This was too much Honda shilling even for me.Why is it NEVER Toyota??
>>284116179Toyota has Initial D and MF Ghost thoAnd Subaru has... Pleiades?
Yoko's flashbacks or whatever have gotten worse since the medical check-up
>>284116179Toyota is not known for making motorcycles.
PLEASE CRY OVER... machines...
>>284116179Toyotas are boring,dependable but boring.Supra,Celica and MR2 are exceptions to corolla,starlet,hilux and land cruiser.
So they're both just having collective schizophrenic episodes at this point?And the place really was run down the whole time.
Smell?
>>284116697Neither Yoko nor Airi bathe.
Raep tiem
>:>>:)
The limiter is off
Another bot falls victim to Yoko's touch of death
>>284116179Sewing race anime WHEN??
> I aint gonna explain shit the seriesThis show is all vibe and no substance
With a Honda (tm) Super (tm) Cub (tm)(tm) you can go anywhere! Even to the Machine Afterlife!
>>284116179>Why is it NEVER Toyota??
>>284117809>Muneo HouseI was not expecting a "Rasputin The Patriot" reference or that I'd get to post this ever again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKy-lTRvXhU
The flashback just confirmed once again that it was Yoko who was driving around the circuit in the past.>Well, she will be fine. She is Yoko after all.Thanks Airi. You just confessed to being in the know.My theory about her trying to mislead Yoko is alive and well.
>>284118515I'm expecting that we'll find out that Airi is actually Big Sis
>>284115333Yugo my beloved....>>284116179Toyota is good when comes to middle east military setting
>>284118728Makes sense. The email must have originated from Airi because there is no mobile phone network for them to connect to, so Airi probably generated it on the fly. And if the Onee-chan AI is inside AI-RE then a lot of things fall into place.
even in the apocalypse you can't escape the product shilling
>>284118515She could also just trust Yoko's abilities in handling a motorbike after however long they've known each other.
>>284119456That's what Airi wants you to believe. But it is worded that way on purpose to allude to the fact that she is a clone of the original.We already know she's some sort of replication of long-haired Yoko because we as the audience have seen the flashbacks.
>>284116353Surprised she's held on to her sanity after all those hallucinations. She never thinks too hard about it, which helps.
>>284119537It was worded in a way that it alluded to her trusting her companion's abilities.
>>284113804why am I crying about vehicles and robots? wtf was this episode?
>>284117809You will rike the TOYOTA (Subaru)
How is an anime with a concept like this so dull?
Wait a minute, is this whole series a Honda ad?
Waiting for the reveal that Airi isn't real and is just another one of Yoko's dreams.
markek spotted too
also nakagami reference
>>284116465Toyota doesn't make the Supra eitherIt's a BMW/Magna-Steyr
THERE WAS A MONKEY
>>284120141This doesn't make sense, Airi has physically interacted with the world. The only way your assumption could be real is if everything is a simulation.
Did Honda also make jets?

>>284117809>SwiftUnfathomably based>>284120340Last time toyota made a "supra" they made probably the bast car of last 25 years and no one bought it so they gave up and used a decent enough platform that bmw made
This robot was human too in the end?
>>284122312no, actual roboto with digital soul
>>284122312Arnie was a person, this was a robot.
>>284122382It seems that they were all tsukumogamis...Fucking onion ninjas...
>>284122312A real human bean
>>284122539and a real hero
>>284120340No B58 even for that gray Supra.
>>284116328Maybe one day we'll get an anime where the main character rides a Yamaha.
Some of the previous episodes had some element of publicity in them, but this one was a straight shameless ad, with a tacked-on message at the end to give it some weight and legitimacy. While I don’t disagree with the overall sentiment of said message (“everything has a soul,” i.e., “we should treasure everything around us”), you will never make me sympathize with robots. Fuck them. We already have people feeling empathetic toward deep-learning tools like ChatGPT or Grok, which is retarded and annoying enough.
Last stitch.
>>284115467This show is now a 10/10
I love her smile
>everyone complaining about items having a soulYou'll love Gachiakuta
Bitch im not crying you´re the one whos crying. Its just the flu i´ve been battling with for the past week.Im not cut out for these kinds of shows
Somehow electricity returned.
>>284116179Because Honda actually tries in motorsportsToyota at best has Gazoo Racing but they dont put out as much as Honda doesAlso Toyota is more of a daily driver company.
>>284124609why does she look slightly deranged?

>>284123395You WILL buy the Honda.
>>284124825Because she's trying to hide the fact that she's fully deranged
>>284124825She lives in a dead world with nothing but a robot to keep her company. The only "human" chose death over staying with her.Please excuse her declining sanity.

>>284116179Because Toyota for god knows what reason is deathly afraid of advertising themselves in any kind of fiction.>>284125079They were steamrolling in the last regulations, but whether it was actually being good or simply being the only ones that gave a shit about those regs is a contentional topic. That said even on the current regs they are doing decently good, apart from the Le Mans where Ferrari gets a godBOP because fuck you I guess. Otherwise, right now they are roflstomping through the WRC
OH BOY isn’t this GASOLINE so much better than your pathetic solar/electric little shit yoko, i fucking love FUEL i should invest in this energy and boycott any other energy source
>>284122740>>284123473Hmmm I don't really get the ending. I know it was supposed to be deep but it's kinda cringe?Also I prefer the original ED. So gotta rewatch it on the youtubes.
>>284126414That's how you drown the GuPpies.
This show has a nice direction and visuals unfortunately i experienced the atmosphere of apocalypse hotel and the beauty of yachiyo so this show is doing nothing for me, like every episode is like this for me>airi and yoko do explore a place >they experience something cool>oh there’s still 7 minutes of episode left>get bored>episode endsIf only yoko was as sexy as yachiyo maybe it would keep my attention a bit longer
>>284126216so the clean building was an illusion?
>>284126698Maybe Yoko can bend reality or they are in a simulation.
To be honest, this is worse than other post apocalyptic shows that have aired this year.
The short haired Yoko is not real. The Yoko is actually the long haired one, and what we see as her hallucinations are actually glimpses to reality. Airi is Yoko's hallucinated stand-in for big-sis who is with her and is really her friend/caretaker/something.Also an apocalypse of any kind never happened, they still live in the 2020's, and all is well apart form Yoko's mental landscape. There never were underground shelters, advanced robots or AI.The cake is a lie.
>>284113804This post apocalyptic world doesn't make sense, is like all humans simply vanished one second to the other while they were just having a regular day, they better come up with a really good explanation for that because other than a "rapture" kind of event the setting just doesn't fit.
>>284126998Posting this garbo doesn't help your argument though.
>>284126098>robobrosShortened robros
>>284127743My theory is that short-haired Yoko is a copy/clone that somehow retained some of the original’s memories on a subconscious level.
>>284126435>Hmmm I don't really get the endingEvery machine developed a "soul", so much that they created a physical illusion (everything was sparkling clean till the moment every "soul" left their body) while they were waiting for someone to come, and wanted them to enjoy the museum at least once again.
>>284128023The implication is that at some point mankind started living in bunkers, which is where Yoko grew up before coming outside. Everyone else is either still stuck down there, living in different bunkers, or already died from running out of resources or whatever.
>>284126435>Hmmm I don't really get the ending.You meet the nicest people on a Honda
>>284128023>all humans simply vanishedNot exactly.
>>284128023The apocalypse isn't real.
>>284126670The problem with this show, compared to something like Apocalypse Hotel, is that it is first and foremost tourism and Honda advertising. So every episode has to include the mandatory Honda shilling and the obligatory info-dump about the location that YOU, lucky guy living in a period when these sites are still intact, can visit. Which is a shame, because the backstory is interesting (although a lot of that appeal comes from how vague the whole thing is) and the stuff about Yoko’s past is intriguing, but they’re given only a very small amount of screen time, to the point that it’s kinda hard to care.
>>284128486I gotta say, most of the tourist infodumps are boring, it only serves as filler between the story chapters. The best bits are when they actually do something you can only do in a pos-apocalyptic world, like ride the Serow somewhere they would never be allowed today, or the ones where the tourist trap is just a background for something else that's going on, like in Akiba.
redpill me on this anime
Gotta have the next PRODUCT PLACEMENT section. Taco bell Taco bellShe instinctively hid behind her adorable dorkbot.They better mention the supercub in this section. It's probably still their best selling vehicle to date, over 100 million unit produced.Motocompo and pairing City car.The robots get to work while the human dozes off.Cute dorks all dressed up.Would slicks be a good idea on a track that dirty? Wouldn't the moss on the track behave like grass clippings and down she'd go?Would she understand the concept of a hand clutch? Pretty sure she just twists to go on her electric bike.Gay, the modern NSX is a fugly disgrace compared to the old one.Robots can smell?>Implying that gay bev appliance has any soul.RIP IssacHow much did Honda pay for this product placement? Interesting she still rides a Yamaha.Good episode.
>>284128256I get that might be the case but I mean the outside world, where are the bodies? You even have the tower scene where it seemed that people were waiting for something at the top yet, nothing, and whatever happened it didn't happen a long time ago.>>284128302This would raise more questions than answers but first I would ask for more evidence of it.>>284128363A simulation might be it but I wouldn't like it, I will propose something that just occurred to me, actually the entire place is filled with bodies but Yoko's mind is ignoring them and Airi is just simply not talking about it.
>not enjoying tourism segmentsYou have no soul.
>>284128868>Wouldn't the moss on the track behave like grass clippings and down she'd go?She knows how to ride, she's not some retard boomer.>Would she understand the concept of a hand clutch? Pretty sure she just twists to go on her electric bike.The Serow still has the clutch, you can see her using it every now and then, at least in the manga.>How much did Honda pay for this product placement? That's the neat part.
>>284128886She's just hallucinating the entire apocalypse thing, it never happened.
>>284128886>where are the bodies?Animals, regular-ass decay. The buildings are pretty overgrown, looks like it's been at least a decade since the fall. More than enough for nature to reclaim a body, at the very least.
>>284129045Who is eating the bones?

>>284132840inb4 nail edit
>>284132305I kinda love that this became a niche /a/ meme. I hope it sticks for every starry sky scene for years to come.
>>284132976i'll never forget them
>>284125683>>284126414It's too late. Yoko took the wrong path. Her senses have been dyed in taste and smell of gasoline exhaust. Her seating posture has taken the shape of a 500cc 2-stroke V4 engine. She won't be able to go back anymore.
airi and youko wiffed some of the fumes of the funky old gas and had a shared delusion (airi has receptors to get zooted off her shit from fumes) of the circuit coming back to life and youko's more sensitive flesh body reacted more and had extra hallucinations that airi didn't havesource(s): dude trust me
Toasters have feelings too.
>>284133971Yoooouko!I just need an episode of airin saying this with differend inflections and tones. I promise I'll buy merch and shit afterwarads, just make it happen.

>>284116676>>284117786I'm finding the idea of a whole auto museum of Tsukumogami very appealing
Pretty good episode.
>>284132840
>>284132477Not credited
I feel like this episode could've been an Assetto Corsa mod and it would've been cheaper.
This episode feels like the last ep. It would have been a good way to end S1.
>>284135739It's the spot where it would have ended on an axe.
Remember Akiba DJ Taro?He wrote "I am glad to have made it in time" this means he knew he was about to die of something.In the ED of the episode we can see Taro sitting at the Jiro's desk, so he was alive for some time while the apocalypse was going down.In my mind the timeline is as follows:1) Developments in technology, including robots, cyborgs, space development2) space war during which bunkers were built3) natural disasters (Fuji erupted) caused by the war4) deployment of bioweapons that kill every human over time and leave no traceThis would explain why there are no dead bodies anywhere but the fortified house. That body there didn't decompose enough yet because it didn't die of the unknown bioweapon. The bioweapon might not be a bioweapon, it might be the standard "nanomachines son". Something about Yoko is weird too, she heals too quickly. So she probably has nanomachines counteracting whatever is in the air killing humans.This is how I make sense of this world right now.
>>284115415>Level 1: Ride a bike>Level 2: Watch a character in an anime ride a bike>Level 3: Watch a character in anime go to a museum to watch bikes
>>284128886>where are the bodies?t. Speedwatcher-kun >>284128302
>>284128910He thinks "LOL TANUKI'S ARE SHITTING EVERYWHERE NOW LAUGH" was good
>>284135994There's not been any visual clues suggesting the use of bioweapons. Radiation, yes, though what the source of this was can't be determined. Could simply be residual leakage from the hundreds of decommissioned but unstaffed nuclear reactors around the world.People also forget the cracked moon and the several depicted occasions of impossibly heavy meteor showers. The prospect of widespread impacts from this would be enough to send whole populations into bunkers (if not trigger volcanic activity), those who could fit anyway, but there's more than enough evidence present for survivors who died on the surface from whatever causes; downed airplanes, beached subs, etc.
>>284134275you could easily ask chatgpt to write a script that search for all moments with "Yoko" in subs, clip these moments and then merge them into 1 video

Vulva
>>284114930Very exciting.
>>284137034>Radiation, yesWhere? The only hints is>Use of tanks>Orbital "laser" attacks>A big hole on the moonUnless I speedwatched it, there is no zone where radiation is even mentioned. The only thing would be those gigantic animals, but then again, we don´t know how much time has passed since the "war" (or whatever it was)
>>284139593In the very first episode, the AI in the tank was going on about millisieverts. It went on about how it was too high and very dangerous. That's a measurement of radiation, in case you're not aware.
>>284139593Tank-kun was broadcasting something about radiation levels in the first episode.
>>284139593The tank said something about radiation and they checked their drinking water for radiation.However nothing indicates that everything is currently irradiated if it ever were. The tank could've malfunctioned and told incorrect readings and checking the water for everything doesn't automatically mean they were expecting anything.
>>284126670>>284128486yeah, that's kinda how I feel about this show. I still enjoy it, but its less pure kino, more SOL tourism to have on in the background.The premise was definitely the draw to watch, but its unfair to compare it to the AOTY that is Apoc Hotel.
>>284139754It seems to me that is running a check on any potential hazards?
>>284138783Girls like piston engines.
>THE SHOWER HAT WASN'T THERE AND I LAUGHED AND BASED FACED SO HARD THE BULL TOLD ME TO SHUT UP AS I WAS DISTRACTING HIM FROM FUCKING MY WIFEDo Tanuki shitters really?
>>284140342It tired to give a reading possibly in hundreds of mSv/h but as was mentioned before, it was clearly malfunctioning so it shouldn't be considered a ground truth.
>>284138049HONDA
One of the best Honda ads I've ever seen, desu. Right up there with "you meet the nicest people on a Honda"
>>284139754What kind of radiation would melt people to the bone without melting animals and any structure around?
You know, maybe Airi letting a severely mentally ill girl ride a 500cc motorbike wasn't a great idea in hindsight.
>>284147477On the contrary, I think Yoko has what it takes to ride a motorcycle.
>>284119785She doesn't think too hard about anything. That's her secret.
>>284116676I think Airi is just going along with whatever the voices in Yoko's head tell her to do.
>>284116788She's been dragging this dead robot around and talking to it for two days...
>>284118728I think Airi is actually just Airi. Big sis is probably still at the bunker, either as an older woman or having uploaded herself into a computer.
>>284147872Don't believe her lies.
>>284124911There's a brief shot right after the hallucination/vehicle souls disappear that's close.
>>284126474Federation rules say we've got to use the original engine designs, no matter how inefficient they are...

>Straight up 5 whole minutes of screentime completely wasted on an extremely arduous, drawn-out sentimental moment for a Honda museum that didnt even land, visualized entirely as just floating lights with a painfully sappy insert song Actual dogshit. So much time poured into that lame, boring moment. Just hit the dream twist and cut to ED for fuck's sake. There is no way they actually thought that was THAT good. This shit is worse than Mono. Rest of the episode was fun though
