| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So Shin actually fixed Ryoko! Well, fixed in the sense that Ryoko seems to be able to move around in Maihama now. But all is not well still. You can see Ryoko looking rather distant in the last shot of the episode, and then the preview says that her feelings have been left behind in the Altair. That makes it sound like Ryoko will be an emotionless robot in the server world, giving Kyo something new to have to cope with next week. I can’t help but wonder where they’re going with this story in the grand scheme of things. And as usual, this episode asks more questions than it answers. We learn that the Gards-orm see themselves as having achieved the light, though they don’t really explain what the light is. It seems to be implied that the Gards-orm are actually mankind’s next step in evolution, a process which Naaga must have hastened. The concept of being restored or resurrected still isn’t that clear though. There’s also the question of why Shin (and presumably Abyss) know Shizuno by the same Ieru name that Shima uses. And on that subject, where exactly were Shizuno and Shima going? There’s plenty we don’t know about those two. |

| If you skipped the opening, go back and watch ALL of it. My (brief) thoughts of it are below: |
| Wow that was the best episode so far imo, really like these villains as it seems there could be more meaning to their existence. |
| For Gards-orm death is nothing but for humans it's the end. Ryoko is fixed ^_^ |
 |
| This episode was absolutely insane! This Anime keeps impressing me more and more with how well scripted it is. |
