| Too bad this started to get worse with the end of episode 9. But this was to be expected ... the Japanese story writers just can't be without their typical extreme plot twists. At least the background story for Tsukai in the 1st half of this episode was nice and explained a bit about her. And about zaShunina ... well we still don't really understand his reasons. Apparently those anisotropic create universes and observe them and then "harvest" the information. And some (like Tsukai) have a non-interference policy. More info isn't given. |
Kemosabe said: Can't recall ever being this disappointed in an anime. You know that scene in the Mr. Bean movie where he destroys the painting "Whistler's Mother"? That's episode 9. Episode 10 is him drawing a face over it. This....is the most accurate description I've ever read in my life :'D Dying here |
| Ffs that forced romance made me cringe af, I thought there'll be no romance in this show, but that goddamn preview with I think Saraka and Shindo kissing? What the fuck? Liked this episode, but that romance is just so unnecessary. And can someone tell me how come Saraka became a human being? Was she conceived like Jesus? Hahaha. Akiho90 said: I'm frustrated how this anime is going downhill with the Saraka-part (her being an anisotropic being and the kiss and her snuggling inside of Shindo's shirt and all that) :/ For me it totally destroyed the atmosphere. You had potential, what are you doing >__< I couldn't agree more with everything you said. Ugh ugh. -_- Diosa11 said: This episode was so aggghhh... Half of the episode wasted on tsukai's background, which I don't care about. At all. Thereafter ensues the cliched boy got hurt saving girl spiel and the Disney kiss, not to mention the naked upon awakening classic innuendo. Was Tsukai's slow realization about her being naked supposed to be cute? My eyes nearly rolled out of their sockets. The only redeeming value was zaShunina's self doubt. He's questioning himself for the first time, and it was really interesting to see. This show had so much potential, and could've been handled in a thousand different ways. Why? Just why did it have to go down this route? Where are the negotiations? The impact of those anisotropic technologies upon earth's advancement? All those earlier episodes of realistic and detailed first contact scenario wasted. Judging from the preview, in the end, it all comes down to a fight. The anisotropic devices' potential will probably be left forever unexplored. You pretty much said all the things I want to say, so thank you so much! Jin_uzuki said: Yeah, this is really bad now. It went from negotiations and grey morality to anisotropic waifu war with a forced romance. I really loved this show, but damn that forced romance made me lose my faith in this show; it was so unnecessary. :/ Clearance said: Well, that sure is a way to completely ruin a series in one episode. The whole existence of anisotropic-Saraka seems really unnecessary, even disregarding her annoying personality. Welp. Also... is the ring going to be explained?? The backstory told nothing imo. I have a lot of questions, too, like how does that ring of hers works? So, was she conceived like Jesus or something idk? That backstory didn't explain anything really. |

| This show jumped the shark. Shame. |

SHe is the universe's biggest fan after all :D Does she loves ISIS and north Korean gay porn too? yes. she loves the whole universe. |
| I loved the first half of this episode. A really interesting visual of how evolution as we know it a higher intelligence could be combined in one. I hope the outcome is solved with negotiation and intelligence and not use of any weapons. |

| I didn't get the beginning. I thought Saraka, like zaish, was more 'living organism' type, not particles or spirit or powder. I liked Saraka from human's viewpoint, now that she's Anisotropic being, with her millions years of living experience, she felt 'out of place'. Her sudden active involvement concerning Shindou's life, him pushing her out of danger from a fucking speed of laser, her saving him from 'kiss' and 'stripping', felt like indulgence to conventional anime antics. The roll-back Shindou upgrade taking the stage to enlighten the mass to nanomis, while real one is a 'lucky sukebei'... |
| zaShu's starting to doubt himself? That sad look on his face. Original Shindo's gone(not really). That preview though. Shindo isn't safe yet. All I want at this point is a happy ending with Shindo and Tsukai together. : ] |
  |
| Never thought that Kado can surprise me anymore than it already does though lol. Damm what an episode though Hmm the twin revelations of ZaShuNina actually being a bad guy and Saraka actually being a anisotropic being as well was really surprising. The insight into the actions and discussions that the anisotropic beings discussed as the milky war was forming was pretty interesting. To think that Saraka had actually visited the planet even before the first man had began walking though. It was interesting to see Saraka transform into a human baby and decide to live on the planet as a human though. It was nice that we got to see different parts of Saraka's life as well. But despite his harsh words one can see that her father really was worried about her. It was nice that to see that Saraka actually really enjoyed being a human being and that she enjoyed her time in the states as well. Seeing how Saraka's life began and how she lived on the planet before flicking back to the present i felt was interesting and made her character even more so. Hmm Saraka's answer to ZashuNina about being this planets biggest fan though was hillarious but made a lot of sense. The revelation that when she entered the cocoon Saraka actually gave up most of her powers was a surprise. Hmm so ZashuNina's true goal is to take humans out of the universe and into the anisotropic eh. Given that no more than a fraction of humanity will survive won't that kill millions. Hmm so he only needs one to succeed even if millions more die by being unsuccessful eh. Hmm still looking at what he says though it can be seen that ZashuNina is still set on advancing humanity even if it means killing a lot of them to do so. At the same time it was interesting to see and hear Saraka's view about this as well as she's been living as a human being for a pretty long time. It's also interesting to see Shindou finally have the courage to disagree with ZaShuNina though. Hmm so ZashuNina actually wanted Shindou to go with him eh. To think that Saraka actually at the moment of almost being hit remember all the memories she had with Shindou. A foreshadow of him being hit then i guess. I guess ZashuNina never factored in the possibility that Shindou would take the shot that would have killed Saraka i guess. Nice to see that Saraka too has a place where she can hide with Shindou as she healed his injuries though. Though not as powerful as ZashuNina was its nice that she was able to at least heal Shindou's injuries. Saraka's talk with Shindou as she healed him though was heartwarming. Shindou's response though was i guess just what a human would say lol. The scene where Shindou and Saraka rotated around the planet as Saraka explained herself was pretty nicely done and showed just how much she loved humanity. Seems that ZashuNina is intent with his plan of advancing humanity even after seeing Shindou take the blow for Saraka. Man the clone of Shindou looks exactly the same and you can hardly see the difference between it and the real one. Hmm the final scene though lol. It will be nice if they actually become a couple though. Both Shindou and Saraka have very similar personalities though and i think they will actually make a great pair. Though first they have to stop ZashuNina first though. Hmm ZashuNina looks pretty damm dangerous with that energy blade though. So Saraka was able to sense when Shindou was in danger and at that moment teleport in eh. But man the sudden change in ZashuNina though. Things are getting more exciting in the lead up to the final. Never imagined that Saraka would be a anisotropic being as well though. The explanation in the beginning though was pretty interesting. As well as the little history lesson as well. It was interesting watching the various anisotropic beings talk and discuss among themselves though. Hmm so they were on Earth for a long long time then eh. Hmm so Saraka after exploring Earth millions of years ago transformed into a human after to live on Earth eh. I can see why Saraka respects and loves the planet so much then. Its nice that we also get to see Saraka's childhood as well. Saraka was cute when was little though. Even when little Saraka loved to explore eh. Man even when little she still worried her parents though. She looked like she really was a handful though when she was little. Hmm so her father wasn't too keen on the idea that Saraka was going to the states to learn eh. Then again i wouldn't either. |

| I still don't understand how Tsukai Saraka came to be Tsukai Saraka herself as an anisotropic. Is she a child of god and a hybrid human!? 4/5. |

I might drop this show, too, if they're gonna continue with the romance bullshit with Shindo and Saraka. Nobody asked for that shit! Ffs. Really love this show not until the last episode. This show literally went from 9 down to 7 for me. I'm still pissed af! |

| it is now clearly seen that Tsukai is the best waifu out there goddamn I love this anime |
 |
yuliyana29 said: This anime easily turned out into a joke. Potential was there, so yeah, let's waste it the best way possible. That's why I have an aversion towards originals. They start promising then screw it up half way through. I completely agree. This anime turned out shit. Dropped. Saraka ruined it. |
| So how many time before did zaShunina kill Shindo? Just think about it, how long it initially took until someone got out of the Kado at all. zaShunina was clearly experimenting until he found the right approach with his disposable test subjects.

There should be a transformation like in sailormoon next. Shindo in a scottish skirt or something. |

brittanyhoot said: DatRandomDude said: Oh man, this is Erased all over again. I'm curious to know what you mean by this. Erased was one of the best shows I've seen, but I'm also super into Kado and I see now that many aren't. I don't want to argue because I know everyone has different tastes. I feel lucky when certain shows come around that can touch me in this way. Anyway — I'd like to hear the Erased/Kado connection you see! I was just saying that because most of Erased was really good but the last 2 - 3 episodes were really disappointing, and for me Kado is pretty much doing the same thing for now. Its just that x) |
 |
| Saraka HNGGGG. The kiss was really cute!! Next episode is going to be lit. |
| So did she like have sex to save him or something |
| So much salt in this thread... |
| This show just went from a 8 to like a 9 in my head in one episode. Can't believe people hate it. zaShunina is painted as the villain that I always suspected he would be since episode one, but his morality is still gray. He doesn't understand what he does because he's so powerful. He thinks he can just kill Shindo to redo a conversation since he can make another. I love the contrast of the naturalist anisotropic who has been reincarnating and appreciating humanity. Who had walked in the shoes of animals and man and wants to preserve the dignity of living in the moment and stop zaShunina from corrupting all the divine beauty of the randomness that gave birth to humans for his selfish gains. As someone who has been consuming books, anime and movies his whole life, it is only cliche if you're looking at it in a surface level way and not appreciating the powerful undercurrents. I also believe that if there is a god, his lack of intervention is because he's an observing scientist or just loves free will and letting humanity do it on their own. I got both of my guesses on the nature of god in one show. The beings who created the coccoons and the one who watches adoringly as things play out naturally. |

| For a while I wasn't sure if Saraka would die or not... I was sort of expecting her to. Not sure how I feel about this. Before it was humanity vs other-side. Now it's not so simple. One has to wonder, has Shindo already been replaced multiple times before? (probably unlikely considering Saraka's reaction) |
  |
| ZaShunina become villain here, but he starting to regret what he's done. now there's two Shindo, how the original shindo get rid of the fake shindo? isn't that the same as killing a "human"? why Saraka lost all her clothes when switch back to her normal form? or she did "something fun" with Shindo in order to completely heal him? I am still curious what's the third, they skipped the third and go for the fourth. |
| Pretty good episode, I'm just not a fan of how quickly zaShunina became the enemy. He was one of my favorites :( |

| Very impressive episode if you ask me, especially loved that back story part in the beginning of this episode! Had quite another feel over it than the rest if this series. Looking forwards to see what the last two episodes will offer us! |

| wondering what ZaShunina is thinking about at the end TsundeReaper said: Their crush is now the antagonist (saw it coming a mile away) zaShunina will die, I hope so lmao same |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| I like Saraka even more now!! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| The ending with a naked Saraka is so cringy and disgusting. I can take a tiny bit of moe for comedic relief in a serious anime but getting naked for no reason? Jesus the pandering has to stop. That's why new age anime fucking sucks, they all feel the same somehow. Just like what Eminem said in his new album pretty much, everybody sounds the same. |
