I'ld say that its possible that all she knows is "This was his name back then, and he was at this place."

Which would make sense, since if he was at a forum/chatgroup for scifi time travel fans/writers he would be using a handle and only refer to himself as it wehn online.

Part Timer may not KNOW that the real name is Daru. They could meet in real life, know his real name, but without that context or Daru really talking about it they would never know.

Its fairly plausible.

Well then why do episode 8 and 10 have the same title and what is a homeostatis anyway

edit: according to Wikipedia the titles are actually different and Crunchyroll is just wrong. Whatever.

I love this anime to death because I feel like I am tripping balls when I am watching it.

Very few things have ever achieved this effect.

edit: It also doesn't hurt to have great art, music, voice actors, and characters that don't piss you off. What a good show.

Yea, this an Ano Hana are the only shows where I watch the openings and ending.

Actually, both of those shows are the only ones I actively anticipate and watch as soon as they are available. I slowly make my rounds to the others.

This show's OP and ED are the weakest part of this show, and easy to skip (with the additional incentive to get to the faster).

But Ano Hana's OP and ED are incredible for that series.

Though I don't care for the ED too much either, I think the OP is great; I watch it every time. Normally, it wouldn't be my style, but I just find the singer's voice incredibly pleasant to listen to.

It's still fun to have played the game versions of some animes in advance and then watch people speculate about the anime version. There's a sort of dramatic irony to it.
Game Spoiler: Another hint as to her being Daru's daughter is her very name. It's obvious Amane Suzuha is an alias. IIRC her real name is Hashida Suzu while her father's name is obviously Hashida Itaru. So the Suzuha alias is a portmanteau of Suzu and the Ha in Hashida. Anyways all you need to know is that the Daru of 2015 differs greatly from the Daru of the present day.

GAME SPOILERS:Hashida Suzu was the alias, I thought, and Amane Suzuha was the name her mother gave her. She couldn't keep calling herself Amane Suzuha once she traveled to the farther past or it would have messed things up for her younger self when she went to work with MISTAA BRAUN. Then again I don't remember what her last name ended up being in the timelines where she never found out Daru was her dad, so maybe I'm remembering wrong? I think she was still Suzuha in the true route too, though I don't remember what her last name was that time either.

I always assumed he was early 20s. He sure doesn't look like a teenager.

He's 19. There was also dialogue of them being in elementary school during Y2K, so that fits too.

Oh right, the drinking age is 20 in Japan. When Suzuha mentioned he was underage I thought for a bit that it meant he was 17, which was a "huh..." moment.

Yeah, I read this too and spoiled myself, but this episode makes it pretty clear.

Man, what a good episode though!

I'm dense, so I don't really theorize or think about things much on my own until they're made obvious, so when Okabe was out in the rain and it showed that the 'satellite' was gone, I thought that was just about the coolest thing. Except for spoilers and theories in the thread, I didn't have a clue that Part-Time Warrior was from the future, or what that crashed thing was. So that revelation, along with Daru missing his meeting and her being there and not finding her dad, I was having a lot of fun tying things together this episode. This is such a good show!

Just watched episodes 2-10 today. Good show.

Gripes:
  • If Daru being revealed to be what he was basically just revealed to be turns out to be true... well that is totally silly because come on it's 2chan guy.

  • gently caress Kyouma for letting Feyris send a message to ten years earlier without reading it first right after figuring out just how chaotic and destructive the butterfly effect can be. At least he's got *IS A MAD SCIENTIST* to blame that on I suppose, but I'm gonna just go ahead and call it stupid.

Anyway I stand by my initial assessment that this is basically a less embarrassing Haruhi Suzumiya and it's a loving lot of fun.

Episode 11; Okabe is in deep poo poo now. Is he even going to inform the others that SERN is sending him pictures of severed heads and stuff? Seems like it'd be something you'd want to tell people. I wonder if we're going to get the story on Shining Finger soon as well, from the talk Mayuri and Okabe had, and Moekas reaction when he mentioned memory transfer seems like she's involved somehow. She was taking pics to reassure herself that she really did see what she saw if I remember, so possible she was the first candidate for the memory transfer?
