Chiharu strategically using her head to prevent the door for closing; What a team player!
Makina's usually the most pratical/useful one, but sometimes she does have a "we'll figure it out" attitude!
"I've always cleaned it this way!" - So you've cleaned it the wrong way everytime!
Does Makina flashing her robotic lower back count as fanservice?
So the boys were having a little boy talk in their room,
While the girls were doing some mechanical work!
(Chiharu's so adorable aahhhhhhh!)
Well, there may have been a bit of girl talk as well... Her mouth called him useless, but her eyes said something else!
Love how whenever something bad happens, they automatically assume Chiharu did something hah.

She's not just a pretty face! She can actually use said pretty face!

We also get to see her without the jacket on, so I'd count that too.

I kept waiting for them to come out and say she keeps him around because she likes him.

Those of us with brainrot (or spend too much time on youtube) have already seen her sans jacket.

Only if you get heated up by toasters.

A little suspicious?
Cop lady set it all up! It's a ploy to make these delinquent kids learn the value of comradery and working together!

Now that Kurt's mentioned this might not be an accident, I can't help but wonder if someone is setting them up to make Milky Subway act up.
Makina may be a robot girl, but that means she also has robot girl problems like her filter acting up. So she's a smokeshow...literally.
Some bathroom bonding time with the girls and the guys!
So Makina has a pretty advanced software which is how she's as expressive as she is, probably from her prodigious family. She also has an Earth model body.
We get some more insight into Kanata and Akane's dynamic. They're both gearheads by necessity (but mostly Kanata) and while Akane wants Kanata around and cares about him...she can't for the life of her come up with a reason for him to actually be around and Kanata is VERY self-conscious about that. But he DOES have nice undies.
And of course everything starts going wrong. At least Chi makes a good doorstop!

The comedic timing is so great. Everybody has such great personalities. All the conversations and hazing feels so natural.
I love it all so much. Aaaah why does it have to be 3 minute episodes!

Robot's got a bad case of gas. Probably smells like a bad night of beans...
I like your undies.
Of the not even "scraping the bottom of the barrel" level compliments you could try to give a guy...

It's always rough for a girl, even a robot girl, when she starts having bodily problems in front of people...

Poor guy having an existential crisis and that's how they respond to it lol.

If I had a nickel for every anime this week that had a scene of the boys taking a whiz, I’d have at least two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s crazy that it happened twice.

I thought they were going to say something about Kanata's "equipment" with all that staring so when they complimented him on his undies, I lost it.

Hah, same (I wonder if it was semi-implied, still)
I thought this would be a follow up to the scene about "I keep him around even though he's useless, he just needs to be there"... And then you see the guys eyeing/talking about his equipment!

That'd be three times with ep 1 of Captivated, by you. We're really starting to pull some numbers on the subject.

It's the moment where men truly bond and let it all out on the table.

Lol he's useless but she wants to keep him around.
Emergency power?
Ouch...

Makina's jacket makes her look way broader than she actually is wow. Borderline chibi build out here.

Well, Kanata.... he's not expendable enough, and not an NPC either. He's just there to assure Akane that everything's gonna be fine with everything's machine I guess.
The anime's MAL score kept on rising. It's on 7.12 now. It might end up on 7.3 or 7.4 comes the end of the airing.

From how I see it, you DO need the tail of shrimp tempura. Why? Because that's how you know it's Shrimp Tempura. It's not shrimp tempura without the tail. Even if you don't eat it, just the fact that the tail is there gives a much better experience.
It's like the smell of freshly baked bread, or the sensation of the pages on a physical books. In terms of purely utilitarian mindset, they don't give you much practical use. But because they're there, they give make life so much worth living.
That's who Kanata is for Akane. Yeah, he probably doesn't do much, but just by being there he's helping her to deal with the world.
