| Nooooo HER HAIR. Dear god why :(. Hopefully it grows back. |
 |
| So now we know why her hair was cut in the first episode. |

| Pretty 'stellar' episode as usual. I'm really loving how much thought has gone into the creation of the Jinrui world and just how much fantasy they've been able to pull off in the settings. I think this arc was rather deep in particular and the relationship of fairies and humans is really well thought out and explained 'logically'. I have some commentary and analysis here on the entire arc if anyone's interested in a bit of a read. |
| ^Seeing as two space probes somehow evolved into self aware robots mounted with weapons, I don't think they were going for scientific accuracy. |
| Pion was pioneer & Oyage was voyager..& both of them were robots too.Her hair is short again. |
 |
| This show amazed me again, sure not everything was realistic but that isn't what this show is aiming for. Her hair is short again, I wonder if this was a prequel or another hair cut. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |

| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Another very fascinating episode. On both terms of Human’s Decline and that of space exploration. I however found it TOTALLY STUPID to make probes have feelings not to mention dragging out the end and finally Watashi did WHAT? Sabotage? WHAT? For who? I can’t even believe the following,  WTF? How did she even use that? Oh wait in the spoiler Instead it was not like that at all. At least she got the fairies back and the probes on hold whom really serve no purpose on Earth other than quenching their loneliness and coming back for some other episodes of this series. That being said some short comments. Find that Pion in the spoiler Totally hilarious duet between Oyage and Pion in the spoiler The most fascinating comes after the above part in the following,  Totally amazing! Along with the spoiler Now that being said I was RAGING in the spoiler The whole monster fight in the spoiler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautilus A rather legendary monster. I for one as much as many out there screamed for VOYAGER AND PIONEER! In the spoiler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_program http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_program And Pion is the latest one the 11 series. Both links explaining marvelously of those 2 probes. A rather strong achievement of humanity before its decline indeed. So the few things a the end were really dumb. Like the emotions in the spoiler Regardless of the bitching it was still good. They should try not to DRAG out stuff like at the end. It leaves a sour taste TBH. Excellent space exploration references. They do deserve:  I will leave it at that. BTW Image Stitches and Pic Dump in the BLOG: http://ecchiking99.blogspot.ca/2012/08/image-stitches-and-pic-dump-of-jinrui.html Some nice ones of Oyage and Watashi. |
| Yumekichi give it a Orson Welles gif. Such a achivement... |
|
| @Yumekichi11 I like your picture-filled posts with panoramic effort but you again went full retard overanalyzing, just like that time with ep03. You want no fairies? Why watching the show then. And there won't be any of them if it is about electricity. |
| Good episode :) I'm glad that Pion and Oyage will be staying; I like them. Anyone else think of Disney's Pocahontas when Pion and Watashi went to see Oyage in that tent (tent-like thing)? |
| God... Are some of you really getting the plot? 'cause I do not. Damn ain't sure if I should read the manga instead though... can any1 tell me what just happened in the last minutes? they said something about batteries being recharged or something didn't really get that. |

ChitOKun said: No I did not say that but I mention the end results consequences. @Yumekichi11 I like your picture-filled posts with panoramic effort but you again went full retard over-analyzing, just like that time with ep03. You want no fairies? Why watching the show then. And there won't be any of them if it is about electricity. I did not mean to emphasize on any fairy hatred but it does irk when humanity is declining of all people one who is a mediator sides with fairies and not humans who are more in need since they are declining. I need to see more than fairies just providing protection. Like for example can do do more than providing provisions and preventing bad luck? Electricity at least would have at least make humans work more around and stuff. So all in all it's not about fairies but more their worth VS the worth of getting rid of electricity for their survival and stopping humans from using it. It's a rather complex debate but in thee end I think humanity may decline less with electricity and fairies trying to coexist instead of whining about it being death for them. Analyzing this show is worth the time TBH. It's rather philosophical IMO. |
| I still think that since humanity managed to decline to the point we have it in anime while having electricity then there's no use going back. It's time for fairies. |
ChitOKun said: That point is quite agreeable however it looked more to me humanity was moving far more and better with that electricity. That's all however let's see how the fairies upon returning output their help.I still think that since humanity managed to decline to the point we have it in anime while having electricity then there's no use going back. It's time for fairies. Punishment was still harsh IMO. Well deserved but too harsh. |
| oyage was SO cuteee ,i loved his cat form |
 |
| While this was interesting as usual (I was especially impressed with the Pioneer Anomaly reference), this dipped into the area I was hoping it would avoid, i.e. being overly surreal without purpose. I also didn't agree with the message in this one, nor its implications, but that's not pertinent to my feelings on the episode. Despite that, I still quite enjoyed this arc, but it did not meet what I've come to expect. |
| And just like that, Assistant cements his awesomeness as one of the best silent protagonist you'll ever see.Another wonderfully weird ep and loved the dragon quest references. The inclusion of the pioneer anomaly was quite surprising and i enjoyed the anime's unique take on the phenomenon. The ending left me quite confused though, so did Pion and Oyage have their batteries removed for the portable generators or were they actually converted into portable generators? Either way its quite depressing, 1 hour of cranking = 1 minute of power that would mean that they would have to wind for around 60 days just to get a day's worth of juice. |
 |
| The chronology is sort of wacky, right? So doesn't this take place before Watashi used that magic hair growth thing? That's sort of my perception at least. Eh, didn't shine as great as the other arcs did. Hopefully the second half keeps up a better pace and message the the other ones had. |
 |
| What a confusing episode. Doesn't help that I watched this early in the morning. Overall, a weak arc. What happened to all the dark and surreal humor? |
| As expected, another hilarious episode. and with a touch of drama too~ probably my second favorite episode for this show so far~ (my favorite is the one with the chickens >_<) Funniest part was this  "Shocking desu ne..." XD And... NOBUYUKI HIYAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Made this episode even more hilarious and SO much more worth watching ( ; w ; ) |

| Oyage and Pion's story was quite sad. |
| didnt think it was the best arc yet.... but it was interesting that they talked about Pioneer and Voyager from NASA. and i guess it's related to ep1 where her hair is cut short, and we can also see the crater of where the monolith fell when we see the village for the first time. although im still a bit skeptical about the time jump in the story. |
| Well done Japan! Now I feel sad for space probes, excellent job! I always wondered though...if we ever reach such a high technological level that interstellar travel becomes a possibility, will an organization one day reclaim the probes if they are still out there and bring them home? I loved Assistant's drawings and Watashi as usual. Before she confiscated the armor and when she acted all innocent. 5/5 great episode, loved it. |
| No, she's cut her hair again! EDIT: Ah, it seems that this story was before first episode ;D. |

| I was right that she was the monolith!!! Didn't expect that they were space probes that turned into humans. Nice episode as always. |

| Am I the only one here who's perplexed as to why Watashi's walkie-talkie worked in this episode, when we clearly see a scene of them running out of battery power in the previous one? Is this just lazy and forgetful writing, or did Pion actually recharge it with her electrical cat powers? If so, where's the scene, I wanna watch it! =( |

| Still waiting for something as epic as the first arc... |
  |
| Great episode was quite nice and funny especially with that huge cat and was that a big dady reference with that old diving suit and drill on his right hand? Either way quite an interesting episode! Up to the next one! |
 |
| big daddy satellites that can turn into humans and gigantic cats, and build bulldozers. yeah this anime is hard on the drugs |
 |
| I have no idea what I'm watching and I love it. |
| Huh, BIG BATTLE! ... Kind of? :P He transformed into a huge cat ... well, that's certainly interesting o_O Once again Pion shows up to save the day! :P So it turns out they were actually Voyager and Pioneer ... spacecrafts huh? That was certainly unexpected :O They were living all this time and just wanted to come on home ... awww :( Well we certainly DO send them out there for a long time in the cold ... D: Guess this takes place before the first episode since she had to cut off her hair because she let them stay here with us :P Interesting talk about the microwaves though! I mean, the fairies avoid them but they help to repair the memories of the probes? Plus she used it to attack Oyage when he was in his cat form ... curious and curiouser ;O |
| This is becoming too random and unserious for me. |
 |
Shocked said: I have no idea what I'm watching and I love it. I guess my thoughts exactly. |
 |
| This is weird. I just finished this anime today and watched 2001: A Space Odyssey, so now I totally get the monolith reference in this episode. Definitely re-watching. |
| 5/5 The plot remains mysterious, but at the end of the tunnel there is always light and despite being weird story, in the end there is also room for anything else. Telling funny and touching. Watashi increasingly MC! Not bad at the technical and graphics. |
 |
| Hmm I wonder why Pion can't see the fairy. Is the fairy really even there? dun dun dun... Well probes being self-aware and becoming humanoids was kind of random but I found myself not caring. I was just so hooked XD |

| Sometimes I really have no idea what's going on in this show... |
| Really good episode, the second best of this show. Really good anime :D |
  |
| I was expected the hair to fight back to avoid the haircut. |
