| That long speech Kimijima Kou was delivering about him being super cold and fast in his decision-making to proceed with his plan...in front of people he was going to shoot... just didn't make sense. And what a lack of suspense, we all knew that they wouldn't be shot down by him there, so why even bother? Every time Kimijima Kou appears personally... He utterly fails. |
| For everyone complaining about villain, interesting copypasta He was a researcher that wanted to further manking through technology, he wanted to preserve dying people and store them on networks like Iru-O so they never had to die. His genius did not go unnoticed, and he was extended a hand into the elite, The Committee of 300. Their ethics were virtually nonexistent but they had resources, more than he usually would. So he sat through unethical experiments that could be considered torture, he conducted research that often left people done for, but it all amounted to the greater good. He met a very ill girl named Airi, and, determined to save her, he ran the first edition of his technology that he hoped would preserve mankind. He wrote the Kimijima reports, in the hope of defecting from the Committee once he had what he needed, in the hopes of helping the world. Then? He conducted the wrong experiment, and the sister of one of the subjects brained him with a wrench. Dead, his corrupted conciousness remained on the network, but with the limitations of a program, it only understood directive and had no heart. While it had all of his memories, it had no feelings. Kimijima Kou was dead, only a bastardized abberation remained, not caring for who it hurt. |

| This was a fantastic episode! One of the best of the entire show! I forgot how much I love this show... I'm just really glad that Kai and Aki happened. It had been hinted at from the very first episode, and I was hoping it would develop, and what do you know, it did! Loved it! Now I am really excited for the finale! |

If you aren't watching Zetsuen no Tempest (Civilization Blaster), you should be. Brilliant writing with legit plot twists. Just finished blog entry 'Japanese Authors Take Heed' Series (JATH)! Entry 03: Proactive Villains, Reactionary Heroes'. |

| The GunPro-1 kinda remind me a T-rex, with those tiny arms. |
LittleStar said: Also Subaru love Akiho!? Since when? xD I found this even more out of sorts than Kai's sudden confession. Seemed as though Subaru was on a Frau or Jun route, if any route at all. |
| I like how Aki even mentioned a Nae and Onee-sama route for Kai, but not a Jun one. |

raykable said: You could share whatever thing you're smokin', dudeThe biggest problem with R;N is the peoples who are watching it. Absolutely EVERYTHING is logical, but it has been written to make the spectator think about what is going on (Not obvious enough for normalfags= "lulz wut iz dat shet"). So basically if you think there is a plot hole in the end of Steins;Gate, there is a chance that you won't like R;N. Because there's no plot hole at all in the end of Steins;Gate. And I actually like how is Gunprod 1, it looks home-made :D |

| wha wha wha wha wha wha wha wha wha... WHAT HAPPENED!! @@ uggghh,, i wanna climb up the friendzone ladder xD but seriously,,, why do i have to watch that scene for 3 times? xD |
 |
| Gosh. Didn't like it. It just doesn't have the atmosphere. |
| Wow... That was unexpected but I loved it. This is the one of the best episode! I love that confession! I love the way they kissed each other. ^^ It's one of the greatest kissing scene I've seen so far in most anime series that I've watched.. And Kai, is one of the great male character that I've met. :) |

| So cute. I thought Kai was in love by Frau, but I ever was shipping Kai x Aki, I was so happy when Kaito said he loves Akiho ♥ Plus, I liked Airi and Sister Centipede in this episode. So sad :c |

I thought he is busying with his translation of S;G materials, he watches R;N too? But if the source is really from him then maybe he got it wrong. In the VN there's nothing like that being mentioned. The anime makes it look like Kimijima still got some redemption when he's still alive. The prelude novel "Senomiya Misaki's Unpublished Notes" clearly depicts him as a |

meguchiinyan said: The confession scene reminded me of Steins;Gate's confession scene c: Haha me too, he did it Kyouma style, "And what about you?" |
 |
| "Can I get a kiss as a blessing from the Goddess of Victory?" Awesome line to ask for a kiss to seal the deal. Also loved how Kaito confessed so directly and casually. He had control over the flow. Lol, the rest of the club was watching it all unfold in real time. Spilled the beans for the others as well, Subaru had feelings for Akiho while Kona had hers for Kaito. And then we return to that scene from episode 1. I love it when scenes go full circle like this. Only the finale left. |
kngu said: I thought Kai would go the Frau route too Her "route" ended in episode 14. Her grabbing his arm was glimpse of her ending picture. Did you notice that there was zero development between Frau and Kai after that episode? I still wonder why anyone could think that Kai is into Kona. |

GateLambda said: Those drones look awfully familiar to the ones in Battlefield 3 ... pic: http://bf3blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/battlefield-3-mav.jpg Or maybe that's just their generic appearance. Either way, great ep <3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeywell_RQ-16_T-Hawk It's based off of the Honeywell RQ-16 T-Hawk which is made for the US Army. |

While other naive fanboys and fangirls run around in real life forming clubs and squealing in deafening high pitch noises about their favourite animus, we remain here, meticulously dismantling the credibility of each and every show, until all that remains is a steaming pile of tropes and ass pulls which we then devour to gratiyfy our glutinous and masochistic desires. |
| I'm glad there won't be an much of an UST ending! Thank god |
 |
| Damn why didn't Frau win... feels bad man. |
| I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe. |
| poor sister caterpillar ;( I liked her and it was so sad scene when she say 'goodbay' to Airi. Kai was so cute when he say I love you to Aki ;3 awww Like it ;D |
| HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG Kai X Aki ftw bout friggen time |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| Kai x Aki with the other reaction made my day XD. |
 |
| Omfg YES! Kai x Aki finally happened! WOOOT! God I just loved that beautiful kiss scene <3333. They were both acting so cute with each other and it was really nice to see Aki flustered like that. What a fantastic moment and episode. And the background music playing during that scene made everything even better. The scene that Aki had with Kai before his confession was a great one as well. It had me feeling so sad and sentimental about what's coming up next in the final battle. I am so glad they decided to follow that up with Kai's confession. Lol at Subaru and Frau's reaction. Didn't expect Subaru to act like that either haha. Loved the way they ended this episode as well. |

| Airi: Why are you doing this? Kou: Why? Because I want to complete the experiment. Airi: Why do you want to complete the experiment? Kou: Why? Because I want to complete the experiment. WOW, THEY COULDN'T EVEN GIVE THE MAIN ANTAGONIST A PROPER MOTIVE?! AT THIS POINT I WOULDN'T EVEN CARE IF HE WANTED REVENGE ON HUMANITY BECAUSE HIS WORLD OF WARCRAFT ACCOUNT GOT HACKED. I can't believe the people behind this created Steins:Gate (9/10) because this anime is absolutely abysmal. 4/10... I'll be flipping tables if they stuff up the Steins;Gate movie... The confession scene is alright, but holy crap, I never face-palmed so hard in ages...... |

| Kissu!(´ε｀ )♡ wow, this was so sudden, somehow I didn't saw it coming... Unfortunately, compared to steins;gate, where we saw similar scene under similar circumstances, this one didn't had an "impact". I cried during scene in S;G but here... well it was what I wanted since the beginning of the show but it lacks something, same as the story in general. |
 |
| A really good episode, it's just as full as it should be before the end. But I still can't see how this is gonna end in just one episode = Anyways, it's great that Kai confessed to Aki. Still leetshoe said: l thought he was on Frau's route :D But I didn't see Subaru being in love with Aki, lol. Anyways, I didn't expect Super GunPro Build 1 to run so smoothly. |
  |
| I love how kai confessed to aki and I also like how they kissed :D |

samurai1993 said: Toucanbird said: This show is so underrated, it's depressing. I don't see how a series connected with Steins;Gate can be underrated, but for some reason, this one sure is. I wonder how this series is going to end? I can't wait for the final episode to find out. Some of us actually like to see consistent character progression and a solid backdone to the story, something that Steins;Gate was very good at: 1 story at a time, and at a correct pace. Robotics;Notes, though having good individual parts, tried to use so many of them at the same time, executing so many parallel stories without establishing a solid foundation, resulting in a weak development that started to fall apart slowly around chapter 10. You need more than cliffhangers, cute romantic scenes (even as good as this confession was) and a pseudo-serious, conspirational and desutional theme to build a good story, and one of those requirements is "consistency". That's the main difference between Steins;Gate and Robotics;Notes. Couldn't have said it better. The built-up to the character relationships and so on in Stein Gate was very well done and especially with the girl he loves. Their relationship developed in-frond of our eyes. Not so in this case. This feels more like Characters just do stuff cause is anime. |
bastek66 said: Nice I hate it!! I want Kona x Kaito!! |
The real world is past the virtual world is future. |
| That confession <3 Quite a lovely episode, I like how they managed to put a proper love story next to the main story and still making time for a kiss scene! That device sure is strong, I wonder how he'll be using it! Great episode I really loved it, lets see what's up for the final episode! The buildup is there so lets see if the ending will be as epic! |
 |
| BEST GIRL WON?!?! Fuck yeah. |
 |
| Why would he give her the button? She's practically guaranteed to hesitate and get him killed (if we ignore the fact that this is an anime and that can't possibly happen). I think if I was about to throw my life away for the sake of the world, I'd be asking for more than just a kiss ;) |
| 5/5 Episode that affected a little banality of the plot, but the ending makes it exciting vision. Narration enough, only in the second part there is an incentive addictive! Drawing with ups and downs, animations on the same line indicates. I hope that the ending is not too predictable. Frau beat Aki sharply as interest. Frau + Love = one more point in voting! XD |
 |
| "DIE, NORMALFAGS!!!!!!!" LMAO!! I'm a little upset because I wanted Kai x Frau. Why does the childhood friend always have to get the guy? *sigh* |
