| Damn, this episode had a surreal experimental feeling to it. It still had the harsh environments and adventure-style themes but also introduced us to Brad and Luida. Pretty interesting how this also ties back to Vash's connection and character. Definitely had a different feel compared to the other episodes but still important to the overall series. |
 |
| this episode was the first for me to feel so short even though a good amount of stuff happened in it! there was a lot more exposition so I guess I was just immersed in it all. we finally got confirmation that Vash was a plant even though last episode hinted at it. was also cool seeing vash grow up and getting rid of that L bowl cut (whoever was his and nai's barber on their original ship deserves to get flamed fr), seems like next episode we will learn more about knives & his motivations, the preview for it looked pretty brutal. worried about luida's wellbeing for sure. can't wait to see what happens! |
ad stellas super alas angeli. |
| The re-account of the doting mother Rem Savarem with the twins of Vash and Million "Nai" Knives, it's clear that whatever Nai was aiming for, his destruction would be one that Vash could not afford to turn his eyes away from, running away until he was found. "Independents", or "plants" cloned from original cells, Vash was one that escaped from Ship 5, only to be found by Luida and Brad in a research facility. And while explaining to Luida about the perils of his past life when things were alright, it's hard to get him to acclimatize to the new environment when he lost everything he had hoped for. The more both Luida and Brad hear about Vash's plant situation and his connection to them, this is all the he could do to save even more lives, and both rewarded Vash being a resident of Ship 3 while giving him a sense of motivation to heal the numerous plants around, growing up as if he's part of their new family and the one place that he could call home. The Black Box that Brad managed to unravel, that was the final nail in the coffin to tell them that Vash was one not to be trusted, thinking that he's working together with Nai. In the end, there is still no escape for the Independent, and his atonement to take care of his other Independent psycho brother, Vash is off on a journey of his own, until the moment he was saved and came back home again, for the 2nd time, facing Nai. What an episode, the dark tunes of this new rendition just never stops to amaze me. |
 |
| Just the kind of reboot this series needed. Every next episode gets better. Though need to know the kind of godly deed Knives upto. |
 |
| So we finally become the backstory of vash how he got on that ship and who he lived so fat and what experience he had. Good ep. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Just 4 more episodes to get a resolution to the Woolfood and Livio plot line, also gotta get through the remaining Gung-Ho-Guns, Legato and Knives...they could leave room for a season 2 honestly. |
| We got a deeper look at Vash's backstory and it was nice to get a time lapse that showed him grow up and gain the trust of the people on Ship Three. Unfortunately, yet predictably, that didn't last forever as Brad managed to restore the black box and hear Knives' conversation with Vash, giving the misleading impression that they were working together. Luida going out to bring Vash back is giving off all kinds of death flags for her. Ominous cliffhanger to leave us with this week. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Vash backstory finally so he can communicate or control the Plants eh thats his talent as another Plant Luida is pretty |
| pretty decent vash flashback. rem was nice, and brad too. luida looks alright. only took em long enough to finally give vash a bed. i like how they showed where vash got his red coat from. |

I hate to say it, but I have a terrible feeling that Luida is totally going to be killed off. Vash isn’t allowed to have nice things in this reboot. 😢 |
| I wish more people watched Chobits. |
| I was bored and underwhelmed by this episode. We were given a small amount backstory and yet it felt like nothing happened. Vash was found by crew from another ship after his split with Knives, but then he ran away after they found out that his brother sabotaged the other ship and he had a role in it. That's barely anything for a half hour episode. We weren't shown why Knives decided to snap or why Vash gave him the access codes. I'm just going to assume they'll cover it in a future episode so I'll give them a pass for it now, but this show has weird pacing issues. On one hand the story feels rushed, and yet it feels like it's moving too slowly or not much happens in an episode. |
| An okay episode,I felt that not much was going on really. |

| Another marvelous episode. Those scenes with Rem hit differently in animated format of such gorgeous quality. Vash's life was harsh from the start. Just when he seemed to have found peace, everything went south. I'm excited to see Vash and Knives' meeting after such a long time since the Great Fall. |
| Vash memories and surprise the last seconds!!!! kekeke |
Skoorb said: yeah that's how i'm feeling too it feels like too much death flags were shown.... the next episode preview didn't help especially w/ all the blood and her being choked by knives 😭 we'll see though!!!sssfullchain said: this episode was the first for me to feel so short even though a good amount of stuff happened in it! there was a lot more exposition so I guess I was just immersed in it all. we finally got confirmation that Vash was a plant even though last episode hinted at it. was also cool seeing vash grow up and getting rid of that L bowl cut (whoever was his and nai's barber on their original ship deserves to get flamed fr), seems like next episode we will learn more about knives & his motivations, the preview for it looked pretty brutal. worried about luida's wellbeing for sure. can't wait to see what happens!

| Loved the back story episode and how they handled things. This adaptation is pretty well done. The cliffhanger at the end |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| I really hope this isn't a 1 cour show, otherwise it will feel real rushed. The flashback was good, but what made knives such a jackass psychopath...i forget from the manga. |
 |
| Vash backstory was tragic. Knives took everything from him. |
 |
Quanda1eDing1e said: Nice backstory as a follow up to last episodes reveal. I can probably guess what happened to ship no.3 aka home. 4/5 You would probably guess wrong. |
| Marvelous, I'm really digging this remake. |
| Good backstory episode for Vash especially how he's falling into despair again after that light of hopes, but Kvines is really scary that's harsh |
 |
| Finally we learn more about Vash past. |
 |
| I'm so in love with this show. I will definitely check out the original version after this as well. But, what an amazing episode. So many sweet people in Vash's life and it was so nice to see Vash with Rem and then Luida. The direction was very strong for this episode. OST choices were beautiful. |
 |
| THE OST IN THIS SHOW IS FIRE |
| So Vash and his twin Nai are plants that can communicate with other plants. Just when Vash was settling in on the remains of Ship 3 and gaining the trust of Brad and Rudia, the truth comes out about the other independent plant being Nai that Vash didn't tell them about. Vash was forced to runaway after overhearing Brad and Rudia hearing the truth from the damaged black box. Of course, Vash eventually returned to Ship 3 only to find it abandoned and running into Knives. |
 |
| Every-time the show replays that scene where Knives calls Vash his accomplice with that shit-eating cartoony villainous "Right, Vash?' the show lose points for me. Besides that, this was a pretty enjoyable episode. I remember Brad being a thing in the original anime, though I think his role was different. Either way, I liked this episode, it's a somewhat comforting experience, seeing this turn from Ship 3 to home. Which reminds me, I like that they've been saving the title cards for specific moments in the narrative, even if it means it'll be happening in the last third of the runtime. They did this last time with "Wolfwood", showing it after he insisted he was Nicholas the Punisher, as if the episode itself was calling him out for his false bravado. Here, it's too punctuate the Home decision and set-up for him leaving. The only other problem with this episode is I'm not sure what point there was to showing Vash returned on the ship with the new arm then immediately flashing back to the circumstance. Seemed kinda pointless. |
| A flashback that explains the patterns on Vash's face, his connection to the lost technology and even his red jacket. So Plants in this world are organisms producing the organisms humanity needs to space colonisation and he and his twin were Plants bred for that purpose. Vash has a complex about being unable to produce anything useful like most plants do but as a plant he is able to empathise with other Plants, landing him a job as a doctor of sorts for the plants. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Jeez. Seeing Vash's backstory is pulling at the heart strings... |
 |
| The more this anime reveals the more my sense of dread builds. Knives is definitely going to kill everyone on Ship Three. A lot was revealed about Vash and Knives’ past this episode but we still don’t actually know what happened with the crash. Obviously, Knives caused it but the big question is why? |
 |
| That was pretty cool. Prob my favourite episode so far. Really liked the pacing and it's nice to get more context on wtf Vash is. Looks like the backstory is continuing into next episode. |
