| Another episode worthy of a chef's kiss. The anime original scenes really helped. The directing and subtleties continue to blow me away and I'm tempted to give this series a 10/10 right now considering I genuinely enjoy a tad bit more than the LN as of currently. The post credits scenes with Fido's montage was so well done, feels like those old wholesome to heartfelt family videos and stuff, ngl, and then that cliffhanger, just ooof. Plus, it's nice to see Shinei emotionally loosened up after the events from the previous episode. I'm glad that depth in his character was implemented so well. The studio and staff TRULY care about this series a lot. |

| Wow! What can I say, another wonderful episode. First half was really calm but still had this heavy emotions underneath. And the last bit showing Fido's memory, made me tear up and cry more than I would've expected. |
 |
| This episode was actually good, ok I like that. The outside world is interesting and Fido's experience was one of a kind, didn't look plastic, but that was a given due to 86's Girls' Last Tour moments. Interested to see where this goes and ends off with. |
| Noooo, not Fido.. That ending was the last thing I could have expected. I liked the post credit scene because it shows how things evolved in 86, and how many people went down because of the Republic. Just like Raiden said, it feels like Shin is just ready to die since there's nothing left for him to do, but he also knows they can't go too far or escape the Legion for too long. I wonder how much longer they'll last before they're caught or killed. I think the next episode will give us Lena's POV since it's the last episode. I hate that this is ending and that we'll have to wait a couple of more months before we get the next season, but damn the A-1 Pictures outdid themselves and I look forward to more of it in the next season. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| Once again the staff is doing an amazing job, not only are they adapting the LN content accurately with beautiful direction and detail but they're also adding original scenes that elevate the LN material. I loved the first half and seeing Shin smiling for once. They've all been through a lot, but they're free from the Republic. They're still in enemy territory of course, and the danger is always imminent but seeing them fishing, having a bath, joking with each other and sitting around the fire was heartwarming. Fido's death was incredibly sad man, he has witnessed their whole lives in the 86 territory, they have all confided in him and he's been there for them all this time. Shin had an especially strong bond with him. It was really sad to see him go honestly. Shin carved a piece of him to carry with him, continuing his sad duty as the Undertaker and taking them all to their final destination T_T The animation was also great, I admired the water detail, the scenery in general and the direction as well. Kudos to A-1! |
| Feels like urobochi wrote the story for this episode lol. |
Damn Fido was there when Shin and his brother lived in the first district |
| A more laid-back episode this week. A nice change of pace to sit back and watch the 86ers reminisce on their pasts, and the journey that lead to their present freedom. |
| Come on man, don't do this to me. This was being such a nice and relaxing episode until that emotional montage from Fido's POV that ended up being his life flashing before his eyes. So, what exactly was Fido? I didn't expect him to be part of Shin's life since he was a happy child and Annette's friend. At least that montage gave us some super adorable Kurena moments <3. She truly is best girl! By the way, I didn't expect to see Kurena getting naked in that flower field xD. |

| Darn, rip Fido, not even he was safe despite being a robot. If nobody told me this part was actually anime original I wouldn't even know because seeing this POV on the 86 side after last week's crazy farewell seemed to flow so naturally. |
| I didn't expect to get some of Fido's backstory. The directing and anime-orignal content really add to the story. |
| Now this episode was amazing. Directing was nicely done and that after credit scene was a great a addition. RIP Fido tho :( |
| Watashi wa a victim of cyberbullying. Everyday someone online calls me a "weeb" desu. Watashi won't stand for this. 26 percent of bullying victims are chosen due to their race or religion desu. I may look like a basic white boy, but deep down I am Nihongo desu. Watashi religion is anime. Anata wa bullying me because of my race and religion desu ka? Disgusting desu. Anata should be ashamed of yourself, racist pig. A baka gaijin like anata is probably jealous of my race and culture, cause Nippon is more sugoi than your shitty country desu. Watashi pity anata. You'll never be Nihongo like watashi. Educate yourself on nani a "weeb" is. |
| A different episode than the usual. Shin's crew was shown having their peace of mind for a couple of days. Little tasks like having fuel enough to take their bath seemed like nothing, compared to what they went through. But it was just a matter of time until the next Legion showed up. Vladilena wasn't here in any moment, but I hope we'll see more of her in the next episode. Maybe it will be a rescue one. Let's see! |
 |
| Turns out Fido was human once like those Legion drones. |
 |
| No FIDO IN THE CHARACTERS LIST???? Someone needs to pay for this! |
| You cannot spell Light without L |
| This was a hard watch for many reasons. Not in a bad sense, but more that it makes me honestly scared for the next episode, and what it's possibly setting for oof. |
| Wow, fantastic episode. I actually enjoy watching these slice-of-life/daily interactions among the squad members more than any of the action scenes. This episode really highlights how much the squad members have been through together. I wouldn't have minded if this entire first season (or a later one) was focused on Shin meeting the other 86 when he was young and his journey to joining the Spearhead squadron instead, but I guess that's too much to ask for lol. Or maybe we'll have more glimpses of his past in a future season, if it exists in the novel. But nooooo, Fido! I'm seriously in love with the directing of this show. The scenes from Fido's POV were mostly wholesome and funny, but the sad moments sprinkled in between got my mood in all sorts of places. Hope that one clip didn't just foreshadow Theo's death. Watching Anju cry is always sad. And interesting that there's a shot of young Shin with his brother and Annette. And it broke my heart with the last scene of Fido breaking down. Never thought I'd feel sad about a drone. The OST was perfect as well. This is definitely gearing up to be my AOTS, looking forward to how they're going to wrap the season up with the last episode next week. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Props to the anime team, I think this is all 100% anime original and it complement the story perfectly. The shots with the fossil in the zoo are great and the placement of the song are on point as always. Fido's part was also an amazing way to close the episode and show it's death. I really have to give it to A-1 for this adaptation. |
ngl I really hated that. not everything has to be connected. I liked the idea that Fido slowly gained sentience as he slowly watched all his human friends die off. But suggesting that Anette's father may have designed him and he somehow coincidentally got reunited with Shin just kind of ruins it for me. Coincidental storytelling is just the worst |
| one question, why everywhere else is deserted? like where did the people go? if this wasn't mentioned yet, don't spoil for me pls |

| Beautiful episode. I was satisfied with the episode even before we got the Fido part, and that made it so much better. Such a great us of flashbacks to accentuate the losses and showing Fido’s relationship to the squad, only to rip our hearts out with its death in a teaser for what might end up being most of their final battles. Great stuff. |
| fido, nooooooooooo :( the flashback was just cruel, i knew beforehand that something bad was about to happen, and i hate being right on those times... the episode was about to be at least a bit wholesome regarding everything that happened so far but, damn, leave at least the robodog out of this, come on! but yeah, this series is seriously growing on every episode, just awesome, one of my favorites this season, too bad is ending the first cour on the next episode |

| Nothing much to say. Basically an episode focused on the Spearhead group experiencing "freedom" after leaving San Magnolia's territories. Not gonna lie, it felt slightly boring and kinda shallow but guess it couldn't be helped since, based on other people's comments, it was 95% anime-original content. Sequence with Fido's recordings was a nice addition tho. |
| That last montage has me all kinds of fucked up. I didn't know how these last two episodes were gonna go but that was fantastic |
| Nooooooooooo not my telephone service provider! Tbh kind of had a feeling Fido was going to get destroyed but still very sad. |
 |
| Squad finally able to catch some breather and get small taste of freedom but knew they were never safe. Endured this far only for their hopeless future. Cliffhangers, I'm ready. |
| S2 here we go!..oh there's 1 more ep left...how lame am i... |
 |
| Holy sheet htf I missed that scene?! At what duration was that? |
