It may not be as good as the game (which I still need to buy) and may have been cliched as hell but damn I loved Robotics;Notes the whole way through. Much like Steins;Gate, the anime made me go and buy them game which I then played through and it's not my favourite series of all time. Mages didn't dissapoint me again <3
Another major thing about people complaining about plot points, I see where you're coming from, but Robo anime in itself is just a massive pile of cliches and half the stuff doesn't make any sense, if it did, it wouldn't be science fiction anymore
