At first I didn't really understand what the Baron meant by "change your fashion". I thought it was against her clothes. This was a bit weird.
Tetsurou is really popular among women it seems~

Oh, so she keeps the robots. It still doesn't explain how they died.

I think it's that lyrical feeling to it that enchants me so much

Run out of energy? Think also about this: why were the skeletons in the positions just as they were riding?

I see now what narrator was talking about in episode 1... So those mechanical bodies existed even in middle ages. Interesting

Ryuuzu, give boy a time. You can also accelerate the time and ask him every ten years if he didn't change his mind. I think in thirty of forty years he would give up

Maetel becomes even more mysterious

She's a mass murdering psychopath but if you put that aside she's a actually nice person......

jesus fuck this arc was silly

At this point, it feels like everything that's happened (and is yet to happen) is all part of Maetel's grand plan of moulding the ultimate boy/man, and everyone that has taken part (and is yet to take part) is all in it together.

jesus shit why didn't that manbitch just go online dating or some shit

Well that was different yet interesting, quite liked the backstory and overall development. Some of the actions were strange though but well let's see what's next!

Nice (common) story with useless/absurd time control power.

This story arc had a lot of
Hey kid, wanna /SS/?
energy

Like, why Tetsuro? Is this woman going around killing hundreds or thousands of people to find her one true shota?

I really felt bad for Ryuz...but it rings rather false when Maetel describes a mass murderer is kind at heart

I've given up looking for logic in this anime, putting aside the dated 1970s understanding of space, it's a dman steam train in space. When a woman get's an early mechanical body that nevertheless has the power of a goddess built into for no reason
eh, sure, why not

I really dig how these stories are told. The setting and tone give them such a peculiar touch.

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

Honestly, I found this episode strange. It continued the story of the previous one, but Ryuzu's drama, Maetel not caring as much about Tetsuro leaving GE 999, and the way the short story ended did not please. I don't think it's something to worry about, the show saves a better quality for the future, I hope.

At the end I was thinking that Tetsuro would tell her about the lonely thief from a few episodes back and that she would go live with him. But yeah, she has killed countless people and we are supposed to feel sympathy for her. Really strange to describe a mass-murderer as having a kind heart.

I feel sorry for Ryuz. Her killing those train passengers was definitely wrong, but she's suffered alone for so long.

I'm certain that Tetsurou will see her again.

How does this stupid kid still not understand that getting a mechanical body is wrong? I genuinely hate this show.
