| Peak 100%! I love the people who made this Anime! thanks A1 Studio! |
| Wow, such an amazing episode! I absolutely love the new added scenes that were not in the games. I adore 6O, she's the best Operator and her death scene was so hard to watch. The corruption through kiss scene was an unexpected surprise but a welcome one. This show really knows it's audience. The ending of the episode was brilliantly adapted, I literally got chills and tears from it. See you all on the next episode discussion! |

| Wow, this episode was explosive! (literally 💥) |
 |
| Not sure why some people are that impressed by "the big reveal", this is literally what 9S discovered at the end of season one (if you pause and read the screens). This also was the reason for 2B "hard rebooting" him this season. But yeah, they handled well this part - diverging from the original plot, but also having similar outcome which gives more screen time for certain character. Also for some reason I am shipping 3B with 9S now. |
| Awesome episode confirming what had been strongly hinted at at the end of S1. The battle scenes were top notch, specially when 2B was going all out (the creators providing plenty of service for the otaky too) and the scene with the commander well done. Looking forward to more of this. |

| YOOOOO THIS EPISODE WAS INSANE!!! It answered so many questions, about the frist episode of Season 2! Now it finally makes sense why 2B is frustrated all the time and clenches her fists so often! Poor 9S for being such a good detective... Season 2 is off to an incredibly amazing start and it's only episode 3??????? At least the bright side of all other YoRHa units being destroyed is that there is hopefully no reason for 2B to ever kill 9S again... here's to hoping that 9S and 2B can have a happy end after all of this is over! |

| They revealed that humanity is gone at the beginning of the episode with a narration? I don't really remember how it was revealed in the game tbh but I'm pretty sure it wasn't like this. It was such a big reveal too. I remember how devastated I felt when this revelation hit in the game. The androids were basically fighting aimlessly for a master that didn't exist for centuries. It's just so sad... Sad beyond words. The start of Route C however was handled pretty well I think. A-1 Studio didn't disappoint. Everything from the fight scene animation to the emotional aspects hit just right. However, they cut the part of 60 commenting on 2B getting her flowers. Sure, it was a missable dialogue if you didn't do her side-quests but it was still such a powerful exchange. It's a shame it didn't make the cut and seemingly got replaced by her talking about the Commander putting on her clothes. Oh well. Besides these, this episode was nearly perfect. So far I'm loving Season 2. And it's only been 3 episodes. People are saying that this feels like a season finale when it's only the beginning of route C. Anime-onlies are so not ready for what comes next. Can't wait for the next 1 or 2 episodes with more big twists. |
| Have platinumed the game, but the series is just adorable! Maybe the best series made out of a game ever! |
| Ah, yes. Tragedy + top-tier OST. What a fantastic combination. Seriously, that transition from Commander encouraging 2B to the end credits in a black screen went hard asf. Excellent episode. |
