John_h said: How does that even matter at all? It makes sense that they haven't mentioned this before, as it was obviously an unpleasant experience for everyone involved and there was no reason for the characters to just dump exposition about their past (actually, quite the opposite is the case, because why would you try and scare the guy who's just joined?). Honestly, it would've been way worse if they had just given us the information without any context. We'll see whether or not this context will matter later on, it could be that they'll take this for the grand finale I'm sorry I don't know which part you're talking about? The private security or the wanderer incident three years ago? But made one thing clear, foreshadowing is not equal to exposition. John_h said: In any case, it's way too early to blame the show for something that it might not even be guilty of. At the moment, your criticism isn't even remotely valid, as it's based off mere assumptions. First of all, these are not assumptions, I made an educated guess based on the performance of the show so far and I reach the conclusion of "this show is poorly written", then why should I expect anything better from the show before it does some merits to change my mind? I'm trying to consolidate my expectations based on how the show is presented, and an empty promise that the show will be good later on when it's not even good half-way through, and even though some may think I'm nitpicking, but be sure when the show does something that is not cliché or rage-inducingly stupid (you can find a lot of these in episode 5), I'll be sure to notice that at once. Take the beginning of the episode 5 as an example (weird isn't it? You can find the best part and the worst part in the same episode): Notice the website on Tsukasa's computer?  I think that is neat. They didn't mention they would help the kid to find a shelter before but that's not important to the story when the story is about the kid losing his one and only loving family member in episode 4. But it did provide an closure to his situation (aside from the incident of course) in a non-intrusive and subtle way, just a pure visual indication done nicely, something that few anime does well. This is showing the anime actually care about the little details and not being lazy about it. I even mentioned it in the post I made in the episode 5 discussion. But sadly the show doesn't put the equal amount of thought into other elements. |

| So yeah.. This will probably get pretty dramatic in a few episodes, with Isla running out of time. Isla and Tsukasa probably end up dating before Isla starts to 'expire', huh? I kind of wanted to see Tsukasa ended up with Michiru.. But I guess that'll never happen, huh? Somehow I also have this feeling Isla won't really be retrieved or go mental when she's going past her expiration date.. But I guess I'll just wait and see. |
| Love this show! That smile.....  |

| Loli lived. I am now incredibly disappointed in the show. I thought it'd take the edgy-terrible route but instead went back to the bland and stale route. Oh well. Still as empty as ever, Plastic Memories. |

I really can't get my head around the mindset of people who continuously bitch about a particular show, but continue to watch it regardless. Do people get off on whining all the time? Seriously, I'm genuinely curious. Pretty good episode. Sure, it has it's flaws, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. Also that scene of Isla smiling was beautiful. |

All the "Isla smile is so beautiful" in this thread shows what really matter in this anime...Isla. All the plot is just an excuse, just something they put there so you can reach the end where Isla may disappear. Novangel said: Stop watching then.

The show started nicely and seemed to be a good anime to watch, but then you see that the plot has no importance and the fanservice is what matters here. People will complain about something that disappointed them. The anime is bad, but is not boring to watch. i can still keep watching it and see what they are going to do. Who knows, maybe we get a good end. (unlikely) |
I despise woke people. |
| Predictable yet very heart-warming episode. At the end though, I got mad at Tsukasa for interrupting Isla when she was trying to say, what ever she was going to say. I love the end-end though, lol. Really loved the part where Isla's face brightened up when Tsukasa made his commitment to Isla. |

Which really pisses me off. I'll watch all the episodes regardless, but I really hope for the anime to take a turn for the better later on. Like, please let Isla die instead of coming up with some lame way for her to escape her "inevitable retrieval". |

I think it would be good for a moving-on kind of thing. I don't think I'd be too happy if all these emotional retrievals end up with a way to save Isla. |

| Eru and Isla's scenes were funny. |
 |
| She smiles now! The love triangle develops... |
 |
| Lol that stalking. Did they really think they wouldn't be noticed in the shower? |
  |
| Her smile is so cute :') |
 |
| Nice flashback with Isla and Kazuki. It was funny to see Isla fell in love with Tsukasa. A cute episode on the bond between the two characters. |
| Dat smile, still crying... |
 |
| Aww. :"> |

| It seems that the story is taking its steps toward the focal point of the matter; the main plot is about to begin? I hope so with all my heart, the references to past issues han made the facts today's lighter, but there was no need for me to beat around the bush so much given the brevity of this TV series. Drawings with ups and downs, not bad the soundtrack. Isla is changing, hurray ! |
 |
| Right in the happy feels! Good episode, this series is really turning up =) And only about half-way through! |
rsc-pl said: dfsafsaf said: So Isla still stays in this show... well that's disappointing. You want best character to die in the middle of the show? Your post is disappointing. Get over it. Not everyone likes the same characters. I find Isla very boring, dull and bit pathetic, tho I don't want her to die before the last episode. |

I feel bad for just quoting this and not saying much else, but then again I don't really need to say anything. Too damn rushed... |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Another good episode, I can't believe how fast Isla changed. I'm glad she doesn't live in denial, about her relationship with Tsukasa, in what little time she has left. |

| I wonder what he'll do when the actual time comes :s |
 |
| That smile at the end.... I died. Isla falling in love with Tsukasa? Oh wew, not surprising. Pretty fun episode. 1000 hours left till deus ex machina writing to keep Isla alive. The OP video also slightly changed where Isla is smiling a bit, might reflected by the episodes. Where episode 6, she was genuinely happy. |
 |
| I hate how the show changes tones so quickly. Like one scene is sad, the next is pure comedy like Isla's spilling the drink on herself, then we have a teary scene with Souta crying, back to comedy in regards to Eru/Isla spying. I did enjoy Isla's cute side. The way she smiles when Tsukasa says he can't imagine himself being without Isla. Props to him for continuing to pull through. "Do..you..want..me?" - Isla Best line ever lol |
 |
| Stalking Tsukasa is funny too especially at the shower scene where Eru and Isla become the pervert. Talking about reverse situation, huh? I liked the romance at the end. Isla saying "want a dinner, want a bath, or is it me?" was a top notcher quote. Kyaaa~~~ <3 ♪───Ｏ（≧∇≦）Ｏ────♪ 3.9/5 ED song is feels as ever. |
 |
| That smile!!! Man I feel it, the finale is going to kill me. :( |
 |
| Now he knows her lifespan :s |
| SMILING ISLA OMG >x< ♥♥ |
 |
| "So she has 1 month to operate" Anyway here's this newlywed joke thrown afterwards. You can't write shit like this even if you tried. |
| i felt so bad for Tsukasa when he got to know how long isla's lifespan was :-/ |
 |
| 5/5 isla love u forever. |
