    I enjoyed this episode a bit more than the previous one. So far, everything surrounding the sister is a bit confusing, but in a good mystery sort of way. We all knew that Schwar-chan was not going to be staying with them, but I kind of find myself wishing that his story wasn’t wrapped up in just a single episode. I feel like a more gradual unfolding over a couple episode could have been powerful, especially as a way for Youko to find out more about the pre-apocalypse and maybe even having Airi relating to him on some level. That said, I like the way they handled it for a single episode story; how not every single thing was spelled out for us and the melancholic ending.

    We got some more apocalyptic events:

    • rising sea levels
    • endocrine disruptors causing mutations
    • meteor hit

      Yeah, the author couldn’t decide how they wanted to end the world and just opted for all of them it seems.

        It’s the Pokemon of world ending events. Next season we probably get a show with antropomorphed versions of apocalyptic events that can sing a idol concert after wiping out a landmass. The songs will be a banger.

    Well, we were able to confirm that only one of them is an android at this point, the other being human. For me, it is hard not to compare this to Kino’s Journey, but instead of Hermes being a talking motorcycle, we get an android companion instead.

    It isn’t clear to me yet if Youko actually interacts with this girl from her memories or not. Memories seem to play a key role and apparently there was technology to export memories from a human brain and put them into machines. So, I am wondering if Youko isn’t more or less replaying somebody else’s memories when she has these visions of a pre-apocalypse world.

      That’s a good point. My current working theory is that the “sister” character is a teacher AI from the shelter MC grew up in. Maybe based on a real-world person like the robot in this episode. The memories/flashbacks are from some sort of future VR learning course. She is always drawn with some sort of digital fringe in those scenes.

      Either way, it’s enough of a mystery hook to keep me watching.
