| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, that was one weird show. I guess Malice got upgraded again and everyone is saved. Happy ending I guess. Soundtrack: 8/10 (really, it was quite fitting) 4/10 (below average) It was... "different"... |
  |
| Read 3lnathe's review for a good information. This is very intriguing. I like it. |
| Well, that was surprisingly good ! The atmosphere was very well-done, the characters very interesting, just like the story... There's a lot I haven't understood and I definitely don't feel like trying to analyse all this right now, but I'll most likely rewatch this show quite soon. The animation also really grew on me, as I said before it has its own charm. Overall that was a good experience, I really don't think it deserves such a low score (though I'm not really surprised by it). |
 |
| My 106th completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 7/10 rating. |
| Couldn't care less about the underlying messages lol, 4/10 for jarring visuals and shock value. |
| What in the fuck did I just watch? This was a very bizarre (and in a few parts disturbing) OVA. The plot was a bit difficult to follow, and I'm not sure what some of the imagery was trying to convey. The themes and concepts of humanity, life and change are very prevalent, and I think some parts (like the ending) are left to the viewer to interpret. Overall it's an undeniably weird and interesting anime. The somber atmosphere was especially good, it gave me some serious Texhnolyze vibes. Maybe I would have given it a higher score if the animation didn't look like it was straight out of a PS1 game cutscene. 6/10 |
| Not sure if this was supposed to be a deep show about existentialism and mortality or just a discount hentai exploring the writer's weird BDSM fantasies... Doris best doll, btw. Her design was beautiful and the fact of her becoming a nymphomaniac once Malice turned her into a human was... interesting, to say the least. Especially when she, as a literal sex doll, didn't seem very pleased with the idea of keep pleasuring their "masters" to begin with. |

| This show was sad :( |
 |
| Full of plot holes, quite pretentious, with a very ambiguous conclusion and general moral. (Or whatever message that it tries to give). In this ending Malice fulfills his dream again and prefers to be completely free and opts to a time reset so their friends can come back. Does this show us that the robots in some future may get to develop feelings? And the big flaw is that angel or whatever thing that makes the dreams of Malice come true, is never explained why was there neither explains whats was its purpose, he shows up just because of some allucinations of Malice and... nothing more? It was a completely casual appareance/arrival and it's never explained why, it's just there because yes. 4/10 atleast it's okay for a work that was made by 20 people. |

 lets all love lain. |
| It might be my favorite Konaka Chiaki work (I haven't seen that many to be fair). The PS1-tier animation may not look impressive at first glance, but it effectively emphasizes the eeriness and fits well with the unsettling atmosphere. |
| Malice became a mermaid-angel spirit or something following her "dream" to restore the original state of the city, and was mostly forgotten by the other dolls, though it seems Heather and Joe@Admin still know her even in this timeline. There were some other differences this time around as well, as Joe@Admin actually prevailed against Devo Leukocyte this time, rather than being stabbed and injured. Essentially, it seems everything is back to square-one, though with a subtly more hopeful air about it, despite there not being much tangible change in the grand scope of things. Was thoroughly impressed with this. The unpredictable narrative, creative designs for the machines and mutants, multifaceted depiction of mechanical and organic "life", and tenebrous underground setting did a stellar job of immersing you in the watch. Could consider it a testament to the notion that a series needn't be overly verbose and lengthy to implore thought in the viewer. It isn't particularly easy to find any major discernible flaws to criticise here, aside from the lighting being a bit too dim to make out what's happening at times. |
