I like how the story really progresses so much in each episode. Other shows would've used an entire episode for the desert alone.
I probably regret this post by now.

Great diving scene. Of course Conan wasn't going to drown, and his physical abilities are just too great to give out in a demonstration like that, but I could still feel the tension.

Patch seems to have thing for slapping, and I'm not sure why he's so keen on breaking laws, but he's a pretty cool guy. That second-in-command though is just a dick. How did he get promoted while constantly talking back to his superiors, not even with constructive advice but only trivial outbursts. To top it off he misuses equipment, endangers employees, and even misapplies manpower to further his abuse of authority. A textbook case of incompetence.

I didn't like this episode. Conan's superhuman strength and Lana's telepathy are becoming more and more important plot points when I thought this series was supposed to be more realistic. Also I find that Conan and Lana's actions are unreasonable/stubborn and I'm instead rooting for the people who are supposed to be the "bad guys".

I don't think that excuses the fact that walking through a whole desert without dying is just impossible, or is that the "hand-wave" plot device of Conan's superhuman abilities again?

The Patch character is certainly an interesting one. He seems stern and authoritarian, but at the same time, has empathy without showing it on his face.

At the end, Lana was in disbelief, that Patch could just as well be her Grandfather. If he is, he must be different than he was the last time she saw him. It's only a matter of time before we find out the real truth I'd imagine.

Patch is really an intriguing character,wonder what's the deal with.

And btw,I'm still amazed how good the animation is for a TV series.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Conan is an innocent 10 years old boy


Let's use violence on him throughout the whole anime

Terit is a horrible person but Rokuro Naya is really something as an actor.

Masato Yamanouchi is a great actor as well. He's got a lot of range.

Child abuse just doesn't stop.

Interesting details about the social structure of Industria were mentioned. Not only are there classes (wishing to become a second-class citizen sounds miserable), but there's a point system too. Pure dystopian stuff, as if the post-apocalyptic world wasn't enough.
