Aaaand the seriousness of the conspiracy starts.

Great episode. I'm bummed out that they won't be having an episode next week. Frau was really hilarious in this one.

Frau didn't know that Daru hacked SERN, she just said it because something like that is supposed to be impossible. And we viewers get to laugh at references.

Well, quite some things fell into place the last half of the episode though.

Yeah. Stuff isn't really connecting for me completely - but it's going to take time. Finally getting a bit more intense. I can't wait for Thursday!

Depending on how things turn out, I might bump the score up.

Of course, Kona is making me crack up. Sry. ♥

Well, the conclusions I drew from that episode were that Frau's mother knew either about the Kimijima report, or the scientific facts it was discussing (likely the report itself, see below). This meant she knew too much and the group of 300 or whatever it's called had to keep her quiet. She attempted to leak the information in the last episode of Gunvarrel but they either killed her (unlikely), or she had to disappear before she could do it and they hid the last episode from the public. We also know that Misaki Senomiya knows about these things, and that she knew Kimijima Kou back in Tanegashima (Mizuka said so to Kai) so it's all connected. Kimijima also died on the day of the SS anemone incident, which caused Kaito and Aki's condition. The only thing I don't understand is how Frau's mother connects to Kimijima/Misaki/Mizuka.

Damnnnnn did things get intense in those last couple of minutes. Looks like Kai has finally figured out that these reports are serious business. Wonder when the others, like Aki and them, are going to get involved in this.

^ Those conclusions look reasonable to me, especially that part about Frau's mother.

Great episode, really put in a lot of tension in just one episode. I like the experience of clearing the flag with Frau and Kaito in the beginning, it was funny. Then the ending, the last episode of Guvarrel, was great. That really got me, predictable or not. So much suspicion around Kou Kimijima, can't wait to find out why (more details about him rather than his reports only).
This series is developing nicely, although I still haven't seen the connection between their robot and the Kimijima reports (world problem). I guess I'm dull at that, or maybe we aren't supposed to know yet. Anyway, that was a cool way to end the episode.
The thing I don't like, though, are the different supporting characters. Ones such as Misa and her boss, I don't understand their role. Are they a part of the Exoskeleton company? Oh well, can't wait for the next episode. It seems like such a long week for Robotics;Notes to come out, maybe because it started slightly later than the other series.
5/5.

I loved this. Frau is such a standout!

My experiences with conspiracy theories however, have made me cautious. Many authors can build it up, but delivering a satisfactory conclusion is much harder (just look at Lost). Still, all things said, I'll definitely be tuning in next week as well.

Interesting episode. It was probably my fave so far, although at the same time the most confusing.

I may just get into this anime yet (so far it has been ok). Finally starting to give me that Stein's;Gate sort of feel. That being the feeling of being utterly confusing and waiting to see how everything adds up in the end. Look forward to the rest now :3.

Hopefully, things will really pick up starting from this one. More pieces of the puzzle fall into place while the conspiracy deepens further.

Liked the reference to S;G's Daru and the hacking of SERN.

The appearance and disappearance of the top players may have been some sort of scripted event using computer players. Since they were already dead for months.

I'm thinking that the leak of the last episode was also made possible by Kaito finding report #3. Maybe the footage was set to be leaked upon discovery of report #3.

About time things started happening, I hope the pace will go up a notch soon. The comedy in this show is great but I'm watching this for the story which has been way too slow so far.

I agree. I dropped the show because of her.


Refixed. It's perhaps the most poorly written, cliche, cancerous, and juvenile character ever written that wouldn't even exist in a ロボト anime. Her presence alone is dropping this show's rating 2-3 points when it could've been a solid 7 - 8 so far. She's basically this show's version of Inori, but worse.

I tend to agree with this, though there could be a middle ground. Not rushed doesn't necessarily equal "plot begins in middle of the series", but I personally have no problem with the pacing of Robotics;Notes because the slower episodes aren't filler.

Both shows are NoitaminA shows which means if one show takes its time off the other will too.

For this episode, I consider it is the first episode when a lot of the hints and story elements drip-fed to us in the first 10 episodes finally came together and the real threat/challenge really starts to present itself if only not yet very clearly. The series has indeed taken its time.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Looks like the plot is starting to thicken but I doubt many of the big secrets will be revealed anytime soon, more like the investigation has just started. Due to the nature of the show, I can't give it a rating until all the secrets are revealed but so far, it has high hopes of meeting my expectations.

Also, Rosseta dies? I told you Gunvarrel was inspired by Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Main heroine dies, main character spends the rest of life wandering the world alone, so Tengen Toppa.

Oh yeah, my prediction is that whoever found out the "truth" gets silenced somehow. Kona's mom probably found out so she made the last episode of Gunvarrel like that, which was why they got rid of her before the final episode could air. This also explains why the older sister and shop owner don't want the kids to pursue the Kanijima reports anymore yet will not tell them exactly why.

How can no1 know what is happening lol. Basically this episode and all the other episode since Airi showed up have stated that there was something big that involves the destruction of the world via sun/solar storms and that kijima kou was leaving hints behind. Also that Frau mom and the rest of the production staff of Gunvarrel were trying to show ppl what was happen but were unable to release the last episode because they were all kill.

Also about the top 3 players that died. Could it be that each of their names be a hint that was suppose to be given to Frau? idk since i dont know Japanese name meaning.

This :D She's indeed awesome.

The episode itself was great, one of the better for sure. Just like lindsayzzz said - Mind = blown. Crazy episode, I tell you. I guess Frau's mom somehow managed to leaked footage of the episode to warn the people. Also, the dead gamers were probably the most mindfucking part.

Misa's boss looks like some Manwha character :D
