That was some pretty good backstory honestly, one of the best (and not boring ones) I've seen in a while. Shame the replicant had to die, she was honestly a pretty decent singer imo. Something about the OST in this show really hits honestly.

I love the soundtrack so much. I'd actually like to look up who provides the singer's voice because she had some soul.

I also was rooting for the singer, while deep down knowing my efforts were futile. This was one the best episodes thus far, imo.

What she's singing is in English and the subtitle is in English lol

Yeah I noticed that too. Thought it was weird though I suppose it could have been done for the hearing impaired.

The music really goes well with the genre of this series and the songs do a good job rounding the story of each episode.

I thought someone shot her at the back but it was that guy and he said sorry I shot you lol

Pretty sure I'm not the only one who guessed the mysterious hooded tattoo artist would turn out to be that guy. Now that my suspicions are confirmed I'm not feeling like this path is headed in a direction I wanna keep following. I don't do tragedy.

Dio was the villain all along

Yup, especially after she was able to enter the fathers condo. When she passed the security access recognizing her finger/hand prints as Jr. was definitely a huge clue. It was obvious he rewrote the security code to recognize her as him.

But you don't want to watch anymore, seriously, what were you hoping it's path to be??

I did like Joseph's back story. It was obvious by ep 2 Elle was a AI programming experiment of Jr's and and that Joseph was an ex blade runner hired to help Elle out. The advance and exclusive replicant tech Joseph had access to and knew how to operate with expert skill made it obvious. BUT with Jr having a new replicant to play with ... will Jr retire Elle?

instead of making a commercial for the singer I would have liked to see them develop their relationship

Being 3d with strong western influences may have turned the traditional japanese anime fans off

Kinda shame, coz its solid stuff. Most underrated series I've seen in a while

Can you elaborate on these "strong western influences" sir...

Story based on the classic western film, Blade Runner. Cityscape artwork is based on the classic western film, Blade Runner. Gritty & dark artwork tonality is based on the classic western film, Blade Runner. Producers are from the US. Score composers are from the US. Production companies (Adult Swim, Crunchyroll) from the US. Funding by US (Alcon Group)

Can you show me an anime (3d or traditional) with those western influences that is/was popular amongst traditional japanese anime fans?

Hmm, ok, you have a solid argument.

When the voice clearly doesn't match AT ALL lol ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)ヽ(⌐■_■)ノ♪♬
Ohhh... It's him ◉_◉

All Black girls just wanna be white!

The singer is Alessia Cara, she's of Italian descent, not black.

Thank you for posting her name because I'd like to hear more from her. I could give two fawks about her skin tone though.

Agreed! I just thought the comment was a dumb assumption. Glad you like her!

Man stfu, wtf are you talking about smh?? She's definitely not black, you'd know that if you did 5 seconds of research instead saying stupid shii not knowing what you're talking about.

Who would want to be a white person, 😂 Black people are beautiful the way they are, we got all the goods from superior genes, beauty, intelligence etc, nothing special about white people.

If your good, I'll get you a tree next christmas.

F*ck outta here with that boozo clown shii fool, that's dumb shii to say and far from the truth, you're super lame.

That was a good backstory for Joseph, and I figured that was the guy with the hoodie.

Time to see what happens next lol

Good one.
