I can count the number of times I regret trusting my instinct on one hand. They've been validated a hundred times or more.

And then I let you talk me into watching this for some fucking reason and then I watch ep 7.
I'll keep watching this but I'm regretting it right now.

Hmm, ok, so I won't talk you into watching anything.

I think it's a great show with a great plot and about some very interesting topics. But I understand there might be some stuff which some people might not like. People are different.

So yeah, I won't talk you into watching anything anymore.

It is good. Don't stop recommending things to me.
This is too much for me but there's no way I could know that.

Is it specifically about the final couple of minutes of ep. 7?

Btw. ep. 8 only has one short scene which you might not like. Besides that, it doesn't have anything else like that, as far as I remember.

Yeah, ep 8 was interesting. And unexpected.
I wonder what the point of all this is.
Or before that, if theres an intention behind this or just an ideology.

There must be something more to this movement than ideology. Otherwise where would Magase fit into the story?

  Spoiler:  
My first idea is the following:
1. She's able to hack human minds by some kind of a natural ability.
2. A group of powerful people learned about it.
3. They realized that in a world which allows suicide, by using her (or her skills which they might've researched and replicated already), they would be able to kill anyone without any consequences, which would give them enormous power over their political opponents. They would just all commit suicide. :P

My second idea (less probable) is that she inspired and controls the whole thing.

ep 9

Very few areas in US politics can move as quickly as Hartford did. I'm pretty sure in most cases Mayor's can't just up and make laws. Of course, the president has an area that can do that to some degree, so maybe mayors do too.

I like this president though. Why can't we have a president like that for real.

I hope we get to see Zen meeting up with the US storyline this episode.

A translation for ep 9 15:35; it wasn't provided in the subs I watched

It's wrong to kill a child.

It's wrong to kill an adult.
