Well, I just watched it.
Overall score is 6/10. Just because of the first half and characters.
While there wasn't much char-development, characters themselves was very good.
Well, and, still better than Chaos;Head anime. At least there wasn't much original content from animators. And, like I said, the first half too was pretty good.
Production IG or Hanada Juuki, whoever it was, the show is ruined by them.
Like someone said on youtube, it seems that odd-number Curse from StarTrek fandom is now stroke SciADV-adaptations.
I hope that SciADV4 anime will be good.
Pretty sad that I'm mostly depend on other people's words about the VN. If it wasn't the case and I could read it, I've never started to watch an anime in the first place.


sciAVD 4 wont b a VN i was pissed its gonna be a novel or a manga then an anime its called Oculltic;Nine

Good ending to the series! There were some things I would've liked to see done differently, but still a very nice wrap-up.

Kai's reflexes really helped him out! Misa got saved and Kimijima erased. I would have loved to see more KaixAki but oh well. :P

8/10.

At the very last episode I finally realised, why this anime disappointed me so much...
All previous series had an interesting concept behind them, with some philosophy in it (not incredibly deep, of course, but still):
Chaos;Head had gigalomaniacs, New Gen and theme of reality vs delusions;
Steins;Gate had worldlines, legend of John Titor and theme of value of memories;
Robotics;Notes had... giant robots and theme of "do you love robots?"

This made it much more forgettable, bland and kinda boring to me...

Thought the theme had something to do with one's dreams or something idk.

It should've been about AR and the real world coming close together which I think would've been a good and interesting topic in addition to the series. But they focused on the wrong things. Giant robots? Really?

Steins;Gate was just inferior in every possible way. I don't understand why so many people liked it watching it, they ought to get their eyes checked, end of story.

AMIRITE?


At last someone with some sense. The majority seems to disagree with us though.


I think the majority of us weren't on the same stuff as you guys.
I'll grant the animation was better, and the characters had more likeability and depth- but the story took forever to _not_ tell you dozens of things, and there was so much Deus ex for plot resolutions and BS for complications that it seriously disappointed anyone who paid attention (or did you not think Mizuka's death was badly done?).

You love Frau so much, huh?
What happened to her mom?
What happened with the people who were cheat/hacking her game?
What happened with the people who were mind controlled from her game- were there more?
How did the goons get past her security without her noticing?
That's just for Frau. Most characters have unfinished business, or at least unresolved influences. We won't even talk about how Subaru and Jun just disappeared for long stretches because it was too much trouble to even show they were alive.

There are way more reasons to be upset this anime did not live up to it's potential- and I'm glad you love it- more power to you. I liked Frau's character too- that's why not getting answers pi$$ed me off.

So, my eyes worked well enough to see that they didn't finish what they started. No top score for that if you don't mind.
If you aren't watching Zetsuen no Tempest (Civilization Blaster), you should be. Brilliant writing with legit plot twists.

I thought it was a pretty meh conclusion to a pretty solid series. I gave it an 8/10...probably would've gave it a 9 if it had a better ending. I prefer endings where everything is resolved...this? It sort of felt like they finished the epic Kaito vs. Misaki fight and then they were like, oh shit, we only have 3 minutes left.

I wish this had another episode to sort of hash everything out.

I think it was both of them since the scene before the credits had Kai saying "let's go higher." I'm guessing he meant space. lol

Hard to say. That's one thing I didn't like about the ending. It was just too damn vague.

And that's it for Robotics;Notes. Another one of the fall anime has ended.

When I first watched it, I wasn't sure what it even was about. I kept watching and somehow a certain theme materialized and I liked it. Somewhere along the middle part R;N became *really* good and had me at the edge of my seat almost every week but the last few episodes lost their, to use a famous word of the show, impact. Maybe I expected more drama? Or I just wanted the plot to develop in another direction and have Kimijima Kou actually be the hero who he was described as in the reports. Him turning into the villain was probably the show's point of no return. Anyway, all in all it was a pleasant experience and the anime had enough good moments to justify a 8/10 score.

Too much comparison to S;G which I felt was unnecessary from certain MAL viewers.

Theme of this series was a lot more light hearted and possibly cultural references involving giant robots and mecha is lost upon western audience.

1. Music
2. Animation quality
3. Relationships between characters

-
1. Slow paced
2. Ending felt a bit rush
3. Plothole issues which are probably not in VN

I would change "slow paced" to "weak pacing." Slow done right is fine. They just couldn't decide what they wanted to focus on, and you'd have a major episode followed by two slow ones, then another couple of faster paced ones, and repeat. Other than that I think you pretty much nailed it. It almost felt like a SOL with action/adventure/sci-fi elements, as opposed to the other way around.

They're not wrong, but the anime just focused too much on it, The VN itself like you said focused also on AR. It just went very underplayed in the anime. Much like Frau's Mother, Kai's dream (Which was to become an astronaut), and Sawada's party involvement was turned into a Deux ex Machina.

That is a valid point, but most people prefer fiction because it usually isn't as messy and loose-ended as real life. Also, good writing is about an agreement in a way- You can't suggest 'This story will be about giant robots and there might be a battle', then destroy the robot twice, and deliver 5 minutes of battle. I mean, sure- you can, but it's a crappy thing to do. Likewise killing off the only approachable adult character the MC could rely on- for no good reason- and then forgetting how important they were for the rest of the series? Not a good plan. How about setting up a rivalry between two expert robot battlers, then writing one off due to injury & forgetting him? These aren't 'unsolved' issues- but they are major point which probably drew people in at the beginning- then were just dropped. As for kazuma & kurisu, I have no idea who you're talking about- sorry.

An appropriate ending for an anime I had very high hopes for but didn't quite meet the expectations I had.

This show was slow at the start and corny towards the end, but I think overall it was good. Certainly, it had nothing that made it great but AR was a unique thing to add and I had just wished that they made more to it or utilised it more. R;N lost part of its potential to be awesome but there were still retained some great moments which makes me think that this is worthy of a:

Though people say that the anime is lost potential, terrible, crap, comparing to its prequels, etc. I say it was amazing for me! It was just the right amount of scary for me, and this episode, well... JUST AMAZING! I picked it up because, I'm not a fan of its prequels, but rather a fan of humanoid robots, and that is what it is about... a bit. It adds mystery, combat, love, and more to it with it, sure I can't say its worse than its prequel, but if you thought about it, I'm pretty sure the Visual Novel was meant to be geared towards players, and those who enjoy humanoid robots like myself, and I believe the anime was just trying to get money off the fans of the Visual Novel, it wasn't truly meant for us, anime lovers. So, its understandable to be somewhat angry at it, but remember, it is PROBABLY not geared to anime fans, but a way to make wallets dry for the fans of the Visual Novel.

If that was their intention (to please the VN players) then it didn't work at all. All the "magic" that made me like the VN, was either omitted or underplayed.

A good ending to a good show. I'm going to miss watching this weekly. At first I thought the ending was kind of sudden, but then they had the epilogue scene and for the most part that smoothed everything out for me. An enjoyable, inspiring, slice of life show with robots. What more can I say? I would have liked to see a bit more of the future in the last few minutes. Maybe just to see what everyone is up to, but I can't really complain!

I agree chaos head was better and if it was able to span out as long as robotic notes it could've fleshed out the characters and plot better.

Also with this ending I expected it to be more detailed with more insight on the characters afterwards Frau ftw, but it was a little bit sudden to end like that for me

Too much complaining for a decent show. I actually enjoyed the ride through on this anime. I'm not super thrilled on how it ended. I would of liked to see a bit more on Akiho and Kaito.

I'm definitely not going to complain about an anime that took a step in a different direction then all these other shounen/harem/moe ones. I had happy moments and sad moments. Definitely worth watching once.

Like what most other people think, it would have been better if they were able to stretch the series to the full 25 episodes but I guess they started late with their production. Had they did, we would see more of a polished product.

But with the time frame that they worked with, I think they did a solid job with it. Some episodes were actually really good, like that one where they tied in all the references from the previous nitroplus works. So, I gave it a generous 7.5/10, rounded to 8.

I don't really see a point in comparing Robotics;Notes to Chaos;Head. The only thing remotely interesting and in common to each other our Semicolons.

Despite what I just said, Chaos;Head was like a newly made pirate ship leaving shore and instantly sinking. I at least enjoyed R;N and S;G all the way through. I may have turned emo and tried to cut grass during C;H.
