That was different, but actually great. I enjoyed this episode a lot. They're slowly introducing us to what's possible with the Metal. I'm looking forward to more.

That fight scene was pretty fun to watch, the music went with it nicely. I'm really liking how this series is turning out so far.

I don't understand how the android was defeated by "turning off the lights". I guess there's something more to it but I don't know what it is.

I'm disappointed that Holon was so easily disabled, but her willingness to go on a date with random men makes me wonder how functional she is.

It tracked people based on what it could see. Since it didn't have infrared scanning it couldn't pick up any targets in the dark. So in short, the android's data that was copied from the metal was specifically for battles in a ring with lights on.

I loved this ep. The music is what gets me though. Every time someone is about to happen they toss on that music and get you all pumped up.

They spent a shit load of money for those high rate fight scenes. I guess if your going to have a filler, making a really good one is the way to do it!

Can't describe how I love this anime. My absolute favorite apart from Kaiba.

This episode was very funny. Minamo is a good main character. The scenes between her and this rambo-android are very funny xD
Like datsunvic, I was surprised about the great fight scenes for a filler episode like this :o

Can't wait to see more; and yes, the musik of the OP is adorable *_*

Very good episode, I really liked the fight scene.
Also, I found the part where Minamo was dodging Iron's moves, so he couldn't steal the glasses, to be pretty funny =P

Very Masamune Shirow-ish plot for this episode, I loved it ! Real Drive is becoming awesome.

That man just randomly tripped a civilian, and broke one of his bones...possibly one of my favorite moments in anime now.

also you have to remember that she said she could never beat him. not only that she explained her weakness earlier in the episode, and on top of that she was fighting an android that can deliver power far greater than that of a normal human so the effects of her weakness are that much more amplified. it totally makes sense that she was knocked down easily.

i am guessing that that android used the necessary power based on its oponent as well as what its desires were. taking glasses form her would have been a simple matter and yet she managed to elude it...when it fought the guy, he managed to remain in the fight for a good long time, but when it fought holon, it went all out.

I loved it, probably my favorite episode thus far actually. The fight scene was awesome, and the music went perfectly with it and added so much effect to it. There were also a couple funny parts. Great episode.

This is probably my fav episode so far. I love Souta's blushing face and Iron Schwartz makes me laugh.

Very good fighting scene went along well with one of this season's best music OP's. Overall, good filler episode.

Eh wtf, Death Note music? I swear I heard "Trifling Stuff", "Mello" and "Action" from the Death Note OST in there. Same composers for both shows, but still fail.

Other than that, this episode was the best one yet. Still not very good, but this show has the potential to turn out quite interesting.

Solid episode. The series takes its sweet time to tell a tale but I'm finding I like it for that very reason. It's all very chilled out. Wonder what that 'Love Letter' book will turn out to be.

I was going to drop this show then they pull out a bizzare ring fight.

Maybe I'll drop it next episode.

This, lol. I thought there's something wrong wth my brain when I heard Mello but Action made me sure it's taken straight out of DN.

Pretty fun episode. The plot progression is rather slow but I don't mind it.

Iron Schwartz was terrifying when he was breaking bones but then turned goofy when he tried to get those glasses back. If he was built to hurt everyone, he should've broken a few of Minamo's bones.

Good fight scene. I'm trying to wonder why they built Holon the way they did. I mean sure, creating sex bots is completely on brand for humanity but having a robot used for being an assistant or whatever Holon's job is, that will have sex with literally anybody who asks seems like it would affect its productivity if people knew about it.

what a weird show that can't seem to decide which side of the line of plausibility it wants to be on
