AiCon said: The radiation is probably not that bad if those people could live 20+ years in Tokyo. Even with radiation suits - that's still a really long time to spend in a radioactive wasteland. If you mean it ain't that bad inside closed structures and underground facilities, sure. They still need to have suits on when just taking a walk outside. If you spend most of your life indoors, chances are you'll be fine, compared to just wandering the wasteland and taking in all the radiation. With regular supply delivery, people don't need to stay out, therefore reducing long-term exposure to radiation. In real life, without proper living quarters and suits, they'd be lucky to survive the first year. |
| What a complete trainwreck. The premise of the story is intriguing but it is so poorly executed what do we do go around and help every person oooooo EXCITING. i really want to like it but hell the story doesnt seem to be going anywhere. And what is with the unnecessary over the top emotion not sure there thinking behind that putting that garbage in. |
 |
| Yes, yes, that was way too much crying. |
| It's been quite fine, just a bit of over-the-top melodrama. Just asking, where is exactly is this anime headed at? Does it go from arc to arc like KamiNai, or is there a purpose later on like long running shonen? |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| "He just took his mask off! He now has exactly ten minutes!" I like this show, but that whole section was pure nonsense. There's no way that they'd know the radiation would kill him in just ten minutes, not to mention the fact that him not putting the mask on would expose him to even more radiation. It's also already been established that the Aether drug can't help people who have been exposed to a certain amount of radiation, so him not having the mask on would have made things much worse. |
| It's like the only way this anime has shows you it's serious is by making everyone baw their eyes out. I'm sure these girls would have at least hardened a little over time. It seems to be running on every episode/mini-arc ending up as a rescue mission. A visible antagonist (as seen in the OP) would have done wonders by now. Dropped until I hear it gets better. |

Lyrisia said: Hmm the 2 other girls are kind of useless... and Ibara seems overemotional ^^' Dropped This. I get so pissed of because this show has such potential :'( (yes that was a real tear, not one of those overdramatical ones made by Ibara-sempai) The art is fantastic and the OP and ED are so catchy and beautiful in a very dark/sad way. |
| The B-2 stealth bomber part was kind of unrealistic, but then again what can you expect with this setting I didn't like the over drama though The cesspool waste dump is still a problem of today |
| Forced drama as shit. Ok, in the previous episodes someone died and there was at least some reason to cry. And after the professor was injected with another dosage of that shit, he didn't even bother to put on the mask. No problem the air is clean and who the fuck cares about the radiation anyway -_- |
 |
| This tittle has nothing going for it except for the nice visuals. The forced drama is very annoying and the characters are starting to look quite bland. Not to mention we're about to move to even more SoL with that list they got now. It looks the only way to enjoy this a little is to turn off your brain and look at the scenery. |
| So much melodrama! Like some of the art and music, but overall it's becoming quite meh. |
| The OP is definitely the best thing about this show :/ |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| It was a pretty good episode, save for the fact that the girls started bawling their eyes out at the scene where they realised what the stealth jet bomber was doing. I was really bewildered by that scene. The professor scene at the end was quite touching though. I think I'm going to watch this to the end now. Was a major step-up from mediocre first three episodes. |

Did they changed a few scenes? characterization? script?? Because i like the setting very much, and if the manga is actually that good, i'm thinking of switch to manga :) |
| The evil antagonist Yellow Cake... his right hand man Dark Teapot, the five-member elite cakedefenseforce squadron who swore undying loyalty to him, and this show could be twice as funny. |
 |
| Ibara is such a cry-baby. I didn't really mind this time, but it still felt unnecessary. Next episode looked very interesting though. |

| Well pretty much an Okay episode imo. The B-2 Bomber chase scene with the animation of it was good, and the countdown timer was pretty intense to heal the professor. Well the problem is that the 3 MC kept on crying throughout the episode, the 2 other girls were kind of useless, and how can the supporting characters survived that long when they are still outside... Also for the story, kind of going downhill now, so I expect something much more in later episodes. |
| B-2 bomber was tooken down. Highly radioactive waste (barrels) in river?The stealth bomber was the one dropping them.Yellow Cake?Hmm,wonder if the 2 other Coppelion are related to this somehow? Professor Shiba goes to a shrine and takes his mask off cause he wants to atone for his sins.He nearly died,but was saved by Ibara.Countdown made the scene seem more intense.Also dat catch,Ibara with dat Aomine flexibility. Crying.More crying.Usually don't noticed force drama but did this episode. Vice-Principle forgives the Professor. "I think those girls...could be more human than we are." Really pushing this doll thing of them not being human but still being human. |
| Not bad, but neither good. I just want to see the white-haired guy from the opening, he looks quite interesting. |
 |
| i'm gonna go out on a limb and say, episode 6 will have unecessary crying...and then episode 8 too until the end of this. its crying every two episodes aye! i'll be a trooper and stick through with this. oh me and my philosophy of finishing something once started |
| I'm surprised at all the hate, I'm having a blast with this series. Hana Kana is putting in some serious overtime this season. I think she's in at least 10 shows from this season alone. |

Because i like the setting very much, and if the manga is actually that good, i'm thinking of switch to manga :) The events are pretty much the same, the staff actually did a good job following the flow of the manga. The same could not be said with execution and exposition. They cut out so many stuff that certain scenes in the anime makes you go "wait what? WTF? Why?!" Like - - - Some of the cheesy lines and the crying definitely feels forced but I wonder if the Japanese audience feels the same. You think they're more forgiving because they can relate? |

| Emo, its just too Emo, unjustified crying and shouting all the time.. meh, will give 1 more ep a go but probably gonna drop it.. PS. No comments about bomber, that was soooo realistic. |
| Everyone is safe for now. Great episode!!! |

Duma said: Emo, its just too Emo, unjustified crying and shouting all the time.. meh, will give 1 more ep a go but probably gonna drop it.. PS. No comments about bomber, that was soooo realistic. Yup. While I agree with some ppl that there was a fair amount of suspense and thrill in this episode, I couldn't take Ibara's tears seriously anymore. We already knew that she hates people dying in front of her eyes from episode 1, but the anime kept repeating the same situation over and over, and usually ends with Ibara crying because she's relieved... wtf. The end was especially cheesy, with the quote that took the cake for being the most awkward and cheesiest line: "I don't really understand such difficult things, but there is one thing I do understand. That is... that the sky is beautiful again today!!" *cringes* |
| Great episode. There sure is a lot crying in this show, but I guess I can understand that they are trying to save everyone. |

| it was okay episode 3/5, i love the op though, i think next episode would be alot better, guessing from the preview |
| what's with this show and it's barrage of unnecessary and over-the-top drama? that action scene in the beginning was ridiculous to say the least and not in a good way.. sigh.. it COULD have been good, I thought it was the most promising anime this season after watching the first episode. Now it has turned out to be one of the worst -____- |

tingy said: Kerozinn said: that aside..this is another overdramatical and overemotional episode which annoys me greatly cause half the time someone is yelling at someone. also the girl who yells "ibara senpai" every 10 seconds still is useless as fuck. Honestly I don't mind characters crying but wow Ibara cries a lot, I guess she's just overly emotional about everything. And when she cried, the other two start crying with her. Lol at Ibara's tears at the end, couldn't they have animated that better? Well the action was still quite nice, though they could improve on their animation...the characters don't look as good as the backgrounds. And yeah Aoi seems pretty useless so far. I hate that so freaking much. The characters are just ... Why do they have to cry about everything ? -_- |

I wouldn't know. Maybe some are probably. |
| There's too much over the top melodrama and bad pacing for me to enjoy this. Just shoddy directing really. It's a shame because I like the premise and the art and recognize the effort that goes into those backgrounds. I'll wait until it ends to see if it's worth picking up again. |

Irenesharda said: If B2 bombers are pretty much exclusive to the United States with only 21 having been produced, how the heck did a "back-end" Japanese company called Yellow Cake get a hold of one anyway. I would understand if they were trying to implicate the US, but it was a Japanese company turned dumpers-for-hire, that were doing this. So yeah, where did they get the bomber, and how the heck did the US not notice one was missing?! Every year the USAF loses at least one plane in an accident. If we go into conspiracy theory territory, a plane could be reported as "lost in a crash in the ocean" so no recovery or satellite photos of the crash are possible and instead deliver it for top dollar$. So far nobody has mentioned that the B2 is NOT a cargo airplane, there is space for the pilots, the bombs and that's it. The same mistake I continue to see in the x-men comics everytime they use their blackbird plane >_< |

| the writing and dialogue are getting worse and worse |
| Glad they saved the professor. |
| Speaking of forced drama I really couldn't help myself but I laughed pretty hard during that crying scene when they saved the professor. Pathos is good but they should try and not overuse it. And they still thinks are on school trip, this is hopeless. (also, new quest - now they have something to do till the end of this series, hm) pakoko said: The end was especially cheesy, with the quote that took the cake for being the most awkward and cheesiest line: "I don't really understand such difficult things, but there is one thing I do understand. That is... that the sky is beautiful again today!!" *cringes* Yeah, after he said his sorry for putting them into world like this. That was... you know, I really don't understand such difficult sentences but this one... I had to laugh out loud for too long :)) |

| Fell asleep halfway through. Was pretty boring, too much crying (even when they're not real humans) and I'm not interested in the characters. Will still continue this tho. |
| Not very good, and deservedly disliked. 4000th forum post!!!!!!! |

| I was going to come here and complain about the B-2 Bomber and them crying over everything but I see that it's already been covered. I'm glad that everyone seemed to beat me to pointing out the bull in this anime, now I don't have to :D EDIT: Anybody else notice that the bomber-turned-fighter fired two missiles but there were three explosions? |
 |
| I feel... little emotional scene there LOL |
 |
| So many sad scenes so why did I find myself lol'ing at those scenes, so overdramatic. |
