Just finished watching it (Wakanim's simulcast is useful for this one, subs ahead of everyone

).

Things are finally starting to happen, the mystery is revealing itself. It's not gonna be as boring from now on

.

Spoiler for episode 5 -:

On another note, could be cool to rename the S;G forum as "Science;Adventure Trilogy" *Yup, just dropping an hint/idea for the staff

Ghanw · 2012-11-08, 16:35

From this point on the mystery will unravel and will get interesting and a bit scary too.

Spoiler for episode 5:

RegalStar · 2012-11-08, 23:06

The world can't have a research organization without hidden agendas any more. Oh well, the plot indeed seems to be unravelling now, and I'm very interested in seeing where it will lead.

leokiko · 2012-11-08, 23:21

Interesting episode. Fun seeing Aki putting on the glasses to hide her embarassment(I like her a lot xD), and lol, the group isn't even close to being truly "together" yet and there's already an conspiracy theory revolving around Jaxa.

Hoping to see Frau again soon. Anyway, cool stuff and nice cliffhanger as well!

Looking foward to next week.

Password strength hasn't improved much as of 2019. I guess we don't know when the file was hidden, but I most definitely wasn't seeing those kinds of locks around 2009.

"hiddenhand" lol.

creb · 2012-11-08, 23:55

As much as I'm enjoying this, I'm wondering if I should go marathon Chaos;Head.

Anyways, I'm really liking the improved pacing of Robotics;Notes over Steins;Gate.

jte742 · 2012-11-09, 00:45

Good episode. Not enough Aki though.

They're really stringing us along - showing the backstory behind all the strange things that happened, bit by bit. Can't wait for the next episode. God I hate cliffhangers...

Aaaand...here we go! Lol. Kai is pretty fearless. The AI is a nice character, and her discovery was great. With all the talk of attempted contact, I started thinking of aliens, but apparently not. Daitoku was well done: just mousy enough, not too much. The Subaru comic relief I could have done without, and the whole interview thing. But I agree: not enough Aki (i.e., Nanjou Yoshino). And not enough Frau. Nice cliffhanger to find out who the guy was (her deceased boyfriend?).

I'm certainly glad to get a bit more detail on why Japan is seeing the aurora, though how the monopoles work into it I'm not sure: maybe having enough of them around would tear the sun apart somehow? I'm not sure if there is any real science here, or just magic words.

To be honest, I think this meme of research organizations having hidden agendas is both wrong and bad for our culture. But it sure is fun.

Yes.

What exactly is the point of a minimum character length post anyways?

Julio C · 2012-11-09, 03:32

So how was Kimijima been able to accurately predict the solar flares? What did it meant about the Sun exploding, exploding as in unleashing sun flares or actually blowing up?

Benigmatica · 2012-11-09, 07:13

Wow, talk about the end of the world by having the Sun blow up on Episode 5.

So I guess this anime doesn't talk about robots anymore, but conspiracies!

Jan-Poo · 2012-11-09, 08:05

Strange episode. I wonder how all of these facts we are shown are tied together.

It seems like there's really a lot going on around these apparently average characters living in a god-forsaken island.

The drugstore lady, for example, who the hell is she exactly?

Anyway in the first episode it was hinted that the robot club will try to save the world using gunvarell, now we learn that the world is being threatened by solar flares.
How exactly a giant robot is supposed to help with that?
The plot thickens...

Yeah, you really should marathon... Chaos;Head VN

Or maybe just wait for a BD-BOX (2012.11.21 is the date of release) and watch this piece of adaptation decay.

Breimoon · 2012-11-09, 09:48

they fly in the space and shoot the sun's flares xD just kidding.

Midonin · 2012-11-09, 12:43

R;N 05 - Big Shooter, Faster Than The Wind! Build Up!

So Airi's story begins in 2008. I'm sure it's no coincidence that's the year Chaos;Head was released, and the year it took place most likely. Everyone's been so focused on Steins;Gate, that I feel the first entry in the series is kinda being overlooked. Its anime adaptation wasn't quite as polished, but it's still an entry in the series, and its main mystery phrase was the first thing Airi said upon entry. I do like seeing Junna getting more screentime, mostly because of her voice actress, and I wonder what it's going to take to get her to join the robot club. She seems pretty hesitant about doing so.

One of my favorite parts of the episode was the banter between Akiho and Mr. Pleiades. When you get two people with their energy and quirks in a room, something is bound to happen. If they worked together on something, they'd be near unstoppable! Having some of the mysteries of the world get revealed is pretty cool. Time travel mishaps are easy to stop when you have direct control of a time machine, but the sun? Unless GunBuild-1 can find a Pilder, I think this one may require a bit more of a miracle. But making miracles from science is what this is all about.

ookamigirl · 2012-11-09, 13:49

Ghost in a machine.
Kaito certainly got interested in it.
So he ditched club activities to go ghost hunting.
His Airi ghost girl turned out to be Sister Centipede.
Secret files and Kimijima Report.... smells like danger.
Looks like Kai stumbled into something very interesting.

GoddyofAus · 2012-11-09, 14:38

I know NASA was mentioned, but this whole sinister cover up has CERN written all over it. Since it's already confirmed Nae will turn up at some point, I reckon CERN is going to end up having a big role in this.

You mixed up some things, Nae have nothing to do with CERN in this timeline. And I don't really see them reusing CERN.
In fact some promo scans show her working at

Spoiler for Nae:

Things are finally starting to happen, the mystery is revealing itself. It's not gonna be as boring from now on . Spoiler for episode 5 -: The episode talk about: -Some very abnormal weather in the world and sea creatures dying near the Island -Finally we meet Geiji/Airi an Interface/AI running on IRUO's servers (One is the interface the other is the AI I think) -HiddenHand ? :3 -Kô Kimijima report N°1 was wrote in 2009 (Anime is in 2019), -The NASA (well after the cern, I saw that one coming)hiding a truth about monopoles discovered by the kimishima guy in 2000 in Antarctica -Then it switch to talking about explosions in the sun with new scheduled for: 2012, 2015, 2019 and 2020. They would start solars eruptions powerful enough to have an influence on Earth. -The red Aurora is here since 2012 because of a Solar Eruption(Boat incident was in 2010 for the records) -In 2015, another eruption happened, computers crashed massively everywhere (2015's Crash). The Shopkeeper Legs issue seem to be linked to this. -The Shopkeeper shat a massive brick when Kai said the name of "Kô Kimijima" just before the end. -The mysterious organization guy noticed something was off with Kai, and Aki's sister told him he is a survivor of the Anemone Incident.

Kanon Kana Hanazawa ♥ Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: France Age: 37	Spoiler for episode 5: This is starting to get very interesting. We learned quite a few things about the backdrop of the anime. It appears several parts of the world are affected by unusual weather conditions, and nobody knows why. Obviously, this is going to be very important. I'm glad to see Kai finally gain an interest in something. He's a lot more interesting to watch when he is motivated. He finally managed to make contact with the mysterious girl, who turned out to be an AI/interface from IRUO, the image recognition application installed on his tablet (so this explains why she can appear through it). In doing so, he uncovered the first of many mysteries. Seems like NASA is the bad guy this time, not unlike CERN in Steins;gate. They are withholding crucial informations from the public, in this case the existence of magnetic monopoles and that multiples solar flares have been messing up earth (not sure how the two are related, wikipedia article on magnetic monopoles hurt my brain; I need a Kurisu to explain to me what it entails). It seems like the incident on the Anemone might be related to this, but I'm not sure how. In any case, riveting stuff. Suddenly, worldwide conspiracies and the end of the days. And we're only five episodes in. __________________
