| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Batou is going to save Major, hopefully and I wonder if Tachicoma has successfully hacked into one of the personnel in the submarine. |
 |
| Batou is of course going to save Major. Need to watch the last episode now. |
| This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen... |
| Go go Batou! Although surprised the Major hasn't brought up anything personal yet. |
| Don't know if I can wait for Adult Swim to show the dubbed final episode. May have to watch the subs to find out what happens. This was really a great episode!! |
 |
| I ship Major x Kuze... |

| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| I wonder if the Major will mention something personal. Good episode! |
| The first minutes of this episode were simply breath-taking... The plan kuze is trying to achieve is basically sending everyone's spirits/ghosts into the net turning them into bodyless entities to form this spiritual network structure, what will most likely make them lose their individuality. It all sounds very pretty in theory, but that would be such a sad existence, it's depressing... and this is all going in a way very similar to the original GitS movie as far as Motoko is concerned, she is going "there" as well, leaving Batou with her memories. I wouldn't be surprised if Motoko and Kuze end up as God-like entities in the network, working as guiders for the other folk. It's like turning a theoretically impossible religion into reality thanks to the advancement of technology. This is all very reminiscent of what happened with the main character in Serial Experimental Lain. Man this series has concepts that are not very easy to grasp at first without some thinking, especially if you didn't have total and 100% attention and focus during its episodes, and I admit I got lost in a few. Let's go to the last one. |

Let's go to the last one. freaking amazing and thanks for the clear explanation :) definitely an amazing episode, we get to know what Kuze inteds to do with his "Revolution" plus the part where both Kuze and Motoko discussing and talking each other is heart warming :) plus his ideals and the ideals of the Individual Eleven. he was able to break free of the virus and remain unaffected of it's influence. why can't Motoko just flat out tell her that she is the girl who was supposedly died and had a full prosthetic body!!!!!!! and yeah Batou gonna save Motoko will be amazing for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hopefully the tachikoma's were able to somehow hack the submarines!!!!!!!! and come on Prime Minister, use your authority in full force and get rid of that asshole chief cabinet. last episode, fucking love the series and i hope the ending will be awesome!!!!!! go go Batou, Motoko, Kuze and Section 9!!!!!!!! |

| That was a pretty awesome episode! Kuze and Matoko working together! |

| I was waiting for Kuze to remember Major.. But damn... anyway, off to the last episode! |
| Great episode again. It is interesting to see Kuze and Matoko working together. Looking forward to last episode. |
 |
| Oh shit, Batou better save her! Pretty exciting episode and let's see how this sequel concludes in the finale. |
 |
| Decent episode, the buildup is there so lets see what the last episode has to offer! |
 |
| Shweeeet. Go Batou go! As Veethorn said, this is a similar situation to the original GitS movie where they will become a network structure with their ghosts. Glad S4 and S9 are now working together. I also hope that the Major and Kuze have some sort of nostalgic talk. Well, onto the last one. |

| A WOW episode indeed. Batou's brotherhood S4 unit. I'm too damn exited. Cant write anything more. Going to the finale episode. |
 |
| Ahhh, always love Batou determination. ''Idiot, you thought I would let you die alone?''. I didn't thought the eye was a symbol for Ranger. Kuze idea was clever to save the people from the nuclear bomb. He doesn't remember our Major... I really wonder what's in that Goda letter... |

| 5/5 Episode interesting story that raises many questions, some being resolved, others still to be deciphered, it leaves you in suspense until the end, Great! The feeling of belonging, always makes inroads into the hearts. The finish does not seem to bode well. The plot will give the maximum with the last episode? It would be the apotheosis. Narration increasingly tight, my heart is going to very much! |
 |
| LOL, idk but Batou's jogging at the end felt inspiring. Great episode, can't wait to see how this concludes. I hope Batou reaches Motoko in time, and I hope Kuze remembers her ;< |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| So Kuze's trying to go for some internet instrumentality of sorts huh? Once again it seems like this series will end with Motoko allying with a once perceived foe to hopefully expose a third party. At least all sides on Dejima are on the same page now. Goddamn it I don't want to see this end. 3rd Gig where? |
 |
| Oh!, they finally meet, I hope things will be well. Great Episode. |
| So only one episode left, I'm not as pumped for it as much as a lot of other people I guess. |
| Damn it only one episode left, this was one of the most greatest episodes I have ever watched. I always wondered why Batou's eyes were like that so he was a fromer Ranger really nice. And I'm shipping Kuze x Major well knownjng that won't ever happen it's really painful. |
| Jesus, I'm stressing out. |
 |
| Kuze's plan is insane, might as well kill them all. At least I would rather die than getting digitized. And (friendzoned xD) Batou to the rescue. So hyped for the finale. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Why is this so good? All the guys making those hype shows that are so big nowadays should sit down and watch these last episodes of 2nd Gig, This is how you do high stakes, end of the world action that feels raw and authentic. |

| Major..... Don't do that.. It's the second to last episode and Kuze still doesn't remember Major. And Major didn't mention anything personal :( |
