Oh wow, Akiho is so persistent! Not a bad episode I guess although not too much happened. Kaito's robot does get beat down a little by Suburu's robot. Ouch.

Also, that ending...hmm, I wonder what that disturbance is.

Yeah stark now we saw what kind of happend to them in the past and those two seem to be the only one that were awake.

Kaito saw in slow motion and Akiho saw in forward mode.

Yeah the ending is kind of simliar of Steins Gate

Childhood friend, no wonder the pair is in good terms even though the girl is too optimistic. So her family and relatively known friends are related to robots that she's hugely interested in making it.

That twin tail girl... too dark and the smile is too creepy (cannot believe that she has the same voice and Eureka).

Wow, Hosoya-san's character requesting Kimura-san's character for combi., passionately (in his own way)!! And he knows that there's something wrong with that last move against him. There's a trauma / disease after what happened when he was young?

Ah, so Aki and Kai are victims of massive fainting that occured exactly 4 months after H2 rocket launching during their trip.Well, ok, but why they are only 2 persons who are suffering from this? what the hell is exactly Elephant-Mouse Syndrome? something seems fishy.What about this red aurora?.Damn, im really desperate for answers, and then this thing on the end of episode ;_:
Well, anyway.FRAU lmao.Thx, TY, Facedesk, 1TB of BL, Moe, thnx.I just knew she will be interesting character xD.Her seiyuu seems alittle bit weird, but i will get used to it :D.

5/5.One of my favs in this season.

Hmm, so Aki and Kai both got syndrome there.

Aki can see more fast, while Kai the opposite. Either way, it looks like the plot begins to move here.

Quite a few things happened even though there wasn't the action that last week's episode had.

There's that weird blonde girl that moved into school. Who knew that a girl who spoke gibberish could be so perverted? lol I laughed at Akiho holding herself back during the meeting with those really perverted company heads. If I was her I would yelled at them and walked out for implying that she was flat-chested. I rather keep my dignity than be sexually harassed by those A-holes.

So as it turns out, Akiho and Kaito are long-time childhood friends who experienced the same phenomenon together and are still affected by it. No wonder why they are so close.

How am I supposed to wait for a whole week for episode 5? ._.

This keeps getting better and better each week, I've got a lot of hope on this show.

Also, this part...
Agh! I have to wait until next week to find out what happened in the end.

Akiho looks cute when she's mad.lol

The Elephant-Mouse Syndrome was explained in the second episode. It's not an actual disease (I looked it up), but basically what Akiho has is the version of the Elephant-Mouse Syndrome in which five minutes of time pass withing a minute or something. Kai's version is the opposite; time slows down for him instead. So I'd expect it like one minute of time in five minutes or something.

Yes yes i know,but i just think that's not all.There must be something more to it, thats why i used word ''exactly'' ^^ just slowdowning and accelerating time would be pointless.Something is definitely behind it.

Yeah basically Kai's condition makes his brain process speed at a higher level than other people which makes time seem to slow down. While for Akiho, her brain processes will slow down making everything seem fast.

Was just getting boring again, but I think the progression that happened in the later half of this episode is still managing to propel the story.

I feel like the story is becoming more developed now, but honestly, I still have little clue as to the direction yet.

So hyper, optimistic Akiho has the speed up version of the syndrome and lazy, pessimistic Kai has the slow down version of the syndrome. Makes perfect sense as it fits their personality to me.

God dam Kai, stop with the Kill Ballad as your response to everything. <--- This has no hope of ever happening does it? T_T

Actually, no. I think the pacing is PERFECT so far with an anime like this.

I'm going to be honest, I really didn't know what to expect from Robotics;Notes. When I first heard the premise, I thought...meh, it probably won't be that good. However, I said the exact same thing when I heard about Steins;Gate...and that ended up being one of the best animes I've ever seen. So far, R;B has really exceeded my expectations. Considering the simplicity of the plot, it pulls off the mystery element nicely and much like S;G, a very unique and interesting set of characters. Frau's character seriously made me laugh my ass off. When I heard her say "Time to fap", I lost it. Much like everyone on here, I seriously did a double take and said, "did she seriously just say that?" Her whole lingo was downright hilarious.

The ending was interesting. It sure added for a very interesting, and somewhat creepy, element to this anime. Is he seeing a cybernetic ghost? lol Idk, but I am sure interested in what episode 5 is going to bring.

Slooooooow pacing, much slower than in Steins;Gate, almost nothing happens again. This ep was not bad but not good either.

Kvakond said:

Nothing interesting. In September of this world line Okabe was still in hospital and Cosplay event was held (S;G). There are almost no references to this world line (DR 1.048596%) in C;H but common agreement is it is placed 2 years before S;G.

Other than that, Sept 22 2010 there was Super Harverst Moon on Northern hemisphere that day which could be reason we see that strange polaris we are seeing in this anime (and we know that Science Adventures series always borrows some events from real life):

Edit: I watched subs again and apparentely correct date is September11th. I haven't find anything related for that day.

Also, anyone curious about H2A rocket lauch on May 21st 2010 can read this:

As was already mentioned dozens of times, this show is soo slow... I wish Kai at least paid more attention to Akiho during all this time. And BTW so far Akiho remains the only reason why I even watch this show...

Really liked Akiho raging at the two lugs, really cute character. I'm of two minds about the end reveal; First, it bodes well that the people behind this anime know how to present a disturbing mystery. The problem is that a little girl is involved, which tends to end in sappiness and melodrama. Need more info.

Frau is less confident than I thought she'd be given her smirk last ep and her genius programming. Kinda disappointed, but at least she's funny.

- Whose eyes are those eyes?
- Akiho's purse charm.
- Kai visually distorting reality. (If that really was what happened.)
- Something causing massive unconsciousness aboard a boat.

There are Chaos;Head allusions all over this show. As a standalone, I'm finding it pretty enjoyable, but if it weren't for all this hinting I probably wouldn't be looking forward to it week to week as much as I am. I can't tell whether I like this new Frau character though. She made me laugh so I guess that's something.

Arr. Frau. I am kinda disappointed in her character right now. But I still have my hopes to see her real personality as she opens up.

Also, Airi is finally here. I wonder if she is virtual or an android. Can't wait to see the mystery.
