Synopsis

Set in the near future in Japan, year 2035. A major incident was known as "Burst" which was caused by researching artificial life. A certain AI called "Matter" has eroded the Kurobe Gorge. Entering the research city, which has been called as humanity's last hope, has been prohibited by the government. Two years later, Aiko Tachibana, a 15-year-old girl who lost her family from the incident, was told by a transfer student named Yuuya Kanzaki the truth that Aiko didn't know regarding a secret hidden within her body. The key to solve the mystery is said to be in the Primary Point, the center of Burst. When a boy and a girl, who bears the future of humanity, meet, what will be the new truth?

im glad it seems we all have little hope in this series, lets see if we are proven wrong but i fucking doubt it.

My specific predictions that i want to look back on when its over, there will be a slow start that is just fine but really generic, it'll have some decent episodes of build up midway through but nothing too noteworthy, episode 6 and up will be pants on head retarded and jam packed with anime cliches in addition to some hurr durr evil government types cause im going to be shocked if they arent in this, then series will end with either the girl or guy dying.

I'll likely start tomorrow

Thanks for the invite guys but I'm not doing it. I don't feel like putting my thoughts into that, principally after every episode.
But I have watched 7 episodes so far and my rate is going to be either 4 or 5. Already better than B: The Beginning and not nearly as bad as Guilty Crown(lmao). I sensed some Suisei no Gargantia feels in it, there's probably people who worked into that in this(I'm not going to search about it).

I wouldn't call the B dub stellar either, it was just a typical above-average dub, with some roles having really good VAs but also some not so good acting, especially when it comes to random side characters. Definitely very watchable, but stellar as a term I'd reserve for other dubs like Bebop or Baccano.

But yeah I watched like 5 minutes of the first ep of AICO in dub and this dub is definitely worse. I watched B all dubbed, but didn't make it beyond the first 5 minutes in this.

Ep 2 is not that bad, you kinda need that information anyways. Seems like no matter what there will always be something to complain about when it comes to this show from what I've read online. I've already ranted enough for B: The Beginning's piss poor ep 10 and hope it won't be the same here, atleast enjoying this more so far but I'm in the minority.

Aico might wind up being worse than i expected, instead of being an entertaining disaster it might just be pure blandness, hopefully it picks up from here on out cause these first 3 episodes were bad introductions into this show.

I actually suspect that the reason aico's reception is so much harsher than B's is less because the show is going to fail hard going foreword, but more so these first few episodes are so offputting alot of people probably clocked out early on with how godawful its exposition is that there just wont be any attatchment later on even if it improved cause it fucked up its groundwork so much. I predict this is going to be a show that requires the viewer to pay attention to some small details for the finale to make sense, but because they crammed all the exposition the show needed into 10 straight minutes of the episode 2 that many of these details will be lost not cause of complexity, but boring execution, so when the time comes that this exposition is to be used alot of people will have forgotten important stuff and be even less enthused by the show.

after sleuthing a bit with the reception for this series, it seems like my theory that episode 2 killed this entire show might of been closer to correct than wrong, it seems tons of people dropped the show outright from it or were so bored out their minds during the info dump that when these super important details come back later alot of people just cant give a shit cause it was told in such a boring/forgettable way the terminology just becomes white noise.

less that and more i kind of didnt have much going on yesterday, kind of wasted an off day. I'm just surprised you guys are watching it the slowest when you were the ones pleasantly surprised. I just am curious if thats going to wear off or not for you guys as it goes on.

If i was hate watching this it'd be done by now, i blazed through seed destiny when it got bad.

I don't think the pace of watching it have anything to do with my enjoyment out of it, it's just that I watch currently a lot more Kamen Rider. I'm sure I'll finish it either tomorrow or Wednesday tho

thats fair, im hoping to finish this tomorrow as well.


I'm a little surprised how much aico is failing to find any type of audience though, i really expected it to have an annoying fanbase that defends its problems but no one really seems to care one bit about this show's existence and i feel like its already been forgotten. Shame cause these animators are really going all out at making this show look amazing with its combination of really fluid animation and aot more shading/detail in the drawing than your typcial show.

man, overall one of my main peeve of the show that i can no longer let slide is that it seems to want to cover 2 different shows, or at least parts at once

one with this escort mission

the other with the political drama thing with all the doctor and such, as well as the comma girl

tbh wanna drop but wanna see how bs it gets

Not sure how its really 2 different shows to you, they connect pretty directly almost the entire way through and basically explains everything about the show.

episode 2 was a disaster that doomed the show, id probably recommend rewatching the first 10 minutes of it or something if your that lost already cause things are going to start calling it back for some major stuff very soon.

Its surprisingly competent in the overall plot, the problems with this show all come down to other problems more so than any trainwreck scenarios and i kind of blame it all on the writer, i dare say its even possible it might have a potentially decent conclusion if it doesnt decide to fuck itself which is a very real possibility.
