A lot of good things this episode: Creepy assassin kids, auto firing staff, the return of the dead eyed fiancee Frenci, and Kivia in a ridiculous dress.
A lot of elements for a good show are there, but the writing has never quite added up.
I believe that this show lacks likeable characters, or characters doing cool surprising things consistently.

I don’t even know what Colonel Shadow was even doing out there on site.
Why even stage the event, monster, monster robot and all, if they aren’t even going to start the ritual correctly?
Whomever was Shadow’s superior should be punished for wasting everyone’s time.

This episode took its time.
I don’t believe I’ve ever seen Freiren and Fern go invisible to sneak up on someone, how ineffective it was, and they were lucky not to find themselves against a dangerous enemy.
Even stranger was them not recognizing Genau and Methode, although I suppose it’s been a much longer time in their world than ours.
War is hell hard bread eating sounds

It occurs to me how funny it is watching computer car models flail around in a not-particularly realistic way.
Kind of a 90s game motion aesthetic, if you remember back then.
But it still manages to be entertaining.

Interesting character this Higeruma, but it’s quite a leap from a lawyer with a sense of justice who finally snaps, to a sorcerer who’s capable of killing at least 20 other sorcerers.
It took a bit of scrolling, but his assistant Shizuma, doesn’t appear to be related to any other similar looking sorcerers: Nobara Kugisaki, and a younger Shoko Ieiri. It may be that’s just the way the mangaka draws some women.

As long as she’s been in show business, I’m surprised that Kana even got upset about this. She should be a lot more jaded.
Gotta generate enough drama to fill up an episode or 3 manga chapters somehow though.
If you put Ruby or MEM or Akane in the same situation, none of them wouldn’t seem nearly as vulnerable.

By all rights, Yuki should have been dead, and at least 3 times over at that.
I am loving the art and direction in this though her plot armor was ridiculous in this episode.

I wonder if this was a realistic portrayal of how things go in Japan when a manager is given a sideways move that’s really a demotion?
- Comment on [Episode] Sentenced to Be a Hero • Yuusha Kei ni Shosu: Choubatsu Yuusha 9004-tai Keimu Kiroku - Episode 7 discussion 1 week ago:
As others have said, a pretty good episode!
Interesting characters are introduced, likely Demon Lord “how do you do fellow humans” Spriggan has a very interesting way of talking.
Conversely, dragon riding hero seems a bit trope-y, but I did like Neely, the dragon.
Why would you bring Tsav along if you don’t give him a sniping staff?
I liked the change to the formula: A nasty city adventure.

Awright, we’re back in the cars, even if it is “only” qualifying.
Qualifying is one of those weird things in racing, where it’s a necessary thing for safety, by not putting the fastest cars in the middle or back of the pack, to minimize dangerous overtaking;
And qualifying is also not necessarily the best way to measure which is the fastest car over the full length of the race, because they’re only measuring speed over a single lap.
Now what do I mean by that: For example, you can prepare special purpose single-use engines, tyres and other components to optimize this single qualifying lap. For example, you can swap in a lighter hollowed out engine block to save weight, or one that’s made of lighter materials and components that wouldn’t last the length of the full race, but will certainly do the job on a single lap.
Formula 1 has added rules over the years to stop teams from “cheating” in this manner, e.g. they changed the rules to disallow “qualifying engines” starting in 2004, forced teams to use the same engines for multiple races and qualifications, etc, etc. but teams keep coming up with new ways to get around the rules.
I’m not sure how MFG restricts its competitors, or maybe they put limits on by just not awarding a whole lot of prize money, so ridiculously expensive “creative engineering” isn’t worthwhile.

More greenwashing propaganda from the plastics manufacturers. Burning plastic to make plastic precursor chemicals makes no economic or environmental sense.

- Comment on Why all Animes are made in Japan? 1 week ago:
Anime isn’t just animation.
It’s a style, but also a set of tropes and Japanese cultural references that would be difficult for even a similar culture, such as Korean, to emulate.

That does make the changes sound reasonable. Good point!
- Comment on [Episode] GANGLION - Episode 18 discussion 1 week ago:
It’s still not exactly clear how the disaster happened, or Isobe’s role in that, but the Ganglion org is getting the credit.
It’s weird how everyone just accepts that it’s part of their job as an org, and Isobe doesn’t get harassed on the commuter train about it.
The boss looks creepy enough, but still she just looks like a regular human in a costume
- Comment on British Museum removes ‘Palestine’ from ancient Middle East displays 1 week ago:
The changes have been made following audience research, and after concerns were raised by UK Lawyers for Israel, a voluntary association of lawyers.
It sounds like the exhibits’ text was politicized by this group.
The name “Palestine” for the region has been in use for over 1000 years.
The historian Herodotus is believed to have made the first textual mention of Palestine in the fifth century BC.

- Comment on Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Officially Hit With a Major Delay 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure that would help.
Others have expressed similar confusion stemming from this story arc in the manga, so it it’s really a problem in the source material.
I’ve been asking for explanations after just about every episode, and that’s helped a little.

That wasn’t bad. Setting up an elaborate plan, that is of course doomed to fail at the first step…

Considering the quality of this season, the animators’ fingers must be worn down to the nubs!
Take a well deserved break people!

Pretentiousness went on for too long.
The episode did finish up well, by throwing out the formula established in previous episodes.

I was fully expecting a beach episode to break out, but apparently thwarted until next episode maybe.
I liked how the Nigata trip was just quickly done in flashbacks.
@Rottcodd@ani.social is right though, get back in the cars already!
