| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A hint that Kuze is the boy from Major's childhood? Great episode, but why were the JGSDA doing there as well? |
 |
| Watching this episode made me realize something: This show is awesome |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| The way Kuze obtained the money was actually used in a real life crime. I'm sure you can find articles about it on some site. |

| While Kuze was describing the way he got the money I was thinking of Office Space. Hilarious movie. But anyway, good episode. Can't wait to see what happens between Kuze and Batou. |
 |
| What an episode, intense action scenes and nice development. Ending was something of a cliffhanger, I'm surprised the Major has yet to arrive. |
| Wow, this show has now build my confidence to bump it back to a 9, because honestly, the episodes before really sucked lol. Damn it, this show knows how to create a cliffhanger. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
Confucius said: Damn it, this show knows how to create a cliffhanger. Yeah, a very good cliffhanger, I can't wait to see what happens. The way Kuze got money sure was smart. |
| Love this show! the ending was very intense |
InfinityPal said: Oh snap. Kuze just pulled an Office Space :P What was with the random sex doll/prostitute things? I demand an explanation for random cleavage in my anime, dammit! :B It wasn 't random, they ware just that dead hacker's dolls. Another great episode, Batou Vs. Kuze? Hell yeah |
 |
| yeah when Major was making an origami from Batou's lunchbox i knew Major saw something that has something to do with the boy from the backstory of hers. it's also pretty amazing how Hideo Kuze could be compared to historical figures like Malcolm X, Che Guevara, and even Hitler!!!! lol who was the hacker that died with the sex dolls?? how the hell could someone like him had Major had contact??? love the music in this series, especially during the battle with the mechs. it's the same music that was used when Motoko hacked the CIS headquarters. so the boy that doubted Kuze actually survive the last incident and went with him. i like how kuze manage to get that large of money through tiny fractions of money from people didn't even know. it just shows you how flaw an Ai system can be :P love Batou standing out there taking on Kuze!!!!!!!! cannot wait for the last 6 episodes :P |

| Yeah, a bit obvious when the Major folded a crane with the bento paper. This episode was good. What a great way to take money. It's not enough for anyone to get mad. It's less than 1 yen, but when accumulated, it goes to great numbers~ |
| Man, I don't want to see Batou get pwned, but I think hes about to be that guy the villain beats up to show that hes no pushover. |
 "I like to expose what people hide. I'm an intellectual rapist." - Furudo Erika |
| Was expecting for the Major to arrive.. but damn.. what a cliffhanger! |
| Awesome episode again. Batou looked rather angry. Want to see him fighting Kuze. |
 |
Nice intense ending: |
 |
| Nice buildup lets see what's next! |
 |
| Really smart way of getting the money together, accumulating money less than it's lowest known form and adding it up forming thousands. Looking forward to Batou vs Kuze next. He sure looked angry. |
| Nice episode. Brilliant cliffhanger. It's like they are preparing the viewer for the upcoming action. Hope to see some Batou boxing moves. |
 |
| GOD DAMN that CIS dog. Again, he wanted to screw around with Section 9's plans to stop them from capturing Kuze. Wasn't his intention to favour the Indiv 11 and to eliminate the refugees? Now that Kuze is helping out with the refugees...isn't that against his rationale? |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| That deal didn't go well xD Where does those two Arm Suits came from? I don't understand, they were with the russian or what? But then why leave the case behind... It look like next episode, it will be Batou vs Kuze and Saito vs that weird russian cyborg. |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| 5/5 Sometimes it bothers me, the arrogant way in which Batou is proposed. Episode that raises the level of pathos, we are close to the end, the only odd man prepares the stage for Kuze? I'm curious to see if it will be so easy to catch and prosecute Kuze, or S9 will understand the intricacies of Gouda? Drawings, animations and good OST or nearly so. The vintage will save the world! XD P.S. There are during the narration, even in this episode, many obscure points and facts that are curious to learn more. |
 |
| Ooooh, showdown cliffhanger! :D |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Goddamn Kuze is an awesome dude. Haven't seen such an agreeable antagonist since well...The Laughing Man (who wasn't even much of an antagonist in the end but you get what I mean) |

| Things are getting very intense now. Excellent Episode. |
| Was a bit bored in the middle, but the end made up for it. |
Mirorin said: What a great way to take money. It's not enough for anyone to get mad. It's less than 1 yen, but when accumulated, it goes to great numbers~ Literally thought this again... Anyway, intense episode! Lots of adrenaline. |
| The hacker with the dolls and the "contact" that appears in the early of this episode, they're from the manga. They both appears in the chapter 07 of the manga. |

| 5/5 that's one messy deal, seriously, like its an all out mess. Section 9 vs Kuze vs CIS? this is going to be awesome~ |
| Wow, Kuze at the ending was so cool and calm. |
| Another hint that it's the origami boy. And wow, the way Kuze obtained the money was pretty clever. He's been a great character so far, to such a degree, that I can't help but root for him a bit. Go and get Batou! XD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Awesome episode. From the humanity of the major to seeing the Tachikomas fighting the military spec robots. And Torukia is one of the best tracks for action I know. I had forgotten how Kuze had gotten the money. Did they get the inspiration from Office Space? LOL. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Torukia was such a good fit for the action scene. One step closer to the end.. |
| Kuze's got a lot of hype around him, and quite the hero complex. The way things are going for him just feels so fishy, like it's all a part of Gouda's script. Well, I can't wait to see how Batou stacks up against Kuze. |
