| Man, it's hard to trust anyone in this series, especially from Rogue's perspective. The upper head department and leaders are last people they should put faith into. The Puppeteer is an engima in this anime...and I wonder what this show's true intentions for him will be. Rogue should trust in herself the most in such an unpredictable world. |
 |
| It appear that The Immortal Nine is not a untied entity, some just want live a normal life. All the main factions starts making their moves, things gonna get messy.  |
| Oh wow, artificial black holes. This must be suuuper far in the future. At this point we can assume that any introduced character that is remotely important is a member of the Immortal Nine lol Eyyy, Jaron is alive, nice I think this would flow much better if binged, rather than watched weekly. |
 |
| Seems no-one can be trusted at all and with all the main players introduced now things will just escalate from now on. |
| It was a great episode, Rouge doesn’t think by herself 😅😅😅 |

| Ok now we know who all the Immortal Nine are! |
 |
| Did they explain why exactly Rouge got arrested last episode? |
 |
| We are learning more and more about the Immortal 9 and Rouge’s reasons for going after them. After watching this episode, I have come to the opinion that this show wasn’t meant to be watched weekly. Everything at the beginning is so vague and confusing because it is a reflection of Rouge’s mental state. If you binge it all at once, you would definitely get a more clear picture than slowing gaining small tidbits of information that will probably be forgotten about when the next week comes. (7.5/10) |
| Rouge really has it rough right now. It seems that everyone she knows can't really be trusted. Jaron being alive isn't a surprise; I honestly expected him to be alive, and we also meet a new guy named Grauphon. They know each other, so I'm interested to see what happens with them. |
 |
| I've lost count of how many of the Immortal 9 have appeared so far. And I started to worry about Naomi becomes the main antagonist of the show (I hope not, i really like her) |
| So future Elon musk wants to terraform Venus and make it habitable.. but why? Maybe a new home for the Neans? I feel like Naomi is gonna end up being the big antagonist here. We’re clearly setting up for a Nean vs Human civil war. Silvia honestly raises a good point. Why should they obey humans and be treated like slaves when they’re stronger? I don’t think humans should be exterminated or anything, but the Neans are very valid for fighting for equal rights and to remove the Asimov code. Things are starting to come together and Rogue is beginning to realise that good/bad are subjective and depend what side you’re on. The immortal 9 have been painted as evil, but they’re not one unified group. Many just wanna survive and live freely. I think things were unclear and kinda choppy at the beginning because we were getting the story from Rogue’s perspective. As she pieces things together so do we Never a doubt that Galion survived.. wonder what he and the other dude are gonna get up to next |

| So at this point I'm not sure if Naomi is friend or foe towards Rouge but it seems like it's leaning towards the latter but maybe she'll revert to being a friend again. Also, I was surprised that Aes & Alice are the same person AND an Immortal 9 member. Rouge sure is in a bind here and I'm curious to see what she decides to do. |
| Another really good episode. I really love the worldbuilding and complexity of this series, you really have to pay attention and think about what's happening and why. I also enjoy the themes of free will and what defines a person. It reminds me a lot of Blade Runner, in that way. I still don't fully understand why Naomi turned on Rouge all of the sudden, but maybe that will be explained further in future episodes. |
 |
| The last episode was definitely better with the comedy aspect it had regarding the shapeshifting nean. This episode, while not nearly as engaging, did have some great action sakuga and some fun banter involving Aes and Alice. Overall, not a terrible time, but it seems the show is back to having difficulties finding its narrative cohesiveness. Regardless, I enjoyed my time with the episode this week overall. |
| I'm the sonny boy (￣y▽,￣)╭ |
| So everyone is just a liar and Rouge has no mind of her own. |
 |
| Jill is also one of the Immortal Nine!! Who to trust? Are we the good guy or the bad guy? I'm actually don't know if i could trust Naomi or not. I really thought Aes and Alice are twins, turns out it just a different personality. Omg that asshole Giallon still alive? |

| Ok so slightly less confusing but still semi confusing. The Neans treated like slaves used for terraforming, governed by Asimov's 3 laws of robotics. Are they really robots or alien-robot hybrids? What exactly are they? That is where Eve? the bit that does what comes in? What is Eve? Still so confused. Right now I don't even know of Naomi is a good guy or bad guy working for some rich corporation, those are always the bad guy. |
 |
| Rouge remains a brainless idiot, watching her pisses me off. I thought getting betrayed will make her grow up a bit but nah. She's still Naomi, Naomi, like grow a brain girl. Naomi probably has some bigger motive and likely isn't Rouge's enemy but who knows. I've found the immortal nine characters more interesting than these two. Jill and Alice/Aes both are great, would be a shame if she dies. Also idk how people are confused with the Nean plot. |
 |
| The setting is wonderful, the animation is great, but the potential was destroyed by the boring story. It's a shame, I think a lot could have been done better. |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| And once again we return to the super serious approach as if the goofiness from last episode never happened. |
| The story seems to be all over the place, but at least the fight scenes still hold up pretty well. The idea behind it is cool, but man, this show is seriously confusing. They're throwing plot twists left and right without giving us a proper setup or explanation. |

Man it feels great to be validated about where this was going all along, may all the watchers that couldnt handle their surface level instant gratification not getting satisfied every 5 minutes rest in piece.
| @fast2611 Nah it's still ass. Only watching this crap to the end because Bones did my favorite show and I need to see how they have fallen. |
| We're seven chapters in, there's barely a GLIMPSE of a story and Rouge is almost an eye-witness in events that would not have been much different without her. |
Reply to YagamiLight_1212
Interesting. Looks like it’s hard to trust anyone in this series.
YagamiLight_1212 said: Interesting. Looks like it’s hard to trust anyone in this series. Specially the writers. |
| The story continues to both explain itself and expand in crazy directions all at the same time. We see more of Naomi's murky motivations, the conflict between Aletheia and Ochrona, and the two camps within the Immortal Nine. We also see Venus terraforming and miniature black holes, like they're some minor detail... Whaaa?? It's frustrating and interesting at the same time. It also feels like the writers carefully planned this out and threw everything against the wall, at the same time. |
| Manmade black holes to balance out gravity is an interesting concept. Okay so now we know what Rouge is not a normal Nean but a Proto-Nean implying she was a prototype and seems the Immortals are also Proto-Nean. That Asimov Code just seems worse and worse. It's one thing to prevent them from killing people but it's a whole other level to make them die for not saving someone. Rouge is in a sucky position but she needs to get some more sense and actually think more. It is understandable she doesn't know what is right currently since she doesnt know what is true about anything. Giallon looks pretty good from falling from outer orbit. I think he should have been more crispy. |

| Wait, so I'm confused. Was Naomi playing a character this entire time just to stick to Gene's agenda and make Rouge defeat the Immortal Nine in order for Aelithia to trive? Or is she actually a double agent (which seems questionable by the way they imprisioned her)? More jambled up is Rouge probably with the situation with the Venus project is also developing with the robot uprising limited by the Asimov code. It's too bad the narrative was taught in such a way that it didn't land that well with people. |

| Naomi's behavior is keeping things interesting in an otherwise kinda boring production. World building and ambiance is still saving this anime from limbo (and Rouge's design). |

| XD another character who appeared in the second episode and turned out to be one of the nine. Unfortunately, after episode 7, I'm still not involved in any plot, and it's starting to piss me off, the charming MC and the fights are no longer enough for me to watch it with pleasure🫤 from 7 it drops to 6 |
| Back in Aletheia, Naomi, now as Ochrona's Divine Facilitator, interrogates Rouge's brtother Gene Junghardt of the Venus Project after the imrpisoment of Rouge as a Proto-Nean, as much as Ash is taken his hands off catching the red Rouge. Needless to say, Chief Chau is also extradited for her actions in the case, though the administration of her still falls under Naomi's control. The one whom saved Rouge and administered Nectar to her, Jill is a fellow Alter Nean as well who has insider information, who needs her help to free Neans from the Asimov Code and Nectar, everything of which has been orchestrated by the humans. True as improvised, Jill is also one of the Immortal Nine: Flash Silvia, but yet another Nine who is an ally to her, who turns out to be Aes/Alice in personification. The truth about the Immortal Nine, they're just ordinary Proto-Neans with ordinary lives, though Rouge is just a dense girl who cannot think right from wrong. Ash and Noid clear their case as well with Rouge on their assignment, but it seems that there're more tales on the rise. And Jaron, he'a still alive, who would've thought. |

| A nice roboto animu. |
 |
| Lack of proper introduction really kills this series ngl. And what's up with that white transition while Jill show's up saving Rouge naked ass? Talk about poor decision smh... So Naomi was indeed the mole. Two immortal nine aka alter aka post-nean suddenly revealed themselves to Rouge and start spitting nonsense about their existence. Damn twins actually one and them were that immortal nine and same with the previous reporter. Smh all of them so skilled to hide around, eh? Long story short, Rouge in the middle of the tiring existential crisis, which one she's siding? Nean? Human? Her brother? Usurper? Or, Naomi? |
