| Anime and caricature villains - name more iconic duo. It actually was a very decent episode until this nonsense appeared. I am ready to drop it. |
| I like the old school adventure anime feel so much, but I'm definitely in the crowd bothered by the mustache twirling villains. It already hurt episode 1, but things happen when you need to introduce a setting. At this point it's actively fighting against otherwise interesting world building. Bleh, I don't want to give up on this with how weak the rest of the fall season is looking so far, but I sure hope this slows down and drops the caricatures. |
| Robots being able to eat and process human food makes no sense and I hate the concept. |
| The more I get exposed to OWEL the more I question why they are necessary. They just seem like some jackboot bullies as far as I can tell. |
| I like it overall, but why both villains have to be the same I don't really get. I like a cartonishly evil villain, but not all the time. But I'm interested in why she asks to marry him and not do that new thing they have going on, so she probably was programmed by Towa to marry him or something along those lines. |

| Am I the only one who is getting very mixed signals from Yuugare,dk she just ain't looking trustworthy yet... Very predictable stuff mainly, romance is very forced unlike with Towasa. Adventure in semi apocalypse setting is fine ig. But nothing impressive. Roswall ass villain was good tho.. |
| i thought the little girl at the village was the one on the cover photo that joins the adventure crew. turn out it's different girl. she might be an android too judjing by that barcode she got on her back.(welp she was a slave) so yuugure is 150+ years old. safe to assume 150 years ago towasas work went down south, and yuugure had to fled. but why do all those androids have towasas face/body? and if all of them were made by towasa why did some of them join OWENS thing. there's are sooo many questions man. we ain't gonna learn shit in this 12 episodes. also she did an unbeliveble job by implementing all the bodily funcitons of a human to them android. and a near indefinite power? in that ark reactor like thing. she's the iron man in this world. lol i mean even a fusion reactor of that size wont last 150 years by the actions she's performing. (may be it will, i dont wanna calculate). then came a fkin clown or a drag shit and ruined my whole mood. this got two villains shown up so far and both of them were typical rage bait ass villains. hope they do better later |
 |
| Not a fan of the queer-coded edgy villlain but the rest was good. I thought the whole book burning scene was kinda stupid tho. Said, that, this looks SO good. The designs are amazing, and in general terms the use of colors, etc. Very good chocies on that area. The ending song was really beautiful! |

| Knowing more about Yuugure is where my interest lies. |
Does this anime have an official website?, I really like the characters outfits! :) |

Feel like they’ll drop this shit in episode 3, really hoping they focus on the more interesting villains. (The red robot girl that spared Idhi) I was wondering why the other Androids weren't there to be honest. They would make it a lot harder to just escape. |
| It's a post-apocalyptic 1984: we got the control of information and even the burning of books. What a great way to keep things mysterious. You want answers? You can't have them! Unless you pay a premium subscription fee or something like that. Ok so I want Amoru to be saved too, but what's Akira's dumbass gonna do? Bro should've taken Yuugure's offer of marrying her in return of saving Amoru. Would've been a win-win situation, but unfortunately Akira fears robot pussy. Anyway, Akira naturally wants to get to the bottom of this and find out what happened to his world and to Towasa, and why tf there are several hot and powerful android versions of her roaming about. There just doesn't seem much sense of urgency. Sure there isn't much he can really do but walk around to the next destination where he might find a clue, but it seems like he's ready at any point to give up the search for answers and just enjoy a laid-back life (if possible) in this new world with it's new societies. Like it'd be more real perhaps if he maybe showed more of a panicked expression sometimes. But whatever, this is just a very minor nitpick. |

Yep, hopefully they get screen time in the next episode. They have some morals (didn’t pressure Idhi or threaten her) and maybe there’s a great backstory? Idk I love this anime but Yugure and the villains piss me off Since they all have Towas face there must be some connection at least. I assume that Yugure was apart of their group at some point. They seem to have better morals than the OWEL guys at least, but I would think that's because they come from the past, so they share their moral code with people like Towa or Akira and not the "modern day" characters. The same reason I think she says marriage, because when she was made marriage was still the normal thing to do. |

Yeah the second episode of this super cringe feminist power trip anime. Thank you, but no thanks.
I guess they had to flush out this, and all the other social engineering cr@p we've seen come out this season before the NGO & USAID money really dries off.

| @Ethercruiser Repeating Russian bot talking points while complaining about social engineering puts you on the subtlety level of the villains in this series. |
| They are really evil... All of them should have been eridicated for real. |

| It is so well produced, looks like has a lot of heart put into it and a potential to be great and very memorable. And yet, I can't shake that uneasy feeling that in the end bad writing and poor character development will put this title firmly into "mid and forgettable" tier, there are just too many signs that point on that... |
"to me amoru is more important" that's why i hate dweebs like him at the start, wdym he doesnt care abt the opinion of the one who literally saved his life but wants to save (or forgive that stupid village snitch) the random ass, 10mins screentime girl. sasuga plot for you! anyways, yuugure best girl, amoru and her outfit is hella hot too. LETSSS GOOOOOOO SEXOOOO |
| I was initially fascinated by this anime's trailer and by the Sci-fi tag. The S0-1 episode clearly had something else in mind. I kinda liked S2 more than the previous two, as it showed more of their world. Now to this current era, we see - ruins and wind turbines which have not fully deteriorated - Steel beams and composite polymers can take >500 years to rust fully. - Tractors with diesel engines + ships + no solar panels seen - seems oil rigs are still operational and perhaps supplied by OWEL. - Town centres and roads are in proper condition, but not used much - less population? 1. OWEL and the Androids : clearly possesses tech that the citizens don't possess. However only the Androids seems to have high tech, while OWEL officers still carry a inferior tech, perhaps OWEL couldn't reverse-engineer the Androids hardware. 2. Citizens : treated like a feudal society, left to their weird customs. (I didn't like how Akira acts surprised at their customs while he was to smash his stepsis, the audacity) I think this isn't post-apocalyptic but something perhaps 200-300 years far away, and maybe OWEL is an military dictatorship, trying to fix back whatever our girl Towasa unleashed onto the world with limited resources. But then again, they haven't shown us much of how life was during the flashback era. |

| Two people on the hunt yet they still acted as if they were traveling on high-school field trip. I can't even this Japanese teenage and writing stupidity. |

Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| Towasa left a message for Akira 200 years ago, and Yugure said she’s been around for about 150 years, which basically hints that Towasa is already dead. Still, there’s a lot we don’t know yet since Yugure clearly knows more than she’s letting on, especially about Akira and Towasa. That makes it pretty clear she’s actually the same robot that used to help Towasa in the past. Anyway, I’m enjoying this show way more than I expected. It really feels like P.A. Works put a lot of effort into the story and everything else, so I’m definitely looking forward to following it till the end. One thing I feel is really underappreciated is the character design they’re so gorgeous I keep pausing the episode just to look at them. |
| This show has some potential, but the flaws are becoming more evident with each episode. The MC has been useless so far and is now doing the typical anime thing of saving a girl that betrayed him, they heavily overplay the joke of Yugure wanting to marry him, and new girl Amoru has been pretty dumb so far too trusting the villains and will likely just end up as the fanservice character. The villains are all caricatures so far too and it makes no sense why people trust them at all when they act like this. Its annoying as episodes 0 and 1 setup some good mysteries, I like the sci-fi and Orwellian post apocalyptic society, but I feel like its just going to end up a mid series with typical anime tropes. |

| The season is starting good. Nice to be on the ground floor this time. |
| Ugh, it pains me a bit to say and reach such a conclusion, but probably going to soft drop this (I say "soft drop" because I never formally added it to my watchlist to begin with as I usually wait these days and put most seasonals on a tentative mental probationary period) despite it being one of the series I most anticipated and had the most hope for going into the season based on the synopsis, genres, and being a P.A. Works original, as well as having a promising and enticing first episode and one of the better first episodes of the season and probably of the year in general (I'm referring to the episode which is labeled as episode 0 and decidedly not the subsequent episode labeled episode 1, which is actually the second episode, regardless of whatever reason for which they chose to do this). The main reasons though are twofold. One is that I find the main character - well he's a bland main character which doesn't spark interest but I wouldn't be pushed much to drop it just for that as that applies to mains in a lot of series. It would be fine if he were just bland and inoffensive. But I find his naive vague sense of justice and self-righteousness incredibly irritating and obnoxious; nauseating even. He has absolutely no clue whatsoever how anything in this world works or why it is the way that it is, the whys, wheres, whens, hows, etc. and yet multiple times in this episode (and I can tell already it's going to be a recurring phenomenon and theme), he puts himself in needless danger (or is prevented from doing so by the android or expects the android to automatically bail him out) with zero real regard or awareness just because "It doesn't feel right!" and "I feel bad" and similar mindless childish silliness. I really can't sympathize at all with characters like this and find them just more annoying and exhausting to watch after a point rather than feeling a sense of being invited to get invested in their stories. The way he said one of his last lines of the episode in this episode in that over-emotional whiny tone to Yuugure after she agreed to help save the young girl in return for him agreeing to the marriage, snapping back about "You really are an android, aren't you?" or something to that effect. Oh yeah, because God forbid something be transactional and someone ask for something they want in exchange for doing something for you. Unheard of. Blasphemy. How outrageous and immoral. Better become all righteous and indignant about it. This guy is a tool and I've seen too many of them that their type rubs me the wrong way very quickly. And the other main reason is that the villains are all past over the top and exaggerated and into more parody or comedic territory which makes me wonder if the series in whole or in part is intended to be more of a comedy and parody of something, but the feel in much of the rest of it and the way it's been advertised and presented doesn't really come off like that. So it's something I find just out of place, dissonant, and jarring in a series like this. I had the same problem as one of the gripes with another recent series, Clevatess of last season, only I felt that that that series had more positive going for it to offset it. But the same thing with antagonists/villains mostly being extreme caricatures to the point of absurdity. I hope this doesn't catch on as some soon-to-be ubiquitous new fad or trend. I'd like to get invested in the romance but the main character is the standard wet blanket Goody Two-Shoes with a savior complex and crusader streak to boot so at this point I'd rather the original girl Towa (his unofficially adoptive sister) or the android or whoever have better than him. And I'd like to get invested in the dystopic societal conflict but the villains make Team Rocket look like serious professionals so it's just kind of a joke. |

| they really got rat-ed twice.... i was actually enjoying the first half of this episode until that last bit which is the exact same thing like last ep.... |
| Oof, this was a bad episode. A really bad episode, at that, one that immediately erased any confidence episode 1 had given me for the show. We have yet another anime trying to justify slavery as "not that bad, actually", as well as a bundle of hackneyed writing cliches thrown in on top of that. I already find myself feeling annoyed at the overuse of "that's classified information" as a cheap and artificial way to withhold information from the viewer. Akira kind of sucks as a protagonist (there's no reason for him to care so much about Amoru so quickly, other than that being a cliche way to write a moralistic protagonist), and right on the other side of it we have aggressively campy and over-the-top of the villains every week that just remove any sort of nuance from the story. I do enjoy Takehito Koyasu playing this sort of ridiculously campy villain in isolation, and I like he's putting on more of his Roswaal intonation in this role as well, but having another villain like this after Fascist Zap Brannigan last week just doesn't work for me. |
| Liliana that you? The dress and her looks both are very similar. Even her backstorh. More typical tropes. Slaves, manipulation, betrayal etc. 200 years have passed and Yuugure's also more than 150 years old. Need more info on how things happened. Doesnt seem like Ai went berserk but rather maybe the bad guys used the androids to rebuild the world like this. |
