| Grandma Nonka's final secret order for Atri of Project Eden, it's somewhere alright, but the lil' Humanoid's still a piece of scrap at the end of the day if they don't figure it out. As expected, Natsuki's grandmother is rather tight-lipped about Eden, on top of her brash attitude, and without a clue, Natsuki and the rest have no leads to go by, until the kids give him a piece of newspaper about his grandmother that formalized a search area to begin with. Despite charting areas for a start, Eden is nowhere to be found, and the fog that was present back then, is now present as well, and it's deliberately man-made so as to hide from possible intruders, even if it meant her own grandson plowing through the heavy currents to reach the mysterious place. With the submarine in one piece, Natsuki found Eden: an island where robots as animals reside to take care of the place, with Atri having a moment with robotic birds. It's quite the man-made mammoth of a job maintaining a gigantic elaborate laboratory powered by automation to prove that her work isn't all for naught from being ridiculed. And right now, she wants Atri to be give a purpose to be in charge of the island, at the disdain of Natsuki having helped Atri regain her heart all this while. A 3 days deadline between destroying Atri's memory or following Nonko's orders, Natsuki didn't want to face this prospect, but what will Atri's ultimate decision be? |

| So they finally found Eden...and despair! |

| Fanservice episode! The girls looked great 😋 Get in the E..energy generator Atri! Man as soon as things start going so well for Natsuki and Atri, accepting how they feel off one another and moving forward together to find Eden, the world comes crashing down around them. Finale is gonna be gut wrenching isn’t it So turns out Eden is more like hell for Atri and Natsuki if they have to part for it to come online.. Natsuki’s grandma putting the 45 day self destruction timer there seems cruel and unnecessary idk. Things were going so well in the garden with Natsuki and atri flirting and then you do this to me 😭 want to next week to come so I can find out what happens but at the same time don’t wanna be heartbroken. |

| The girls looked great in their swimsuits. We finally learned what Eden is and what Atri's connection to it is I so can't wait for the last episode to find out what happens. |
| eden finally revealed, and one more trial for Atri and Natsuki. hoping they deliver well on the last episode :) |
| Mission: Locate a site tied to your final orders and your entire purpose of existing High-performance protocol: Catch a crab On one hand, Nonko trivializing Natsuki's disability as a reason for failing to pursue his dreams is awful, not to mention hard-coding a memory wipe on a robot with a capacity for love. On another, the beetle robots she designed are freaking sweet. |
| Grandma cruel fr. |
| Something great about seeing a robot or loyal servant disobey their masters orders |
| We finally get to see Eden, which means we’re getting near the end.. Looking forward to next ep, I think it’ll follow through the VN ending |

I can get that she could have foreseen the rising of the seas, but how does one person manage to do something like Eden, copy themselves onto an AI, and make so many plans over plans so it all works her way? I kinda don't understand why she didn't just program the location of Eden into the capsule and transfer it to Atri when the battery dies. I thought the intent was that Atri would come out of the capsule on her own, and then just swim there herself, but perhaps she was intending to rely on Natsuki to figure it out even though he said she doesn't rely on others. Then there's also the question of why Atri wasn't just at Eden in the first place, but the answer to that probably has something to do with the 2 second ship flashback we saw from Natsuki. Now that I think about it, they didn't explain why they need Atri in the facility when Nonko has her own AI already running. A lot of questions, hopefully they can wrap things up nicely with just the 1 final episode left. |
Ancientone said: @Marinate1016 Yeah his grandma putting in the 45 day timer is an anime original part. While the time limit existed in the VN (and we are made aware of it from the beginning without the details but with a daily countdown), [VN SPOILERS] Honestly with the number of rewrites of things and the addition of anime original content, they were bound to make a few weird spots like this when tying events back together to get to the ending. Still interesting, but at times it feels more like a derivative work than an adaptation. Not clicking that because I’m playing the vn next week but bet |
|
| I'm not too sold on this episode. If they really make all these deviations only to get back to the VN ending I don't understand the point of it. |
Nice cliffhanger. Bored with the show though. Highlight of the season: |
 |
| My main problem is that I feel the deviations from the source material aren't handled very well in this episode. Turning grandma into a super villain isn't a good move. And don't get me started on the bullshit science that "Earth will be destroyed by the sea levels rising 70 meters." |
| The deal with "I planted a virus in Atri to erase all her memories exactly 45 days after she was awakened" is also such an insane wtf moment. I'm honestly very disappointed. Grandma the precog super-genius. |
Oh and just to drive my point home on this sheer idiocy. Then we have:  https://vividmaps.com/the-world-with-a-70-meters-sea-level-rise/ Yeah, looks totally destroyed to me... |

@Love_And_Forward I´m confused at how the grandma is portrayed here as a "villain" . Not sure if in the novel was the same way.
We are prepared for the heartbreaking last episode, next week.

| @Mione48 No, she's not, and Atri's final order wasn't given by the grandma either. As a side note I still think we are being set up for a somewhat "happy" ending because by casting grandma in the villain role, she ends up something that must be defeated. I refuse to believe all the changes to the source material are for nothing, but I am very disappointed in how they are handling it as of now. |

| So we ended last week's episode with a cliffhanger only to end this episode with another cliffhanger.... and it's not looking too good for Atri and Natsuki. I think that if Atri does defy Natsuki's orders it's because the order for her to get into the capsule is from grandma who is the original owner. Anyway, we'll see what happens in the finale next week and if Atri does get in the capsule maybe it won't be the end of her. On a side note the girls looked great in their bikinis. |
| I can't believe there's only one more episode left... 😖😖😖 |
| 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. |
| I knew it will all come down into this, one more episode to find out if it will break my heart or not. Atri going in the capsule would extend her life and that would be the good time to study and find an alternative. |
| DAMN, MINAMO IS HOT ❤️ GET IN THE CAPSULE ATRI!!! I mean, that's her purpose, Natsuki's Grandma is right, I hate how even tho Natsuki is supposed to be inteligent as shit, he always comes out as a dumbass, like, I get it he likes Atri as a companion, but she is a damn robot, give up already lmao |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
I knew it. The 45 days memory wipe limit sounds silly since how the hell will this help to keep EDEN thing a secret if somebody needs to awaken Atri to locate it in the first place and that somebody will find out about EDEN anyway. |
| Grandma is a bit of a mad scientist. In this world, the establishment was not into climate change so grandma on her own established a place that would save himanity. It's a bit rushed but at least it has this. ETA: I keep wondering what's the sphere Atri is holding in the OP. I suppose it has to do with Eden but we're not given that. |

| Great fanservice from Minamo—Natsuki sure missed out by being a bit of a lolicon and robophile, haha. They found Natsuki's grandmother's last request, "Eden," but at what cost? It turns out Atri only has 45 days left to live. Apparently, the VN handled this better, but here it felt a bit anticlimactic. Plus, it doesn’t make much sense why Atri needs to be the central system of the island if it’s already functioning on its own. Still, with Atri's countdown ticking away, there aren’t many options left, and their likely separation is going to leave a void in me. |
 |
| Well it looks like they found out the mysteries of last episode and things are getting a lil tense. Atri refused an order too dang. How is the last episode gonna play out I wonder. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| This is just looking like forcing the issue. If Atri is sacrificed this way it won't be satisfactory. Not looking forward to the ending it will be sad and maybe bad too. |

| @Quadruple_Oi Such a weak excuse just for the sake of drama (pretty much the same case as in episode 11: if her battery dies, she'll lose her memory). It’s kinda funny how many people overlook such details. As an addition to your post: - Why tf does an autonomous island even need to be managed in the first place? - Why isn’t there manual control if something happens to the capsule or Atri? |

| @Love_And_Forward Guess the author watched the "water world" lol |
| Hmm, as expected there's drama at the very end too. Atri or the world. I'd choose Atri because I don't believe how the world is about to be destroyed due to rising water levels lol. Anyways, I hope the last episode will be good. Here's hoping it won't be sad. |
| Was hoping that there is no other S for this 😑 |
