| Damn that was such a great episode. Wit Studio really did a great job with the action scenes of the great assemblyman rescue Too bad the ep didnt end on a happy note but it does showcase the two vastly different ideologies that Vivy and Matsumoto have. Rip Momoka |
| my stress levels are through the roof watching this ,i remember seeing the visual art for this and thinking huh this has some dark war stuff mix with bright colors on the otherside the opening act is my nightmare and its a future im glad is the focus on stopping but it was hard to figure out what the real tone of this was gonna be till this episode.. Matsumoto is some coldass AI thought with him coming from the future they could make this plot of a 100 years real easy but i'm glad but sad at the same time that isn't the case. not sure if i'm ready for all the tragedy we might have to suffer through for the goal stopping that future i will watch this with great interest too early to say if this will be a breakout hit or anything but it has a chance ,kinda surprised how few people are watching it though |

| The main protag with blue hair !! absolutely i will watch this show |
| Moe is Love ! Moe is Life ! |
| This episode was much better. Only it didn't prompt me to continue watching. |
| Incredible. That was a breathtaking episode! This is a contender for AoTS, didn't expect to get so much emotion in the 2nd episode. I'm loving the characters, Matsumoto is fun and quirky, I actually don't how fast he talks. |

| Mannn this anime has absolutely gorgeous visuals, such a pleasure to look at. Also, RIP the 12-year old, Though we only saw her once I kind of liked her, and she was clearly close with Vivy so it's kind of sad that she's apparently dead.. |
| clannad is the greatest piece of fiction to ever exist. |
| I was expecting some cheap Music anime and got good Gore and Drama. I will keep watching. |
z00nex said: The scene where she was running through broken glass pieces was sick, she looked a lot like Miku. Oh shit I didn't see that ending coming, felt really bad for Vivy. Nobody foresaw that ending because it made no sense. They shook hands and on the next frame a construction mech slammed Diva into a wall. Was several minutes of footage missing from Funimation? |
| Very impressed with this episode, especially visually. Some plot devices with the bear were there, but overall, I was really gripped into the tone of this episode and interested with the themes involved with the world itself. Pretty great scenes too with some nice action too, complemented by how well the show looks with many shots looking wallpaper-worthy while fitting the SciFi theme really smoothly. |
| Is cool and stuff,but the time-travel is basically Steins Gate with just the date being able to travel, because Matsumoto receive live feed from the future? And in this Japan, safety is for dumb people? We have a large terrorist organization. Highly functioning AI with body to withstand a huge piece of reinforced concrete, but dubious mechanics for a plane of that future. Would be interesting be police, after all looks like you do nothing. Looking at the first 2 episodes, wasn't a surprise the AI getting crazy in 100 years. |

This is not what anyone would like. These kinds of actions literally spark a war. The technological aspect is pretty advanced but not in a good way. By sparking a war, are you talking about Humans vs. AI? I don't think AI are advanced enough at this point in the story to start a war. The thing is if you've studied AI or how to design AI you would know that AI doesn't have to be advanced enough to take it's own decisions. Even a short AI code of 5-10 lines would make decisions on its own because it's an AI. And even if it didn't take any decision at that point, it atleast learnt from its past to not make the same mistake. Yeah, it's not advanced enough but the fact that a war would be there in 100 years proves that AI learnt about its survival to the point that they are now a threat to humanity. The way AI works is it is actually built to act like a human being and learn from its previous mistakes and not repeat them. So, if humans are threatening their existence, AI would definitely make measures for their survival. And in 100 years, the AI is obviously advanced enough to erase the human race completely. You're right but that's just how AI works. Idk... you might already be an AI expert who knows... Lol |

| I liked the deeper exposition for the characters and I thought this was better than the first episode. It's cool having two back to back lol |

Was several minutes of footage missing from Funimation? Here's what happened: While the bear was showing Vivy the future article, she noticed another future article that reported an entire plane blowing up. One of the people who was on the plane was the girl from the start of ep1. Vivy wants to go save the people on the plane, but the bear stops her, because he doesn't want her to change the timeline more than is necessary. The why was obvious, but skipping several minutes of content is amateur editing at best. Coupled with Funimation's streaming issues on Apple TV and WebOS puts me off. You say she noticed another article, but that was not shown in my feed. It was handshake, airplane sound, and then her flying into a wall nowhere near where they were. Sloppy. |
| Seems like Tappei will go all out with this series |
 |
| ok this is hype af, probably going to end up as one of the most underrated/underpopulated anime of this season. i'm really digging this plot, the characters are interesting too. WIT never disappoints, hope this turns into something amazing. |

Ryuseishun said: Other than the last scene which felt too compressed a whiplash and should've been saved for the next episode, this was quite an intriguing premiere. I too felt that it should have been built up more and saved for the next episode. However, as a counterpoint, for shows like these (involving time travel gimmicks), there are plenty of individuals who have seen the device of trying to change history to save loved ones and have gotten used to it. I do feel there was a lack of emotion for this character but the audience is able to connect and fill in the dots as to what happened and insert some parts. Also, I dont hear the bear. All I Hear is King from Seven Deadly sins. Also, I didn't know he was lelouch from Code Geass. |
"Perfection is perception. For me, humanity's imperfections is what makes it perfect"  |
| The animation is great, wit is such a great studio imagine if aot S4 would have looked this much beautiful , whatever I am really hyped for the next episode , The only complain I have that the dialogue is very fast passed it's really hard to read the sub title when the bear start taking |
| that was even better than the first ep holy shit. high hopes for this anime i hope they dont fuck it up. ending scene was heartbreaking |
| Another great episode. This has definitely exceeded my expectations so far. The animation is stellar. This is moving really fast - the little girl dying in that plane crash, and the next episode preview is in space?! They really gonna fit 100 years into one season? God damn. |
| Every season there is an origional anime which has a good beginning but most of the time the ending is disappointing.But we still have hopes,the unpredictable plot is really attractive. We all know Nagatsuki Tappei who writes enjoyble Re:Zero,but few one knows his another work ,Sigrari ,is a complete trash.However,I still believe in him and Wit Studio. Hope their cooperation can bring us a surprise. These two advanced episodes are of high level ,especially the music,Kousaki Satoru is god! !The toy bear's seiyuu is Fukuyama Jun,his very fast talking and robot-like intonation are really amusing.Some funny lines with a cold face of Vivy is really intresting.But it's a shame to see the last scene that the little kawaii girl died because of the air crash.She knows the end but doesn't have the ability and permission to change it,that's too sad.In addition it still tells us,it might be an anime with many tears...  |

| Wasn't expecting back to back episodes, though I'm late anyway lol. But damn, this is going to be a fucking ride, and I'm all hype for it. |
| This show is fucking gorgeous, that was another really great episode, I really hope it keeps it up. If this show can give me the existential dread that Nier: Automata gave me or even somewhere near it, then this show will be fucking amazing. Vivy and Matsumoto are really great, especially Vivy. That end scene was pretty sad though damn, but that eye shot was so fucking beautiful. I wonder how Vivy and Matsumoto will see eye to eye, no pun intended. They definitely have clashing beliefs. That kid terrorist that Vivy saved will either be a bigger threat later on or he'll become a supporter of Vivy, I hope it's the latter. Well, this show is exceeding expectations so far, really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Wow, didn't expect an action packed episode right off the bat. Curious to see if the story will continue to go on a darker route (which honestly I would really prefer). Production level seems off the chart. Thought I was watching an anime movie there for a second. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| So this is like super simplified and super edgy version of GITS (plus some other famous cyberpunk titles) for teens...still the saving grace is that Jun Fukuyama and Atsumi Tanezaki are doing mazing and a bit crazy voice acting. Also nice visuals. |

| Hm, kinda weird they give such a sturdy body to a robot with a simple A.I. which programming is just sing. Also Matsumoto "mission" seems like a fool's errand, sure it's unlikely that most if not all A.I. be it in a robot or not will get "human rights" but IMO it seems unavoidable that someone will make A.I. similar to us, with feelings and being able to suffer, so it's almost guarantee that people eventually will see those as our equals and demand they be treated not as objects but as living beings. But I guess that's where the show is going, something like beatless, just that instead of the pro-robot side they're showing the anti-robot side. |
| I honestly thought at first this was gonna be like a idol anime such as love live and other show but I did not expect this lol... it is gorgeous visually and one of the most interesting shows of spring 2021 so far... I mean there's still others to air but right now, I'm pretty excited for this one |
| Well, we got some great stuff this episode, but the last scene. Holy fuck man. Damn, my condolences Vivy. |
| --AbiSa-- |
| Fucking awesome fucking anime, WTF, WTF lol. Honest, yeah ITS really fucking good, I though at first it like a war with song lol.. I'm not read the Description about this anime, I just jump to it, and oh boy I'm surprise by how good this two first Ep. GG |
| Yay, Vivy is great! Fuuuuuu, why the little girl?! |
| Totally missed out on the fact there were already 2 episodes out... oops. I am sold on the setting already. Animation and sound is so phenomenal and I am honestly in love with the characters. Eventho Vivy/Diva (not sure how I want to call her right now) managed to save that one guy, but damn this journey to prevent a war won't come without sacrifices... OMG that plane scene stings... The one friend Vivy/Diva probably had and Matsumoto didn't allow her to save the little girl. Cause on this 100 year journey, you can't save everyone. That is truth being spoken, but still that hurt. |
 |
| Really like the series so far, I trust WIT to create something great. |
| I'm enjoying it so far. Seems it'll get deeper and deeper. Good animation, OST... Thank you Tappei-sensei |
 |
| Another great episode, but I really dislike the bear ^^' He talks too fast, is generally annoying and the ending of this episode didn't help either tbh. Poor girl :< |
There's no possible way you can steal my heart    I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy |
| That was superb, Vivy doesn't have emotions give me a break, who said that. loved how she collapsed the building just to cross to the other one felt like Hollywood movie thing. also that hologram trick Matsumoto did a big one them, kinda would have loved if he buried them inside but whatever. |
| I wonder how future established events will play out now that Matsumoto is ''adjusting'' the past/timeline. Will Vivy manage to find a way to repeat incidents again (and again?) so that she can save her first human friend or is will that really the end of the line for the people on that plane? |
| It's insane how this isn't at the top of MAL's Spring 2021 anime right now. I loved these first two episodes and I'm excited to see what the rest have in store. |
 |
| Wow this exceeded my expectations, amazing start. Shows a lot of promise. Definitely looking forward to the future episodes, hope it won't disappoint. The visuals are stunning, especially the close-ups on her eyes and face when she saved the guy from the rock. I usually don't like characters with not a lot of emotion, even if they're AIs/robots, but I'm already loving Vivy. I also like the bear, his fast way of talking is hilarious. The last few minutes threw me off though, that transition came out of nowhere and I had to go back a few seconds to double-check I somehow missed something. I feel like it would've been better if they just ended it with Vivy shaking hands with the bear and placing the rest after the ending credits. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| So far it looks great and i like it. Diva is a AI but her emotions and character looks very humans like. It always a human fault we humans started with building this AI and look what happened.! wit <3 |
