| dam cliffhanger now i need to wait grr |
hoshiusagi said: <snip a bunch of questions> I think you should re-watch the series. You mean I'll 'find' all the answers I 'missed'- like in last episode how mechanical legs are telekinetic & why people just give up and die-- no- fight to die- just to further the plot? I'm pretty sure that answer isn't there. hoshiusagi said: Ooh look- a news report about the Kajima reports. Weren't there concerns & warnings? That's it. No biggie. 'cause And? Talk about things already happen and guess about things that gonna happen. Tons of story come out everyday like that. Nothing come in yet, what are you expecting? The fact it got on the news already big enough, pzz. In this episode literally everyone (but one boy) hates Gunvarrel because of... (wait- what supposedly good reason did they have to all hate the entire series all the sudden?) whatever- apparently, literally no one asks questions about the reports (or at least we don't need to know that yet). The news posts a puff piece about 'a thing that happened'- whatever- network news sucks anyway, so fine- but a lot of time passes- no one says 'Hmm- this kinda matches up with shit that is going on?' I suppose that isn't even the point- the STORY has had Kai getting all these things like they were important (at least to Kajima & Frau), then the STORY shows that apparently, 'Nah, j/k- maybe later-- this isn't DBZ, mate.' hoshiusagi said: Tiny followup on Airi - she apparently should know the weather- 'cause Yo, because she doesn't match with what AiriAI said before. An AI shouldn't know how to lie, yes? So what happening here? Is he really the first one to visit her?Just saying 'Why would he think that?- Is he really suddenly that stupid? He was the 'puzzle master' till now'- and except by way of 'inappropriate exposition', why tell cold fish Misaki about Airi? (who still has an incurable disease or whatever, right?) Like Misaki has a clue or could give a damn about anything except her work and ignoring & insulting her sister. hoshiusagi said: Run away- try to outrun a bullet & abandon kids to a gunman... 'cause Why not? He isn't a mass murderer and He is aiming for her anyway, leaving Aki and Kai there won't be a problem. She already show her heartless side to him (or pretent to) so there will be a very low chance for him to take hostage. And why she run away? Well... cause the character has something to do?They aren't ignore it, they just answer it in halfass-like manner. IMO, of course. I'm not saying she should 'do something else'- but she is (according to the STORY) aware of/probably a part of 'The conspiracy'- that her organization should be so unprepared and blindsided by this that her only option is to 'run real fast' is pretty lame. Litrydow said: Have you even payed attention to any episode so far? You're funny and helpful. I am impressed by your insight and eloquence. The specific nature of your detailed and point by point painstakingly considerate responses gives me renewed faith in the internet. I actually just threw questions up from 'Magical Girl Deka Deka Puni Pow'. Can you imagine that?- from your answer it's clear why they don't fit here. I'll go watch this series- for this forum which I posted to with this plot and these characters. Thanks- you saved me. For the record I don't hate this series- I love it-- but if you say the last two episodes have made 'perfect sense' well- glad you enjoyed it, but except for 'new stuff happening', they seem to be suddenly ignoring almost everything up to now- that's all I questioned before, PLUS Suburu- written off. Frau's concern about her mom- backburnered. Airi's (the AI) disapperance- Dismised (and Frau was NUTS for Airi) Jun. (backburnered I guess) Moopoles (clear 'dues ex machina'- are they still falling- how did they actually use them? Why does their robot seem to move so sad despite them having 'theoretically' advanced tech? and more... I'm not saying the series should develop on my schedule or answer my concerns- but it gave us a lot to follow, just to drop it and go... 'that a way' (starting with Mizuka's illogical, but clearly story-driven death)- which is fine, but it almost means you should watch starting at episode 17- anything earlier is barely relevant (or so it seems so far). Don't forget- this series is primarily 'presented as' a mystery, (or at least containing several- starting with the events leading up to Kai's- never reappearing ailment (we won't ask about why it didn't kick in to save Mizuka)-- so all these 'clues', and 'events', then _everyone_ goes 'Meh' & does other things. Just saying. There are four episodes left to (in theory) explain a LOT of things- or drop them as unexplained. Which do you see as more likely? |

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'. |
bloggbigg said: 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. I made a similar critic, the backend of the story is just all over the place. The show to this point has only been about cliffhangers to keep the lulz entertained. |
| Good episode w/ a cliffhanger, but this show still doesn't get more then a 7 so far from me. |
 |
| ohh man i dont want to see anyone dying again T_T mizuka is enough!!! i cant wait for next week.. dammit every time i watch this i want to make my day so fast.  |
 |
| Wheeeee it's getting better! Knew it would! |
| I'm pretty sure that guy missed. |
| The sister must have a reason to act this way. She must be doing it to protect Akiho in some way, she must be. Such a cliff hanger, again! |
 |
| A meh episode over-all. And given the reports have been uploaded you'ld think some people would be going APE SHIT. But they arn't. On that same note it does seem to be fallowing the story from the spoilers I have read. |
| Bout time we saw some more Aki interactions. Wonder what Misa knows that is keeping her so cold to her sis and Kai. Of course, another cliffhanger. Let's see what happens next week. |
| A match made in heaven set the fires in hell |
| DAMN!!! What a cliffhanger! Can't wait a whole week!!! |
 |
| WTF!!!! That is the biggest cliff hangar this year so far now I can't wait till 19. I should have held off till episode 20 so I wouldn't have to wait for the next episode. |
 |
| Thank you, Mitchie. I wonder what Misaki did which would lead Sawada to shooting her. |
| So is Misaki the bad guy here?? Anyway, I hope that guy didn't miss the shot and hit Kai or Aki. |

| aki with untied hair and dem shorts HNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG end at the end made me say WHAT THE FUCK. double agent of sorts? |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
lindsayzzz said: 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. <3 100% This! |
 |
| my favorite parts were the aki x kai shippy goodness moments |
 <img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2mw85l2.jpg" /> |
| NOT ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER x_x. |
 |
| Another cliffhanger? Hopefully thing's will speed up a bit. |

| When Sawada finding Misaki in the expo, the sound in the exoskeleton robot seems like Geji-nee sound..maybe Misaki try to use Geji-Nee to stop Sawada evil's plan.... |

| Wow something to keep us o_0 while we wait for next week to come by. |
| "Ogon’ po gotovnosti!" |
| Another great episode! The Kai x Aki moments were great, and I quite like Aki with her hair down! It really goes to show you how much of an effect good entertainment can have on you. I was Awwww during the KaixAki scenes Angry at the kids who insulted Gunvarrel Happy when Aki was introducing the robot Then out of breath at the conclusion. This show has been consecutively awesome! I can't wait to finish it, and the DVD release! |
| As uncool as GunPro-2 looked, it was really cool with its signature moves. Ending was really intense, cliffhanger.. 5/5. |

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 @bastek66 You wouldn't be willing to post that spoiler for some us would you? XD |

KingCez said: aki with untied hair and dem shorts HNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG Finally someone said it, I was beginning to wonder if I had just imagined seeing her with open hair. Really, open hair beats her usual hairdo without question. |

| This may be my mistake but don't anime controversies tend to make that anime more popular? I mean sure there are exceptions like the KC incident but if you heard there was an anime made by murderers then you can bet your ass you are going to watch it. It would be analyzed halfway to hell and people would be claiming it's art. Also, if I threw a bottle and nearly killed someone I don't think I would be trying to walk away acting like I was in the right. I mean I might be a bit horrified by the fact that I almost killed someone for no apparent reason. And that reaction to the robot...Christ. It's like presenting people with the first car ever made and them walking away because the didn't like the color. This writer doesn't seem to have a very good understanding of human nature. |

| This episode was decent, but everything is just lame. I liked seeing Airi again and I wonder what's up with her. The ending with that gunshot was just horribly executed, I laughed when he shot... It was that lame. So far this has been disappointing, hopefully the remaining parts will do better than trying to be serious. |

| Aw man, I really want to know who got shot. |
 |
| The cliffhangers are starting to irritate me, the anime runs solely on them. So far no questions have been answered and even though I know the last four episodes will be absolutely amazing, I can't consider this anime good. While the ending will have a lot of impact (*no pun intended), the mysteries should've been carefully unraveled throughout the series, not just a huge bomb at the end. There's so many pieces scattered all over the place and so many things are just forgotten after being revealed and then suddenly picked up five episodes later. Don't get me wrong, there were episodes that I thoroughly enjoyed, but they were very few. This anime had a lot of potential and it just feels wasted right now. Thank god for a certain blonde that's pretty much saving the show from a bad rating. |
Hito420 said: Intereo said: 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. 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 or -kai got in one of his weird time sort of stopping moods and pushed Misa away from the bullet, saving her for the sake of being able to save at least ONE girl from dying in this show |
| "Odaiba, I'm back!/have returned!" reference to "Solomon, I have returned!" ...Gundam 0083 reference? I was rooting for Kai x Frau, but with Kai and Akiho being childhood friends and all, plus having to share a bed at the beginning of this episode...I'm starting to have second thoughts. And Aki-chan with her hair down, hnnnnnnngggggg! |
| Yet another cliffhanger ending. Which of them got shot is anyone's guess, assuming someone really did get shot. Misaki seems to have been acting on her own agenda for a while, under the noses of her superiors. For some reason, I was expecting Exo Corp.'s SUMERAGI to go wreak havoc during the convention or something. Though it may yet still happen. I mean, it's not going to be introduced and shown to such lengths if it wasn't going to play any sort of role in the story. Chekhov's Gun. I expect Misaki's plans and the real Airi's role to be made clear in these 4 upcoming episodes. The Kimijima Reports have been disseminated all across the globe, but it has yet to have any major effect. Needs something to distinguish it from presumably other conspiracy theories circulating around so more people would pay attention. Also, Akiho with her hair down FTW. |
| I read all the 5 pages but have not seen anyone mentioning a possibility: What if Misaki is just a robot or at most an android? That would explain why she would not turn her head towards Aki and Kai (because it shows her non-human parts). It would also explain her cold attitude (because she may be programmed or conditioned by Exoskeleton) towards Kai and Aki. And her mechanical and nonsensical response to Aki's pleading may also indicate something non-human. Also I have a feeling that Misaki is not a bad person but was cold towards Kai and Aki to protect them. |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

And I agree with you, all she wants is to protect Kai and Aki. |

I'm so hoping it knits together soon. I made a similar critic, the backend of the story is just all over the place. The show to this point has only been about cliffhangers to keep the lulz entertained. Surprisingly, it seems to be working. Maybe they changed writers? hoshiusagi said: Well, I'm pretty sure that you can't find everything there. It's a series, so the most you can get are some clues and hint only. The more hint you get, the more you expecting the ending. If it's a good ending then I can put a nice dot to end this series perfectly, but if it is'nt, well, there will be some 'stuff'' I need to write before that 'dot'. It's as good as the writer wants it to be. hoshiusagi said: bloggbigg said: <...(blah blah) Kajima reports... They questioned it, that's why it come up on the news, just spreading it around won't make it on the news like that, but nothing big really happen lately that have a connection with the report I think. Kai also didn't believe it before too, but the fact that some events happened arcording to the report, one by one, right before his eyes making him wonder about it. But to the Net, it's merely a report, talking about things that already happen and a few guess about what gonna happen next. Yo, the important thing here is: "What gonna happen next" [from the time they got the reports] - come true or not. According to the story, a robot apocalypse is about to happen, with all the evidence being visible to everyone- and 'just spreading it around won't make it on the news like that'? hoshiusagi said: In first few episiodes, AiriAI said that Misaki knows about her (as being friend). She knows about K's report so I'm pretty sure she knows about Airi, at least. He isn't stupid, while talking about that, he also questioning her at the same time too. If I'm in his case, I pretty sure my GF's sister has connections with it. No, She has TOO many connections with this. But that is logical thinking. Above all, she is like his big sister. *sigh* A big sister that snubs her little sister, and tells them nothing, resulting in people dying. Don't forget- she is supposedly working for 'the bad guys' and her behavior has never given them any reason to doubt she's doesn't care. Kai lost a dear friend. She gave him a ride in her fast car & no answers. Specifically no compassion or apology. I really don't care what contrived 'why she couldn't say but she was protecting them after all' bs they're going to come up with (and they will)- it's a cliche and bad attempt to keep the audience guessing. hoshiusagi said: I just have simple thought: She discovered something - Her boss also discovered something, time for plot twist. *giggle* He won't bring a gun if it's something that he can call her back and talk normaly, she also expecting that. They have billion dollar tech there- they're also cooking their own conspiracy, and possibly cheating with their presentation. They should have security. hoshiusagi said: bloggbigg said: <quote to Litrydow> I don't know how to reply to this *giggle*, but I'm glad that I have someone to discuss with. That was addressed to another poster. Anytime though- feel free to message me/suggest anime! hoshiusagi said: About tech, I think the VN did explain some, I'm not sure about that part. The fact that they can use the mono---- already susprise me They are only student with an old doc.. I can't judge the series since it isn't finish yet. I just giving out my opinions, thinking how stuffs gonna happen, etc ~ If they can't make it on the anime, then I'll start to read the VN, if even the VN can't do it: Yo, I regret watching you, -emo corner mode-. P/S: What I have in my mind when I saw the expo was "Oi, I'm pretty sure they goin to go nut or something like that" P/S: I rarely rate any thing, I just think if they worth my time or not. Are the VN translated to English anywhere yet? |
| 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'. |
| Also- if Misaki turns out to be a robot, that just fuels more questions; 1. Why make a misaki-bot at all? 2. Why only make one? 3. You can make human-like robots? that can 'convincingly' replace existing people? Why bother controlling any other robotic crap? Just replace important people. If a cyborg- even 'if' emotion centers were damaged (brain injury?)- it's stupid not to 'fake emotions' (see 'sociopath'). If she was always just a bitch- whatever- no effective difference except Deus Ex Machina to take a gunshot. (I'd say so because if she was a robot- according to the supposed physics of this Anime, she should be heavy and/or need remote power- but they don't have to follow their own rules) So I doubt either, but we'll see. |

| Loved the moments that Aki had with Kai. There needs to be more of this! Ughhh its just heartbreaking to watch the relationship that Aki has with her sister. She just acts way too cold and emotionless whenever Aki comes up. And that convo she had with Kai was just :(. Damn I hate seeing Aki always getting left behind in the dark. But seeing that scene at the end makes me think that maybe she's just trying to protect them or something. Seems like this is her rebellion against that Sawada guy. Gunshot oh crap. |
 |
| >:/ I was so happy when I saw they had a hotel room with only one bed. Unfortunately, no cuddling. *pouts* R;N sure loves these cliffhanger endings. I hope everyone is okay! Especially my cute little Aki. I really wanted to strangle that asshole who threw the bottle at her. |
 What "Adolescence" do you have? Do you remember "Childhood"? The irreplaceable one existed there. |
| Needed more Aki and Kai fanservice, I ship them a lot. I'm really hoping that gunshot did not clip Aki or Kai. Knowing anime it had to have clipped one of them while Misaki was running away. |
