- Does Kaito only think about the Kill Ballad game?
- At least, Aki is into it and she is so awesome.
- Yeah, you need to listen to her and take care of Akiho… and help her.
- Well, at least Kaito does little things to help her. I still hope he would have a more helping attitude.
- The robot is revived!
- The Elephant Mouse sybdrome… Ok…
- Kaito will be the operator.
- And Aki is on fire again!

Aki is so fantastic!

Episode 3:

- We jumped to the match faster than I expected. Figured there would be an episode between where the controls got reprogrammed and all, but it was done off camera.
- Now we're at the finals. Okay then.
- Ahaha did not expect this to be Subaru's masked personality.
- Aki's condition speeds up time. Kaito's slows it down? His is definitely more useful.

- Mmm, Frau. <3
- lol blackmail.

And here comes Frau, or rather Kona, and she is quite a different person than expected. She just moved in, and is speaking using chat room language. While the robotics club did win the prize money, none of it will be coming until next year. And then the secret is out about Kai and Aki: They were infected with some disease while on a ferry on the 9th anniversary of 9/11. It seems like Aki's world has sped up while Kai's has slowed down. And then Airi makes her appearance in Kai's tablet.

Another great episode here, and that Frau girl is a rather interesting person seeing how the creator of this game is not an adult guy, but a girl still going to high school. And now I can see why Kai is so good at Kill Ballad as it appears that his brain is accelerating, or something like that. And of course, there is the appearance of someone who looks like a younger version of Belldandy that sets the stage for more great things in the coming episodes.

We know some more about Daitoku, who is into karate and Kai is getting her to join the club. And then Airi finally shows up as she is an AI, and Kai is the only person able to sense her appearance. After meeting her, Kai stumbles upon something that turns out to be a huge cover-up job by NASA. The sun is on the verge of exploding, yet none of that information is public knowledge.

After the first four episode focuses on robots, this one is the start of a huge conspiracy, much like what Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate are all about. And seeing the young Belldandy as the AI finally making an appearance is also great. It's the start of something that should be great.

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.

Kai is so strange. He seems so lackadaisical, but at the same time he cares about stuff outside of Kill Ballad as seen in this episode. But, he doesn't care about the robot club or robots really.

The second half is a little more interesting due to conspiracies and the mysterious girl showing up who's an AI (voiced by Kugyuu~). I died a little hearing her say the words "onii-chan." I want a Kugyuu~ who'll call me onii-chan...haha.

Anywho...learning about Sister Centipede was a little strange until the end where there seem to be a possible correlation due to her being an info collector. I do find it weird that he was able to access some strange, secret document that talks about a NASA coverup. But, that name...Kimijima means something since the store clerk was surprised at it.

This is starting to get interesting, but I have to wonder how the conspiracy will tie into robots.

[FUNiOP]

It feels like a lot was accomplished in this episode, but really, it’s only the very beginning. It only feels that way because of how relatively insignificant everything before this point has been. This is definitely where the story is making its real stand, and I’m glad for what that may bring. I’m still a little worried that the foundation for that to be properly compelling hasn’t been established firmly enough, but I can’t really say how it will be when the real plot has only just began to surface.

[HitokiriShadow]

It was nice to spend a good amount of time with Junna in this episode. I like her a lot.

And we get our conspiracy plot. This one involves NASA.

[Damius]

- It’s time for the tournament.
- It’s nice to see Kaito doing something finally.
- So he can see in slow motion… It gives him the chance to do the Tanegashi Accel Impact.
- But, in the end they lost.
- Frau, only a second was needed to know she will be amazing.
- The club won’t be disbanded… blackmail!
- JAXA… Maybe Hibito can help them.

[Fencedude]

First CERN and now NASA? lololol

So yeah, Airi's pretty cute, and it seems she's some sort of AI.

And the sun is going to explode!
