That was a pretty nice episode overall, if you're a fan of Daru and Suzuha. I'm still waiting for the plot to kick into gear though, which might happen next episode based on the ending and Suzuha saying earlier she only has a week left.

Although this Suzuha is rougher around the edges compared to Alpha Suzuha, she's still pretty endearing.

[AC-Phoenix]

Yuki totally knew, didn't she?

[MCAL]

Honestly at this point (And only if it sticks the landing in the end), the anime has potential to be much better then the VN. Really liking all the anime original material (along with some canon side story stuff) being used to fill in the blanks.

[4th Dimension]

Yeah. This was a nice episode. Still light on major plot threads progresstion. But it does seem Rintaro is starting to prioritize his future and Professor over his friends what with blowing them off multiple times this episode.

It's TOOOTALLY not going to come back and bite them on the ass at the worst time.

Doubt it. To know someone is from the future means to believe that time travel is actually real. Who would believe that without seeing it?

It would go beyond most people's suspension of disbelief to think she knows.


Does she have some inexplicable empathy towards her? Hell yeah, that's happening a lot in this universe, like what happened with Mayushii and Kagari.

[Kanon]

If she knew time travel exists, it would be one thing, but she's completely out of the loop. Even if she has amazing intuition, there's no way she can possibly figure out Suzuha is her daughter from the future.

[FlareKnight]

Yeah there's no way she could read into the situation that deeply. Now it would click together rather quickly if they bring her into the circle and reveal the time traveling business. But yeah Yuki's just being a great person.

Seems pretty set for a big showdown with Suzuha and Kagari. And Okabe is still going down a less than great path. It's going to be rather hopeless at the rate things are going.

[Wandering Soul]

Even though this episode was light on plot, I liked it. Gave some development for characters that haven't gotten a lot during this series, Maho rejoined the main cast, and we even have some upcoming developments such as Kagari's return and Okabe slowly pushing away his friends

You can argue whether its a 'less than great' path.
Both times Mayuri called, Okabe basically had a job interview with Leskinen.

Unless you want to imply Okabe might have helped brain washing Kagari in the future...
And while that sort of development might be actually kinda cool (and ironic) I doubt its going to happen.

The machine Maho used to give treatment to Daru... Isn't it the one used to brainwash Kagri in the future?

Agreed, I wouldn't call what he did distancing himself from his friends since both times he did actually have something important to do.

I'm fairly sure it's just some of the tech they've been using at the brain science lab. Also it didn't actually do anything.
