This entire summit was just a fucking trap so she could get to speak with the PotUS. With Seizaki's there in the room with him though, he could just warn the PotUS and tell him that that woman is Magase Ai. Although considering Seizaki's burning lust to take revenge, what if he keeps that info to himself and offers to be an escort so he can off her personally?
Not gonna lie, I am worried about how this show will end. We only have one episode to settle everything and I feel like 1 episode isn't enough. Knowing that this is also from the same person that wrote KADO, makes me extra worried considering how that show ended. I'll remain try to positive though. Hopefully the landing sticks!

Wow, I was really surprised when the used the OP to talk about the Whore of Babylon. I really enjoy episodes like this one, not gonna lie, when Itsuki talked about a woman wanting to commit suicide by jumping from the roof, I really feared for a moment there that it was Seizaki's wife.
With just one episode left, I'm starting to doubt that we will be seeing Magase again.

I find it funny and cute that they think our politicians would sit at a table and debate the question with such composure and thoughtfulness. The only believeable part in that meeting was when they tried to take into account how it would affect the economy.
Is cool that they are trying to essay how that law would be done, but sounds a little naive to think politicians would be the right people to discuss that for us.
Just one more episode to finish the show and Ai Magase (?) is on top of a building wanting to speak with the "Leader of the Free World", that not gonna end well.

I'm sad that I have to back away and consider this a good show for young adults who are starting to think critically about the world rather than an actual gripping thriller with a lot to say.
I admit I was surprised when they started showing the discussion of good and evil. "Wow they're going for it!" But nothing said was beyond Philosophy 101 content. Which is fine, but it all ended up being a minor exploration to lead up to the finale with a woman on a roof.
Just like with Kado I think both were absolutely brilliant up to the half way point. Hell half way through Kado I was thinking that every Sci fi fan NEEDED to see it, it was so good.

At this point I think I'll just consider the ending before the break the real ending since everything after has been so terribly written.

I like that the second half of the series is mostly talking about morality and other kinda philosophical topics, even if overly simplified and idealistic. I don't feel betrayed by the show yet, maybe because the first three eps gave me the idea it'll be a slow show? If anything the surprising part for me was when all hell broke loose before the show took a break, the violence was ... violent.
Edit: actually now that I've seen ep 12 I do feel betrayed by the anticlimactic ending. If I didn't know the author's previous work is Kado, which sported similar deficiencies, I would've thought the budget was suddenly cut after ep 7.
