Feyris is so cute!!!!

Also, Okabe really needs to stop the D-mails because it keeps setting him back further.

Funny how almost everyone who helps out wants to change at least one thing in their past, but I admit, I would be the same. I already know what I would write and to which point in time I would send it back...

Nice job though, one mail changed the whole city xD 5/5.

I don't have anything I would change in my life that has happened until now. Though I wasted a year or 3 until I came to know anime. But not something that's really important. Maybe if I'm older xD.

The phone call was hilarious, and I liked how he bowed even though she can't see him. I'm curious to see what that message said, but I doubt we'll ever find out.

Hmmm, did Feris use the Dmail to prevent her dad from dying at some point within 10 years?

If so, that's gonna be a major shift! Every time a Dmail is sent we see these orange numbers appear, flickering around and usually settling on 0.4 to 0.6 at times. I presume this is the divergence number, and if it every goes above 1.0, then Okarin has fulfilled Titors wish.

Also, not knowing what people are sending back is a terrible error, each time is the chance for a great experiment. I presume Shining finger tried to use that to steal the IBM 5100 but got it wrong and it failed.

And if Okarin keeps remembering all the different eventualities every time the past is changed he's gonna give him,self a brain hemmorage just like in that episode of the Outer Limits where the woman kept jumping back in time to kill rapists before they attacked the women! Excellent stuff!

Yep, because because no one in their right mind would be amazed by all the changes on that street. Stores changing and so on.

Anyway, great fucking episode. I'm starting to understand the hype.

Lol, an Xzibit meme? Lol, "Neraiyo!" He's got some many nicknames for Kurisu now.

Dayum, remembering exactly what happens every time you decide the fuck the world up must be a lot of stress.

So why the fuck do you keep letting people send their own random, personal D-Mails?

Deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole they dive and otaku paradise is now gone. I get the feeling that things are really gonna get bad at some point. And I'm not even at episode 10 yet!

And is this turning into a harem anime?

That was fucking orgasmic! OF COURSE the message needs to be checked before sending it, Okarin should have known best, even if it's privacy, the contents of the message could affect everyone... and it just did.

So simple, and yet so epic of an ending, I understand the hype now, and I still haven't watched half of it.

In theory, when an D-mail is sent the present time line is dividing into another branch and everything is happening in that new branch.
But the situation with Moeka is strange???When she sent the D-mail, she disappeared from memories of all lab members so the time line has changed so later everything continued in the time line that everybody didn't know Moeka so how senting another D-mail by Ruka changed it that Moeka was known???
It's no logical to me because the new time line after Ruka D-mail has branched(was separated) from the time line that Moeka wasn't know by lab members???
So how it's happend they jumped to another time line that Moeka was known but in other hand they cannot change (jump into another) the time lines whether they can???

Also ~ What exactly did Mayushii mean when she said, "I feel like I'm gonna lose him"? Was she referring to Okabe's chemistry with Kurisu or just something completely different?


Each time the past is changed, Okabe becomes a little bit more distant. He tries to describe his memories to everyone, but they don't even know whether to believe him or not. Pretty much, he's experienced things that the others haven't and that makes communication with them awkward for him. Take the incident with the Metal Upa in this episode. He phrases the question, "You're still looking for a Metal Upa?", to which Mayuri is confused. To her, collecting Upas has been her hobby. But to Okabe, she already got a Metal Upa once and he's surprised that she's still looking for one in this other "world line".

By retaining his memories, Okabe is essentially traversing between world lines. While the people he knows may be the same, everything is foreign to him. And the more he does that, the more distant he'll become.

THAT"S CRAZY. Akihabara without any anime. No Otaku's paradise. Now we know what the message was. Something like don't bring any moe things to Akihabara. That world can never go back to normal because they keep changing the world.

i was thinking that she wanted her dad to stay with her. before the dad wasnt there, but there was a butler. she ended up "moe"ing up the place while the dad was gone. now that he's here, she didnt do that.

If anyone can help me out please do...

I got totally thrown off this episode...

Okay so Okabe, Christina and the group were talking about "Physical Time Travel." Christina then comments about Okabe being the guinea pig for the next experiment and jokes that Okabe is scared to turn into jelly.

Next, Okabe discusses about getting more info using the IBN 5100, however the group has no recollection of ever having the PC at all.

Now hear's where I get confused...

In earlier episodes Okabe, Christina and Itaru discovered this phenomenon that traveling physically back in time turns human's into "jelly." But they find this info by looking at the Jellyman report/photo's when hacking into SERN and decoded the info using the IBN 5100.

So overall, my question is...

How do the lab members know of this Jelly phenomenon when this knowledge from the report can only be obtained with the IBN 5100 decoding capabilities????

Wow I totally love this show! The setting is great, voice actors are superb, awesome story and really interesting material. Humor is very good as well.

Now I was going to say that the butterfly effect in this series was very limited but then I saw the end. Complete districts not being developed into what they should be is a great effect. Yet I surprises me that almost all of the lab members are still present. You wouldn't have expected that they still know Feyris. If Akihabara never became the electronics paradise, without the maid cafe, how could they have met?

Also we don't know if they succeeded in making the boy a girl. If they did succeed I would have expected a lot more changes.

edit: I see, it's still an electronics district but no moe. Still a big change

Makise: *slowly turns to him* Okabe...
Okabe: *starts laughing evilly* *talks to phone* Just as planned, she fell for it! Now I can use her for all the grunt work!
