| The little robot that arrived at Takuma's home is kinda creepy. Also, it seems he has some bad habits with food when Mina is not around. Jokes aside, glad to see Senju showing up this episode. Mina is of course back to taking care of Takuma again. He really does need her help around the house lul |
 |
| Takuma is really starting to have a family now that Mina is back home and now that they are joined by a little robot. |
| Little bit disappointed that nothing really changed about Mina after all that build up and 2 weeks away, I appreciate one of the points in the end was Mina realising Takuma liked her the way she was so she didn't want to change too much, but there could have been more to show for it than something that temporarily makes her taller. Maybe having more sensors in her face for little kisses or having a slightly less robotic appearance in arms/ legs. Overall a good episode though and the series continues to deliver on the comfy and wholesome front. |
 |
| I have to say this episode was a huge letdown. Three weeks of buildup to give Mina a ladder. |
| Mamoru kinda reminds me of the worm son from Eraserhead, but a lot more endearing. |
| Very pleased to see that Mina didn't change much and visibly basically not at all (except when modifying height) and transitioning between the original and new height modes (at least as far as what has been revealed thus far), since most of the installed upgrades are confined to internal parts to improve functionality and efficiency in more subtle and less visible ways. Were I Takuma I also would have wanted Mina to remain the same at least on the outside, and her as she originally appeared is the being he fell in love with. It also sends a positive message that more superficial qualities of external appearance are not what strengthen and allow love to survive and thrive. And apart from the lives of the two concerned, on a meta writing level, I also just dislike when main characters undergo radical changes after a few episodes or every few episodes. |

| Ngl I was pretty disappointed with the “upgrades” Mina got after all that build up. I was thinking we’d get something that would bring her to the level of expressiveness she shows in the ED visuals, but instead it’s just lips for delicate kisses and a ladder basically lol? I mean fair enough maybe it’ll be a gradual process of her upgrading over time which also makes sense, but man they were teasing it like it was gonna be something really good. Mamoru actually ended up being the best part of the episode because I mean like the guy! He’s adorable. Cute fella checking Takuma’s vitals was so sweet. He’s like a little metal bundle of joy, and adopting him as their de facto kid is gonna be funny 😂 Who would’ve guessed Takuma was into tall dommy thick women too. Bro damn near went feral when Mina transformed lmao |

| When Mina wasn't there, I thought for a second that old Snake Eyes was going to get horny over the egg, but he's not that far gone... yet. As much as I normally despise the kiss cockblock cliche, it was hilarious to see him get interrupted by the technician. Mina is back with some functionality upgrades, but criminally, no punipuni. The height upgrade is already being put to good use, at least. Instead, we get Mamoru, some kind of health monitoring robot. Seems like it would be pretty useful if not for Mina fucking up its routines. Of course, Takuma sees this defect as endearing and takes on the robot as his "child..." Shinzo Abe, haunt this fool. I'm not quite feeling the addition of a "child" to the roster. The last romance anime I watched took a nosedive when a random kid decided to walk in off the streets. |

| Lol. It's nice that Takuma chose to take advantage of his wife not being home by eating instant ramen and unhealthy snacks. It's wild to me that the robot wouldn't let his master indulge in this stuff from time to time. However I think Takuma is also the type who wouldn't disobey his robot/wife. His days without Mina weren't as bad as I thought they'd be. So, Mina was the one who ordered that little robot chicken thing and controlled it remotely to take care of Takuma. Pretty genius move tbh. I thought that was all there was to that small robot. I'm just glad that the new robot doesn't have an annoying voice. This episode was actually kinda nice. The way he was "conceived" sounds like BS but they had to make up something to make the robot related to Mina/Takuma somehow. "It's not a bug, it's a feature." It's a bit strange that these types of bugs can just happen and the company seems oblivious/indifferent to them. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was disappointed by Mina's "upgrade." Tho I lowkey expected something like this might happen. Ig Mina will have expressions only in OP/ED or promotional materials. I'm not opposed to the idea of Mina upgrading herself bit by bit. Even if it changes her appearance. After giving some thought, I can sort of understand why Takuma didn't want Mina to change. But I thought it was the inside that mattered? Guess not. Welp. Her being able to become tall on command is cool but it sucks that her waterproofing level downgraded. Can she still go to water in her small form? Doubt it. It's cute that Mamoru is basically childlike. But having a robot child is a concept that always bugged me. Wife or girlfriend I can sort of see. But a child? The only type of people I can see "adopting" a child robot are those who are compensating for a lost child. It's just sad. One of the things that children do is grow up. A robot child may grow up mentally but not physically. Not unless the owner "upgrades" its parts which I don't think is something Takuma is interested in. So, I wonder what he's gonna do with it. Either way, Mamoru doesn't seem like the annoying type I original anticipated. Hopefully, he won't be annoying in future episodes. |

| @Marinate1016 No, she didn't even get the lips. |
That makes it even worse then. |
|
| Mina returned; I hope those aren’t all her updates. If so, that’s a total disappointment. I understand that Mina wanted to keep everything the same on the outside since Takuma likes her as she is, but that’s an excuse since it’s a fetish for him. In any case, the new robot, Mamoru, was a lovely addition. |
 |
| Absolutely love Mina's ongoing need to tell us how water proof she is. Let her snorkle |
I enjoyed this episode, especially now that Mina-chan has the ability to shrink and grow. It's a really interesting concept! <3 |
| Although most here are disappointed in the lack of changes with the upgraded Mina, personally I’m glad she stayed mostly the same, she just got big mode now lol. Yeah I get with three episodes of buildup you’d think something more drastic would change, but like Takuma, I already loved Mina the way she was and feared that a big change would make her like a different person/character, so instead of being disappointed I’m more relieved lol. And plus, the big mode is pretty cool, it gave her wider hips which Takuma was quick to figure out lol. But, big Mina wasn’t the only new thing this episode, we finally met Mamoru and I was right in thinking it would be their kid, but what I wasn’t sure about is how they came about making it their kid, well accidentally making it have a personality works lol, and I gotta say it’s pretty cute too, the voice isn’t annoying either, I just hope he can stay cute and not become annoying over time. And it’s interesting that Mamoru’s original purpose is to check on old folks, that is probably gonna be all of us in the future which I hate to admit lol. |
| "Defective" wife has a "defective" child :D So sweet. Was fearing the "kid" would be annoying, but seems cute. |
| I don't know how I feel about a robo child. Mamoru could have been as cute just the same as more of a pet where he isnt clever enough to be considered equal to Mina but a child in that form ehh it just feels like a hindrance to romance especially when the bond between Mina and Takuma doesnt entirely feel equal yet. While it is clear Mina feels she still doesnt really get human emotions, she doesnt even really give a shit about the little guy and Takuma is just coming off delusional a bit even though I do get why he sees it like a child since some part of Mina transferred into it. Mina THICC mode. Marinate1016 said: That makes it even worse then. It's going to bug me if we never see Takuma kiss Mina's eyelids since that is only place on her face she has sensitive sensors.

| Yeah I was also disappointed with the lack of upgrades as I figured Mina would've gotten sensitivity upgrades installed around her face and lips for kisses but it seems the main upgrade was a height adjustment (maybe another upgrade will be revealed later). Also, I think it's kind of weird that Takuma suddenly thinks that Mamoru is like their kid and doesn't want him reprogrammed.... ok then. But then again he sees Mina as his wife so 🤷. |
| Welp, Takuma may have his freedom back for quite the temporary while...but a robot from the same manufacturer? The small robot of Minamorious 3 sent from Mina as her temporary replacement to oversee Takuma, it may not have the same workings as the full robot, but it can at least sense human factors and teach Takuma about how she always cooks her stuff to him, now that he has to prepare it himself, and then some over the coming 2 weeks without her. As it turns out, Mina just wants to surprise him by telling him the wrong day that she'll return, and came back with the minimal upgrades of the facial treatment that he desperately wanted of her. He exepcted a kiss, but Arisa and Senju coming by to give an evaluation of the upgraded Mina and investigating Minamorious 3's deviated learning personality, it's as if they've gained a child for that matter...and let's face it, it is, giving it the name of Mamoru. Mina even got upgrades to expand in size, and it gives her a mature woman feel from the transformation. The processing of Mina to accept Mamoru as it is from Takuma's point of view, they're more of a happy family now. What's better than one robot? Two, a wife and a child at that. |
 |
| @KanLen09 I'm sorry, but please pay attention to the episode and/or the thread. She didn't get any facial upgrade. She specifically said that she turned it down. |
| While Mina was being repaired, a mini robot arrived, and Mamoru is the name Takuma gave him. So, after a few days Mina has finally returned with the newest version, and now she can seem to enlarge her body to function better, such as in cooking. But hopefully its function can be more than that  |

| **GROAN*** So without Mina around, Takuma goes back to being a pathetic dweeb, eating ramen by himself and thinking it's great stuff. Then a package arrives and it's a little robot with eyes closed that looks kinda cute. But then IT STARTS TALKING. And will. NOT. SHUT. UP. I couldn't handle the little voice it uses, Mina's robotic sounding voice is at least pleasant sounding but this was not, and it just kept yacking! About who knows what. Then Mina walks in, and that other chick robot with the Eternally Smug expression follows and says smug things- Then he suggests that the miniature robot is like her child, broaching the idea of sex, and does himself no favors in that regard. Mina you have the patience of a saint. Which is exactly her expression by the end. |

| I think Mamoru is very cute, I’m glad they didn’t reset his programming but I do hope he can learn how to full utilize his abilities as the show goes on |
