Lmaooo Ontan being flustered about that kiss.

I have to say, Asano’s “unique” character designs definitely shined this episode lol. And Ontan… fuck man. Poor Ontan. It’s very, VERY clear that she loves Ooba

But yeah, shits hitting the fan now, with only three episodes left, and FIFTEEN MINUTES TIL THE END OF HUMANITY???? Shits HITTING THE FAN.

15 MINUTES LEFT? HUH?

Okay, a lot to break down here

First, Oran's face right at the start lol

Second, the government abandoned everyone in Tokyo. They know full well that ship is coming down, but apparently it's unnecessary to warn them now. What do they mean they don't have any other options?

That fourth wall break was crazy 0_0 That actually gave me chills LOL It was meant to be a message for Oba, but I think that's so cool how they had the foresight to leave a message for them, knowing his message would be ignored, and they'd send all those people to Earth

Also woah that SHIP girl 😳It's not often thicc girls like her show up in anime lol

And it looks like even SHIP knows what's going on, but instead of warning people and telling them to leave the city they're disbanding? And their assassination attempt wasn't even necessary, someone had already beat them to it. I have to know though, was that Takarada's wife? I'm guessing it was, but that would mean this SHIP "mission" was just to get revenge

Omg the government sucks ass... The prime minister tried to warn them. He knew lying would be bad. He knew people would die if he kept going along with this, and he tried to warn everyone, but he couldn't even do that. He's nothing but a puppet... And if that wasn't enough, and when he wouldn't cooperate anymore, they threw him aside. I hope Ocean crashes or something. The people on that ship deserve it

Also did they shut down the internet or something? They can't see anything that's happening in Tokyo... 😨

Poor Oran 😭

And that last scene... It's so over. Everyone has been warned, but I think its way too late. The streets are flooded with cars, no one can get on the train to leave, and some are even leaving on boats. And apparently that bowl cut dude is going to start a new anarchic society of survivors where the truth isn't censored... This is insane dude. What a cliffhanger too. Only 15 minutes left until the end of humanity...

Edit: I just realized, that girl with the glasses, her family is still in Tokyo... Are they going to make it out in time? And what about Futaba? Didn't she go back to Tokyo?

Fuck man things went from 0-100 in this one. One of the craziest eps yet. Should be the final episode before everything goes to shit. We’ve had 3 months of planning, rumours, conspiracy theories etc and now it all comes down to this.

It’s so interesting that Isoboyean was able to plan so far ahead even in the original timeline and figure that someone might one day peer into it, hopefully Oba can use that info to stop the mutual destruction of humanity and the invaders

It’s CRAZY that even the prime minister got left behind tho, like the Japanese elite and oligarchy didn’t even put the leader of the country on the ship, left him to deal with the literal fallout and wouldn’t even let him tell the country the truth. The one cabinet member saying that he was only popular because of memes basically killed me 😂 . He got my respect because even if it took him forever, he did try to do the right thing.

Oba and Ontan whirlwind romance ends just as quickly as it started. He may just be in someone else’s body, but no one can deny the humanity of Oba and how quickly he’s learnt to genuinely care for Ontan and the others. Hated seeing him leave Ontan like that, but let’s see what he’s got planned

It’s so hard to believe the same Kenichi who was quiet and spouting all this conspiracy stuff on a date is now proclaiming himself God emperor of the new Japan society. That was an insane ending, RIP Miura as well man. Can’t wait for next ep

@Marinate1016 That face was so cute lol but it makes it all more sad. Oba is definitely not coming back from the mothership. At least they had one more fun day together :'(

@alpo42ab dude that sucked. In the end he ended up being used as nothing but a tool, exactly what he didn't want if I remember correctly. And yeah, easily top 10 for this year so far. This year has felt pretty underwhelming though. Like I'm not sure if I even have enough shows to put in a top 10 list for this year.

@SamBlack yes, I am so happy they adapted that scene well, one of the best in the manga, Ogino in one chapter proved to be one of my favourite minor characters, he might be greedy but he truly cares for his people, he is a fool, but a good hearted fool is better than a selfish and arrogant smart person

Mura is a tragic character, truth is important and the story says it more than once, but even more important is the freedom to pursue the truth and freedom in general, losing it means the truth is worthless

SHIP proved to be just as selfish as anyone else, they never truly cared as an organisation for the invaders (I'll argue Futaba didn't care too, she just want to feel like she is righteous, look at how the moment she feels she is in the right isn't when she sees dead invaders, but when she sees a SHIP protest, she doesn't care for justice, she cares about being validated as a just person), almost everyone is there for selfish reasons and drops ship (pun intended) when they have no longer use for it

Ontan's attempt to stop Oba is heartbreaking, she doesn't want Kadode's incident to happen too or that he'll die like Kiho, is she selfish? Yes, can I blame her? Yes but I can't bring myself to it, she lost so much and just want her normal and happy days to continue, in sharp contrast to Kenichi

But the bigger contrast to Kenichi is Isobeyan and Oba, Kenichi sees the evil of the higher ups and wants to destroy everything because of hatred and revenge, and uses his knowledge to gain power, Oba knows the bad but also sees the good, he believes that although the world sucks humans and invaders are good

It's clearly the anime of the season. Kenichi gave me chills in this episode, his evolution since his first appearance is astonishing.

@StateofOhayo That's one way to put it lol I got chills at the end with the ship coming down and everything starting to hit the fan, and then the message saying "15 minutes until the end of humanity." It's so good!

It just sucks that this episode went by so fast. Waited a whole week for the next episode and I swear it felt like the episode lasted 5 minutes

Not a fake out. He realized the hopelessness of the world and took a safe and easy way out. He was one of the smart ones tbh.

É chocante quando você descobre que aquela linha do tempo onde Kadode morre realmente aconteceu
Aquele "aparelho" de leitura de memórias é bem assustador, a essa altura Kenichi já sabe de tudo sobre os invasores, visto que aparentemente ele leu a mente deles
Por um momento achei que Isobeyan estava falando conosco LOL

What a shame, the Prime Minister's guilt building up over time finally culminates in him trying to take accountability but to no avail. He seemed like an earnest man who wanted to do good for his country, but his naivity and lack of a backbone throughout the series made it far too late for his actions to have any meaning. Good on him though for when to quit in such a corrupt system, but his inability to stand his ground is definitely part of the problem.

"There are only normal people and arrogant bastards" goes unbelievably hard though LMAO




WE'RE DOWN TO 15 MINUTES?!

This week's ep was crazy good, and scarily realistic (with the whole government keeping people in the dark fiasco and only evacuating the "important" people). Kohiruimaki might be an extremist but man can he get stuff done.

I just had an idea. It probably won't happen, but could you imagine exactly 15 minutes into the next episode, the ship crashes and explodes or whatever. I mean come on, that ship is coming down. There's no way Oba is saving it in time, as much as that sucks. It could happen though I doubt it. I think they'll save the ship crashing and exploding until the end of the episode, but we'll see.

I'm so anxious! I NEED that next episode!

@Shinipt I haven't watched it yet, I will just wait to finish the anime before I watch episode 0.

If a manga reader tells me that it's safe to watch it now then I'll do it.

Yeah Oba's going to stop the mothership, if he'll succeed or not is something to see but his character was leading to this the entire season. Oran and Kadode set everything in motion and we are finally gonna see how it'll play out. The new finally broke out to normal people and the prime minister did something good for once or wanted to but in the end he couldn't. The reporter shot himself or was he stopped since the screen blacked out there. Anyway the world is ending and I'm still waiting to see that piece of shit get what he deserves for killing those poor aliens.

Another okay episode in an anime that opened up with great potential. Difficult to care about a story where a main character with the ability to stop the great disaster waits a few days before he moves into action. Why? For no reason whatsoever.

The author uses the excuse of 'alien life' to cover all types of irrational behavior, even though his aliens are supposed to be hyper intelligent. Oh now he only has 15 minutes before disaster? Uh, why should I care anymore?

In any case, I will watch this anime until the end even if just to see the wreck caused by a gradual derailment of a high speed train.

How did the prime minister end up being one of the coolest characters? And Kiho's ex becoming such an insanely influential character. I'm very impressed with how some of these seemingly innocuous characters end up being used. And really sad to see the journalist dude go wtf :(
