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.

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.

Didn't expect this episode to be mostly about robots, but it was a rather welcomed change of pace.

Kento was an interesting character and offered a bit of a contrast to Mirai and allowed her to gain some perspective on her own life.

But he's a bit too passionate about robots and put himself in harms way when there really was no need for that.

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.

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.


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.

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.

+2 that.

I mean robots can be remade, upgraded, and all that fancy crud. Lives can't be remade.

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?

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..?

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.

There are really no words for describing this episode and relating it to the previous ones.

But it should be mentioned how instead of robots saving humans, it is vice versa. [sarcasm on]Very interesting plot twist.[/sarcasm off]

dunno...my first thought was appendicitis

it's acute form mimics heatstroke, I've been told

also it's a really basic surgery when everything's working right, but in a disaster becomes really difficult.

Yuuki won't die XD I've got a feeling this show will have a happy ending. Or they will reach Mirai&Yuuki's house, find out their parents are dead and they will live with Mari and her family 8D
