| Someone correct me if I am wrong, but weren't the seconds on the microwave related to the time the D-mail needs to go into the past? One second equalling one hour? Then 17 years would be 8766 hours x 17 (for a Julian year), which would mean 149022 seconds for the microwave in total. I doubt any microwave has that option. Also, the mail needed to be sent when the mother was pregnant, so it would be closer to 18 years. In any case, did they forget about that time rule? Or did they come up with a work around? Why wasn't it explained and is it explained in the VN? |

If you rewatch episode, you can get it. |

| Now I have a feeling that Okarin is not only able to maintain his memory from previous line, but also include some power involve with his intention of each mail. I can hardly be convinced that just telling Ruka's mom to eat vegetable and she will get the message, or do so, or turn him into her by doing so. I'm thinking that Okarin intend to change the past so it changed, something like Takumi could do in ChaoS;HEAd |

| Wow moeka disapeared and the IBN too. i bet she changed the mail she sent to her past self so she could steal the computer... TUTURU~~~~ |
 |
| "Reading steiner" xD I think too that Ruka could have become a girl, but yeah, it could be a trap too xD |
| Fantastic episode as usual. I've never been into traps, so I'm glad that...Urushibara-san got changed (at least I'm with the majority, it was heavily implied that the sex change operation...mission was a success.) 5/5, can hardly wait for the next episode. I also wonder what Moeka is up to. |
| Moeka you sly girl. |
 |
| ahhhh suspense! What evidently changed? I wonder.. awesome episode!:D |
 |
RealScreamer said: ~Tuturu! Decent episode. I also think Ruka became a girl - Mayuri from the other time universe wouldn't have agreed with Kurisu about Okarin being a pervert for looking @ Ruka(seeing as Mayuri knew he was a male and Kurisu didn't..) Had me LOL: Lol It was only a matter of time |
 |

| -This is quite lesbian -Except Rukako’s a guy -Which makes it even better xD -My soul has been devoured – well, Okarin just gone too far this time :D Rukako is officially gay >.< Isn’t changing someone’s gender a bad idea?(his is the first cleaver thing I hear from Daru :D) Nichibotsu-kaeru said: wow, this show really knows how to keep me interested and looking forward to next week. Yeah, like totally. I didn't watch other show, whit episodes ending like this. It's like I can never say what will happen in then next episode :O Anyway, I got good idea about how can he assure his team, that he really changes the past with D-mails. |

| it's a harem, relax, everyone will get a turn to use the phone or microwave thingy (name subject to change.) |

| hmm.. ==" so Ruka did became a girl..? -sulks- i'd rather have him as a boy! TT^TT i think in Episodes 9, i saw him wearing a Seifuku under the tree.. >< which made me really think maybe he DID became a girl! >< though i wanna refuse to believe but.. >< sigh~ OKAY! I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID!! TT^TT HE DID BECAME A SHE! UWAH! TT^TT |
| If there was an undo all option, this could certainly be a really fun activity. |
 |
| Oh come on, they should know better than to think that you can tell if someone is male or female by their chest. -SumeragiTaiyou said: i'd rather have him as a boy! TT^TT Hear hear! |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
blackangel24 said: i have a feeling that ruka did become a girl Same here, now i think i can say she is kawaii and not feel awkward about it lol still...its a trap alright..and a very good one..DAMN! |
 |
| I guess we'll find out for sure if Ruka became a girl next ep. (But eating vegetables makes you a girl? Haha, what bullshit.) Interesting -- the whole "you're a pervert / no I'm a pervert gentleman" thing happened with Okabe outside talking to Suzuha before, and in this ep he was in the room for it. |
| The show had to explain what pagers are... my first "feel-old" moment... :p |
| little late but now i understand what happen from the 1st episode and what the heck was that name, reading stainer??? again past changed, and what was changed really awesome anime |
 |
ukonkivi said: Oh come on, they should know better than to think that you can tell if someone is male or female by their chest. -SumeragiTaiyou said: i'd rather have him as a boy! TT^TT Hear hear! I agree, mostly because Ruka being a boy was basically what kept him as a somewhat important element in the series up until now. I love Ruka and I feel like making him a girl caused him to just blend in with the other girls. |
 |
| Bah! What are these time-cowboys doing? Changing something so far in the past is just asking for a causality clusterfuck, and what is the point in a change like boy to girl, if you're never going to remember the change or what it was like before. Bah, kids these days! Speaking of kids these days, none of them had heard of pagers? Bah! I'm off to grab my walking stick, claim my pension and shake my fist at the sky. Ooooh, me backs hurting! |
 |
| geez i wish i folowed this show earlier |
  |
| I'd imagine it would be very easy to get over excited and over step your bounds in a case like this and I have a feeling they are getting very close to it. I find the idea that you can find out sex purely by the chest unbelievable, though. |

| TU-TU-RUUUU!!! |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Tuturuuu Ruka is definitely the biggest trap since Alto Saotome in full kabuki outfit |

| Well, I think Ruka became a girl since before the experiment Mayuri used to reffer to him as "Ruka-kun" and after the D-Mail was sent, she called him "Ruka-chan". |
| Well if he'd stay like this despite being a boy, then I'd rather he be a girl. Needs more awesome males, this show. Though Okarin more than makes up for 10 of them. And he has guts changing the past, considering the consequences. Just an SMS can eradicate memories and has the potential to cause major catastrophes. I wish Kurisu else also had the 'Reading Steiner' ability. |

Oosran said: And despite Okarin being aware that the past changed, he still takes forever to realize that something actually changed. Oh well, it's just a minor flaw of his, I guess. And Moeka's as fast as always when it comes to replying. Oh Dal. You pervert Oh Ruka, finally. Now I won't have to feel bad for liking a trap. On another note, the VN's so full of awesome lines that 90% here won't ever hear. It's kind of sad. And instead, they add a bunch of "tuturuu"s in places where there weren't any to begin with. From what I understand he retains the memories of the timeline before the message is sent and the timeline that is created after sending the message. If you think about it, that's a lot of memories there and it would only be natural for the "older" memories to overshadow the new ones. Anyway the plot is certainly advancing fast now, it's at that point where the viewer simply needs to know what's coming next! |
 |
| For a moment I thought Moeko really disappeared =X Akemi_Riverdepp said: Well, I think Ruka became a girl since before the experiment Mayuri used to reffer to him as "Ruka-kun" and after the D-Mail was sent, she called him "Ruka-chan". Yeah, I noticed that one too. But it looks like Okarin still thinks Ruka as a boy. I wonder what will happen next? Still, that cosplay changing scene is very funny! |
 |
| WOAH. I felt they introduced this plot idea in a really rushed way, but it had to happen sometime and now was a good place. Good pacing! Wait, why would the phone beep for a new message when it was sent 5 days ago? Hmm. Anyways, this show is really amazing. 5/5 |
| The comedy part is making this series even more awesome. Daru you really are a pervert gentleman. |
 |
 -__-; LMAO! Her world is shattered...what is she to believe anymore? And sho many companions...er I mean "Lab Members." Lol not even The Doctor had this many at one point ;) |
| ~Believe in you! Not in the you who believes in me. Not in the me who believes in you. Believe in the you... that believes in you!~ |
| Fun fact: Eating veggies makes your child prone to coming out a female. |
 |
| After the excellent episode 7 another great episode, love the tense atmosphere with some jokes inserted in between, this is far better than what they did with some of the previous episodes. This episode had me glued to the scream during the entire time, this anime is definitely becoming more and more interesting. |
 |
| Oh no, this can`t end in the way Ruka-kun wants :S Don`t want that cutie to disappear :P Finished: Humhum. |

| I liked Ruka as a boy.. ;~; |
guidodi said: I have a question about this episode. Some episodes ago they explained that every second on the timer is hour into the past.... So to send a message to 18 years ago it would have to be a huge number, but the timer in the anime says 120 second and that is 5 days. Is this an error o does it have some explanation?? Keep watching :/ |
 |
| This episode was so full of win, made me laugh my ass off. And dat trap boy was HOT when prompted to change into girl's clothes. |
 |
| I don't know what to say about this episode. Sometimes I think they're trying to get serious, then I see Ruka doing cosplay. |
 |
| I have a feeling Ruka turned into a girl by observing the way they acted. |
