Robotics;Notes Discussion Thread

-"Robots don't need faces." Bullcrap! "A robot's face is it's soul." Damn right Aki.
-It's raining more monopoles. That would have been nice to see in previous episodes. I thought they only had the one they cut in half.
-LASER! Lasers don't kill people, faulty laser operators kill people.
-It's alive... It's alive! GUNVARREL LIVES!
-Kicked out of the robot hangar.
-Junna is soft. Fact.
-Who's bright idea was it to move a very light robot in a heavy wind?
-Why would you stand next to an experimental robot while it's moving in heavy wind?
-Mister Pleiades is dead. Mismatch.
-56k DIAL UP NOISE! The most horrifying sound you can ever hear.
-Oh you gotta be kidding. Really? You going toward Chekov's hazard cones?
-Kai... DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF HER MOUTH!? Damn it boy how cluelessly stupid are you?
-Wow. You can actually see as his glacially slow thought process takes shape. It's like watching a monkey figure out how to get a banana out of a trick box. Only slower.
-SUPLEX! That only took like what 2 minutes for him to find the solution?
-Wait what? ... Oh bull fucking shit! That shouldn't even be physically possible with that harness design. Especially not with Kai's added weight on it.
-Um grab the chain right there. Use her jacket to tie her to it. Hang there kicking until the battery runs out. Find a fucking rope.
-. . . that is the unsafest safety chain ever invented.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullshiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
That does it. This show is too stupid. I'm not watching anymore.

- Gotta win a round of Kill Ballad to get to the bottom of this. Seems like no problem for Kai, but not when the opponent is cheating.
- So the one who hacked into Frau's account was blackmailed into doing so, and is running away to the Philippines.
- That opponent is proving to be difficult. Need to activate slo-mo to beat him.
- The police are after Frau. But the friends are there to the rescue.
- Slo-mo finally kicks in, and Kai finally wins. And the rogue robots are shut down.
- There must be love in the air after Frau was kissing Kai. We'll see about that.
- One week later, Frau joins the club.

Great episode here that shows just how helpful Kai is and how knowledgeable Frau is through this whole mess. It starts out being just a problem in Tokyo, but I am thinking that it becomes a much bigger problem later on. Nice to see that Frau came through in the end and has left her room to go to school.

- Those tablets are getting messed up badly by the storm.
- Kai has to surf. It's only for a few seconds, but it's harder than it looks.
- Time for Airi to return home for Christmas Eve.
- And into some abandoned home he goes, to meet the real Airi.
- So Airi was put in a deep sleep after getting an incurable illness.
- It's gonna be a white Christmas with a kiss. At least inside the tablet it is.
- Airi is gone for good, as it's Geji that's calling all the shots now.

Great episode here that focuses on Airi and where she came from. It's a sad story about everything that happened with her, but at least she was able to live somewhere and help out Kai before she rests in peace. Now, it's time to get back to the main story as the solar storms are starting to stir up a crisis that's coming.

Their club got disbanded.
Well, not wonder considering what happened to Subaru.
The worst was that they have to dismantle all their robots.
Aki took it the hardest of them all, but put on a brave face.
Kai vs Aki on Kill Ballad. I was nice since he probably let her win.
The dream of expo almost got extinguished, but luckily hope arrived at the last moment.
Seems like Kai unleashed Kimijima Reports all over the world unintentionally.

[Damius]

They just gave us an adorable Airi episode.... Originally she was an ill dying little girl... ;_; And now after a so adorable episode about her, we have to say Good Bye... ;_; Good Bye Airi. Thank you so much to Frau for the gift she gave her. Why do you have to go Airi... ;_; You will be miss.

- So Misaki is the one who gave Mizuka her artificial legs after an accident paralyzed her.
- The robot is complete. Now time for some testing.
- And some bad news. A rocket is about to be launched, and thus the club must leave the JAXA hangar.
- Everything is looking good, but Junna sees it walking crooked for some reason.
- While Subaru is checking out the robot, a sudden gust knocks it crashing onto him.
- Time to download the last report, but not before Mizuka stops him.
- There goes that Kagome Kagome ringtone, and Mizuka's legs have a mind of its own now.
- Not even knocking her down will stop Mizuka from walking off the cliff. Kai isn't going down with her.

Up until now, the situation became dire elsewhere with Kai and company trying to fix things from home, but now things are really getting serious now that Mizuka is dead and Subaru could be biting the dust as well. And then there is something in that report that seems to be trouble if Kai reads it. Just when things were looking up, now the situation has become really troubling.

- Subaru is in the hospital, and the club is no more.
- Download attempt #2, and Aki is stopped by somebody from Exoskeleton who seems to know everything.
- Protect the Kimijima reports at all costs. That's an order from Misaki.
- Aki can only be as good as mediocre. Seems like Misaki's words are ringing true.
- Kai is ready to throw in the towel, but Aki still has hope. Let's decide this through Kill Ballad.
- And Aki wins. In comes Doc to help with repairs and Mitchi to deliver the prize money.
- Download attempt #3. This time Kai goes through, and everybody around the world knows about them.

Everything that made Steins;Gate so intriguing is on full display with this episode here that starts off with a mood of total mourning for Mizuka, Subaru, and the club, as well as Aki's dream of going to the expo. Through this rough stretch, Aki is the only one who keeps her optimism and she finally gets through. And then there is something about that report that will cause trouble as it's not really a report, but a mechanism that makes the reports public, something that Misaki was trying to avoid at all costs. Looks like widespread chaos of some sort is about to ensue as a result. I am thinking that Mizuka was trying to tell that to Kai, but that was before that phone call that caused her legs to move on its own. Then there is that Sawada guy during Kai's second download attempt, and I am thinking that he is pulling the strings with some sort of conspiracy since news like the solar flares should have been made public years ago. All this sets up an intense story for the last five episodes.

[FUNiOP]

So Mizuka is dead and Subaru isn't. That's about what I expected. And now lots of other bad things are happening as a result. Which sucks and all, but it feels like they're getting more depressed about that than their friends dying and almost dying. Oh well, it's all bad shit.

But hey, he just said to download that, not install it. This doesn't seem fair.

Episode 15:

- Airi episode? Please be an Airi episode. She's been sorely lacking recently.
- Frau ♥ Airi. =D Airi cannot disappear. I won't allow it.
- Airi poking. So cute, but Geji-nee is MIA.
- And now we find the real Airi. Hooray.
- Awwwwwwwwwwww, Frau sent Airi some digital snow for a Christmas present. Frau you are utterly adorable.
- Then she gets deleted. ;_; At least Geji-nee is still around, but Airi is the fun one.

Goddamn that was cute.

Episode 16:

- Uh, so the robot is done. Almost entirely off-screen, heh.
- Also monopoles coming down like rain. And lasers.
- ...So just how much money did it take to build this?
- AkiKonaNae, maybe don't stand directly in front of the giant robot tha could fall over and squish you at any second.
- Congrats kids, you built a giant robot. Now you need to move it somewhere else. And uh, do I don't know what with it.
- Aki poking Junna <3
- Report number 7...or not.

- Well I figured something bad would happen when Subaru decided to walk near the robot. But come on he had ages to get out of the way. A couple steps backward would have done it, the robot isn't that big.
- Speaking of idiots not moving when they should... Kai you fucking retard, Mizuka just said she needs help and can't stop the mechanical legs. Get over there and help her.
- Jeeze finally. Although of course the obvious solution (get her on her back) apparently didn't help. Thaaaaaat sure sounded like a spine breaking.
- Bye bye Mizuka. And maybe Mr. Pleiades.

Well at least they didn't kill Aki, Junna, or Frau (yet).
