THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
They're really concentrating on the fictional world of the past right now by the looks of it. The info dump about the world also has a feel of realism to it too.

I thought the second episode was better than the previous, definitely felt the mood of the historical times from a more personal perspective. Mari does manage to back to her timeline but I have a feeling that we'll get a shift between the past and present again.

Ok, this show is utterly charming in its earnestness and attempt at educational value. Mari and Waka are too cute, and I love their family and friends too. Ditto Gilbert and his insanely hot with her hair down maid. Loved her checking on sleeping Mari. Bring on Ben Franklin! XD

@Stark700 @animefan8800 Happy to see you're both warming up to it. It's definitely a one-of-a-kind series, and it does a pretty good job of educating the viewer. Looking forward to next week!

Oh wow, I teared up at the scene where William got mail about his friend's death. The OST that played as she suddenly warped back to modern times was really good too.

Futa in the hospital. What a serious injury that was last episode lololol.

Super charming with education value. :D

It feels like "Another way of learning about History and Science", and I LIKE IT.
Right after Gilbert find another way to learn about dip circle, that letter from Rome arrived. what a party-pooper

Modern Japanese junior highschool girl mastering 16th century cooking apparatus and ingredient in one day - does not computer.

When that AED-loaded venting machine appeared I almost wished they repeated the same thing or making Fuuta saved by an AED be a routine in each episode, because what happened in the first episode was so beautiful. Take notes, YBJ and every anime involving operating real life medical equipment.

I wonder what would happen to Mari's uniform, that might cause an early fashion evolution for all I know.

I like how Mari's cake gave inspiration to William Gilbert's proof :) She's also a lot more interested in and appreciative of science now, as I am. We don't really go into details about many historical figures in school (at least not mine?), and it's more just briefly attaching names to big discoveries but nothing more. I also like how it went kind of political/social about how those in power can shut down the truth.

Well this is turning out to be a very enjoyable series. I had to look up who Giordano Bruno was and what exactly happened to him. 7 years in Prison then burned at the stake for speaking the truth. Oh and the guy who tried him was Inquisitor Cardinal Bellarmine whom later was made a saint... Pathetic.

See Youtube channel Theoria Apophasis for the most accurate and advanced comprehension of magnetism.

Core important concepts addressed in the after-credits.
1) dielectricity creates (because it terminates as) magnetism. magnetism does not directly create electricity.
>If pop-sci tells you magnetic reconnection generates energy - they dunno wtf they're talking about.
2) liquid planetary interior model conflicts with magnetosphere theory, based on how the electrification of "magnetism" works.
>In the actual physics there is no need for a liquid or a hollow interior of a planet, either is possible. Note: it would not be the liquid parts electrifying, but there can be hot and cool layers, just like how the ionosphere is hotter than the surface. This is a sorting process known as plasma "double layers".

This is what the field of every magnetized object looks like. Be it a ferromagnet, electromagnet (any size), a planet, an atom, a galaxy, doesn't matter. The field always forms the same geometry regardless of scale, how many times you break or combine magnets or charged objects. Ignore the primitive iron filings experiments because they are extremely basic and only measure a tiny fraction of field behaviour.


The magnetic needle of a compass will always point down the convergent funnel at the reciprocal pole (north needle faces down the south magnetic pole) of the magnet it's most affected by. When no other small scale magnets are nearby, that means it'll focus on the planet's pole. It doesn't point AT the pole, it points DOWN the pole. There is no magnetic material inside the earth making the field, there can be, but there doesn't need to be any. The planet itself is a charged body which generates a macro magnetic field. So technically the earth is one giant magnet, including all of the rocks, air, water, life, constructions; one dielectric object.

I was curious to see how accurate the show is, and it's good to know that it is accurate, even if it's dated.

PS: The ill treatment happens to frontier scientists even today. Example, Halton Arp was subjected to the galileo treatment by disallowing his telescope time because he made a discovery that negated doppler redshift assumption. He found that quasars appeared to gather mostly along the poles of spiral galaxies, making them young ejections rather than old accretions with supermassive magic holes. They were thought to be far because of how redshift they are.

Just because media and acadamia says something, doesn't make it fact.

Yeah, that's really cruel, getting killed just because people don't accept your ideas when it's actually the truth.

Great episode by the way.

So according to this show, a moe moe girl making cake is the reason behind the world now knowing why a compass always points north. And now we'll get to know how this same moe moe girl helped humans use electricity.

Anyway, at one point this felt like I was watching some high school science lecture. And I'm not even that much into physics and shit. However, I did like that touch about the plight of scientists back in the days when the church was so stubborn and didn't want to accept the scientific discoveries since they'd be proven wrong and in the process they tried to eliminate scientists speaking the truth and proving the church's science wrong. Guess they're not going for a fictional history and are keeping to facts as much as possible save for the presence of a Japanese moe girl in those time periods in different countries.

The stuff about the time travel logic should get some more detail especially after they showed that Mari spent two days in 1600 while only three or so hours passed in present times.

I'm really not sold on its presentation mainly because I'm not interested in studying physics while watching animes. I do, however, appreciate the stuff like Mari's clothes being considered obscene in that period while being perfectly normal in most societies nowadays and the stuff about the troubles scientists went through to achieve what we consider general knowledge nowadays. But the latter stuff is just secondary as its main purpose is kinda to be an educational show with seriously educational stuff and I'm personally not all that into it. I'll give it another episode to see if the secondary stuff gets me good enough to continue or not.

I thought that police officer was suspicious a little after he showed up, and then he asked if he could go inside the place, and I thought he was plotting something. Glad he didn't do anything to those other two. Meanwhile, miss time traveler is learning tons about magnets and such while also teaching how to make cakes, and in doing so helped progress the dudes research. And the birthday cake came out perfect.

Her teleporting back was a huge surprise to me, and the visuals with the music made the whole thing pretty darn awesome. And I enjoyed the little end of the episode lesson thing as well. Good episode.

There's no point in defining the time travel. It's impossible to scientifically rectify time travel in the fictitious sense, because it violates a primary law of physics: continuum. Now it always now, and you can't change it or move it or break it up. There is only one present; you cannot make your present somewhere else. It's better to just leave it to your imagination.

As far as obscenity of clothing, that is a bit of a rollercoaster. In current society, especially western, we've actually regressed a bit. A few decades ago, short skirts and hotpants were in style, and getting it shorter was what it was all about. Now because of all the backwards feministic stuff, most girls wear trousers, tights, and the like. But yes a skirt -that- short would have been pretty dramatic for that time.

Many scientists had to go through many struggles, many failed; although there have been many in the ancient times that were more successful, before the churches rose to power. Like the greeks, egyptians, aztec, chinese, and the middle-eastern flourish that happened before the european renaissance (most of the stars in the sky are arabic named) and ended with the demonizing of mathematics. Some have succeeded even when they miscalculated, like Einstein, because everyone jumped in the bandwagon and didn't give them space to question themselves. That said, most of the electrical engineering happened in the 19th century.

a pretty good episode imo. i enjoyed it but at the same time not really somehow.
i really like the vibe of this show when they are talking about "time travel" it's kinda giving me a really mysterious vibe but often, this show giving me a vibe which felt kinda childish to be. but overall, i enjoyed this episode.

Bruno was not sentenced for heliocentric theory. He was sentenced for heresy, i.e. calling Jesus "a talented trickster" and saying that his disciples became angels and taht the angels are stars.
