----------------------------------------


Alright so Kaito discovers a tape recorder of sorts after being guided by Airi. Lol, that pw he entered is so random tbh. Overall, this was a nice episode although the pacing seems to be a bit slow but I did enjoy the brief robot fight.

I did think Airi was pretty cute this episode though by the way she's talking to Kaito from that device. She's such a cute girl :P

Oh, Frau is pretty funny as well. Those faces and expressions. I also feel a bit worried for Akiho.

The dark skinned girl joined. lol @ creepy girl also joined (and through computer screen, with condition to complete robot).

So Hosoya-san's character refused to join the robot club because of his father's demand of going after his father's work. Not only that, his father came and broke it!

EVERY other phrase Furugoori Kona says is a commonly used phrase on the internet...
The fact that she talks so much in this episode makes it somewhat confusing. >_>

Subaru's father is a dick. Humiliating him like that in front of everyone because he like robots and doesn't want to be a fisherman. Kids shouldn't have to be forced into a career they don't want to be in.

This episode had so many funny Subaru moments. I lol'ed at Junna's wild imagination Subaru posing naked in front of lots of cameras and him being hunted by a naked Kaito. There was also that scene in the beginning with him trying to speak with Frau only to be shot down.

And Airi is cute when Kaito touched her forehead.

lol frau and her naked-glasses photoshoot plan for hidaka, even funnier with junna's imaginations

it might be me, but i really wanna see hidaka x frau xDDD
i could just imagine him "I AM MISTER PLEIADES!" with frau spitting senseless jargon along with him

but damn, hidaka's dad is such an ASSHOLE!!! i wouldnt be surprised to see hidaka beat to shit the next episode.
and then aki feeling the elephant-mouse syndrome acting again...

things are really starting to get exciting now, cant wait to see what happens next week

God it's hard to understand Kona lol.

The scene at the end of this episode was something but the mystery with the AI and all I find hard to understand and it also feels somewhat detached from everything else. I reckon it'll improve with time though.

Good episode all around.

So far this show seems "meh" to me. There's points where I can start to see where the show is going with the serious drama aspect starting to build around the MC and his investigating the museum. But it constantly steps backwards into the silly school club and it's silly antics and problems.

It's hard to put it into words. I'm just not feeling it. I want to like it more. I'm hoping the drama part of the story takes off real soon. cause the silly club stuff is dragging it down.

Frau was a little awkward in this one... Naked with only glasses photo shoot? LOL. Jun makes a good addition to the Robotics club. She even got the sponsorship and we can see Ganvarrel come alive in real life (not literally)!
Well, it seems like Subaru is in a tight relationship with his father. My theory is that his mother used to be a robot lover. Since she's dead or left the family(note- have you ever seen his mother in the episodes so far?), his father forbade Subaru to interact with anything robot related ever again. It's most likely because he does not want to be reminded of the past.
Akiho's elephant-mouse syndrome has those kind of spasms too? I don't know what it is exactly so I hope they'll reveal what happens later on.

The first minute is so funny:

Yama -> Kawa -> Wakuteka (wktk) -> Kamoshika

Frau's sense of humor is so wrapped X-D
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Solid ep. Great character development with Subaru and Airi, and that confrontation really felt raw and intense. Frau looks so much better without those pigtails, and her interactions with the club members are becoming by far the most interesting to watch, save for maybe Akiho and Kai. Still a bit iffy on Daitoku, I need her to develop an actual role in this team ASAP. I don't feel like Akiiho's collapse at the end is just an ordinary spasm, the other one was definitely not so strong.

Edit: I should add, Kai trolling Akiho's Tanegashi Accel Impact made me laugh out loud.
More importantly, the music for this show is powerful stuff. I remember when I was watching that first episode, I wasn't excited for this show at all until that final scene with its awesome inspiring string piece. Since then the soundtrack has been consistently right on the mark, and this episode is no different.

Fisherman?! seriously? The fishing industry is dying globally at an accelerated rate for decades. His son could become top robotic engineer in Japan and make more money than him in a 50 life time.
That father is a completely selfish moron who just want the satisfactions of his son succeeding him.

Anyone, I find this episode developing the in two separate direction. Slice of life / SG style conspiracy. I hope the two tie in together soon or I will start feeling like I am watching two anime wrap into one.

nice find i knew something was up when i heard that but all i could think of was *MAKE IT STOP!*

Furau still insanely weird and awesome at the same time

kinda funny how Kai kinda just gave up on trying to figure this thing out but i'm sure something will happen in which he will continue (somethings are better left unknown)

Am I the only one that noticed the high amount of QUALITY in this episode? The amount of derpfaces was painful, the art and animation quality seriously took a dive in this episode.

I guess the rest was pretty good. But the part where the dad yelled "YOU MUST BE A FISHERMAN" felt kind of random.
Also, Jun hates robots and she can't stand them, yet Aki told her to pick it up? Weird.

Some great development in this episode. I'm very interested in that Kou person and what Akiho's sister and that woman from the store has to do with all this. That woman from the store didn't even want to talk about Airi.

Jun is cute as hell. I want to know her background story. Why can't she follow her dream anymore X.X

No, it's more like there isn't really anything to mention about.
It was "Let me pass" in Chaos;Head.
In this episode it's actually a different creepy-popular song - "Kagome, Kagome".
So no reference here.
The tone was the same, though.

Amazing episode, the pace is kind of slow but the story is really interesting and the comedy is great, especially Frau's Internet talk is amazing.
Subaru's father is a douche who thinks he's the boss because he is his father.
I suspect Daitoku has some sort of trauma where robots were involved, it's pretty obvious with all these hints.
Akiho had one of her attacks (or something else), what a cliffhanger.
I can't wait another week, but I'll have to.

Started as a fun episode and went really interesting towards the end where it ended in a very strong scene. This was a great episode, so sad that we have to wait another week...

"Quit Robot and become a Fisherman." Like wdf? Like many other people has said in the thread, I also hate parents like that, but I think there is a reason for Subaru's father is being strict like that.

Actually, from what I know it's super-turbo-fast paced compared to VN.
I didn't read it, But looked through Youtube's walkthrough.
There are more than 10 hours of reading in this six episodes.
This is disturbing.

So in this episode we got the last 2 members to join the Robotics Club. Daitoku and Frau. They both have their own little quirks which I like and should make for an interesting dichotomy in the club.

Some of the points from the past couple of episodes got resolved such as getting sponsored so they can finally progress on the big robot and the ghost girl. Now as for the end when Subaru's father came, I was surprised that was why he got so mad. We don't know the whole story yet but it's hooked me initially. Overall I really liked this episode moreso than last which kinda bored me to be honest.

So this is the reason because Subaru hides his iddentity as "Mr. Pleiades". A great final scene, I was almost in tears... poor Subaru, and poor Aki too... those spams...

LOL. I love the condition the "crazy" girl set for helping them out. :P

I wouldn't say he's a perfectionist. More like an intimidating, abusive, and "force my lifestyle down my kid's throat" parent. Those are the worst parents.
