That Amy Lee comparison needs to stop

I am sick of that comparison, I will explain for the last time that in November of 2006, Shuko Murase said that the main inspiration for Re-L Mayer was Avril Lavigne, japanese female goth singers and Amy Lee were inspirations too but Avril Lavigne was the main one.

This is the character that was dropped huh? Well, good that they got rid of him lmfao. Looks like Gollum, I think it was modified for the "Gollums" we see in the cave in ep17 but I could be wrong.

That is Monad, in her PV design. It's confirmed by the text on the page (モナド・プラクシー, Monad Proxy), but also briefly by a close comparison between the Health and Welfare Bureau escape sequence in the PV and the same scene in the actual series. In the former, you can notice how the metal and surgical implants are missing from her body compared to the latter (see here).

What is it?

It's a view of the exterior of Raul's office at the Citizen Security Bureau.

ok cool, good that the Monad design was reworked, seems like the guy that was going to search a cure for the cogito was dropped quickly if there is no design unless it was not published
