Which kind of gives me the impression that maybe Takumi was the one to create Airi and is directing our main character in Robotics;Notes. Lots of mystery, lots of references. Me likey.

Gah. I haven't watched C;H. But it sounds like I have to watch that first so I can pull out all the little details. Damn you... evil people and your connected stories!

Nice catch, I totally forgot about that girl ???

This detail is a little off. I first thought it's the same tone but listening closely they're different. The Chaos;Head tone was "Tooryanse", the crosswalk tune.

Why?! WHY was Chaos;Head so damn bad compared to Steins;Gate and now Robotics;Notes (final judgement still pending)?! Ep11 was fantastic, pointing to the first climax of the show!
I want all those hints finally connected. It's been a long time since I was anxious to see the next episode(s). Things must be really dire if even "Senomyia the Older" contacted "her past."

If it's of any condolences to you, the VN was way more bearable and does a better job of sucking you in, let me rant on what the anime adaptation did wrong:
(click to show/hide)First they tried to squeeze the story into 12 episodes when it should have been at least 24, which means they had to sacrifice so many minor details that you can't notice or guess if you only watch the anime, like why does Takumi go to the net cafe to name the least.
Because they made it 12 episodes, they decided to remove at least one important arc which wouldn't be so bad if they removed the later parts of the story that depend on it, which they didn't (bet you're still wondering why little sister's right hand seemed invisible in her captivity).
To make things worse, they ADDED some original content which made them even more restricted into the amount they can take from the original story (the idiotically written part where they attacked the Noah II's so called "prototype"? Never happened in the novel, but the showing of the weaknesses of the two girls did happen at a different part in the novel).
Takumi's character in the anime was taken down a notch or two compared to his VN counterpart, whether this is good or bad depends on your own taste I guess, to me I felt more of him in the VN. His imaginary figure friend had less of an impact compared to VN, not to mention the slight self censor they did in drawing her which aired just fine in other later anime. Ah right I think the VN characters were better drawn, especially the rugged detective.
I will give them a small break on one part though, it doesn't seem the author at the time even wished that the story gets adapated to an anime, there were some nice small touches done in the story that fit into the VN medium which made the story more engaging but they weren't possible to adapt into the anime medium. I don't mean to mention this as an example, but the best gimmick the VN had was how the decision points were made, you had a choice of "good delusion", "bad delusion" or you can skip without making a choice for no delusion, same structure for most of the points.
phew... I had this kept inside me since I finished the VN, good thing it's all out now.
Anyway, robotics, the plot thickens. :D
I wonder if we'll be seeing any reading steiners or gigalomaniacs in this series, but that's me going way overboard and it will make the plot too complicated anyway.

Well, at least we get Tennouji Nae who likes to ride a bicycle just like Suzuha, instead of some motorized vehicle.
But I really like it thus far, can't wait for the rest.
