----------------------------------------


I liked the latest episode as Airi begins with her little talk.

I also liked Nae making her appearance from Steins;Gate. Finally! Her drawings were kinda funny. It wasn't that bad but still was still funny. I like her enthusiasm this episode as well. I like that energetic personality of her's.

The scene when Kaito was falling was strange to watch. It happens in slow motion yet he falls head first. I found Kaito and Akiho's talk during the rain emotional but overall well executed.

Even that creepy girl got caught, too. An offer from the space team (JAXA) to make robot (and recommended by the optimistic girl's father?)? And she refused?

Kimishima Reports has 7? That was dangerous during the typhoon. Now the girl knows about the AI.

Weird to see Nae compared to S;G, still cool though.

Anyways, would like to see them make some more ROBAWTOS soon.

Damn, Kai on one side sure is lucky to have this syndrome.If not it's symptoms and Aki he would have really died.Im glad that he wanted to help Airi though.Hes always like ''NO!'' or ''win with me in Kill Ballad'', which kinda annoyed me.Glad to see his good points as well.
Nae! finally! you still so cute! + ''She gathered and build and research! i love people like that!'' - yes, we know :D
The Committee of 300 huh.Now im interested.

5/5 as always.

Can't get my head around the new Nae. And she says she likes people who gather people to build and research, not unlike a certain mad scientist, might I add! My brain is confuzzled. Interesting ep nonetheless.

ugh. This episode was ok, but disappointing. I was expecting Nae's kidnapping to be more serious than it turned out, I didn't really like her being so similar to Aki, and though I can't really complain, I wanted Nae to flash to the Steins;Gate people at some point. That would have been awesome.

The kou files were the backbone of the conspiracy in the show, and the way that they were dealt with really deflated the intensity of the mystery. Not only was the unlocking method needlessly silly, but the payoff wasn't even that great.

Kai STILL going on about kill-ballad was a letdown as well, I need that guy to start doing some work.

Finally, Aki meeting and getting to know Airi off screen was also disappointing, as that would have been great to watch.

The rest was fair, but this episode has for the first time made me seriously doubt whether the plot is going to end up anywhere significant. I mean, by this same episode Steins;Gate had already gotten over it's infamous slow start, and we knew from the beginning that something big was going on. This show? I feel like whatever is going on is going to be a bit silly atm...

Last week, when the Nae showed up with the black vans I thought that it would be something sinister and evil like CERN in S;G. I was so disappointed when it turned out to be completely opposite. Who would've expected the quiet little girl would become a psychopath to be so happy and energetic like Aki. At least Nae is cute like Aki.

I wish they didn't rush some of the things in this episode since they're some pretty big things, but I also understand that they didn't want to drag down the show and have people complain about like in S;G.

Overall, I liked this episode. 4/5

The plot thickens.

Boy I wish I had that syndrome Kai has. It's such major hax :P

As for the Nae chick, I like her. She's a less energetic version of Aki which is cool.

Also her MAL page says she's the same Nae from S:G?! Interesting if true. I'm all for crossovers.

This. I'm also curious about that. From the spoilers I've heard about, the Nae in S;G was nothing like the one in R;N. However, seeing how R;N, S;G, and C;H are all in the same setting, a crossover is entirely possible.

They did a good job of making the S;G character completely annoying as all hell.

The whole kidnapping process was uber realistic too, pull up in suits and vans, when you could of just peacefully asked for a meeting.

Kai is inconsistent as all hell, at some moments he is fine with helping, other moments he 180's to his "beat me at Kill-ballad" attitude. On top of this, we get plot induced stupidity, he could of waited for the storm to pass, but no, he has to make a scene by making shitty decisions.

This show is failing to show any signs of something that will get good outside of it's plot.

I can't stand the characters for the life of me.

He's like a male tsundere almost lol. But seriously, he had to press the button because it said the button had to be pressed after 1 hour, and the dish could have very easily broken in the storm which would have caused the flag to become inaccessible.

Anyone else hoping they'll do crossovers with characters other than Nae as well? It would be awesome to see Okabe or Kurisu!

In other words, they don't have anything to do with Robotics;Notes. I'm saying there will be other "recurring" characters but not specifically them.

About the Seed destiny thing, I'm just worried that people will ask Okabe-okabe, and then forgeting who's the main characters.. lol same thing with Shin and Kira.

Yes. R;N should be watched as a standalone title. It's good to know sum references tho.

Hm Kai's investigation on Kimijima Kou this episode was the focus this episode. Kai almost dies trying to help the AI with what she needs but luckily his slow motion from the accident when he was a kid kicks in. That sure is one useful ability though it hurts him a lot. I really liked the contrast from Airi's point of view when she's only seeing the antenna with the calm weather since her world doesn't render rain. It juxtaposed very nicely with Kai's point of view.

Nae's kidnapping from the last episode was shown misleading but still good nonetheless. At least Aki sticks to her guns and which I really like about her. Slow build up as usual on R;N, fingers crossed that the payoff is big.

This show needs more pain and suffering. And more Aki-chan. Aki-chan is never enough.
As for the episode itself, there was some good moments but overall still way below of my expectations.

LOL, we have two hyper girls now. I don't think I would be able to keep up so I wonder how lazy Kai will be able to. Oh wait, he will most likely be "No, play me in Kill Ballad first," or "I don't want to." Something along those lines I guess.

Yea, that typhoon part was real smart. Think more before taking action Kai, jeez.

BTW typhoon or not, protecting whatever-that-thing-is was a right choice. However he could bring some stick or something so he can reach that button easier. Also it was SO obvious that he is going to fall, it was possible to make predictions like "1 min till he falls!"

Last episodes cliffhanger made me really exited, but what a disappointment. As always, the last part made up for it though, I want to see the story progress already.
Nae seems like a really nice girl, but I do really think that she has something up her sleeve.

This was quite disappointing. After the cliffhanger in the last episode, we get.... silly Nae? Definitely didn't expect her to be like that at all; but I've heard that R;N is much lighter than the previous two titles, so I guess I should've seen it coming.

Kai's scenes were quite good, though. Airi continues being cute as ever. c:

This episode was great. Kagome-Kagome is a really nice, but creepy song.

I think that "Beat me on Kill-Ballad" is an instinctive thing for Kai to say, like for me it's "I'm hungry/I'm sleepy." Not really complaining, since I know that he really cares about Aki.

That last scene with them was so cute askfjakfa Aki x Kai ftw.

I doubt there will be flashback as affected people was unconscious. On the other hand somehow they should figure out what happened. Maybe after Kai will find some more reports... But most likely it was just an scientific(?) experiment. At least this is what 2nd report suggests.
