Some background storytelling aside..damn, Silvia can really be stubborn with that personality.

Kinda interesting how Cyan is being protrayed in this show especially her ranging roles. Naomi and Rouge are still a team together even this late in the show though. That's a partnership that I expect to last further.

Eden is Jean's father??? Don't know the process of the reproduction between human and Nean but if it's closer to human (via natural sex) then doesn't his make Nean human too? Transhumanism?

I thought the twists were going to be predictable after episode 9, but it seems there still some interesting twists in store and more questions to the previously held assumptions.

The true nature of Neans continues to be interesting.

Really good episode I wasn't expecting to discover that Eden is Jean's dad.

Another really good episode, even if it basically just set the stage for the next two. I have a feeling that the Puppetmaster is Roy... but I'm not sure what it means that Eden is Gene's father. Cyan was once again the best part of the episode, and it makes me wish she'd been around a lot sooner. There are still many questions to be answered before the end, and I just hope that it's a satisfying conclusion.

So the blade runner parallels get even stronger in this one. Eden being Jean’s dad is a big twist and totally changes what we knew about Nean biology and reproduction

Cyan as usual the best part of the episode. I wonder who the masked father is, I have a feeling it’s Roy, but who knows at this point with all the twists they’re throwing us.

Didn’t realise we still had two episodes of this one to go, I wonder how everything will get resolved. Still a lot of plot lines with Silvia and the other Neans.

The writers have decided to put on a literal puppet show to explain the backstory, and they still stopped short of explaining much of anything and raised even more questions. Like who Gene's father is. It kind of looks like they're hinting at Noir? Is this actually relevant? And what even happened to Eva? She "vanished"? Does any of them know?

The episode as a whole was surprisingly dull, even when it involved Rouge and company infiltrating a Nean mass-production planet that's been taken over by the Immortal Nine. A lot of walking down corridors while flapping their mouths, and occasionally fighting some regular droids. It's like Rouge and others aren't even trying to fool or sabotage their enemies, and like there isn't any real danger.

So little happened and so little was clarified in this episode, and we have only 2 episodes left..

It's disappointing to see Cyan unable to resist the Puppeteer's voice after Rouge accepted her as a sister. Speaking of Rouge, hopefully she doesn't mistaken the imposter for the real Gene.

While I'm getting a bit confused as to what's going on it's still pretty fascinating to watch the storyline unravel.

Rouge and the rest landing in Venus while Gene, the Alters and the Puppetmaster await their arrival, with the disparity of Code Eve residing within Rouge to free the Neans and the end the Asimov Code, but Gene had other ideas to maintain the relationship between humans and Neans by hiding the Immortal Nine Proto-Neans, until such a time came when Rouge has to face her own brethren. Such an approach otherwise, despite going for and against Eva Kristella's plans.

Silvia, the Nean one birthed from Eva's experiment, now heralds the plan to rid Rouge and the rest. The proof that Neans could be mas-produced to keep their legacy alive, even if it meant helping the Usurpers, anything goes. Still though, Cyan in her new state, she's looking a lot better now. As Cyan rounds up to the Puppetmaster with Ash following her from behind as Jet faces Aerkos, Ash truly is taken for a ride when Cyan is manipulated back to the Puppetmaster, only for her to assume his role.

Still so many questions, but is time enough to resolve everything?

@WolfWood37 That's what I thought too lol

I did have a feeling Eden was a father or rather played a bigger role. But to be the papa!?

Ughhhhh I wanted to see the puppetmaster’s face so bad man they just keep teasing us with the reveal ong

And broooo no way Eden/Noir had a romantic relationship with Eva like how does that even work? So Neans can bust a nut?💀💀💀😭

Cyan is so funny and adorable man she needs to be protected like Rouge said😫

The animation in this episode was really good the part where cyan and rouge took out the robots was amazing and especially the part where Naomi and Rouge and were running towards the black reactor and the frame-rate dropped that was a cool touch ong🔥🔥

While this show is still confusing I think it’s confusing since we’re all watching it on a weekly schedule so we tend to forget some of the details compared to if one were to binge watch yk

Neans are mass-produced like action figures in Venus. Funny.
And it seems they have reproductive organs now...

And of course Cyan succumbed to the voice.

Interesting episode. Found out some information that Eden was Jean’s father and I honestly wasn’t expecting that. Be excited to see what happens in these next two episodes 😬

Bruh i can't believe they dropped Jean Eden's son that fast, so that's why Jean's eyes looks like a mix? Idk what's the real situations there, need more episode ahead to understand it more, or its just a sweet talk between those two Nine. But well looks like there'll be more fight within them and things getting more convoluted than before because Rouge failed to see the disguise behind that. Also Cyan as well, bruh she's too easy to manipulate and the only pure human that dare to intersect over their farces just couldn't do anything worth mentioning rather than just keep walking and questioning, why am i even here, right, ojiisan?

Oh goodie, another day, another chance to shit on Cyan by being such an annoying character to deal with. Not only is her little sister not cute but it also hinders plans by making everyone around her dumb down. I'm still not sure what the success rate of the overall plan is considering how emotional Rouge can get at point and the fact that Naomi isn't that trustworthy in general. Also, it seems like the puppet master is someone we probably know but at this point I just want this to end.

Dubbed or subbed, the dialogue lines aren't great at places. 2 more episodes to go.

Oh lord... from this episodes very opening scene... I'm speechless. It just gets worse. I'm starting to get Wonder Egg Priority vibes off this anime. The chick birthing an android out of a dumb egg machine, while she looks about as old and experienced as a school girl, then professing her love to it is ridiculous. The attempt at being weird and freaky, including with the joker-card styled characters rendered too perfectly in CGI, all it is is just weird. Wonder Egg Priority without the cuteness and charm of Ai Ohto.
All of that conversation with the "traveling carnival" or whatever was painfully dull. None of the things they talk about make any sense, it's one surprise after another and nothing that's been slowly revealed it's just exposition-dumped as usual; and I don't care about any of these people. "You killed our father!! WHY?!?" had absolutely zero emotional impact.
The only plus is the English vocals are excellent, especially the Puppeteer, they do way more justice to the script than it deserves.

So Gene's father is Eden? Nean and humans can have children? So he's a half nean and half human? Would be ironic if he brings peace between the two race. Who's behind the puppet master? Roy Junghardt? Would make sense why he called Cyan Rouge's sister then.

So I'm a little confused, is Noir ... Rouge's dad??

I saved this to binge instead of watching weekly because I figured it would make more sense, plus the dub is also excellent and it's always a bit slower. Unfortunately the pace isn't fast, plus it is confusing and not in a good way.

The few people I've talked to who know I like sci fi mysteries have all told me to go watch Pluto instead.
