Unprecedented Turn of Events

Just when I thought Robotics;Notes was all about High School Students building their own giant robot and stumping into some secrets about the eradication of human beings and the revolution of robots in the country, the latest episode literally turned the tables around - to the point that I don't really believe that whatever I had just watched was the same anime as the past few episodes.

Sure did the Kimijima Reports bring up quite a few high tension moments here and there, and Mizuka's death was indeed saddening. But with the main question of "What exactly happened in the SS Anemone" being answered, I am finally seeing where the series is headed, and it really is something big and serious at the same time. I a indeed shocked by the fact that how much the tone of the series has changed. Depending on how the Robot Fair was going all well, until this came. Apparently a show with just normal robots had suddenly spawned missiles, robot destroying robots, a fake solar flare, human experimentation and transferring a human mind into software itself. Little did I expect too that Kimijima Kou was still alive, only that he is now a "software" in that sense, "living" in the network world after most possibly experimenting on Airi before. And all those reports were leaked by him from the network itself, mainly the Iru-O and that Misaki has now turned into a terrorist or some sort, working under the Committee of 300 and wrecking havoc with the new spider like robot: SUMERAGI. What came more serious was the ultimate goal of generating a huge solar flare that will most probably create illusions in the "real" world through the use of Iru-O technology that everyone is depending upon now.

What comes as a even more shocking point was Tennouji Nae's change in personality. I didn't expect her to play a huge role in this series even as she bears the same name in Steins;Gate, but in fact, she does. And she single-handedly disarms intruders to Frau's house and that makes me wonder who is she exactly. Does this story has any connection at all to Steins;Gate? And what about S. Braun that they were talking about? That's some huge Steins;Gate reference and I am really looking forward to how they progress the story after this. It was a fast paced episode and a little rushed in that, but so far it has been good.

Shin Sekai Yori has now finally, linked back to the ancient civilization, which is the time in which we are in now. And that since death feedback exist, the only way to kill the fiend would be to use ancient weapons, which were weapons of our time now. I was initally thinking about ballistic weapons or some sort, but since Cantus would dispel that rather easily, I reckon that it wasn't that easy, until they mentioned a biological weapon. Now that, would be something rather easy to use on the fiend, but finding it wouldn't kill Saki and Satoru as well? *death flag alert*

Seems like Yakomaru are following them as well as they continue to search for that weapon of mass destruction. And it does show that the past humans have attempted to eradicate the Cantus users as well but they have truimped instead which makes me more interested in the way that won against the biological weapon and furthermore, the similarity of the Queerat's rebellion on the Cantus users as the same as the ancient civilization.

Not a bad series, would really hope that the novel would be localized though, would appreciate the full work of the author since some information was left out in animation too.

And with the above linked, the Spring 2013 schedule almost fully out. 

New series that actually do seem promising are:

Shingeki no Kyojin



The music is totally cool, concept wise is interesting, and the way the dude carries out his attack, mecha-style? Just totally cool.

Kakumeiki Valvrave



Another Sunrise production. Looks good too.

And of course........

Hayate no Gotoku's another season (lost count of this already) and To Aru Kagaku no Railgun 2nd season.

Much more looking forward to the latter one, better storyline and looking forward to see more Level 5s.

The next season is gonna be great! :D
