Main/supporting character deaths and betrayal... I didn't think the creators had it in them. Things are certainly becoming more interesting but I don't think there was enough talk about the economy in this episode... <.<

Wondered about that too, and without letting her explain anything.. I mean, maybe Atlas seemed a good idea at the time?

And could someone please kill off that blond bitch? She's unbearably annoying, don't want to see her any longer. And if I must, it would be nice to at least see more of that antagonist of hers, Tarsian - what happened to him anyway? I think she mentioned him this episode, so he can't be dead.

I also thought that choosing Mii-ko as a vessel for screamo-sama was pretty random, and only makes the plot unneccessarily convoluted (same goes for the mushrooms, by the way).

About Takehiko, I suppose he had some sort of revelation during his "vision" last episode - either that, or he somehow found out Kuniko is a Digma.

Overall not such a great episode, I still like the show, but I wish they'd get on with the story they built up so far without adding pointless elements to a complicated enough plot.

Good twist at the ending, although they will probably solve the "ending thing" in the next episode. Overall good episode.

A good episode, but the revelations were disappointing, Miko "dead", Takehiko a traitor, despite him being always serious I thought it nice ;/ and Ryouko that I hate, it seems immortal >.<

gnah, Ryouko is immortal, I dont believe it
nevertheless Mikuni could have arrested her, immortality is not the same as invincible XD

I didn't understand why Kuniko banned her grandma too ; (

Yeah, Kuniko banishing her grandmother without any type of explanation was super dumb on her part. I can only hope we get some type of real resolution later. Totally didn't expece Mi-ko being sacrificed for Hiruko. Unlike the second twist, that was good. Hopefully Sayoko will take Mikuni to Duomo. Takehiko's betrayal seems really stupid. I mean, almost too much so. Since the last place we saw him he was hysterically crying, I'm going to bank on his being delusional as the culprit.

The plot is slowly getting out of control. Although the idea with Mi-ko was one of the few really good ones in the series.

Nothing new if you think about it. A lot of his actions were stupid (this is a problem of most secondary chacters in the series).

okay, this series is getting stranger and stranger....

Other than that, it's actually pretty entertaining....

By the way, why didn't Digma 1 use her superpowers against Ryouko? Maybe because Ryouko is invicible? WTF?

If she doesn't die horribly at the end of this series (or repent on her actions at least), it would epically fail....

The reason Takehiko is pointing a gun against Kuniko would be explained in the next episode. So how the hell to you know from now that what his doing is stupid.
Kuniko banishing her grandma was very logical since she was running Atlas and she didn't put all the people inside. It wasn't because she had a relationship with Atlas. It was because when she was running the thing she didn't help the people like Kuniko and Metal Age wants.

I was sad about Miko and Mikuri. Someone kill that green hair bitch. And wtf was that scene with the gun. Why weren't they shooting? I bet she pulled the safety on before trying that little trick with the gun. Luck my ass.
Sayoko finally did something good. For a crazy masosadistic doctor she is not that bad.

BTW what happened to Karin? Where is she?

Did the way Sayoko showed up and sort of snagged the situation remind anyone of Ritsuko from NGE? The two characters seem really similar to me.

Poor Miko, I actually started to like this as the combination with Mikuni was really nice! But it's still fucked up to see that they use human bodies as vessels for that thing...

The illustration cartoon was pretty funny as well :p

Did Kuniko have to banish her grandma? She didn't even ask her about the origins of Atlas that was so stupid.

yeah, i do feel that was stupid. i mean look at her. she must be like what, 70? that was long from her past.

not only that, kuniko loves prattling on about how unpatriotic the soldier boy is, spouting "your people" this and "your people" that.

at least he doesn't throw his own beloved ones out their own house.

and i love how she's perfectly fine the scene after. screw her, seriously.
--------
yeah gave up on a new OP. whatever.

no matter how much momoko wants to be a girl, he's still a man inside, with all those sex jokes he did :P

mi-ko was slightly annoying so i don't really care he's dead, or not dead, or whatever.

takehiro, go sit down somewhere, you wimp. i don't like kuniko but that doesn't mean i like you.

It's not like Kuniko is a sole ruler of the entire town of Duomo but oh well...she's just a "president" of a guerilla organization. I really want to enjoy this show for its unique concepts but there're so many slip ups here and there that prevent me from fully enjoying it. Surprised that we didn't see Karin, by the way.

Is Takehito that "Number 13" Ryoko was talking about? Or was that KD? We'll see.

P.S. I suspect Miiko's soul and body (and of those girls as well) can be returned. Just realized that Takehito's dead sister was sacrificed to that Hiruko being as well.

Ryoko is rising all sorts of ranks of evil villains. She truly is irredeemable. Miiko is gone, and now mutant plants are going to kill everyone below.

Found Ryoko lampshading her allegedly literal plot armour oddly endearing. No wonder she has such an aura of confidence, even in what should be completely hopeless scenarios. The white-haired kid she has licking her boots, on the other hand, is utterly pathetic. Hope he gets hurled off one of the spires when Atlas is claimed by someone else.
