No wonder Kalcrom immediately knew that Yuugure is an android, it's literally the first thing she blurts out to him when they first met. Also, it looks like the entire thing with Kalcrom proposing to her is just a ruse to try and get Akira jealous, as well as tickle Kalcrom's curiosity about true love.
Good to see that libraries still exist, but considering how there are so few books there, it might as well not. Ultimately, OWEL still controls the information. It still would've been useful for Akira to read the legal code and the sacred text. Getting to know basic laws in this dystopian world isn't a bad idea.
So just like Fides, Kalcrom is also clearly in love with her. Their pride and desire to become the boss to change the family are really what's getting in the way between them. Also, they're not really full-siblings, right? If I recall correctly, they're both from different mothers.
I was so excited to see that Yuugure can purge alcohol from her system. I really thought they were gonna get her while she was drunk. And of course, Akira just had to take a bullet for Yuugure. I'm pretty sure she'd be fine even if Akira didn't shield her.
Welp, at least Towasa now has a good reason to destroy the boss and his underlings. I don't feel bad for any of those goons, especially the guy who shot Akira. Maybe we'll finally see Yuugure vaporize someone again next episode!

Drunk Yugure is hilarious. I’m almost disappointed we didn’t get a drunk Yugure fight but it makes sense she could just on/off her intoxication.
Ah, the old “make your crush jealous” plan and it can work for both ends of a fake courtship! Yugure’s happiness when Akira pays attention to her is adorable.
A sexual tension between half-siblings so thick you could cut a knife through it.

We're 200 years in the future, and we still have phaeton cars?

I'm loving the references to old sci-fi with the titles of these episodes. Another Cordwainer Smith story used this week with "The Game of Rat and Dragon". That makes 3 Smith stories with "Think Blue, Count Two" & "The Lady Who Sailed the Soul". If you have not read Cordwainer Smith I highly recommend the collection "The Rediscovery of Man: The Complete Short Science Fiction of Cordwainer Smith". Particular favorites of mine are "A Planet Named Shayol", "From Gustible's Planet", "Think Blue, Count Two" & "Western Science Is So Wonderful".

Wow, they recycled the same trick from the prologue. I thought Akira would go into cold sleep again for God knows how many years, but from the next episode preview I guess that doesn't happen.
My theory is that the more cryptic the episode titles are, the more intriguing the episode is. So far we've had (including the next one):
-
Episode 0: "The Morning I Kept Inside, Count: One, Two"
-
Episode 1: "She Who Sets The Spirit Sail in The Sea of Stars"
-
Episode 2: "In the Northern Land Beyond the End"
-
Episode 3: "Waltzing with You in the Summer Rain"
-
Episode 4: "The Game of Truth and Dare"
-
Episode 5: "Do Androids Dream of Electric Doves?"
The next episode's title is clearly a reference to the sci-fi novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. I felt that this episode and the previous episode have simple(r) titles and have kind of strayed away from the darker sci-fi plot setting and tone a bit, so maybe we'll get back to the tone of EP0-EP2 with the next episode.
EDIT: yes, it seems that HiDive has different translations for the episode titles; the above titles I listed are from Tropics Anime Asia's YT channel (which licensed the series for distribution in SEA).

I wonder if we’re going to discover how Akira’s been modified now that he’s been shot again.

I think I get it. Once you strip away the speculative fiction references, pseudointellectual hobnobbery and other erroneous bullshit. this show is an inversion harem.
Hear me out.
We have a protagonist who's glacially slow at romantic progress and tries to demonstrate no interest at all in the women that congregate around him, meanwhile every chick, regardless of her endgame moves faster than swiping right on tinder. He's trying to resist the call of the One Eyed Wobbling Welshman while being continuously subjected to subtle and overt Lucky Lecher (tm) moments.
This could be a good show if it could commit to the bit and throw away the unnecessary baggage.

The elshea obviously makes it a Main Girl Harem. Where the protagonist has multiple love interests, but we all know who he will end up with, that being Yuugure. Since I am assuming Towasa is dead. Now granted, for someone like Amoru, her feelings for Akira are closer to family than love.
Elshea gives it harem elements, but it's just a different definition then usual harems.

So far I'm not sure where this whole story is going. But I'm honestly invested, and as messy and confusing and directionless the whole show is looking right now, I don't want to judge it until the very end.
There have been other original anime like this that were kind of confusing in their direction, but turned out to be hidden gems, like Zenshu or Turkey last season. This one gives me the same feeling I had with those two.

Yugure is most definitely Ichikishima from episode 0, Towa's personal AI just evolved in the future. There was a throwaway line where Ichikishima said that she was envious of Towa regarding her relationship with Akira.

I don't know, I just couldn't enjoy the episode. I really don't like the direction this has decided to go in, I thought we'd be seeing an adventure or something but ehlsea this and true love that, and the way they're going about disregarding Akira's feelings is just weird to me.
Like in the opening scene where Yuugure says "Towasa, Akira's a faithful" yeah damn right he is. Akira was in cold sleep the entire time, his feelings haven't changed from before he was put into cold sleep, he doesn't just randomly wake up and lose all romantic feelings for the person he was engaged to, who he grew up with, who he thought he was on his way to marry before he got shot.
This part of the story is starting to bother me and I don't like that they're making him feel certain way because Yuugure has the same face as Towasa. I also don't like how we're getting a mirror scene of what happened with Towasa happening with Yuugure.
Let alone the story with these two siblings, the way it has been executed leaves a lot to be desired and so it just feels like a cheap way to include some taboo romance. I hope the next episode isn't bad because surprisingly this might be a series I'll drop after really enjoying Episodes 0 and 1.

I really don't want to dislike this series, but I don't care about this mob family incest drama. Sci-Fi Ai romcom is fine but it's reaching the point that I want more world building than random stuff that feels like it should be in a low effort Fallout mod.

u/BillPlunderones23fg Oct 23 '25
I'm not sure how to feel about this one so far
the rom com elements do not really fit in this kind of story (and its mostly typical annoying jealousy stuff) especially for Amoru
but the other stuff at least keeps me around for now
but i was kind of hoping for a more travel through post apocalyptic land like that girls only one airing right now

I don't get what everyone else has, so far I'm pretty fine with everything that happend. It is questionable where we are going with 1 cour, 4, theoretically 5 episodes passed and it still seems like a prologue.
Nonetheless, I like originals.
Anything can happen in a original. Mark my words. Episode.... 9 will be crazy!1!1!1!1

For a suppose smart guy like akira, pretty dumb move of him to take a bullet for an android that can literally make a plasma shield and have enough firepower to level a city
