And quickly off topic, Mr Sinestra, what series is your icon from?

Sorry for my late reply been busy but Serenade_beta already answered your question it was from Soul Eater.

Never watched or read it. At first, the only reason I never planned to watch it was the seemingly dull story/plot. Then, I gave up on seeing it after looking at the animation style.

ep 4

Spoiler:

One burning question I've had throughout the episode...how the heck did the dog survive? (and very happy that he did).

Another classic Mnemosyne episode. Rin getting minced in the end was gut turning...how she survives that and regenerates is something I can't even think about (I assume that she would seen as she is in the preview, Mimi seems to not think so though, perhaps she went to the other woman? traitor >.>).

Rin seems to be lacking though. Her skills were awesome in episode 1, but with each ep, she has been less awesome an more of a sandbag. Maybe it's time for her to upgrade seen as it is already 2025 (geez, use a gun or something ).

And times does fly...I'm not sure about yet another time skip, but Teruki looks old in the preview (assuming it is him )

I do not know if this has been mentioned, but the R2J DVD release includes English subtitles.

After drinking much coffee and thinking about this show (among many bad ones I've watched recently) I felt I wanted to type...

I just realized how truly impressed I am with that 20 year time gap. They did something very unique with anime there.

Immortality is rarely covered well in anime, in the Highlander drama sense. It's more like say, Hellsing, where you can watch the show and never feel that Alucard is offset from the world (outside of 1 or 2 flashbacks).

But the fact that in this, it's like the characters remain in place, while the world advances 20 years. It's really like ripping them out of the timeline and showing that they don't belong in our world. That they live on a different scale then us....

Well, and I also can't deny the appeal of the alcoholism jokes and torture scenes as an alcoholic alt-life-styling person myself.....

I have really high hopes for the next 3 episodes, I hope it ends well.. This could take a place on my top 10 list if it has a solid ending...

[darkchibi07]

Woot, episode 4 is subbed!

[EvilDevil]

ep 4 was awsome...
i wonder if the dog is immortal too? i mean we know it affects humans, but what if it affects animals too?...
and i was sad that the info/yurilolirapist/lady passed way... i wonder if mimi misses her...

[EvilDevil]

i wonder... before the cop die, he had a flashback of her in bed, looking embarrased... i wonder if they used to be lovers...

In episode one when Maeno, Rin and the cop guy were talking in the cafe, the cop was being stubborn or something about giving information to Rin, and Rin mentioned something about a night last year...

So yeah they probably had a fling.

An on another note, this episode was probably the best out of all of them, with a pretty good plot this time around.

Well, that dog survived2 10+ year timeskips, without getting any older. And then it got shot, without apparent injury. So I guess it is older.

and i was sad that the info/yurilolirapist/lady passed way... i wonder if mimi misses her...

Well, Mimi seemed awfully quick to use her services. In the previous episode, she was really reluctant. But this episode, she experiences a minor setback, and almost instantly, with no displeasure, she's all: "Oh well, I'll have to have sex with- I mean, get some inofmation from her." I think was starting to enjoy it.

[Blaat]

I enjoyed episode 4, although Meano Sr. > Meano Jr. Poor mum though, she looks really lonely.

The high amount of camera's was really freaky though and probably the one thing that's going to be true in 2015. Big Brother is watching you!

As for the preview, another huge timeskip, and we'll probably find out who the bearded angel is.

[mehmeh1068]

Spoiler for ep 4:

mimi has a girlfriend other than rin! lol
and rin seems to be in love with an angel, that's somehow weird. i thought she killed every angel she saw?
the plot was great, a little confusing at first, but it was nice.

[Polaryzed_123]

You know, after watching ep 4, you wonder what kind of relationship Rin and Mimi actually have. They're obviously lovers...sometimes. But how much more than that? Are they kinda like a really old married couple that are so comfortable in their relationship with one another that they almost seem like business partners? Or are they really just business partners? It obviously doesn't bother either of them too much when they have to 'pay' for information. Is that confidence in their relationship that one knows the other is merely satisfying a physical need? Or is Rin being snowed by Mimi? I shall ponder this for a while in 1.0.

It leaves a bit of a question mark. When Rin makes a little joke about getting some on the side, Mimi shows some fire like she's being jealously protective. They definitely have an interesting relationship.

[Sinestra]

I was so happy the dog survived lol they never mentioned anything about animals when they mentioned the time spores so it could be possible for animals to be immortal too.

So yea Rin touched on a good point that Mimi has been using a certain someone's services quite frequently. PLus they seemed kind of close maybe Mimi actually likes the stimulation from someone else other Rin for a change. I mean just because they are immortal doesnt mean they cant have sex with men. Hell Rin even talks about her being in love with someone the Mr mysterious guy on the other end of the phone who i guess we will find out more about in the next episode.

I guess Rin survived since shes in the preview. But i mean being sucked into an airplane engine and her pieces being blown out the otherside i cringed when i saw that. But what i didnt understand was where the hell Mimi was going. My guess is it was time for them to relocate again they had been in that office for a long time.

Kouki son was a whinny bitch and man did he try to get into Rins pants but oh well cant blame the guy Rin is hot and hes a teenage boy with raging hormones. Im just disappointed that Rin's fighting skills have gone down hill. Now it seems she just gets owned by everyone and just waits to pull herself together.

Im still not sure where the series is headed too but iv loved it for what it is. Most series do time skips and immortals horribly Mnemosyne has done a fantastic job with the flow from the 80's to the 90's to the new age. I feel attached to Rim and Mimi now maybe after seeing them go through so much and how their emotions really come out when they talk about how they cant die.

Looks like more sex and gore next time around

when you are immortal, there is no reason to continue to practice self-defense... either that or she doesnt see the point to it...

[FatPianoBoy]

Wow, good plot this time - that Ruon went from damsel in distress to 'kill it with fire!!' seamlessly. I still feel bad for her, being killed by her father like that and all, but notice Rin held her fire until she talked about putting Teruki through the same thing. That's when sympathy fails and survival takes over

The time skips are a strong point of this show, like sorrowsiren brought out. It has rewatch value at least to backtrack and remind yourself of where certain characters came from.

I've heard of cases where people have been sucked through jet engines and survived. I don't know about the super high-tech turbines they have in the future (), but I suppose it's not all that unlikely that Rin survived. Still, I think it's a fair bet to say that if she did get minced into thousands of pieces, she wouldn't be returning to us.

If Angels have an approximate lifespan of a few weeks, it seems odd for Rin to be talking to that winged fellow like an old friend. Maybe he received some special seed (the seeds are pretty much Minovsky Particles at this point, anyway) that gave him similar immortality to that of a woman.

Still trying to figure out what kind of a chess master Apos is trying to be, if any.

Mimi probably just got sick of hearing Rin saying 'no' all the time
Of course, one might argue that Rin always refuses because she's been trying to get a glass of water for the last forty years to no avail...

Again another good episode. This one I found a bit hard to follow, but I suspect that was my fault, not the storytelling. Note to self: only watch mindless drivel when falling asleep.

[Darkside]

Oh man I cringed when Rin went through that plane turbine, I hope she's able to pull herself back together ok . What was the deal at the end? Did Mimi nuke the office and leave or something?
