| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Awesome episode, things are really starting to come together on this one. Just noticed that the leader of the Unions voice actor is Charles Zi Britannia from geass. Had to add it. |
| Well, now we know what happened to Haru. |
| We finally got a name to that Class leader, Kano. Somehow those three old women he referred to as Mother reminds me of the three Grey Women in the mythology of the Greek hero Perseus. Ughh only the head and perhaps the spinal cord is retained in turning people into Shapes as they've shown in Kohakura's case. :P The remaining Union members were truly fanatics to the end. Too bad they don't know how to fight smart. I wondered if Kimata's former right hand man turned into one of the Shapes too? |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| This is reminding me more of Ergo Proxy now, only darker. |
 |
| The number of body counts in this anime is just insane... Especially in the last 3 or so episodes, everyone is getting decimated! I'm kinda afraid of how this will turn out, probably a wasteland of hopelessness :( Kinda sad really thinking where this is going...

CinemaZebra said: Yep, which is what I watched right before this.This is reminding me more of Ergo Proxy now, only darker. |
| Man, this is pretty depressing. |
| The shapes kind of remind me of stroggs from Quake. |
| Oh Haru. What a gross way to die. Was Kano speaking with the Class seers? He called them 'mother'. It would be cool if his mother split her brain into three texhnolyzed bodies. Speaking of, seeing the head and spinal cord was pretty creepy.* I hope Doc pulls herself together. *EDIT- so creepy, in fact, that it gave me a nightmare 0_o |

| Shinji must be related to Chuck Norris, he's killing people with his finger. Anyway, the episode was very intense. Such a bloody battle. |
 |
| Good episode nice and violent |
 |
| Holy shit, great fucking episode. I understood why those men kept on fighting and why Kimata kept his men from getting Texhnolyzed, it really does look disgusting, and it seems to really change the people who get them. Kimata was pretty manly against the ones who are fully Texhnolyzed Veethorn said: I feel the same way...I'm kinda afraid of how this will turn out, probably a wasteland of hopelessness :( Kinda sad really thinking where this is going... |
 |
| It was awesome to see the remnants of the Organo and the Union fighting side by side against the Shapes. And poor Hal, even as a Shape Shinji can literally defeat him with one finger. |

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 |
| . . . I thought Hal wanted Yoko, would be kind of hard to win the love of a girl who is swayed by physical relationships with a body like that . . . Just saying. Anyways, poor union guys, just went to their deaths like that. They should have retreated and re-grouped, dying like that didn't do anyone any good. |
 |
| Creepiest ep so far imo |
 |
| Intense episode, really looking forward for the next one! |
 |
| Brilliant episode. Good to see the different factions coming together at the time of needs. Haha, I knew the doc lied then. Thank god Ichise didn't go berserk. |
Kagami_Hiiragi said: Idc if you think its weird, I have a life and friends and an income of money. |
Nope said: Kimata was pretty manly against the ones who are fully Texhnolyzed Kimata so fucking cool. |
| Finally, a decent episode. If this continues I might actually start to like this anime. |
| Well Organo is pretty much gone; the Union just lost their leader; Gabe's people dont know what to do without Ran... Speaking of Ran.. who was on the train with her at the end? I assume/guess she was arriving in Lux? |
~my list
I thought it was really cool when the head guy of the truth salvation group died in battle after taking on all of those shapes and how after he died his crew continued fighting to the death. They knew they were gonna die when they came there and they didn't care because they just wanted to go out with honor by sticking with their ideals to the end. |

tofei said: We finally got a name to that Class leader, Kano. Somehow those three old women he referred to as Mother reminds me of the three Grey Women in the mythology of the Greek hero Perseus. Great observation here, and I believe it is so in the case of the Class. The fact that a more superior entity forcing to control the very humans below them is seen in the situation of Texhnolyze now. I guess - seeing the case of Kohakura, the people were abducted by the Class themselves having seen the 'ghost' (which is the fully Texhnolyzed beings, basically), and the realisation of having been modified makes them fully obedient to the Class, even if their mind rejects them from doing so. Doesn't this remind us of a rather similar anime? 5/5 for the Union. *Salutes* |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| Somehow I don't feel anything towards Kohakura, he was just a greedy bastard in the end. Ichise needs some anger management. Pretty badass way of killing Haru, I get a feeling that Shinji will play a major role in the last scenes. Kano referring to people of Lux as toys is disgusting, he has to go down in some epic way. |
| The weakest episode imo. The series lost its charm with Yoshii's death once and then again, even more with the appearance of Shapes. |
| Crazy stuff! |
| Ugh, it would have been much better if the shapes had been completely mechanical, with the only thing remaining of their human selves being their memories. The fact that they still have their faces and their identities kind of lessens the theme that show still seems to be going for, about how too much technology can take away your humanity. |

 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |

I don't think it lessens anything. On top of making them recognizable, the whole point of becoming a shape is to have a new method of survival, which is why the prospect is so enticing. Besides, Hal's character arc would've come to an abrupt halt that way. It's also appropriately creepy looking to see human heads planted on machinery. |

| Kohakura ust laying there with his head attack to some sort of sack ... Dont forget about Kimata being pierced to shreds by the Shapes. vigorousjammer said: Ugh, it would have been much better if the shapes had been completely mechanical, with the only thing remaining of their human selves being their memories. The fact that they still have their faces and their identities kind of lessens the theme that show still seems to be going for, about how too much technology can take away your humanity. Just memories, I've seen it done in so many forms, there's just something about it ... with their head still there, with a functioning brain at least it's still somewhat of a human. (being texhnolyzed and all that) I could go into this a lot more and in depth, but that'll take a while :P |
 |
| Man Shinji was a boss there. Just accept your arm already, Ichise. I really hate it when he goes berserk mode. Destroys all his characterization so far. Kimata died a honorable death. You gotta admit, he trained his men to be faitful regardless you agree with their motive or not (I don't) |
 |
| Great and intense episode. Just imagine a future of people turning into similiar things like those shapes would happen to us. That sounds absolutely horrible. |
 |
| I really like that they kept the head in a "fully" texhnolyzed body. It made it much more striking to see Kohakura and Hal in such a way. |
 |
| Intense stuff, favorite episode yet. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I liked that they diden't remove the heads, it made it much more impactful imo. |
| Dammit not Kimata. For someone who lead a cult-like organization he was pretty badass. He was also voiced by based Jouji Nakata. |
 |
| Yes, Kimata got voiced by Jouji Nakata who also voiced the epic Count of Monte Cristo in Gankutsuou. |

Why are you still watching this if all you do is complain in every single thread related to the series? Are you a masochist? Why are you watching it if you hate everything about it? The last few threads it was clear you didn't even know who half the main characters were, let alone the side characters? If you've barely even paid attention to the show, what good are your complaints even? You're hard griefing. |

| "It's time to go, shall we?" Time for that iconic surface scene to start? Also, that finger in the eye scene hurt me. Please give me more nihilism, please! |
| That was hell on earth... Ran is still calm... |
| we got an episode that was very good, too bad it took 17 eps to get there |
 |
| Kimata said texhnolyzation damaged the soul and I think a lot of what the series has shown seems to support that, but in which case why was he able to die in a blaze of glory like he did? The common people of Lux seem to lack much in the way of spirit. Will the Union's defiance impress them or will they be blind to it? |
| The dude in the glasses went down like a chad, at the end of the day.. Ran really made the episode teehee, but damn what a masterful episode. |
