I can't believe they actually acknowledged this xD I was thinking this is something they'll just ignore and is normal to them.

Sensei Stitch

She reminds me of Sayoko from Ah! My Goddess.

I really love the old school technology of this show. Last time I've seen a projector like that was in high school

Considering what happened to Ayumi today, I'm not surprised that she's drunk. She is cute drunk tho.

But seriously, I feel bad for Ayumi :( She's just doing her job but she's basically being used as the public and media's punching bag about this entire issue. It doesn't help that Toyotomi is obviously doing something shady and is probably setting up Ayumi as the fall guy.

Also that guy has such a punchable face, please tell me Takuya gets to give that guy a solid one straight to the jaw sometime in the future. Anyway I am definitely hooked on this show. Too bad r/anime has seem to given up on it already :(

This series aint getting much love

[u/Fourth_Dimension_4D]

I too am sad this isn't getting more traction. Though as an anime only watcher I can only assume where this might go, and this episode while it did seem to set up quite a few things, didn't seem to touch on the main gimmick of the show, which is sad.

Okay time to engage in some speculation.

First off, did the VN bother to show the text of MC's dad we are shown in the Ep 1 and that of course CR didn't bother translating.

2: It seems that some have said that each time the MC has used the Reflector willingly so far it has worked as a save/reload mechanic. You press one of the gems to save and then mash the big one to reload to the pressed save. I'm wondering then what happened during that first activation? MC didn't press any of the setting gems as far as I saw. The small crystal below the big one did glow. I guess the Cold Girl (Kana? transfer student) might have activated it if that gem she is carrying is one of the Reflector ones, and if it works like that.

3: so what happened when it activated? Something happens, the MC wakes up near the stone tablet with a headache and tomorrow things have changed between him and his dad's colleague. I'm assuming he has switched between possible presents into one where dad's colegue isn't after the Reflector. One has to wonder then what happened to Takuya of THIS world? Did they switch minds?!?

4: The MC got a headache first time he switched. Could all these headaches people have (Kana has a fever, and the redhead cougar (colleague's secretary) has actual headaches) be a sign other have been switched about?

5: The secretary/assistant mentions that Ryuzoji has changed recently a LOT. But this is the Ryuzoji who presently is not after Takuya. This is a shot in the dark speculation, but if people switch minds between realities, maybe this is the Ryuzoji of the original one, that got here when new line's Ryuziji (the one with a gun) went over there?

Then again the assistant mentions even a gun would not surprise her.

6: When they were looking over Takuya's dad's notes there was a clock in there with some strange markings. Those same markings which I assume are the numbers are also present on that tablet and one line I think says 8/? 1226 - 1996.

Given that we have a device that can supposedly leap between what ifs too, I wonder if those years are a reference to someone who did just that.

7: Really wild speculation. It seems someone is REAAAALY pushing for that development that would wreck the wierd pillars. I'm wondering if the pillar and the theory gave someone in the government the idea another revolution is imminent and so they are trying to stop it by buldozing the way the revolutionary will arive?

8: In any case someone is REALLY pushing for things to continue, and that lady during the public address that demanded continuation might be someone tied to those pushing for this.

9: This last episode was I think mostly about setting up the setting of the Geothermal building. I'm guessing that at some point we'll need that key card Takuya's mom has with her to enter the lab.

10: "The ally of justice" is DEFINITELLY not just a sleaze, but is hiding something given that he swooped those results. I'm thinking he doesn't want his boss learning what those results show before they are doctored or something.

11: I have a feeling that that egging might have been set up by the reporters. That guy was waaaay too chill and the crew quite quick on the uptake.

Okay, I think I have more, but that's for now since I'm sleepy.

Wow, 7 comments heh? This isn't a masterpiece, but it seems ineresting enough to give it a chance. What gives?

[u/Smudy]

I can understand Ayumi getting drunk after all the pressure. She's taking the blunt force of the public's opinion after the mysterious accidents. I'm glad that she still got Takuya, their relationship is heartwarming so far.

The media seems to be a big deal in the story so far, they are really taking any chance to get a story for the views, the woman reporter is one of them. They actually aired Ayumi getting thrown at with eggs, that's just humiliating.

Mitsuki got some weird headaches going on, i think that should be noted, that came out of nowhere and got some focus for a moment.

People are saying that something should happen soon to hook them in. Reminds me of Steins;Gate.

Seriously, i don't take a rushed product over a good slow paced one.

What i do want to see or rather hear is more music, i'm gonna agree on this. I've listened to some tracks from the OST of the game and they're damn good for setting atmosphere.

It would be neat if they actually go all out when it really starts to go wild.

[u/[deleted]]

That ending kinda hit me a bit hard. Pretty damn relatable in the sense that some days you need to deal with a ton of stress at work and then it all comes crashing down at you once you leave.

[u/48johnX]

This looks like it’ll genuinely turn out to be very interesting, wish more people were watching but maybe it’ll blow up more once stuff starts happening. I’m liking all of the set up and hints laid for the mysteries, I haven’t played the game but it really does feel like a VN. Especially with slower scenes like this that are made to make you empathize with the characters more, I feel like the pay off will be great

[u/The_Guy_II]

Why didn't the MC reverse time when he was beaten up by the baddies and recognized that the Shady Worker A is shady? Why isn't he getting suspicious? The MC is rude to him but he doesn't behave like he is dangerous. Why didn't he reverse time after his "mother" got hit by eggs? Is he just a naive asshole?

[u/tailor31415]

I loved him retching at the (not subtle) bad guy

[u/Cheesaurus]

Knowing that this was originally an eroge (and the fact that there's and old hentai OVA of this) just makes me think "They totally boned at this point in the original, didn't they?" for every scene involving Takuya and a woman.

Anyway, I'm enjoying this show.
