| The series just got a lot more interesting. Now that the kids know exactly what happens after they pilot the mech I wonder how they will react. In the spirit of some more in-depth discussion I have a few speculative thoughts on the show so far. I'll put spoiler tags for those that may not want to read it. I could possibly be completely wrong on the events so far but it's very interesting to think about and I'd like to hear what others thought. |

 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| This means Waku died in between his fall from Zearth,losing his life force,so maybe he could have survived the fall.Yeah,i'm suspecting those piloting the other robot because they tried not to step on the houses or buildings.Maybe their bunch of kids too... |
 |
| Yeah, this show got very interesting now that they've all found out what happens when you pilot the mech. It all makes sense now since the coroner said that Waku died before he entered in the water. And how the second robot was trying to avoid damaging the city was interesting indeed. I'm curious as to seeing how the rest of the show develops. |
| Yep thinks got a way more interesting in this episode.You said some pretty interesting things cangeman. The enemy mecha trying not to damage the city also made very curious. I have a feeling that the game's creator is one if not the main villain, and that there is indeed a more of a deep purpose in this "game". (what is it I still have no clue). I wondering if there is any way for them to avoid dying after a battle. 'Coz if there isn't then it means only the small girl will be left in the end. More developments on the next ep. I hope. |

| Psycho episode. Lots of interesting stuff. In case some other 'enemies' appear who are not that careful with the things they might destroy, I'm sure there will be one or two (or even more) who will sacrifice their lives for the city. But then again, why was this one being so careful? Lookin forward to the next ep. |

| I'm kind of slating towards the kids actually doing more harm than good. It's going to be interesting now to see the reactions of the chosen pilots now that they know that it's a death sentence. |

| What I'm really suprised about is that all of the people in this anime are staying so cool under it !! There's a huge robot in town killing thousands of people and nobody's panicing ? There's not a mass evacuation of the town ?? .... hmmmm.... Oi.... now they know they die indeed after piloting, what's gonna happen next !! D: |

'Coz if there isn't then it means only the small girl will be left in the end. couldn't they combile their life force to all pilot at once? that way they get as many battles as there are piolets and no-one dies until they go over the limit... then they all die at once bahaha Straw-Hat-Matt said: What I'm really suprised about is that all of the people in this anime are staying so cool under it !!

| Great episode, and just as I've been hoping for, there are consequences to controlling the robot. This just makes it all the more interesting and horrible; your thoughts process when you notice you're next must be sick. Off to continue it. It's awesome to just imagine who will be the last ones alive, seeing friend after friend die. I knew this kind of anime was somewhere, and I'm glad I gave Bokurano a try. Instantly hooked much? |
「Godspeed You! Black Emperor」 |
| When they found out that each of them will die after piloting, that part was really good. |
| I'm so glad the second to pilot the mecha was that conceited bespectacled prick. Now I don't have to watch him anymore and can fully enjoy this anime which is getting more and more interesting by the episode. I'm really curious to find out more about those 'enemies' the kids have been fighting. The Dung Beetle creep seems like he's hiding a lot. |
 |
| I don't get why do they even bother fighting? It seems those robots stay still before they decide to move there robot. So just don't do anything. Personally that's what i would do, especially now that they know they can die by piloting it. If am gonna die anyway i ain't doing shit for the motherfucker responsible for my death. Hell i might as well let the enemy robot win. |
| I'm...actually glad that he was 2nd, because he was really, really annoying me. xD But damn it, I did feel bad for him in the end. If I were ever in their situation, I would like to be one of the first to pilot, that way I wouldn't even have a clue that you die in the end, and would go out instantly without suspecting a thing. If I actually knew I would die, I would probably go crazy or something lol. And everyone finally learns the catch of the whole show...this show can only get better from here, I guess. |
| Bah, there are some characters that I really like. I don't want them to die as well :( |
| I'm thinking that the other robot had kids in it too since it was trying not to damage the buildings,I could be wrong |
 |
| It seems that they are actually the bad guys of the show. Perhaps the other robot did indeed have kids in it as well that were trying to avoid crushing others. I'd had already made the connection a few episodes ago that whoever piloting it would die though. |

renders said: I'm thinking that the other robot had kids in it too since it was trying not to damage the buildings,I could be wrong Lets hope you're wrong. Really 15 kids times 15 robots. Too many deaths. So much drama. |
 |
| Shit man this is getting really nice with how dramatic this was, just the moment the car appeared with his dad I knew something like that would happen but man they sure did it good! I really wonder who's actually controlling those other robots, also kids/humans? But shit son things sure are getting good and I was right about the pilot dieng as it wasn't obvious already but yea let's see what's next! |
 |
| I was hoping his father would die along with him and I'm glad to see they are both gone. The story keeps getting interesting. I'm wondering who or what is behind all this and whether the robots they are fighting are the real enemy. |
| Seem's like the plot will be interesting but what bothers me is that most people seem to be so emotionally detached in this series. And i don't just mean the kids. |
| Only the 4th episode and shit is already getting real. Loving the themes present so far! The way you see the other robot tip-toeing gently through the city and Zearth destroying it was great. I can totally see how Madoka Magica could've been influenced by this! Must continue |

| I'm not sure if I like this yet or if its just kinda some magically binding contract/deal with the devil show, but not working since I don't really care about the characters yet. I hope everyone gets enough screen time..or they pick a few to go in depth with. I wonder who's next...this would have been fun watching week to week guessing who would die. |
| Awesome episode, I love how this show explores all the different angles But another best character died. This sucks |
| I'm so glad Masaru and his dad died. What a bunch of pricks. |
| God, that Kodama kid and his dad were selfish douchebags. Was nice to see that the kid gained an ounce of empathy before dying at least. Interesting how the enemy mech wasn't doing any harm to the city. Starting to wonder if Zearth really is supposed to be the hero after all. Now that the kids know their fates, I wonder how this will affect them psychologically. I think it's safe to say that all the kids are going to die unless they can find their way out of the game. Solid episode. 7/10 |
| Two more and twelve to go, I wonder why Kana is still carried inside that robot, she didn't gave her name or put her hands in that red thing. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Being the chosen one and the sight of destruction at his hand, Kodama was enjoying this sensational power trip until he realized that his highly regarded daddy is also nothing more than a mere fragile human. Instead of creating more work for his dad he put him straight past retirement xD I saw him as mentally weak, misguided and he had a limited perspective for tying self worth entirely to status. It must be partly a result of him growing up as the child of the ruthless elite that he had so little regard for the average life + his father was too occupied with work that he healfheartedly approved the violent/sociopathic tendencies of his son(ok, he wasn't really better himself; the apple doesn't fall far from the tree) Kodama also misinterpreted his brother. Accepting the status quo is less of a sign of strength than challenging it in this case. To me Kodama was the loser and it's hard to feel bad for someone like him. Also wtf was wrong with the father. When he was sitting in his car, he almost seemed like he couldn't care less that there's a big fight in the city. Well, he won't benefit from it anymore xD As for new info. We learned that you can enter Zearth from your chair at home just by thought. Politicians were having a discussion concerning the current events. The question is where do these robots/monsters come from? America? Space? Are the gods bored and want to enjoy a show? They have to take action and thanks to Komoda(Komo) it's only a matter of time till they visit the children. "All of you will die. Ups, did I forget to tell you the most important part?" Koyemshi is such a troll. So indeed confirmation that all of them will die. Damn, that's a tough pill to swallow. I guess you could consider Waku fortunate since he didn't really suffer, he actually died feeling good about himself. And looks like we're up against other participants. There are most likely humans sitting on some chairs inside of that ball. Or in other words, everyone is sitting inside a ball as well. This would raise a few more questions. P.S. Opening is unskippable. Now it's too late to uninstall the game. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| There goes him. So it's powered by lifeforce then. I wonder how that will affect the mentality of the kids going forward. Will they be able to pilot the mech at all, now that they know it's a death sentence? Only a single line referenced it, but it's interesting that the enemy mech tried to avoid trampling over the buildings, ironically making it less destructive than the glasses kid who saw himself as the "chosen one". Perhaps these enemy robots aren't the real enemy after all. |
