This mech anime is really good. At first glance I thought it wouldn't be very good and just a vehicle for fan service. A cursory Google search tells me the manga is still running which makes me curious as to why folks aren't sure where the anime will end. I'm looking forward to finding out.

entirely vague non plot divulging reason why
this next arc takes you on a ride that Does Not Stop with a lot of layers that literally the very most recent chapters are just now uncovering

I want a remaster of the song in the OP. The composition is really good and it gets stuck in my head constantly, but the song could be so much better in terms of mixing (too-loud high pitched drone, too-quiet strings section, good vocals but with lacking presence).

So potentially a notable change. If Ikeuchi died there, instead of just losing consciousness. Then a notable plot point from the manga is changed. As he never went to Madoka's group until after the fire there, and managed to convince himself that he was not betraying Sayaka's group whenever the threads activated. (As it only works if the person actually feels like they are betraying the group.)

Speaking of the manga, I saw the digital version was 8 bux on comixology/kindle so I caved in and grabbed the first volume.

The art is definitely good, something that really stands out is how differently Shuichi is drawn when Claire is inside.

Episode 11:

So Shuichi was part of a group of friends (from the cram school?) who were right there from the beginning, hell this Honoka girl seems to have started the whole thing, even if her intentions were good. I say "seems to" because I don't trust alien boy and farther than I could punt a Kyubey.

Have no idea how this all ties in with Elena yet, since she wasn't in that picture.

I may have just missed something obvious though.*

Isn't that Elena on the left? She doesn't quite look the same but the hair and eye colors match, and if that's supposed to be Shuichi he looks a little different too.

Well huh. Yeah it sure is, looked different on my phone (or i wasn't paying enough attention to my own post :v: ) and it totally makes sense that Honoka is the one taking the picture. Maybe the bangs between the eyes helped throw me off.


Were either of the other 2 in Elena's group? I don't think so, but well...

I like the premise that even the shows protagonist is going "I'm not the main character in this story" and then when we see the apparent real antagonist he goes "This is my story"

Well, that episode was a wild ride. :gonk:

The worst partOne of several worst parts is: Honoka/Aiko reaching up to Kaito, as he's strangling her, almost as if to say "oh, i thought maybe you, at least liked me. Possibly, just a tiny bit" or maybe "it's ok. I guess no one likes me even as someone else. Go ahead." Both, neither? I don't know but :smith:

Oh my god. I'm hooked. Where the gently caress is this show going, an episode away from completion? And will there be a second season?

Pretty sure there will be a season 2. As with one exception they have faithfully followed the manga. And if they want they can pretty easily rollback the change they made.

Also Kaito's self righteousness is kind of amazing.

So why isn't the ghost deleting Erena? She knows about her friend too.

We have to be missing a big piece of info, since both she and that guy (Nao--something?) in her group seem to know the whole deal, possibly reaaally specific memory editing?

e:
Way early on, i started to wonder if something was up with Shuichi's parents but, i forgot all about them with everything else that happened. The reveal therefor caught me off guard completely

Anyway if you want to jump into the manga at around the point where the anime ends, I think chapter 35 is the place to do so.
