That was pretty standard.
The joke being that the minion commander was out sick and they just played his speech on tape, got Hopeman to agree, to allow the episode ritual to continue.

If there’s an overarching plot other than Yuki abusing her plot armor to reach 99 death games, it hasn’t shown up yet.

The military and clergy leadership are both completely awful.
That really takes away the reason to root for our heroes to win, and changes it for them to escape.
Interesting info about the goddesses, but it seems like their powers are quite specific and limited.

I wanted that exact same screenshot!

“The important part was the friends we made along the way” a recurring theme in this show.

At least it’s not a recap…
- Comment on [Episode] MF GHOST Season 3 • MF Ghost 3rd Season - Episode 5 discussion 1 week ago:
That wasn’t too bad for a filler episode…
Kanata’s status as a non-native is explored, planned upgrades to the car to make it better suited for the next course, and to keep up with all the other competitors.

I’m not really sure why Yuuji and Megumi are joining Fight Club, or why Panda is there, but the “fight” was somewhat amusing.
The bit about cursed corpses was interesting, but again, the story leading up to that felt random and insufficiently explained.
The show might have taken a turn to where the audience beyond simply watching, is entirely dependent on their own researchinto the lore and plot to figure out what is going on.

I watched the Aldnoah Zero The Penultimate Truth OVA, and… it’s boring.
More or less a snapshot of what happened to our characters after S2, it’s nothing unexpected, but nothing entertaining either.

To be fair, most of the participants appear to survive each game.

Just catching up, and this show’s title caught my eye.
As expected, this is survival horror suspense, with “how will she get out of this” moments of suspense.
An interesting theme is the “preservative” effect that turns the participants blood into something that looks like plushie stuffing.
So for example, a severed limb looks like it was ripped off a plush doll.
The inspiration is very much from the SaW movies…

The story hasn’t found its feet yet, and I’m not sure that it’s going to.
Rolling from one battle story arc to the next with our cynical hero, annoying goddess is okay, but already feels wearisome.
So far the best 2 characters have been Norgalle and the oddly Japanese-named Tatsuya.

That was great!
The chambara/Kill Bill sequence was great, going where live movie making can’t.
Why did Maki’s mom kill Naoya though?
Making essentially fails at her task of procuring cursed weapons from her family’s vault, but where did they go, and who’s guarding them now that her clan is essentially destroyed?

Well that was ridiculously dangerous racing, and I still enjoyed it!
Ridiculous moves by just about all of the racers, again most of the credit goes to the car being overtaken to precisely judge of the position of the oncoming car and not touch corners, sending both cars spinning out of control.
This pose the Aiba, guy in yellow, is in. I think I’ve seen it before… I’m pretty sure there has to be a name for it… I’m guessing it’s from Kabuki…
The art in this show doesn’t get very abstract, but when it does…

Good news everyone!
A subbing group finally picked up the short episode series Elegy for the Henchmen Fist of the North Star, and yes, the subtitles help immensely.
Some parts aren’t getting translated though, such as the titles they gave these guys in episode 2:

Can you imagine the pre fight conversation between the Hero Of The South and Schacht The Omniscient?
“We can both see the future, and we both know that we’re both going to die today”
- Comment on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | Opening Title Sequence 2 weeks ago:
Way to say absolutely nothing about what the show is about, while featuring none of the cast.
I can’t say I’d look forward to watching that every week to get me into the mood for the show.
- Comment on [Episode] GANGLION - Episode 14 discussion 2 weeks ago:
Just a continuation of what happened last episode.
I’m shocked that Hopeman didn’t debrief his understudy more to find out what happened, and has to hear it from his co-workers on the other side.

That was better. Our protagonist is still stuck in edgelord mode, but at least Suicide Captain Xinia is showing some character development.
The two new heroes introduced are fun, if somewhat one dimensional, but I liked that Emperor Norgalle had some heart in him.
I’m still not sure what exactly their goal in the mines is. Dig a hole so that the Holy Knights can attack something, then what was that about setting up a camp?
So the mighty goddess has the physical traits of a 6 year old child and can be dragged away by a reasonably sized adult?
The animation and drawing continues to be lavish… I love the little cameos of modern machines and buildings fallen into ruin as they walk past.

A slow start.
I’m not sold on either the OP or ED songs.
The OP is wonderfully animated.
I have faith that things will get moving though.

I’d imagine that the television tax that the BBC is traditionally funded by has been on the decline for the last decade…

The rules for the game aren’t confusing, but the goals of the larger plot are quite confusing…
It would seem quite easy for just about any sorcerer to kill 100 civilians to get 100 points.
Sorcerers themselves are a lot harder to kill, and therefore should be worth a lot more points.
Anyway, more fighting is promised.

That was 1 whole episode of movie quality sakuga…
It’s been a while, so I’ve been looking up the character names mentioned…

This is really good!
The production values are better than expected for a comedy, and I honestly cried at the touching parts.
Prediction: While the Demon Lord’s power and violence won him a kingdom, it’ll be his daughter Doux’s kindness that keeps it together.
- Comment on [Episode] MF GHOST Season 3 • MF Ghost 3rd Season - Episode 2 discussion 4 weeks ago:
Two things bothered me this episode:
The other drivers are actually better than Kanata, because when he sticks his car’s nose in the tiniest gap around their rear bumper, there’s somehow no terrible accident, and both cars emerge unscathed.
Godly 15 indeed!
And the way Kanata drifts his car around, and comes from far behind to catch up, those tires must also be godly to maintain their grip and not get flat spotted.
- Comment on [Episode] The Daily Life of a Part-time Torturer • Goumon Baito-kun no Nichijou - Episode 1 discussion 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know why I expected this to be anything other than a gag anime, but that’s what this is.
Unfortunately, the jokes, timing, and visual humor didn’t land for me.
The characters didn’t seem that interesting, and just did normal office things with offscreen torture and killing substituted for regular work.
The setting of a world where torture, killing presumably as a resultof torture, etc are legalized weren’t really explored
I don’t think I will be watching the next episode.
- Comment on [Episode] GANGLION - Episode 13 discussion 4 weeks ago:
Good episode to round out the season!
The show’s paradigm of heroes and combatants as workers from different companies who have to work together is complete.
