:::That would account for Sousuke's XM8 since it was the hotness gun of that period and Mithril is known to have advanced weapons in their arsenal though oddly I would have thought a standard sidearm for Tessa's escort be a more updated 1911 if that was the case.

Someone in the page stated the SUV Sousuke was driving was a Pajero. We could probably deduce the general year from what model it looks like.

Revision as of 04:55, 25 April 2018
The Time period of this series
I'm beginning to think this show takes place in an alternate early 2000s since something about Sousuke's XM8C being used, and Kaname's flip up phone never being updated to current time. Excalibur01 (talk) 17:41, 23 April 2018 (EDT)
- Well this series is suppose to be the continuation of the story and since it hasn't even been a year since Sousuke showed up in Kaname's life, it's a nice touch that they maintain the proper timeline instead of suddenly giving everyone smart phones.--Wildcards (talk) 00:34, 24 April 2018 (EDT)
- On that topic, the white board in the student council room says it's for the student council of class of Heisei 11 year (平成 11 年), which would be 1999 if I'm not mistaken.--Wildcards (talk) 00:43, 24 April 2018 (EDT)
- I remember the production crew at GONZO saying that the anime version started in the early 2000s... Ominae (talk) 07:18, 24 April 2018 (EDT)
- That would account for Sousuke's XM8 since it was the hotness gun of that period and Mithril is known to have advanced weapons in their arsenal though oddly I would have thought a standard sidearm for Tessa's escort be a more updated 1911 if that was the case.

Someone in the page stated the SUV Sousuke was driving was a Pajero. We could probably deduce the general year from what model it looks like. Excalibur01 (talk) 10:22, 24 April 2018 (EDT)
- It is. Not sure on the gen model, but I've seen them around Manila/Hong Kong and stuff. Ominae (talk) 10:46, 24 April 2018 (EDT)
Sousuke's Glock
I think this time the animator might've actually went with Glock 19 which is the one he carried in the original light novel.--Wildcards (talk) 00:43, 24 April 2018 (EDT)
- May be possible. Though he had a Glock 26 and the animation at GONZO and Kyo Ani just messed this up since animation errors made the 26 look like a 19. Ominae (talk) 07:18, 24 April 2018 (EDT)
- I think until they zoom in for a close up to show model number, we'll state it "appears" to be a Glock 19 until otherwise stated based on the size. Excalibur01 (talk) 10:06, 24 April 2018 (EDT)
This series seems to be mostly more detailed with it comes to their guns Excalibur01 (talk) 10:10, 24 April 2018 (EDT)
