| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Jesus Christ, Yuka's way too chatty in this episode especially about her bro. Speaking of siblings, Olga's brother really has some issues to deal with. Kouka's involvement with the anitbody network really spells out trouble in this story. For a hIE, Kouka sure displays a lot of human personality/behavior. This episode also picked up action. As strange as I find Kouka's role in this show, she can fight pretty well. Arato will probably have to get used to this...and more. |
 |
| Things are heating up. Kengo sure is in a lot of trouble for getting involved with Kouka. The poor guy. The tech with the invisibility is pretty cool. It's going to be quite helpful. |
 |
| Something about this episode didn't feel right to me. This episode felt a little slow to me but at least We are starting to learn more about Kouka character and Olga's big brother character so this episode focus on some other characters besides the main two so that's good I guess. The next episode looks a lot more interesting so I'll look forward to it. 5/10 |
  |
| The plot was progressing ok until... "Let's go to a building with heavy armed beings from both sides, with a robot I have no idea where it came, because I want to save my friend." I thought the plot would improve, but I'm losing hope. I will give one more episode. 2/5 |
| well this gets better and better and this is just episode four.... really enjoyed the episode |
 |
| There was lots of interesting stuff happening this episode, but at times it felt like it moved slower than it could have done because of the very dense exposition in various places. Other than that, this was a decent episode and things are slowly continuing to pick up, so I'm curious to see how things steadily progress from here. |
| Definitely getting with the pacing of this series, sure some things are a bit expository but it's definitely ramping up. Well this survives on my list of shows to keep up with on a Friday. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| The plot may progress slow,but like I said last week, it's better this way. Bit more action this episode,but nothing which really impressed. Looking forward to next week,tho,when Arato is going for Kengos rescue. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| So that was what Kengo was doing when he was using the system. Looks like this came back to bite him. To think that Kengo will be involved in such a movement though. The manner of speech between Kengo and Olga is interesting. Hmm a sever that can be carried around by a HIE certainly is an interesting idea. The antibody network eh catchy name. Ryou's investigation into that event continues on. Thats some high tech gear that Lacia bought though. Hopefully they will be able to get Kengo out of there. Though i wonder what will happen if they encounter humans though. Kouka though is surprisingly human like though with her actions though. |

ALL of Ryou's screentime and related exposition in this episode was NOT in the manga, and I'm guessing is anime-onry from how direct and heavy-handed it was. Actually did dole out some rather important information at least. Kinda had the feeling that they added the info dump in part so that they could stretch out the arc by an extra episode. I'm now predicting this arc will wrap up in ep6, since that would work out nicely for the BD BoxSets. >_> |

| Why doesnt kouka just go from the very 1st start , i mean she could wipe the enemy easier and faster |
| Good and bad are two sides of the same coin, I like it when story's plot goes along this route... But I guess we're supposed to be geared towards lacia & arato. From an abstract view, there isn't really a good or bad to this anime, thus the characters haven't really defined their purpose What I'd really like to know is the route this anime is trying to take in terms of its ending -is it primarily an action that allows room for romance; or is it a romance that's using action to prolong the story. On the other hand, I like how this anime addresses A.I's, since advances are being made in this technology and science; anybody know anymore anime like this, I've watched plastic memories but they hadn't taken on A.I.s from this perspective. |
 |
| A lot of things happened but nothing important happened also... What an ambivalent feeling. Hard to describe the peace of this anime. Not bad, not good, just average. But not offensive, not yet. Exeterna said: Why doesnt kouka just go from the very 1st start , i mean she could wipe the enemy easier and faster It is probably to hide the fact that she is a real attacker. You know there is probably some good defence system(some heavy hIE?) but since there are only some human terrorist there was no need for a stronger defenses. Or to prevent any other actions as escape for example. Probably. |

I don't see any romance. There is a robot girl who attached herself to a 'master' and that 'master' has no idea what to do with her or the incidents around themselves. This series reminds me Eve No Jikan more than Plastic Memories; emotions and acts on a cliffhanger mood. I am ok with all those info-giving moments, slow pacing, but that Yuka character, what good is she in the series for, other than time filler/waster. Seriously take her out and let the romance begin. Until now, only Lacia and Kouka impressed me, other characters should struggle more! |
Exeterna said: Why doesnt kouka just go from the very 1st start , i mean she could wipe the enemy easier and faster she's a lazy bum, why put in work if you don't have to ------------------ I'm glad this show has strayed away from whatever that was in episode 2, the show has been a lot more interesting with Kouka around. I'd say it's Diomedea's best show since 2012 but that's such a low bar. |
| Certified "cute girls doing cute things" expert the cute girls doing cute things club needs you! maybe you didn't give re:stage dream days a chance; please re:consider |
| This show is such a mess lol, I can't care enough to try to understand what actually is happening and why. I just like to watch Kouka kicking some ass, also I like the boy with Deku's voice. Endo and Lacia are lame. |
| again each week i see some mildly interesting stuff buried under the rest ,watching for Kouka still |
 |
| im srry but i hope Kengo learns from this experience. he kinda deserves it if hes been helping ppl destroy hIEs |
| After a losing streak of three episodes finally it didn't go worse than the last episode, although to be exact this episode was pretty lame in it's own sense. Really tired of this drama going on. Never thought it could go so bad since the first episode gave me an idea that the show would be decent. But this is beyond insane. To think I made a commitment with myself to complete this show... |
 |
| Well, that escalated quickly. If this was Ghost in the Shell I'd say it was a decent episode. Politics, cyber terrorism, philosophy... yet when thrown into the context of three high school students with way too much freedom and seemingly no consequences, it feels more than a little out of place. Overall I like where this is going. Espionage and all that always makes for good sci-fi. The show's biggest mistake this time around is that it actually made me care. Now it has to somehow live up to that, and if Arato and co walk away from this one scot-free for another delicious meal with imouto on a fine, bright, sunny day, yeah , I'm gonna be a little disappointed. |
| That little shit got what he deserved. "Why are they shooting at us?" Because you're terrorist scum. What did you expect would happen, if you charge into a government building? I'm a bit surprised, that the hIE are allowed to use lethal force though. And I wonder, what Kouka's agenda is. She most likely knew, that it wouldn't work. Also the other guys are quite stupid, it seems. Has no one noticed her unnatural looking arms etc.? How Lacia and Arato prepared to enter the building was cool though. I'm curious how they will proceed. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| Am I the only one who thinks it's absolutely retarded to try to take down robots with guns, robots who are specifically designed to perform in that area in ways humans could never hope to achieve? Sounds pretty stupid. Let's not use EMP or anything, just a bunch of trashy guns. That's saying nothing about this dumb as bricks MC who doesn't seem to get with the program ever. The soundtrack in this show seems horribly misused. At first I mistook it for a lack of skill on the composer's side, but there was a pretty decent track in the middle of this episode that made me rethink that. Genuinely disappointed in Diomedea's performance this season. |
 |
| Why do I get the feeling that Kouka doesn't intend on having those guys survive this debacle? Also lol at them actually thinking she's human. |
 |
| That high tech equipment was pretty cool. I guess I shouldn't be surprised given the setting, but androids/cyborgs/etc are pretty common in sci-fi, whereas the way the gear worked was pretty interesting/creative. Arato's motivations are a little silly. He's jumping into something with which he really has no understanding of what the big picture is to save a friend just because that friend helped him track down Lacia previously. The plot's moving but I'm really not sure how to feel about this. |
| Probably the best episode so far just because they finally decided to get into the meat of the series. But yeah some characters are still noticeably stupid. Yuka and Kengo can both die and I wouldn't bat an eye. It makes no sense at all that Kouka would want to have him as an owner. |

Nah i wasn't comparing it to plastic memories lol; I could never compare it to this anime... PLASMEMO had me crying, this anime's like meh. I'm mainly watching it due to it being the same theme so as to fill the PLASMEMO-sized hole in my heart T-T T-T |
|
| finally! an episode that gives me a clear reason to why i should drop this piece of garbage... but i won't.. gonna give it one last chance.. one more episode... the plot is so out of place.. the villian is just too much cocky... like she knows everything... and the characters are so bland..and our mc wants to save the day.. by spouting some typical clichè like "he saved me so i will return the favor".. dude.. he is ur friend.. he is becoming a terrorist.. u gonna find a reason to help him!? as of right now.. lowering my score from 5 to 3... |
| I liked this episode. I feel Lacia and Arato spent a bit too long in Kengo's room though. Really adoring Kouka. It's amusing how yandere she was when fighting against Lacia, yet during her briefing and "morale boosts" she had some very cute facial expressions! Also with Arato going tactical with Lacia, nice to see Lacia donning her bodysuit again. Haven't seen it since episode 1. ;) Stark700 said: As strange as I find Kouka's role in this show, she can fight pretty well. Agree! She fights really elegantly. Will be interesting to see how well she fares against the other red boxes though. I wholeheartedly agree, that line almost made me spit my drink out. >__> |

Sounds pretty stupid. Let's not use EMP or anything, just a bunch of trashy guns. No you're right it's retarted. I don't even know why I'm still watching this show. |
| This is starting to get boring, I think I'll drop it sadly.. |
| I think it was a pretty good episode. I liked that there was focus on detail for going invisible. There is no point to it if you are blind for the duration xD. Also, Kouka is a master troll making those humans believe she is also one. I mean, really now?? She is carrying a big ass weapon which a normal human wouldn't be able to and you can see on her body that there are parts that connect in different ways. Just how dumb those guys are? lol |
| Unfortunately, this series is all over the place. It attempts to try to have a semblance of science-fiction by presenting some ideas... but that's about it. It doesn't really explore the ideas in any depths but simply presents them. That's not science-fiction. Also it shoehorns a bunch of teenagers into the plot because...? This is like if an amateur watched Ghost in the Shell SAC and decided to write his own series inspired from it. Since this is 24 episodes, I'm going to have to try to continue this... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Did Kengo went crazy or he was just possessed? Cloak field was cool...nothing else... I bet Ryou would have his own personal hyper-advanced hIE...just guessing! 4/5. |
 |
| I'm seriously thinking about dropping. I don't like Kengo and the relationships between the characters. And if the terrorists would die easily for robots, why Kouka didn't act alone? For me, it would be more interesting if the HIEs acted alone, showing their power. I don't want to regret it. |
 |
| I don't even know why I keep watching this show anymore. Basically all characters are bland and generic and the MC is the worst example of this. Oh well, at least the incidental music is alright, albeit generic as well. |
| Yet these hands will never hold anything. Thus I pray, Unlimited Waifu Works!  |
| this is so boring god dammit |
 |
| I can already (sort of) guess what;s going to happen next. So far it's been good and this episode a lot happened. |
| modge |
| Yeah, I think I'm done with this show. It just doesn't hold my attention. |
Kouka is fun at least. This should be a really cool show... but it is lacking across the board. I think the problem is that the anime is targeting kids/teens. Had it targeted adults, it would be much better. |
  |
| Not exactly terrible but can't see anything really to keep my attention. Double cour as well...I'm lagging too far behind to keep faith on a show where I'm not liking anything. Buh-bye |
