Kado 7 (includes notes on Kado 6.5 + Tsukigakirei 6.5)
Some notes on the recap: Itās interesting they styled the title card to be like a silent movie, but the embellishments in the top corners are high-tech. Tsukigakireiās recap was a slog because it awkwardly cut, but because of all the indications of time and the fact thereās already a narrator, this show fits a recap style much better (but the titlecards and changing of the eyecatch make this ep feel fresh, which is great!). Also, it seems I was wrong about how it had been three days since Kadoās appearance (see ep 5ās commentary), because the counter hits 5 days when the first passengers are released.
Waitā¦that ābrainā was a device???
āHi Settenā, LOL. Also, I found out ākadoā (with this combo of kanji -> éåŗ¦) can mean āexcessā or āimmoderationā, and āsettenā means āsettingsā or āoptionsā...I first remember seeing the word in the Boueibu game, where āsettenā of course would refer to things like āvolume on/offā and that.
Apparently, the Google CEOās name is Sundar Pichaiā¦I thought it was Larry Page and Sergey Brin as co-CEOs, but I guess I was wrongā¦Also notice Wardās iPad says āihou sonzaiā (anisotropic being).
Oh flap. Adamās pulling a Great Fitz hereā¦
Iāve seen the āI canāt dry my laundry!ā screenshot before, but seeing it in context is funny all over again. In fact, it makes it even funnier.
I was worried about how the show might get a little too philosophical after ep 6ās end, but itās good to see Hanamori retains his sleeping capabilities. *stifles laughter* They even rendered Hanamoriās bedhead.
āKado comes here, and instead of running, they find a way to market it.ā ā Itās an interesting, yet extremely obvious point that we tend to ignore because weāre so used to it. Thatās why tourism ā even fake tourism - sells. Why do I bring this up? Because I want to, for one, and because I hope to exploit this angle for Half-Paid Heroes. (I wanna know how to make Kado cake, tooā¦)
CR subbers, I thought Gonnoās first name was āTakumiā?...
Thatās cute, itās a helicopter landing spot, complete with āHā marking.
If I didnāt know any better, I mightāve called Shindo zaShuninaās sidekick. (LOL)
This āstacks of booksā scene is something like what I imagined when I wrote White Parasiteās La Lunaās hideout in the mountainsā¦thatās one of the reasons Iāve been able to give Kado and zaShunina an unyielding love. Also, I thought the promo 2D Shunina looked creepy, so this 2D shot of Shunina stole my heart!!!
The cube seats remind me of those child corners in libraries and that, where you have mini stools for playing pretend. Oh. Speaking of which, it reminds me of this Rubikās cube.
Okay. I thought Kado would be a show devoid of such things, but letās play the game of āWhat drugs were the producers on today?ā
Okkkkkkkkkay. (stifles laughter) Did you realise the Shunina heads made a heart, with the ārealā (existing in the normal dimensions) Shunina in the middle? Hahahaā¦
Wait. That screaming thing in episodeā¦2, I think it was? The bit where Shindo grabs his head in agony?...was Shunina giving him (Shindo) the sense of the anisotropic? Ahhhhhhhhh. That makes sense now!
āThey were good humans.ā ā Just in case you didnāt forget Shunina is an extradimensional bishie being. I guess itās kind of along the lines of Kaiās (Royal Tutorās) āYouāre all good boys!ā, which is true both there and here. In most cases (except maybe Shunina and Ward), the boys of Kado are good boys.
A bookmark. For an avid reader like Shunina (or myselfā¦haha), itās a perfect gift. Just make sure theyāre not so heavy they fall out of books, because then theyāre useless.
They put the festival scene in 2D! (It would be a cost cutting measure for sure, butā¦you know what I said about 2D Shunina previously? Yeah, that.) Also, it just goes to show you even a high concept sci-fi show like this goes for the jugular in depicting fanservice for the āpeople who like hot guysā and āpeople who like tsunderesā. However, did Shunina change his own clothes? Did Shindo or someone else get the yukata for him? Does Shunina even have the concept of āchanging clothesā???
Fake Nintendo Switch. Iāve also seen this screenshot making the Tumblr rounds before.
LOL, giant turtle. I like turtles.
Haha, negotiating even at a festival. I LOLled too hard at the line, āWhat is buttered potato?ā (but I also like buttered potatoesā¦I like a lot of things).
āSaraka-san, zaShunina, you, and the turtle will be in group B.ā This typoās the same case as the Gonno one earlier this ep.
āAre there any negative effects?ā
How do you lose an anisotropic being at a festival? I actually hope he isnāt being rabidly devoured by a bunch of girls who think heās hot.
Just seeing the credits reminded me that Shinawa was absent this ep (which was good). Also, has Natsume appeared in every epās credits so far? I donāt remember because I normally donāt watch credits.
Boku no Hero Academia 21
āSparking Killing Boyā, LOL.
The more I watch Mei, the more I feel like Iām watching The Truman Show (where thereās one woman who advertises things near the beginning of the movie).
The belt transformation refers to sentai heroes.
Hmmā¦I agree with Deku on Aoyamaās strategy, since his laser is best used from afar.
That was an unexpected (for me) win for Tokoyami. I knew his Quirk was good all around, but I thought Yaoyorozu would win for sure. Itās just the difference in confidence, eh?
āā¦focussing on the shield Yaoyorozu made.ā
I kinda get what Urarakaās saying. After all, she might end up dragging Deku down one day by relying on him too much.
Grimoire of Zero 7
It annoys me how tavern girl looks so similar to Zero.
Why do fantasy travellers (or Brock in PokĆ©mon, for that matter) never have big packs? Youād think they doā¦
The colour of the night sky in this episode is pretty.
This wolfās like Sonic (One Punch Man). Such a sore loser.
Hey wait, did Thirteen see herā¦uh, assets? Did he dress her wounds?! Eep! I do not ship this. *shakes head*
Royal Tutor 8
Ouch, Licht, you got burnt! On the other hand, I agree with Bruno that he should sleep forever, noting past comments Iāve heard him (Licht) say.
Ah, the zoo. What nostalgia that brings. Iāve been to the closest zoo at least twiceā¦thriceā¦four timesā¦? I donāt remember anymore, but the zoo is always a fun place.
Itās smiling, ReLIFE style!
Braunbar (with umlaut over the second a) is German forā¦wait for itā¦brown bear.
Bunnies can bite you when you least expect it. From my experience, they donāt draw blood though. (How do I know this? Thereās one outside my window as I speak. Heās probably someoneās stray, although no oneās come for him so my family have had to take care of him.)
Shut up, Licht! Thatās not comedy, thatās just killing time!
I still wonderā¦how does Kai actually wear that jacket? It must be troublesome to put on if heās always wearing it like that.
Ahhhh! Dangit, Kaiās too good for words. The only thing that can quell my āfan of bishiesā heart is fangirl screaming.
Those ātricksā of yours didnāt work, Licht. Get out. Besides, Bruno, I barely remembered that brick joke.
My heart sank a little when I saw they werenāt using the cheesy live-action version of the ED. Still the next episode looks like it will address some plot-critical things, and Iām worried for Kai because heās the sort who canāt get over his problems easily. (As a sidenote, a similar tabloid article shtick was used in SGRS, so I welcome this plotline.)
Tsukigakirei 7
Vita Sexualis is a Mori Ougai work, so Iām kinda on edge about itā¦knowing Bungouās Ougai, that is.
Why does this epās title sound like it should be a Boueibu one instead???
These (mostly still) shots of theme parks just make it seem like the staff are scrounging for money.
According to the omake at the end of one ep, youāre meant to ship Roman with the teacher (as ick as that is), so I can understand why Romanās on his lonesome.
Stop egging her on, Hira! Sheāll get nervous! (I say that because I donāt like roller coasters much.)
I feel like the word āvivaā is being overdone, attendant person. Google-sensei says the word means ālive (verb)ā, so it doesnāt make sense at all.
Hiraās freckles really donāt seem to be a mistake. Also my brain canāt make sense of āsorabuneā ā the word for ship/boat is āfuneā, but it doesnāt become ābuneā when attached to another word...not that I know of, anyway.
Yamashina? Weāve never been told Romanās surname beforeā¦
Potori Water, LOL. Parody on Pocari Sweat if you didnāt know that.
Itās nice that they didnāt do the full-on ācan on face at aumsement parkā thing Iāve come to expect from romances, because Detective Conan kinda solidified that as the norm for me.
The Big O in this case isnāt an anime, itās a Ferris wheel.
Josei Next Door did a CR article where she suggested people needed to talk to each other more, and while it was on The Royal Tutor, sometimes I wish Akane and Kotarou would talk to each other properly tooā¦welp, I spoke too soon (sort of).Why āsort ofā? Because Kotarou is speaking to Hira, but he aināt speaking to Akane.
I feel a twinge of guilt in that I wanted Chinatsuās and Hiraās dreams to be shattered to make way for the canon couple, and Chinatsuās tears exacerbate that feeling. I guess this is what itās like to be a shipper, eh ā to ignore the feelings of couples in order to get your own way, knowing your dreams may not even become reality? (But canāt these kids all be happy??? It could easily be a āpair the sparesā situation, now that I think of it.)
The takoyakiās nice, but that background with the screaming girl is creepyā¦It appears to be a parody on Beavertails, for some odd reason. Why is there a Canadian product being used as product placement in an anime (and why a product Iāve only ever heard of from a Canadian TV show, to boot)???...*record scratch* Okay, Iām weirded out, and I admit defeat. Beavertails exist in Japan.
Couple selfies. That just goes to show how much trends can permeate cultureā¦hey, does that mean people may one day use memes in anime? (Even though anime creates memes?) Itās meme-ception!
It seems live action footage was used for this show, if you look closely, and itās not just the OP Iām talking aboutā¦
Finally, a part of Tsukigakirei I can get behind! These night scenes are so real! If it werenāt for Kotarou and Akane, Iād think these scenes to be photos and not animation at all.
I get this feeling that weāll end with either their graduation or them as adults, with Kotarou telling their kids āā¦and this is how I met your mother.ā Which would be awkward as all get out, but okay. (I havenāt seen How I Met Your Mother by the way, although it sounds like a scenario that would happen in itā¦)
Aw, dangit. They got their kiss interrupted. At least it wasnāt by Chinatsu, that wouldāve caused more tears on her end.
Mireta (used in āDid you see the fireworks?ā) seems to be an odd formation of mieta, but in slang, people break the grammar rules all the time, so Iād suspect people break the spelling rules too.
I was surprised to find out this epās ED LINE chat is a wife to a husband. That confirms my How I Met Your Mother thoughts, somewhat. (The husband had overtime and got the wife juice. It seems they were going to an event, because the wife says to check the invitation guest list...and so on, so forth.)
Oh? There are more omakes? Iāll watch āem someday when Iām boredā¦I guess.
