The true test of Towasa's LC Project bringing in the 6 Sages (of which they would help develop the Outside Series), but the terrorist act on Towasa more than just immobilized her dream of the perfect marriage with Akira, even her reproduction is next to impossible that tests have not been conducted on uteruses and the like, that both had to put their career research and marriage forward in full support, despite creating human nanomachines that had as much fanfare, as is naysayers with Akira being her guinea pig to upgrade humanity. The so-called femtoblood fusion of human and machine, truly was the beginning of the end as their experiment, which was supposed to better humanity, gave others the notoriety to hack and submit the converted human nanomachines to their will, that came the downfall of the genius scientist herself.

Even with Towasa's latter AP of Alpha that sounded the global nuclear with assimilating all AI in the world, the infamy that she created the very thing that ended up backfiring against her, then came the AI War with the Outside Series that wore the very fabric of her being to take down all AI helmed by Tera, with the ultimate progenitors being Yoiyami and Yugure herself. From technology to technology, war to restoration through OWEL restricting the use of AI to become the new world's only powerful entity, and the eventual disappearance of the scientist herself to leave Akira to his own devices until his eventual death.

What remained, was Yugure in Towasa's sheep's clothing, and Akira, in his android self, realizing that he's still the same Akira 200 years ago, in spirit and in truth.

This episode is pretty much the "answer all questions" plot, and what's up with Amoru's rather fast development?
@KANLen09 But the real question, is where are the other 8 sisters and the descendants of the 6 Sages?

Could Oboro be a replica of Tera? (Villains will always leave a legacy for new generations)

So Towasa's project pretty much turned the human brain into a computer. So it's no wonder that some hacker, could hack into people's brain. And cause them to do crimes and spred chaos. So in an attempt to stop all of this, Towasa creates an AI that should help her in this, but like the AI in the "Terminator" movie. It decides that humanity needs to go extinct. (I may have gotten that part a bit wrong.) So in order to stop the Ai she then creates the 12 Androids, and no surprisingly that Yuugure is Towasa's former AI assistant. And after the war and the rebuilding the world as best they can, Towasa and Akira with the scientists creates OWEL, to make sure that things that happened doesn't happen again.

So a heads up for the timeskip, Akira and Yuugure were in a virtual world where yuugure revealed everything to him. Thats why when he woke up amoru aged. Looks like moments in the virtual world is like years in the normal world.

i have to say, the dynamic between the human vs android versions of both akira and towasa is pretty great. i have a suspicion the alpha AI survived and is now controlling OWEL.
@UtakaSenpai I already mentioned that earlier, the real issue, are there any descendants of the 6 Sages? I believe Yorukata and Amoru could be one of them.

When Towasa said she couldn't have kids because her uterus was shot up, I'm yelling at the screen "IN VITRO IS A THING!!!!!" This is Kinda Bad P.A., more like Charlotte or The Day I Became a God than trash like Glasslip or HaruChika.

The last two eps will most likely be a convoluted mess that won't leave most folk satisfied.

This single episode had more plot than the last seven or eight episodes combined lol
Even though they dumped the whole thing into this one, it was still quite a nice episode.
Whatever Towasa wanted to do always ended up going the wrong way..poor girl couldn't catch a break πŸ’”πŸ’”
Seeing Yuugure and android Akira endup together made me happy but still I wish Towasa and Akira lead a happier life without all those sufferings that were caused due to the LC Project.
And that ending left me confused. Has Amoru grown up ? How long has it been ?
Or is this how Amoru has looked all long and only now Akira has started to see her real look after learning that he's an Android?

That was A LOT for an episode, would have rather had them feed us information throughout the journey instead of just giving it all at once, but i guess we have our answers. I still feel like this was such a wasted anime. They had so much potential but instead going in a direction that really didn't flow right with the premise. I enjoy the characters and the world the story on the other hand just feels there, like its not really drawing you in like when someone reads really monotone, just to get the story across. With the end another time skip. not a fan of those, Someone was saying Yuugure was showing him in a virtual world what happened, so once they were done time had passed. But with them being androids couldn't they give information almost instantly?

I don't think that's what happened. Maybe that's how Amoru has always looked.

It was an excellent episode, I really enjoyed it.

But what was the point of the previous 8 episodes? It feels like nothing happened if they hadn't existed, and I think that's the biggest problem with this anime.

Why can't I shake the feeling that one of the six sages is a traitor? I really feel sorry for Toasa and Akira; life has been hard on them. The new design for the grown-up Amora is nice.
@ShiroAlex So you are saying that Tera isn't the only villain?

And also you might want to keep an eye on important characters, there could be descendants from the Six Sages. Names were revealed.

after a lot of bad arcs, or unnecessary eps and events we get to see 2 eps full of peak

damn, seeing what yuugure was talking abt really does tell everything now, towasa really does have a great sin, she started an enormous war that ended up with js less than 200 mil ppl lived, and before that she did a lil things that starts to work with blood ( i forgot what was it's name ), she really did a lot of things will never be forgotten and yes she tried to help it but that really doesn't mean anything after seeing more than 7.8 billion die bcs of u

but if i want to talk abt our character the android akira i would he's now free of everything, like he can do what he wants, like after he knew he's an android what is stopping him from marrying yuugure? cuz the marriage of towasa belongs to the original akira not to the android, tbh i really did see the anime so bad like i stopped watching it, but now its really interesting af but it really took too much time

5 / 5 really enjoyed can't lie it was great

it's funny how you can watch the first 2-3 episodes (episode 0 included) and then this one, and still come to the same conclusions and have the same understanding of what happens in this show with someone who watched the whole show from start to finish. whoever wrote this series this way needs to go and read some sf books or watch good movies sth idc, because it's not ok to infodump the whole reason and existence of what's happened in 1 epsisode before the grand finale (exactly the same way as Mettalic Rouge).

my main problem is that the "worldbuilding" part from the middle of the show was way to goofy, random and goes from bland to worse, with the comic cartoon villains who get punched once and do the blinking star into the sky haha effect and the "can we non-stop elseah this, elseah that spam". And also the library incident... fk this show, it deserves a better writting team, it's so sad how watching original shows like this one are always a flip of a coin away from being a masterpiece or dogshiet, no in-between.

tf he slept again?!!
So all the secrets were revealed in this episode and now maybe he would look for Towasa or that person who caused all this chaos (maybe that guy Oboro) or maybe to stop Owel?
Anyway, I think this anime is a projection of AI revolution that's happening these days just like when COVID-19 appeared, there were a manga and anime created for that as I recall

Are you telling me they assembled a team of the most intelligent humans in the world, and none of them realized that anything electronic that can connect to the internet can get hacked? The moment that scene started, I thought to myself "There's no way in hell I'm injecting that into my veins". Don't get me wrong, it's a cool idea but the way it started is dumb.

The concept and setting that drew me in at the start is finally back and stronger than ever. After enduring what felt like a season worth of harem slop, we finally got back to some actual story in this last two episodes. Did we really need 6 episodes of whatever the fuck that was before getting to the actually interesting stuff?

This was absolute garbage and you're ridiculous if you feel sorry Towasa.

Ruined humanity with the jab (things that can connect to the internet can get hacked? whoa...), then made things even worse with her AI, goes from "I must take responsibility" to trying shoot herself to get out of it, and finally abandoned the one person who stuck with her throughout this entire mess.
The main hacker is almost certainly one of the six so getting that guy on board was her fault as well.

Oh well, it was all an honest mistake, no biggie, just some billions dead.

Best episode without a doubt, not that is a good thing tho. The story told by Yogure would've been and excellent sci fi thriller on itself and a much better anime for sure.

The overall frustration stands: there were really good ideas but no one cared to pull them off.

Indistinctly of how this anime ends my final rating is a 6.

PD: fuk Towasa.
PD2: i feel bad for anyone who's impressed by this shitty and cheap trick of revealing everything everywhere all at once.

Towasa destroys the world, creates more catastrophe trying to undo her previous catastrophe, her stupid ideas unleash global holocaust and the ensuing power vacuum creates a one- world government under her guidance that turns out to be power hungry and corrupt. Her ambition goes unchecked with zero failsafes or foresight or counsel, and naturally, disaster occurs. Yet she is entrusted once again to try and fix it with what? The very things that initiated destruction on a global scale. And to top it off, she vanishes and avoids trial, accountability, or punishment for her crimes against humanity. We're supposed to feel bad for her because she can't have kids... Good riddance to Towasa. She's the worst kind of villain.
@Otosan_Pops 100% agree. She's just like any real world billionaire to be honest.

I tried so hard not to laugh when they suddenly realized people could still get mind-hacked AFTER everyone had already been vaccinated… but I swear, I just couldn’t. It was so ridiculously stupid xD

The whole AI-themed angle of the show is actually pretty interesting, I just wish the story focused on that instead of the weird “relationship” stuff they’ve been seeing for a while now.

Towasa is fucking stupid

I don't want to be unfair because it doesn't differ much from the "scientist that trying to make the world better dooms it instead" archetype, but did she even try?

We're gonna make humans waking computers, what about security? not even a simple antivirus. And four eyes "sage" is stupid as well. Sure telling towasa wouldn't change anything, but did he seriously think nobody would notice this?

But that's nothing, here comes the alpha bit. She didn't just ask for a suggestion before going forward, SHE GAVE HER FULL REIGNS FROM THE GET GO! Chatgpt if left unmanaged turns into mega Hitler and she just casually gave alpha access to nukes! At least that's what it seemed like, didn't see any resistance.

This anime is stupid.
The polyamory stuff is stupid, the villains are stupid and Towasa is the cherry on top.

As someone who has really enjoyed this show, this is probably the first episode where I wasn't really feeling it. Far too much all being revealed at one time without any sort of nuance or integration with what was currently going on. I didn't really need a play-by-play explanation of what had happened, I mean, it's an AI war and the world was in ruin, the dots could be connected without spending an entire episode showing everything that happened. πŸ˜‚

Am hoping that this finishes strongly, but this got me a bit worried.

Well now. That was a quite satisfying episode because of all the questions it answered. Seems to me that Towasa's mistake was to create Alpha without a moral framework and it's logical conclusion was to eliminate humanity. Whether it actually considered a solution for the femto hacking is unknown. I do wonder what has happened to the other outside series. Are they still kicking about, and what are they to do about OWEL? Seems that the organization has devolved into an oppressive authoritarian state. So many more loose ends, but only two episodes to wrap it up.

Episode 9 and 10 is trying to right the ship that was sinking since Ep 2. I still dont think the show can be saved at this point, but at least it is interesting enough in the last couple eps for me to push through.

Got a lore episode, would have been better had they spread it out instead of the filler eps in between.2 eps to go, i wonder how they are gonna tie it all together

would have been better if this was 2 cours, man. the story was mid from EP 2 to 8 and took a huge turn for the best at ep 10. I mean, c'mon. EP 10 was the best episode we got since EP 0. off, they dumped the entire lore on us but I understood it all and I didn't hate it. smh. just 2 more episodes to go, yea? this is gonna be rough. if there isn't a s2 or part 2, my rating is gonna be 6. EP 10 was peak and the best episode yet but it still can't change the fact ep 2 till now were meh.

Cyberpunk lesson, If that piece of tech is capable of connecting to the net then it is definitely hackable.
For someone as brilliant as Towasa, I wonder why she never considered that possibility and it doesn't help that the bots literally bonds on a cellular level, that's some crazy stuff right there and I can't help but think that the traitor might have been one of the sages but looks like the show just speed ran it by telling us they don't know who leaked info. Oh well

I 100% agree, it felt like this show had so much potential. The characters were good the animation was great, the story just fell apart. now that you mention metallic rouge, it does kind of feel like that too. it's terrible writing when you just info dump like that, you want to slowly trickle it in and have the characters find things, as they progress through their adventure, it feels more natural and keeps the audience drawn to the story. it's almost like they kept going on all the side quests and ignoring the main story.

That was more lore and worldbuilding than the most of the animes (yes, Solo Leveling, i'm looking you)
I really like the tone of the episode, and the story is a bit more complicated than I though at first. The only detail that I can't stop reparing is that 40yo Akira is exactly the same look of 18yo Akira, they could put a lillte more effort to age him in the various time skips that this flashback have. Also, the anime is have ANOTHER time skip in the ep 11... it's a thing now.

I really hope they conclude something about the love polygon Akira x Yugure x Amoru, my little incovinent artist deserves a happy end too

I suppose a part of me always knew that this episode couldn't be anything but bad if they were going to cram an entire miniseries worth of infodump into episode 10 out of 12. However, it surpassed even those expectations with the nonsensical sequence of events and actions that led to AI taking over and destroying the world: Practically the entire world(!) makes an about-face and suddenly trusts Towasa to inject everyone with AI nanomachines; she and her Mensa team didn't have the imagination to suspect that nanomachines could perhaps be hacked before distributing them across the globe(?!); she creates a new AI to help her solve the problem only for it to immediately settle on genocide as the solution, and she didn't build in any kind of safety measures before activating it; somehow she can magically create an entire line of androids that aren't susceptible to the evil AI, to combat it; with the genocidal AI defeated, the group that was responsible for setting the entire disaster and ensuing war in motion is still allowed to lead the whole world; and in order to prevent another such catastrophe, they decide to rule through fascism and outlawing computers and history. Uff-da!

On top of all that, Towasa's decision that she cannot possibly marry Akira anymore felt more like it was ordained by the plot, rather than a believable conclusion that couldn't eventually be overcome at some point in a lifetime of living with Akira and working through these feelings with him. And I truly hope that Towasa's attempt to take her own life wasn't meant to engender sympathy for her, because it read less like tragic despair and more like an irresponsible monster trying to escape the immense, world-dooming problems for which she is entirely responsible. And she finally ends up accomplishing that anyway by simply disappearing from the totalitarian-led world at the end of it all. Brava.

but what he did was creating something that destroy the whole world what is the meaning of that
and I have a question the main purpose of doing everything for towasa is able to leave a good and family life with his love but in the end they got separated and most likely Akira is also date so what she achieved from his research
