So she definitely was a Replicant after all, in fact just like the others she couldn't originally fight back, but powered through after something weird happened in her eyes...

And it looks like there's a ring of corrupt government officials that just like hunting replicants for sport while spouting for their rights on the surface. Typical. Police Chief might be next on her list.

I know I should be horrified by the Replicant hunt, but the part that got me in distress was Elle trying to break Joseph PC gamer. Which hopefully she didn't ended really breaking.

Damn, wonder why she broke free. Intense urge to fight back? or something/someone altered her restraints?

Haha, I feel that right there.

So the police chief is trying to sweep Davis' solid evidence under the rug because he was involved in the Doll Hunt!

Ngl I think the soundtrack alone is what is single-handedly keeping me watching this.

Some shots of the city at night look like a next-gen game cutscene with rtx on. Then the humans look like ps2 graphics

But DANG the SOUNDTRACK.. MMMM ugh oh daddy baby it's so good

Man... that was a dark episode. Poor Elle had to go through that trauma once again. All of those replicants and poor Miu died for no reason. No wonder Elle is engulfed in anger and wants to have her revenge on all of them.

Looks like she's getting closer to the people who did that to her and all of the others.

Seems like my assumptions were true. We know that Wallace is trying to find a way to lift the ban on replicant production (not gonna happen until 2036). Hunted replicants were new/modified Nexus prototypes. Memory implemented and supposed to be submissive. Maybe They were planning to convince lawmakers with the hunt footage? The only mystery is who interfered and what is black lotus.
Police Chief now wants to cover this whole thing that he also involved in and probably gonna assign a Blade Runner to hunt down Elle.

A flashback episode in which Elle recalls her memory of being hunted down as a repiclant for sport and now she wants revenge. However, finding these people is going to be impossible for her since she is still a wanted criminal. Meanwhile Davis has connected the dots regarding Black Lotus and knows that the suspect is a replicant, but the police chief told her to drop the case and is going to use her evidence to track Elle down. I wonder why Davis left the Blade Runner program? The plot thickens.

My biggest questions here ::
How the heck she changed her clothes she was wearing a bikini, and while she was in the truck how did she wear the boots she was barefoot????
They must answer these questions and then this anime will be complete gold 👌

The biggest issue is that they marketed this as anime and of course that brought the massive wave of childish anime fans who love to get everything spoonfed and complain about looks. You never saw this silly CGI debate in the original Clone Wars, because they just marketed it as a Star Wars cartoon series to expand on the universe. Blade Runner should've done the same, partnering with Crunchyroll was a bad move.

No, it‘s because the characters look like from cutscenes on PS2/Xbox/GC/Wil or early PS3/360. This series isn‘t over 10 years old. It‘s from the year 2021…

So, just because a series is from 2021 they need to stick to a certain animation standard? I still don't see what's the big issue. It's the equivalent of giving a videogame a low rating because of the graphics instead of the actual gameplay/story.

There is a big difference between gameplay and story. Please don‘t write them just as one thing of game.

By the way: In your message before this you‘ve just mentioned the looks and not the other possible problems of this series.

She just took the clothes of the dead people around her, certainly?

The main issue for me, was the fact that they have cinematographic video footage of Elle fighting a hunter lol. And why does the dude hosting Elle has this footage. Seems pretty random and convenient for me

how many times do we have to watch this hunting scene?

the whole premise that they don't want to shoot them from a distance because it's no fun is completely ruined by the fact that shooting them from any distance when they literally cannot attack you or defend themselves should also be not "fun"

then she decides to go on a rampage in this dude's apartment because...idk, the director thought it was be cool?

idk. i just don't have patience for this right now.

AHA I instantly could tell the police chef is one of the hunters at the first words he said, this voice is so unique. Isn't that Ootsuka Houchuu ? or is it someone who sound like him ?

This anime isn't on his record but it does sound like him.

Interesting flashback.
Is she really human? If she's a replicant, which Nexus is she? How come her eyes turn like that, and she can bypass a replicant's inability to harm humans?
Franky is such an asshole for hurting and killing those pretty girls!

Wouldn't it be smarter to take the other car key and keep it instead of throwing it away? (⁠٥⁠↼⁠_⁠↼⁠)
