adolf hitler and anti robot bruhhhh. i bet adolf will end up saving the inspector

new characters are introduced. i 100% suspect abdullah is a culprit because the killer leaves no traces of human residue behind, but the victims also had tea and ate with him, suggesting 2 people

also atom's hair looks a little bit like horns. and the sisters ponytails look like horns as well

Several sort of subplots this episode with the painter robot was really being control remotely and was definitely connected to Pluto. Perhaps it was actually Pluto's mind being transferred into the robot as he was recovering from his fight with Brando. It seems like Brando wasn't just talking shit and actually did some real damage. But Pluto is back to normal now. Anyway beside that with have racist Adolf and his racist cult in robes lmao. A little on the nose but I'm curious where this will go. Obviously it's connected to Gesicht with them trying to kill him. There is also significant evidence that Gesicht and his wife's memories had been replaced from a few years ago. He confirmed his memory of meeting that random detective were real, so it seems he's going to narrow in on exactly what/when memories had been replaced.

Pretty good episode but I feel like it’s too fragmented - there are several sub plots that leave you feeling disoriented and after three hours the tone / atmosphere is still all over the place. Interesting concept for an anime but the execution is a little off it feels rushed
@sleekproject this is basically my thoughts so far. Seems to be going so hard on concept and pushing so many at the same time that it forgets that a good concept also needs to be executed for it to come into fruition. but maybe it gets better later on i don't know.

Gesicht's war flashback hit hard since I couldn't help but think about the awful things going on in Gaza at the moment. Free Palestine.

Anyway, this is fantastic stuff. The social commentary's heavy handed and extremely on-the-nose (they named a guy in a violent separatist movement Adolf) but it's nevertheless impactful and thought provoking. It's also probably the best a Netflix original anime has ever looked, and that's a very high bar since they also have Devilman Crybaby and Cyberpunk Edgerunners.
Take care of yourself

I don't know if anyone noticed it, but when Gesicht is viewing photos from his trip to Spain, there is one of the Sagrada Familia, and even though it's decades in the future, it's still under construction!

In case you're unaware, it's a bit of a meme that the construction of the Sagrada Familia will never finish.

I swear Urusawa is obsessed with orphans and orphanages. At first i thought it was just a Monster thing but we already have 2 more examples in just 3 episodes of this show.
