Dead show. Dead thread. Dead replica.

>>287909945I love that you can immediately tell them apart by their expression
I'll have my replica watch the episode now.
>>287909945God, Sunao is so hot.
>>287909945resting bitch face sunao
Dreaming replica.No electric sheep
>>287909858I'm still watching this but it turned out to be a disappointment
>>287910197>first time she gets a good night sleep in her entire existence>has a nice dream>makes her want to kill herself
>>287909945nao>shows emotion>CUTE! >doesnt smell like a sweaty gym sock>CUTE!>taller? could just be closer>CUTE!sunao>resting bitch face>probably hasnt showered in days>no friends>dumb
>>287909878I like the implication that her head ended up right next to her legsShe probably got completely mangled.
>>287910396Truly living is suffering.
After this episode no one should doubt Sunao was best girl all along
>>287910537Nao has to shower after every summoning. Because she copies the neet body of Sunao.
>>287910576shut up, sunao
>>287910561Nao a slut who does the nasty with her kareshi every break.Sunao a pure, sheltered princess who hasn't seen a boy in months.
That was a good final episode; it ended a bit earlier than the rest of the season, but I'd still give it a 7.5/10.
>>287910537>taller? could just be closerSunao probably slouches when you think about it.She is also slobbier not that I look closer. Despite the trauma, Nao still took the time to fix her hair before opening the door.
Nao is such a selfish bitch, she just lost one of Sunao's uniforms and literally the next day she wanted to lose another one, why doesn't she ever thinks about how her actions will affect Sunao?
>>287910561>「私の代わりにパパ活してきてよ」と言われてしまったナオたそNips truly are just like us
>>287910675
damn the episode went by so fast
>>287910576idk if she just gave the wrong impression in the beginning, but she mellowed out in the last few episodes
>>287910675replicas can have women moments too
>>287909858Her shirt matches her eyes.
>>287910798god I wish nao would get that close to me, look me deadpan in the eyes and jerk me off
BDSM
>>287910798What a slut
She said the thing!
>>287910847...while whispering how she'll kill you if you tell anyone about this
Is this Yuri?
Were there any cute hair animations in this one??
>>287910897
>>287910993I wish. Selfcest yuri is a tragically underexplored concept.
>>287911068spoiler that shit, this is a blue board
>>287910897where endcredits ?
The noises she made while remembering her death were pretty hot
End of episode felt like the show had ended, it caught me off-guard.What is there even left to explore? I kind of want the rest of the season to just be silly replica hijinks.
>>287910899
>>287910576It was nice to see that she cares
>>287911129>>287911157It feels like this story was conceptualized as a feature-length movie and not part of a TV anime with how focused these 5 episodes have been. If these 5 episodes were one standalone movie and this were the end of the story, I think that movie would be remembered for a long time as a cult classic. But I guess we have a new(?) story to tell with that girl in the hospital from the post-credits scene. It'll be interesting to see where they take this from here.
>>287910675You're right. She should have stripped naked.
>>287911158kek
>>287911294me on the right
Great episode, great series so far, this is the hidden gem of the season.
>>287911158lel
If quantum superposition taught me anything, the wave function should collapse after she got hit. How the fuck is she alive????
>>287911380Turns out this anime isn't really that deep.
>>287911354Studio only have 3 titles and ALL hidden GEMS anyway DATE Schizuko

>>287911380She's alive because Sunao is alive.
THAT'S THE NAME OF THE ANIMETHIS IS SO FVCKING KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i watched ep5 before magic hats ep4(of 6) its truly better anime
And they lived happily ever after!Well this was a great 5-episode OVA. And here I thought they don't make anime like this shit anymore.You doomerfags got me. I really thought this anime would be a sad one, like Saikano or Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu. Y'all just lying at my poor heart.
So, Ricchan writing stories about doppelgangers was her trying to get Nao to come clean about the whole deal, right?
>>287909878Where's the pantsu?
>>287912407She wears the ones she spawns with
>>287912407Next to her spleen probably
>>287911157>>287911210>>287912124That's light-novel adaptions for you. Presumably this was the end of the first book and next episode will be the beginning of the sequel. For light-novel adaptions usually each book is adapted into 4 episodes, or occasionally 3. The season is 13 episodes long so presumably book 2 and 3 will get 4 episodes each.
Red panda bros, isn't this a good episode or what?Who said a replica can't surpass an original?
MYSTERY NIGGA
>>287912919Both are cute.... would both
>>287912857This ending with a title drop makes me think it was planned as a single volume story since it's kind of a weird premise but it got popular enough to get stretched out, even so I think this has like 5 or 6 volumes in total do it still ended up being a short story
>>287911019Is this a good show for hair?

Sleeping Sunao was really cute, I just want to cuddle next to her all night long
>>287914185I'd want to cum on her hair while she sleeps as a joke ahahah
>>287912980>"They've started dating? Deploy the homewrecker."
I can't believe the fucking killed NaoWhat's the show supposed to be about now
>>287914312pandas
>>287914299kek
>>287914312Isekai about dead Nao featuring all the other disappeared Naos.
Sunao needs to cuck Aki and seize Nao for herself
What we learned in Episode 5:>Replicas can dream>Replicas can't die>Replicas can fall in loveWhat we'll learn in episode 6 is still hidden in the light novel.This is "Replica datte, Koi wo Suru."
>>287914823We now know Nao can do breathplay risk free
I watched it.
>>287914823We also know for certain that Sunao can despawn Nao remotely, so she could have vanished from the zoo date at any time.
>>287914823we also learned that originals can't feel if their replica dies
But who was coma girl?
>>287914823We learned that replicas are the friends we made along the way.
>>287914823We also learned that Sunao is best girl
What an absolute nothingburger of a character. She is so pathetically one-dimensional it's not even funny. A big moment finally happens, she has her existential crisis - which is immediately solved in 6 minutes of screen time and less than a day in-universe, all thanks to another replica saying that he loves her. The guy who intended to kill her lover and killed her instead? She will just say "hue hue you're lucky you killed me instead of him" and that's fucking it, I won't be surprised if he never even appears again.In 5 episodes she had zero good interactions with anyone, there's nothing even remotely interesting about her, it's all about "she is sweet", "she is cute" this sort of trivial shit. I was hoping for some conflict with Sunao, but even that didn't happen, everything got resolved by itself.I am mad because I thought this show had potential. But the author doesn't use drama for anything meaningful, it's simply there as an obstacle to show more cutesy brainless stuff.
>>287915319Sunao is kind of an idiot who assumed she was creating some soulless non-conscious golem and so treated it like a slave. It took a single obvious question of "do you feel pain" for her to realize she was creating a conscious sentient separate person.
>>287915368Shame she wasn't a lezzie
>>287914182So what do we do for the rest of the episodes?
>>287914823>>Replicas can't dieThey can't die but they can get killed.
>>287915818Replicas... don't die when they're killed?
>>287915818
>>287909858Jesus Christ it's been a while since a show's had me in my feels so deeply. It probably doesn't help that I rewatched 2049 over the weekened, but every fucking week the Replicas have been pulling at my heartstrings.
>>287912857>Presumably this was the end of the first bookit was. I still clapped.Bravo Nolan
>>287914823Next question to answer is:>Can Replicas get pregnant?
How does Sunao feel about Nao getting a bf before her?
How much can you really feel when you're run over by a train? Wouldn't it basically be over in a second?
>>287916970If it's going full speed yes, but if it's arriving at the station is already slowing down a lot so there's a good chance the impact doesn't instantly kills you and instead you end up under it and torn to pieces by the wheels, or if you get caught between the train and the platform you might get spun around
I held out on /a/ discourse because I didn't wanted to get spoiled and had some small hope that these clones were imaginary with the boy and girl having severe brain problems. (or another one of those chuunibyou to the extreme shows)But by now it's pretty hard to frame the train death as either "did not happen" or the girl is dead and ... the boy thinks she isn't.Ehhh forget it, it would have been too clever/difficult to write anyways.Let's see where it goes from here.
>>287916970It's not like anyone can answer.
>>287917076There is nothing clever in your idea, bro.
>>287916970>>287917048Pretty sure there are many cases of people getting recked by trains but not instantly dying. They still die but only after agonizing for what must feel like an eternity.
>>287917103Clever might not be the word I'm looking for, but characters dealing with mental problems is always interesting to me.Instead apparently this is a world/universe where magical clones exist, so just roll with that.This is not critique, but the first few episodes reminded me a bit of Anohana where in the beginning everyone doubts the MC's delusions, and then 10 episodes later utensils are floating through the air.
>>287917176I think I read a doujin recently that ended with the girl getting hit by a train, not really sure why was that in a porn site sonce it wasn't porn at all
>>287917208Are Sunao's depression and Nao's self-loathing not mental problems?
okay im going to sleep i keep my replica watching this thread... dont die
>>287917391your replica dates anons behind your back.
>so this guy just tried to push my boyfriend out in front of a train but now I've scared him a little it's probably fineGod I hate women.
>>287918056I mean, he literally murdered her and now she's walking around like nothing happened. I'd shit bricks and stay far away from the zombie-yandere thing and her boyfriend after that
>>287918176Maybe they can challenge him to a basketball rematch with the condition that he apologizes for murdering her if she wins.
>>287917915can confirm, anon's replica is a girl and she licked my ears while giving me a handjob
>>287916862baffles me how sunao is this stupid>nao gets her a dorky friend at the lit club who just likes having someone to tlak to>ew gross, dont talk to me>nao gets her a cute jock or at least his replica>ugh, I guess you existstupid neet bitch
>>287918056>>287918176If this doesn't get a follow up down the line where he eventually figures out he killed her "twin sister" it's a bit lame.
Sunao might develop a pleasure for pain because of this, you hear about it all the time.
>>287918176Yes, but even if he probably isn't going to try it again, that doesn't change the fact that he attempted to murder her boyfriend and inadvertantly killed her instead. The complete lack of a natural sense of justice and the prioritization of social harmony just screams female author. Obviously this is shoujo so I guess I can't complain.
>>287918341Damn, I keep making this mistake, why did they name the original "TWOnao" and the copy one "nao".
Damn, can't believe this was the last episode.It was fun, lads.
>>287916970One of the many indian haters on this website might have a webm showing a guy with only his upper half body, holding onto a train for a few seconds of shock before losing consciousness and dying. I had the displeasure of seeing it once.
there could be replicas ITT and we'll never know
>>287918372Is this your first contact with the japanese or something? They are all like that. >>287918373The way I understand it, Sunao means honest. The "su" is your true self and the "nao" is straightforward. In a way, Nao is not a person, she is the true Sunao but not the real Sunao.
For the look of it Replicas do work like regular people including natural bodily functions, meaning that she can in fact get pregnant, but once the original make you disappear everything that came from you also disappear, that raises many questions, like for example, if Nao is allowed to give birth and Sunao make her disappear, does the baby also disappear? And what about eating Nao, if Sunao make her disappear, do you suddenly lose all of the nutrients and filling you had?
How will Sunao's parents respond when they find out they actually have twins and that their honor student daughter is actually a smelly neet?
>>287918970Are replicas the ultimate carbon sink?
I can't watch the episode now. I will ask my replica to keep the thread alive until then.
Best romance of the season after this episode. I'm surprise but so happy to be. Even though this season is stack with romance and I had high hope for 2nd banme this show is so fucking good. Doesn't even need any fancy animation.
>>287909945Threesome is possible right? Shuya can watch I guess.
>>287910576Sunao is worst Nao. But still a good girl after her redemption.
>>287911311How long do you still have until Shuya off you and steal Nao?
>>287911904They are the same person!
>>287912919But you are the original panda!
>>287918970Have we really gone from wanting to rape Nao to wanting to vore her in less than half a season?
>>287919530Hey, you could end famine like this, imagine sending a Nao to all the poor places of the world.
>>287909858so many shows this season really need to start watching this one as well>>287911888damn it anon
My replica probably has a family...
[ankle clattering] MY CLONE GETS A CUTE GF BEFORE ME
>>287919530>rape NaoI want to be raped by Nao.
>>287914823>there are fellow Dorohedoro fans in my Replica threadsdangerously based
>>287916862But Sunao already does.
Nao is pregnant with our child.
>>287911294Okay! Show's over! Good job everybody. Nice show, really sweet, kind of short. Certainly all loose ends are wrapped up and we have a happy ending! There will be no more ep>post credits stingerOh god dammit.
like tears in the rain
>>287922251I would definitely welcome a pregnancy arc just to see how would it affect a replica
Can this get even more formulaic? How can you take a premise involving a clone created at will at any time and turn it into such a soulless "romance" with such empty characters?
Like I get its a different world with different standards but I feel like the murder was kind of glossed over.
>>287922734no body was found so...
right now tulpa the animation is aots contender
>>287922911Right now it's a contender for the best show that airs on Tuesdays before 00:00 JST of the season.
>>2879229602banme airs on Tuesdays too so not even that.
>>2879232542banme's ok at best.
>>287923254>liking 2banmeLMAO
>>287923329Which is still better than Replica.
My impression is that this is a show you would only watch if you watched literally everything this season.
>>287911019>>No RepliesI guess not this week, huh?
Honestly she took her dead really well. I actually expected her to scream in agony.
By me.
>>287923585>when the spermatozoon hits the ovule
Holy shit. The noise she made here was really hot.
So the next story will follow this pair, huh? There's also that pink haired girl.
It's definitely my surprise of the season. Hopefully the next pair will be as good and we can still see Nao.
>>287923254Now that's some good bait right there
>>287913342As I recall, the author wrote the first light novel as a contest submission. I've read the first four and personally, I thought it was the weakest in the series so there's more to look forward to!>>287915329I love the series, but this is a pretty fair complaint. The themes that the story focuses on feel like they would be better explored in a full length novel instead of light novels. Problems end up getting resolved pretty quickly because each installment is only about 180-200 pages.
>>287923572anon she tried to kill herself
>>287918056Stuck between feeling like it’s annoying and it’s realistic because a huge increasing problem we have is women not comprehending danger.
>>287924023I'm looking forward to it now, anon. My replica will hunt you if it turns out to be wrong!
Why doesn't Nao just become an extreme athlete "that cannot die", her stunts would make her an internet sensation.
>>287924447Maybe on snuff sites
Imagine getting to double team Sunao and Nao.
>>287924481Me and who?
>>287924807Your replica of course.
sex with nao
>>287925041Asphyxation sex with Nao
For me it’s Sunao
What a beautiful dreamI had a dream last night that I had a pet lion, at first I was scared but he was very friendly and cuddly
>murder a bitch>go to school like normal the next day>wonder why no one's talking about your epic crimeNot Shinji's brightest moment
Really like how they're continuing to explore the psychological horror from a different angle each week
Wew she's fucking ride or die
Why is she in a washing machine?
>>287925393NICE
>no footprintsReminds me of the MSN Messenger days, one of the girls in my school had some corny quote as her status that went something like "people come and go but only a friend leaves footprints in your heart"
But it's pretty inconsiderate of Nao to make Sunao lose two sets of clothes and shoes in as many days
I feel like there must be at least half a dozen Japanese movies I could point to as a reference for this scene, like walking into the ocean is some bizarre cultural touchstone of theirs
Do people really die if they're killed?
>>287925448Yeah, but not this bitchShe doesn't even realise that Sunao could resummon her at any time after her suicide
I don't think I've ever seen such existential dread in an anime
The whole lovers' suicide thing is definitely a cultural touchstone, and if you ask me it's a wholly unnecessary one, thanks a lot Dazai
In between the intense Goslinging I can't help but wonder how far out they are and how shallow this beach is
>>287925493Kek, same.
Looks like Aki paused to take his shoes off before chasing Nao into the water
I think I was probably not meant to laugh at this
Romantic, but could also lead to one hell of a toxic relationshipDo NOT become a suicidal girl's reason to live
>>287925448That's not a person, so it's okay.
>>287925471Drowning is apparently historically popular suicide method in Japan. Not as popular as hanging though. But infinitely more romantic.
Dude's phone has fantastic water resistanceAlso they just spilled the beans about the two of them being replica freaks
Well shit, but if I had a friend who was that drastically different from day to day I'd think he was nuts, not that he was a tulpa
>"I am your boyfriend, aren't I?">*laughs*Oof
I'm genuinely happy that Sunao and Ricchan are reconnecting
If two replicas had a child, would *it* be a real boy?
Both their outfits are basically borrowed though so it's not like they're actually complimenting each other's fashion sense
Bravo Nolan
>>287925586I feel like this is shaming me
Pretty curious to see where this show will go from here, I wonder if it'll move on entirely to some other replica girl. Nao and co seem to be in a pretty good spot now and I just want them to be happy without any further drama or suffering
>>287911380Schrodinger's replica>>287917208I was also firmly in the camp that Menma was a delusion and not an actual fucking ghost but unfortunately Okada is a hack>>287925592If even a replica can do it then what's your excuse?
>>287925592At least my replica can be happy.
>>287925526Yeah, at least two of Dazai's suicide attempts (including the final, successful one) were by drowning, and both times were with a loverI think drowning rated pretty highly on the suicide pain scale though, I don't think I'd want to go that route
>>287925493It made me think of 'that' scene in FF7 with the shallow pool that becomes a huge abyss in the next shot.
>fuck nao raw every night>have sunao erase her and bring her back>never need to worry about pregnancyOR>fuck sunao raw>wait 9 months>have her bring out nao and induce labor>infinite babieswhich way, /a/?
>>287925996>clone babiessasuga anon-chama
>>287922734it probably turned into a hell of a ghost story.People saw a girl fall in. CCTV would definitely show a girl falling in. There's bloody, torn clothes on the tracks....but no body anywhere.
>>287925374>steal everyone's presents and decorations>listen for the cries of disappointment the next day>wtf they're singing??
>>287925374>Shinjibro I knew I saw that shitty mossy tako hair somewhere else lmao, same sore faggot personality too. Needs to be a bit more rapey
>>287925458This is what I like so much about the story. I've read or watched other stuff that had doppelgangers or tulpas, but this is the first time I've seen the perspective of the replica explored.Nao is her own person, different from Sunao because even though she's a copy, she's lived a different life from Sunao. Yet her entire existence is at Sunao's whim who could wink her in and out of existence whenever she feels like it. And since she's a copy, her life isn't really her own. Her early memories are really Sunao's, she has to borrow all of Sunao's stuff, and her body is a copy of Sunao's.
If you were a replica, how would you ensure you never vanish? you can't kill the original btw.
>>287922251>>287923585>>287923614>>287925393So was this the "recoil" from acting mean and tough and semi-threaten a dude, or .... ? And if she doesn't need to eat how can she .... blegh
>>287926974I think she just recalled the memories when she got hit by the train.
>>287926974Talking to her murderer understandably made her a bit nervous
i want DATE REPLICAS
>>287927644They aren't real people THOUGH
>>287927736They're real enough to me.
>>287927736imagine the possibilities of hard seggs....
>>287927644Bear bear bear bear bear.
>>287925996>Impregnate Sunao>Make her summon Nao>Let Nao stay for 9 months so she can feel the baby growing inside of her>Despawn her as soon as Sunao goes into labor>Summon her again after the baby is born and enjoy Nao's reaction as she realizes her womb is empty and "her" baby is gone forever
>>287925471QRD on the guy?
>>287925551"Secret twin" would be a somewhat reasonable assumption if you spend enough time to figure out one doesn't know things the other would.
>>287929350I feel Nao would murder Sunao for it.
>>287925579She could have bought it with her 193,430 yen. And Sunao has opened up to letting Nao live her own life so she doesn't have to hide it anymore.
>>287925592Can Replica have sex ?Can Replica create write a sympony ?Can Replica beat Dark Souls 1 no hit ?
>>287929455Do you think if a replica murders the original they can take their place?
>>287930815Killing the original might despawn the replica.
Nao's a bit boring, give me more Sunao
>>287930815it's either>kill original, replica despawns right away>kill original, replica stays alive but if the replica dies no one can can respawn replica so replica effectively on last life

What if Sunao is actually a replica of an original and Nao is a replica of a replica and the reason Sunao didn't trust Nao at first is because she killed the original and though Nao would kill her?
>>287932696We who strive upwards are constantly killing our old selves to replace them with the replica of our ideal selves

>>287930815What >>287932619 says, either way the replica is no longer immortal. In fact, it's the only way to take a replica's immortality away.
>>287936491but it COULD BE this>>287932696 maybe everytime the replica kills the original and becomes the new original then a new replica spawns
>>287936810It can't be for an extremely simple reason: Nao can read Sunao's memories.
>>287936829She killed true original Sunao in her sleep, and then took over from there going from replicate to original and so Nao can't read the pre-original memories of the murder, it was just a seemless night to her. Also it seems replicants don't really understand the original's motives or emotional feeling. We just don't know for sure!

>>287929350Why do you want to see Nao suffer?
For a person with ambition a replica could be a very strong advantage
>>287939989And a very strong liability if the replica starts getting funny ideas.
