Sunraku wearing goofy masks seems to be a theme…
So it’s a series of matches in different games? I’m still not sure what the format is.
I’m not sure why Sunraku chose the old samurai hero. The speedster seems more his style.

The recaps only last half the episode, then there’s some very relevant plot, so keep watching, folks.
Even if your eyes are bloodshot like Natsuko’s

This one? www.twitch.tv/mogra
Looks like the last live stream on Twitch was 4 years ago.
They have a website club-mogra.jp but this seems to be more for announcing their live DJ gigs

I was specifically thinking of the parts where the girls “go into” their drawings to develop their ideas, as being different from your standard manga/anime narrative story.
IIRC, the town that they live in is strange too…

Dorohedoro is fantastically weird but solid world building and funny as fuck too.

A pretty epic battle that Sunraku gets into.
But at least the gang is (almost) all together.
Hey wait a minute, I thought The Fool doubled the effect and duration of debuffs on Sunraku?
So wouldn’t the Mermaids debuffs be really bad news for him?
I guess the debuffs count as “curses” which Lycagon’s Scar makes Sunraku immune to.
That makes the combination of Lycagon’s Scar and The Fool is a good combination for him, almost a game exploit.

He’s pretty busy for a non-pro gamer.
It’s a good thing he still has free housing at the family home.

Well of course the run time keeps getting longer. This is a TV series, not a movie.
And, of course Natsuko’s version of the Tale Of Perishing is way off course from the original: Unio lives, Destiny is very different, and also lives.
But if retellings have to be a little different, then key elements in the story also have to be the same.
Are the writers setting Natsuko up for an ultimate tragedy?
Or is she going to forge Tales Of Not Perishing from this world?
A little alarming that the Voids copied the God Soldier beam from episode 1’s Nausicaa reference.

The Archbishop of Wrath, later, if not sooner. No body, no death, after all.
I have to say that naming the Archbishops after stars is pretty cool.

A fun episode without any sakuga.
Jinwoo gets to brush off authority figures, impress them with just how overpowered he is, go high end shopping with a game shop exploit, and gets to work on the 80th and final level of the highrise dungeon, for which he also appears overpowered.

I loved the first season of Aldnoah Zero
It’s realistic mecha, e.g. Patlabor, using believable science to fight science fantasy mecha with un-realistic abilities powered by “Aldnoah” a magical/“sufficiently advanced technology” power source discovered on Mars.
Don’t bother with the 2nd season though, they lost the head plot writer Gen Urobochi it the writing really suffered.
If you like 80s anime and hordes of polygonal ships flying around fighting each other, there’s Legend Of The Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These, a remake of the long running 80s TV and OVA series.

Emphasizing the strength of the dungeon critters…
… made a pretty good setup for the battle, which I enjoyed frame stepping through.

Having reusable cool looking transformation and attack sequences is nothing new, but having the main character’s face constantly covered by hair so they mostly don’t have to animate her eyes and mouth is a new one on me.

It’s definitely Tiger Mask
Here’s a compilation of fight highlights from the original 1960s show www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfFOPXYd1K0
Here’s a fight from a later version, Tiger Mask W, from 2016 www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfzU_2B9iss
Credible moves that are mostly banned because they’re dangerous to the wrestlers.
- Comment on ZENSHU • Zenshuu. - Episode 2 discussion 3 weeks ago:
As others have pointed out, the main point of this episode is the missile scenes, in particular from Macross.
I would also point out that the Void ship has an “eye” front that vaguely resembles the Zentraedi mobile fortress from the show.

- Comment on xkcd #3045: AlphaMove 4 weeks ago:
The writer played multiple games of chess against some conventional chess programs or AIs, and used a simplified algorithm to determine their own moves:
For each move:
- They generated a list of all possible moves in the current position, and the moves were recorded in standard algebraic chess notation
- They sorted the list of moves in alphabetic order
- They used the move that was in the center of the sort order, but I have no idea what they did if the number of possible moves was even
This algorithm for choosing chess moves did not result in optimal play, and lost against the standard chess programs/AIs.
The illustrated position has the algorithm generating a blunder or useless move (Ne2) that allows a checkmate victory for Black with the following move (… b4++), i.e. “Black Bishop moves to b4, checkmate”
The writer named their algorithm “AlphaMove” as a take on Google’s famous chess playing AI from 2017 named “AlphaZero”.
Except in the writer’s case, the “Alpha” in their algorithm’s name is short for “alphabetic”, which makes the expanded name “Alphabetic(-sort)Move”.

They gave Haro a hip hop beanie that stops his top flaps from opening to extend his arms.
The flaps will probably just open enough for the arms to extend.

The mysteries are okay, but the direction and pacing feel off, and the characters and their dialogue aren’t interesting.
