It was alright. D:
It was nice to see that Haru going back to the Metal and Minamo had some cute moments but...that was it.

I liked this episode. The constant opposition of Metal with Real World and how people are getting too much "addicted" to it is simply great. It reminds me of Internet vs Real Life discussions.

+Minamo is cuter without the ribbon.

hahah i found this to be very interesting too. probably because of the phylosophical implications of the whole idea.

Given the means to, if dogs could speak, would they have anything to say; interesting or otherwise?

It reminded me of the original manga of Ghost In The Shell, the episodic story, often philosophical with some comedy too. A very similar feeling to me. Well I guess Masamune Shirow never changes ;p

Great show but I would like some main plot now, because I probably won't stand 26 episodes like that (well, I know I said that for Cowboy Bebop 10 years and stil loved every moment of each episode) !

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

there should be slice of life in genres of this show. I was bored this time, even though I normally like this genre. sorry, but episodes revolving around cats in Aria & Sketchbook are better. not that I dislike dogs.

I didn't feel this was as good as the previous few episodes of the series, but I still liked the subject matter. Plus Dap (what kind of name is Dap anyway?) was cute, as is Minamo as always. I also thought the philosophical points raised by cyberbrains in pets were pretty underdeveloped, as were the shallow responses to said questions. That being said I did like the overall message of the episode however, since even if completely understanding the feelings of another is doable via a cyberbrain it still doesn't mean such a condition should have to be met for someone to love and care about another person or their pet and vice versa.

Well, another episode that shows us what is possible in the metal... it was kind of interesting but boring at the same time...

Hmm, so far we have a lenghty explanation of the world. The 'main plot' everyone is so eager to see will probably kick in in the second half of the series.

Has anybody actually got anything good or worthwhile to say rather than reiterating the same thing over and over again?

Also, have you actually thought that there might not be a main plot? I think it will be interesting if the series stays like this and i'd be really happy with it.

Another nicely different episode. The Metal is quite versatile.

The preview looked good, can't wait.

The episode was well done but it wasn't really my thing. So with the Metal you can listen to animals? huh kinda cool but I can see it being annoying if they are like my pets...

I liked this episode because it actually showed something other then humans in the metal. They also shed some light on how the metal works (ie. "Do you know who the admin for this metal is?"). It makes it more clear that this is a network type system with the possibility of Admins just like any other network in real life. Essentially you could just replace Metal with Network and the show would turn into Ghost in the Shell lol.

As for the plot, I think it will come later. They still have to explain a bit more about the metal and how it all works before they can dive into stuff.

OH MY! WHY CAN'T THAT GUY FIND HIMSELF A GIRLFRIEND!?!??!? TWF!??! WHAT A FEEBLE EMO FREAK. It smells like zoophilia, isn't it?? I just don't understand. That guy spend all his time with a dog and think about it. And that DOG CIRCLE kinda pagan ritual.
Do you REALY think that people with such desires and thoughts EXIST?! Are they all gone mad in the future? )))
I think I't a silly episode. Just a waste of time for me.
Oh, and of course the chase scene was REALY dull. So much action for nothing.

I wont even bother answering that, as the answer is obvious common sense.

Good episode again. I can see why alot of people are not interested in this show thou, same reason as to why hardly anyone is interested in WMT shows etc etc... It's a shame really.

Onto next episode.
