It's only my point of view but I found Aki's Declaration ridiculous

Come on you have in front of view the guy who rotted you sister's life and the first thing you ask is
-> does she still love robots ??


Yeah that part felt kind of off. I wonder if it happened the same way in the VN? It kind of seemed random to me, and Aki didn't even have her iru-o thing, so I have no idea what the heck she was looking at the whole time...the space next to Airi I guess =_= I don't hate Aki, but wow, that speech was just too out of place. I wish they could have written the script better. Not even the inspirational bgm could save that speech.

I like how we learn that Misaki is not really a terrible person as we all thought she was. She even tried committing suicide! I guess she really cares for Kai and Aki :/ if it was going to come to this, she should have just confessed her crime in the first place (yes I know it's difficult confessing you murdered someone...) I still feel sympathy for all the suffering she went through

What the actual fuck happened?

Why? How did this happen? This episode is so ridiculously bad. The past episodes were great. Wtf?

I thought they were fighting the Committee 300? Why is that their only focus is defeating Kimijima Kou? Where's the rest of the enemies?

Are they rushing it? Or this is just what happened in the VN?

I'm so sad right now. How the hell did the show develop from awesome to ultra bad.

Erm ok, the speech about saving the world again seems a bit off and what the hell? Everything was going so good until this point, now I'm really curious if they are rushing this or if they are failing to include what the VN did good at. Though I hope they don't rush it, and they have 2 episodes left to fill with some really good materials.

Glad to see everyone reunited again, even someone I called a old hag returned with some goodies, the classmates, engineers from JAXA, more random people and Hiroba's father! I'll honestly say that I didn't expect him there. Glad to see everything working out. I guess this is where the show picks up from the first episode where we see they finally get the robot going.

2 episodes left, don't you dare disappoint me now, especially not this far.

Dear Robotics;Notes,

You suck!

Sincerely,

A guy who never liked you to begin with, but was still shocked by how low you sunk with this episode.

P.S. I'd rather watch Chaos;Head than watch you ever again. At least that anime pretended it had a plot for the first half.


Dear Flawfinder,

Then why did you bother watching it?

Ooh. The whole Tanegashima citizens vs. Kimijima Kou.
Really can't wait to see Gunvarrel. I wonder if they can make it slimmer like the real one? We just have to see!!

Didn't expect Sister Centipede to be the Report No. 0. I am thinking it contains a program to defeat Kimijima Kou itself.

The story is becoming very far fetched and weird...

The base idea is good. In a nutshell; kids in the robotics club build a robot to save the world. However, the dramatic story twists are just too bizarre and kind of ruin the whole thing.
With the correct story to link the base idea to, it could've been more enjoyable, and even nostalgic..

Oh my god that speech couldn't have been worse and seriously when they're revealing all the revelations about Misaki and the SS Anemone, all this hope and crap comes in and blows all seriousness factor out.

The link back to their first robot is poorly done, the thing is they never showed any potential for it (namely because it didn't have any) and now they're going to throw a monopole motor in it and it's gonna kick ass.

They somewhat outlined the upcoming final two episodes together with this one (robot goes and stops the SERN missile thing and Kimijima Kou's plan), but it appears it'll be a disappointing conclusion, which is a shame considering the last few episodes were absolutely soaring and I was loving it.

Well, it's a open invitation to surprise me in the final two, since I'm shockingly disappointed right now.

Ok so I've just realized this won't be as good as Steins;Gate. But still, the ep was nice, I'll probably give the show a final score of 8/10


The problem I see is that everyone keeps putting R;N and S;G on the same level for comparisons rather than an extension of the other stories

But they ARE fighting the committee! Its not like all 300 will appear. Take this perspective:

C;H: We have 3 of them (Old men and Faux-Giglo)
S;G: SERN with help of FB, M40 and a few rounders
R;N: Kimijima Kou

They hide in the shadows for a reason

Not a bad episode. I seen worse.

Being haunted by a ghost that can hack computer is plain suck, imagine him threatening to reveal your internet browsing history to public! I'll bury myself in a hole if that happens.

Can understand why Misaki act strange.

Its great seeing everyone came to help with building the robot, now the robot they build since the series began will finally be relevant to the plot.

LOL The same to me.

Really love that part when lots of people come to help.

And I disagree on this will go Guilty Crown. Don't underestimate nitro+. You'll get blow away again, I've read the review of this when it came out 4-5 episodes, people said it'll be suck, but it's a different story coming to now.

I don't understand why everybody says this episode is bad. Aki's speech? Well, you know, she's a light-hearted, optimistic girl and she REALLY loves robots. Haven't you ever love something?
And it's the first time I see a character in science;adventures damning the Commitee of 300 (as far as I can remember, at least). This shows that she's really strong. Probably she's not the best character in the world, but hey, Aki's not that bad.

It seems that everybody has to die in a series to be good. I don't see it like that.
The problem is that you want another Steins;Gate-like series. And I don't want that, honestly. For me, another "Steins;Gate" with other setting would have been really boring and repetitive. And I like Robotics;Notes for what it is, no for what it is if we compare it to Steins;Gate, because I love both shows (and also Chaos;Head VN); I'm a "science adventure" fan, after all, and I'm loving all the conexions and references they're making in R;N.

For me, this was a good episode. I'm really enjoying R;N.

Exactly what I was trying to convey!! Why not see R;N a further extension of the existing universe that leads up some sort of superteam series in the endgame (we all know it will come). I am infatuated with the s;g mythos cannon or not but I just can't see both as the same thing but separate entities

and I may add this episode was packed with references to the previous series. Did anyone see the Mr. Braun in the background of the evacuees?

Well, to be honest, I just don't know what to say.
Being a fan, I liked this episode, but... well. You know.
Aki is still a great character. Really. Even if her speech wasn't believable, it was very sincere and rousing.
Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the second part of the episode.
It's hard for me to say this, but Robotics;Notes-anime is critically close to Chaos;Head- anime in awfulness.
Like I said, I'm enjoying it personally, because I'm a fan of the series, but I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone outside of KagakuAdv-fandom... which is not s big, as I can see.
(And I mean KagakuAdv-fandom, not Steins;Gate-fandom).

Let me disagree with you on that!.. It's not like we want "Steins;Gate with other setting", we want good, strong story that would've on the same quality level with Steins;Gate and Chaos;Head (VN, anime was awful). Instead we get this: bland, boring story with mostly lifeless characters, cheesy speeches in the moments of drama and incomprehensible twists.

Yes, after success of Steins;Gate we had our bar set pretty high for this, but it still an underwhelming anime, at least in my opinion...

This ep disappointed me. Until now in every ep i found something that I liked, sometimes more, sometimes less. This time anything, emptiness. too much happiness, hope. I expected darkness, a sense of oppression and terror, instead it seems that the possible death of billions of people does not frighten minimally. Not to mention the ridiculous speech made by Aki. I'm disappointed for the first time in whole the show.


Well, if you took the time to think about it, people always want to think on the bright side, and that is what they are doing. I mean, if you knew you could change your fate from death to life, I'm pretty sure you would pick life, as the answer is the Gun-Pro 1. Also, it explains why I find horror entertainment scarier than one in real life, as I carry the ability to change just what is going to happen. R;N seems a tad bit more realistic for me. And about Aki's speech, well if had to keep all those feelings bottled up, the moment you can open it, you can't stop. Still, that question with her sis liking robots was a weird. I mean, WHY ASK THAT!? Still, they explained it, it could be like replacing most of the robots in her speech with anime.

Well, Steins;Gate is a masterpiece, and masterpieces don't appear every day. And just because S;G is amazing doesn't really mean that R;N and C;H are not good.

I think this looks "lifeless" because of the adaptation. I haven't played the original VN, but for what I've read, it seems that it's pretty good. And for me R;N is not boring and never was, I enjoyed every moment (even the "slice of life" ones), because not everything is about conspiracies and the end of the world.

Yeah, I also see Frau as a female Okabe. But she's more a mix of Okabe, Daru and probably Kurisu.
Yeah, I agree with you, it could have been well executed. I think that, again, the problem is the anime adaptation. I thought from the very begining that 22 episodes were few for a really long visual novel.

Hmm, I do not want another Steins;Gate (I wanted it when this was announced, but starting from the first episode I saw that this is way too different). I rate it from all points of views, and can spot typical anime/cheap movie industry cliches, character development and so on, which makes it look pretty bad sometimes, in my opinion.

And I'm not even talking about random story and focusing-on-too-many-things, yet not in a good way, which makes it blank and kind of pointless. Don't even want to to into the details about this.

Oh yeah, and I don't think this anime is bad. It has it's good sides, I gave it 5/10 for now, which makes it at least "fine" in my kind of rating system.
