Raws of the last 2 episodes are out. I think this'd make an interesting video game. With Higgins' base being a dungeon. The other Lacia units are sub-bosses with Higgins being the final boss. Lol at Lacia telling Arato she'd tell Higgins they were in a relationship. this whole thing is like an RPG version of meeting your father-in-law.

Spoiler for Final Stage EP 2 Commtns/Feedback:

Marriage took them out very quickly, bad move going after Erica.

Good thing Lacia is able to use all those tricks to evade Methode for a while, she is too hard to fight 1 on 1.

Though I am also very concerned about Snowdrop once she is able to rebuild herself she can cause all kinds of chaos.

Saved by the time limit, for now at least, more trouble incoming.

Oh wow, look at what Snowdrop has become, she looks like a real monster now, though I am curious to see her in battle now to see what she is truly capable of.

I was thinking the same when snowdrop appeared, was such like an RPG, not much different Xenoblade(heck beatless was like the story takahashi never wrote)

So Yuka was a robot all along? That is massive....

I knew boy meets girl was to be the final chapter title.

I loved Erica,'I already have my robowaifu, why should meddle now' and how arato asked it as both wanted the same goal

Snowdrop is still active? and she is persistent the girl, that looks creepy like a monster keep going on.

Woah the Ending, simple woah

For me the anime is 8.5/10, the production issues and some pacing issue forbid it give it a higher note but the series was interesting if you like the themes, a shame the studio got such issue, a nice and interesting series

Spoiler for Final Stage EP 3 Comments/Feedback:

Snowdrop has become a real monster, now she can even regenerate almost instantly.

Well that made things easier for them, the update service shut down just about every robot out there, either way Snowdrop is now out of the picture, good riddance to her.

Alright Methode has now been destroyed, a nice secret weapon there with that sword to finish her off.

Those were indeed heavy losses sustained, Lacia lost part of her body and can't use much more power and Arato got hurt a bit, things don't look so good but they are still going to try their best to complete their mission.

Spoiler for Final Stage 4 & Series Score:

Oh no Snowdrop is back in action and took over Methode, I thought they were both done for last time.

Damn, Lacia didn't make it, that weapon she left for Arato should be useful.

Well I definitely didn't expect that to happen with all those Kouka's, to think they all had a mind of their own like that, either way whatever works.

They finally got the result they wanted and shut down Snowdrop in the process, she looked like a caterpillar or something similar in that form, still as dangerous as ever.

Lacia return at the end, happy endings for everyone.

Decent series with a lot of starting and stopping 7/10.

How come that Lacia has memory of it's previous body? didn't she mentioned that all her info will be erased once she's dead?.

Lacia foresaw her death and prepared a custom hIE with her appearance and programmed it with her memory of Arato and behavior. This hIE is not a red box like she was. So it’s more like a doll in her image made to talk and act like her, but isn’t really her.

I never played much resident evil, but conceptually Snowdrop is more skynet.

what's the difference between the ending of the anime and the novel ?

The biggest difference is Lacia's revival.
Anime: Boy Meets Girl
Novel: Image and Life

Lacia tells Arato she is the uso tool to protect Arato. She implies that she fabricates her dying story before gone inoperational, and other AI are convinced.



p.s. My feeling is that the story hasn't explained everything.
The story is missing story about Eliza. When Arato was young, he visited the factory and met the AI politician Eliza. Later, he told his classmate, because of beautiful Eliza, he was going to marry an AI like her. Eliza gave Arato warning before she got blown up. To memorize her, Higgins customize built a Eliza action figure, called Astraia. In anime, Arato convinced Lacia to take Astraia under her possession. Maybe Astraia is still active, as that oil tycoon's AI maid.
