Wouldn't it make sense for Giftia's to have some authentication device to limit access to legitimate Terminal Services personnel? It seems ludicrous that random people could walk up, claim to be a TS employee, and walk off with or disable a Giftia.

It also seems ludicrous that TS One could have overheads five times higher than the other agencies. Is the problem that TS1 isn't aggressive enough in turning around retrievals? They certainly took their time with Marcia, but five times longer on average seems a bit much. Unless the standard is show up, retrieve Giftia, and leave regardless of the emotional toll involved.

[Flower]

For some reason the standard you mentioned has been my assumption for the other offices. No hard data on that yet, of course, but we do know that Section One is known for both more expenses and the more...delicate or personal touch in...erm...customer satisfaction during retrievals if at all possible, treating both Giftia and their owners as if they have souls.

That being said, I also was wondering where the expenses were coming from. Maybe it will become clearer in later eps? Although in ep one when Isla went flying through the air, fell several stories and destroyed the roof over the garbage area of the apartment complex...that could prolly be an expense easy to guess from what we have seen thus far. ^^

[Esclair]

Tsukasa is starting to get a bit annoying. His reactions to the simplest things are that of a child, and he is terribly lacking in almost any practical skills. I'm wondering if he really isn't some kind of new Giftia with the mind of a child stuck in an adult body, because otherwise his character is just really poorly written.

I wonder how heavy Giftias are... *squash*

Hopefully after this black market retrieval thing finishes we actually get an episode about these so called Wanderers just to put some seriousness into the nature of their jobs.

mmm, to me it seemed that Isla didn't register** see at all what was happening between Michiru and Tsukasa. She was too busy (and flustered due to her physical problems) trying to clean the strawberries. That's why Michiru felt relieved when finally she looked at her, because she saw Isla being absorbed by her current task.
** I can't tell if she didn't register it, if I have to guess she did, but remained loyal to her kuudere self.
Having said that, I'm not implying that the writers are not pushing a romantic triangle on us. Because they are. An inoffensive one, but still one.

What exactly is a inoffensive love triangle haha I'd really l love to know. It doesn't make me what to actually ship anyone so maybe that's it.

And I that I thought it was the broader term I could use. Let me also to spare to explain it in a roundabout way

Yep, almost it is Basically Michiru's interest seems more like the standard template one that is there just because it has to, not intended to be pushed much forward, or so it seems to me right now. If there will be any romance it's seem implied it will involve the two protagonists. So nobody will fight over it. But I may be wrong obviously.

You got your wish earlier than you expected I guess.

That cliffhangerish ending had that sort of feeling D:

Anyways, whoaaaaaaaa. I was not expecting the show to turn into this type of tragic direction. I mean yeah, I knew it wasn't going to be pleasant with the fake retrievers involved. But still, the fake retrievers caused way more problems than I had expected.

Also felt bad for Marcia and her past as well ;_;

#5

Spoiler for plot:

Fake retriver kidnapped Marcia.
It was a pain running around looking for her.
Things got pretty serious fast too.
Working with R.Security didn't sit well with some of them.
First time seeing a Wanderer... creepy & scary, dangerous too.
No wonder they have to collest Giftias before the time runs out.

[eceso]

Wow intense episode

How the hell did Souta manage to get through all the r security that had the area sealed off?

Smh Tsukasa is an annoying main character

Not sure what the board is supposed to mean at the end but another cliff hanger episode it seems

[ChampDream]

Wow a cliff hanger.
Intense tragic episode, I feel sad for Marcia.
so what the point of the black market people to kidnap Giftias if they can't do shit when they go berserker?

[HandofFate]

lol, whose idea was it to design giftias like this, and approved them knowing they not only stop functioning after X hours, they turn into rapid violent animals.

lol @ the psycho-pass gun he used to shoot Marcia

Very much this....

I thought the ep was overall a good one and quite engaging, but there were a few things about I had a difficult time with accepting - Kazuki's "blackmailing" the leader of R Security squad and Souta somehow turning up even though R Security had sealed the place off.

Other than that was pretty good, but I still feel that the series could have been a much better.

[Fizix]

Ahh its sold itself on me tonight. I was on the fence as I felt the comedy was detracting from it, but tonight it showed that when its on, it'll be on.

Tsukasa doesn't bug me too much; the shows about Isla really and there is enough to him for it to work. He seems a bit like a deer in the headlamps but I guess he will be.

One thing about the cliffhanger...

Spoiler:

Why can I see a 9 year reset switch or something similar coming? I hope they don't do anything like that, but I have this gutt feeling that it might.

One thing on any possible romantic element between Tsukasa and Isla. Just how old is she supposed to be? She's one of those characters who could be anywhere between 12 and 16. If she's towards 16 I can deal with there being romance. If she's towards the 12 mark then that's a deal breaker for me. I can assume Isla is "organic" and effectively human, so can get past that, but the age thing could make it weird.

It needs to clarify that if an actual romance does kick in.

[Wandering Soul]

Was not expecting that tragic turn on events. I knew the Black market guys would cause trouble but I was not things to go like that.

I do not know what was up with that last scene though.
