I wonder if Maeda wrote that song too. Seemed like his level of engrish in those lyrics.

Totally rooting for these two superpowered teenage sociopaths to find happiness together.  And maybe spare the rest of us in their thousand-year-reign of horror, bloodshed, and unpleasantly creative use of dango skewers.

Well, that certainly kicked into high gear way too quickly. They could have smoothed out the pacing by cutting some of the early episodes. And some of the show deliberately lying and misleading the audience also rubs me the wrong way. Oh well, let's see where the next episode takes it and puts the events of the last 9 in context. Also, why no mosh pit? Is it not a Japanese thing?

Its sort of weird since I seem to recall the concerts that occurred in Angel Beats were more concerty, (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l1apVaZJZ0) rather than rock fans sitting calmly in rows of folding chairs.

How come Jun Maeda creates such awesomely inspired shows but is never trusted enough with an actual budget to have a two-cours series where he can properly pace himself?

It's not a rock concert, it's a post-rock concert.  Phobophilia posted:I'm pretty sure this is 2 cour anyway. Let's hope so. Wikipedia says 13 episodes, but hopefully it's wrong. Also hopefully, this doesn't end up with Yuu getting his brother's power and 17 episodes of him travelling back in time and trying to make Nao fall in love with him all over again or something. e; vv it feels like there's been a larger than usual amount of one-cours shows being made with the pacing of a 2-cours show to minimise financial risk this year, so I could see this being another one.

To be honest, what I think the show needs most is better subs. So many scenes, lines, and jokes which seemed otherwise fine that were worded incredibly awkwardly for no particular reason.

InspectorCarbonara posted:So is this series just going to turn into Steins;Gate now? Speaking of that, I was wondering why the protagonist had memories from a timeline which, from his perspective at least, never happened. His brother said the other guy had erased the protagonist's memories, but he should've never had them in the first place unless he had something like Okabe did in Steins;Gate. Where's the limit on this? Who else remembered? It can't have been too many, or the guy wiping the memories never would've been able to get everyone. Maybe only people nearby when the time-leap happened remembered? Maybe it never happened at all, and the memory-manipulation guy has planted some false memories in his head as part of some elaborate plot. Perhaps it's just a plot hole, though that'd be disappointing.

Well, that still didn't explain why the main character remembers any of the other timelines, especially since the one he remembered didn't appear to be the last one his brother leaped from, so I'm a little confused about that. Hopefully that gets explained somehow. Also, he needs to remember to get around to helping out Nao's brother again, since he hasn't done that yet at this point.

The only timeline that Yuu remembered was the timeline from which he had timeleapt originally. Also, Shun's body always reverted to the age he was at at the time to which he leapt back. Quantum entanglement or something similar caused the original timeline to be preserved across all timelines, at least in some sense, for those that had been party to that timeline, or something, since we know that it can go backward in time http://www.livescience.com/19975-spooky-quantum-entanglement.html On the other hand, Ayumi Only remembered the existence of a third member of their nuclear family, with nothing to suggest that either she or anyone else remembered the original timeline. EDIT: Just rewatched the segment from ep 9: It's unclear which of the two actually leapt and there were gunshots at the very end of his memory and a black screen, so it's entirely possible, but I thought it had been more clear that it was Yuu that had originally leapt.

Would've thought they would've made it clearer if what'd actually happened was that Yuu had nicked his power and then gone back himself, only for it to not work out and his older brother having to go back some more, but I guess that's what could've happened. Still, even then, it doesn't exactly explain why he kept the memories, since those events would be erased just the same by his brother's own time-leaps that took place afterwards. I'll stop going on about it now, in any case, but I hope it gets addressed in the show.

Well, as long as Yuu has positive influences around him to repress his latent sociopathy, he should be okay for the next 3 years, and won't become the villain. Actually, now that I think about it, having Yuu on the council team was probably a bad idea, Yuu could have, at any time, possessed some of the other members (for legitimate or illegitimate reason), and destroyed the ability of the council to function. And once they lose their abilities, Yuu is going to work out that he can keep them, and then there is nothing to check him. I think they should have left it as "can temporarily borrow their powers" than "permanently drains their powers". Right now, it's sloppy writing.

Yeah that bothered me too. Just ridiculously reckless to the point of being dumb. The other council members were incredibly casual with their ability use too, it would be nothing for them to get possessed.Lemon Curdistan posted:We still don't know the extent of his brother's time-travel powers, so for all we know he can take some people with him or something. It's a bit early to be calling it a plothole. Didn't the brother just straight up say he takes whatever he see's with him? Which would be Yuu during the escape, and Nao in the last one? She is certainly cagey enough in the porch scene to still remember. It's not that big of a leap to imagine her being pissed about her brother or something. The ability having something like that would go a long ways towards making the empire he apparently runs more feasible too.

He also arrived in a black car, so he's probably from money.. perhaps A SYNDICATE?!

Wrong person, she's from Shun's crew. And even if they did see it, so long as the ability-user is enrolled in that school, no one can abduct her. Just how they are able to influence the government to protect them from the scientists is unclear. Money plus blackmail material? In any case, I think Shun's syndicate and the scientists have some kind of detente going on, the school is off-limits, but the scientists can harvest people from any other prefecture in Japan. If Shun starts expanding his influence, at some point the scientists are going to escalate to higher in the food chain and declare all-out-war on Shun.
