| Their depiction of sea level rise is a bit hyperbolic though. Almost like Water World. In the last episode, they went to the cliff where Atri prevented him from committing suicide. They were probably hundreds of feet under water at the time, and still at least 20-50 feet above the top of the cliff, and one would imagine that cliff was probably at least 100 feet high. Even if all of the ice on Earth melted, sea level would only rise about 230 feet...not nearly as much as they show. If that were the case, then sea level rise would probably be the least of their problems. It would probably be unbearably hot, and I wouldn't be surprised if the makeup of the atmosphere changed, and might even be unbreathable. |
| Episode 11 Now that Natsuki knows where he stands, he's preparing to head to the mainland, but before that he has another problem on his hands in that Atri is running low on juice. The manual says to send it to the lab for maintenance, but of course that's not an option as not only does it no longer exist seeing that she was made over 30 years ago, even if it did exist she would be scrapped with her model being recalled. And of course, batteries are scarce in this world. Good thing that Natsuki remember the capsule that kept her charged up for so many years that is waterproof. So they salvage the capsule and charge her up, and not only is Atri fully charged, but now she remembers Nonko's final order. I should have seen this coming when Atri needed a recharge, and she just got that. Now, it's onto fulfilling the final order that had been forgotten. |

| @HOOfan_1 But you're forgetting about the fountains of the deep. There's potentially like four times the amount of water in all the oceans stored a few hundred miles below the earth's surface. |

| Episode 12 Nonko's final order is revealed as it is to go to this place called Eden, whose location is unknown seeing that it's a heavily-guarded secret. So with a newspaper article as a hint, Natsuki narrows down the possible locations of Eden and they find it guarded by a whirlpool. Natsuki and Atri head to this whirlpool to reach Eden, and it is full of robotic wildlife, all created by Nonko. This was her way of preparing for the sea level rise that she knew was inevitable. At the center of Eden is a capsule for Atri to go into where she would power up Eden. And then an AI replication of Nonko appears telling Natsuki that she needs to return to the capsule since she programmed Atri to have her memories reset if she's out of the capsule for 45 days and it has already been 42 days. And thus, it all comes down to this as Natsuki needs to figure out if he can keep Atri the way she is or if it's back to the capsule for her. One more episode left to go. |
| Episode 13 (Finale) All of Natsuki's friends at school arrive at Eden, and before making any final decisions, Natsuki and company return to school to talk about it seeing that they have three days to come up with a solution before Atri's memories of Natsuki are wiped clean. So after thinking things over, Natsuki has made the decision to have Atri become Eden's admin. The night before, the students hold a "birthday" party for Atri, which doubles as a farewell party. So after taking care of some last-minute tasks, it's back to Eden for Atri to fulfill Nonko's final order with Atri kissing Natsuki before going into the capsule. And afterwards, Atri appears as an AI before Natsuki as he vows to move forward. And after that, 70 years pass with the first Eden being retired, and in the decades since new Edens prop up and with the first Eden shut down to sustain life, Atri has fulfilled her duty, while Natsuki has become a grandfather, but due to technology he's able to look the same according to Atri rather than his actual appearance as an old man. This goes to show that time had stopped for Natsuki, but what he needed to do is to move forward as he was taken prisoner by the past and Nonko's final order was a test to move forward. He obviously made the right decision, but it wasn't an easy one. Pretty much, the ending all served a life lesson that everybody will need to move forward, but how to get to that point is different. Final Thoughts This show had all the makings of being epic, but in the end it's just a run-of-the-mill visual novel adaptation with greater production values. The show has a nice story, interesting characters, and some tremendous character development. But on the flipside, the story writing made the show hard to understand, all while losing focus of the big picture so often, and the silly antics were hit or miss. So in all, the show is not bad as it has the appeal factor down at the very least, but the story writing certainly could have been better. Grade: C+ (7/10) |
| I'm a little disappointed in the ending. Losing the android girl for a long time and reuniting with her years later is something I've seen more than once before. Considering that there aren't that many android girl shows, I'm not wild about having a trend like that. All in all, the show was pretty good, but for me it was entirely carried by Atri. 7/10 |
| Wait...the entire reason she went in to control that island was to restore electricity to the island? This one wasn't quite as bad as the last few visual novel based anime, but it was still not that great 6.5/10 |
| Yeah that wasn't a great final episode. Just what the heck eden's purpose was and why it was so important was never even close to explained, which makes Atri's sacrifice pretty hollow. And if they're able to make more eden's how could they not know how to get Atri out of there? And what exactly was going on at the end there wasn't explained at all either. Is Natsu's actual brain hooked up to whatever virtual world Atri's memory exists in or was that just a copy of his consciousness? If that's just a copy of him and a copy of her memory then what even was the point? The end felt more empty than hopeful. A good ending and I could have gone as high as a 7/10. But this end has me at a 4.5/10 and I'm not sure if I want to round up or down. |

| Ehhh. Wasn't a great ending, but at least it was an ending, which I always appreciate. Best thing about it was the OP, which I currently use to wake me up in the morning. It always gets me when single individuals seem to be able to create these massive high-tech hidden bases. (Batcave, Tracy Island, Eden, etc.) |
