| Holy shit. As crazy as your theory sounds at first, it's also seems very plausible :o Then again, I'm not good with thinking critically, so at this point, I think anything is possible. Still if your theory were to be true, it would be a nice twist. This would also make sense since "Gen Urobuchi explained on the official website that the message of the story is aimed towards those in their teens and 20s, who are either about to enter into society or recently have, and is meant to cheer them on and to encourage them that "going out into the world isn't scary". He also said that the feeling of this work will be different from others he's been involved with." [Although taken from Wikipedia, I asked my Japanese friend to confirm if this was really from the interview on the official site, and it's true] I'm actually really hoping that your theory is correct, because now I'm expecting some great ending like your scenario. It would also explain the fact that episode 5 is in fact not merely a fanservice episode, but has a significance to it as part of something Ledo should experience to learn about life. A lot of people thought episode 5 was unnecessary, but it would be nice to know that it's there for a purpose. |
| If you theory is correct, this show is a masterpiece because it makes sense and it would be one hell of a plot twist. |

| I like the theory, would be very entertaining if it heads in that direction. |
| Sounds like typical Gen. There's a huge chance that this might actually turn out to be true :D It would explain everything which happened so far.. Though... |

Though... yes indeed! torture of feelings as next ep preview, Amy dress up like bride or something like that. If everything we watch till ep5 is illusion...man, is this matrix or what? totally control the brain and mind! |

| That theory makes sense but I hope you're wrong Takuan, I see those type of plot twists in almost every new movies that I'm watching, and I'm just getting tired of it. |
| This theory is indeed funny, but I don't expect something like that to happen. |
| All hail the Nutcracker Queen! |
Takuan_Soho said: I have no spoilers, but I have a theory of this show I would like to discuss without "spoiling" what I think may be going on for people who would care. The battle in the first episode displayed a sharp contrast between Galactic Empire of Humankind and Hideauze. The humans were shown to be more mechanical using machine-like weapons while Hideauze looked more biological and so did their weapons. Why would they put in the effort to make the Hideazue look more biological if they were just a program drone? |
| I kinda hope something like this happen now. I kinda think that the war is real, but if all the Gargantia is a fake it's enough. |

| The usual "oh it is all imagination/fantasy" revelation... Now I even see someone went to great length to show this is the case even in the SoL anime Yuyushiki... Isn't it popular these days? |
| 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. |
| I really hope that's what happens. I really hope that something happens, because I have the feeling it'll stay its "waterworld slice of life" up to the final episode, where they hint at another season or something. They better not. |
Takuan_Soho said: Not saying there is anything wrong, but just can't help being intrigued by seeing this "everything is just in your imagination" speculation coming up for 2 shows in the same season that are widely different, and in the space of just a few days. Don't you think such coincidence would naturally prompt thought of popularity even though it may not be really the case in fact?Two examples don't make something popular. And if it doesn't contradict anything that has been shown, then what exactly is wrong with it? Takuan_Soho said: I said "imagination/fantasy", your theory is basically that things we are seeing are in Ledo's imagination, so I don't see how what I said does not match what you are proposing. And if my theory is accurate, it would not be a "fantasy". The things would actually be happening to him and what is happening would have a profound impact on who he is going forward. That is far from being a "fantasy". |

Takuan_Soho said: Complain? Did I sound like complaining? I saw two similar speculations coming up within a few days of each other and for two very different shows, both of them in the same season. How likely it is for it to come up compared to seeing two idol shows in one season? And if it is really that likely, then shouldn't it be an indication that this kind of thinking indeed holds some popularity? "Naturally". LOL, no that is a troll thing to do. It would be like going on Love Life and complaining about it because we just had another idol show the previous season. Shows and theories stand or fall on their own merit, not because they were released around the same time. Takuan_Soho said: I don't deny that, but as I said, these all could be placed under "everything you see is not real" line of thinking, and so there is certain similarity there. Because there is a somewhat huge difference between someone spontaneously dreaming something independently and someone reacting to external stimulus provided by a third party. Takuan_Soho said: I am not sure why you think I don't like your theory. Did I say whether I like it or not? I was just making an observation that I have read something a bit similar for another very different show this season. Are you reading too much in my post?But again, that has nothing to do with the theory I proposed. If you don't like then theory in general then no one is forcing you to either read or respond. If you don't like the theory how about saying something specific about it? Otherwise no harm is being done so why do you care? |

| It's an interesting theory... but I would be pretty pissed if it turned out to be the way they do it. Would make it all seem worthless at that point. |
| Let's go bowling. |
| lol this kind of theory/story is really influence by THE MATRIX Trilogy its Simulated Reality all over again Simulated reality is the hypothesis that reality could be simulated—for example by computer simulation—to a degree indistinguishable from "true" reality, and may in fact be such a simulation. It could contain conscious minds which may or may not be fully aware that they are living inside a simulation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulated_reality but if this theory proves to be true then its great since humanity's existence in the future maybe governed by computers and simulations anyway |
