----------------------------------------
I was surprised when Key's hair and eyes changed to more vibrant, human colors. Her facial expressions, too, became more real when she watched Miho. Is her contruction designed to alter appearance based on her AI's complexity?

It turns out that Miho is a doll controlled by a sickly girl. I wonder what kind of dynamic she'll have with an idol Key. For her managers, it would be logical to replace human-controlled puppets with self-sufficient puppets as long as the quality remains the same.

Great cliffhanger ending! Didn't expect that that idol would also be a robot controlled of some kind! Pretty interesting, I'm really starting to like this series!

The first several(7) minutes are REALLY boring. Dean steals and mysteriously takes over a truck which I'm assuming is the idol Miho. I don't know anything yet, so it's hard to care for the scene though I'm sure its build up to something. Discussion on the malfunction on the PPOR(maybe the robot who killed two guys). Did Mima do it or did Dean? Which isn't much of a question since Dean from our perspective clearly didn't and blaming Key(Mima) seems like the only logical explanation based on what we know. A plan to place his "sons" all over town(obvious build up is obvious), a quick clip revealing that the villain killed grandfather, and "robots are my slaves". In other words exposition time with two bland characters being your guide(yay).

I guess the Prez is into some fifty shaders of robot stuff. I think that the pacing is kinda slow. The reveal of the idol being controlled by a sickly girl is dope. Where Key goes death follows. This show reveals things expositions which sucks.

Sergei seems to crave killing, I don't think it's entirely due to the PPOR, even tho there seem to be side effects as we have seen on Miho. Poor minion, I have a feeling that Key is going to save the shady "talent scout".

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Did anyone see Yusuke in the background when Miho "dies"?

Good episode, bit boring at the start but the second half picked up, can't wait to see Key becoming a (Metal) Idol
