Metal Float News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

This week's episode is all about Vivy and her being forced to do something no AI before her has had to do: some serious soul searching.

Up until this point, the series' structure has been following a simple pattern with each of Vivy's adventures taking place over two episodes. Each first episode tends to set up the mystery and then end on a cliffhanger that recontextualizes what we've seen so far. Each second episode shows us how Vivy overcomes the actual problem and grows in the process. However, with this episode, the pattern is broken.

“In which our heroine breaks herself.” In this episode, the mystery of the “Mother” AI is revealed. It is she, not the AI walking around with Dr. Saeki, who is actually Grace. Though to call the Mother AI “Grace” is somewhat missing the point: AIs develop and evolve around their mission. By having her mission change from “to save human life as a nursing AI” to “to ensure the Metal Float's survival for the sake of humankind,” she's basically suffered a death of personality. Her memories and experiences are now nothing but lifeless data, which is why the robots in the last e...
