This. This is what I was expecting of Coppelion. I hope they don't keep doing that forced drama with Ibuki, because it really destroys her character. As for Aoi, I think she is probably the dead last of their class.

I'm baffled by the fact that 5 people have favorited Aoi. I mean.....the duck??
Normally I'm not one to hate characters that most people do hate. But she makes me wanna break things sometimes.
Kana Hanazawa really shouldn't take any job without thinking things over first. She's done so many bad characters lately.

Oh, the episode sucked, yeah.

At least there's hope with a new character coming in, I might like (but I wouldn't bet on it).

FINALLY, we get the chance to see the new white-haired guy.
Anyway, good episode overall. Not overly dramatic, and some new characters are introduced, that's a great thing.

Throughout this episode, I kept wondering if Ibara was going to cry at x or y, so glad there was an episode without the Tears Strait, albeit it was so-so. Aoi is seriously cringe worthy, she's just so out of place in this series. That old man that made the robot looks like a character from the Simpsons, can't remember who. Ugh, a one dimensional Prime Minister that abuses his power, haven't seen that before.. The clean-up crew guy has me interested at least.

Hmm? We get to meet a new Coppelion?

The prime minister is paranoid.

And there's something dodgy about that home they've made.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

The worst thing about this show is that it's taking itself way too seriously.
It pretends so hard to have a solid story that I'm starting to find the whole thing rather funny.

"Let's send 3 pretty much unarmed highschool girls who obviously have no control over their emotions to save some smart adults who invented suits to keep them from contamination, made an entire ecosystem indoors, built a hydroelectric power plant, a humanoid robot and also tend to use a tank to move around!"

Sounds like a great idea, right? I wonder how those people can save themselves without Coppelion!

It's an anime, I know, but you can't deny how silly this sounds.

That A LOT people like her exist is obvious even without you pointing that out.
That is also totally fine (as long as I don't have to deal with them).

So maybe if you think about it just a little bit, you'll come to the conclusion that all the hate towards her comes from the fact she's supposed to be an elite human, highly trained in overcoming stress situations like this (you would assume).

She's just a normal, whiny, useless girl with a radiation proof body, who doesn't belong there.
Coppelion is said to be somewhat the pinnacle in human science so far. They never would an important project like that result in an unstable crybaby, an "okay girl in glasses" and a crybaby that doesn't help AT ALL in the mission that's supposed to be the whole reason for her existence.

Hopefully the new guy will make Coppelion a little bit better than it has been.

And I like Aoi, but I may be biased since she's voiced by HanaKana, it's not like her character type is new people.

Well the girls will have their hands full for the next three days until rescue arrives. So we finally get to see the boy he looks like a weapons master or specialist.

Once again, Aoi does nothing useful. :P Not hating on her, just stating the obvious. It's hard to hate characters when they haven't done much or displayed most of their personality.

I'm not sure why Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 is on it's recommendation list as the highest, because they have very different feelings when I watch them.

Judging from the comments, people seem to have gotten more enthusiastic about the show all of a sudden, just because they've introduced a clichéd "badass" bishounen character whom the neckbeards may relate themselves to.

I don't understand all the hate for the main cast, either. Countless shows, both Japanese and western, have featured emotionless genetically enhanced soldiers; it has become somewhat of a cliché. I for one is pleased by how Coppelion diverges from that trend.

AOI YOU ANNOYING BITCH JUST SHUT UP, SHUT UP AND DIE.

God, every time she speaks my rating for this show goes a grade down. Thankfully though, Ibara makes up for it... When she's not crying because whatever, anyway.

Anyways about the episode... I understand 1st Division attacking the outsiders who left them there to rot, but why attack the people who are in the same shit as you are? What do you gain by doing that?
Not to mention, why was the pregnant woman going out for a ride in a highly toxic, military zone instead of staying inside of their super fancy space base? WHYYYYYYY-

Oh and the space base is obviously not powered by water. I mean, that's the only thing I can conclude from that comment that the father made...

I won't even comment on the Prime Minister.

Coppelion, y u hurt my brain so much? :<

Looking forward for the new guy because this show was in dire need of adding someone new/seemingly important into the mix.

...but i'm also not really looking forward to the next episode because I can already hear Aoi screaming and crying in the preview. Hopefully then I can keep my sanity and i'll be ready to press the mute button just in case.


I'm tempted to drop the show partly because of Aoi. Can't stand her at all. As parfaited said, she's unfit for the job.

Finally the "cleaning party" is coming. I can sense a change in pace and direction in the coming episodes.
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.

Considering the way the grenade guy was acting, he might be a pretty tough guy, maybe even upto ibaras level. He's probably gonna be an ally as the vice-principal asked his team to help out ibara.
Things are gonna get a whole lot interesting

Introduction of a new character is probably the best thing this show has done since the first episode... Hopefully, it will add some kind of continuous plot and stop these little one-off self-contained episodes with the ham-handed emotional ploys (yes, we get that the scene is supposed to be "sad" or "meaningful," you don't need to shove it on our faces with characters sobbing like someone kicked their puppy into oncoming traffic).

/sigh. In other words, for a 13 episode series, I think it's a little bit too late for this show to redeem itself. Instead of an ongoing plot, they shoved the story onto the characters... unfortunately, the characters are completely unbelievable and are little more than caricatures of anime stereotypes. Unless they introduce a character that has more complexity than "I eat a lot! Aren't I cute?!", this show will just continue to fall flat.

It's a shame... the visuals are stunning, great style and feel through the art, direction, and music, but that's really it. For a show that has been in production for so long and miraculously wound up making it to TV instead of being shelved, you'd think that it would be more well-developed than this.

Man, the animators really outdid themselves this episode. The colored storyboards during the action scenes were breathtaking, and this driving scene out of the 60's with the looping background:

"She's having contractions." In a way an interesting twist (life goes on in the chaos), but in another a big cliché. It's hard to give up on the expectation of the post-apo theme to be treated with a more serious tone, even if it's clear by now it won't happen in this anime.

Aaww yeah, clean-up crew coming right up.

What a terrible prime minister. He's such an asshole. Looks like the Medical Unit is going to meet up with the clean up crew. It looks like there is a guy who doesn't need a hazmat suit. Wha does he clean up? Waste or people? Also I just noticed that in the ED a doll goes in and a person comes out. I think it's Taeko.

Good episode, we got introduced to different characters, and now a new Coppelion is joining the fight maybe, that reaction from the father of the pregnant woman makes him really suspicious, also that prime minister is annoying.
