Robotics;Notes Episode 9
With the project complete, Akiho’s dream is finally becoming reality. Unfortunately, reality seems to not feel so kindly towards her.
With the project complete, Akiho’s dream is finally becoming reality. Unfortunately, reality seems to not feel so kindly towards her.
Frau has Kai live up to his end of the bargain catching cheaters, which results in his most assholeish behavior yet. After Subaru settles things with his almost equally horrible father, and Akiho finally gets the parts she needs through her sponsorship, things are starting to look up again for Team GUN-BUILD1. Unfortunately, such good feelings are short-lived.
Kai delves deeper into the secrets of Kou Kimijima, but is only left with more questions. To Akiho’s jubilation, two new members of the GUN-BUILD1 team finally join up, solidifying our band of five. While Jun’s fantasies make the first half, Subaru’s family problems finally rear their head in the second act.
While Aki is struggling with financing, Kei investigates the weird reaction his tablet had in the last episode. What he uncovers may bring him to face against a publicly benign but secretly militant scientific body. Wait, haven’t I heard that plot hook before?
Recap: The school continues to mess with our poor genki girl, declaring the ROBO-ONE prize funds won’t be added to the clubs budget until after she graduates. This means she’s forced on a fundraising campaign. Meanwhile, Kai gets roped up in another ROBO-ONE competition by MISTAH PUREADISU, the first guy to actually take his KILL-BALLAD…
Recap: Finally, the ROBO-ONE competition is here! Will Aki and Kai prevail, or will Mr. Pleiades’s star power be too much for them to handle?
Aki is driven in making a robot that can win the funding she needs. Kaito is somewhat given some character, shown as sort of a replacement figure after presumably the untimely death of Aki’s sister in a tragic accident. Doesn’t stop him from continuing to be a dick to the poor genki girl.
In the near future, nonplussed lackey Kaito Yashio and adorable nerd Akiho Senomiya are trying to build a giant robot for their high school robotics club. Somehow, as we are told, they will save the world.
