So small side track question here, is this the same thing that happens at steins gate ep 13 that everyone talks about?

I have tried to get into that show before but it was so slow, but if its the same as this then I really need to check it out, because I really liked the way the mood totally changed here.

can't believe how this has gone from a lighthearted mecha show to a huge world conspiracy about how the human race could be wiped out. I'm not too sure if i should continue to take it lightly but what i can say is I definitively can't wait to see what happens next, also believe there's not gonna be an episode airing next week but will resume week after.

Actually I was quite sure that the style would change e.g. Steins;Gate started in a similar slow way and became amazingly thrilling. Robotics;Note will hence go the same way.

That Steins;Gate reference was kinda' confusing for me... I mean, no one hacked SERN in this worldline, so how could anyone know what happened there?..

Wow what a way to set up the second half of the series with an end of the world plot. All of the "cheaters" that Kai and Frau have been searching for have turned out to be dead plus the Kimijima Kou reports fortell the end of the world. Interesting enough the last episode of Gunvarrel also tells the same thing which connects to Frau's mom and the slaughter of the entire studio. Since the show has been setting all these pieces in place the revelations made a lot of sense and not pulled out of their ass unlike other shows this season that have done similar plot twists.

How is the Gun-Pro 2 going to factor into all this? Does it do something about the solar flares that will happen? Whatever happens I'm going to be along for the ride

Ok, that was pretty interesting revelation, this episode, but...
TOO MUCH for one episode.
I really afraid that it will be as horrendous anime-adaptation like anime of Chaos;Head was.
Just now it looked like:
Nothing happens>nothing happens>nothing happens>nothing happens>EVERYTHING HAPPENS AT THE SAME FREAKIN' TIME!
Just...


Production IG, hell, stop it already. Just do it right, please.
I dare you to make a shitty second half.
Episode was awful. 2 out of 5.
This is what happens when you trying to fit 10 hours of reading in 20 freakin minutes!
At least it feels exactly like that.

Imo.. The first part of this series, they were just trying to finish their giant robot plus Kai didn't really care about the report because it looks like someone jokes.... Then, things got fucked up in this episode when Kai flashed back to previous episodes and the new things from Frau and others.

Now, everything is almost set in the same place.. Hopefully lots of drama soon....

And the action starts *-* Much like Steins;Gate, things are getting serious.

But I mean, this is the pace of the games of nitroplus x 5pb and if you want a well done adaptation from VN to anime, you can't change the pace. The pace is pretty much like any traditional story driven games you find out there. The story AAAALWAYS starts slowly to progress into something awesome halfway to the end.

You can't tell that lots of facts being thrown on our face at this point is bad since it tells me that it will be as good as Steins;Gate.

And, DAAAAAAAMN *-* Kona-chan is just sooo fucking perverted. I don't know how Kai can stand it XD

oh man it took waaaaay too long to get to the serious point.(actually to get finally interesting to me) cant give it a better rating that 6.5-7/10 at this point just for wasting my time with useless episodes which did add absolutely nothing to the main story most of the time. still there are 11 more to go and this can still turn out to be a great show. but sofar its alrite at best.

lets all hope for the best :)

Wow!
It's seems like this is just like Steins;Gate in this aspect: It started being fun and entertaining, but nothing more.
Now it's getting dramatic!
Also, it's wesome how they timed it that there is a episode all about the end of the world on the (believed by some) end of the world XD
Also nice reference to Steins;Gate when they were talking about "that's as hard as hacking the SERN system" or something like that! :-D
Looking forward to next week or wait...we'll have to wait longer :-(

I was wondering when Robotics;Notes was going to get serious. Thank you, just like Steins except Robotics took a little longer to get going. Can't wait to see how it's going to unfold next episode.

On regards to Kimijima Kou, it seems he found out the plan of that Committee of 300 where they were going to fire something towards the sun and create a solar storm wiping out most of humanity. Or something along the lines of that, if I am wrong please correct me :P

His existence I have no clue, but when ever Mizuka Irei, and Misaki hear the word "Kimijima Koi" they get all startled. We also know he was murdered, so I think they may have murdered him related to something, but that's all speculation on my part.

R;N finally getting serious. Just like Steins;Gate it was slow at first, then picked its pace up.

So, Misa is the lynchpin to what is going on. She knows all about Kimijima Kou, but did not share it with the Exoskeleton boss, meaning that she is part of a third group working against the Committee of 300.

This would suggest that when the Committee of 300 came up with their "Mars Plan", Kou Kimijima was part of it, but worked out that some of the aspects were dangerous and rebelled against it. The Gunvarrel final episode either accidentally or purposefully reflected what Kimijima was afraid would happen when the Committee of 300 put their "Mars Plan" into operation. In order to plug the leak, the Committee had everyone involved killed.

Misa is involved with the surviving group and has penetrated Exoskeleton to stop the "Mars Plan".

I am pretty sure that this isn't going to be so simple as to make the Committee of 300 pure evil. So my guess is that the Committee knows that the Earth is going to be damaged, and they are planning something to exploit the sun's distortion to help terraform Mars, which is their plan for saving humanity. Kou Kimijama probably agreed with the plan up to this point, but has figured that the Committee's manipulation won't help save part of humanity, but ultimately kill everyone, so he rebelled. But to the members of the Committee all he has done is to condemn everyone anyways.

The robots being designed are for the Committee to pacify humanity when the inevitable riots which will occur when the sun begins to flare and technology and climate go haywire occur. Not entirely sure yet how this works into the animation at the end, but perhaps what is powering the robots is part of what Kimijima predicts will make the Mars Project fail. We have seen part of this in the news report where exoskeleton products were killing people.

Though, I do have a thought that maybe people we think were killed weren't killed, rather if only part of humanity can be saved, maybe the "elite" have been taken to a special camp for the trip to Mars and their deaths faked. This is a common theme in such SF stories.

I would love to hear what other people think. Maybe I am missing something, but I think this is the direction that RN is going to take (I haven't seen the VN, so have no idea).

I just hate all those secrets so fking much.''Don't dig any deeper on Kimijima Kou!'', ''Forget about Kimijima Kou! everything!''.WHY hiding everything from Kai and us.With each episode we get more things that we don't understand.Misa is annoying.
It was an great episode of course, but it really made me mad.Im hoping for Aki to dig as deep as he can on Kimijima.
ALSO FRAU FOR THE WIN.

Man I loved this episode.

That steins;gate reference to everyone's favourite supah hakah Daru was great.
And The reports talking about how the world ends and then gunvarrel also showing what was said in the reports.
Amazing.

Shit's starting to get real! The buildup is similar to Steins;Gate.

I have a feeling Kai and the rest of the gang are in danger though since they started sticking their nose where it shouldn't be. Or atleast just Kona and Kai.

Either way, I can't wait for next ep! Unfortunately it's in two weeks :(
