Purin continues to be competent, she's a bit annoying but I like her tbh. Also this case was pretty interesting.

I'd say this is Kuvshinov's short coming, he only have one type of attractive young female. Even the prime minister's wife looks like the Major in disguise.

What the heck was that? Just when the series was getting interesting it came back to being extremely goofy.

This looks more like a Psycho-Pass episode than a GitS one. And I hate Purin's personality. I miss the old GitS.

What the fuck was that? I was expecting a little bit of forced humor here and there after experiencing Standard, but this was so over the top cheesy.

That was really bad... Virtual fish avatar in a giant robe and crown scene aside, what was up with that battle to protect the PM? Motoko tossing down force fields? Togusa performing Kung-Fu and acting like Bruce Lee? Cringe. Also, what's with the nudity in this show? The first post-human battle was somewhat ruined because of the absurdity of seeing that awkward looking cartoony CG character doing acrobatics naked. Then they follow that up with Purin undressing the fat guy and we have to watch her interrogate him while he's in his underwear looking pathetic. I don't get it. Hey, we're going to follow up a scene where someone was lynched by a faceless mob with a scene of some fat guy in his underwear cowering in front of tiny girl with pink hair.

That fish avatar reminds of that frog character from Flushed Away.

Is this meant to be a analogue for 4chan? I mean it's called Think Pol (as in /pol/) and that guy is a fish frog thing like Pepe. It's like the Shia Labeouf thing except more sinister.

I just realized Purin looked like Logiko from a Ghost in the Shell Arise special, who seems to be a Logicoma anthropomorphization. I wonder if it's intentional or not, given that she likes Batou and talks in a childish way like a Tachikoma.

Not really enjoying pudding in the shell to be honest, hopefully this leads somewhere (unlike Omoshiro).

Togusa performing dem kung fu moves there. No questions asked. This is more of a shitpost than pop team epic

HUZZAH! A MAN OF QUALITY!

I really enjoyed a light-hearted episode, like this. Purin is a great stand-in for when the Tachikoma aren't around. People are giving this series a lot of crap because "it's Netflix" and CG, but I'm really enjoying the show. I'm glad we're getting another 12 episodes.

Purin in this ep drives me insane. I hate that she's just able to get away with doing this shit as if she's part of Kusanagi's team and from this point on she's just treated as though she is. I hate that she flails around like a child and doesn't fit the tone of the show at all. She's a goddamn techie, not a field agent. I have the same issue with Ishikawa in this series, he's all part of the main field squad like??? You're the computer guy, what are you doing?

They must have been enjoying themselves watching Purin doing her interrogation in the back alley.

So it's not post-human involvement this time? Maybe we'll get the lucky on the other two next time.

I'm fine with the Purin character, she's like a Tachikoma in human form and it's about time someone spotted how awesome Batou is. But the weird battle scene at the end was pretty poor and I cringed hard when Togusa did his little kung fu impression. Completely random and unnecessary.

Purin is fine, but I thought Tachikoma were enough for moe factor, lol.

Both of Major’s entrances were badass. I really think they did a tremendous job with the CGI. Stopping myself from bingeing it.

The concept of getting your cyberbrain fried is just insane. Been playing Cyberpunk 2077 and vibes are so similar.
