AICO likely designed as standalone story from the start. Not that it stops people from trying to make sequels (ex Gargantia was supposed to have S2, but that got cancelled afterwards. Planned S2 story got novelized instead.) Last edited by zztop; 2018-03-12 at 21:05. |

^Gargantia can be expanded easily coz the scale is literally universe
AICO's entire plot is about Matter and that's solved already Wished Yura romance coz he's adult in kid's body and that would be kinky You don't know that

He got lucky she forgave him, but I don't think there's any romantic future waiting for them.

That helmet is similar to the one that was used to monitor AICO. She's the new guinea pig getting her backup bodies tuned.
The guy was crying and almost hysterical when he thought she died. And nothing says possible romance like 2 people touching hands together as one of them is about to be put under anesthesia. He's also saying that he's going to make a world for her to fit in and taking responsibility for her. This is screaming "couple status" for those 2.

I decided to avoid this thread until I finished the series due to seeing a lot of posts here with no spoiler tags. Overall, it was a good series. There were some definite flaws, particular the amount of cramming and the lacklustre world building and how predictable everything was, but it was refreshing to actually have characters act like mature adults and focus on what’s important to them. Could've done with more princess carrying too.

Actually that brings to mind something else I noticed. The government does not seem to really know anything about what is going on or why. They seem to have left the cell things as trade secrets of the companies involved and not even made any real attempt to figure out how to stop it. It's like they had just been siting around on their thumbs for two years waiting to do the first week stuff so it would not interfere with the plot of the show. As for Nanbara she was always on the make Japan wealthy(powerful) no matter the cost side. She just decided our plucky team of heroes was her best bet after the hospital leadership abandoned her protect the data regardless of the cost in human lives plan. |

Also there's that plot hole
The anime keeps doubling down on stating that Matter needs water to propagate That's why it grows tracing the river And when it reaches the ocean, the world will basically end But ocean is freaking salt water Wouldn't it die instead?

Yura's solution basically saved all the samples that can be used again without much time delay and loss of money to Japan. Not even leaked data. There was another private company involved who threatened to pull out of Japan if they torched the Matter. That company could restart the program and make a mistake. Or....military application of Matter could run amok. Then our plucky diver team plus AICO, Dr. Yura and the other scientist would be called in/forced to do the cleanup.

A big plot hole: Why bother traveling through the river valley? Their gear looks plenty capable to go up the mountain from the other side. They tried to hand wave it by saying the left and right underground pipes are blocked by Matter but that excuse doesn't really work for the back of the mountain range. Every time they show the map it bugs me.

But it's too little to late, considering who much an asshole he was before he had his "change of heart." Anyway, my point stands. He was lucky she forgave him, but expecting more than that is delusional.
