two Pandora Devices in one episode and the end was really cute. ^v^ But I was just dissapointed that Clarion didn't kiss Nene when she ran out of oxygen. ˇ^ˇ Still waiting for that kiss to come *^*

Holy shit that was actually kind of sweet. Particularly when Nene risked her life to save someone's child. That was admittedly pretty touching.

Probably the best episode this show had in quite a while.

Though I still don't know what this show is. Is it episodic? Is it like Kekkai Sensen where it builds up to a plot while still being episodic? Does it just have a straight storyline? I don't know.

I don't think the show really knows the answer either.

Our premium 7-D movie. Yeah right there ain't 7 dimensions have fun finding those.

I guess we got some backstory on Nene. Seems like her parents died in a fire, she may have been seriously injured hence the cyborg body and moving to live with her aunt. Pure speculation.

The reporter woman... She lit the place on fire... And got credit for saving someone... Wow... Just... What the hell.

I wanna know whats happening in that hole!! (That sounds really weird actually ;) )

I'm actually curious how the people on the island weren't angry about frequent network disturbance. It actually happen many times.

is there any government on that island?

Wasn't very clear she set the place on fire, the costume took fire on it own, maybe it was the villain.

It's extremely obvious that beur (can't remember if I spelt that right) "sneezed" which means he shot out one of his lasers which in turned burned the building down.

Hence they showed the hole going up into wall and why the costume just randomly started on fire

I feel like this anime is pure comedy and nothing else

It's moments like these in Koukaku no Pandora where I thank Masamune Shirow for using his creative talents for the better.

Overall, this episode was golden. One of the best episodes so far. Lets hope the remaining episodes this season are just as fantastic and avoid all that cringe worthy stuff.

I don't think the show/manga knows either. Koukaku no Pandora is really flawed in many areas, like the one you pointed out, yet somehow it seems able to be still completely enjoyable. It racks my brain at times debating whether I love or hate the series.

We already have so called 4D movies where they add some movement, maybe if they add odors, holograms and tactile illusion they will call it 7D.

Remember, just because the press says it, it does not mean it is true, that is the parable here.

People must be angry, but as with other inept governments, they will continue being inept and people well being be damned.

I think I looked away at that scene -_-

She still left it on fire though... she could have at least tried to put it out. It kinda still is her fault.

Dang, the pandora device activation in the elevator.

In reference to the little talk show they do during the ending song. I would love to see a Cla-ring with a beam rifle or beam saber, lool.

The first part with the chairman in the elevator was pretty funny XD Seriously though, being stuck somewhere when you REALLY need to go sucks ... D:
To be honest I'm getting a bit bored just watching Nene always use the Pandora Device to save people ... I mean how they did it this time was at least pretty interesting with the echolocation stuff and driving the cart, but then the part at the end where they had to save that boy Billy ... *sigh* Can we get something new? I mean like at least we're getting hints of the BUER stuff is probably causing the network outages ...

The way things are going, I can not complain, the road has been traced immediately and the anime series is traveling without denying what was decided at the beginning. I just wish that the drawings were even more beautiful, I await the BD to be disproved, good soundtrack. Funny different ending, fun end-card.

When they first entered the store, they showed paper goods immediately adjacent fuel. No wonder the building went up so quickly.

There is also the question why Clarion also needed an oxygen cylinder if she is truly an android. Perhaps her power source is fuel cell or some type of metal-air battery that requires oxygen to operate. (Note the scene where she not only had a cylinder when they were first acquired, but also used it). The problem there is the problem with fires isn't typically due to lack of oxygen, but the presence of dangerous gases and smoke. The former should have had little or no effect on such a power system, while the latter would depend more on the filtration system.

Nene's backstory was so sad. Her parents died in a fire. Poor girl.

She was the hero of the day by saving that boy's life, although Vlind took the credit for it, lol.

What a heartwarming moment. <3
