| at the beginning, the BGM was similar to the pimip Reiji's BGM in Phantom :/ Robots! Just as predicted, the robots displayed in the robot exposition were presented.... the news anchor said that the death toll will probably reach 180000 casualties, which is few hundred times more than the numbers said in the first episodes..... LOL at Mirai that can't stop calling that guy robot otaku..... And whoa, Mirai is STRONG to be able to throw robots like that..... But c'mon, risking your life to save rescue robots defeats their purpose :/ And diseases are also part of the aftermath of a large scale earthquake, especially in a highly populated area..... |

| Any number of things could have happened to him. The most probably would be heat stroke or pneumonia. This episode was interesting to say the least. A boy's family is saved by a robot so he somehow feels obligated to safe robots. Sounds like he's lost touch with what a machine is :S. Good episode though. |

| The robots are back : D Hmm.. they just can't stop repeating themselves at the television, huh? Seems to start every broadcast with something similar to "This is the worst earthquake in Japanese history" etc. etc. etc. And also, how often do you start speaking of something traumatic that happened in your past with some people you just met? O.o *Blaarrgh* "I'm fine" *broad smile* yeah right you are <.< |

| At the first episodes I was annoyed with Mirai, but now it's with Yuuki. Anyhow, Kento was okay. Is it just me or is the chance high likely that we'll meet another new supporting character next episode and only stays for that episode, just like all the other episodes. I mean, it's not really weird for actually someone join the group or something. |

Oosran said: Hmm.. they just can't stop repeating themselves at the television, huh? Seems to start every broadcast with something similar to "This is the worst earthquake in Japanese history" etc. etc. etc. Yeah seriously. Every broadcast is pretty much the same. |
     |
| Agreed, Mirai is getting better in terms of not being so annoying. This epd just felt weird to me, the whole robot aspect of it all felt like I was watching some mixture between this and Ghost in the Shell. That Kento guy is interesting to say at least, never would I even think to put my life on the line for something that could just be rebuilt in hours/days. |
porkypink said: Not as Dramatic as the previous episodes but another great episode indeed. Very true. Glad to see that Mirai isn't as much of a jerk as she once was. |
 |
| Kento is an idiot, saving a robot. A production robot too, it's not like it's a prototype. And Mirai has a good character arc since she's becoming a better person. Yuuki is just retarded, running off without a care in the world, just to follow robots. And Mari's tank top should have been affected by the rain water. lazy bones animation... |

| Mirai is one buff girl to be swinging a robot back up to level ground. Even if it was mentioned that the robot was lightweight, it should still be pretty damn heavy. |
 |
| Cliffhanger ending, yay >_> JLS said: Seriously, you have to take that into account. Not that I'm saying it isn't annoying, (is most definitely is) but it's not really that surprising.ironchefflip said: Yuuki is just retarded, running off without a care in the world, just to follow robots.

| Wow, Tachikomas in my Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. -_- I liked how that robot Yuuki was chasing suddenly talked. Reality flash. ^^ Cliffhanger end. OH NOOOEEESSSS! Yuuki's got swine flu! D: |
| yuuki fainted o_olll he having a fever or something ? |
     |
| Kento is so adorable. ;A; ;A; Yuuki, no! Mari and Mirai should have decided to rest a day once Yuuki threw up. How can he walk in the heat after having heatstroke and throwing up the little bit of food and water he got down? Poor kid. :< |
| Nice episode. The robots definitely reminded me of Ghost in the Shell. I knew something was going to happen to Yuuki as soon as he said he was ok. This scenario seems to happen in so many anime. |
| Not as dramatic episode but yet again a 5/5. This anime is 5/5 all the way. Only 4 episodes left :( |
ntHai said: This episode had cool robots. I'm wondering if Japan has real ones too. Actually, most probably they do, since the show is after all based on a possible scenario. So it wouldn't surprise me if they do have these kinds of robots. And hey, it's Japan after all, so why not? I heard their defense department is working on a full-scale gundam.. So really, anything's possible in their country : D |

| Didn't think we'd have to wait until episode 7 to see the robots in action, but I suppose they wanted to build an entire episode around it. Kento clearly wasn't thinking when he risked his life to save the robot. Mirai was impressive. She's gotten quite tough. I'm glad Kento volunteered that he used to find his family annoying until they day he thought that he might lose them. Mirai could certainly related to it and hopefully, by knowing that her past behavior wasn't abnormal, it alleviated a little of the guilt she's been carrying with her. Agreed that people should really lay off on Yuuki. People twice his age could have just as easily done that, however unwise that decision might be. |
 |
Nonomiya Kento's story about his parents being rescued by robots was interesting and his sketches also. I do think he was stupid to try and save a robot trapped in rubble of a crumbling building but I get it why.  It was cute and touching for Mirai to have saved Kento and him saving Mirai after. In this scene.  On another note the robots were cool as well as frog references.Yuuki's sickness at the end is worrisome and I wonder what is it. I know he vomitted and had perhaps a high fever that was only speculated as a heat stroke. Also the numbers of casualties are frightening. |
 |
| I wonder what happened with Yuuki there. |

| You know what they say about nerds, "You shouldn't make fun of them because one day you'll be working for them." Since this show takes place in the near future, it's not surprising that they have robots like that. |

| People have been saying that Kento is an idiot, and I agree, but it's an idiocy that i accept and adds something to the series, especially given how important robots are to him, and especially his lackadaisical attitude to his own safety (which no one has mentioned by the way). He's a great character - straightforward, passionate, kinda irrational. Good episode actually (kinda suprising), though with 150,000 probably still in danger, the Japanese need a lot more manpower to even get to half of them. |
| Mirai/Kento :) Oh no Yuuki! D: What now? |

That Kento guy is interesting to say at least, never would I even think to put my life on the line for something that could just be rebuilt in hours/days. Didn't help that the robots looked a bit like mini Tachikomas. Was a good episode, overall. Mirai's getting better and better each episode and Kento didn't seem like a bad character at all. Just a bit of a robot fanatic. |
| I liked this episode. It showed Mirai's growth as a character, and thorough the use of Kento (who is an excellent cameo character, used properly), allowed her to think about what's important. That said, she and Mari fail for not noticing something bad was up with Yuuki earlier, and not being more forceful about his resting. Fever, delirium (frog baseball team), lack of appetite, and nausea are signs of something very serious. I'm going to guess that among other things, he's dehydrated and has heatstroke. Personally, I found this to be one of the more dynamic (and therefore better) episodes of the show. It manged to hit a lot of notes without any transition problems. |
| And there I was thinking everything went well this episode. good episode, not as good as the others tho. Sent with Mal Updater |
| じーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーっ |
| cool robots. i wonder if they use those in Japan now for emergencies. |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| I wouldn't wonder if Yuuki actually would die in this anime. All the talk about going to the convention again together is just the perfect setup for such a drama. |
| Boring episode with a bad Cliffhanger. |
| Poor little Yuuki! |

Oosran said: Hmm.. they just can't stop repeating themselves at the television, huh? Seems to start every broadcast with something similar to "This is the worst earthquake in Japanese history" etc. etc. etc. Which seems pretty realistic to me since it was what they were doing when we got an earthquake, a few months ago. They will of course keep up with the number of casualties, damages and all that stuff, but every news you might watch would look always pretty much the same. Which is kinda normal in those situations, maybe? windy said: Kento is so adorable. ;A; ;A; Yuuki, no! Mari and Mirai should have decided to rest a day once Yuuki threw up.

| Overall, the episode was executed well, I think, but I wasn't very absorbed by it. Or maybe I'm just trying to watch anime on too little sleep..?

Which is kinda normal in those situations, maybe? It's realistic for repeating headlines like that. When I think back to 9/11, CNN pretty much had the same stuff running for weeks, if not months, afterwards. Here in TM 8.0, it's only been a couple of days and the events are still on-going. |
| I live in tokyo,and I want to buy a house in tokyo. But I worry to do it after watch this animathion.(^^; huuuuuum..... # Maybe my father's old house will be breaked by earthquake.(TT) |
| Fucking cliffhangers, also those robots reminds me of Tachikoma. |
