Time for chapter 1 of the manga version of the misadventures of the characters we know and love.
Done. The release schedule seems to be biweekly.They have an upvote button at the and of the chapter, consider pressing at least that to support the manga: https://web-ace.jp/shonenaceplus/contents/3000131/episode/2750/Final episode of the anime later today.
thanks for posting it, but this shit wasn't in english
>>282353322So it adapts the anime story but has the events in a bit different order.
>>282353345yeah, turns out that they speak japanese is japan
Cute antenna wiggle.also rip thread
>>282353291>She makes him wear a helmet
Art is cute but Makina's face should have some CRT filter slapped over it. Also, I want this so bad.
>>282356726She does have something in the color pages, guess the artist thought that it would get too messy in black and white
>>282356726>>282357285
how is it doing?last ep has 1 764 007 viewsI have no idea if it's good, meh or bad
>>282357903I think it's been a success, especially considering it's basically a one-man show
IT'S OUT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEn-9_MGAM4
>>282358251I really like that they brought back the milky highway music, it sucks the finale wasn't longer though.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
10/10
>>282358348It kinda is if you count the credits and shit
so?it's AOTS but is it AOTY?
>>282353322Neat, hope somebody translates it
Is this a Japanese pun?
>>282358251Nice ending, I had to watch it on a smaller screen than I normally would so I'll watch it again when I get home but even on the smaller screen it was great, I think they reached a nice compromise on kanata getting to do something physically without suddenly becoming much more capable
I fucking knew it! She is a digitized consciousness! Also, based on the date, this was quite a "space odyssey", wasn't it?
I can't believe Makina died.
>>282358943you can see the dates here >>282353049
Honestly a fun little series. Wonder if they'll do a sequel.
I hope that if season 2 gets made, Makina's new body will be more "top heavy".
>>282359018Fuck you.
>>282358985How do the dates work? If the manga dates of their arrest are accurate - then Makina and Chiharu are arrested at different years? Whether it's year 2020 or 2021 - it means Makina's back up is at least a decade old
>>282359047Not everyone is into pettan, y'know.
>>282353155Kanata...
>>282359195The label was hand-written, not printed, so I suspect that was when the disk was inserted while the actual contents have been constantly updated since then.
>>282359263Alright, then what's with the 6th of April date? 2001 is a reference to the Kubrick movie, but it's released on 3rd of April 1968. Unless the release was 3 days later in Japan?
>>282359404i looked it up on japanese wikipedia, and they seem to have listed the release date as april 6th there.
Is this based on a videogame or something
>>282359816No.
>>282359627damnvery nice
Machine arms
No machine arms
>Last episodeSay it aint so. I need more of this. At least the ending was great.
>>282358943I guess that's how she was able to have such a flat head in the past, I thought she was an actual brain in a jarMaybe the others all are but she's got the super advanced brain transfer shit
>>282359263Interesting that it says backup though, if it's meant to her her main memory why is it marked suchMaybe it's called backup because it's backed up from her original brain.
>>282359627>In the end O.T.A.M. was H.A.L. all along. sorry, Dave.
>>282358992Milky beachMilky racetrack
>>282359816It's based on the Milky highway shorthttps://youtu.be/dSc27JPm3r8?si=5EOh--Bm0xwQhQo0
>>282358943With their definitions she should be classified as an android if her mind is digitized.
sex with kanata
>>282359938The shooter here has machine armsLove the revolver laser
>>282360174You mean sex while Kanata watches right?
>>282359916>He covered for Kanata so he wouldn't be the first to go like alwaysKurt is the best
>>282360037It's like the continuous backups that companies and organizations make of their server data. You have the main storage running on the server and then the backups that are stored on a separate storage device. In other words, the actual personality is running on the built-in storage in her head while also constantly updating the data stored on the floppy.
>>282358992Milky Skyway
>>282359627the dates on Makina's back up disc now makes sense, but it looks like the japanese wikipedia dates might be erroneus - IMDB, english wikipedia, spanish wikipedia, and german wikipedia all listed the film as premiering in US on 02/04/68
>>282360166Not if at some point in the future of mankind they changed the law to accept any sapient perceived beings as "humans"
>>282359916His hop is funny
>>282360079Milky Segway
>Sung by Yukarin >Look up the first version >Shorter, not by Yukarin oh neat so they added verses and rereorded it https://youtu.be/EZGki_E2yEk
>>282358563Deus ex machina.10 is X in roman numerals.
AOTS, I'm sad it's over but I'm happy it happened.
>>282360294Also, someone in the know will have to clarify whether it's just a series of errors or some weird lore - because the release dates for UK is wildly different on different language pages of wikipedia. English lists it at 01/05/68, the Japanese page lists it as 10/05/68, while the Chinese page lists it as 15/05/68
>>282360409AH I see, and her name is makina (machina)
>>282360409I didn't catch that, nice. That's some hardcore meta>>Kurusu Makina is both the figurative and literal Desu ex Machina by becoming the Deus X Makina >>in the end, I was really the Deus X Makina...
>>282360328The director himself said that the brain and pituitary gland need to be intact to still be a human and thus a cyborg.Actually this also seems to be an inconsistency since Makina is supposed to have her brain intact in her head.
They paid off the mech, nice. The dropkicks truly were the best of friends.
>>282359916Now that he has them they were useful I can you can say that they came in handyYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH
>>282360409Kek that’s good
>>282360502It is her backup, so maybe the real makina is somewhere else and just gets updated?
It's been a great ride with all you dropkicks.
>>282360174Kurt, Max, stop! That's forbidden love!
>>282360555Then the Makina they've been interacting with is an android clone.
It's been a good ride
T-they'll continue this somehow right?RIGHT?
These disks held 128kb at best. LOL. Makina basic af.
obari
The series is getting edited into a movie with new scenes. For now it will just be in Japanese theaters. Hopefully we'll get it worldwide.>https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2025-09-18/milky-subway-the-galactic-limited-express-cg-anime-gets-theatrical-edit-with-new-content/.228948
Milky Subway, please don't go. I need you.
>>282353155Kanata is having a stroke
>>282360831a 15 minute movie?
>>282360590>peeks
>>282360831let's not get ahead of ourselves. I liked it a lot but I'm not going to see it in a theater
>>282360750image misfire? Also IIRC floppies held 1.4MB
>>282353155The team
>>282360861If every episode were one minute long, yes. But every episode is three and a half minutes long, so no.
>>282360174I agree
>>282360617It's just one of her forks on github maybe call it GitHuman or GitHubris.
Makina's new body
>>282360831Damn, I actually would go to the movies for this, I'd bring along some people I want to shill it to.
>>282360919so a 40 minute movie at best.
>>2823608881.4mb is still basic af.
>>282360422japanese wikipedia said that was the general release date, so i started looking through old internet stuff, and 10+ years ago people generally accepted that the release date was april 6thi'm now curious to find out exactly when the consensus was changed to april 3rd.
>>282353155>Kanata: "WTF am I reading?"
>>282361176found it, december 20th 2015, release date changed to april 3rd, no explanation given.
>>282360222So, where's Makina's brain and pituitary gland at?
>>282361585i mean 2014
>>282360905>>282361494Brain damage of electrical origin.
>it's overI actually want to cry. This was easily AOTS, I don't really know what comes close. Even if you want to argue that it doesn't count because of the length, it'd still be the best single episode when stitched together. It was just so good. The characters were enjoyable and the episodes didn't waste time. Something was always going on. I really hope this isn't the end.
Truly the Breakfast club of our generation.Sad to see it go.>Finally heard more of the OP song than 2 lines
I can't believe Makina became a Shinkalion!
Post your screenshots and webms so I can save them please. I watched on YT so never took any
Imagine some mangaonly coming to the thread of the first chapter and getting bombarded with spoilers about the finale
Machine arms are really useful. I'm kinda glad that Youtube-kun was useful for once and recommended me the first episode the day after it first aired.
>>282353049>Kanata is so short that his feet don’t even reach the floorCute…
they're so cool
>>282362652Literally the only non-annoying male characters in anime in recent memory.
>dubs in 10 languages other than original Japanese>A-list seiyuu>good manga adaptation with art that puts regular isekaislop to shameThe sponsors must have been extremely impressed by the original short.
>>282362750Worlds most correct and good-taste sponsor
>>282362812>>282362750Or they made some type of deal with the devil
I mean this with no exaggeration. I enjoyed this ending so much, and was laughing so much in sheer joy that it brought tears to my eyes. Most fun I've had all season. This just hit perfectly in my strike zone.
>>282362885I don't see a downside for ME in that case at least.
>>282357903I think that's good, even some well-established youtubers don't get those numbers that often>>282358251 >>282360619 >>282360726 >>282360416Nice episode, but I wish it ran longer.I'm gonna miss this series, it really was a joy to follow the episodes each week, and discuss them here as well.>>282358943 >>282359994 >>282360166 Yeah, she is more of an android, then. I feel like the author said those things about the brain and all, but he didn't really put that much thought into it, which is why there seems to be some inconsistencies.Unless her actual brain is stored in a place somewhere, and the memories and information those backups gather are somehow transferred to and from the original brain.
I can't believe Makina is fucking dead
glomp
>>282363148So she was back shot
>>282363148>Deus 10>Makina>10=X>Deus X Makina>deus ex machina
Kurt's military-grade machine arms are really something else.
art by bkub
>>282362733That probably has more to do with the anime you watch
>>282363523I doubt it. Anime girls are annoying too, but at least they're cute.
Great finale. I wish the finale was longer and had more action but it's very impressive for a one-man work.
>>282362146kek
>>282363595I don't think anime is for you then, tourist
>>282363595What exactly do you find annoying?
If they sell this physically I'm buying it. Was a great show, too bad none of my friends have bothered to watch it.
>>282360831A movie? Wouldn't it only have enough for a 40 minute TV show?
>>282362146>>282363651And I thought I was the only one who watched it
>>282353264Could it be?
>>282364590They will add enough that it would round up to 1 hour
The director really likes matching scenes to the BGM. Kino.
>>2823660951 hour is still a little too short in my taste to constitute a movie.
>>282366249Good thing nobody agrees with your taste
>>282366249Movies stop being short movies around 40 mins
>>282366249They could just add the thing they made before this to the film
>>282363694If you like anime in general but don't also think most anime is terrible or annoying then I don't know what to tell you. It's the objectively correct opinion.
>>282353203>>282353215>>282353264I'm not a fan of this overly expressive Ryouko.
>>282353264>>282365647pretty sure they're both a reference to something else
>>282366937>Are you sure I shouldn't be restrained or something?>It's fine, whatever.Based apathy poisoned Ryoko
>>282363282No wonder he likes to show them off
This was my favorite anime of the season. I hope there's more in the future.
>>282366937Same.
I missed some X/Twitter lore dumps and interviews. Is there a compilation of them where we can check them all out?
>>282353291Fuck the Bolice
Here's an idea for more content... now that there is a manga, what if we got a 2d animated version?
Doing the math, here's the lengths of a movie since each episode was about 3:30 long counting creditsTime of all 12 episodes with credits: 43:15Plus highway: 46:5512 without credits besides in the first and last episodes not counting the recap: 39:04That with highway without credits: 42:1412 with no credits at all: 37:27with highway: 40:37
>>282359018
>>282360831It'd take me more time to drive to the theatre and back than it would to see the actual movie considering how short this series is.
>>282368254Ruined
Get in the fucking robot, Kanata
Thread theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRJse7ZXhlc
>>282368747I thought it would be this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk_Lw8seK2EHow did this guy pull this off? This show should not be anywhere near as good as it is.
>>282369086I chose A&V because I think altair and Vega sounds better tbdesu
>>282361585>>282361176the plot thickens
>>282367664You know what, they're likely not done with the lore and interviews, but let me dump everything so far.>Kujo Chiharu>A 23-year-old enhanced human.>Self-paced and almost too good-natured. This isn’t the first time she’s been arrested together with Makina.>Kurusu Makina>A 23-year-old cyborg.>She is rather rough and somewhat aggressive. She has been friends with Chiharu since their school days.
>>282370155>Daidoji Akane>She's the leader of the space biker gang, the Galaxy Spirits.>She's almost unnaturally strong physically. She doesn't talk much and what she says can be frightening. However, at heart, she is deeply responsible and cares greatly about her comrades.>Iwao Kanata>Akane’s sidekick, always posturing.>He's very weak despite his tough guy act. He rebelled against his parents' overprotective upbringing, but even after joining the street racers, he gets treated overprotectively thanks to Akane.
>>282370185>Max O'Donald MacCallister>Former Space Force veteran. He excels at memory and information processing, and is primarily responsible for operating gadgets. He is saving money to have his face made animatronic to be more expressive.>Kurt Fitzgerald Cramer>Former Army veteran, now employed by the Defense Services. His mechanical arms are powerful and skilled for precise work. He has a younger sister.Shared part for both of them:>Employed by a company that mostly deals in legally grey jobs. They’ve already been detained or arrested several times due to their work. However, the company has skilled lawyers, so they’ve always been released without charges. This time, they were caught smuggling sugar, which is prohibited to handle without special permits. Basically, they’re indifferent to other people and just play games all the time.
>>282370213>Kanzaki Ryoko>A police officer at the Ginkyo Prefectural Police Station.>She's primarily in charge of the sentence reduction program.>She's actually a former delinquent.
>>282370253>Enhanced Humans>Humans with pink skin, like Chiharu and others. They have been genetically modified so they can withstand the harsh environments of space. Most of the displays used within the Federation [United Stars of Barnard] are CRTs, because the green light from LCD displays cannot be seen by enhanced humans.
>>282370273>Cyborgs>People who have partially mechanized their bodies. People who are not enhanced humans often become cyborgs to adapt to the harsh conditions of space. However, the process of becoming a cyborg involves massive up-front costs and expensive upkeep. The poor, who cannot receive official procedures, mostly rely on cheap and dangerous black-market surgeries, or they enlist in the Stellar Forces, where cyberization is free and parts are provided. Kurt and Max have military background.>Q. Where is the human element in Makina and the others?>A. Well, as long as the brain and pituitary gland are still intact, the person’s human ego is considered to remain, so they’re classified as cyborgs. Makina and similar characters are supposed to have those organs still in their heads, but I was too lazy to put that info in any official materials, which has led to some confusion.
>>282370309Kameyama also added this explanation for how Makina managed to squeeze her brain into this small box:>Makina's brain must be tiny, huh.
>>282370351From the first Parco exhibit:>There are several national flags (planetary flags?) displayed in the police station, and in this room. Each flag has a name and some background info, but they have basically no relevance to the story, so honestly, you can just skip reading this.>United Stars of Barnard (USB) [Top right]>Where the Milky series takes place. An economic bloc consisting of three planets.>Due to a time lag of about 20 years in logistics with Earth, culture and information from Earth are quite outdated.[The text on the flag seems to be fast food slogans in Esperanto]>League of Konsilio [Top left]>One of the USB planets. No other background info.>Pietania the Independent Government [Bottom left]>The planet where Chiharu and the others are from.>Vaguelagia Impirial Planet [Bottom right]>They grow rice.
>>282370388>United Stars of Barnard (USB)>Where the Milky series takes place. A planetary system centered around a star located 5.98 light-years from Earth. In the 60s, humanity succeeded in space development, and since then, a small group of people have secretly started colonizing it. Most people living on Earth are unaware of its existence. Due to a time lag of about 20 years in logistics with Earth, culture and information from Earth are quite outdated.
>>282370410>Galaxy>The largest biker gang in Ginkyo, operating around the Neo-Machida area.>Following the construction of the Interplanetary Expressway, The Milky Highway, several years of turf wars broke out among biker gangs in the region, but things have now stabilized. This peace is thanks in large part to the efforts of the Galaxy Spirits’ First President. Today, his adopted daughter Akane Daidoji is the gang’s leader (Second President).
>>282370443The First President
>>282363168I didn't expect Kurt and Max, the military veterans, to immediately charge in swinging their fists. I guess they don't have high tech bodies with built in weapons like Makina.
>>28237046511 years old Akane.She later started using colored contacts because she wants to intimidate others.
>>282360166>androidGynoid akshually, though cyborg can also be taken to mean a mechanical lifeform.
>>282370496>The Gyaru Squad>They were the popular girls in Chiharu and Makina’s class when they were in 5th year of middle school. They once targeted Makina for being unsociable, but she was too intimidating to do anything against directly so they harassed her only friend, Chiharu. Makina wouldn't let that stand and threatened the three of them, after which they didn’t dare mess with her again. While the girls' relationship with both Makina and Chiharu generally remained bad during their school years, there was one time Makina beat up badly a boy who got violent with Erica.
>>282370524The Gyaru Squad
>>282370555>Dawes & Smith Defense Services>Commonly known as DS Security. The company that Kurt and Max work for. They are said to be involved in all kinds of crimes, such as the illegal distribution of sugar, though no conclusive evidence has ever been found. As for the boss, Jane Dawes, nothing about her age or origins is known. Other members include Alice Santorini (landmine/explosive disposal) and Jason Krueger (musclehead).
>>282370574Other DS Security membersKameyama also added:>Alice the landmine expert is also a landmine personalitywise, I feel bad that the bit didn't really get across.
Wouldn't a backup cause Makina to lose all her memory from the time of the backup til now?
>>282370596>"Where's the purchase order?"
>>282370596>Chigahama Gurentai>A biker gang that Ryoko once belonged to.>They had formed an alliance with the Galaxy Spirits.>The gang disbanded after the death of their leader, Sumire Kawasaki, who also was Ryoko’s best friend and Ryoko set her sights on becoming a police officer.
>>282370388i think this confirms my theory about the clock with three sets of times on it correlating to the hours on three planets.
>>282370654Ryoko in her delinquent days with her bff
>>282370688>"Become an adult who can properly greet people like that, okay?"
>>282366937Just imagine her doing a deadpan voice while doing all these movements
>>282370721>Officer Asami>A male police officer character who was intended to be Ryoko's partner in the original draft. However he was not that important to the story progression, so Director Kameyama reluctantly cut him out.
>>282370614>2001.4.6~That's the start date, with an open end date.
>>282370506They're supposed to have their brains left to be cyborgs >>282370309, but who knows what Makina is supposed to be at this point
>>282370753Ryoko's initial concept
>>282370778>Kurusu Shun’ichiro>Makina’s father. 89 years old (in Earth years). Founder and CEO of Titan Industries. He has fully transferred his consciousness into the company’s computers. Backups of his personality sometimes branch off, creating rogue variants.
>>282370802>Kurusu Maria>Makina’s mother. She is absolutely obsessed with beauty and is terrified of aging, she keeps her body immersed in a preservation fluid, maintaining the appearance of when she was 28. She holds discriminatory beliefs against enhanced humans.
>>282370827>Kameyama wanted Milky Highway (the original) to be focused on entertainment instead of having some message to deliver like what others seemed to be doing>He was into and inspired by Zutomayo and music videos animated by Hanabushi, as well as Steamboat Willie which had animation timed with audio>He went in making Milky Subway with the mindset that it is fantasy set in space instead of science fiction>The story takes place in 2020sPicrel is some concept art
>>282370614See >>282360222
>>282370857>Makina initially had a face similar to Max's in MilkyHighway, it was changed after it was deemed too simple>Cyborgs use wigs, Makina started making her appearance flashier due to Chiharu's influence>Chiharu first met Makina because the Gyaru Squad's antics. Chiharu is bad at reading the room and was completely oblivious to Makina's reputation as both the rich kid and the unsociable kid and just kept talking to Makina and get closer to herPicrel is Kurt's and Max's head structures
>>282370885From the second Parco exhibit.Injection candy.And done, unless I missed something.
>>282370273>the green light from LCD displays cannot be seen by enhanced humansSome enhancements.
>>282370351That or there's not a complete brain in there and most of Makina's brain is cyberbrain.
>>282370802>>282370827This explains a lot about Makina.
>>282371038They created something that can survive in space as-is, who cares if their creation accidentally also can't see one color in one specific scenario
>>282361007>>282364590That happens sometimesLike the Girls und Panzer Das Finale episodes were all in theaters, and some of them were 40 minutes long
>>282360409Brilliant
>>282368254Milkina
>>282357285
>>282353025This was damn good. What was that song that played called?
>>282368747I've added A&V into my daily mix. It's a really good song
>>282370213>He has a younger sister.Cute
>>282362976>>282360166>>282370774>>282360328>>282359994She is some big shot daughter security for her will be nightmare. Kurt and Max are probably regular cyborgs but Makina is probably not even a cyborg but chilling full body in some vat. It would also make sense why her first picture had some smaller head that can't fit a brain. On the other hand it makes no sense why she would need a breathing system from the bathroom episodes.
>>282370857>>Kameyama wanted Milky Highway (the original) to be focused on entertainment instead of having some message to deliver like what others seemed to be doing
>>282353025Has the manga been translated?
>>282353025I'll miss the dropkicks so much. I liked the show a lot, honestly i hoped kanata would get to shine more in the finale. He wouldn't be kanata if he did though, so whatever.Voice acting was great. EN was very hit or miss, especially with a more literal script than normal. Max was my favorite of the JP and EN voice tracks, which I shouldn't be surprised by since he, having mouth flaps to match, could give a more natural performance. Akane's awkwardness was endearing and I want one of her "KANATAAAAs" to be a ringtone. And of course, the gruesome twosome had great banter.
>>282372744>having mouth flapsHaving no mouth flaps
>>282353025MANGA CHADS
>>282372329It was never stated what she needed the filter for and it didn't seem like a critical part of any of her functions.I'm leaning towards the director not thinking too hard about what is a cyborg or what Makina is when making this and now there's contradicting information because of that.
>>282370309>>282370351>”what about these plot holes?”>¯\_(ツ)_/¯I love this guy.
This was AOTS for me
>>282372646It hasn't even been a day
>>282370915Thanks, anon. Lots of good tidbits in there. I love writers that put this much thought into their worlds, even when most of it won’t get used.

>>282372744>I'll miss the dropkicks so much.Same. These little shitheads grew on me so much. It's not often we have a series with no bad characters.We'll have the manga at least, but it's not the same. Print media won't capture their snappy, often chaotic dialogue in the same way, nor the musical action sequences.Looking forward to the theatrical cut, and I definitely plan on picking up the physical release if there is one.
I just realised that Ryoko is wearing a skintight space suit under her police uniform.
>>282375945Man you're slow. I had this giant erection since this show started.
>>282359916>>282362378Kurt's machine arms are really something special. They deflect projectiles that can easily penetrate through Makina.
>>282370555For me it's Erica
Damn, that was a great finale. Depending on whether Ruri's last episode is as good as its first, second or seventh, this will probably be either my AOTS or my second favorite, and in such a stacked season, it's quite an achievement.

I hope she stays a giant robot for the hypothetical sequel.
>>282363148for a second I thought there was going to be a tiny alien inside her head like in Men In Blackthe way the inside of her head looked like, it looked like a place for a tiny creature to sit in
yooooshe a negro under all that expensive crt
>>282379501>Milky Subway if it was written by Zach Hadel
>>282377852It literally said no reuploading on the picture
>>282370827>Exit your vat>daughter is living with a slugger
>>282380598oh noes, we're all getting sued!
So, how was Makina born if her dad's a full on robot, and how do her parents expect to have grandkids who will continue the Kurusu dynasty?
>>282380736*full on robot now
>>282380736If you're gonna go full borg without testes, you'd probably freeze your sperm before.
>>282366249Academy feature length has been 40 minutes for a very long time and most international flavors, including Japan's, set feature length at 40 minutes.
>>282380937Yeah, it's the reason so many cinemas used to do double features with one ticket getting you both an A movie and a B movie
>>282370778Honestly they fixed her so hard. I don't mind robots but I don't think I could fuck this
>>282381390You want to fuck pigs?
what the fuck are us originalgods supposed to watch next season
>>282381447Nothing.
>>282381447you got the chart?
>>282370827How does she feel about her daughter being a slug-fucker?
>>282363246incredible
>>282370253Best girl of the season

>After finishing Milky Subway>Thank you very much for watching all 12 episodes of "Milky Subway: The Galactic Limited Express".>With small-scale production, a short 12-episode structure, and being fully 3D, there were many unprecedented elements, and I had no idea how it would be received by the public. However, once it was released, many people received it warmly, the audience grew with each new episode, and in the end, I believe we achieved results that can safely be called a success.>For myself, it was my first time working on a series, and there were many things I wasn’t used to. Both in the script and in the visuals, there are many parts I am not fully satisfied with. Even so, thanks to the results this time, it seems I will be able to continue telling stories through video from here on. Going forward, I hope to correct my shortcomings and deliver even better works.>For a creator, being able to make a completely original story and be given the opportunity for people to watch it is the greatest joy. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved in the production, and to everyone who watched the work.>From here on, I hope to keep creating works that give viewers energy and encouragement. I humbly ask for your continued support!>YoHey
>>282381447the new PA Works show, that SI-VIS thing and digimon
Chiharu is corrupting Makina
Another wood sculpturehttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/2SiT2SsLTPs
>>282372350Well, he still ended up making a story about income inequalities, the slippery slope of casting all people with criminal records as a weight to society that need to be removed, and the rejection of your own privilege, so I do'nt think they really succeeded in accomplishing that bit.
>>282387572Even if Subway ended up having a message or you can dig up themes, it's not Highway
>>282380736you can freeze semen. and eggs last quite a while in the fridge.
>>282388180
>>282386436that's cutebut it makes me thinkguys, what ifMakina is actually a guy?
>>282388208Liar.
>>282388086Well, my bad, I had the two confused.
The GOAT has something to say about it.https://x.com/shinkaimakoto/status/1968867841215451416
>>282388633he's always been a scifi fan
>>282388742Well, his new film is sci-fi and it's getting announced soon. So he's been consuming a lot of sci-fi lately.
>>282388417Those are only optional parts
>>282389171>latelyhttps://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=104
>>282389371Can you read? I said he's been consuming a lot of sci-fi works lately because he's going back to sci-fi for his next film. Americans are truly the most illiterate people in history.
>>282388742Subway is not really sci-fi
>>282386207Oh no this makes me think this is the end for these characters, and he's going to move on to a new IP
>>282362555Kanata is taller than Chiharu. So either he's doing it on purpose or he got a desk that's too big for him.
>>282380640She never exits the vat. There's wheels at the bottom of it, apparently she lives in it and the electrodes probably control it.
>>282390032He probably insisted on a desk that was as big as Akane's
>>282370721Does this means Akane probably already knows Ryoko?
>>282390035Sounds like heaven as long as she has internet in there.
>>282370827
>>282390165She probably doesn't remember her, she looks completely different too.
>>282370827>makina brings chiharu over for dinner>makina's mom pulls out the lcd to greentext slurs
>>282360590
>>282390165Possibly, they were casually eating lunch or whatever together in the questioning so sounds like special treatment.
>>282380640>>282382983>>282390424Makina is getting disowned the moment her mom hears that she's been SLUGGED.
Anyone else here watch Murder Drones? Makina kinda reminds me of the funny robots in that one.
>>282364590Depends on how long the sex scenes they add are.
>>282392672I have. One indie animation watcher to another.That one's even getting a graphic novel adaptation.
>>282390032>>282390084Remember, his desk was wobbly.Clearly it's the desk's fault.
>>282382983She's okay with it as long as she's the top, slug-breaking is a time-honored tradition
>>282385702
>>282372744>honestly i hoped kanata would get to shine more in the finaleHe didn't get shot and Akane trusted him with the McGuffin - that's a massive improvement.
>>282353322nice. thanks for dumping
Just watched the last episode. It was a great ride.Get it? Ride?
>>282353322Translations when?
>>282396664Hopefully someone picks it up.
>>282398668why's she so smug about Kanata getting CLANKED?
>>282396237I'd ride Makina
>>282393872Seeing them in different outfits still boggles the mind. Got the same feeling from the retailer chain collab.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7QE_af-CrA
>shilled by Oozora Subaru>shilled by bkub>shilled by ShinkaiKameyama is going places.
>>282380640So who out there would be a husband satisfactory to Makina's parents? Seems like a pretty narrow field if sluggas are out of the question.
>>282400900Shinkai shills everything that he watches/reads to be fair. He literally never has anything negative to say. Probably because of his position in the industry.
>>282389556He'll totally make more. It'll be great.
>>282389556What gives you that idea?
>>282390032I think the artist simply messed up. Kanata looks small compared to Akane, thus the artist developed the misconception that he is "just" really small, not realizing that Akane is really tall for a woman.
>>282393924Slug sex
So how old do you think Makina was when they put (enough of) her brain in a robot body?
>>282385702>popup shop lasts until October 31stHoly shit I'll be in Tokyo on the 29th, I can actually go there
>>282401825I want to see Kurt and Max's boss animated.
>>282393872
>>282396664>dubbed the anime into a dozen languages>can't sub the manga into one
>>282407954they ran out of budget
>>282360831
>>282390259lol perfect
>>282359994It's probably just Makina who has the brain transfer since her father has it too
>>282405275Makina is 23 years old (earth years) and I think Milky Highway/Subway takes place around the present, so she was either very small or even a baby when they made the backup.I wouldn't put past her father, a techno magnate, doing this to her daughter.>>282370155>>282370802
>>282415543I think he started making a backup of her mind since her very birth. He probably thought he was doing so for her own good and safety.
>>282415543For that matter, what's going on here as of the end, is Makina just in a coma while her body is totaled and once she's in a fresh one they'll hook the backup disk back up to her brain, or was her brain taken out and now she's pure robot like her dad?
>>282415761>>282415543*back up to her brain and add Backup Makina's memories to hers, or
>>282415761If Makina is a digital-existence, she may as well be chilling in some simulation while they make a new body for her.Or maybe her father has a standard cyborg type like in (look how similar it is to her fathers'):>>282370351And she'll be using that for the time being.Or she'll be stuck on the subway mecha body. Why? Comedy.
>>282415862Upon rewatching the episode, turns out shewas shot in the chest, not in the head like I was remembering. Her brain's fine, once the body's done they'll reattach the backup disk to her brain and she'll be on her way.
>>282415543It is about the current year >>282370857
