| Altair and Vega, huh... Not exactly new stuff but can't do without it when the story revolves around two characters separated by circumstances. Ijuin's private beach is the same beach from the flashback, building seems to be the same. Asahi said that girl's father will be worried, if the building is her house in the "actual" reality then it might translate to Ijuin's villa in the "fake" reality. The usual weird stuff like Asahi not remembering stuff about his "friend" at all and people being completely fine with someone run over by a car. And... Aoi is nowhere to be found and people don't seem to notice. When she finally appears MC's memories of the other girls fade. That focus on knives, scissors and cutting stuff is likely implying some dark stuff about Aoi. Like she's local Monica and made something terrible to other girls. When Yoshio was calling my S;G brain kicked in and I expected him to say something like "Asahi, you must stop World War 3", lol. Also the clock is broken which is totally not suspicious in any way. So, my theory for now can be summed up like this: I think amnesia of some sort is involved. Asahi and his childhood friend were happy teens in love then something terrible happened, likely the whole world was involved, I don't know how to explain the Lovelins from different countries otherwise. The world is postapocalyptic or extremely distopian but VR technologies are great. A(o)i is somehow in charge of this fake reality which purpose is to fulfill her dream of happy days with Asahi lasting forever. She's also obsessed so there are no other people and she's violent against anything and anyone that can interrupt their time together. The time doesn't move and the sakura tree is always in bloom. But we reach this dream-like state only now, for the past episodes Aoi was just one of the girls and all of them had flashbacks about Asahi, and despite reality being freaking weird the time still flowed and Asahi remembered all of the girls just fine. So what was the deal with girls and what happened? And what's the deal with different countries and a scientist girl? You might think it's boring and predictable but for some reason I LOVED the fact that ED was adding singers one by one but now it's just an instrumental and there's no pictures of girls. |
| I wanted to make an edit at first but that's pretty big. Check out the official website: https://loveflops.com/ It now says "Disconnect" when getting to 100% and the image is glitching. Also, no girls to be seen. The character roster now features Izawa Ai the childhood friend https://loveflops.com/chara/chara008.html and the description says she suddenly died because of illness 2 years ago. No clue why they'd have to spoil it, maybe it leads into another twist, maybe not. Other Ai trivia: - Born on September 24. Other dates close to this one featured in anime are September 12 (shown in the ep 1, the alarm clock shortly glitches out to that date) and October 1 (Aoi's birthday). Asahi himself is born on October 10. So all 3 of them are Libra. - AB - same blood type as Aoi and Yoshino. - All kinds of domestic chores are listed as her specialty. Aoi's description says she's good at domestic stuff too. - Ai's favorite food is banana, the same is listed for Asahi. - 2 B-side songs to the ending theme are announced, they are called "lost in the white" and "With You", BOTH are sung by Ai (same VA as Aoi, Itou Miku, but anyway) and will be released on November 30. "lost in the white" will be the anime ED from now on. https://loveflops.com/news/article0039.html |
| We were right. We were right. We were right. At the very least, the simulation part seems to be true. If it's also a visual novel I'll be really pleased. Can't wait for it to tie into war. Next week's episode is going to be amazing |

| I'm either really dumb or really smart for what I'm about to say: I was looking at the ending theme and noticed that these were the words on screen: それはどんなカタチでも (sore wa donna katachi demo) 正解は自分次第 (seikai wa jibun shita) きっとワタシだけの (kitto watashi dakeno) アイを見つけるから (ai wo mitsukeru kara) Which I believe would translate to: No matter what form it takes The correct answer depends on you For sure, I'm the only one Because I found love However, the last line uses the katakana (アイ) for love instead of the kanji for it (恋). Since katakana is usually used for names, a different interpretation of the last line of the ending theme could be "Because I found Ai". Since each girl started singing the ending theme after the flashback with Ai in it, it could be that they connected (back to(?)) Ai after having their moments with Asahi. "No matter what form it takes, the correct answer depends on you". So if this were a visual novel, Asahi is making choices which trip the necessary flags to potentially end the simulation. Maybe it's some sort of raising project? The "for sure, I'm the only one" would make sense if all girls connect back to Ai, furthering the yandere theory. Additionally, saying that they're the only one *because* they found Ai is quite something. I just can't wrap my head around this right now, I feel like I'm about to discover something even crazier. |
It sounds weird because the translation is a bit off. I believe it should be like this: 1) "の" can either be sentence-ending or indicating posession. I'm absolutely sure it's the latter so ワタシだけのアイ (watashi dake no ai) is either "love that's only mine" or "Ai that's only mine". 2) 見つける isn't in past tense (would be mitsuketa), it's likely future. So the whole sentence is something like "No matter what form it takes, the correct answer is up to oneself [likely "you"], because I'll find my own love/Ai for sure". You're right about katakana, it's often used to emphasize some words and/or imply they have some hidden meaning. In this part such words are katachi (form, shape), watashi (me) and ai (love/Ai). |

Right, I was tired at the time and forgot that 見つけた would be past tense, instead of 見つける. Can't wait to see what tomorrow's episode brings. |
loneguitar66 said: Now that EP 3 dropped I’m gonna put forth an alternative: Schizo/Split Theory It doesn’t make sense that multiple girls have similar childhood flashbacks with our MC UNLESS they’re actually all based off the same person. You were absolutely right. Phenomenal episode, Asahi having a breakdown at the graveyard just proved that I was right all along. I can't even put into words how excited I am for these last four episodes. |
| Asahi destroying the A.I. would make for a pretty satisfying conclusion to this show. Also Asahi has like no reason to want to save the 5 girls, since all they'll do is keep him in a fantasy world which he (hopefully) doesn't want to live in |
Joban2512 said: AkeZZZ said: Theory 5: It is some kind of a simulator or an experiment in which the MC joined without noticing or unwillingly participated. He could be like a lab rat as well. Or plot twist of the plot twist, there is nothing hiding behind. It's just a normal romcom anime. We're thinking too much. 🤣🤣 wow. how did you get that from the first episode. Danganronpa |
| I made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, and I don’t expect to be forgiven. I’m simply here to apologize. What we came across in this episode of Renai Flops was obviously unplanned. The events you saw on tape were raw; they were unfiltered. None of us knew how to react or how to feel. I should have never over-theorized. I should have put my keyboard down and stopped typing my theories. |
