| Nice episode. But a bit weird: How did the guy they protected end up seeing the illusion? Matsumoto talked about his glasses but they seemed like normal ones. Not like teh elecctronical night vision goggles the attackers used. Also he must have heard the conversation when they talked about the future and stuff. I guess this is just your usual anime thing where this won't get explained and the guy just didn't hear anything. Funny thing: He now (cause they did not further explain stuff to him) might just manage to pass the law cause he was so impressed and now has a real interest in AI instead of just using them to get votes. Sad thing: I guess it will get episodic. Girl from the first episode got killed. And we probably won't see the politician anymore. But jumping through other events that were considered important - with always different side chars. |

Not like teh elecctronical night vision goggles the attackers used. It was special glasses, that's why Matsumoto was able to hack it to disguise Vivy and not have him recognize her/it. Luthandorius said: Also he must have heard the conversation when they talked about the future and stuff. I guess this is just your usual anime thing where this won't get explained and the guy just didn't hear anything. I'm pretty sure that Vivy and Matsumoto were conversing telepathically. |

| I see. I did not notice this. A bit weird that for the night vision goggles they put a lot of focus on it. And for the other stuff you have to think about it and interpret this into the situatoin. (When it actually isn't shown/mentioned.) I just thought it maybe was a hologram everyone got to see (and only the viewers of the anime saw her as Vivi) ... and that her mentioning that she wanted him to listen to her singing ... had revealed her. (He seemed to have reacted to that.) Edit: Looking closer and comparing scenes ... it actually seemed like his mouth (of the stuffed toy animal) moved in normal scenes. When talking about stuff that should not get revealed ... the eyes started to glow and the mouth did not move. Didn't notice this at first. (Would have been better to hint more at this to not make people rewatch and check stuff again ha ha.) Weird though that he just isn't talkign to her via "telepathy" constantly - when most other stuff also is not relevant to 3rd parties. When he said to her the was taking too long to fight against 1 soldier ... he talked normally. Would have been more efficient to do that telepathically as well. Only talking normally if he wanted to talk to others (to the politician). |

| This anime has so much potential, I didn't have very high hopes I thought it might be some generic music anime but it is so much more interesting. Ep2 was much better than ep1, i'm glad it was released straight after ep1. I'm looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| What an amazing opening couple of episode, the animation looks so smooth. The music is good too. Looking forward to this show. |
 |
| Diva, at some point, reminds me of Violet Evergarden! And that collapsing scene of the building where she jumped is so intense and cool! It's been a while since I've watched the initial episodes that made me so hyped, captivated and extremely engrossed! WIT studio truly delivers and I hope that they will be able to sustain this type of quality until the end. My only gripe though is with that last few minutes about the kid in the airplane accident. It would have been better if it was presented in the next episode. I feel like it was so out of place. But overall, I was utterly pleased with how the story is presented. Looking forward for more! |
| I felt my heart drop when Vivy watched Momoka die right before her eyes and her not being able to do a thing about it, thanks to Matsumoto's intervention. The dynamic between Vivy and Matsumoto is gonna be an interesting one; he is an AI that acts purely according to logic whereas Vivy acts based on her mission which is almost like acting on an emotional basis. The other fascinating element to their partnership is the 100 difference in their technological specs. Matsumoto is more expressive and mimics human nature despite his less than human view of things and Vivy has a more impassive, rigid nature. |
 |
| Conceptually it's pretentious and operates on improper generalizations, but well... Story requires lot of suspension of disbelief. The less of the "dip" stuff the better. Action might be good, but we'll see. Visuals are nice etc. I expect more from MONACA composer than okayish action track, ending on the same chord. So far it's "fine." If you don't think about nonsense assumptions it might be a fun watch, but they have to deliver on the action/intrigue/whatever they planned. |

| That ending from the second episode, I mean, damn. |
| Its way to bad the little girl had to die, I wonder if vivy could have negotiated with the AI and stated that she wont interfere unnecessarily ever again if she could have saved the girl. Though I guess its not likely they would accept. Wonder what her technicians think of the bullet injury or her arm being torn, there needs to be some explanation on how they are handling this. |
 |
| Looks very promising, great animation and maybe a good plot |
| I keep moving forward |
| Looks promising! I hope it doesn't fumble. |
 |
| This was at least better than the first episode, but what the hell was that ending? Such a bizarre and sudden transition that it almost felt like there were scenes cut from the actual episode. The execution was not good. Where/when does this scene take place? Time travel shenanigans? Will the next episode be leading up to the scene in question? Or the entire series? Who the fuck knows really. Gotta end this double premier on a tragic event, so people will keep watching! I'm definitely not on board with this yet, but at least the concept of AI gone horribly wrong is always interesting. Also, bear, please shut up. Stop talking so much. |
| This anime remember me the game Dretroit become human so much, it's one of my fav games and now this anime will always be in my mind. |

DaciaDuster38 said: the show is fantastic, but why you must kill momoka, literally the only one that makes this show a little cute. Hey, hey, hey, did you just forget about the titular character? |
| Really tragic she could not save her fan from the plane accident. and it looks like she gained the respect of the politician. It seems he recognized her female form, because he gave her his blazer to wear - like how a man gives cover to woman. looking forward for more! :) |
DaciaDuster38 said: no, i didn't forget about her, but you know she's too cold too call her cute. I say in sense of personality, aesthetically she's gorgeous I see what you mean but I sense sparkles of cuteness here and there, like when she was trying to catch Matsumoto in her room. |
| So this has probably already been answered, but what happened at the end there? They went from shaking hands in a park to all of a sudden he's slamming her through a wall with some kind of construction machine, ripping her arm off and the plane is crashing. A "vision" he's showing her? Or a preview of the next ep? Kind of a non sequitur if it's reality. |
| Away from the things of man, my love, away from the things of man. |
| The ending scene should have been put after credits. The transition was too sudden. Nonetheless, it blew me away. |
| Okay, now I can safely say I'm hooked! I did like the "timeskip" at the end, since this story of 13 episodes is apparently going to cover 100 years, at least as far as we know at this point. Music and sound design are incredible, I'm curious to see where this leads. |
| interesting anime, I like that the AI girl is the only protagonist and another AI as a companion instead of introducing a normalfag boy as those old stories of light novels like "beatless" it would be a similarity to this one, imagine a boring and irrelevant boy involved in a story where it has nothing to do |
 |
| I didn't expect anything coming into this anime but after these two episodes I'm now expecting it to be one of favorite shows of the season. I look forward to seeing where this goes next. |

| honestly got some GitS vibes when Vivy held up the rubble and you could see her inner workings this show has some amazing art though |
 |
| Way better episode than episode 1. Really made the most out of the double episode premier. That said, that last scene needed way more buildup. it was jarring, confusing, and out of nowhere. Almost ruined the whole episode. |
| Animation this episode was gorgeous. Second of all I didn't expect this anime to be this dark. |
on firstawahono said: Rezero writer + aot studio = masterpiece !!!! Ik wit is working on this but Rezero author is also on this? |
| Vivy is so pretty, she kinda gives off Violet Evergarden vibes. I know Matsumoto is saying something really serious but it's so difficult to take him seriously XD him controlling that bulldozer like thing was the only part I could take him seriously... That ending was sad, I was really looking forward to see more Vivy and Momoka moments...  Vivy is so beautiful. I really like how they didn't accentuate ‘some’ parts.  😂😂 |
| I was sceptical and I still am. That said, best start this season. It's ambitous for a one cour series, but I have the feeling this one can be pulled off. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Another great episode :) This looks promising :D I can't wait for the next chapter after the tower scene >:D I watch the final scene... I watch the final scene... I watch... :'( |
