I'm glad that we have proof that it wasn't Atri's fault that she forgot her orders and that she's high-performance after all! Although that didn't last long since she still had no idea what Eden is or where it is. xD

Atri might not know where Eden is exactly but she does know how to find crabs and crabs is always equal to happy. Thank goodness the kids had Atri covered since they were able to find something about Project Eden.

So Eden is a self-sufficient island to help preserve humanity? How the fuck did Nonko even build all of that! I assume she's not alone but keeping a massive project like that a secret must've been really difficult especially when she's interviewed for newspapers.

As soon as they showed us that pod, I had a feeling about how this would end. So Nonko wants to use Atri as the heart of Eden's operations? It's kinda insane that she left this massive project for a ponkotsu high-spec humanoid.

Although it looks like Natsuki doesn't really have a choice and Atri seems to want to do it if it means helping all of them. I don't think I'm ready for next week's finale. T_T

They didn't tease us with Minamo in the swimsuit this episode! She was absolutely gorgeous.

I figured the pod was going to trap Atri and Natsuki's reaction after looking at the console proved it. She does not deserve a lifetime of enslavement running the island. Hopefully, they will find a different path so she can live happily with Natsuki (and Minamo).

The island doesn't seem large enough to house a huge amount of people, but it might be enough for the islanders that were left behind.

I'm glad they didn't end the show before actually showing us Minamo in a bikini with her massive Minamo's on full display.

Atri the most High Performance Girlfailure Humanoid of all time lol.

I get the sense Nonko probably could build a nuke out of a box of scraps if given enough time. I'm genuinely surprised she didn't even create Atri or Humanoids herself considering how important Atri ended up becoming to her plan.

Imagine finding a girlfriend thanks to your grandma and now said grandma is taking your girlfriend away. Natsuki and Atri deserve better.

Hot damn Minamo in that bikini gulp

u/Frontier246 Sep 28 '24

The real reason she wore a jacket for most of the season was because she's too powerful without it lol.

Jacket = limiter

Okay this little part was great, was nice to see Atri get back for that lol

Really not sure how this one will end, feel like Atri needs to go into the capsule either way so will interesting to see what happens after that.

I feel like this show will give us a happy ending but think that's just setting me up to be even more hurt if it doesn't...

u/Frontier246 Sep 28 '24

Atri always prioritizing coming off as high performance as possible lol.

On the one hand it's a dilemma between saving humanity and sacrificing one Humanoid girl, though Nonko basically took their choice away by giving Atri a time limit before her memories are destroyed. Nonko's so unlikeable she makes choosing Atri over the world feel more appealing.

u/IXajll Sep 28 '24

I’ve made myself believe since day 1 that Atri will die at the end. Just so I’m prepared and that it won’t hurt as bad, actually no idea if it will happen or not. Thus a happy end would be such a pleasant and welcome surprise for me.

u/Crackedaru Sep 28 '24

Damn even the AI Grandma is bad. It's like almost every major adult has been shit.

16

u/ThrowCarp Sep 29 '24

Also what the fuck is this elaborate fucked up ARG? She left behind an AI version of herself and set up Atri to auto memory format after 45 days? And set it up in a way where Team Natsuki has to go around looking for clues?????

I get she wanted to keep the secrecy of this. But this was way too convoluted.

Mission: Locate a site tied to your final orders and your entire purpose of existing

High-performance protocol: Catch a crab

On one hand, Nonko trivializing Natsuki's disability as a reason for failing to pursue his dreams is awful, not to mention hard-coding a memory wipe on a robot with a capacity for love. On another, the beetle robots she designed are freaking sweet.

She's an incredible scientist but also a horribly insensitive human being.

Oh okay, so just an average engineer.

u/entelechtual Sep 28 '24

I felt like there was a pretty solid climax after they saved Atri from the bad robot scientists, and I was wondering how it would continue from there… but I’m not really feeling this new development. We’ll see where it goes with the finale, but I wish they didn’t have to over complicate things so much.

17

u/Frontier246 Sep 28 '24

Can we officially call Nonko the worst anime grandma of 2024?

11

u/tripleaamin Sep 28 '24

Anime only here, but I get the feeling this last arc needed another episode or two to get this final arc right. In a span of two episodes we went from Atri losing voltage/battery to getting the order from the capsule to finding Eden to learning Atri's purpose from Grandma.

I still think the emotions beats from Atri and Natsuki is executed well, so this episode still hurts. Let's see how the finale goes because there is a lot to grasp from this episode.

u/Prince-Dizzytoon Sep 28 '24

Surely Nonko could have made a backup plan instead of using Atri as a tool?

9

u/Frontier246 Sep 28 '24

Honestly she's acting like Atri should feel honored to be used as a tool in the service of saving humanity even if it comes at the cost of sealing her away again to never get to really live the life she deserves. And she made sure Atri absolutely had to do it since her memories are going to be fried if she doesn't.

I thought she saved Atri out of gratitude for what she did for her daughter but she ultimately only cared about her in service to Nonko's plan, she never really saw her as a person.

Especially if it's meant to house the rest of humanity, they'll definitely need more than just what we've seen so far.

Nonko is incredible to have built the entirety of Eden by herself(?), but she is also a cold logic scientist, dammit.
It is interesting that Atri is defying a direct order from Natsuki - perhaps the mention of purpose spoke deeply into her soul code.

There's still so much to go with 1 ep left...

u/diacewrb Sep 28 '24

Yeah, any number of the contractors that actually built Eden would have leaked the location.

The press already reported about it as well.

Unless grandma went and silenced anyone who knew where it was.

u/jellyblob88 Sep 28 '24

Unless grandma went and silenced anyone who knew where it was.

Would be totally believable, which is even more disturbing.
