| I'm confused >,< who monitor Acca and Ura-Acca? I don't understand this episode :( everything is great until this episode. Acca & Ura-Acca backstory makes everything confusing! I rather didn't know this -_- |

| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| Personally, I am hoping that it will end on a cliffhanger and a season s2 announcement. |
| The tongue pop reminded me of something similar in the american horror movie Hereditary. |
 |
| "Being uncontrollable is the essence of femininity". No phrase suits this episode better than said. We often hide our responsibilities in the face of our arrogance. That's what Acca and Ura-Acca did with creating Frill just as some stress pass time. Thinking they had her in complete control. Only if they had acted in time to notice those changes in Frill, they wouldn't have had to go through all this. A female no matter who enters in their beloved life only to steal their place will try everything to eliminate them. As they say a woman's jealousy knows no bounds. With everything that occurred, what terrified me the most was how Himari tried to fill in her mother's role for Ura-Acca as a partner. What sort of actions led to that conclusion? And how did she die? Does Frill take on the female desires to tempt them with death? Also Ura-Acca burned frill to a crisp in fit of rage. Thus wisdom befell in the depths of madness. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Yeah I'm really not liking it. Quite disappointed with the show right now but like, at least they tried to do something different? Now that I've come this far I'll still watch the last episode, but with extremely low expectations. |
| I'm actually scared on how this series will end. (Unless it got a season 2 but i doubted that) |
| I actually really loved this episode, it was really interesting and intense. I have no idea how they're going to manage to finish everything in one (or two?) episodes though. I still don't understand how Neiru's business is connected to everything, I don't understand what's going on with the teacher and Ai, and so much more. Maybe if there were like 16 episodes in total that would give enough time to explain the everything. And if they're choosing to make the final episode on the Blu-ray version, that just doesn't make sense to me. Not everyone is going to buy it, so if that is the case the majority of the fans are going to be left unsatisfied with the next episode imo. |
| I have a lot of questions but first I’ll ask; Frill called the two men “husbands” & asked if one was jealous that their husband married the woman. Were they married? Was their AI program an attempt at having a daughter between them, or for their company’s research? Why are the two guys sewn-head-flashy-mouths instead of human? |
| An ... illuminating and quite disturbing episode, with a ton of backstory information. So Acca and Ura-Acca created a Frankenstein-ish monster that predictably got out of control. It didn't look like a monster at all, which made it even more dangerous due to its deceptive looks. A monster with a cute moe appearance is creepy af, and quite frankly far more scary than a monster that looks the part. Acca should have dismantled her to parts instead of stashing her away with all these computers. It appears that somehow Frill managed to find a way during all those years to enter the dreams of girls (either herself or using Dot and Hyphen) and push them toward committing suicide. What was not shown is what on Earth Ura-Acca did with Frill. Did he burn her (a vague burning shot was shown) or did he destroy her and bury her (his trousers were muddy afterwards)? Whatever he did Frill is still alive and kicking -perhaps only in the dreamworld?- and sends the monsters she herself created (another criminally stupid thing the Accas did... - who lets their own creation to create its own monsters?) to bully the girls who complete their missions (but strangely not before) in their sleep. A big red flag that Frill was "mentally" disturbed was when she created girls with monster heads to make sure it was crystal clear she was much prettier than them, as she also said to Ura-Acca. Still, the Accas did not take note at all.. And so they paid for it.. |

| damn. whatever i was expecting, it wasn't this. |
| w0w! this episode is simple exemplar! and DARK! 5/5 |

rilakema said: Okay, friend whose account was created today just to post this. The gaze and the text weren't sexualizing Frill in the slightest. I have absolutely no grounds to base my sarcasm towards Future Gadget Lain on. I apologize for being literate. Kosmonaut said: You're incredibly weird by making it sexual it was clear frill was made to be their "daughter".. calling her a nymphet?? a sex doll ????? SHES 14??? i can smell u through my screen fatass weirdoEven if there are still two episodes left, which I'm going to assume there aren't, isn't it a bit too late to go full 'it was the evil jealous AI Frill whose namedrop only happened last episode all along?' Shove in a signature move of the 'dangerous nymphet' now too, why not? How else will the audience know that Ura-Acca can tell Frill is behind it? Even if not too late for some, isn't it too cheap? Even if not too cheap for others, doesn't it conflict with what the show had established so far? Bored adult men create gelbanana teenager girl to fend off stress. Gelbanana girl is a little naughty nymph that gets jealous at one of the adult man's wife and unborn daughter. Gelbanana girl does the bad things and gets locked in the basement. Gelbanana girl wants to get attention and becomes Lain, influencing the outside world through the b i g i n t e r n e t p l a c e to make teenager girls act super sexual do her knock-off Lolita lip pop and kill themselves. I wonder if Ura-Acca checked for a synth component when he took her for a walk in the park. Todd Howard must be behind this bug. Gelbanana girl was the villain all along... allegedly, so I guess the logical conclusion is that AI's go wild when made to resemble teenager girls, those pesky creatures. Bottom line: don't give your sex dolls emotions and stuff. Edit: I acknowledge that 1) the Accas could be lying; 2) we don't know Frill's full motivation/means of operation yet; 3) maybe Frill isn't even the culprit; 4) the show wants to touch very lightly and then mess up what means to be a human, like they did with every other theme so far; 5) maybe they're going for a jebait to say the Accas should also try to accept their losses as well, instead of blaming others and going on insane crusades to correct perceived 'mistakes', when maybe Frill isn't even behind the 'allure of death' at all, but they can't accept sometimes people commit suicide; and 6) this post was over the top, but the sentiment is still the same. The jealous AI/artificial human culprit... biggest of oofs. |

| I get DokiDokiLC anxiety levels watching this |
 |
| Magnificent episode! I love how it didn't hold back with the messed up and traumatising stuff. Acca and Ura Acca's backstory was so sad. I hope episode 12 will wrap up with a good amount of questions answered but in the style of the anime, i wont be surprised if it wont. |
| What a reveal! This unexpected backstory is so dark and heavy but at the same time, has this excellent quality on how it portrays the story and the new character/s even in a short span of time. So Frill is the villain, huh. Such a beautiful and innocent looking girl but tainted in the inside. I paused the video when I saw her with the hair dryer in the bathroom! It's disturbing! Anyway, everything in this series is very disturbing yet still manages to capture us with its unique approach. I wonder how they will conclude everything next week.... |
| WTF?! Previously was Momoe and now it's Rika who's "child" was killed and fed to her! I guess that's the exchange for the life of the people they've been trying to save since the beginning, life for a life. Plus Acca and Ura-Acca backstory! They basically created their biggest mistake, Frill the AI Monster. What Frill did and is doing is totally wrong. They should totally shut her down, after all she's not a human being. What she did is unforgivable. This gets darker and darker and more fascinating! Excited for the ending!  |
| This episode was interesting I guess... "Being uncontrollable is the essence of femininity" >creates AI based on this perception >AI become bad and "jealous" of other women (of cOuRse) >AI kills women >feminity is the root of all EVIL (cringe) I think the show could be giving commentary about internalised misogyny among women (courtesy patriarchy) OR it could just be a show which unironically believes in such a regressive thought, that the "nature" of a woman is the reason for the evil in the WEP world. Considering how the previous episodes conveyed progressive ideas, that hopefully isn't the case. Can't wait for the end!! I'm excited and also scared |

| Man, what an episode! |
#FreePalestine 🇵🇸 |
| I enjoyed this episode. My only concern is how the fuck they're going to wrap this season up with just one episode remaining. |
 |
| I got spoiled that there would be an AI girl.... but I was not ready for THAT. My reaction for this episode was basically: - aww, how cute. - this can't end well. - oh, shit - oh, SHIT - OH, SHIT!!!!! Maybe destroy the yandere AI girl after her FIRST kill, geniuses? As for the suicides, I don't think Frill was simply brainwashing the girls. She as just giving the last push to girl who were already thinking about it. Many people contemplate suicide at once point, but the self preservation part of the brain simply blocks it out for the vast majority. I think the French call it "the call of the void". Have you ever looked into a deep trench and thought "What if I just jumped in?". When you do that the brain basically makes you think "Hell no!". I think Frill is simply blocking that part. |

| While we don't yet know what ACCA and Ura-ACCA have planned to fight Frill, I think their intent is to figure out how the death temptation works first. My guess is that they wanted to monitor the experiences of girls who have killed themselves and find out what could have been done to prevent it. |
|
| I don't know how they will conclude this show with some new dark shit... I thought it will be a story about pedophiles (if you noticed some of the girls committed suicide cause of rape and some committed just because of shitty life). But damn, I didn't expect some Artificial Intelligence Girl just shitting around with brainwashing because of some simple jealousy toward the love relationship of her creators. |
SLSaturn said: Ok, so let me see if got this straight: a girl influences others to off themselves and in order to stop that, they create the wonder egg? How would the wonder egg prevent Frill from having influence over the girls? The only guess I can make is that they're so frightening of death they can't be tempted anymore? Can someone help me? I think wonder egg are training devices to fight Frill , the final boss herself |

| Not understanding Neiru's little sister's relation to the story?? How are we going to discuss that plot line when they chose to explore Neiru's albino friend instead?? On second thought, that girl, Kotobuki, would also be Neiru's sister since they were created and raised by the same facility... but what is that company researching anyway?? And Kotobuki was older, so she wouldn't be referred to as Neiru's "imouto", so that's pretty confusing.. All of the new characters introduced are older than Neiru too.. even a backslash could have solved this dilemma. Really hoping that it's wrapped up, or else the show will look pretty bad lol I've loved it so far, but again, the story was too vast for only 12 eps. |
