Yeah, I had misunderstood the basic premise I guess. I thought that normal coils were perfectly safe, but if anyone tampering with them can cause a non-euclidean hellscape event they kind of need that level of monitoring. Kind of silly how widespread they are if some dude loving around with his cell phone could break reality, though!

I'm assuming official coils have some safeguards to stop them from going haywire, which illegal ones probably lack. Honestly if official coils could be used for crime, illegal coils probably wouldn't exist in significant numbers and there's actually be a whole lot less problems.

That is also what I assumed until I read this: Droyer posted:You could also read it as "a coil used for an illegal activity is reclassified as an illegal coil" so So, that dude in episode 2 would have had the same results if he had messed with a broken regular coil. Edit: Like, having infinite free energy would still be a step up even with the potential danger, but there doesn't seem to be any sort of caution about normal coils. The monitoring is necessary because of the danger, but people accept the monitoring without anyone mentioning that danger. poo poo's weird, is all. gimme the GOD DAMN candy fucked around with this message at 13:47 on Feb 1, 2016 |

It's possible that New Tesla may just tell people "We need to monitor your cells or else you will die of Undefined Bad poo poo, seriously you don't want to know, but trust us, it'll be a bad scene" and people go "Oh, okay, definitely don't want that." In the meantime, hey, free energy! This last episode kinda lost me. I'm torn between going to read the manga to see if any of that stuff made sense, and riding it out in hopes that the story aligns somehow.

I totally agree though that the whole monitoring thing just being accepted is kinda weird and only actually justified once you know the secret that they are actively trying to suppress.

There aren't a lot of options if you don't like it though; become an off-the-grid weirdo like Mabuchi and hope you can afford to pay for gasoline or take your chances with illegal coils.

Oh no Mira who is a robot that evidently has to shower is attacked during one Oh no all her robot powers don't work Oh no she's helpless and has to run away in a towel and probably wear it for all of the next episode Well, I can't say I'm surprised at this point...

I wont defend the fanservice but I gotta say its pretty funny that Mira is so human that she does the "take a shower as brain bleach" thing even though she probably never needs to shower.

I'm not sure if the whole situation is just lazy writing or a way to show how coils are so beyond human ken that sticking a (and likely the first and only) self-aware robot in the mix doesn't mean a thing. It is almost certainly the former, but I like the idea of the latter.

Got some Cowboy Bebop vibes from the short fight scene there was in this episode. I'm also glad the episode answered the most pressing mystery I was wondering throughout the particular scene: The fish was good. Seriously, I couldn't take my eyes off every single time it was visible.

I figured that legal coils are monitored for location and power output and structural integrity, but I don't think they can inherently scan the environment around them. You need physical cameras for that. Still, I'm pretty sure the higher ups at NTE know Mira is a robot, she's pretty lovely at pretending she is not one. It's just that they value Kyouma and his skills and companions higher to stave off the oncoming apocalypse. Yeah, I don't think NTE are the actual bad guys here. At least not yet. Corporate entities are maladapted for nightmarish fractal hellscapes.

Mira pretended not to be a robot in episode 2 and then she pretended to be a normal robot in episode 4. NTE knows that she exists, but not that she is anything special. Considering all the time and effort they spent hunting down their founder there is no way they would leave a robot that might have some of his secrets alone. Really, Mira's only advantage is that no one knows that her father even had a robot so no one is even looking for her.

"Make sure to only use Energizer batteries when breaking the law. The Duracell ones are sapient and will just shut off."

The camera going 'look how sexy the robot is' when she was getting dragged into the world of loving Event Horizon was just a wee bit uncomfortable. Like, I get that they were trying to use nudity as a signifier for vulnerability, but there are ways to do that without zooming in on a character's T&A every chance you get. Happy, safe fanservice is best fanservice.
