| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The old Organo is gone, Racan and the Union are losing members who seemed to be joining the force the Class is building in Lux/Lukuss. I though initially the Shapes are pure robots but they seem to bleed blood too not only oil! :) Maybe they're the lost members of Racan and Union? |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Crazy, crazy stuff! tofei said: I though initially the Shapes are pure robots but they seem to bleed blood too not only oil! :) Maybe they're the lost members of Racan and Union? I thought this as well, I mean the "preacher" did mention getting beautiful bodies. And I wonder what role will Shinji, Racan and his friend that left have in all of this. |
 |
| Finally, finally, finally some movement in this show! It's not that I don't like the initial slow pace, but it was already episode 15, and I was wondering if the story is gonna get the chance to develop and end in a satisfactory way. But now my hopes picked up.

I don't know about you guys, but for me it was obvious that these bubs are texhnolyzed. Hell of a texhnolyzation tho. |

| So the Class will use the citizens of the city to create an army? |

| Wow... I didn't see that coming at all. The Class: shit just got real, for Lux. |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| Looks like some shit is going to go down next time and the resistance is not going to go down without a fight. Those Class sure are going to bring one though. |
 |
| Shit is going down. Cyborg invasion lol. |
 |
| Great episode. it's getting more interesting |
 |
| Holy shit... I thought just a few limbs were going to be replaced not the full body. |
 |
| Wow. The Class made their move big time |

| Can you even call that human anymore? Those things are more like robots that bleed . . . Why the heck would anyone accept becoming that? |
 |
| Oh boy things sure are going to get quite intense next! Looking forward to see what the next episode will offer us! |
 |
| Things are going down real hard soon. |

| Aren't those "Shapes" the same thing that was behind the wall trying to kill Doc 2 episodes ago? |
~my list
So all the guys from Shinji's crew replaced their whole body except for that part in the middle with the green fluids and they are allowing themselves to be used by the people on the hill to take over Lukass. I found a bit too convenient when the guys were shooting the first robot with pistols and nothing happened to it but then when the other guys shot it with pistols it was destroyed immediately. |

| Is it fear? Is it domination? Is it the prospect of being 'evolved'? I find it repulsive that they have chosen to become ugly inhumane robots, as rationale beings with brains and blood. Pirating_Ninja said: Which is why I find it revolting. There has to be an explanation - I believe through fear and domination. The 'Class' has been controlling the people of Lux and Gabe all along, although for unknown radical reasons make the current leader (the blue-haired dude) decide to intervene directly. After all, Organo exists for the sole reason of being a puppet with arms controlled by the Class. Can you even call that human anymore? Those things are more like robots that bleed . . . Why the heck would anyone accept becoming that? People from the Gabe decide to accept their inevitable fate of being dominated; although, Oonishi was different. In turn they had to make Kohakura the puppet ruler, which has been implied by himself since long (the sauna scenes in episodes 10 and 12 IIRC). Similarly, people from both the Racan and the Union were also made to go against each other under the control of the Class as well, although similarly again the Union and Racan's leaders decide to go against the Class' will. Now they are going to be eliminated - or are they? "Toppa suru zo!" 5/5 |

| Best episode so far. Simply put, brilliant. |
| Wow that was crazy! |
| Hey, look at that! The show looks like it's finally going to have a real story! I'm actually interested in something the show is doing now. It's about fuckin' time! Most of the events of those first 15 episodes seemed incredibly unimportant, and the important stuff probably could have been summed up over the course of 2 or 3 episodes. Anyway, I'm glad that it's finally doing something interesting, here's hoping that they don't screw it up and they actually use this new development well. |

| great to see some new and existing developments thus far :) |
| Things are getting heated, looking forward to how his ideals can some to fruition. |
 |
| Eh I don't understand some people. Like what's wrong with a show having slow pace? You think you can summarize everything so far in 2-3 episodes? Fine, try it. But that's not art anymore. That isn't anime anymore. It's just a rushed pile of trash. The show is going fine, just accept it. This is starting to remind me of Shiki tbh. Bleeding robots though... that's new. |
 |
| The factions are in complete disarray and the Shapes are looking to completely take control. I guess if you've lost complete hope in the city you live in, being completely texhnolyzed is the path of least resistance. |
 |
Hmm the Shapes seem awfully familiar. Cybermen anyone? This episode is a turning point in the series for me. The series is a whole started a tad slow and until around episode 10-12 I couldn't get into it. After episode 12 I started to enjoy it as the pace picked up but still couldn't see where the series is going. Now though the power struggle between all four sides is apparent and thanks to the Shapes, it's starting to feel like a proper cyberpunk series, something that seemed absent to me until now. |
Bondrewd did nothing wrong. |
| I'm not sure why, but I just lost my shit when Ichisei started piggy backing Great Father. The way it was animated made it look goofy as hell - something that only Kojima could come up with. |
Chinese Cartoons are the end of me |
| It's kinda hard to believe that those things are still human, pretty crazy stuff. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I don't see how they'll be able to fight off these clearly superior cyborgs. |
 |
| Hope Ichise will go Super Saiyan |
| My God... we are reaching cryptic levels that are not possible. |
| Class my ass they are monsters and what freaking name the have "THE SHAPES"... Wonder how Onishi can face them with guns only. |
| These Shapes reminds me of the Combine soldiers from Half-Life 2, a transhuman infantry. |
| OH shit the situation seems impossible, its like a army vs some street thugs lolz and not to mention they are divided. Unless there is some kind of mother brain I don't see how they will pull threw this. o.o |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| A lot of each clan's members are leaving to join Class, and seems like Class's leader is making them full texhnolyzed to become "Shapes", and they're absolutely OP (as we can see that their bullet can even create giant holes to kill the enemy), I really wonder how they'll be able to stop this. |
 |
| Their leader was just kidding the whole time. I guess what he did was justified enough, though it's probably not a good idea to keep it a secret It looks like the final arc is starting since that robot from the cameo a few episodes ago came back with reinforcements. Is Kano the next superman succeeding Yoshi? I'm more focused on Ichise The fights annoy me. Seriously, it's like the only thing I don't love about this anime besides maybe the disorienting politics. Why put so much focus on developing the brilliant setting but then just throw in cliched and contrived sword fights? |

| finally kind of interesting, shouldn't take over half of the series to do so, especially when the show face planted for most of the first half |
 |
| best episode tbh, everything really coming together so far i can't find any big flaw even though i think its pretty boring |
| good opinions on anything, block = I own you |
| The old squabbles between various rival gangs are gone, and now here comes the hardcore texhnolyzed coming to occupy the land |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| So Yoshii's boss was even more deranged than him, who woulda flunken! I still can't wait to see Ichise's potential unleashed, the Doc called him the "most advanced in the city" after all. |
|
| "The Shapes" are pretty cool, for nameless infantry forces. I don't really care much for the Organo though, so them getting replaced with the Class isn't as shocking as it was probably intended to be. I think if they actually made any of the factions even slightly sympathetic, then fighting them would garner more emotional investment. |
