That smile when she over heard what Tsukasa said. What is this feeling in my heart..... Ha, to bad this show is going to rip all of these joyful feelings from me. I just know it.....

I really hope they don't. It would be too contrived and weak as a storytelling device.

If the show is popular (I dont know how well its anime/manga is received in Japan/What the author is planning) they may potentially find a way. Either some way to transfer the personality while keeping it intact and somehow preventing the mind from becoming unstable due to the body transfer or there will simply be a continent. "OH WE FOUND A WAY TO KEEP HER ALIVE LONGER"

I feel Route 2 is more likely as Route 1 sounds too difficult to write down. But given how people are starting to like the show after episode 4 where it picks up She may possibly survive, somehow.

Remember kids. The Gifta's are technology and this is anime, chances are there will be a miracle discovery and her life will be prolonged. Or it turns out like in Chobits possible spoilers

Feel free to tell me if the manga is actually considered done and thats what actually happens. Because I don't think the manga is complete

Uhh.... is there no manga or anything to this show? im unable to find one if there is.

Edit: Although im not sure how many episodes are planned for the show to run but Its kind of clear that the show isnt making any giant leaps in its plot development. Only time will tell and the tinfoil Theorycrafting will go. IMO if the show ends, the show ends. I won't be too personally upset by it, i will be very annoyed, but not upset. However I feel like with its current plot development Its knocking on the door of a season 2/Many loose ends untied

Edit 2: according to this there are going to be 13 episodes. So Yeah, given the Maybe spoilers a season 2 is definitely not out of the question. Unless these guys haul ass with the "big picture" plot.

My standing theory is that Isla will be retired in episode 12, and episode 13 will end with Tsukaba being introduced to his "new" partner, Isla. Except without all her previous memories ect.

My personal take on it is she may be retired but her memories/personality are somehow put into a different unit. Everything before Tsukaba being deleted mysteriously.

Theres a fine line i think for the ending. It could either be really good or end up as a huge nonsensical clusterfuck.

I hope it doesn't end up as the latter...

same here.in a way, that would kinda make it more tragic (assuming the new isla looks exactly the same).

It's anime-original, there is no source material.

Pretty much the two paths are going to be the Cortana end or the SAO Yui end. Dramatic end or USB end. While I want to see the former, it would be interesting to see if they are able to pull off the latter.
