THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
With that chip in-hand and only three episodes left, I'm looking forward to find out what goes down. I think the next couple episodes are gonna be packed with plot development. Did they ever say why they had to relocate the survivors of the Karma?
Oh, and I'm very glad that Bob is okay. That dude rocks.

the action scenes and characters are so good that i almost don't care about the plot, but it's moving along nicely

something about the designs remind me of barmy mid 90s video games, like Super Mario. Maybe it's the fact Zeiram looks like a giant, gnarly old mushroom

about the Karma: I think it was sort of explained in the first episode when they suggested the company was split and there were rogue elements doing the Zeiram project, so they're probably just trying to sweep it under the carpet and get rid of / pay off the witnesses. But then they're also saying Zeiram's in town and responsible for any chaos, so I dunno.
Bob is back but looks pretty different though!

This.

But yeah great episode nonetheless, really enjoying the art style and animation.

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

My understanding is that it was declared illegal long ago to look for and capture Zeiram for keeps. The organization found and captured Zeiram because they thought they could control it and use it as a weapon of sorts, but then they lost control and Zeiram started his rampage. Now that Zeiram is causing "international space" chaos, the organization is basically hiding the fact it's their fault Zeiram is running around freely. Hence, why they relocated the survivors of the Karma, etc.: to keep them quiet.

Iria is spider-man. I enjoyed the elevator(s) scene too. How convenient that she had a tool just right for cutting that cable.

What happened to Bob? Did he turn into a computer program?

Those that were chasing Iria had stormtrooper accuracy.

This was the best episode so far. I enjoyed the music in this episode I felt it helped create the tension once Iria was inside the tower. I liked that Bob was alive even though he is Yamcha. I'm curious as to what will happen next since she has that chip.

in general this anime is enjoyable , best anime art style the 90s . action moment is relatively good. although,i do not understand how did she mange to escape all those bullets how could that happen physically and statistically . she seems a true character to me . or let me say , i feel that her personality is not fake or artificial , she does not Alienate. in another world a suitable heroine

One of the best episodes yet! There's so much background detail, and interesting use of perspective due to the verticality of the building that Iria scales to confront the vice president. The guards had stormtrooper aim for sure, but it did not take away from the action! Bits of great humor and wittiness here and there. And I did not expect Bob to be turned into an AI.
