I'm taking a huge guess here but maybe she uses oxygen for fuel just like biological humans. I don't think we have seen her recharging a battery so she must use some kind of fuel. I guess she has an artificial respiration system allowing her to use food and oxygen as her primary power source.

The proper overanalysis is that Nene and Uzal are the heralds of post-scarcity in a world that has long to go before reaching that point, but has isolated communities which give a glimpse of such a future. Nene, young and having never experienced true scarcity, is optimistic that wishes come true. Uzal, having lived a long life with the means to experience anything, needs greater stimulation to fight off boredom.
I read way too much into Shokugeki no Soma's characterization of the perfect tasting girl when she ate that bowl of egg rice and was completely disappointed when the the show didn't deliver the same depth of character. But unlike Pandora, which consistently delivers moe as a fallback to depth, Shokugeki no Soma didn't deliver extreme enough eroticism.

If you only have 12 episodes to work with, you really shouldn't waste half of them on filler.
No.434074

I wouldn't hold my breath, I assume it's set in the same universe as GitS and Appleseed (although probably earlier in the timeline than GitS judging by the more primitive prosthetic bodies) Masamune probably just wanted to jump on the moe bandwagon for a bit instead of everything being all serious and philosophical. I'm expecting the whole ominous background plot to be solved in 5 minutes in the 11th or 12th episode and be laughed off. Especially with that narration from the first episode.

I'd say the pacing is just right, considering the very moment you started worrying about it, suddenly the next episode is entirely plot-centric.

Yes, I thought it was quite obvious (same author, same technology, same terminology, existential issues, attack barriers, neck ports, cyberbrains, stealth tech, "Gertsekomas", references to the american empire, references to the criminal underbellies, spider tanks, title is literally Pandora in the Crimson Shell: Ghost Urn, etc. etc. - it's GitS). That said, they go out of their way to explicitly state that this spinoff has nothing to do with the overarching story and is mainly just a light-hearted SOL about Nene and Clarion. >>434359 happens anyway because Masamune can't help himself.
