Robotics; Notes 16 — Everyone is Murdered by Gravity

Ok, so stuff actually happened this episode… but I can’t bring myself to care. Two weeks ago I decided I would accept Robotics; Notes as it is, a harem love comedy, and now it has abandoned that too and decided to be tragic. It does it better than Key, but that isn’t saying much. Now I just want to see more of Akiho and Frau fighting over Kaito. Continue reading Robotics; Notes 16 — Everyone is Murdered by Gravity

Episode 12 was painful. Drama and feelings are one thing. But all this crying over being friends with a robot that has the intelligence of a tape recorder? Give me a break. This is like having a dresser fall on you and retaining a chronic fear of dressers ten years later.

In episode 13, it finally appears that stuff is going to happen. Hidden messages in anime episodes, power outages, fires, a robot rebellion? This is the kind of thing I can get behind. Now why didn’t we have this twelve episodes ago?
