| Wow... that was quite touching. T.T Was not expecting an Airi centered episode, though. In contrast to Jun's episode, I felt like this one was in a good place, right after a resolution. I guess we still have to solve Subaru's problems before moving to the final arc (supposing that anything Aki and Kai related will be in the final episodes). So that blond person in the OP was Kimijima Kou. Interesting. (EDIT: Not really, but I was interested in it lol) imperlast said: does anyone els rember where he seen that house it was in the extra images of that robit anime that frau showed him Yeah, but isn't it kinda weird that the house was already ruined in the picture? When were those picture posted again, back when Gunvarrel was being made or just recently? Zee530 said: Tavor said: Also, totally forgot about Gun-Pro 2, nice to see there's some progress on dem legs. Oh yeah, this show was suppose to be about building a robot, nice to see everyone has forgotten about it, even the staff themselves. Hum, I don't think that's what the show was/is supposed to be about... |

| My love for Robotics;Notes keeps going up, and up. There are so many facets to this show, and every single one of them is appealing. But still... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN I really hope she comes back! |
| Really amazing episode, but how saddening. 5/5. |
 |
| NO IT GOT LAID BACK AGAIN FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! In all seriousness the episode was good and all, but I just wish it would move on with the plot a bit more |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |

It's a bit of a rant so I'll spoiler tag it. This kind of game combining our real and virtual worlds sounds cool but it needs Google Glasses; when are those coming out again?

And I just saw a picture of Sergei Breen with the Google Glasses the other day. I think they are doing some field testing now. It's probably still several years away from being really awesome, though. But it'll happen eventually. |

| Nice episode! |

| Aah my body and my mind were not ready for Airi's tears. I felt so sad for her T^T I wonder what's going to happen with the 'original' Airi though. |

hpulley said: But it has not been resolved yet, right? This is one thing that puzzles me in this anime.

| I'm wondering how long this show is set to playout really. I didn't mind this ep, but it left me with a crap load of questions, and on the top of those is if Airi will be released from her sleep soon. Oh well spoiler searching time! |
| Airi T.T The "farewell in the snow" part reminded me a bit of Kana, Imouto. So ofc, I bawled like a baby. I really hope we get to see her again, one way or another (Geji-nee doesn't count since she is not really Airi) Also, did someone else notice that one room of Kimijima Kou's house one of the pictures that was hiddin in the final gunvarrel episode? On a side note: thumbs up to Frau for making it snow for Airi. Frau gets more awesome by the minute! |

But this is probably because in the original visual novel Subaru gets a better character development and in the anime they have less time. |

| Am I the only one bothered by the fact that main character didn't give a damn about Airi's death?! I mean, what the hell!... Also: He didn't get the last Kimijima's Report, right? So does this mean that it's lost forever?.. I feel that we getting closer and closer to the Bad End... |

Also, they contemplated this possibility before. Also, big sis is still there, so Airi doesn't seem to be completely gone (and neither is the last report) |

Mayobe said: The next 7 eps will be some more shallow character development and the actual plot will happen as a 5-minute power-point presentation marketed as an OVA and titled, "Final Episode of Gunvarrel". I know, you're thinking, "But who's left for more retarded character dev?" The lady from the shop, the club pres' onee-chan, the teacher and.... It turns out that this whole time Frau has been hiding her 3 pet hamsters from the world and each of them gets an episode of back-story. The last one is just a guy that walked past the camera in an earlier episode. He gets some back-story as well. Holy crap, I laughed SO HARD at that! |

| Hmm, I think the "Silent Weaponry" mentioned in Report no. 6 is the kind of technology that was being used by the antagonists in Chaos;Head. That show was about messing around with the intricacies of reality, the way Steins;Gate was about messing around with the intricacies of time. Whoa, so there was a real Airi, huh. An incurably ill girl put into cryogenic sleep by the actual Kou Kimijima. I'm surprised and disappointed that Kaito decided to just report his incredible find to the police, though. Also, it seems this'll be the last time we'll be seeing the AI Airi. I hope not, but it feels that way. I also hope this is not the last we'll see the real Airi. She's not dead yet, after all. also, HNNNG at those sounds Airi was making when Kaito was tapping her forehead early in to the episode... |
| Just wonder what will happen to Airi now that the police are called to check the place where she was put in cryogenic sleep. Also the Steins;Gate reference came quite out of the blue. Looks a bit awkward to me. |

Barion-Zara said: Airi was really cute this episode :D, I wonder if we'll really never see her again??? So are all the reports found now? What nxt? We finally got to see Kimijima and he looks like a cool guy. I hope we see more Flash backs about him. Mabye the virtual one won't show up again, but I expect that we will see the RL Airi later on. |

| Awww what a nice episode with Airi :(. It was great to learn her backstory and that last scene where she got her kiss was just really nice to watch. I am going to miss her cute little self. Here's to hoping that she'll be awaken in her real body later on in the series. |

| Kimijima Kou is far more bishounen than I imagined. |

However, I am assuming "Kamehameha" is a pun on the name of the Hawaiian king, because it isn't written entirely in Katakana. The last "ha" is a Kanji I don't recognize (like if it was just a name it would have been written カメハメハ and not カメハメ波). Just speculating based on my extremely limited knowledge haha. |

Lahis said: I wouldn't bet my money on it but I would love to see that happen.My money's on real Airi waking up with Iru-O Airi's memories. Frau was awesome making snow for Airi, and Airi was incredibly cute this episode, and even if this episode wasn't as good as the alst one, it was still great. |
Currently watching everything that comes out to avoid missing something good... |
| Was an okay episode. I still have no damn idea what the hell is going on overall though even though it's 15 episodes deep. I've never been so clueless since LAIN. |
| Fear is the mind killer. |
| The report really impressed me so I wrote it down again: Eventually the method of using the media to spread lies became outdated. In the 21st Century, propaganda means extending fantasies into reality, and thus carving it right into the people’s hearts. Carefully and silently, they cause people’s awareness of reality to deteriorate. The Committee of 300 calls this their “Silent Weaponry.” Within a few decades, war as we know it with launching missiles and riding tanks will cease to exist. Nuclear Arms will only belong in museums. War will begin in secret without witness. People will be slaughtered like cattle without anyone noticing. And it will be over before anyone realizes it. They quietly invade people’s minds, spoil and defile them. Slowly killing them. That is the true purpose of the Silent Weaponry, and it has already reached the point where controlling people’s will is easier. It is beyond what one could call “mere propaganda.” It is something fearful that robs people of their dignity without hesitation. They can make people see things that don’t even exist, The American Victor Condria University. My conclusion is that the report itself talks about PROJECT CHAOS HEAD! That machine was very much what it mentions and is the 300 Secret Weapon whom apparently does get stopped in Chaos Head but it still caused quite a lot of shit. IRL this is possible with Nano tech. It’s now known that there are cloaks that make human invisible and you can’t detect them with infrared or anything that is not counter produced by the maker of them. In other words you can’t do this to them but they can see you cause they invented the cloak and know its weakness. It’s believed that Germans did this as of now. Other than that there are rumours that small bugs that you can’t see with the eye can inject you something that kills you instantly. It’s that advanced really. It truly is telling a shocking truth that may or not exist in the future. This report scares the shit out of me with all the conspiracies I know and how this can make sense towards them. Just replace 300 with Illuminati and Masons. It’s that easy really. But yeah them and other possibilities are scary indeed of what this report can refer to. The creator of Robotics Notes knows lots about them most likely as they were already referenced. About Airi, I will just post the following,  And resume that no words can describe the JOY! HAPPINESS! TEARS OF MANHOOD! YELLING OF GLORY! AND MOST OF ALL SATISFACTION! Best episode of Airi and #1 now for me. Frau is #2. I was quite sad with her illness. They always affect me a lot cause I was sick like Airi young and mine was death threatening so I understand Airi perfectly well. The joys of being one with a character in mind sets. That being said her whole story was quite touching and KOU! Such a gentlemen and good looking fellow. I have utmost respect for him and his work. So in general the episode was very satisfying! |

| It was to see Airi go, but I wonder if she's gone forever. I think that this will have a happy end. The report was fascinating, but I want more of that serious stuff and fast. 15 episodes in and nothing truly serious has happened yet. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
MasterMeNL said: She will most likely go out from the hospital. I assume the Airi in ED1 we were seeing was the human version one and not AI.It was to see Airi go, but I wonder if she's gone forever. I think that this will have a happy end. Thus foreshadow she should come out alive and well from the hospital. Also remember that it's over 15 years since that time so most likely MEDs are advanced more than before. She will be back. It will be awesome when it happens. |
| It's a real shame that robo-apocalypse was only going on in one city. Ahh, still, those robots look like the ones from 80 movies, maybe it's better not to have a robo-apocalypse with child-like looking robots... |
| Airi is real. Interesting |
| Next ep: Yoshio kissing karate girl Next next ep: Yoshio kissing Aki Next next next ep: Yoshio kissing Mr. Pleia... eeerh :)) But Frau x Yashio should definitely get more screen-time :) |
| Kaito harem tbh but Aki and Kai still the otp here D: I really shouldn't be surprised considering s;g was like this too with okabe lol. I guess since yeah, it was a visual novel and all the possible romantic plotlines... even with an AR... Also was expecting Kimijima to look a lot older lol. Well, he'd probably be older present-time but still unexpected. At least now we know the true origins of Airi. I wonder what the police did with the body though /: |
