| Came into my mind that it would be isla, but really I don't think so now. I think it'd be cruel to give isla as his new partner because he loved her. And no one would smile like that if it was her. |

-YunoGasai said: I think his new partner is a kid. Cause of the shoes. Also Tsukasa had to lean down a bit to shake his/her hand. Even though it's probably not possible, I like to think it's a child that looks like a younger Isla. True, definitely either a girl or a child but definitely not a man. If you look at the sleeves, only girls working at the Terminal wore a solid color, a thin black stripe, and then white the rest of the way to the shoulder. I swear, there had better be a second season, this anime is one of the very few that have made me sob. 😢😭 EDIT: Actually I am incorrect, the guys also wore a solid color followed by a thin colored stripe. So I am now 100% agreeing with the guy above. Either a short girl or a child. |

KeitaIssei said: Honestly, I think Michiru is pretty good for . After this first Isla's gone, Michiru could be the person to fill the void for Tsukasa's heart The new partner scene really fitted the title of the episode. If "Isla" isn't there, there would be absolutely no chance for Isla to ever be reunited with the ones she loves. Isla will be missed, but not forgotten. "I hope that one day you will be reunited with the one you cherish." Hoping for second season or ova Spare us of your delusion, there was no romance between Michiru and Tsukasa. |

| In my opinion is a "new Isla" the same gifta but with the memories erased and he will try to create news memories... is like "40th first dates" movies. Maybe a second season could be next year (or a film to conclude it properly, I mean, the main character being happy) |

Those were totally girl clothes. Plus the angle the hand took for the handshake was slightly inclined, suggesting someone of shorter stature. |
Defeatthefall said: I honestly think that it is a recycled isla, and coming to terms with islas' retrieval the memories he shared will never go away, but this new Giftia isn't isla and will never be isla, this one may not have any of the same mannerisms or tendencies, she may not be clumsy, she may not trip all the time, all the things he said he loved about her during the Ferris wheel, that's who he loved, this is probably nothing like her, except for appearance. And like Eru said to him at the carnival was that she didn't want to bring andie again because of the memories she had with Olivia.So I do believe that he will always love her, but he'll cherish her memory the most and not try to ruin what he had with her by trampling on it with trying to turn this giftia into someone she's not. And the way that she smiled about him and michiru laughing together at the party let her be a little more at ease knowing that he wouldn't be alone and that they could potentially have something. Phew that was a lot but that is what I believe I think it is the most plausible theory. I have the same thought with you, it's gotta be Isla with new personality. Since someone said in the first couple episode that Terminal Service usually recycle their Giftias to cut cost down low. I think they replace Isla with the new OS just like they did to Andie, but that means Tsukasa just need to create new memories with her. |

| Let's be real, if you doubt the fact that his new partner is Isla you're kidding yourself. |
helppls said: This whole anime's main theme is about moving on. Like, it's screaming move on since ep. 1. If you did not get it I really am sorry for you and at the same time I am wondering if when you guys watch an anime do you use your brains or only watch becouse it is a tear jerker or sth like that. I agree. A person's opinion about the ending reveals their maturity and how much they've developed so far in life. The anime preaches an overarching theme of accepting things that cause you pain and moving on from them, cherishing the good experiences you had, and remembering what you learned. If someone accepted this theme and understood the importance of it, they would likely believe the new partner is not Isla's body. If someone is less mature or perhaps just very idealistic, they may root for some cosmic reunion between the two. Unfortunately, many anime make poor choices and choose to shoot down their own themes. For example, a plot may revolve around accepting loss or acknowledging that things aren't permanent, only to have the climax completely undo any progression that has been made by, say, magically reviving a dead character, reigniting a lost love that both characters had accepted was over, etc. So many people may be fooled into thinking the same thing is possible here and that the new partner is Isla's body. However, I think the writers made it pretty clear that this was not their intent with the theme. They even proposed a potential "solution" in the form of getting memories to resurface in a repurposed body by taking the Giftia to a place they were familiar with in their former iteration, only to prove that it cannot happen in the form of Andie/Olivia. The entire purpose of this was to solidify Tsukasa's acceptance of the fact that he will one day need to let go of his relationship with Isla, as well as clearly communicate this message to the viewer. Given that, there is absolutely no reason to believe the new partner is Isla's body. (Plus, if you want to get technical about it, the new partner clearly looks like a boy, and his skin is far paler than Tsukasa's, whereas there was never such a stark contrast between the skin tones of Tsukasa and Isla.) |

| It's obviously Isla with different footwear. The main flaw of this anime is largely apparent, and the Isla character already knew about that flaw. It was never brought up what would be done with Isla (new OS or not), and that was done intentionally. It was already shown that the company keeps Giftias and puts new OS's in them to cut costs. There's absolutely no reason they wouldn't do that with Isla. Keep in mind Isla was keeping a diary the whole time... again, what was the main flaw of this anime? That there is no reason why you wouldn't just go with the new OS and show the new personality everything their old personality did. It's what you would do with someone with amnesia. People with amnesia often permanently lose all their memories before a certain point. Like someone else said, if you think the new partner isn't Isla, you are kidding yourself. You pessimistic types seriously need to rethink your logic. Also, that is clearly Isla's skintone. The hand is the right size. Tsukasa is darker than he normally is (it's been 9 months, he could have gotten a tan). |

| Unless they decided to destroy everything this anime is worth, the new partner is not Isla. It's not about being pessimistic or not. Even through it was said several times in show, it looks like many people are under misconception that Giftia just looses their memories. It's not true. They die. Their whole personalities, likes, dislikes, habits, preferences , everything that sets that we are we is changed. Memories are only part of that. Exchanging OS is like brain transplantation, not memory reset. Even if "new Isla" would get memories of old one, they will be memories of different person not her. It's now even previous reincarnation since opposite to that the "soul" is changed, and only body is the same. She would be "just" her look-a-like. Her simply getting back would be cruel both for co-workers, and for her, since they will look at her as Isla, and not the person she is. And some weird miracle would ruin whole story setting. |
| It is definitely Isla, and of course she is reformatted, so not actually Isla. But you mean to tell me that a company that developed a synthetic soul isn't capable of creating it without a 9 year and some odd month limitation? I'd say entirely unlikely. What is more likely, is that they placed the limitation themselves because it would be bad for business if they ran out of customers. As long as they(customers) can't keep them the way they are forever, they can keep selling. If I did a season 2 for Plastic Memories, I'd set it a but after the new Isla(henceforth referred to as Isla2 for now) showed up. Maybe a year? She's a lively girl. Like how she was with Kazuki. By now Tsukasa and Michiru are dating. However, Tsukasa isn't 100% over Isla, and Michiru can tell. Now, here is where the story can go one of two ways(one can be included on the end of the other), 1. Isla finds her journal and slowly regains her memories. Michiru notices, and out of her love for Tsukasa, pushes them together. 2. Michiru decideds to a little B & E for Tsukasa's sake, dragging him along into SAI hq to check out the mainframe. Probably going to have tech help from Eru. They find Isla's original memory, and a program that seems like it would remove the limit on her time(like I mentioned before). They make a somehow clean escape(Something is obviously going to happen with these two paired up), and inject both into Isla2's recharge station(we find out there is an operator's outlet like in cable boxes). They think it's a bust though, because we still have Isla2. However she stumbles across her journal, reads it, and slowly regains her memory. But now she's original Isla with all the memories she had, but also with her Isla2 energy. Michiru gracefully steps aside and lets them resume their love. I personally like option 2. |
| At first glance, their petite hand's enough to say that Tsukasa's new partner is Isla. But if you think about it, there's no point in showing that scene if it's not her. They could've wrapped it up just with him joining to work again. And the scene when she entered was also the same as was in the first episode. So it only makes sense that it's Isla with a new OS. |
| Rem is best girl |
| It's definitely Isla, for the people who say her body was weak, Kazuki said in one of the episodes that after they retrieve the androids they replace all the parts with new ones so it's totally possible for this body to be hers. |
| Why didn't someone tell me this was a sad anime? I definitely got a little misty eyed during this episode. As to whether his new partner is Ilsa or not, I don't know. I think it would have to have been, because why else would they show that scene after the credits? |
