| Just my random guess: The adults in this anime are scientists who are studying human psychology or reactions to war and losses. The students in this anime are orphans and therefore used as experimental subjects in this video-game like simulation. As the lady with the cleavage says "They are just livestock". So maybe they are just guinea pigs to her so that she can collect data. The chip on their necks is connected to their central nervous system and brain, therefore causing them to see, feel and hear things which are not really there. Also, that chip is used to collect data of their heart rate and etc that the scientists are trying to collect. I do hope that the nice adults/ scientists are truly being nice to the kids. Maybe some of them feel more guilty than others about this experiment. I don't know if my guess is correct, but just letting my imagination run wild here. |
| It's not something new to see others say that they saw it coming. The last scene last episode told us that the world is fake and probably feeling a Matrix vibe. Sorry my brain was off while watching cause it's really weird and thought this wouldn't go anywhere with that crappy effects just until last episode, considering I don't mind the animation. And since the plot was unveiled in just one episode, I think the intended "dark" of the anime was not achieved. If you summed it all up, it will make sense that the author intended to do it but fail somehow. The lingering feeling of wanting to know just busted out in a second. For those who didn't know, Canaria made her debut again last episode. |

| "This (anime) industry is weird" - Chitose Karasuma, Gi(a)rlish Number I hope someday someone in an anime would say, "The (anime) viewers are weird." |
| I had a really strange feeling watching this episode. I found it very boring, but at the same time, Kasumi made this quite exciting, even when he is supossed to be a boring, calm character. He is more enjoyable to see than the rest of the protagonists. Kinda strange, tbh. The revelation at the end makes basically confirmed that chip they have in the neck actually makes them see a fake world or something like that. At the end, probably all the main characters are alive. Ichiya in the preview screaming sounds like we will have some fun scenes. |
 |
| Really a good episode with a nice plot. For me, Kasumi and Asuha were the two characters that I liked the most, so I'm happy that they get more screen time. Now I'm looking forward to see more explaination. |
Destined_One said: No sadly they are dead most probably everyone who got attacked by unknown is dead cause come one even if they can see those red eye aliens in replacement of something other then at least those unknown creature can see the Canaria and Hime as allies will not hurt them..... And those pillars squashing those students in previous episode (that hurted) spilled blood no chance sadly. Somehow I doubt that. There's a few things I noticed that sort of adds up, you can correct me if I'm mistaken. 1st is Canaria who got crushed before, but somehow conveniently a villain boss appears afterward to face maihime. The boss is also capable of using power similar to Canaria by empowering others, albeit reversed this time. 2nd is what the tentacle boobie told kasumi about livestocks need to 'stay' asleep in the fake world. (Fun fact, you now know how airi operates multiple screens from all angles!) Honestly, we still don't know anything about this yet, other than the fact that they're sleeping in this fake world with no normal means to 'wake up'. 3rd is Hotaru and Maihime who choose to get wiped out deliberately after finding out the world is fake. I doubt those 2 would pull a double suicide simply because the world they know is fake, since Maihime would still protect her friends regardless. The answer lies in what they truly saw after having their chips completely broken. Lastly is the purpose of unknowns in the fake world of Qualidea code. All they do is destroying humans, but for what purpose exactly? The tentacles hate them for a reason. It's a fake world and unknowns are destroying their livestock being humans sleeping. But why? Remember the conversation between Airi and Gutoku that 'they' don't know when to give up, being the creatures they are. I would assume that those 'creatures' are actually humans using a programming code, infiltrating the fake world as a foreign code or 'unknowns' to save the students again and again. Strange, I didn't notice any blood splatter from those students getting crushed by drop pods myself. tl:dr, No one's really dead. |
| Did nobody get that Elfen Lied vibe from when the bitchy woman started hacking and slashing with her invisible tentacles? I'm assuming that the kids are stuck in sleep pods being tapped into this psudo-matrix world of theirs. The "invaders" are all resistance fighters trying to get the kids out of this funk by any means possible. I'm just wondering exactly how the rest of the kids will manage to wake up. |

| fuck just tell the secret already |

| Almost dropped this series as early as ep 2 if it weren't for the Chigusa siblings, esp Kasumi! They're definitely my favorite character and imho the most interesting, despite their somewhat "boring" personalities. As for the whole series, I still think it's bad and I didn't seriously watch the previous episodes; I only looked up from my phone when it's the siblings' scenes LOL So this ep really somehow revived my interest because of the new plot twists and also, focus on Kasumi and Asuha, and I liked the overall pacing. It's slow but I prefer it over nonstop action scenes that don't add any significance to the plot. 3/5 |

| Those who already read the NV or being spoiled somehow please let me watch the series in peace... Canaria should stay dead so that Tokyo shounen can go temee all the way against Kasumi More wincest pls they are so cute together <3<3<3 P.s the story is very interesting even from the start, people wouldnt have hard feelings for this if only it got better animation. And seriously i can give it 10/10 much more easily if the animation is better |

| Well that was a surprising and somewhat shocking episode Guess now that the Chiba siblings are the main characters now that Maihime and Hotaru are apparently gone. That medical officer from HQ being a bad guy was not surprising but the fact that she had powers as well was. Glad that she is dead though because she was so annoying. Nice to see that Aoi is getting much more of a role now but wished that it was under better circumstances. Im loving her character at the moment though because she is just so kind and well normal. Im also a great fan of her seiyuu Amamiya Sora as well. So thats a bonus lol. The siblings have a interesting relationship to say the least lol. You have to wonder just what kind when the sister gets jealous when her brother is with another girl lol. Wonder whether everyone at HQ is an enemy and is in fact controlling this war and world. anyway can't wait till next week to see what happens |

Tylermn93 said: Ya know, normally I like characters similiar to how the twins are personality wise. Yet I don't really care for either of them and same ordeal with incest in anime it normally doesn't bother me but with these two it does. Even though Suzaku is an arrogant dick I would prefer to follow this from his perspective. I wanna see him go crazy and just destroy everything. Doesnt he have deep respect and gratitude for the adults, what will happen when he learns the truth? Agree with every word. Somehow the chiba siblings are annoying and irritating to see after all that happened to kanegawa pair. Icchan is rendered a cameo MC, he comes, yells and is never seen again in an episode So the adults are not human and the kids are 'livestock', when students are sent 'inside', it means they are butchered and eaten??? |
| If it wasn't so poorly animated this anime would be really good. The Voice Actors, characters, and story are all likable in my opinion, but my god the animation is brutal. Well seems like the Adults are pieces of shit, sucks because I like "Mom" |

| Without Maihime and Canaria, there is a serious lack in happiness. The brother and sister are pretty okay characters though, as long as they here, I can watch this anime, in fact, their probably the best two characters in this anime... confirmed to be alive. Pretty cool ending, and the world is fake, but that's not all that surprising really. But ummm, one thing that really bugs me. People are working, some of them are goofing off playing around. How do they do this? By just straight up chucking rocks at each other? Like... what? they can't have a competition to see who can throw the rocks the furthest or something? |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| That ED song though. The music and the characters are definitely my favorite part of this series. The story is getting more and more interesting each episode too. I'm still sad that Maihime died though :( |
| no character developments at all. |
| QC certainly does have it flaws which sorely stick out but the show is really interesting to me, and so far the main cast seems to be a pretty likeable bunch. The Chiba camp siblings are more interesting than I thought they would be now that the show is focusing on them. This is the anime I anticipate the most every week now. Suzaku seems to be pretty amusing now than he was. He's just some angry emo kid running around whining and being depressed. Also, if that if is Suzaku screaming in the ED preview, I think I might actually be more amused at him. So bad it's good |
| allo |
| The truth is slowly revealing itself. I like the Chiba siblings. |
| is this sort of like " The Matrix" ? and the "Adults" probably have no idea that AOI also know the secret behind the real and fake world, since her world ability is there is no knowledge in the entire world she didnt know? or something similar to that? Isn't it like she's a database or something? and I assume that, these kids need to undergo some sort of experiments in the real world, - similar to the matrix maybe? some sort of multiplayer game? hmmm |

| Very interesting episode. Looking forward for more answers next week. :) |
 |
| I am glad I didn't drop this anime.......the new ED is awesome ^^ |
| I seriously hope that Chigusa isn't in love with her brother... Their interactions are cute but lets keep it at that. The woman who died was really hot lol. Decent episode. |
| from the first episode until now i waiting for this moment, when chigusa sibling got potlight and it didnt dissapoint, and i began to hope suzaku rampaging everywhere to kill everyone when at first i hate that lol. |
| 期待しているよ、私のサリアだって、嘘ばっかり! でもねアンジュ、あんたがいなくなれば、私の方が強いってわかれば, それができるなら、何もいらない! |
| It honestly really sucks the show is actually starting to get really good after the shit fest it started as. Hopefully it continues like this |
 |
| Hotaru was smart to noticed they were living in another reality, so I believe they are all alive and the adults are the bad guys... |
 |
| Strangely, the matrix stuff made the show more interesting for me, so I kinda like where this is going right now. I am hoping for better episodes from now on as I didn't really like the first half of the anime... Also, I usually love the strong redheads, so Asuha is bad ass! :) |

| Well, I know it was predictable, but it's interesting nonetheless. The previous two episodes were quite boring but this one was interesting, let's see. |
 |
| Asuha and Kasumi are definitely the most enjoyable characters. Maybe Suzaku would be interesting too, but he needs more screentime. Even him going "crazy" in the last episode was cut short so the episode could focus on Hotaru and Maihime. |
