My enjoyment of S;G has more to do with the carefully constructed plot, which actually works (admittedly with some minor hiccups) and the characters. Especialy Okarin is a unique protagonist and his romance with Kurisu was so well crafted that in the end I was cheering for them to reunite.

So since the series has already ended, can anyone answer anything about the monopole? I mean it was Geji-nee that told the club about the monopole and where to find them which helps them build a robot that could move.. but wasn't Geji-nee under Kimijima Kou? Surely Kimijima won't want to lend a helping hand to anyone that could've disrupt his plans.

Kimijima: "Misa is gone! I'm in control!"
Kai/Aki: "No you're not!" Kimijima: "Dammit!" [Next scene] Kimijima: "Now she's gone!" Kai/Aki: "No she's not!" Kimijima: "Damn!" ...Sigh. I guess I can say I enjoyed R;N as a whole. It's an okay show but had many things (some stupid) that hindered my overall enjoyment. Frau is the only character that I actually cared about to a certain degree and her arc was the only one I really liked. Kai too but I'm still not sure how much of it was simply because I love hearing Ryohei Kimura speak. Robotics;Notes definitely is the least memorable of the Science Adventure Series though. In terms of characters, story, setting, everything. |

I'm so frustrated with this series.
I LOVED it in its first half. It was solid. For something that promised to be "kids saving the world through geekiness", it sure felt subdued. Every character had quirks but they were mostly realistically acted (especially our lead). The overarching plot was interesting too but I love that the focus wasn't on that. They really made an amazing buildup here. It's just that . . . WHY DID IT HAVE TO CRASH AND BURN? Eventually it turned into a huge cheesy epic "save the world through robots" that just didn't work for this series. I am forever annoyed. The characters did not deserve a crappy ending like this. I'd like to say I still like the series even then but damn I really don't feel like it. Part of my frustration is that I even liked this more than Psycho Pass at points. But while P-P remained consistent all throughout, R;N just -- ugh. I feel bad and annoyed. I wanted to be that person to justify that "NO Robotics;Notes isn't bad" but now even I can't do it. It was being unfairly compared to Steins;Gate in the beginning but now it's just terrible in its own merits.

Only answer I've found was "read the fucking VN", which is not very helpful. And it doesn't make the adaptation any less bad for leaving that out completely. Monopoles' existence hasn't even been proven and yet a ton of them were raining from the sky in this show. You'd think they would at least attempt to provide an explanation for that.

Even if that's somewhat close to the Kimijima's motivation, though, I have no idea where the monopoles actually come from. Also, I'd think that, if they revealed that the robot was running with a monopole motor, that might eclipse the robot aspect, no? It feels a bit silly: monopole discovery not shared, but used in secret to build a giant robot. Yay. |

Overall I enjoyed the last arc of the show. Episode 23 was kind of sweet. Though the astronaut ending was a little...... meh? Now contemplating on reading either the VN or LN. The SF parts do leave much to be desired, but if I'm reading it, I guess it's more for the characters, which I hope are more developed than what's depicted in the anime.

Spoiler for VN spoilers:
There are more I want to say. The original material is still decent. It just got fucked up by Hanada's hand of god awful. |
