| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah, nice to see Vivy look out for her fellow singers. She doesn't want Ophelia to harm herself as they're also in the same profession. Cute how she put that flower on her head. She's quite a talented singer imo, including with her performance this episode. |
 |
| holy crap that ending... ANTONIO!!!!!!!!! Also how does that guy know Vivy's name? Everyone should only know her as Diva by this timeline. |
 |
| 8 episodes in and I can't still get used to Matsumoto's fast-talking. The whole episode was based upon Vivy finding out why Ophelia wants to kill herself. Matsumoto and Vivy were doing a good job until someone actually hacked into the security cams and showed them fake footage of what's going on. Ophelia has a beautiful voice, she's recognized by Vivy as well. But, because she can't get satisfaction after her performances, she wanna kill herself which would lead to the world's first AI suicide. But that plot twist at the end was something else, wasn't expecting that at all. We'll have to see how Matsumoto and Vivy are going to handle this situation. |
 |
| You thought it was Ophelia, but it was I, Antonio! |
 |
| What a twist! Now to ponder on what caused Ophelia's death instead of Antonio, with the latter's motives most probably to carry on Ophelia's wish in her stead And does it have something to do with that dude |
| Even when everyone dislikes her its nice that Ophelia has someone that's always supportive of her in the form of Antonio. Still this served to make her suicide that much more tragic. If anything Antonio's shutdown was one of the catalyst's of Ophelia's mental state. Ophelia's performance sure was impressive. Its amusing seeing Vivy ask about her past self though. Matsumoto's horse form was pretty interesting. But the mission to stop Ophelia sure featured quite the twist Antonio's re-entry into the series. Overall an interesting ep that did well in expanding upon both Ophelia's past but also allow us to look at the kind of determination that she had inside her. The twist with Antonio though was pretty intriguing and can't wait to see what had caused him to reappear. Looks like next ep will be quite the complex one judging from the visuals. |

| That twist at the end had me screaming, damn so Ophelia's already dead and Antonia is the one in Ophelia's body. So I guess the reason he shut down was cause he transferred his data to Ophelia's body. How is Kakitani still alive and young? Did he become an AI? He was using high level hacking and interference, so he proly is. |
 |
| Damn that plot twist at the end.. so many questions about how antonio survived. He must’ve transferred his consciousness to Ophelia during his shut down. How the hell is Kakitani still alive too? Next episode will have a lot of questions to answer. Really hyped. |
 |
| Fucking hell that twist. Just made me more hype for next week's episode, and it cannot come quick enough! |
| Once on the offensive they have been pushed to defensive. |
| Oh, crap. That plot twist came out of nowhere. |

| I see I see, an very excellent episoe. Antonio transferred his 'mind' or well replaced it with Ophilia's mind. Kakitani is probably a robot (something might have happend to him in ep 6) Well let's see how this will play out for Diva and Matsumoto. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Matsumoto got hacked from this Man i dont who he is but fhat Antoni now is on Ophelia is crazy plot hole in the end |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| This anime still has not missed. There has been elements that I didn’t like in past episodes, but there hasn’t been an episode that I thought was mid or underwhelming. I’m looking forward to Diva relearning about her past and seeing the face-off between Matsumoto and Antonio. |
ImmortalZero said: holy crap that ending... ANTONIO!!!!!!!!! Also how does that guy know Vivy's name? Everyone should only know her as Diva by this timeline. Isn't he someone like kid of past guy? He probably told him about Vivy |
| Diva looks so beautiful and unparalleled, while Ophelia has to content with her sound support A.I. Antonio to shine brightly onstage. This stage is a cursed tragedy waiting to happen. Time does not stop for no man nor machine, and WHACK it is for what it is, since the news of Ophelia's suicide became the sole catalyst of the humans-A.I. war. and Diva wants to stop the problem at its root to alter the start of the 100-year history despite Matsumoto's whims. So the Toak guy Kakitani doesn't exist in this timeline? If he existed in Vivy's future timelines, there's gotta be a give to what he could be, but for now it's a mystery. Stating the obvious, Diva only existed for her original mission to sing, and Matsumoto is just filling in the blanks for his part of the story, so we're literally going "Back to the Future" with Ophelia's business. Turning a Dio situation to which Ophelia's suicide turned out to be Antonio behind this mess with the hacking of Ophelia, dang what a twist. Shocked with pure terror for this one. |
 |
| I trusted Antonio, I thought he meant no harm. It doesn't seem like that now though. |
 |
| I just wanna see Vivy walking 9S's path and the network's Tower Am I asking too much? |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| Me: "Oh, the supposedly cute Ophelia isn't all that, I've seen that twist many times" "Ophelia": "I'm Antonio" Me: Ok, that's a new one, Dio would approve |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Quite the damn plot twist in the end with the Jojo-level shit there from Antonio. Better episode than the previous week. |
| KONO ANTONIA DA! but holy hell.. this anime is not coming slow even in the middle.. i just hope we get Vivy back in next episode.. i like Giga chad Stacy Diva.. but Vivy just feels more close.. |
| fantastic episode, next week should be hype |
| Was a good episode to know how the closer they get to the 100 years goal, the battles are getting harder. And even Matsumoto hacking upper hand can get countered now. |

Everyone should only know her as Diva by this timeline. |
| Wow, Kogoro Mo...I mean Rikiya Koyama. Was that an early hint that it's more of a detective case? Hummm, talking about it...was Vivy the actual first AI who committed suicide? (But I guess she was infected by the virus so it doesn't count.) The concert reminded me the concerts in Macross F. The piano teacher from after the end credits - reminded me certain episodic character from The Big O. PS Wait, Antonio... Antony? Was Ophelia actually Cleo...like Cleopatra? PS PS Just realised that Matsumoto in his cube form reminds me of Gedächtnis from Fireball. |

 |
| dooooodddd. Antonio sus. I think that viva will be back soon. its gone be cool. ok but Antonio seriously sus |
| yea...i totally did not expect that ending there. figured its gonna be one of those Diva and/or Matsumoto is too late type of deals |

 |
| That was some Jojo-level plot twist. |
 |

| Not that cliffhanger damn. I wasn’t expecting it at all |
| This episode reminded me of Ace Attorney: Justice for All, in a good way. |

| Incredible episode I’m actually liking Diva much than vivy rn. She just funnier imo That ending though. When antonio introduced himself was funny as hell |

Phosphophyllita said: And then they will reveal Yoko Taro is working on this anime too xDI just wanna see Vivy walking 9S's path and the network's Tower Am I asking too much? But more seriously, it's obvious some major plot-twist is coming, and 9S-type twist would work for this series too. |
 |
| Damnnn..that twist at the end totally caught me off guard. I wonder what Antonio's goal is. It's either he was pissed at the original Ophelia for not living up to his expectations and killed her or she suicided already at one point and he took her body after that. Anyway, the timeline already seems screwed with this switcheroo now. Toak dude seems to want to bring out the "old" Vivy. I wonder how that will go as well. |
| It was a Trap all along! Get it? A trap. I'll see myself out. |
