They revealed that humanity is gone at the beginning of the episode with a narration? I don't really remember how it was revealed in the game tbh but I'm pretty sure it wasn't like this. It was such a big reveal too. I remember how devastated I felt when this revelation hit in the game. The androids were basically fighting aimlessly for a master that didn't exist for centuries. It's just so sad... Sad beyond words.

The start of Route C however was handled pretty well I think. A-1 Studio didn't disappoint. Everything from the fight scene animation to the emotional aspects hit just right. However, they cut the part of 60 commenting on 2B getting her flowers. Sure, it was a missable dialogue if you didn't do her side-quests but it was still such a powerful exchange. It's a shame it didn't make the cut and seemingly got replaced by her talking about the Commander putting on her clothes. Oh well.

Besides these, this episode was nearly perfect. So far I'm loving Season 2. And it's only been 3 episodes. People are saying that this feels like a season finale when it's only the beginning of route C. Anime-onlies are so not ready for what comes next. Can't wait for the next 1 or 2 episodes with more big twists.

Have platinumed the game, but the series is just adorable! Maybe the best series made out of a game ever!

Ah, yes. Tragedy + top-tier OST. What a fantastic combination.
Seriously, that transition from Commander encouraging 2B to the end credits in a black screen went hard asf.

Excellent episode.
