That went dark real quick.

This show gets crazier with every episode, and I love it. Shame it'll be over in two weeks. Definitely the dark horse of the season.

It's now quite likely Echo weren't aliens but just highly sophisticated androids who mastered time travel in the future.

things were complicated why add more troubles?, to be honest I don't like were this went in this chapter.

the only thing is that they were on point with AI.

serenade_beta · 2023-12-14, 02:49

Wow, didn't think they would add on to the plot with only 2 episodes left. I wonder where this will go

Natsurin · 2023-12-16, 10:33

Although I've been pretty amused at how much the series just completely goes in its own direction rather than just following eroge production like the manga inspiration (since clearly it's not an adaptation at this point), I'm wondering if they're not taking things a little too far...

grecefar · 2023-12-20, 20:05

nothing much to say, toya is useless and this just went more crazy.

one chapter left, let it be over already.

serenade_beta · 2023-12-20, 23:47

Yeah, despite so much that needs to be done, ep12 didn't really do much to the story, so still worried it will probably end
Episode 12 itself wasn't bad though. Just that the question of if they can actually properly end the story continues to float in the air

On a side note, the end card is drawn by the guy that did Princess Maker
To be honest, not much to say here compared to last time

I'm going to miss this show even if it did kind of coast into the ending. One of the nicest surprises of Fall, I'll call it 8.7/10

This is one of several shows I might have ranked at the top in any other season this year, but instead got bulldozed by their competition this season.

grecefar · 2023-12-27, 22:12

I did liked it but it went too crazy at the end, still I always love a happy ending.

7/10.

And for the final episode, we have good ol' Noiji and a reference to the legendary Nanatsuiro Drops

But I personally flapped to his Alice Parade

Kanon · 2023-12-28, 07:33

That was a fun show. I would have liked to know what Mamoru's instructions to his younger self to merge the timeline actually was, but I don't think there was any realistic way his plan would have worked so it's probably better it all happened off-screen. I also strongly suspect the letter was mostly about the PC-98, because in the final timeline, we see an ad for the newest PC-98!

Thought the same thing about Toya, she felt like a pointless character in the end. She kept changing off-screen and it never led anywhere. Also thought it was funny she was shocked Konoha still remembered their promise to make a game together given that it's only been a few days from Konoha's perspective

Konoha revealing her secret to the others because her appearance gave it away was also funny given that only the guys visibly aged, the girls all looked exactly the same as 20 years ago

mangamuscle · 2023-12-28, 12:19

Last episode gave me Charlotte vibes, in the sense that the story was clearly designed to continue in the past where we would likely see all the build up about Toya going somewhere. Didn't liked how it was announced Konoha was a time traveler and obviously the game the produced on the spot would change their world; in real life people would be shocked at the expectative the last 20+ years of their lives would get rewritten, especially if they are sucessful, a change in the timeline and you could end in a business with no future *coff* NFT *coff*

The show was great, really enjoyed the ride and all the references and topic it handled. It's rare to see such a good combination.

Alchemist007 · 2023-12-30, 19:23

While looking like a solid 8 for a bit, the last couple of eps decided to go ham with the story and take a rather odd yet dull path into the conclusion. I did enjoy the journey with the constant references and general intrigue of the story's direction.

7/10

Barstool74 · 2024-01-06, 08:00

Yeah was show was weird. I think it just shoulda have been set entirely in the '90s, all that matrix carp ruined the show for me. It felt like two different shows towards the end, becoming about the human spirit and inspiration. I think just a simple '90s sol about game creation would have a lot more fun. Or just start bringing in those themes earlier.

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for final thoughts: 9/10 I was worried how they were gonna finish the story, but well, it wasn't too bad. The end was actually pretty good and Mamoru setting up the welcome message was pretty sweet. Didn't make me cry, but it was a good moment. Below Migi and Dali on the emotional scale but 2nd place for this season However, I am gonna take one point off because while they did finish the story, as feared, it was rushed in ways. Sure, depicting the making and selling of another game would have been repetitive, but Touya was literally tossed aside as a character We never see her making games with Konoha, and the whole "I love toying with guys" thing never came to any effect on the story (while you can say that was why the blonde guy was blackmailing her, it's pretty weak) Also the OP singer sucks But the ED is really good, 'cause KOTOKO Also, while it is nice they used a lot of real references, it's also ironic that companies like Alicesoft and Aquaplus cooperated with this anime, since this anime praises creators/developers, which is kinda... You know? The last thing they are right now? https://twitter.com/16bit_anime/stat...39333761953901 And for the final episode, we have good ol' Noiji and a reference to the legendary Nanatsuiro Drops But I personally flapped to his Alice Parade __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P.
