| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh dear, is Kaito having some delusional thoughts of Mizuka? He couldn't save her back then.. Yup, looks like it to me: Overall, a good episode imo and I liked the more interactions between Kaito and Aki this week. I haven't seen that in awhile. The exoskeleton for Sumeragi looks kinda cool imo. Dem robot conventions. I originally thought something was going to go wrong there but seems everything was alright. I loved that cliffhanger at the end this episode. Can't wait to see what's coming next~ |
 |
| SHIP. SO. HARD. CAN'T. I THINK THE KAI X AKI MOMENTS IN THIS EPISODE WERE MY FAVOURITES. Wow this was an interesting episode. I guess Kai still hasn't gotten over Mizuka's death D: He even has nightmares about it. I'm glad Aki's there to support him though. I honestly can't read Misaki. I don't THINK she hates Aki, but then she always acts like it sigh. I guess she's just trying to protect Aki in her own way? Who got shot? (Putting my money on Aki. Or maybe they're trolling and no one really got shot. Or maybe that guy who's shooting got shot. I don't think it's Kai though. And Misaki's already pretty much around the corner so that wouldn't be an easy aim) |
| Misaki looks strange in the last minutes, as if she was a robot. Maybe because she knew she was in danger, so she has decided to be replaced by a robotised version of herself. And now, the world has Ko Kimijima's reports, but it don't have a clue what to do with -__- |
| The turnabout is finally here. Who got shot? =) |
 |
| Damnit I hate cliffhangers like that! Waiting a week is suffering :( |
 |
| I liked the Akiho x Kai moments, those were incredibly sweet. I hope that guy has good enough aim. :P |
| I didn't feel the tension in the gun scene, neither fear. I like the show but it I start to feel that this will be another anti-climatic moment... I hope not. |

I hope not. yeah, was shocked to hear the gunshot myself a little bit, thought hed, i dunno lower the gun an chase after her? so hm.. -shot misa -aki got in the way -kai got in the way or pushed the gun -or someone else showed up at the last second |
 |
| meh not really interested in the sister. she seems like a stuck up bitch anyway. Again, WHEN'S THE WORLD GOING TO END?! |

I like Aki's outfit in the second half! Oh no, cliffhanger again! It turns out that R;N is the series that I'm looking forward the most every week now! |
| dat cliffhanger and so many unasnwered questions... QQ |
 |
| I'm pretty sure he missed, or something got in the way. It'd feel off if Misaki was killed off like that without answering any of Akiho's or Kai's questions. |
| How lame they stayed up playing video games on their tablets all night. I wanted to see them in bed cuddling!! Other then that, I loved the episode. |

UtsukushiiYume said: SHIP. SO. HARD. CAN'T. I THINK THE KAI X AKI MOMENTS IN THIS EPISODE WERE MY FAVOURITES. I love them <3 Even though it seems they will never be more than childhood friends (hopefully I'm wrong), I love their relationship! Man, the cliffhanger from the last episode made it seem like a huge deal...but didn't seem like it in this episode. In fact, there was only one moment that mentioned the reports =_= I mean, Misaki also told Kai to be careful with them, but it didn't wreak havoc or anything since people thought it was a prank. Meh. I should've expected it not be a very big deal because it seems most of the time when thing gets serious in this anime, it reverts back to a lighter mood (not that it's bad). But surely the next will be intense, not in the action kind of way, but in the way that we will learn more about what really happening. I wonder why that guy shot Misaki (or tried to). Who is really the bad guy here? So many questions...so many. I need answers. Nevertheless, it's sad that people don't care about Gun-Pro 2 just because it's Gunvarrel. They put so much effort into the robot, yet people are judgemental against the design...if this was a debate of audience vs. Gun-Pro 2, I would say that the audience committed a logical fallacy of ad hominem. |
| I really can't get where this is going, the narrative feels all over the place, and it seems that lots of questions will be left unanswered. |
| Can't stop grinning at the beginning but WTF at the end. |
 |
| I seriously LOVE how these last few episodes of Robotics;Notes have ended on a serious tone with these cliffhangers. I mean I really enjoyed the episode especially with those Aki x Kai moments and GunPro-2 getting some recognition and is actually quite successful. However, the ending was such a "HOLY SHIT!" moment. Misaki was wearing a powered suit and I was like 'looks like she's going to some more robot demonstration'. Then Toshiyuki appears with a gun and epic music comes on. Got me so fucking hyped. This is why I love Robotics;Notes. Sucks for those who dropped this anime. <3 |

|
| aw man i wish the ending had a bigger impact on me if the gun wasn't focused on Misaki but on Kai and Aki just kinda felt like the 3rd party not having a clue why he was after her lol still looking forward to the outcome But wtf they barely mentioned the Report leakage didn't they |
 |
| Damn cliff hangers!!! Misaki might be working with kimijima, than again I think that is just a robot who gets shot in the end not Misaki, can't take another crazy cliffhanger, we all know there's going to be one every ep. @lindsayzz yep sucks for those people who dropped it love robotics;notes |

It will be a rollercaster till the end from now on. And all questions have an answer, hopefully. Steins;Gate was a roller coaster, but this thing is just all over the place at this point. I was particularly dissapointed at how they handled the whole monopole thing: we have the first one falling from the sky at one episode, and then no one mentions it til' we found out they've been falling from the sky all this time! Also, the almost-no-mention of the report leakage was a little weird. Sure, the story can be thrilling at some moments, but you can't have a good setting/story made just of cliffhangers; you need a good, solid backend, and in that aspect R;N isn't delivering. I really hope, for the sake of this anime, that they found a way to handle the things and give this a good finale, because the characters are really endearing. I still have high hopes for this, even if they have only 4 eps to wrap things up. |
| That was so romantic! The Gunvarrel AR it is... And that escalated quickly. With that gun. Ooh. Just what the heck is about Misaki?? I wanna know. |

Another great episode, glad to see the Robot is back and punching! Genki punch! Made the episode so entertaining! Also Michie for hooking up Aki and Kai in a DOUBLE bed room, and he even calls them to restrain themselves! LOL. The romance between Aki and Kai has somewhat got more close to each other and seeing them being together for this episode is sweet.  Kinda disappointed to see the Koujima Reports didn't get that much attention in this episode though, even though it was broadcast on the news, it doesn't look like Kai has grasped the seriousness of this delicate matter. Well we will probably see more of it in the next episode. Now that Misa and Kai had a chat in the car, Misa seems to have her mind occupied on something else that is really important for her to not spill it out, and her boss seems to have caught up on something that she is working on. Dat cliffhanger we see that the episode ends with a gunshot has happened too often for me, damn it! I hope nobody was hit, or maybe Aki got in the way? Dreadful thoughts! >_> |

And FYI, in the VN they discovered that the monopoles fall from the sky deal to the adjustment of that radio tower. Since then they had gathered monopoles from the same spot everyday. Like S;G, the anime team has cut most of the scientific explanations, almost making the Science ADV Series into the Kids ADV Series. And please don't worry about the finale, because it's where R;N shines. It will surely be a good raid. =) |

I never doubted of the VN's quality though! I'm sure all the details are there... I kind of get why the anime production left the scientific points out, but to ignore almost all the monopole gathering part was really lame in the storytelling department. |
| Ore wa CYBORG. |

| another timeskip duh |
| Wasn't that Misaki secretly piloting the SUMERAGI? If so, I seriously doubt she's going to die before getting back inside that thing. |
| i should get used to these cliffhangers in this series but i just can't *sighs* i didn't really get at the end tho : i thought he was threatening Aki and Kai but he shots that bitchy sis instead? idk Gash_V-D_Hetchum said: So bad. Those guys almost hurt Aki very seriously, could have even caused her death. yes! i was like WTAF :/ |
| Is it just me, or did R;N just stop bothering to make basic sense? Ooh look- a news report about the Kajima reports. Weren't there concerns & warnings? That's it. No biggie. 'cause Get closer to Akiho- agree to stop doing thing alone, kinda. Confront Misaki. Get no answers, but get a ride to get... more 'no answers.' Tell her crap she doesn't need to know, 'cause. Tiny followup on Airi - she apparently should know the weather- 'cause Gunvarrel is now hated by 'ALL the peoples',(except that one kid) 'cause Try to stop Akiho, by not telling her things she should know- 'cause. Misaki- still a bitch. Won't even look at her sister- she at least gave Kaito a ride. Holdup behind the scenes- literally... 'cause? Run away- try to outrun a bullet & abandon kids to a gunman... 'cause Though I wouldn't call this nonsense or random- why tell all these episodes of story to set things up if they're just going to ignore it all at the end? The monople based robot is tiny compared to everything- even the girder bending robot. Didn't we get told about size to power robot limits? What happened with that? All those warnings from Misaki- the reports are out anyway, and now she's the one they want to shoot? Whatever happened to the brain washing/kidnapping/cheating conspiracy? I have no idea where this is going because it's pretty much ignoring most everything it set up so far. I'm so hoping it knits together soon. |
If you aren't watching Zetsuen no Tempest (Civilization Blaster), you should be. Brilliant writing with legit plot twists. Just finished blog entry 'Japanese Authors Take Heed' Series (JATH)! Entry 03: Proactive Villains, Reactionary Heroes'. |

| Haters gonna hate =( |
 |
| Again such a great episode, I thought Mr Weird Hairuct and Misaki were working with eachother, I wonder why he is now pointing a gun at her, I don't think she's dead, injured at most, she looked almost obscured from him as she was running away. |

| That cliffhanger!!! Please don't die Kai and Aki. TwT. |
GateLambda said: JavierR said: GateLambda said: Random question: Do the Light Novels have Romance routes or something? I think we're missing something that made Steins;Gate so sweet (love in the air), but that may be just me. You mean Visual Novels, and I don't believe so. Hehe, yeah. And that's a shame :/ There is romance but it's small part of plot. True end of VN is Kai kissing |
|
| Getting intense each episode! |
| I liked the start, but the rest was just... confusing. The show feels rather disjointed. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Glad to see that the real Airi is alive. And she remembers Kimijima Kou, that's interesting... I don't understand why Kai doesn't ask her for answers, if he really wants to know more about Kimijima... Well, the robot expo part was very entertaining so far. And that cliffhanger at the end! I wonder if Misaki is injured... And what happened to Frau, Subaru and Junna? Yes, they're in Tanegashima, but we'll see them again? |
