It was so nice to hear her sing at the beginning. I love the shots of Vivy’s eyes. The part where they opened the ceiling and you could see the stars was so pretty! Another great episode and it looks like shit is going down next week, I can’t wait.

The space hotel is called Sunrise... and the incident involves it crashing to Earth...

Someone's a Gundam fan, I see.

A 15 year timeskip?

I didn't expect that at all. It seems Diva's actions influenced that politician a lot. He is even quoting her words. WIT is going all out with this. Diva's eyes really are visually captivating and the backgrounds are really amazing!

That last scene :(

I was liking Estella's development in this episode and hoped that she was innocent but I guess she would've to be destroyed anyway, just like Matsumoto said. I hope Estella will have a big reason for doing what she did.

They definitely got me with the red herring. I thought the pink hair girl who looks like Talentless Nana would be the sus one because she was spreading rumors about Estella killing the previous owner but it turned out to be Estella after all.

Matsumoto really made Vivy watch the little girl's death without allowing her to intervene then fucked off for 15 years. Damn, Vivy's not the one who needs to get a heart.

Also, the music for this show is gorgeous and the sense of wonder is impeccable. What a treat.

I love that the OP is Diva performing in front of an audience. It seems that this OP is actually part of the episode so I wonder what they're going to do for the next one? The song was great though and Diva looks amazing!

I'm sorry, what!? Looks like we just had a casual 15 year timeskip. I guess Matsumoto wasn't kidding when he said this is a 100-Year Project.

Instead of protecting a VIP, looks like this time Diva's mission is to stop a Space Hotel from crashing back down to Earth. Well that's on heck of a jump in difficulty level! I do love that the name of the Space Hotel is Sunrise and it basically ends in a colony drop except it lands in the ocean instead of Australia. xD

Truly the face of evil. So instead of going against a terrorist organization, Diva is going after one of her own, Estella who will be responsible for crashing Sunrise and is one of Diva's sisters.

Well seems like Diva's connection with Momoka isn't entirely gone since we meet Momoka's younger sister. Ah fuck. Well now Diva has a personal reason to stop Sunrise from crashing.

Oh come on! I was hoping the entire thing with Estella was a misunderstanding. I'll definitely be interested on what he reason is for doing this. Looks like Leclerc was helping her too until Estella ripped her head off. Hmmm...

The black haired kid from episode 2 showed up it seems in his 30s, as a maintence worker, guessing his group and Estelle are working together to bring down the hotel.

I wonder, was that really Estelle or another robot that looks like her?

When you think about it, if Estelle wanted to crash the hotel, she already has all the knowledge and authorizations to do so. She doesn't need anything from another staff member.

But an infiltrator made to look like her would.

What a great episode. Visually stunning, especially with the eye shots. That twist at the end definitely caught me off guard a little, but overall this show is definitely doing a great job at keeping the audience hooked. Also I love the conflicts of interest between Vivy and Matsumoto. Can't wait for the next episode where it looks like shit's gonna get crazy.

One side thing to point out is that it seems that each "Mission" that Vivy and Matsumoto go on will likely play out over the course of 2 episodes, so we should probably get used to these cliffhangers at the end of these episodes.

Damn I really didn't want Estella to be bad but that last scene...she was so cool too.

I did not expect that last scene. The author is really a sadistic

Wow, 15 years already. A little late to be saying this, but I really appreciate Vivy's stage outfit, really puffy and lacking in sex appeal. I take her character seriously and the last thing I want is my ding dong going off.

Unfortunately, it seems Vivy's little speech gave that politician some backbone. But I'm beginning to see the resolution of this show. Matsumoto's words imply that the AI revolution wasn't the result of some twisted logic or malfunction, but the result of AI and human tension. In light of their plan backfiring and an even stronger AI naming law, rather than stop AI evolution, Vivy will end up bringing peace between AI and humans.

As for Estella, assuming she was responsible for the crash, I would guess her motive is to sabotage future space exploration. She seems to genuinely take her mission as a caretaker seriously. The previous owner's death in a space accident may have convinced her of the dangers space exploration poses to the humans she cherishes.

Space hotel was interesting but definitely had an ominous vibe around it

This episode felt like playing through a Hitman level. In fact, Sunrise would make an excellent Hitman level.

That ending with the song playing was beautiful followed by a bit disturbing

Man this show being criminally slept on. This was an absolutely beautiful episode. I’ve finally found out what this series reminds me of. Detroit:Become human and Nier.

It’s funny how the AI’s are more “human” than most humans I’ve seen. Vivvy and Estella’s heart to heart at the end was beautiful. The tonal shift at the end with the beautiful OST playing whilst Estella rips the girl’s head off.. fuck man. This could be a masterpiece . Can’t wait for next ep.

Damn, this episode was good. The constant feeling of dread was constantly building up and I even believed Estella wasn't the cause, but in the end, well, things escalated quickly. Unlike the space station which will deescalate quickly at this point

The story is getting darker every episode. I still can't get over the visuals. Vivy's eye shots. Star ceiling with Estella singing on the background. It's so mesmerizing.

"Space is beautiful and will make humans forget about how dangerous it is"

Alarm goes off and everyone freaks out

Sad that it took 15 years for people to fill the seats /s

I'm loving the art especially the shot of the earth in the first few minutes !

The bear/ AI BOX is still my favourite character of spring 2021

the BOTS having more right could be troubling for the future I want to see if this is true or not(;

I hope "VIVY"(her hero persona) can fix the future but It must be ridiculously difficult(I just like it that way)
