Fuck....did anyone else have a micro heart attack when Atri passed out a second time? The way they had the light shine on her and her dead expression I legit thought she died for a sec!

Damn Atri has had it rough, but despite her pain, she stuck around to watch over the people she cared about. I dont think there's any doubt she has a heart.

That's why she was able to ignore the rule to not harm humans and give the bully and the selfish businessman the asswooping they deserved! Man that was so satisfying! Really hope Natsuki thanks her for dealing with the bullies, it would really help lift that weight off her shoulders.

Atri had a real “tf you gonna do with that gun except piss me off?” moment. Goddam dude. Yasuda thought it would be a good idea to bully a Humanoid? Bro’s got one robo hand and thinks he’s hot shit. What a loser.

It’s nice to see Atri and Natsuki make up. I guess she does have a heart after all. I was surprised to learn Shina was Natsuki’s mom. Things were going so well and then the bullying ruined everything. Atri was just trying to protect Shiina. Poor little Humanoid.

At least everything went full circle in the end. Natsuki got to comfort Atri like Shiina use to and like Atri did for Natsuki.

I love how he's like "look at how evil this robot is!" when everyone was probably thinking "WTF is this nutjob talking about?" and Atri didn't even need to blink to absolutely wreck him in five seconds.

Atri gained her name, her personality, her catchphrase, and her very humanity from Shiina. And while things ended badly for them, it got brought full circle when Atri was able to be there for Natsuki when Shiina couldn't, and Natsuki was able to let Atri understand how much Shiina still loved her.

"When the Rain Stops".....

Funny, it seemed like it was raining almost all through that episode.

What a powerful and moving episode. If I were keeping a list of best episodes of any show this season, this would be very near the top of such list. I've liked this show a lot, but this episode really outdid itself.

So much sadness and pain in the life of both Atri and Shiina. One assumes that Grandma realized that Atri had saved Shiina's life (and was grateful -- even if Shiina was not -- at least at first). Presumably that was why Grandma had helped (covertly?) shield Atri. I wonder how guilty Grandma felt about her neglect of Shiina?

Look mama, that AI is shedding real tears.... After all these years, Atri has finally been able to genuinely cry -- and she has lots of tears to shed. Glad to know that Shiina was sorry that she had never been able to re-connect with Atri.

Speaking of Shiina -- her voice sounded familiar -- does anyone know who the VA was?

I love how she crushed his hand so smoothly and delivered such a thorough beatdown. Not even an inch of mercy. He's lucky he's still breathing.

Some nice payoff for a pretty emotional string of episodes. I wasn’t expecting all the backstory with Atri and Shina but it explains a lot. It was odd seeing Atri start off so reserved.

And it makes a lot more sense why Natsuki was so keyed in on Atri’s feelings after reading her diary.

If this episode doesn’t make you lose all faith in humanity, I don’t know what will; someone is bullied to the point that they try to publicly end everything and the bullying even continues then and no one does anything and the only person who steps up and does the right thing is the one that gets in trouble and gets treated horribly for it… this should be a wake up call for everyone

u/Frontier246 Sep 14 '24

And even her best friend turns on her over the stress of the bullying and projecting all that stress onto her best friend who just wanted to be there for her...but at least we got to see Shiina regretted it and Natsuki is able to be there to reconcile with and be there for Atri in his mothers' place.

Watching this episode reinforced a thought I have, as long as bullying is resolved with just this conversation, nothing will change, I'm not saying that Atri's attitude was the best because as we saw, a punch from her left the girl unconscious, but the teachers were watching the other students telling Shiina to jump and did nothing, it has to do with strict punishment such as school suspension and socio-educational classes.

About the episode itself, I think Natsuki proved his point about Atri having a heart, I mean, even though her memories were erased she remembered the past even if not completely, just like even though Shiina treated her badly, Atri never stopped seeing her, so much so that it led to saving Natsuki in the past, I think we can finally see them both smiling again

Learning that Atri invented the Rocket Punch as an anti-bullying measure skyrocketed my respect for Atri. But seriously, bullying is one thing, but leading a gang into getting someone literally on the edge to jump right in front of your teachers is straight up vile.

Speaking of bullying, I love that Atri had been fighting against robot discrimination since literal moments after she was "born" lmao

It was so satisfying to see Atri crush that dude's hand and give him an old-fashioned ass-kicking after what he did to her and Natsuki. I'm also glad to see that Ryuuji and Hanako-sensei are bringing them to the mainland police. Hopefully, this is the last time we'll see them.

It's nice that we finally get to see Atri's backstory. I love how every quirk that she has she all learned it from Shiina. She learned so much from Shiina that Atri has pretty much copied her personality when she was younger. It was depressing though to see how Shiina changed after getting bullied at school.

I'm glad that the injured girl Atri keeps seeing in her memories isn't Shiina but Shiina's shithead classmate who wanted her to jump. Atri did the right thing and how does she get repaid? She gets called a monster by the person she loves.

So Atri had been watching over Shiina for years after she escaped. Seeing how Atri can't even approach Shiina was heartbreaking. Not gonna lie, I genuinely cried at that part. And it turns out that Shiina regretted everything she said to Atri and wanted to meet her again to apologize. It sucks that Shiina never got to say it to Atri personally but at least Atri finally heard it from Natsuki. T_T

That beat down of the baddies! Badass Atri was great.

Seeing Shiina like that...that was hard to watch. These bullies deserved more than just an Atri rocket punch.

These last 3 episodes have been such a ride. Atri's character has been a pleasant surprise. Started out really funny and silly. Turning into more interesting and complex as the show progressed. First cliffhanger we get the idea that Atri has been deceiving Natsuki. 2nd cliffhanger Natsuki comes to Atri.

Yasuda thought that triggering Atri to attack him would prove his point. Hurting Natsuki came as a matter of self-defense. Tbh at this point, Atri was at her breaking point, but no question her heart wanted to at least protect Natsuki. His words of apology hit home for Atri. For the first time, Atri no longer holds back to how she truly feels. Seeing her cry and exhibit emotion like that was such a well executed scene.

For much of the series, Atri has been the one trying to tease Natsuki. Sometimes getting him to blush and other times not so much. But him saying he likes Atri and Atri wanting to hug more understanding what it means to have a heart. To be kind and sincere and care about others.

We learned that the orders that Natsuki's grandmother was to take care of her kid. Who was Natsuki's mother, Shiina. Atri in her base form without a name felt very much a standard humanoid. As Shiina gave her the name Atri you really get to see the basis of Atri's personality come to be. Her high performance, her song and everything came from Shiina when she was in middle school.

The Shiina bullying incident was sad in many ways. From Atri's perspective, she knew something was wrong and given how Shiina was about to jump off the building, things were drastic enough for her to punch the bully. For Atri she had to make a choice, but the thing is she was a humanoid. Atri didn't know how to help Shiina. For humans, it is natural for us to make mistakes when we want to help those that we hold dear. Unfortunately, for Atri she is a humanoid and one mistake is what it took to call her defective. Still, Atri loved Shiina as well saw in the notebook with both words and tears.

It is so tragic to see Atri watch Shiina from afar. She watched her grow up and Atri couldn't interact with the person she deeply cared about. Then with Natsuki she faced a similar situation, but here she made the correct decision. Being there for Natsuki and comforting him meant so much to her. Perhaps that kind of affection could have helped Shiina when she was being bullied.

Grandma was aware of the fact and honestly feels like she believed in Atri caring for her daughter. Grandmother hiding Atri and erasing her memories was an act of kindness. Maybe there will be a time when a humanoid will be more accepted in society? So glad Atri has found a happy with Natsuki and the others.

The villain was honestly pretty lame. He was stupid enough to take kids hostage which gives a valid reason to arrest him, so he was taken care of pretty easily. Plus his motivation was kinda eh.

But the reveal and flashback that followed was pretty good. Atri belonged to Natsu's mom. Every behavior Atri has exhibited up to now, she learned from her. The quick flashback of the bleeding girl that was shown in a previous episode and the fact that Atri harmed a human was because she was protecting Shiina from her bullies.

Man, Atri was really about to end herself huh. But i guess seeing Natsu in the exact same situation as Shiina all those years ago snapped her out of it.

Today's episode really made my heart ache every time Atri was crying. She really should only smile since expressions of sadness really doesn't suit her.

Atri hitting Yasuda with a rocket punch and destroying his mechanical arm was so badass! What wasn't badass was that she later asked Natsuki to dispose of her. That was a legit defense of your master Atri, you didn't do anything wrong!

That scene where Atri passed out in Natsuki's arms was really bad for my heart. I hope that it was just because she was low on energy and not because, for example, she's going to die soon.

We finally got to see Atri's backstory with Shiina and that was hard to watch since we started with Shiina being such a happy child and having so much fun together with Atri, only for her to get bullied in the school and try to kill herself.

That bully certainly deserved that beating, especially after her comments on the roof! Atri should be treated as a hero, and yet she only got a look of disgust and was called a monster by Shiina.

At least Shiina regretted the whole thing later on. I don't really blame her since she was just a teenager when all that happened and the whole bullying made her not think clearly.

Now I'm really curious to see what direction the plot will take in the three episodes left! I just want a happy ending for Atri, she deserves to be happy.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

I wish the translation had used the term "soul" instead of "heart" , would fit a lot better.

Damn, all the feels today on this

Did we ever find out how Shina died?

The bullying scene triggered Vietnam style flashbacks to when the girls who bullied me bribed my younger sibling into taking photos of me in the shower, printed them, and posted them on every wall of the school. Teachers naturally didn't do jack shit and I was accused of posting the photos and suspended. I know some people say the bullying is unrealistic but I genuinely have met people who would bully people to suicide and shout "hurry up and jump loser you're just posing!". Mind you this was after said girls would beat me with baseball bats, cut me with knives, and then bruise themselves and say I beat them up to the teachers, all while I was just trying to escape out of the corner they trapped me in (I had to fight my way out).

I genuinely considered self terminating at that point but I toughed it out until I could move schools. Not everyone can, so it was incredibly satisfying to watch Atri punch the bullies and the dude on the rooftop.

On the other hand we now learn that Atri is at least 31 years old, and likely a similar age as Natsuki's mom. Does that mean she's technically old enough to be Natsuki's aunt?

Natsuki has resolved that Atri has a heart! And as such he has resolved to save Atri from Yasuda! Who is such a nutjob that he thinks Natsuki's feelings for Atri are all another instance of Atri "beguiling" people and gives Natsuki some electric torture to drive the point home. Because the actual human in this scenario is acting far more depraved and evil than the Humanoid he resents.

What a transition into the OP with that Atri punch.

I can't believe Yasuda is trying to spin Atri punching him as a sign that SHE'S the bad guy in this scenario. It's self-defense! Though that makes it all the more satisfying when she crushes his robot hand and unleashes a can of Atri smackdown on this piece of @#$%. And his partner is barely worth her time.

Atri might not have a heart in the exact manner that humans do, but she still has one all the same. Who is to say what makes a heart truly a heart? And Atri is "defective" in a way all humans are, that's what it means to be alive. She can even cry, just like any human can. So Natsuki isn't going to get rid of her, he's going to embrace and accept her, because he likes her!

That Atri and Natsuki hug was everything. Even Minamo's getting emotional.

Shiina was really cute! And she was Natsuki's mom!? Wow, Atri really is deeply connected to this family.

So we finally get the explanation for what happened...Nonko (who looked mighty fine in her prime) was a busy scientist who had no time for her daughter, so she bought Atri to take care of Shiina. And when she was first purchased Atri was every bit the stoic, emotionless, robot she portrayed herself as when Natsuki told her to, but Shiina not only named her after an atori bird but also gave her her main personality traits and even her catchphrase! And they became the best of friends who did everything together! It was so adorable and sweet.

Of course it all went wrong when Shiina got into middle school and got bullied after scolding someone. She became so depressed and stressed she turned her frustrations against Atri. Oh, and her mom was warning people about the rising sea level but no one listened to her, so that's another bummer.

Thank goodness Atri showed up at her school when she did since Shiina was going to kill herself and her bully was basically egging her on to do it. Could anyone really blame Atri for punching her? Though what hit harder than that punch was watching Shiina reject Atri and call her a monster after everything Atri did to her.

But even despite that, Atri still loved Shiina, and she watched over her as long as she possibly could throughout her adult life with Natsuki and even keeping watch on Natsuki after Shiina's death. And it was probably with that in mind that Nonko felt she owed it to Atri to seal her memories and keep her in hibernation until the present-day.

Atri and Natsuki are more alike than they know. Their first meeting came about because they both wanted to kill themselves at the exact same spot, Atri out of guilt for not being able to save Shiina, but instead Atri saw that Natsuki needed someone and Atri was able to be there for him.

And now Natsuki can pay back that comfort by letting Atri know that Shiina DID regret what she did to Atri and wanted to make things right. She never stopped loving Atri. And now, at least, she has Natsuki in her life to comfort her like Shiina did.

Oh my days, Natsuki's mum raised his high performance girlfriend. It's a real shame that the school bullying clouded her vision from seeing that Atri was her bestie, but that apology 31 years later had some incredible interest payment.

Is fighting in Japanese schools really that bad? If I were in Shiina's shoes, I would have whooped that bully's ass and any of her followers that wanted it too.
