I feel bad about not chipping in so far in the series.

So my take is that Frau is a gem of unique proportions in the simple matter of her voice pitch. But there is also one blunt fact of her:
she admits that she likes BL.
and
she admits to masturbating to them.

Not many girls do that at all in fact.

Hence Frau is quite the characters and that's apart the many expressions, feelings and reflections of them through her design.

Frau was mostly iin the following,

best cause of her clinging.

I do think her past is rather weird but then again that machine and this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SETI
makes me wonder if it's constant sound to space. Cause the SETI programs does do that in some parts of the world.

Oh shit at that ending, things just got very interesting. First that mysterious call with that Kagome music plays and then outta nowhere comes men in black lol.

Hmmm I wonder when Kai will tell the others about that report, cuz I really want to see that happen. And it was nice to see Subaru back to being his usual self again.

Here's a thought: Nae asked if they were the Robotics club before "arresting" them. In that case, why are they wanted? If it is the Kou Kimijima file then wouldn't they be specifically looking for Kaito and not the Robotics club in general? I'm trying to figure out if there was something that they did collectively that would put them on the radar for some organization like this.

Frau dropped quite the bombshell there. Her mother appears to be a murder suspect.

I wonder who that woman in the end is? What do they want with the Robotics Club?

Another piece of the puzzle coming in with Kona's story. The guy who wrote document #1 could be part of the murdered 13, too.

MIB-like people suddenly appearing out of nowhere. That's another crazy development. The scene where their devices all rung at once was a bit creepy, though. Mostly due to that ringtone. Just as creepy as it was from C;H.

And that woman at the end... that woman is Nae?! Holy- @$#!0%*&^

Miracles and magic do exist. I have no regrets.

I really enjoyed this episode. It seems that the main/serious plot is beginning to progress.

By the way, can someone explain to me the Nae thing. I watched all of Steins;Gate , but I don't recall ever seeing Nae as an adult or evil. The only time I saw her do something "bad" was when she in one timeline accidently pushed Mayuri in front of a train.

Did I completely forget that somehow, or was that only in the visual novel?

Yeah it is in the VN. I never played it but from what I understand she turned insanely evil in the world lines where her dad killed himself. As an adult she tortured/killed Okabe and then went back in time thousands of times just to kill Moeka. I think I remembered that correctly, sorry if I did not.

Another leisurely-paced episode. I love the part when Kaito was atop that high spot. I'm not sure I get what are Subaru's intentions. Frau was kinda cute.

That cliffhanger ending.. I totally relate it to Steins; Gate.

Oh BOY! That ending, they're in a pinch right now, damn now they just got their parts to build it. This thing is really getting better and better! Good that they didn't cut, Subaru out of the story, and Frau stays epic as always! Lets see what happens with them next, that mail in the end was rather creepy!

Bet that combines what appears to be the main plot, many other facts that give the discussion some desire to follow the story even more. Interesting narrative, with the alternation of irony and seriousness, which tends to keep me interested in the events. Design and animations good, all interesting characters! Maximum score!

Kagome Kagome is QUITE the creepy song, for a childrens game - with its many interpretations. They added alot of intrigue by using that rhyme as foreshadowing (I havent watched the next ep yet so I dont know what it is foreshadowing but im sure it is...and given the different interpretations (just gets creepier and creepier at first i was like oh this is kind of like duck duck goose, but no - it could be about an execution (beheaded person - seeing their own body, or conversely asking who is my executioner) a pregnant woman (wondering when the baby will come - still creepy in context IMHO for a childrens game/rhyme), a prostitute (whos had so many johns she cannot remember them, thus asking who is it behind me, and when will I escape this life) and then the more tin-foil hat inteperatation (dont get me wrong I love conspiracy theories - but the connections are SO loose - star of david does not equal illuminati across the board - there needs to be more concrete evidence than kagome could me a hexagram (and the star of david - only makes sense if theres factual evidence it was an original Hebrew rhyme - since we're working in an oriental system here wouldn't the first jump in logic be a Hexagram of the I Ching divination game?? Seems like a much more sound/logical than jumping to elders of zion level of conspiracy based off loose symbolism and very little synchronicity - although it adds to the creepy factor when you take into account thats when the men in black showed up) - and then I read the creepypasta wiki on it about how it could be relating to a nazi experiment with children in world war II - which isnt unlikely given the fucked up human experimentation they did with no cares in the world, and Hitlers right hand mans obsession with the Thule society and occultism (I am an occultist and this type of experiment, it down right wrong/and creepy as hell) - that ramps up the creepy factor mixed with other conspiracy elements of the solar storms and the strange "Elephant Mouse Syndrome" and the speeding up of time/reflexes (leading me to the assumption that MAYBE this syndrome is an effect of some strange human experimentation but I wont know till I watch more - the implications are quite maddening with synchronicity and the multiplicity of the kagome-kagome rhyme/game's interpretations - mixed with the murders and the mysterious men in black - its really foreboading. Needless to say I love it! haha Steins;Gate rocked my world, and now finally im starting to see how these are made by the same people as S;G and C;H. Also watched Psycho-Pass recently, which is right up there with Steins;Gate IMHO (and Im a huggge phillip k dick fan so...that helps immensely get into the socio-psycho-philosphical deepths of the story behind Psycho-Pass). I only mention PsychoPass because its the first anime Ive seen since Steins;Gate thats impressed me like that (other than classics like Serial Experiments Lain, Ergo Proxy and even Akira). Just in intelligent super surreal futuristic mind-f'in twist and turn-y aspects. I could probably think of more to go on that list but those stand out in my mind).

imho - there different beasts. I wouldn't try to compare Chaos;Head to Steins;Gate (although I believe Steins;Gate to be a superior story - there equally impressive as is Robotics;Notes thus far). Given the laid back pace i thought maybe they were looking to enter a more broad spectrum of anime - but it seems their head for similar twists/turns and total-unexpectedness, which IMO is a good thing - we need more of in anime (I mentioned psycho-pass above in my reply to this thread, on the features the animator I believe - said he heard from an anime fan "You know, they just dont make Cool Animes anymore." and he was kind of shocked "So with psycho-pass we set out to make a cool anime" and just the fact that they unlike the millions of others who have stolen his ideas and not given props were props ere due - they say "We kind of set out to do a Phillip K Dickian anime" hell the characters even discuss the novel (and differences between the movie and novel) "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" and its movie "Blade Runner" (and the multplicity of the foreshadowing, making it even harder to determine whats to come. I remember watching Chaos;Head for the first time, and when it was getting towards the end my head was spinning haha, Steins;Gate is an almost perfect anime to me. It combines everything I like in my favorite styles of anime, fantastic characters - and unlike most "dystopian" sorta cyber-punk futuristic sci fi

*****SPOILER if you havent seen Steins;Gate****** that Ive seen that ACTUALLY has a happy ending (although looking into the S;G OVA it seems like they dont plan on letting them live happily every after, which I thouht was nice for a change. It was the first tension filled dramatic futuristic (or in place of futuristic dystopia, just dark seinen) grim-noire - anime I saw (ala serial experiments lain, phantom; requiem for the phantom, texhnolyze, casshern sins, ergo proxy) that didnt leave me with a malaise at the outcome (despite how good it may of been - Im easily emotionally impacted especailly when heavily invested in an anime's storyline and characters/drama - and have my own issues in life as well (as we all do in one way or another) - over the top emotionally sad/heart breaking or wretching animes can leave me affected for days - or if Im already upset - I wont watch it even though I want to cause I know it'll make my mood worse LOL. (Im just bein' real lol...I know at the end of the day its fiction, and animation at that - but I really connect with characters on an emotional level)

ohhey said:

That's INSANE! Makes me want to pick up Steins;Gate the visual novel as well, are there alot of different outcomes not used in the anime? (I would assume, given the nature of the series and visual novels in general - but evenmoreso because of the time-traveling quantum aspects of Steins;Gate),

Oh and Ive gotta say that, its probably a tie between Steins;Gate and MONSTER (one of the most unique and brilliant executed stories in anime history IMHO - I hope we see more shows in the vein of Monster - that was a true diamond in the rough. I have yet to see or hear of another anime thats even remotely like it.

What made me think of Monster is the connection between Kagome Kagome, Japanese Orphans being used by nazi scientists to take out the "kill switch" and create an immortal or invincible person, and the events that transpired in Monster at the Orphanage that created Johan - this isn't saying much about where Robotics;Notes is going but leads me to believe there may be more truth than fiction in that creepy pasta wiki "gateway of the mind" kagome kagome page - given certain aspects have been used now in two different japanese animations - dealing with experimenting with children (and even though the tests according to the creepypasta wiki - took place a little outside hiroshima, on orders from the nazis that no one from the homeland must see or hear about these experiments - the orphanage that created Johan in Monster was in Germany. More and more connections... creepy. The thought even ran across my head - did these experiments happen before or after we bombed hiroshima? (The conspiracy theorist in me screams, we're all working together behind the scenes - play acting like we're enemies and NWO has been in place for years -and the bomb could've been to destroy any and all evidence of a successful experiment such as this - connecting to possible messed up experimentation that the US Goverment has done on their own citizens and is stil allegedly - like we'd burn the data - we'd keep it, use it and say we destroyed it for good looks - if thats the way things really worked Operation Paperclip - the code name for recruiting nazi scientists after world war II - the whole reason we have a space program is because of all the human experimentation done on the jewish people on how much pressure a human body can take etc - all the elements that it takes to safely transport a human into space without complication - we're only found out threw using the jewish people like guniea pigs - so wrong. Sure they may of had a wealth of information and only of been doing "as they were ordered" but still...theres only so much depravity a human can witness before becoming desensitized - these people are probably still carrying out experiments like these (like MK Ultra - but worse) because they've got the stomache for it.) Buut then the skeptic in me says, take a chill pill LOL - you can't jump to quite so many conclusions. But hey what can I say doning the tin foil hat every now and again is fun (aslong as you don't get to david Ike level of shapeshifting reptillians...then you might wanna take a break - no offence haha - ive entertained his theories for the sheer surreal fun of it - but never took them as truths.

Thank god for Robert Anton Wilsons Maybe Logic - allowing me to indulge to the fullest in fantastical conspiratorial ideas without going off the deep end- and still stay healthily skeptical. Like he said "99.8% of the time I dont believe I was in contact with a being from the dog star sirius - but every 2nd tuesday of the month, for an hour that 00.2% gets me thinking haha" (Paraphrased - from Cosmic Trigger Vol 1. The Final Secret of the Illuminati - very similar to PKD's experiences in VALIS (even mentioned eachothers experiences and how similar they were - by both of them, in both books, they were friends as well). But RAW was the optimist to PKD's neophobic-yet prophetic (see Prophets of Science Fiction on the history channel episode 3 - Phillip K Dick and take into account he wrote all his sci-fi in the 1950s computers were a novel idea, and telephones were still rotary and chorded)-dystopian futuristic settings (most of which have come to pass or are just about to technology wise - if your not familiar wiht PKD - any hit sci fi movie blockbuster in the past 10 years has been a PKD novel - Blade Runner (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep), Total Recall (Remake and OG with Arnold Swartz - novel was called "We Can Remember It For You, Wholesale"), Minority Report (based on "The Minority Report"), A Scanner Darkly (PKD novel of the same name), Paycheck (Book of the same name), The Adjustment Bureau ( novella called "Adjustment Team" and a few movies based on short stories of PKD that we're great stories (and their movie adaptions we're based VERY loosely on the source material which contributes to their failure PKD is genius - no need to change it up) but the movies were executed (or Cast in the case of Nick Cage in 2005' "Next" based extremely loosely on the short story The Golden Man" ) awfully - "Imposter" (loosely based on short story of the same name) etc. Im missing two..."Screamers" which I dont know if it was well critically responded to and havent read the original book, same with the french film based off his novel "Confessions of a Crap Artist" - called "Barjo" for its English Language release.

Got a little off track that but what can I say,my rap music/various group projects, PKD, RAW, Anime, Occultism and Conspiracy - Those are my favorite things hah./endrant :D haha.

I see nothing but good things coming from the creators of S:G, C:H and R;N in the future - they impress me every time. If only When They Cry could've been as successful as these, we could have dubbed season 2 (which if you dont watch subs makes the series pointless with no explaination) and the even better When The Seagulls Cry (I was saddened to find the only eng. version will be subs - I was really hoping for a dub for that one - I love every element of that story, clsoed room murder mystery with supernatural/occult aspects = win/win plus it was disconnected enough from When the Cicadas Cry that it could've (or rather, should've) been taken as its own series, stand-alone thus the sales point of When The Cicadas Cry shouldn't of factored into whether licencing a dub IMHO - but whatever, can't change the past)

I really appreciate all the small stuff linked to the other shows, including the timeline at the start of the first episode.

Wonder why Nae's so interested in the Robo club though, maybe she's already seen the future? - I'm probably going too deep into it though.

Since Yashio is not inclined to like Aki, better ship Aki to Subaru instead. OwO

Here comes the FBI in BLACK!!!
The leader is a woman. lmao?! (not in a sexist way)

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
