This might not be the show that the hype was supposed to give us but at least I'm enjoying the dub, more so considering how cringe some of the characters are acting.

imagine not wanting to live as an oppressed android. rouge was peak cringe in this episode.
@HibiChika You d know the other option she was given in that hypothetical is to be a murderer with a species or as the allegory goes racial reasoning.

Undead Unluck gave us Aizen, Rouge gives us a less problematic Hisoka.

Is this show ever going to have any male characters capable of doing anything?

Males don't have any place in this anime series. That isn't what it is about.

"Freedom" the word was used a lot, and between these ideals, missions & freedom what choice will rouge make??. Let's find out in this journey.

I'm still confused about all the parties involved in this. Some of them I have no clue where they stand, and the others are ambiguous at best (not that that's a bad thing). This is still fun to watch, but I hope things start to clear up at some point because I'm just confused.

It really feels like they're trying to do too much with this and it's totally not working. We're at episode 4 and still no idea what any of the motivations of the organizations involved even are. Now we have this traveling circus showing up to add another group that we have no idea what their motivations are.

I think I'm starting to see the issues with this show... sure it's amazingly animated, sure it has amazing music... but the story kinda don't make sense and it feels like a lot of things are happening with barely any explanation, like everything is good except the story, perhaps these early arcs in the anime are like that and maybe things will get better eventually? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Damn, Dr. Afdal was sus to me from his first appearance. But have to admit that Kenjiro Tsuda's voice acting made Afdal more iconic.

The doc's motivations were pretty unclear right now, but as he speaks about the "true freedom" for Neans, will it be finding ways to "release" control from humans, since the last episode talked about Neans rebelling humans which shouldn't be possible?

I'm really intrigued by the dynamics with the Neans which have potential for some great storytelling.

And that final fight. The cyber close-ups were so satisfying.

I'm really digging the visuals in this show.

I'm glad Rouge is being forced to confront all of the Neans she has killed. Up until these last two episodes, she has this casual, sulky kid attitude; especially with she is with Naomi. Like she is in some happy slice of life anime. She's a killer. It remains to be seen whether those Neans were worthy of death or not. But it's been bothering me up until this episode, how she can be so carefree after killing her own kind.

Time is running out for this, for me at least. I don't understand why these two are murdering(?) the Immortal Nine or why I should care about it. The battles are boring because I don't expect the MC to be killed or even seriously harmed this early in the series so it's just a case of watching paint dry until we get back to the story.

However, I do think there's some potential here. I'm a big Asimov fan so the Three Laws are something I grew up with as a concept and it might be that the writers have something new to say on the subject.

Character designer is clearly a big fan of Wendy Pini (as am I). I keep expecting Orthmann to ride off on a wolf.

Really enjoying this show, OP and ED, and all the visuals. Just feel like there's either a pacing or adaptation struggle going on here. Or maybe the confusion is intended.

Doc seems hinted the Immortal Nine isn't created as Neans, but "modified" from humans, and Rouge is probably the same. If so, Rouge is probably the "liberator" they actually expected......

I was surprised to see Rouge and Naomi patch things up so fast. Even though Naomi kind of apologized in her own way, I still wish she'd just said sorry outright.

The music in this episode felt a bit weird. And honestly, the show has been leaving us with so many unanswered questions for four episodes now, and it's getting a bit frustrating.

Wow this was a really good episode this went by in 10 minutes for me that’s how good it was

I’m wondering what the clown circus is up in so curious they look like they might start some serious shit and take out the whole Nean compound🧐


Idk how ppl hate this show saying they don’t understand anything like bro just let the episodes release first bc they’re obviously not gonna reveal everything about the storyline in 4 episodes😭🤦🏽‍♂️😭

Thought Rouge grew a little but apparently not. Afdal being Verde was no surprise and the fight felt pretty lackluster. Rouge got drugged and was even under the illusion spell but still managed to win quite easily. Anyway I'm more interested to know Naomi's secret and in the festival troupe.

There is a change that Im missing something but why are they killing the Immortal 9 I really don't see any reason for now like the first woman was literally didn’t do anything wrong expect of try to live? Afdal was wrong but not because of being Immortal so I do t understand the reason and then Rouge is the same with them so why she is not 'bad' can this anime start to give me reasons pls

I'm usually not too fond of robots/androids-- or really emotionless main characters, but I'm glad that Rouge isn't one of those types but is instead just kinda awkwardly inept. I think they could have stood to make Naomi's personal motivations and goals more clear and a larger part of her character. We at least see that Rouge's motivations are slowly forming into that of understanding or shaping her own autonomy so we can follow that and hope for the best for her. I know there's some super secret yadda yadda going on, but it doesn't help the audience connect as well to Naomi despite her generally amiable personality.

After this episode I am no longer sure Rouge is on the right side, the only thing that's clear is Naomi and the organization are using her for some specific purpose.

I am not even sure she should have killed Verde or the other neans, they're just trying to survive and she as an outsider has no context into their live or struggles due to her privilege.

Are any of the characters in this thing besides the main pair gonna last more than 2 episodes? That Vash guy is actually pretty cool once he drops the disguise and starts acting all psycho. I guess he's a good villain, but still don't make any sense

Heh to think that Naomi decided to comes and help Rouge but ended up being the one in a pinch. Fortunately that arousing Nean wasn't satisfied enough with Naomi, so he ended up getting fleed as well.

Now that Rouge manage to secure the Phantom ball, with the power of freedom, one clown trying to enter the scp area as well. Naomi needs to think fast and get the hell out of there asap while also containing the ball and Rouge too. Idk if its manageable, but, let's see next!

Ok, is the anime really trying to push the idea that "oppresed people are just as bad as their oppressors if given the chance and any organization formed by them to gain their freedom is run by a bunch of psychos who only want to kill"?

Like everything is still beyond vague but I DO NOT like the vibes that this is giving me thuss far

WTF, he literally had her like this for a whole 15 seconds and did nothing until she escaped it. He wasn't even monologuing! Just do it already!

Something like this just damages the credibility of the show more than if he actually had done it.
