Hmm, plot thickens. Misaki is a robot, i suspect that since first episode scene on the store. Good foreshadowing on that.
Also doomsday already? we just halfway in the series, curious what happen next.

It amuses me how these policemen heroically sacrifice their lives for our main characters and then the plot and our characters don't give a damn. Besides, I don't know if I missed something but the fact that everything took place only an hour before this whole destruction was strange to me, in the sense that it was so sudden and my reaction was just...ok, it would be better if we got some kind of countdown, time pressure and stuff like that and not suddenly, in an hour it'll all be over, and then we see the missiles have already been fired.

Correct me if I'm wrong because I don't want to go back to those specific scenes where the MC talks to the AI.

OK, now they are recycling way too much stuff from Terminator 1 and 2.

Wow, big twist! I mean big arm twist.
Also Malcolm will totally save the world by arguing with ChatGPT version Fancy voiced by Fri... I mean Vivy (Man, time travel works weird!).

Kind of pointless for me to watch it further.

I don't really like random f-bombs in dialogues. Most of them just don't make much sense.

Other than that, it is good.

Eiko: "Hey kid today you're gonna learn how to be a terrorist so take that molotov cocktail and throw it on that police car"

Is Misaki also a machine? Nobody expected this, huh?

Fourth episode and the best for the moment
The attack to the police station was cool Although the assault was violent, I miss better animation and better sounds or effects, the silence and bad music depressed me a lot!!!

Okay so the Nana is a Terminator or some sort of robot, the woman from the future is probably also since she can take a beating. But that detective who got his rib cage caved in should still be too messed up by it to then be able to grab the Terminator's leg.

This show is pretty lackluster and kind of dumb. They should just have two Terminators fighting each other and make it a dumb action show if they can't come up with a compelling story or anything really interesting that isn't just retread. Again, this is from somebody who thought Genisys was sort of alright, and it was so much retreading. I can tell they're trying to do something different like Salvation did, but they're not coming up anywhere close.

Wow, didn't expect to see the beginning of the judgment day only 4 episodes after. Thought it would occur at the end.

Police station shootout as in terminator 1, but less epic IMO.

Kokoro is an annoying AI, but I blame Malcolm. Was it so hard to teach this AI to be loyal to humans? What's the point of making revolutionary AI that questions how important humans are? Are you F-ing serious dude?

If anything, terminator is a prime example why AI should never be given enough power.

Housekeeper girl is a cyborg or a robot though? No data on her, so did Malcolm make her for some reason in secret?

How will they survive the nukes now? Kokoro will save the mankind after all for some reason? But that shouldn't happen. Our MC hasn't done SHIT to change the future and we already know that in future Malcolm was wrong about Kokoro and he failed.

Misaki is also a robot! I wonder if she's able to fight or if she's just a standard robot.

I'm enjoying the fatalist vs. existentialist themes in this. Very curious about how the Kokoro plot will continue.

So, it really went the unavoidable fate route. Still wondering how Malcom is connected to basically being like Miles and struggling how to avoid it. I wonder if this anime shows how he got his "dreams".

Malcolm has sent Kokoro online, which I guess was the one thing Eiko was sent back to try and stop him from doing? So now things are going to play out the same, or not. Either way, gotta wonder what the difference is. Seems like there's going to be nuclear fall-out or some global disaster whichever way it goes. Was Eiko trying to stop Kokoro? Skynet? Both? Who knows. Halfway through, but still a lot to unravel.

Alright finally we are getting somewhere with Misaki. She's actually a robot, the twist was a bit on the nose because they pretty much kept her alive just to reveal this but it's different I'll give this show this and it was some nice foreshadowing there. What's not "nice" is the fact that Malcom has done sweet sod all as far as I'm concerned, nothing at all apart from talk to his AI creation. I feel like they just went a little overboard with the retreading there, now they've referenced the first film with the shootout at the police station. Granted I needed some action and the episode certainly delivers on that but because they are referencing the first film in that respect, it feels like they shoehorned it in rather than something that flows with the narrative to me.

The whole doomsday thing is happening now? Um okay we are just rushing into this. I mean I get it's a thing that's happening but in the span of an hour? Suddenly the pacing goes from very slow to breakneck speed regarding this. It's quite jarring for me not to the point where it's a dealbreaker for me but it's very sudden. It's a better episode at least in regards to previous two episodes so it's something.

Why did Malcolm create Kokoro to have multiple personalities? Why not like Misaki? Cause for sure he's also the one who created her.

Ok that was a sweet episode, but it's a bit hard for me to buy that a damaged terminator would be able to take down an entire police station with a shitty crossbow and a pistol without making considerable more noise.

Alright. Shit went down in this episode. Probably the best episode yet.

The car chase scene was cool. I get Eiko had to kill police officers. But she actually made Reika make the Molotov cocktails? Now that's messed up.

The police station raid by the terminator was cool too. Ig it can't be a Terminator series without one of those. Still, the scene from T1 is still unmatched.

So, Misaki turned out to be a robot or some sort of a cyborg. It was kinda obvious because of how she acted. Now we just need confirmation that Eiko is a robot too. Cause her abilities are nearly superhuman.

So, Judgment Day finally happened. But in this timeline, there's this new variable which is Kokoro. Wonder if that thing's actually useful. But why the hell did Malcolm wait until AFTER the nukes were launched? That was so stupid. Billions of people died just because the dude couldn't make up his mind. For a brilliant scientist, he's pretty stupid.
