@GakutoDeathGlare what's wrong with the plot? this was already shown several episodes ago also if you think this is a really bad drop off of a show there are ones that are way worse, but yeah don't see where the drop is even know this was hinted at in ep 7
| @AurasNep It's simply a subjective personal preference. Some may like this tonal shift to a more sci fi/crime drama related plot, I liked it for it's more simplistic style in the beginning. |
Reply to Sondfer
Is that just a same melody or Evangelion reference in the end?
| @Sondfer Yes, I believe it's Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" |
| The "humans enslaved to AI" concept is pretty laughably executed here (the entire show feels a bit like a poorly made caricature at this point), but as a certified AI hater just the idea alone is enough to give me the chills... I didn't know what to expect when I started this anime, but it certainly wasn't this kind of escalation. "AI used to help humans, but now it's the other way around. That's all there is to it." Terrifying, absolutely dystopian... and a future I'm not so sure is entirely impossible at this point. Konoha lowkey getting the Evangelion treatment from evil America man™ may have made me chuckle a bit. |

| How many PC-98s do y'all think Mamoru owns? In the original current time Konoha lived in, did Teslas also exist? Why didn't Konoha just run away when the robots started to approach her? Weird that Toya didn't want Konoha to approach her. God I fucking hate Konoha's voice, its so freaking annoying, high pitched, and so whiny. I wonder if Mamoru and Konoha will date or something, because I totally see it. This is such a mess and took just a drastic turn with only 1 episode left. Why bring aliens into this?? |

@Kiryotsu i literally turn down the volume when she talks cause her voice is so annoying, i can't believe this is the same VA who voiced kaguya and komi.
| @aloradear lmaoooo I also turned down the volume when she started yapping. I hate it so much |

| Toya-chan deserve a slap to the face also. She is practically cool with kidnapping as long as her company survives. What a selfish woman. It would have been better to just let the company go under than to commit a crime especially more the crime is towards her idol |
Reply to NoHeart
@MichaelJackson What about Steins;Gate and Chaos;Child
| @NoHeart now that you mention it, they still do it. thats why Konoha needs to fix up the timeline |
| :v |

| @MichaelJackson She has to because that dystopia is horrific! All the entertainment under yanki control, that's hell!! ``(>.<)´´ |
My candies:  |
| It gets weirder and weirder as we go on. I'm assuming the white haired alien characters are gonna be back next episode hence the UFO at the end but it's getting exciting now. I honestly expected a visual novel creation anime without everything else but this is good too. |
 |
| I wasn't going to say anything for the rest of this series, but what even was this episode |
 |
| This is truly a dystopia eh, using real brains to work as AI to make games it went too far lol, and now we even have aliens or whatever it was at the end ahaha, this is going really far indeed |
 |
| I only have one thing to say, what the fuck. We really went from a cool anime where they do vn to this, I guess the ovni are the ones that Mamoru has seen when he time travelled, it's sure gonna be really interesting next episode. |
| I like everything, ok |
| Wtf is even happening lmao. What else are they gonna add on. Isekai next? |
 |
| I don't like that Glenn fellow one bit. I wouldn't be sad at all if he somehow managed to get at least seriously injured next episode. Touya-chan is hot so I'll forgive her. |
 |
| I like the twist of fate how Toya went from manipulating men to being manipulated by corporate control over her from her selfishness lol |

| It kinda broke my heart to see Toya crying about needing to make games when so much of this anime is making games because you're passionate about them and love them. This is more pulling in from last episode and my feelings only now pouring out into this episode, but I'm not sure how I feel about the lowkey 'America ruins everything and doesn't understand the essence of the things they borrow' element, but in a way they're not wrong. Folks from other cultures in the US are already more than familiar with that. The complete disrespect and lack of care taken in understanding the actual passion behind what makes the things the average US citizen/company pretty much steals actually beautiful is often so ridiculous. Like people have been talking about this for so long and no one listens. They say folks are gate keeping, they say folks are butthurt, and then they pull out the whole "we're a big melting pot, so we all share the same things" crap. Like okay but when you're actually passionate about something and understand its original nature you know when things don't look, sound, or feel right. We're not just complaining. We just know. Much like in this anime, you see a kinda butchered version of what you know and love it's just hard to not say something about it. I'm not even saying others shouldn't touch things created by others, just that, yeah there are certain things that make the things we do what they actually are, and that's just something to note going forward when people create. On the other hand, yeah sorry, I don't believe for a sec that people would accept that art so much over the typical anime-style art. Even today with people being A-Okay with America's art styles becoming more and more based in realism, I think there are many people who still prefer bishoujo-style art-- or just anime-style art. It's everywhere in Japan-- even on ads for big companies! It's even coming to the US-- more as a novelty, but it's here. They said there was pushback in the anime when they changed art styles, but in the end it's not "cute" but it's a more mature style in the first place. I don't think anyone looks at American games and says the art style is cute. They say it's realistic, not cute. I just don't think anyone would have honestly been able to convince people that the art style was cute. I'll look this over though. |
Reply to phantomfandom
People that want to feel nostalgic of 1990-2000 era is gonna be disappointed with this futuristic ending.
| @phantomfandom Idont think so, i liked it, the production value is low but the message is clear...you see many reference of our current situation IA, Meta, inmersive reality, many tech advances but lack of passion..I still remember those days is a nostalguc anime for sure,at least for me |
| U U U U U~ IT'S ACTUALLY A UFO... BRUH 😆 I actually like this series up to the creation of last waltz, but yeah, the plot twists are getting out of proportion. 🤣 I was actually looking forward to something like "the creation of old series in various forms", not this cr*ppy sci-fi flicks. I need bishoujo's creation... 😭😭😭 Damn, the author made me hate this series for giving up on it. Their knowledge of bishojou games already ran out, I suppose. |

| 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. |
