Looks like Kai just cleared the Frau route. xD

Still hoping for an Aki x Kai ending. *fingers crossed*

I think Kai will still choose Aki, because, you know, they are osananajimis.

I just posted in the Haganai thread and said the childhood friend never wins. Now my dreams are shattered unless a make a contradiction.

Okay... Aki x Kai are not just childhood friends, they are... uhm, whatever, Aki is one of the miracles of the universe, she deserves to win.

Loved the episode. I like the notion that Hidaka carries his Mister Pleaides outfit on him at all times and can put it on at a moment's notice, that was a nice laugh in between a pretty serious episode.

I liked the background into Frau given in the episode, it had a lot of sincerity to it.

I'm curious where they go from here, there's surely a much bigger conflict waiting for them in the next 8 episodes. Still some pieces to tie together. Looking forward to it.

Nice episode! Especially liked that tension towards the end with Kai trying to activate his slow-mo.

Hopefully, they'll manage to keep this kind of standard up.

That was awesome, one of the best things it could do to improve it. Robots rampaging, Frau being blamed for robot attacks, depression, Kai using slow-mo against the cheating robot program and to top it off

I had been hoping for Kai X Kona, but didn't actually expect it to happen. Felt kinda sudden, but I'm happy.

I don't know why the robots were such a threat though. The swat team just sat there as if there was nothing they could have done to stop service robots.
Slaine did nothing wrong.

Awesome episode! I get a feeling though that this is just a little taste of the chaos that's to come in the final episodes. Hopefully there will be more episodes like this one in the future. And last but not least, KAI x FRAU FTMFW! XD

Absolutely loved this episode, best one so far imo!! <3:) Kai playing Kill-Ballad against that hacker was so intense having gone through his slow-motion state. I seriously love how they actually show the gameplay for Kill-Ballad. I lol'd @ Subaru dancing around as Mr. Pleiades outside. I didn't think it'd happen but I'm all for Kai X Frau now! Also DAT KISS! :D

FRau was just too awesome in this ep to be contained in a 9/10 ranking. Thus, I raised my R;N ranking to 10/10 now (although the final ranking will take place when it finished airing)

Using Kill-ballad as a lock was seriously contrived, but it made for a hell of an episode. I'm amazed they got me to like that girl so much. Couldn't stand her when she first showed up, but she might be my favourite character by now. It's a shame it's probably Aki route from here.

I really hope they make Gunvarrel an actual anime. It seems really epic, like Tenga Toppa GIGA DRILL BREAKER! Epic. I really wouldn't mind it as a little 5-15 minute recap episode version.


Doesn't the first intro just remind you of Gurren Lagann? Especially with the first few moments and everything going on XD


I think I've seen a Robotic;Notes X Gurren Lagann OP swap somewhere...

EDIT:
yup, here it is: http://vimeo.com/52069708

Holy shit, that fit just about perfectly!
I tried playing the second R;N intro with that Gurren Lagann OP, and it kinda fits, but not really. The beginning part fits well, the middle part, not so much, and then the ending REALLY syncs well.
Nice find~

I hope it's Kai and Kona. Kona is so unique. I love her!

As much as I like Aki, I like her better when she gets jealous.

The episode was great and a bundle of emotions and suspense. I loved Kai's determination. Probably the best episode yet.

I am shipping Kai x Frau. I've been hinting between this two since they started hanging out. I think they look much better because they have a lot of things in common. They have the same level of chemistry and likeness just like Okarin and Kirisu in Steins;Gate. Both of them are not hesitant to share secrets and do things together. I like Aki and her enthusiasm but she is much better off with someone like Subaru who shares the same passion with her in Robots. If there is one thing that I've learned from Anime is that the chances of best friend's being together is really slim, more like, rare. Kai x Frau makes more sense.

It’s really funny, back a couple of months ago I wished for Kona x Yashio. Guess what in the following,

OH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! KONA x YASHIO! KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! MY WISH CAME TRUE! IT CAME TRUE! AHAAAHAHAH! AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHA! Ahem! Yeah it came true and I was so exciting I woke up the whole place up! YUP! I pay for it so I don’t care! It was the best in the series. This episode was the best in the series! Kona x Yashio are the best couple. I am damn fan boying and am damn happy!

The episode also had the best SETUP! BEST BGM INTEGRATION! BEST DRAMA in general since Steins Gate that I have seen. Screams would never even be enough nor words for how amazing this episode was. The whole series now is OVER9000! Hands up and my wish came true? HAAAAAAAAAAA! It’s incredible! See! See! Wishes come true!

About the beginning, just seeing Rosetta being so MOE and the pilot of Gunvarrel with the BGM got me fired up so much. It was quite breathtaking along with seeing Kona’s mother still young and well. Her words touched me like Wing Gundam did emotionally.

About Kona’s depression, so well done! So nicely shown that I cried so much for her sadness. It was impactful and full of emotions. DAMN YOU EVIL for making her suffer!

About Project Mars, that is shocking. It’s something that is about to come yet fears are still around it for what one man may find in there. But yeah very shocking plan and it’s only a prelude to what is bound to happen. Guess the notions of:
2015 Last video of Gunvarrel
2010 Kou dies
Are quite plausible in that Kou knew of the plans ahead of time by most likely hacking into CERN much like in Steins Gate and her learned of the projected plans to be. The reports are what the witnessing of Kou was IMO.

About Kona’s torture plan, I still find it quite cruel of how Yashio had to go about his suffering to allow himself to be tired enough to use slow motion. However Kona’s facials were quite rich and nice there.

About everyone helping Kona, when I saw the gang helping her and driving away the police with Mister Pleiades’s, man that was tearing. So happy for Kona. One amazing drama there of realization. The BGM all were perfect there.

About Kona’s past, very emotionally charged as she explained of her side of the story and what happened to her in the recent past. The BGM once again was perfect and got me teary again.

About Maguyan, what a loser. He was brainwashed and could not do shit against it. Sadly and for the best he is dead with his anime lover from a pillow. Too bad for him, shows when you are sheep you can be used easily.

About Kona’s love towards Yashio, it was best and nothing more that was needed. All was perfect from the short rubbing of breasts to teasing to the BGM and finally to that kiss! THE KISS! YEAAAAAAAAAH! So amazing.

About the winning, when the machines stopped. Oh dear that was the most amazing perfect I have seen. THAT TIMING! THAT BGM! THAT SLOW MOTION! Oh amazing all of it! It was like “WHY CAN’T ALL ANIME BE LIKE THIS! WHY CAN’T ALL EPISODE BE THIS WELL?” Oh the screams of perfection of unfairness towards other series not being this perfect was astounding of how much of a impact it did on me!

About the end, Kona’s back in school! YES! She is hugging and in love with Yashio in front of his childhood friend! DAMN! You lost Akiho big time there! Damn! I do feel bad for her in that sense but she lost and Kona was first kiss wise and love proclamation.

Now what is next since that plan failed? Can’t wait to find out!

Same here. I thought Frau was annoying at first but after these past few episodes, I've changed my mind.

Also, I smell a love triangle incoming!

I agree. I really enjoyed this episode, The last few episodes have been brilliant, after a rather slow start.

Personally, I feel sorry for Kai. Based on her level of personal hygiene, I'd bet Frau hasn't brushed her teeth in ages, so her breath must reek like no other. Nevertheless, some nice scenes between the two of them.

On another note, it certainly took a while for the plot to take a somewhat more interesting turn. The robot club plot line still seems more like a sideshow, so I'll have to see how they develop this conspiracy plot line. Hopefully, they won't disappoint.
