| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This episode is better than the first tbh. In terms of visuals and pacing and everything. Okay so we finally got to see Clear (Masutaaa~) and Noiz. Really good episode this week!!! I am very happy with where this adaptation is going. |
| I wish I could lie on my headphones and still be comfortable enough to sleep, also looked like Aoba was having a soundgasim, im surprised he didnt wake up with "wet pants"...... Clear seems like a pretty funny guy. The music seems to suit the setting, a bit out of my taste though but still enjoyable. BTW: the 3D does not go well with the colour scheme in my opinion. |
| Powered by yuri. Needless to say, I finish all anime I start, no matter my initial opinion, no matter how bad it gets, I WILL FINISH IT! http://www.anime-planet.com/users/zunderdog24  |
| Aoba probably acted on impulse when battling in a Rhyme arena, since he seems to have some experience. That accident probably erased his memories of it. Looks like he was deliberately lured into the game by someone. O.o I wonder what the lab is up to, analyzing Aoba's ability.. Mizuki is probably dealing with someone dangerous. That guy looked quite ominous. Clear is clearly weird, but he's a fun character! I'm guessing he's something like a familiar to Aoba? A bit slow paced but not a bad episode. Would like to see more about "Spirited Away" being discussed. |
 |
| LIked the episode over all. But i was quite dispointed that clear didnt have clear voice like in the game, they made *behind gas mask voice* ;; |
| Well,it's interesting to see how they are putting together stuff from all the routes... but oh man,in some moments i am laughing so much at the animation:') |

He was the main highlight of the episode for me, but we ended up with more Ren than Clear LOL. They adapted the Aoba and Ren forehead touch... I was hyperventilating deep inside when they did it even tho it lasted for one second. xD And Ren licked Aoba's cheek :D Looks like they are aiming for equal love for the guys O.O And speaking of Noiz finding Aoba in the shop, we all know what that will lead to... -smiles- Can't wait to watch the rest of the episodes! |
| Hmm... I still don't understand anything. Hope they will clear some of my questions in the next episode. |

I think that it's difficult to understand much of anything in this series unless you have knowledge about the VN. I started watching some playthroughs of it after I saw the first episode, and everything is definitely a lot clearer & even easier to enjoy. I'm interested to see how things pan out... Clear is very cute. So is Noiz of course <3 |
 |
| Finally, Clear and Noiz! This week was so long... Wanna know how many episodes will be this. |
| Aoba instinctively knew how to play the game; is evidently good enough at the game to have a mysterious organization keep a watch on him; and has memory loss. This show's en route for a predictable and generic plot, but Im still very interested in it. Cant get enough of that OP. |
~my list
 So Aoba used to play in Rhyme but he has no recollection of his memories?The visuals in this episode were amazing as usual, oh god I can't get enough of the ending. What's with the cliffhanger?! Noiz?! Dammit ;_; can't wait |

I wanna enjoy this anime to the fullest and I hope they give us some even if just glimpses of the romance, that's what got me into this anime after all. Which playthrough should I want and how many? I don't wanna get spoiled :X Just wanna understand more |

| Wow! This episode went way better than I expected (episode 1 was a little let down, but this one have a solid 4/5 in the categories of adaptation and pacing). Unfortunatelly, the animation, just like Hamatora is pretty much meh, but nothing that can stop you having fun watching. For people who are lost (non-VN-readers), I think next episode or episode 4 (depending of the pace) will have some fresh "infodump" (not really) that will clarify some things. Kinda hyped for the next one right now xD |

| Thank God, I decided to start playing the VN yesterday (almost wrap up Koujaku bad end route) or else I might not understand wth is even going on in this episode (although I must be thankful for the additional scenes but I'm still underwhelmed by the fact that NAZ is very lazy with the animation) Though I'll forgive NAZ for this episode bC CLEAAAAARRRRRRRRRR awwww BABYYYYYY!! |
 |
| Once again Noiz concludes ep2. Cant wait for next ep >< its time to see if they.... .__. |
| OMG! I totally started fangirl-ing when I saw Clear and Noiz! My baby and my husband! This episode might've been better than the first. And I can see some yaoi showing through more. *Please let this show be at least shonen ai! Please!!* |
| Just waiting y’know...for death. If you also are waiting for sweet death...cool (・u・) My list that has slightly more watched than PTW anime. |
| ye this episode was less confusing i wonder if aoba has memories that simply have to come up, or he just has double personality |
 |
| Seems like the series is going on the true route while omitting the romance-developing moments. So, no chance of BL happening. Just hoping it won't have a harem ending... But that won't stop my fangirling xD |

But you know what this scene made me think of? At one point in the game (Koujaku's good end), when Koujaku is And in this scene we can hear a couple of sighs, and yet Aoba's lips are not moving. Of course it's just lazy animation, but still it made me think of you-know-who watching him and breathing heavily. ;) |
| I still have no idea what this anime is about, but I am really enjoying it so far. Wish we got VN games in North America so I could know more about this anime! |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| This episode was definitely better than the first. It seems like Aoba has some sort of latent power that will be useful down the line. But when Ren started talking about "newer models" of All-Mates...I thought of what would happen if your robo-animal overheated or something and you had to get rid of it...how tragic O_o |

| I got to see my baby, Clear, geez he's so cute. I wish they could add some shounen-ai to this, agh kinda frustrating. |
 |
| the awkward cat scene and that weird hair stylist guy "master" fetish... and I absolutely cannot stand this weird blue guy who gets hurt if you touch his hair? thinking about dropping this |
 |
| How much budget do they have for this, because the animation is fucking awful! Although I'm still thoroughly enjoying it, I think people who've played the VN will definitely enjoy it more than people who haven't. Though it's a good adaptation so far. :D It's really nice to see some of the scenes played out that were only explained in the VN. Ren looks so retarded sometimes but I'm enjoying it. Aoba is my bae lol. Can't wait for next week again. I need to actually play more of the routes jfc. But yeah, I feel sorry for the people who haven't played the VN who have just jumped into this, good god they must think it's a fucking mess! |

parfaited said: Oh Noiz so dramatic. The close-up art is really good but the further away Aoba was the more derpy he looked. I try to not let it bother me but ignoring it is kind of difficult when it happens frequently. Glad I'm not the only one, but seriously And many more. There are too much derp Aoba |
 |
| Hmm they added a new scene which was interesting and not bad it hinted at some things in Koujaku's route, but they also changed up a scene Or maybe I'm just remembering shit wrong. Regardless, it was a well paced episode. The animation kind of took a dive at the scene with Clear but still not bad! Enjoying this so far, much better than I expected. |
| lol they gave the trash bin a jet pack |
antipurefaith said: lol they gave the trash bin a jet pack They got CRT computer monitors but a trash bin with a jet pack. Alright. |
|
| The BGM during the Rhyme fight was great! I love how they added the little part after Aoba checked Ren, made me chuckle hard.. And Koujaku sounds more like himself now. Overall the drawing quality looks a bit sloppy and awkward to me but it's not unbearable. Also a sneak peek at Sei so early in the anime! So happy :D |
| I like colorful animation. Aoba and Ren - so sweet. |
| I thought the animation was better this ep oO or it might be cause I got used to it ^^" Anyway Ren was kinda cute xD Saw that it's not tagged Shounen-ai anymore... oO |

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what happened, actually I wish they'd included that scene. Maybe they'll put it in later because it leads up to some pretty important events . |
| I'm still very confused with the whole plot but the concept is interesting.. |

| Aaaaand I remember why I liked Clear so much while playing the game. Seeing his first scene animated was just so cute. The way jumps about so quirky-like, and how he got weirdly kicked in the ass! I hope that this series isn't a 12 ep, though, otherwise I have absolutely no hope they will be able to pull off the plot to make it complete. Even if they screw the romance, it would still be pretty impossible to condense the plot from a 15 or so hour V/N into 5 hours of anime. Let's hope it's 24 at least for narrative sake. |
| It's interesting as a series. If you're like me I'm sure It'll be difficult to follow. Luckily I'm quote capable of making out whats going on for the most part. |

| not really sure why i'm watching this |
 |
| So Aoba's hair has nerves... Either his hair grows really slow or he's had some incredibly painful haircuts |
| i don't know everything, i only know what i know also your waifu is shit |
| The animation was really horrible, it's like if they didn't care at all. Reminds me of Studio DEEN. |

I don't wanna get spoiled :X Just wanna understand more Yeah, definitely watch some people have uploaded. That, or play the VN yourself. Its really good actually! I started it myself yesterday. Anyways, you can look playthroughs up on youtube, it's not hard to find. As for the number of videos you should watch... I can't exactly give you a number, but Aoba basically explains how things work in the Old Residential District early on in the VN. (Also it's really difficult to not get spoiled when looking stuff up on the internet because DMMd is so popular.... this is spoken from experience.) |
|
| The pacing was kinda slow, but the VN was quite slow too anyway. But in the VN, the first part was slow because it explains thoroughly about Ribs, Rhyme, Morphine etc etc. But the Anime was slow for some reason idk, yet they haven't explained properly...? ;; I mean, I'm loving the adaptation so far, but I have a 50-50 thought about this. For people who played the game, it's just okay because you can still catch up with what is happening anyway. But for people who didn't, it might be really confusing D: Which is pretty sad because I think dmmd has a really nice plot and it's such a waste if people will drop it because the adaptation can't explain things properly. Suggestion for people who are confused: Watch at least the first few minutes in the VN. There should be some in YT. Everything is explained well. But I'm quite confused. Noiz appeared at Heibon.....? |

| The drop in the animation and art is just blatant, there's some rather noticeable QUALITY all along the episode, not really fond of the few scenes they twisted (was Aoba that much of a bully towards Clear when they first met ? Don't think so). Noiz's really the big highlight of this episode. |
