I was taken aback when we saw them they're so... blue

I'm really curious how Mamoru's jaunt through the 1980s is going to go; I'm guessing he's going to end up around 1987 or 1989 or so.

*Mamoru timetravels*
Whaaaat? I cannot predict this anime. And he's going so far back in time too



Random notes of the week:
This week's end card is.... literally no one.

They just got some gacha game company to draw one of the characters

On the other side, CRAFTWORK's first game in 20 years is about to be released next week+

Since their previous game bombed (for obvious reasons), they didn't have money to make anything, but a few years back, Sayonara wo Oshiete was re-released for modern systems (though I think there were censored parts) and now that it is a cult classic, it didn't do too bad and they got some money, so they decided to make a new game

Thanks for the bakstory

I was half expeting for her to say "Oh my god, it is full of layers!"

My bet is that he is going to do what everybody else thought Konoha should have done, get some money, invest in whatever will be hot in ten years and mail himself the keys to said money for him to pick up in the future.

I was surprised they play a part of Madoka Magica's op song, makes me wonder if things are going to get darker, we still do not know what is the deal with Konoha's "apprentice", the op makes her seem like the antgnonist but it could be a red herring.

p.s. nice drawing:

One more quick note, but there are a couple or few infamous bank bankruptcies around this time period. Hashimoto's previous job likely is a reference to one of these

These twists are really getting me in my seat, you can't predict anything here lol.

A wild Thexder reference... and all those Walkman!! Pretty surreal episode otherwise... from the flying saucer patches one would assume the Echoes are aliens of some kind, though Mamoru didn't seem too interested in that aspect.

[grecefar]

he went back to his ideal time for computers, met some aliens and woke their imagination.

quite the chapter, at least he went back to his time without missing anything.

[Kanon]

I was not expecting aliens to be behind everything, but it works. The episode took a really trippy turn near the end. I actually don't get why Echo 1 and 2 understood imagination all of a sudden.

[serenade_beta]

Daaaang, we getting some YU-NO vibes here. Good stuff, but not sure how this will all play in in the end.

Also sadly, not sure the current Akihabara can be considered "full of imagination"
Even Tora no Ana is gone

Echo 2 is because she wore the same outfit but was given different points each time
Echo 1... I think because of the game covers? Not too sure on this one

[Alchemist007]

Wacky ep starring John Titor.

[Kanon]

Spoiler for 9:

As expected, bishoujo games died as a result of Konoha using future knowledge and tech to make her game. That said, I didn't think Akiba as a whole would be completely stripped of its "otakuness". She fucked up big time.

Thankfully, she still has one game left, "Comic Party" which was released only a few days before Kanon. My guess is that she'll have to convince Mamoru not to let her go through with her game. Without Mamoru's contribution, she can't possibly make it anyway.

Oh and hey, Oji-san Mamoru, finally.

[grecefar]

so mamoru and pc-98 conquered the world, I didn't see that coming.

[serenade_beta]

I can never tell what is going to happen

Oh, and definitely the best animation quality for a while. Like super stable

[grecefar]

it wasn't a bad future, in fact it was a improvement more or less but I understand konoha feelings too. If everything goes well they can bring the best of the two worlds.

An improvement?! How can you save that after seeing what FGO is like now?!

Screw self-driving cars, give me back my cute waifus!

[stray]

Fate Gears of Order lol... convenient that Ayako Kawasumi is already there for a quick cameo as all American Saber. Still no uguu though...

I assume this is now Toya's time to shine.

[serenade_beta]

Lol, I thought I was a sarcastic guy. This anime is like daggers!
"Alicesoft is the last anime in Japan still making eroge!"
I doubt this anime was written 5 years ago or something, so they know what they are doing

Anyways, the end card this week
https://twitter.com/16bit_anime/stat...29188593025114
is drawn by Nadeara Bukichi
He is famously known, even to this day and brought up when talking about old CGs, on his beautiful and erotic evening background CGs for Star Platinum, in 16bit coloring no less!
This is why the end card is likely drawn in a similar manner

BTW, no, this is not a Jojo reference. There is a game called Star Platinum. Go search and take a look yourself.

The funny (or maybe not so funny) thing is that this isn't really an unbelievable future. I mean, the Akihabara thing, not the America thing. Even Tora no Ana has left Akihabara and their remaining store is in Ikebukuro.

Bishoujo culture entrusted to America -> Immediate ruination

I guess everyone agrees that's how it would go down

I agree, have USA getting bishoujo is a dystopia.

I definitely did not have social commentary on AI art on my bingo card. We're somewhere between BTTF2 and the Matrix -- I'm guessing that feeding creatives into the bacta tank or whatever is what (un)stable diffusion runs on. People battery logic.
