Robotics;Notes; Review;Notes (Episode 5-6)

The fifth episode is about Kaito and his interest in ghost stories. Of course, it's an AI!
The sixth episode has  introduce the AI Aira as a new member of the team.
A lot of work is done as a result, before Subaru has an encounter with his father. The acting in that scene seems so genuine, like as if a real father and son were quarrelling in Japan. It was a really weird way they did (not) set that up, but it sorta worked as a surprise in the episode.
The father-son quarrel also established a difference in the changing society in Japan, between the agricultural, feudalistic structure to a industrial, possibly capitalistic structure.
There could be many gaps in this family: A generation gap, a class gap, an occupational gap, a skill gap, a cultural gap that lead to this conflict. Very interesting.
