| The three otaku are weird, but funny. The cliffhanger was lame, and the one boys likes S&M. |
| My anime list |
| this show feels like its going nowhere, i'll continue for a few more eps to see if ti will be dropped or not |
 |
| Wow, they really tossed in a lot about that carbon market thing in this episode, I'm more confused than I was when I first started watching this and that Mikuni kid is still as creepy as ever. Overall, the episode was alright I guess.. not as bad as the last but not really good either. Only real thing that stuck to my mind was Kuniko's measurements lol! |
"It's because you exist.. That I'm here right now.."  |
| is kusanagi (the soldier guy) in this episode? oh I wanna watch this soon. *waits time before she'll be able to go home* |
| We Heal As One. |
| the last scene makes me wonder's is he kusanagi?? because the hair color look same =_= overall i like this EP momoko new looks also nice 8D waiting for the next >>>> |
| Plot development episode. Some of the stuff was kinda iffy (like the three otaku). |

suzuka_pew said: the last scene makes me wonder's is he kusanagi?? because the hair color look same =_= just saw the ep, and it really seems to be him, now I base it on face (and hair color as well) or maybe I'm jsut being wishful for some Kinuko and Kusanagi bickering. Wahahahaha! |
| We Heal As One. |
| Good episode liked it a lot. What I liked: Kunoki's eyes had something in them at beginning. So kawaiiiiiiiii! (cute) seeing Miiko and Mikuni so caring together, so cute is all I can say other than feeling the MOE like other of otaku friends (wondering if it has anything to do with Miiko being with Momoko and smell.....noticed that Mikuni can detect more than other humans). Was very surprised that Momoko and Mikuni can be related with only earing. Medusa and Karen having problems proves human imperfection again. Shion and Ryouko...wonder where he touched her and if she wanted him to or just was disgusted he dared not do it because some reasons. (anyone think Shion got send to Mikuni so he tells her truth of what he thinks of Ryouko???). Starting to like the whole concept of Klaris/Karen communications. Akihabara in future.....nice but sad is not like Akihabara now because find it fine the way is now. Enjoyed all of the shop part with those three guys in cosplay. Wonder why Karen find Kuniko special other than her making some interference at some point. What I did not like: Loved this moment. I WANT TO HOLD MIKUNI! Don't care if she kill me because made mistake. Want to hold her so much.  Irasshai....Akihabara 20xx. Like the one now in Japan better. Wonder where Shion touched Ryouko so she tell him not there??? Earing is nice but reminds a lot of....http://myanimelist.net/anime/998/Blue_Seed anyone else think so? (Notice: if they make cosplay item of this....would be so nice!) Ok will try this....left is guy who cosplay Miku, pirate hat guy is trying to be Albator and left guy is coplaying someone from Higurashi. Right or wrong? |
| that 2 colours-eyed girl is scary |

| Great episode it looks like the anime will finally get better, but seriously who is that guy at the very end? japanme32 said: Ok will try this....left is guy who cosplay Miku, pirate hat guy is trying to be Albator and left guy is coplaying someone from Higurashi. Right or wrong? i can confirm the Miku and Albator but not sure about the guy on the right XD btw if u look at those rectangular pictures behind hte guy on the right some of them repeat XD Gonzo got lazy <_< |
| Ok this was a good episode but that pirate loli otaku guy was a tad bit annoying with his sound effects. The otaku guy on the right, I swear he's the guy who voiced Madarame from Genshiken, anyone else think so? |
| so i wonder who else is controlling the market, from the sounds of it it takes some sophisticated stuff; anyways, correct me if i'm wrong they ran into that soldier from the forest didn't they? |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| finally I can relate now! |
| PM me and let's be friends. |
| haha akihabara no oji-santachi so the world was destroyed for an earthquake and then the world started the carbon marketing rigth? well i surely didnt expected akihabara to exist there...or the fact that a trasvestille is the mother of a superpowerfull miko XD this is going even more interesting with that glasses guy....maybie love? |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| getting exciting xD cant wait for the next episode~ |
     |
| The first half was very uninteresting but on the other hand, the second half was great with a lot of background scenario mixed with the Otaku talk and some developments too. Strange episode structure though and we still don't really know what the series will talk about. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Not so happy with this episode. Ryoko continues to be disgusting, and those three otaku old men were really, really grating on the nerves (and not funny at all). Oh, yes, and Kuniko goes on yet another impromptu "adventure" of dangerous proportions, making me wonder once again if metal-age has been able to get anything done with such lack of planning (well, maybe they were better when Kuniko was incarcerated ... hmm, we haven't heard anything more about that topic, have we?) I know, I know, if I don't like it, I don't have to watch it. I'm still hoping that it'll improve, because it does have potential. On the bright side for this episode, it was interesting to see Akihabara (I love Akiba ...) and the revelation that Mikuni and Momoko (who looked ridiculous in this episode's outfit) are somehow related was interesting (if implausible). I hope we get some Kusanagi next episode. |

| finally. i understand (kinda) whats going on. the story line in the first eps. was so all over i didnt know what was happening. this ep. was decent. i think the whole anime is decent but i'm still watching it. |
 |
| I'm having a very difficult time understanding what's going on (or at least I think I do) so I'll post what I do know, and maybe some things can get cleared up for me. -We have 5 factions: Metal Age, Princess, Sadist Woman, Price fixers, organization that the guy at the end of the episode works for -Metal age is pretty much a guerrilla resistance that actually has no real function except that of Robin Hood -Kuniko was in detintion for seemingly no reason -I'm guessing that the organization that the guy at the end of the episode works for is apart of the people who have copied Medusa -Environment is terrible -People try to get on Atlas So exactly how is all of this connected? What's the deal with the daggers and earrings? Are princess and bodyguard siblings? Father(Mother) and daughter? I'm just not really seeing the overall plot unless it's something as simple as an all out war between all of the factions. |
| I don't like this show still, it introduced all these ideas at start and still have barely developed any of them. At the same time is doesen't feel like the show is heading in a certain direction. It's pretty much just a big mess. I still hate pretty much all the characters, there's nothing to really like about any of them. I think i am pretty much watching this out of pure bordem now. Will see how it keeps going, probably will drop in near future. |
| Oh god. Shit anime, really is. If it doesn't get better soon I have to drop it. |
| So far I am really enjoying the show, dunno why there is so much hate, is it just because it's Gonzo? |
 |
Soulstrider said: So far I am really enjoying the show, dunno why there is so much hate, is it just because it's Gonzo? in my opinion cause it's a bad anime :/ |
| I liked the episode, a little too much with the Tranny jokes but oh well. |
 |
| I think the tranny jokes are the only thing this show has going for it comedy wise. |
| If you notice it a little you will see the reason of each episode being shown. Each episode is introduced something and let you explore something rather than making you sit down for one whole episode just to listen to a boring explanation like many other shows did *cough* Index *cough* Episode one: Duomo Episode two: Ikebukuro (lifeless-jungle) Episode three: Altas Episode four: Akiharbra Nothing is really developed or explained but everything start to make sense little by little with what they have offered us from each episode. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Another interesting episode. These guys cracked me up  The uniform of the left guy reminds me of Captain Nemo from Nadia. |

I don't really think so. We only really have a sense of these places specifically, but not so much about how they relate to each other in the world as a whole...except that Atlas takes people from all over. |
| An episode i liked very much ! Really interesting ! The three otaku were weird but it was funny ! XD At the end ... Kusanagi ? Oô ... |

noteDhero said: I don't really think so.

I don't deny you point here because it is the fact. But everything is starting to move into one point. And in this episode they did actually explain the reason why Kuniko couldn't pass through the security system back in the Altas. It wasn't the fake card didn't work, it was her that the system couldn't recognize it. There are still a few things that has been explained in this episode. The only thing that is still missing is the direction of where they are going. But this is still better than what I have seen in Noein series. |
"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Oh, wow, they said the system couldn't recognize Kuniko?? I must have been mystified by the sound effects to catch that. But isn't that weird since she was at a detention center, I assume, supported by Atlas? But then I don't understand this whole system anyways, so I guess it's only important in showing that Kuniko is special. I still greatly appreciate a lot of what the show is doing, and do see that it's going somewhere, but I suppose when I don't clearly see why (when the show isn't a mystery or a thriller), it just makes me frustrated. |

| i like the weirdness of this anime.. and since i don't know anything about it, i'm waiting to see what will happen to all these guys |
 |
| um okay i think i'm a little less confused... maybe? |

| I enjoyed this episode a lot!!! Did you noticed the Old Man Camera when he shouted: "A REAL LIFE GIRL with school uniform!!!!!" |
 |
| Dat plot development |
 |
| A pretty funny episode actually and well that ending sure was interesting, someone she knows? |
 |
| Every episode should have Momoko in it. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| the three men were pretty hilarious. |
 |
| Apparently this episode credits Shinji Higuchi for some of the storyboards, now that's unexpected. |
| So this whole post end of the world is tied to a carbon market, which has a fake market on top of it.... and also akibahara. |
