| It was just ok for the first half, the second half was bullshit, deus ex and asspulls one after the other. 4/10, I was expecting something much better after Steins;Gate (which is in my top 5 in fact). |
| Was Aki in the new GunVarrel, and Kai in the space shuttle? |
| All in all it was good, not on S;G level though, which I shouldn't have expected, probably the reason why I didn't enjoy this as much. 7/10 all in all |

Care to remind me where the deus ex machina was? Also, why compare it with S;G? Yes, they're both the same VN company, but NOT the same animation studio. This one ommited a lot of things, hence I found no comparison point. |
| Either 4/10 or 5/10, completely average from the first to the last episode. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |

Intereo said: Also, why compare it with S;G? Yes, they're both the same VN company, but NOT the same animation studio. This one ommited a lot of things, hence I found no comparison point. I'm not comparing, just that before starting I had great expectations because of Steins;Gate, of course I was wrong. |
Posse said: Monopoles falling from the sky without reason? You're right about that, but as far as I know there IS a reason. Just as I said before, Production I.G ommited it. And don't get me wrong, it was also dissapointing for me. |
| A generous 7/10. Ending was yeah... |
 |
| it was fun 7/10 |
 |
| That's It??? UGh....how anti-climatic! This anime had a lot of great moments and tons of interests at one point....but the story was so convoluted it's kinda hard to appreciate it. 7/10......as usual, I'm generous with my ratings. |
neontaster said: Despite its many flaws, I couldn't help but enjoy this. I really liked the characters. Same here! I really enjoyed Robotics;Notes as a whole. Characters were all likeable and just downright fun. Frau is the freakin' best though, always made me laugh. xD I admit this last episode was pretty cliche and quite anti-climatic but I still liked it. I just love how Gunvarrel became the 'hero' again. Kai becoming the astronaut and an actual Gunvarrel Robot was fully-built? Damn! It's a shame Daru didn't make an appearance, was looking forward to that so much. Overall, giving Robotics;Notes an 8/10 |
 |
| What the fuck. ------------------ About the episode - Lame. That was some deus ex machina. Seriously, I know we've seen a lot of characters snap out of the hypnotism when some grand speech has been made but fuck. That was horrible. Aki's speech was bad as always. The only good thing about this episode is that Kai knows Misa always ducks 4 units to the right... Kimijima Kou's soldiers was defeated like no problem. No fuck was given. ------------------- About the series, Story - Story is average. One problem of the story is that a bunch of highschool kids and an old geezer can build a robot while there are thousands of adults there that didn't do shit about Kimijima Kou. Also there were a lot of Deus ex Machina moments. Especially the bird disarming Airi with the gun. What the fuck? That was like the worst possible way to get out of that situation. But to be honest, despite that, I thought the first half was really good. The mysteries and such. The build up was slow and nice so I was expecting a lot but this is what I get. Sigh. Characters - Horrible characters. Kona, Sawada, Nae, Old geezer are the only decent ones. The rest are just BAD. Don't even need to explain. Art - Art is average. Not bad but not really something to boast of. Animation - I felt like Production I.G could have done a better job in the animation department. I mean, the animation is not bad but I just know that they can do more. I guess they prioritized Psycho-Pass more than this. Not that a great animation will change the lame conclusion but its a bit disappointing to see Production I.G not doing their best with this series considering how well people received S;G. Sound - A bit above average. I must admit Kagome Kagome was catchy. Both opening and ending songs are also good. Overall Enjoyment - As I've said I enjoyed the series up to episode 15 or something. The build up and hints for the big war was exciting. But well, I don't know. I don't know why it went GC. I know it won't really surpass S;G or get close to it from the start because of the characters but I am really disappointed. I would rather watch an Anime with boring, average start and a epic second half than the opposite. I guess all of us do. 6/10 The score from the bottom of my heart is 6.5 but... Oh well, at least the first half is enjoyable. And this series is not even a bad anime compared to the others. Its just hella disappointing. |

| Ohh Noooo.... i like how it end but ending didnt feel like ending to me, i cant feel any climax . . overall i like the series its gonna be 8/10 for me.. and faru yeah u totally just died there :D.. gonna miss the robotics club!!! and WhoTheHell are those 3 astronauts lols.. |
 |
| I really wish they there was atleast one more ep. The ending was just.. mehhhh. I knew they wouldn't be able to do a proper epilogue considering the content they had to fit in, but damn.. the ending was just so underwhelming. It just left you asking "That's it?". This ending drops the rating by 1 for me - 6/10. |
 |
| The robot battle was lame as hell. It shouldn't have even been a close fight considering the specs and mobility between both robots, even with the whole "slow mo" thing going on. Whatever though, overall it was still fairly good. 7/10 |
| wouldnt it make sense for aki to be the astronaut? and kai to be in the new gunpro at the end? since hes the one whos been piloting it the entire time..whatever...very anti-climatic series. |
dacak said: Roxkis said: I don't know what i was hoping for with all things considered but that wasn't it. kinda how i feel too. not that I hated the show or anything just expected the final episode to have more....IMPACT! Exactly. Also so whats the explanation of killing those top Kill-balad(spelling?) players? 7/10 |
| The series started off mediocre then got a lot better, and then became mediocre again right towards the end... And I really didn't like Aki for some reason. I was actually planning on giving this a 9 when all that tension was still there in the show, especially when Mizuka died, and the conspiracy was being unraveled. Disappointing ending. |

 |
| that's it????? well i expected some fast-paced action of those robot battle lol and i think yashio will got faint or something like that because of overdosed lol well good series in overall |
 |
| This was fun to watch for sure at most parts but it kinda ended with a lack luster bang. :/ I am kinda disappointed a bit with how it ended without reading the VN. I was expecting... well more after all of the thread hype? Not sure what to rate... |

| I dunno what to think about R;N. I didn't like Aki all that much, but Kai grew on me over time and Frau was very entertaining and sweet. The music was awesome, there were a few scenes that really made my hair stand on end in anticipation. But overall, the plot was kinda meh and didn't draw me in much. It was still an entertaining anime, but I do agree with many others that something was lacking and it could've been so much more. I'm a little disappointed, but still glad I watched it after all. It was still one of the better animes this season in my opinion. I really hope this encourages more studios to attempt sci fi (non bullshit harem) animes in the future! |

MANY THINGS were OMITTED from the VN. MANY THINGS... TT_TT I honestly can't think why that they can't actually push the series into a full 24/25 episode series... It would surely be less compacted and rushed like this.... Robotic;Notes is in indeed the weakest, when compared to Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate. But this adaptation is just making it seems like it's the worst thing ever.... |

| I dropped at ep 13, soon after I restarted watching, and it was good and tense till some point. Final Score : I regret watching this. |

AiCon said: The robot fight wasn't as great as I hoped it would be. It was an ass-pull that Kai was able to use that slow motion 3 times after all that talk of him possibly dying since he collapsed the first time it was activated. Yeah I was expecting at least some kind of repercussion from using that slow-motion trigger thing. He should have at the very least collapsed or something, it's supposed to be a huge strain on his heart/body... Hm and people were complaining about PP's ending. Nope, PP's ending was great, this was...meh. This definitely felt empty, and there's nothing really left to ponder about. It's just...an end. This anime has had a lot of good moments but I don't think the anime as a whole was executed that well. It was like a slice-of-life and mystery but they weren't really integrated together :/ I'm stuck between rating this a 6 or 7. |
| It was a fun ride i already knew i was expecting to much out of this from the start,just something about this ending...didn't like it at all. Giving this a 8/10 but feels like a 7. |
 |
| That was one of the lamest endings I've seen in a while. Deus Ex Machina + all of the over-used troopes. Yeah, 2 episodes ago, one seizure knocks him out, but now he can take 3. That's bullshit. 5/10 for the whole thing, for having been 50% filler. Why were Jun and Subaru even IN this show? They could have been replaced by... anything really. |

DmonHiro said: Deus Ex Machina + all of the over-used troopes.. There's no Deux Ex Machina, it's just the fact that the adaptation was too butchered and omitted way too many of the tech explanations that was there in the original VN... Eventhough it's weaker than Chaos;head and Steins;Gate, the original source itself is pretty good. but...damn it... FUCK YOU Production IG... |

| overall i really liked it but the last ep was really poor and very anti-climax 7/10. |

| "Hey, here's a device that can trigger your slow-motion seizure!" "Hey, here's a device that can fool Kou's IR!" "Hey, here are some monopoles that fell for the sky so you can build your motors!" "Hey, here's this program that can delete Kou!" "Hey, for some reason, your carppy robot CAN MATCH THE SPEED OF YOUR SLOW-MOTION REACTION TIME! "Hey, I made it so you can take 3 heart attacks in a row without much damage!" "Hey, now you're an astronaut!" Yeah... I'm going to stick to my deus-ex machina complain. Since I haven't read the VN, these are all major D-E M for me. |

I'm just saying that they are "originally" not, but this adaptation made them look like D-E M. The astronaut one really "hurt" though....they have the gall to show that when Kai never explained it at all in this anime... GAH I've mixed feelings..... |

I never thought of some of these things, but yeah, the final was so cliche, I wanted to rate it a 8 because I liked some episodes and scenes, but with this ending and other reasons (some are are listed above) a 7 is fair enough, I don't feel it like an 8 anymore. |
| Better than stiens;gate. |

Roxkis said: Slow ass robot suddenly can swing left and right fast as hell? GTFO!! Could the big ass spider robot not swing horizontally!? Like really,was the smaller robot not fast enough to run behind the big, slow ass robot!!?? If this fight was simulated with any kind of remote bit of realism, Kai and crew would have all been killed. First i would want to say that this is an anime and not ment to be realistic(black hole bomb to the sun). Also i think that the robot was not being realy "fast" it was most likely just Aki's perfect timing. Which he was able to do because of his slow motion "skill" and experience through playing so much that robot game. Well anyway...Unrealistic stuff like this can seen in almost all animes and hollywood movies. What comes to series i gave it 9/10. Not it being perfect or awesome like Steins:Gate.It's Just because i felt like it. It was solid and interesting piece that was able to keep me watching it every week(I dont watch anime as much as i did before).Oh and i enjoyed the characters. I guess after couple days or weeks i will lower the score to 8 or 7/10, but we shall see. |

| Well, I just watched it. Overall score is 6/10. Just because of the first half and characters. While there wasn't much char-development, characters themselves were very good. Well, and, still better than Chaos;Head anime. At least there wasn't much original content from animators. And, like I said, the first half too was pretty good. Production IG or Hanada Juuki, whoever it was, the show is ruined by them. Like someone said on youtube, it seems that odd-number Curse from StarTrek fandom is now stroke SciADV-adaptations. I hope that SciADV4 anime will be good. Pretty sad that I'm mostly depend on other people's words about the VN. If it wasn't the case and I could read it, I've never started to watch an anime in the first place. |

| Well, it wasn't good as Steins Gate, that's obvious. Too much ass pulls and plot armor, Kimijima could have slash that junk into pieces easily but nooo, good guys always win even when it doesn't make sense. I guess 6/10 will be good enough. |

Heh, almost missed that Aki was on Gunvarrel at the end of episode. |

Haha it's a curse they inherited from their KID's days, the 3rd installment in a series always takes the hit. And about the anime, I'm pretty sure it's the fault of Hanada. When there's something wrong it's him who directed that episode. Damn. |
