I lol'd @ Frau in the beginning tbh. Anyways, I liked this episode especially the duo of Frau and Kaito. Dem cave explorations. Wow, I love Frau in this series especially after this episode. Those speech mannerism, that face, and those expressions. :3

I found the latter half of the episode interesting as well.

LOL @ that weird girl. It's the first time that makes me laugh!! Like a "date" with her to find the report.

The report is very hard to solve for that weird girl's hacking.

The robots are sacrificed to attack the sun and that is bad for the earth?

God this episode! Gave me the same goosebumps I had after watching Steins;Gate Episode 12.

5/5. Best episode so far! Bumped my overall series rating to a 9/10!

frau owned this ep.

but damn holyyy shit this ep was so fucking winnn. that last episode i found so creepy. onnly 4 minutes and drawn so poorly as if it was rushed through with no dialogue, reminded me of what eva did like halfway through. who is kimijima kou. the one who found everything out, was found out, left clues to all of this. and wtf those top players were dead? dammit now i get to wait another week

Maybe that EXOSKELETON company murdered the anime staff because the Gunvarrel's last episode was going to be exactly the same as their plan...

Making the connections this episode I see and they're doing it surprisingly well. I enjoyed the latter half of this episode which made a number of interesting revelations in the story and joined the two halves of the story which is the Kimijima Reports and Gunvarrel.

Anyway I think the brakes are finally off and things will get crazy soon.

Ahahaha. I love how she incorporates internet slang...

And especially...
"like hacking SERN stealing their data."
Hahaha. Steins;Gate reference!!!

I love how everything is connecting now.
The Kill-Ballad players, the solar flare, and the Gunvarrel anime.

Can't wait for more!

i think what really happen here is that, kimijima kou is actually acquainted/mother of frau herself, she's trying to convey her research through the anime ganvarell, the last episode was cancelled because of that revelation and then killed all the staff and the director was missing (frau's mother), the killings might be done by SERN! since they failed to get in touch in the time machine, now they're trying to destroy the world by firing a laser to a specific spot of the sun to trigger the solar flare storm that will destroy humanity.

that's just what i think, i guess im too hype up since i loved steins gate XD

Special thanks to Gabu for this amazing avatar & sig set!!

Frau is so awesome and hilarious!! Probably the best character in R;N atm. :D Loved that Steins;Gate reference as well! xD

Those last few minutes were so intense and serious. So the events of last episode of Gunvarrel are exactly the same as what's described in Kimijima Kou's reports. Mind = blown. Frau's in a bit of a pickle of her own as well. Damn, can't wait to find out what happens next!

OK, so it was around here somehow that Steins;Gate took that turn from "cute and fun" anime to "extremely awesome hypest thing" if I recall correctly. It's been what? 4 episodes that I keep getting this vibe that "ok in the next episode things will get serious". It's stronger now so I hope it will go for it now. xD

(Maybe by stop telling Kai to stop looking into it and instead telling us more about Kou and then evil EXOSKELETON company attacks then? But with no time travel and instead a plot around robots, what will they do if things get serious? Oh yeah, I'm not hyped so far but I'm definetely curious alright, and that's a kind of good! ^^)

So small side track question here, is this the same thing that happens at steins gate ep 13 that everyone talks about?

I have tried to get into that show before but it was so slow, but if its the same as this then I really need to check it out, because I really liked the way the mood totally changed here.

can't believe how this has gone from a lighthearted mecha show to a huge world conspiracy about how the human race could be wiped out. I'm not too sure if i should continue to take it lightly but what i can say is I definitively can't wait to see what happens next, also believe there's not gonna be an episode airing next week but will resume week after.

Actually I was quite sure that the style would change e.g. Steins;Gate started in a similar slow way and became amazingly thrilling. Robotics;Note will hence go the same way.

Wow what a way to set up the second half of the series with an end of the world plot. All of the "cheaters" that Kai and Frau have been searching for have turned out to be dead plus the Kimijima Kou reports fortell the end of the world. Interesting enough the last episode of Gunvarrel also tells the same thing which connects to Frau's mom and the slaughter of the entire studio. Since the show has been setting all these pieces in place the revelations made a lot of sense and not pulled out of their ass unlike other shows this season that have done similar plot twists.

How is the Gun-Pro 2 going to factor into all this? Does it do something about the solar flares that will happen? Whatever happens I'm going to be along for the ride

Ok, that was pretty interesting revelation, this episode, but...
TOO MUCH for one episode.
I really afraid that it will be as horrendous anime-adaptation like anime of Chaos;Head was.
Just now it looked like:
Nothing happens>nothing happens>nothing happens>nothing happens>EVERYTHING HAPPENS AT THE SAME FREAKIN' TIME!
Just...


Production IG, hell, stop it already. Just do it right, please.
I dare you to make a shitty second half.
Episode was awful. 2 out of 5.
This is what happens when you trying to fit 10 hours of reading in 20 freakin minutes!
At least it feels exactly like that.

Imo.. The first part of this series, they were just trying to finish their giant robot plus Kai didn't really care about the report because it looks like someone jokes.... Then, things got fucked up in this episode when Kai flashed back to previous episodes and the new things from Frau and others.

Now, everything is almost set in the same place.. Hopefully lots of drama soon....

And the action starts *-* Much like Steins;Gate, things are getting serious.

But I mean, this is the pace of the games of nitroplus x 5pb and if you want a well done adaptation from VN to anime, you can't change the pace. The pace is pretty much like any traditional story driven games you find out there. The story AAAALWAYS starts slowly to progress into something awesome halfway to the end.

You can't tell that lots of facts being thrown on our face at this point is bad since it tells me that it will be as good as Steins;Gate.

And, DAAAAAAAMN *-* Kona-chan is just sooo fucking perverted. I don't know how Kai can stand it XD

oh man it took waaaaay too long to get to the serious point.(actually to get finally interesting to me) cant give it a better rating that 6.5-7/10 at this point just for wasting my time with useless episodes which did add absolutely nothing to the main story most of the time. still there are 11 more to go and this can still turn out to be a great show. but sofar its alrite at best.

lets all hope for the best :)

Wow!
It's seems like this is just like Steins;Gate in this aspect: It started being fun and entertaining, but nothing more.
Now it's getting dramatic!
Also, it's wesome how they timed it that there is a episode all about the end of the world on the (believed by some) end of the world XD
Also nice reference to Steins;Gate when they were talking about "that's as hard as hacking the SERN system" or something like that! :-D
Looking forward to next week or wait...we'll have to wait longer :-(
