| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I just love how graceful the OP song is for the series. Also some cute swimming this episode involving Isla as well. Not as emotional as the premiere imo but still had its moments. Kazuki is kinda amusing when drunk lol. I want to learn more about Isla though but so far, she has an interesting chemistry with the others still. The experiments in this show are interesting and I want to see what else the series hopes to explore. |

| Honestly, this show is so unique. Where do you see an anime that is based on someone extracting another's memories and personality? And at the same time making the watchers gaining feels each episode. So smooth during those moments too.. I hope the characters will keep acting the same throughout the show. |

| How to make a guaranteed popular late night anime Prolonged season long dying cute girl->Popular Character Designer/Writer->Crying Anime->"Feels"->Praise -> Instant Classic/Masterpiece Ho hum. ....we can do it all next season with Charlotte too. The formula practically writes itself same as any other. |

| Songs are pretty good , very liked OP's animation :3 Another Giftia left.. it's sad :( And now even Isla's lifespan expires in 2.000 hours.. are you kidding ;( |
| Really nice bonding between Tsukasa and Isla. It's a very well done show overall, but the thing about Isla having her death flag has been quite obvious since the premiere but even I am surprised that she has only 83 days of life left. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| Episode tells us more about the other characters of the organisation. Michiru's starting to like Tsukasa. 83 days and 8 hours until Isla's retrieval. You know where this is going :/ Really classy OP. |
| Not impressed so far. I'll give it one more episode b4 deciding weather to drop or not. |
| So good. So many feels. So much sadness. |
 |
| Loving the OP, but I can't say this episode impressed me as much as the first one did. My main concern is that the comedy might end up derailing the show at some point (though it's not as bad as Your Lie In April's comedy just yet). Still, this was a pretty good episode despite that, and it seems that we're gradually being fed information through the group dynamic of the Terminal Service. And then right at the end came the confirmation of what we all pretty much already knew. Only 2000 hours left, huh. That's apparently only about 83 days, or near enough 3 months. I wonder how the series will continue to handle the build up to that... |
| It is quite promising anime. Still I smell less romantic and funny version of Angel Beats. |

| Good characterization episode. Good to see it won't be just episodical with the same structure every episode. |
 |
| I never thought I'd say this, but we need more crying in this show. At least I can pay attention to bad drama, even when it's done with characters I find kinda lame like Plastic Memories' cast. Not only was the comedy bad, but it felt like it was padding the episode just so that it could end on that reveal. |

| I am just so proud of Doga Kobo, they have come so far... Love you guys. Lovely OP, it gives off a bittersweet feel tho... I am having a bad feeling now. Isla's clumsiness is so loool. Th lolicon joke, saw it coming. Oh I like Eru, she's cheeky and cute. Michiru with glasses <3 So Isla's progress is declining. That's a bad sign for sure. She's going to live for 2000 hours = 83.3 days only? This is not going to end good. The retrieval scenes are sad enough as it is... |

| huh, i'm glad this isn't a tragedy of the week kinda thing. |

Vexper said: huh, i'm glad this isn't a tragedy of the week kinda thing. Agree. The cryporn can get old quick. The whole 'end date' scenario really reminds me of Mahoromatic back in the day. |

| The OP fits really well for this series imo and I liked it a lot tbh....Visuals were great too and I'm guessing that the song at the end was the ED which I also liked and fitted well We got introduced to this veteran guy and I like his personality quite a lot actually....He's a pretty cool dude....Tsukasa's interactions with Michiru and Kazuki were pretty fun, especially the scene in the bar xD Comedy moments were done pretty well....We didn't have any problems with tone shifts this time around so that's a plus as well. The serious bits of this episode is what hit me really hard and I really love how this series can handle those moments so well liked seeing Isla's determination to get herself into better shape, likewise with Tsukasa trying to help Isla by putting some of her burden on him....Their dynamic together is slowly turning into some beautiful and it made me smile to see how much they care about each other...But I love seeing Isla acting like a Klutz so I don't mind that aspect of her character staying the same xD It's always a sad thing to see a Giftia say goodbye to it's owner/family so that final scene kinda made me sad but what REALLY made me sad was finding out that Isla is slowly becoming more useless and that she's going to be dead in less than 3 months TwT Sighhhh, this anime is being foreshadowed to have a sad ending and I don't think I can take it if that happens Overall, another great episode and I can't wait to see more (I liked the blonde engineer chick too....She's hot =P) |
| Decent episode, though the thing about Isla's lifespan was so obvious from the first episode. I smell a bittersweet ending. That's not necessarily bad, but I fear that it might go full on cliché. |
Both the OP and ED are great. They better tell mc about Isla or it's gonna suck for him later. |

| Isla is such a klutz it's cute and hilarious! I'll be looking forward to her clumsiness from now on. :3 That aside, pretty decent episode. The OP is nice and the ED song isn't bad either. But I still think the "feels" department still needs some work. It's apparent that they're already indicating a tragic ending but it's not being handled well. The limited lifespan just feels like a forced scope to induce more "feels." I guess as long as they can pull if off competently, it'll be fine? Also, looks like Michiru is becoming more "dere" than "tsun" now and might already harbored some feeling for Tsukasa. There might be a love conflict sometime soon. Seriously, what do girls in anime see in bland guys? >.< |
 |
| It was nice to see the exploration of their workplace and meeting the one knew person here. Seeing how a veteran most likely had to say goodbye to their partner or at least see the others saying goodbye and losing a coworker. The air between the new spotters and the experienced ones are really different. It was cute seeing Isla trying her best and Tsukasa being there to support her like that. Learning more closely what the grade means. With Isla deteriorating :/ 2k hours... sigh, seeing how these people say their goodbyes are already quite sad. This was a great episode. |

| boring like the first episode one more episode and i'm done with this torture |
| I think plastic memories is a bit similar in one of the episodes of Chobits. I dunno maybe just me. |
 |
| Damn! The vibes the OP gives are so friggin depressing D: And the last info drop about Isla having less than 3 months to live just confirmed that :( I guess that's the reason she's starting to lose her functions, starting to decline bit by bit too. Really loved the scene with her and Tsukasa when she thanked him. She's so adorable. Loving Michiru quite a lot. She's totally tsundere but the lovable type, apologizing and getting pissed that Tsukasa wasn't making any excuses acting cool XD She's cute <3 |
 |
| Not as dramatic as the first episode, but still good. This time it was about characterization, and the comedy moments were preety good. It´s still sad to see a Giftia saying good bye though :( Only 2000 hours left for Isla... I don´t know if I can take it when it comes to this moment. She´s so cute... TwT Also, the OP is awesome! And the ED too. |
| Holy Madoka! The Yuri is strong here! My Anime List  |
| Definitely not as impactful as the first episode but I guess some worldbuilding is required Isla is so adorable still... and with only 2000 hours left to go (~3 months) I guess that'll be about the end of the anime for some #feels conclusion |
  |
| Loved the first episode, but this kind of let me down. I didn't find it too humorous, and it didn't advance the plot too much in it's run time. I felt not a lot really happened. That being said, I'm still kinda hooked on the show so I'm not even close to dropping it. |

|
| 83 Days and counting... |
| that scene where isla was practicing tying all those knots was a touching moment. i really hope this show doesn't let me down >_< |
| hihi~ 안녕하세요~ こんにちは～ |
| This show just feels soooo CLEANNNN like a breath of fresh air. Definetly one of the good ones this season, they even got the characters right |
| Shirayuki= Most Perfect Female MC ever |
| What do you mean Isla has 2000 hours?! |
| Hi there |
| Great episode this week to. |
 Forum set made by my secret santa, Nate! |
| It's pretty obvious where this is going kyle8998 said: They mean she has 2000 hours left before her her life span runs out which is roughly 83 days.What do you mean Isla has 2000 hours?! This means she will end up like the androids they are collecting in less then three months. Well i wonder what will happen in that time and after that time, so far this anime has been pretty interesting. |

| ---------My Profile------------ |
| Michiru is such a cliched tsundere, the red hair makes it even more blatant |
 |
| OP was pretty but nothing really special. Soundtrack sounds pleasant and fits the mood well, and I like the acoustic guitar. Overall an okay/decent episode in which it reveals some things about Isla. For some reason I don't really feel moved so far as if I should be. |
 |
| This system is very flawed, yes androids lose their memory after 9 years, but if the client does not want to give it up, wouldn't it be better if the company just followed what the client wants? Then get the client themselves to return the broken android? If the client then wishes to send their android away before the 9 years, then Terminal Service can go pick them up with little or no trouble. |
 |
| So she only has 83 days left to live. It is going to pretty sad when that time comes. |
 |
| WHAT A TWIST. Who could have guessed that Isla is about to "die"? I don't feel anything, dropped. |
 |
| Really good episode. I like this slice of life direction it is going. It dives into the normal operations of the company and interactions with co workers. It is doing a fantastic job at world building. I don't think it's right to dismiss it as simple cryporn >_>. |
| So Isla expires in 2000 hours, saw that coming from a mile away. |
| I'm gonna say though that the comedy is not really for me, didn't have too much laughs, i hope, they fix this. The ''in your face'' humour of Shokugeki No Souma for example beats this comedy by miles. |
