The show looks good so far

The style of drawing is really attractive

and yes, Aoi does seem to just be chipping in here and there every once in a while but at least she made use of herself in the scene where she suggested the idea about using that huge bazooka-like gun on the car!

5/5 for this anime just for the sake of its nice illustrations, and flow

and forced drama... i'm actually getting used to it now XD haha

Oh wow. As someone who works with Nuclear Power, I'd like to nominate this for best comedy of the season. Had me in stitches all the way through :D

Normally I would drop it here, but I feel compelled to keep going just to laugh at it.

I'm guessing by the end of this series, Ibara will have cried more times than the entirety of the Clannad fanbase. Think I'm drudging through this in hopes of seeing those girls in the OP, that smiling psychotic one still has me interested but if she cries too so help me god...

A person in denail of how bad the show really is. This show is not worth 5/5 at all, not even close. 3/5 MAX, and that is because of the godlike OP and ED.

I rarely drop series intentionally, it's usually naturally due to time constraints and episodes piling up and no time to clear backlog etc. , but this one is so close to getting dropped now...

People have already mentioned the military side, the crying and the ridiculous 10 minute limit (he could as well had 10 minutes plus/minus 1 minute and be dead instead). Logic and common sense doesn't really seem to the be strong point of this adaption.

STOP CRYING. JUST STOP IT, FOR FUCK'S SAKE. THE MELODRAMA IS JUST RETARDED, IT'S NOT EMOTIONAL.
The themes are illogical (LET'S TALK ABOUT GREED NOW, BECAUSE THAT'S DEEP. AND LET'S NOT FORGET MAYBE YOU'RE JUST DOLLS BECAUSE YOUR GENES WERE ARTIFICIALLY SELECTED.), the dialogues are just so fucking dumb (I don't understand that deep stuff, but I know the sky is beautiful, herp derp).

"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.


Actually, it was mentioned in the beginning that the Aether they were given is preventative. It only protects you for 10 minutes after being exposed to the contaminants, which is why she asked how long he had the mask off. Exposing him to more radiation while the drug is in effect is apparently null, because they were worried about the contaminants breaching the medicine's barrier after the 10 minutes.

The medicine is only ineffective for people who were exposed before taking the medicine, not for people who have taken it, and been exposed within the 10 minutes.

This show is really badly acted, waaaay overdramatic over silly things and completely random.
I swear, when the timer appeared on the screen I bursted out laughing like an idiot. I just couldn't believe they actually did that.

Very detailed depiction of the geography and the landmark of the suburb town of Fuchuu near Tokyo. The prison (where the doctor was based), the shrine, the tree-lined boulevard leading to the shrine, the racetrack, the part and art museum, the SDF base next to the park... They are all within one mile or so of each other. I can even plot the route of the jeep on a Fuchuu map!
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.

"The sky is beautiful today!"
So Ibara noticed the nice backgrounds being the only good thing in this trash anime, eh?
But she fails to realize that "I let people die" and "I killed people" are two different things.
And I so hate that useless third girl. She's so.....useless.

And I have no words for this "belly = blindspot" bullshit. This is NOT how a B2 works. Is the author deliberately trying to be an idiot or something?

Aww man, getting this worked up about all this nonsense.
This show is so damn bad.

This show had so much potential. The premise was awesome and the art was great. But poor story progression, forced melodrama, lack of direction, weak character development, broken physics, and crappy world building combined with not enough research done on real life objects (bombers and missiles) has utterly ruined this show.

I had high hopes this show would go somewhere and I'm very disappointed. The only reason I'm going to keep watching this is for the art, OP and ED.

The countdown was intense? Really, guys? Lmfao I was thinking that it was obvious that he would survive, and even if he doesn't, it doesn't matter anyway, because it seems like everyone in this show wanted to die, the dad in the previous episode, and this professor dude. Dying is not a way to redeem yourself, someone as 'smart' as yourself should know that better than anyone else.

I'll give it another episode before I decide to drop it or not. It's been crappy since the first episode.

If you felt responsible about someone's death in real life you would cry, and if you had just barely managed to save someone, you'd probably get emotional about that as well, at least I know I would.
I, for one, is seriously tired of all unrealistically stoic main characters you see in anime today.

Saved 100 people, cried 100 times.
Caused 100 people to die, cried 100 times.
Welp that's 200 times worth of crying.

In any case, they've been in these kind of environment for at least 10 years, after 10 years, still crying.. Well? Oh and, how is 10x eyesight and 10x physical ability in any way realistic?

And of course, they had to make it close with the countdown to create the tension.. Sigh.

What really ticked me off, aside from the obvious misrepresentation of military equipment, is that when you pick up a SAM launcher against an attack aircraft and fire it, do you expect it to survive?

Ibara does apparently, because when they went to investigate the sloooowly descending B-2 bomber, discovered the dead bodies and then she goes: "I failed again. I let more people die."

Wtf, I think it was glaring in your face when you picked up a Stinger against them. The beginning of the show was good but please, enough of these teenage girls in these kinds of settings.

first off the animation quality during the chase was just horrible. watch it frame for frame to see it even better.

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.

When I saw the drums of radioactive waste and then the raging tears in reaction to it my only reaction was complete disinterest. Worthless characters, crying and clenching fists over matters I have zero interest in because the worthless characters don't interest me.

Here's a question I was asking myself: Beyond all the other impossibilities dealing with a stealth bomber being treated like it's a fighter jet that can somehow be slow enough and yet accurate enough to track a rickety jeep anywhere. And not to mention slow enough that the girls are actually able to shoot it down from said jeep...

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?!
The professor explained in the show that Yellow Cake was probably charging a huge amount to dispose of the waste from all over the world, which could explain how they could afford a single B2. This show also takes place in the future, so China could've stolen the blueprints and made their own B2. Whether China, or the US, would actually sell an actual stealth bomber to a Japanese company - who knows.


Well considering is the future then maybe the tech of a B2 plane is not such a great achievement anymore maybe many countries can make similar or better planes and maybe the US replaced them with new models and just decided to sell them around or something.

This show is full of crazy things and the fight with the b2 was that in this episode. Your theories aren't. They know the time is ten minutes not because they know how much time the radiation needs to kill a certain individual but because they know how much time can that drug protect from radiation.
Also what the hell to you mean can't help people that had been exposed to sertain amount of radiation? Well the Aether drug couldn't help this guy ether since in more than ten minutes he would have died. The drug isn't a healing drug, of course it can help someone that already has major cell damage from radiation cause the damage has already been done but it can still stop the damage from continuing for ten minutes.Aether drug is just a temporary immunity to radiation since it comes from the cells of those girls that are immune to it.

I agree with this about the crying. Although i do get the sense they are trying to be melodramatic slightly too much the overreaction of people about the crying scenes here really seems like you say. It's the same bullshit we get with people shouting Shinji is a pussy while watching Evangelion and shit like that while they get overexcited about silly characters like Kamina and call him epic. Teenagers and immature people just trying to play cool. So fucking irritating.

Yeah the girl cried, get over it already, that's hardly this shows big problem and yet this is the most mentioned shit in every post.
Crazy stuff like fighting a B2 with a jeep or rare genetically enhanced girls that probably cause trillions being left in a town playing rescuers while playing schoolgirls is the type of problems this show has, not that they are fucking emotional people.

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 :))



Strange. In my sub version she said: " I can't know what you are feeling but i know one thing. That today the sky is as beautiful as ever". That is a lot less cringe worthy and sensible.
