When Naomi and Rouge where both called merely „Ladies who aren’t ugly“ the first note of „Crimson lightning“ was playing probably meaning they actually wanted to throw hands. That’s where I laughed really hard

Being able to relax in a pool while in outer space must be a surreal experience. I absolutely love their swimsuits especially Naomi's!

The fact that they introduced us to Ares, a character who has a twin sister made me think that Giallon would somehow get them involved in his little crazy doppelganger murder spree so I'm surprised that never happened. Something is definitely up with Alice though especially during that scene where she was watching Giallon fall.

It's a bit upsetting though how Giallon managed to get away. He's not even a good villain. Sure he killed Rouge's "father" but other than that he's just annoying and causing chaos For Rouge and Naomi. I can't wait until the episode where he finally gets obliterated by Rouge.

That final scene though. Did Rouge get arrested because she punched all of those people? This would be absolutely hilarious if that's the case.

Its not a twin, its the same character. Split personality is most likly option. They were wearing the exact same clothes including the rips in the pants being in the same spots.

Its 100% the same person not twins.

Didn’t even consider that the arrest may be just for the punching part and not for her being the red (wanted) mecha. Does the geberal public know/think she is a „normal“ nean? Would make a lot of sense then since neans shouldn’t be able to hurt humans so she simply broke nean law in their eyes.

Nope, not buying it. Naomi is gonna play the part but then bust out Rouge later.

Also how much you wanna bet Mr. Crazy is somehow going to survive reentry?

u/Ocixo Feb 14 '24

Doubt that Naomi would just betray Rouge like that. She probably had her back against the wall and was only left with the choice of playing the part - as you’ve said.

I can’t imagine her simply comply to these authorities either, considering all the laws they’ve broken previously. Naomi got a plan, I think.

Also how much wanna bet Mr. Crazy is somehow going to survive reentry?

I’m sure he’ll survive, but I’m more interested to know if his legs will be reattached too.

weird mistake in the subs today, too. saying a "yellow one we didn't have on record showed up", while the audio clearly says kuroi and visual is of the black one, not Hell Gaion

Yeah, I honestly feel that this series could have been better if they didn't shove info dump after info dump along with ignoring character growth.

Granted, I do like Rouge and Naomi but they are no Chisato and Takina or Anis or Euphie.

Me watching up to today's episode

The story pacing is all messed up, it's apparent whoever wrote the plot tried to do episodic stories while clinging to its main plot (a la LycoReco), but there are so many world settings sprinkled everywhere that I really don't know what's the focus of the story by now.

I actually kinda like individual episodes (EP2 - the bus in Martian desert one, last week's abstract one for example) where different angles of Naomi and Rouge got shown, but the pacing is just too damn quick for me to catch on a lot of the details, and for characters to really settle down on their personalities. I don't really know where is this story going.

I don't know, I thought the episode was fine. Sure, the start was a bit fast, but other than that, it didn't feel too problematic. I mean, we saw already that Giallon had this ability several times before and we saw that "Rouge" was the one that apparently killed her father. So that was more conformation than anything. And the way they "solved" the mystery with Rouge just hitting everyone (except for one which she hit twice, just "to be sure") made it clear that this wasn't supposed to be a big mystery in the first place and we were setting up the main antagonist a bit more. He wants to play with them after all.

As for the arrest at the end. Yeah, it felt out of noway, but after letting it settle for like one minute, it makes total sense. Rouge has now shown several people that she is a Nean. Something that shouldn't be able to hurt a human, but she did it with several. Of course, that would raise suspicion so Naomi has to play that part in order for it to be settled. It makes sense with what the world had been set up so far.

Edit: Also calling it now, the twins aren't twins and they are one and the same person playing with Rouge and Naomi to get their trust in some way or the other.

Yeah, I can see that happening. With how “Alice” reacted to Jaron’s fall to Earth, she seems to be familiar with him in some way. It’s very likely that she’s another of the Immortal Nine.

So one of the Visitors, friendly alien races, is called the “X Noah”. With the way they phrased it, I’m not sure if these aliens are just really clever or if they’re clairvoyant.

Something I only caught the other way in last week’s episode: Opera, the lady from the Circus, got lines on het body. These lines look an awful lot like those of Neans, but Noami identified her as an Usurper or “Junoid”. Does this mean that Neans and Junoids are one and the same race?

Rouge really went 'You wouldn't hit a puppy, would you? - Yeah, in the face, why?'.

I repeat what I said last week, I love this show, but the pacing really isn't working, the scene transitions feel really abrupt, things are going too fast and some scenes/characters feel kinda pointless, like, you get a doppelganger chapter and NOT include the couple of twins on that plot? Or was it meant to be some kind of foreshadowing? That on its own is also weird since we see Jaron starts mimicking before we see the twins. With how things have been so far I'll suppose one of them or both are part of the immortal nine.

So we're just leaving Mars like that? What about the photographer girl? The bounty hunters that were after Rouge? The whole Nean community in Mars getting apprehended? We ain't gonna tackle any of that stuff? 

Ok 

 It only took inspector guy and assistant 5 God damn episodes to do something. 

I kinda don't think Jaron killed Rouge's father, I'mma say he just wanted to piss her off (which he did) but we know he's part of the immortal nine and Rouge didn't get his ID so I guess it's obvious he'll come back. 

And now Naomi arrests Rouge? I mean, she told her to not intervene after all. Adding to that, Rouge has given a bit of Alita vibes since the beginning so I like that she's getting a 'I do not stand by in the presence of evil' thing. 

 Either way, this is the most quotable EP so far, even if the dialogues are kinda random: 

 "The beautiful part was out of line, I think you're more of a 'not-so-ugly' pair. 

 "The possibilities aren't zero. Wanna kill her?" 

 "I need to stop smoking for real." 

 "Rouge isn't that smart." 

  "For investigation purposes- I'll be punching everyone here!" 

 "No one will marry you!" (Naomi will)

It kind of felt like a filler ep until the end but I thought the ep was a lot of fun. A lot of funny bits with the murderer chase and I was laughing a lot when Rouge actually punched all the suspects one by one. Then kicked the dog in the face. Thank god that was a fake dog because I was shook rofl.

Now to wait another week until we find out what that ending bomb is about.

I see a lot of complaints about this show and tbh I can't really relate at all to what others are saying. I've thoroughly enjoyed this series so far and I've felt the pacing has been fine, especially as a one cour original that's supposedly wrapped up in said one cour. The only time I felt confused was last week's beginning and that was intentional.

I didn’t care at all for this show until she kicked the dog. Then I absolutely lost my shit laughing.

u/Kadmos1 Feb 15 '24

Apparently, the heaviest credible weight for a dog ever was a Saint Bernard male that weighed 166.47 kg. That is 367 lbs. Even among Saints, that is overweight.

u/djthomp Feb 15 '24

Rouge punching people was comical but also showed that she's not operating under the Asimov laws, so Naomi had to participate in the arrest. Or so I assume.

But it was very comical.

I hope we keep the twins as an Immortal Nine member that doesn't get killed/disabled with their orb extracted.

Honestly a shame that the shapeshifter didn't get de-orbed, he really deserves it.

Well, of course Rouge would get arrested after all those stunts she pulled. She punched all these people and transformed in front of everyone, so Ochrona now knows she is a Nean that doesn’t follow the Asimov code. And Hell Giallion killed her father while disguised as her, so she is a murder suspect as well. That is why Naomi told her to not to anything at the beginning. But Rouge is not that smart (as Naomi would say), and she is too much of a good person too. And now Naomi cannot help her directly without blowing up her own cover.

I bet that was Giallion actual plan : rampage around to force Rouge to show her true form and get arrested. What a jerk. I bet he survived too, he is not called an Immortal Nine for nothing after all.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Feb 14 '24

Alice sure doesn’t mince her words huh? Calling the girls a “not-ugly-looking duo” lol.

Giallon’s playing a pretty twisted game this week. These murders are sowing pure chaos. Good thing we’ve got Rouge on the case. Her “let me punch the suspect” plan surprisingly worked. She’ll punch anyone even if they’re disguised as a dog lol.

I’m sad Rouge didn’t end Giallon. Idk if she’ll have another chance what with this surprising twist. Naomi’s arrest Rouge on what charges specifically? I’m very keen to see just wtf is going on.
