Apparently there's a community outside the dome - as if I didn't see that one coming. And it looks like Vincent survived after all. Cheers.

I wonder why that flying scout detected Pino if it normally doesn't detect autoreivs. In any case, it looks like the group of outsiders is in for some trouble once the Security Bureau shows up.

A fairly uneventful episode, though that's what I like about this type of series. I don't think it detected the autoreiv, it may have been a coincidence, or it may have spotted that centi/millipede. Then again, you're probably right.

Lil should have gone further with her investigations before she mentioned anything about that Proxy to anyone. She made a risk telling that guy.

It's interesting how some of the episodes of this anime just are finished in a very uneventful mood. I kind of like it this way.

im starting to like the op song. and as always i can't get enough of the ed.

maybe she was "detected" because she is infected with the cogito virus.

"it seems almost as if i was infected by the cogito virus" lol

It kinda reminded me of the movie The Demolition Man were the futuristic city of San Angeles also had another side to it, the underground world buried during the last great earthquake. High tech meets lowlife!

Re-l's beginning to get curious with Vincent. A single guy with two pairs of personal items? She's now trying to connect Vincent and the Proxy.

I guess there were more than two proxies. I was thinking there were just two in the first three episodes, but then there was the corpse in this episode. Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention.

I don't trust Daedalus. I get the feeling he'll be put in a corner by the bureau and forced to rat out R-el to save his own skin and that he'll do it.

Wasn't the second pair of items for his AutoReiv ?

And until now I thought Daedalus was a girl... probably because of the obviously female voice actor and the character design which reminded me of FMA's Maria Ross.

Well, the community living outside the dome was predictable and I assume Vincent survived because he's a Proxy. Which must also be why he survived the encounter with the other Proxy, and why it's dead.

Wow, Daedalus is a dude? XD I thought just a bokukko...

The body Re-l found is the Proxy that had cornered Vincent at the end of episode 2, isn't it? Because we never saw what happened then...Well, obviously he killed it.
Vincent's crooked smile says nothing good, I wonder just how innocent in all this shit he is.
Whee, I like it.

I guess he Isn't immune to some diseases that only exist outside the dome, since Romdeau is so clean, and most likely a closed ecosystem.

Also, if Vincent is an immigrant, then how can it be he has never seen the outside of the dome?

What else is creepy is the fact the autoreiv's are on their knees and look up to the sky praying...wtf? very disturbing in a good way

Late reply, maybe.

How can you guys say you have watched the episodes when it's clearly obvious that Vincent killed it and fled...

Pardon the double (it's lagging and I'm going to bed in a minute):

I'm just gonna state my guess here (For the immigrant concern), immigrants = not considered citizen and lives in the immigrant sector?

That beginning gave me a real headache, probably that same headache Vincent was having =_= not that it was bad or anything, but I wish I didn't have to suffer through a headache to watch that...all that shaky camera effects and the blurry focus x_x great directing though ^^

Hmm nothing much happened this episode. More questions arise. Re-l seems to be understanding with Daedalus not telling her things about the proxy, which is nice. They seem to have a good relationship with each other.

Glad they have Pino . . . I rather like comedic relief in series like this . . . But anyways I'm kind of curious if Re-l is going to leave the dome too, it almost seemed like she intended to follow him.

Good episode.

So Vincent passed out for ten days after he fallen to the bottom meh. Very stupid when he shoot the skyscraper. Starting to think that Vincent maybe the proxy since he looks too familiar at the opening's visuals.

Dear Vincent,

Grow up and stop moping, you whiny little shit.

I thought Daedalus was a woman as well...

Quinn's character seems interesting, I wonder if she'll join the group.

We got our first look at the outside world, which mostly consisted of lots of smog. We did see there are living things outside of the domes though, humans and that caterpillar.

Also, i can't help but wonder what possible purpose the shape of the gun Vincent uses could serve. Why would you make a gun that shot from the bottom? It would just tweak your wrist and make it harder to aim.

I usually don't like her type of character, but i find myself liking Pino. Maybe it's just that she is constantly contrasted against Vincent.

I thought immigrant meant people from outside the dome. Seeing how Vincent was surprised to see the outside world, I guess that's not the case. What's an immigrant anyway O_o
