----------------------------------------
Whoa, the first half of this episode was weird. It seems Faceless' own consciousness is having a sort of problem after the download. Still, I have to give some credit to the creativity of that mental struggle.

Columbine's fight is strange too mostly because of her personality. I wasn't sure to root for her or not lol. Oh and that rocket scene was epic imo. Also, this was actually a more emotional episode than I was anticipating.

This is a real quirky, surprisingly enjoyable show and not as straight-forward as you would expect. Shame the animation production is not always the best, but still good overall. The sheer volume of puppets and their designs is really great too - very imaginative
Can I offer you an egg is this trying time?

This was quite enjoyable. Now with 8 episodes left and Faceless gone, i wonder what they're gonna create to fill the anime with curing Zonapha and i guess Narumi getting his memory back.

Still concerned how's so different in the manga tho.

Masaru dislocating Shirogane's joints must really hurt her.

Overall, a good episode.

First few minutes in Masaru's brain felt like something out of Soul Eater.
I wonder where it will go from here (every story seems like the last one and keeps me wondering what will happen next)

for all the moments like this episode I wish they had gone with 100+ episodes rather then 36 and skip so much stuff and jump around, the individual arcs are nice, but your left the first 1-2 episodes of each arc trying to piece together whats happened.

Welp that's it for Columbine, so was that the last of Faceless or will he comeback, cu'z I don't think that being stuck in that rocket that flew into outer space would stop him.

Wow, dismantling Francine is something not even Faceless could even think off. In your face faceless (lol)

And welp, RIP Colombine, I would have wished Masaru had a repair ability alongside his dismantling one in order to repair Colombine, but guess it wasn't that great...

Finally, Narumi and Eleonore made a reunion after Narumi almost killed her a long while ago, but... what about Masaru?

That was the first good episode in a while.
The blonde puppet's arc was surprisingly emotional.

Columbine's death here was the first development that made me feel something watching this one in a long time. I'm really glad Masaru was there for her in the end. Here's hoping she will come back since it wouldn't be the first time.

Hope Faceless will enjoy his honeymoon.

Although I didn't appreciate Colombine throughout the whole situation, I did feel a tiny tiny bit when she died. Wonder if automata go to heaven?

Columbine was the MVP this episode. She finally felt human at the end.

Elenore was better with Faceless tbh.

Also columbine not showing any desire to live whatsoever made it difficult for me to feel bad for her.

Colombine the MVP - Rest in Peace.
She finally became more humane after her reintroduction, along with the other two too, and it was just amazing! I was totally shipping her with Masaru but poor Colombine, she died under the impression that Masaru’s true love was meant for Eleonore. Some depressing display of her final moments too, yikes didn’t think I’d feel so empty after watching an automaton pass away. Seeing her in the Op will definitely pull a heartstring from now on.

Meanwhile, it seems as though Lord Faceless is out of the planet quite literally and Narumi/Eleonore meet again! Got to say though, that dislocation from Masaru’s got to bloody hurt! And how was he so sure it’d be the ‘good’ guys down there and throwing off Eleonore like that, damn.

Can’t wait to see what next episode has in store for us nevertheless! I feel like Arlequino will meet his end too and that Faceless will return somehow so here’s to hoping the final 8 episodes can manage to end off on a high!

For me, it seriously gave off Neon Genesis Evangelion vibes. Faceless’s head splattering on the wall and the (blue) blood oozing out coupled with the numerous mini-heads and just the fact that it’s all in the head just screamed out NGE to me.

Am I the only one thinking that Masaru might be able to put Colombine back together, using her creator (faceless) memories and skills

NOOOO ... COLOMBINE! Without a doubt, in a few episodes, she became one of my favorite characters in this anime 😢. It was a sad ending, but she died like a heroine. Seeing Masaru hugging what was left of her caused me great sadness.
180 years have passed since the first automaton appeared on earth.

Other highlights:
1. "Super-powerful homeostatic function", I was surprised to hear immortality from a scientific point of view.
2. Masaru is a genius. He let Faceless unload his conscience on him to have the opportunity to eliminate him, I was more than shocked when he mentioned the blood of Shirogane and explained the reason why his body was not invaded. I found meaning in his words. And then dismantled Shirogane to free her from the chains, Brutal! You have my respects Masaru xD.
3. At 17:00 minutes, what if there was no one to catch Shirogane? Do not leave me with a "leap of faith". LOL.
Ahhhh! Shirogane and Narumi met again. I'm kind of excited for the next episode.

Columbine's death had some HxH-level feels for a (former) villain. Happy Faceless is gone (well is he really?). Now to rid the world of Zonopha. Curious what the next big obstacle will be. Surely, a twist is on the horizon.

Eleonore is saved, but Columbine sacrificed herself to save her and Masaru.

Masaru made Columbine happy and wanted, and I actually cried when she died.

The scene with Masaru revealing the reason why the download didn't work gave me goosebumps.

Felt really satisfying to see Faceless having despair portrayed on his face while being launched of to space

Wow this episode was perfect.
First part was crazy with Faceless' heads everywhere, and the second part gosh, I love Colombine since she first appeared and now this ending, she didn't deserve to die 😭😭😭. Masaru is such a sweetheart hugging her and crying for her. And her song in the last minutes broke my heart 😭😭
