THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This episode feels like it serves as a celebration to the audience with their singing talent. Ophelia is also back on stage.

Vivy as usual took her job very seriously. I do also find it amusing how much personality they gave to an AI, to make it seem more like a human character.

That was one hell of an episode. Starting with Diva having this big character change which made it seem like she got reformatted. Later turns out that she did indeed get restarted. Matsumoto also got a weird change in character. Like why does he suddenly care for Diva? Just force her to do your bidding like the previous episodes. This time seems to be the opposite of ep1 where Diva instead insists on helping. Ophelia going to commit suicide sure was a shock. Wonder what happened for her to do such a thing.

Funimation Fucking up yet again and don’t have the episode up lol. 80 dollars a year for this BS

Alright episode is FINALLY up on funi. Shoutout to the dude last week who predicted Vivy killing AI from last week would cause her to have an identity crisis. Really good setup episode for next week’s new challenge, preventing the first AI suicide.

After last week’s pain and suffering we deserved a nice, slower and more fun episode, definitely got that this week with Diva’s performances.

So Diva got reformatted after the huge shock from the suicide last ep. Hopefully she'll not break again after recovering that painful memory

Ophelia tops the cute list for the Sisters at the moment, but holy hell the Singularity Point this time is her suicide?!

The beginning with Bivy singing was pretty dope. That song was really good. Also, there seems to be a change in her personality. She looks much happier which is sweet.

We also got to meet Ophelia, another AI. She seems clumsy but adorable. It was fun to see that Vivy also cares about if someone called her 'old' just like humans. Ophelia's singing is beautiful just like her.

Vivy doesn't remember anything, even Matsumoto. Her memories are all gone. It's funny to see how much she changed after what happened in the last episode and how much of a girl she's acting like now.

There has to be a season 2 . Only few episodes left and a lot to do. I bet it will be a rushed or a mediocre ending if they fit everything in this season

Things are getting really interesting. I liked the interaction between Diva and Matsumoto.

Oh, no. Poor Ophelia must be protected! She's so precious. It was cute when she called Diva her big sister. Her performance was also beautiful. I love her voice.

Interesting change of character for both Vivy and Matsumoto. I wonder how vivy will end up by the end of the season considering she’s been developing for 60 years already now, and how much her old memories will play into it

This turn of events huh.. guess they are keeping in touch with Vivy's human(?) nature..
tho.. i would say.. i like this Vivy then a depressed and silent one.. it almost hurts to imagine that Vivy went into shock from the events in the previous episode..
Also.. Ophelia got some sweet ass voice!

So that shock at the end of episode 6 was too much for her to bear, she froze, had to reboot and lost her memories in the process, wow. I do like this new Vivy personality but I loved the old Vivy more so please comeback. I never really like the amnesia trope so I really hope the old Vivy will be back soon.

Matsumoto and Vivy interactions were amusing in this epi. Also woa AI suicide? Why thou?

It is likely the fatal error she had is the closest AIs can be to be mentally broken. Matsumoto is a bastard, but he cares for her as she is crucial to the mission. Maybe, he is evolving past his original programming as well and developed certain attachment to her in the past decades. I can't recall how many years have passed since Metal Float but I guess that was 15, 20 years before?

That concert sure was a great way to start the ep with. So that was the main stage huh. Still after the reboot looks like she's lost all her memories. Ophelia's song though really was impressive. Still she's rather clumsy huh. Still Vivy enacting the devil's equation was one hell of an action. Looks like she's lost none of her persistence either. Vivy's interrogation of Matsumoto really was well done. While her memories are still locked i guess its nice that her trademarked determination and desire to find the truth is still here. Their next mission though sure is quite unusual one but one that i hope they succeed in. Overall an interesting ep that featured quite a display of Vivy and Ophelia's singing abilities via their assigned singers that combined well with the tension and witty dialogue that Matsumoto and Vivy exchanged after their reencounter.

This series is trash , and I am not even mentioning the inconsistencies with episode. I am talking about the most important thing in this show ,vivy , they build her character for half a series just to throw it all into a bin . A remainder that vivy is the only character which has been getting any sort of character development in 6 episodes . Every other character makes episodic entry and goes. That toak guy doesn't even count since he has a screentime of 10 minutes. They destroyed the only thing progressive about this series and this anime is now hot garbage unless they do something about vivy's characterisation. Fanboys of course won't see this problem, they kept insisting how it's not about world building or even about sci fi and technology but about the characters and their development , what about now ?

It's almost as if a shocking event happened last episode to change her personality WOW.

it's almost as she won't come back to her normal self WOW.

It's almost as if there is more from the Toak guy that we don't know as we have seen last episode.

my prediction for the coming episodes: the suicide will trigger diva's memories. and she'll go like: “Yo ophe, in the past, some dude died and i felt bad and kinda crashed. Can you not be cringe and not erase yourself?”
and then ophelia will be like. "ight sure sis, you my homie. my sister from another factory" and then we will not cry at the end of this arc.

Well last time was NieR:Automata now it sounded more like Macross F but without the mecha/space opera elements.
I really rejoiced when Matsumoto appeared.

Ophelia, hummm. Who would be the local version of Hamlet?

A very different, change of tone episode compared to the rest of the series, particularly due to the shock Vivy experienced in the final minutes of the previous episode probably affecting her memories for the most part and just rebooting the whole system in the process to have a new Diva here (although she has faint memories since she did see a person who the old Vivy saw a few times that she slightly remembers but can't recall). Pretty refreshing episode although definitely not the most interesting 20 minutes the show's produced. I however, am curious to see the next episode and the direction the story takes there. Decent stuff overall.

They pulled the amnesia plot device with a time skip. It makes sense that she was reset after the trauma of killing one of her younger sisters and witnessing the scientist kill himself, but it is still an overused plot device.

Nevertheless, the song performances were still good and Matsumoto great as usual.

The timeline is impossible to follow in this show, it s not really confortable to watch.

I feel a bit sad that the artilects are now behaving exactly like humans. What s the point of doing a show with artilect singers.

Well this was a musical episode, a lot of song, which is cool. I believe the mysterious guy is Toak s son. I hae no idea why he is watching from a distance then running away. Maybe they ll discover later than he is the one behind Ophelia's suicide?

Woah. The suicide last episode was big, but I didn't expect it to cause a fatal error to Vivy. This of course was second only in surprise to Vivy having complete amnesia on her life as Vivy.

Speaking on the note of suicide, this episode ends on the same topic. Matsumoto says he's gonna stop the world's first AI suicide, but I'm pretty sure he just did that by saving Vivy from jumping off a building.

wait already over?? i swear this episode felt so short and really good even though nothing huge happened.

Vivy memory loss she got from the shock from last episode had me taken aback.

also they changed the op(this one wasn't really an actual op though). But i was ready to sing along "sing my pleasure" so i was ofc disappointed. i really love that song.

btw ophelia is so cute! i didn't expect she would be the shy type lmao

Really enjoying the way this series is panning out. It was nice to see a more upbeat sort of episode. Been trying to get some friends to jump onto this series but sometimes there's no persuading anime fans I guess lol. The dynamic between Vivy and Matsumoto never lets me down. Animation is fantastic, music as well. Tappei has really outdone himself with this one in terms of his writing. The entire team deserve praise for creating such a good anime original. Hopefully it finishes strong and could be an early dark horse for a top 5 anine of the year for me. Its between this and To Your Eternity for the season so far (I haven't seen Tokyo Revengers or Odd Taxi yet so I may change my opinion in future) its just ahead of 86 which is another series I've been watching this season.

I'm starting to get the feeling that the guy Vivy keeps saving may just turn out to be the guy who sends Matsumoto back in time 100 years in the future, though he could just be one of those involved in triggering the AI-Human war.

This was a nice change from the super serious stuff from some past episodes and I really enjoyed it. I'm honestly curious how they are gonna wrap things up but we still have time left and knowing that the series has been pretty solid for me overall, I think I would be fine with whatever it'll be.

So Vivy rebooted and doesn't seem to remember anything. Looks like the events of last episode impacted her quite significantly.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.
