THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Hmm, I kinda like the new style for the new OP song.

I think the series is done with Yuuji's flashbacks now and is focusing on the present with the girls discussing on their next move. And yeah, I think Yumiko has a different outlook on Yuuji now in a way. Hell, even Michiru is on board with this.

Decent buildup I guess. That ending was priceless though lolol. Also kinda interesting that Kazami still has influence in the present timeline despite being dead.

the OP clearly showed that Kazuki was the machine.

Nice to see Robbie is back, hope to see the others soon.

Glad they changed the OP for Rakuen. Robbie/Jim owning a maid soba shop was hilarious. The ending was hilarious. Also that post-credits scene. Yuuji gets another shock moment at seeing his sis as a hologram.

GODDAMMIT WHAT DID THEY DO TO KAZUKI!!

Looks like this episode was just buildup for the next one, really looking forward to it. Yuuji need to be saved, after everything he has been through this is just mean. Hope the girls will save him quickly.

The animation and the enjoyment went downhill with this one episode alone. I seriously hope next episode has less derp animation moments.

The show kinda turned lame now that the focus shifted to the main girls. That bl*wjob scene was unnecessary.

Well, this is a build up episode so I guess I should hold my judgment.

I hope it won't go downhill as I really enjoyed this show so far, until this episode came.

The change in OP animation was excellent. The episode was also pretty good, particularly when they found all that writing on the walls in Yuuji's closet.

Also, that end scene was a massive shock. I didn't really believe that Kazuki would actually be Thanatos, but it does make so much sense. But this does make me confused about whether Kazuki's body is actually alive or if it's just her brain that's alive courtesy of Thanatos.

Love the new OP visuals. And I'm glad the same song was retained.

You know, Steins;Gate used to be my favorite anime adaptation of a VN, but that's not the case anymore. 8-Bit has constantly been impressing me and If I had to single out my favorite anime of this season, I'd have to be this. Great episode, and a great adaptation of the start of Rakuen.

Still a decent episode, I knew more or less (well, not everything but some parts) what to expect from the upcoming episodes so I hope they would be able to adapt it as good as possible.

Well, I kinda expected that whole Thanatos System being connected to Kazuki, so no big surprise there.

What is more interesting is how did she turn that way. I mean, in the ending of first season it shows, that she walked away from bus accident just fine. But I was wondering why would she just abandon her brother, considering that she knew how he was treated by their family and what would occur if she was gone. Besides, huge bro-con just leaving her little brother alone? Yeah, right...

Anyway, long story short - question for VN readers: will it be explained why she didn't return for Yuuji (I guess she got into some trouble and got turned in computer before she could?) or/and how she made / was made into Thanatos System?
Spoilers please! (Just give a heads up if it's gonna be some major plot point, instead of just a thing to satisfy curiosity.

Such blatant fan-service.... they even spelled it out for the audience.
And so the girls sent out to find Yuuji..... hope they become badass on the way.

Kazuki was this computer!


I didn't quite expect it but the clues were there, meaning it was actually a good twist. This show is developing in ways through the movie and second season, i didn't expect this show to go this far in that direction. Was just expecting a particularly gritty galge-style plot but it's definitely grown away from that. It's being fresh in more ways than it showed me to begin with. I'm quite impressed.

Knowing anime she's either preserved in a pod, or her body is gone entirely. I highly doubt we'll see any grotesque defacing (fortunately).
It's a shame many people don't catch after credits developments because of the habit of closing or going to next ep when credits start...

Yuuji's princesses to the rescue.
The old pervert is back...and now Yuuji is going to be an object for exchange.
The government is both right and wrong at same time...well can't blame them I guess.
Looking forward to what Yuuji's princesses going to do.

A surprisingly decent adaptation by 8-bit. I expected a drop in quality once Rakuen starts but well, I'm glad I'm wrong.

My only insignificant complain was this:

I wished they kept this camera angle. It looks more badass.
