Done. The release schedule seems to be biweekly.
They have an upvote button at the and of the chapter, consider pressing at least that to support the manga: https://web-ace.jp/shonenaceplus/contents/3000131/episode/2750/

Final episode of the anime later today.

If the manga dates of their arrest are accurate - then Makina and Chiharu are arrested at different years?
Whether it's year 2020 or 2021 - it means Makina's back up is at least a decade old

It's like the continuous backups that companies and organizations make of their server data. You have the main storage running on the server and then the backups that are stored on a separate storage device. In other words, the actual personality is running on the built-in storage in her head while also constantly updating the data stored on the floppy.

Also, someone in the know will have to clarify whether it's just a series of errors or some weird lore - because the release dates for UK is wildly different on different language pages of wikipedia. English lists it at 01/05/68, the Japanese page lists it as 10/05/68, while the Chinese page lists it as 15/05/68

The director himself said that the brain and pituitary gland need to be intact to still be a human and thus a cyborg.
Actually this also seems to be an inconsistency since Makina is supposed to have her brain intact in her head.

Yeah, she is more of an android, then.
I feel like the author said those things about the brain and all, but he didn't really put that much thought into it, which is why there seems to be some inconsistencies.
Unless her actual brain is stored in a place somewhere, and the memories and information those backups gather are somehow transferred to and from the original brain.

Doing the math, here's the lengths of a movie since each episode was about 3:30 long counting credits
Time of all 12 episodes with credits: 43:15
Plus highway: 46:55
12 without credits besides in the first and last episodes not counting the recap: 39:04
That with highway without credits: 42:14
12 with no credits at all: 37:27
with highway: 40:37

Kurt and Max have military background.

>Q. Where is the human element in Makina and the others?
>A. Well, as long as the brain and pituitary gland are still intact, the person’s human ego is considered to remain, so they’re classified as cyborgs. Makina and similar characters are supposed to have those organs still in their heads, but I was too lazy to put that info in any official materials, which has led to some confusion.

I'll miss the dropkicks so much. I liked the show a lot, honestly i hoped kanata would get to shine more in the finale. He wouldn't be kanata if he did though, so whatever.
Voice acting was great. EN was very hit or miss, especially with a more literal script than normal. Max was my favorite of the JP and EN voice tracks, which I shouldn't be surprised by since he, having mouth flaps to match, could give a more natural performance. Akane's awkwardness was endearing and I want one of her "KANATAAAAs" to be a ringtone. And of course, the gruesome twosome had great banter.

Same. These little shitheads grew on me so much. It's not often we have a series with no bad characters.
We'll have the manga at least, but it's not the same. Print media won't capture their snappy, often chaotic dialogue in the same way, nor the musical action sequences.

Well, he still ended up making a story about income inequalities, the slippery slope of casting all people with criminal records as a weight to society that need to be removed, and the rejection of your own privilege, so I do'nt think they really succeeded in accomplishing that bit.

I think the artist simply messed up. Kanata looks small compared to Akane, thus the artist developed the misconception that he is "just" really small, not realizing that Akane is really tall for a woman.

Makina is 23 years old (earth years) and I think Milky Highway/Subway takes place around the present, so she was either very small or even a baby when they made the backup.
I wouldn't put past her father, a techno magnate, doing this to her daughter.

For that matter, what's going on here as of the end, is Makina just in a coma while her body is totaled and once she's in a fresh one they'll hook the backup disk back up to her brain, or was her brain taken out and now she's pure robot like her dad?

If Makina is a digital-existence, she may as well be chilling in some simulation while they make a new body for her.
Or maybe her father has a standard cyborg type like in (look how similar it is to her fathers'):

Upon rewatching the episode, turns out shewas shot in the chest, not in the head like I was remembering. Her brain's fine, once the body's done they'll reattach the backup disk to her brain and she'll be on her way.
