😔This coulda had a little more. I wanted a luxurious shot of her letting her hair down...

Also the hug could have used a beat to emphasize? I felt the same about the shot of the frog costumes earlier. Just a couple seconds hold woulda made them better imo.

Minor stuff! Still elated! But, just saying.


E: spoilered because I watched right when it went up.

Yeah I think it lacked a bit of impact compared to the manga panels. But this was also probably the scene I reread the most in the manga so it was going to be difficult to not disappoint me somewhat.

One of the most basic bit of foreshadowing I always loved is that when Falin is revived, she springs up, gasping for air.

Her right eye is squeezed shut and she instinctively clutches at her throat.

The lead up to the resurrection was definitely not as good as in the manga, but the resurrection sequence itself was awesome as gently caress and I might actually prefer it to the manga.

Mm, yeah I just saw the episode and was a little bit disappointed in the beats they took. Ah well, minor gripes.

On the other hand I do think they got the other lesbian moments nailed down and its probably a bit harder to deny that stuff compared to in the manga lol. Marcille just feels gayer in motion.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
The actual ritual was metal as gently caress, but yeah the beats leading up to it could have been better. However I will not be able to take actual complaints seriously because I’m just pleased that the anime is confirming FalinxMarcille.

Hey, how was Falin able to digest anything after being resurrected, anyways? Wouldn't her gut flora be completely out of whack?

She seemed to be restored to perfect health as she was before death (remember everyone was hungry at that time), she just had some blood in her throat.

Yes but only non-human souls stick to the dungeon and are resurrected. The bacteria in her digestive system wouldn't come back to life.

I'm sure "healing magic" lumps in your gut microbiome as well among the things that are healed, otherwise folks would be making GBS threads themselves left and right and it'd make trouble to collect the rezzing fee.

Think we get a new OP?

One we have now is still excellent but I've always thought it was kinda... plain. There are scads more characters to show off that will be popping up in relatively short order, and the story has absolutely taken a turn. I could see waiting for the full Falin reveal? But typically if you get one it's now.

I like the current OP, I wasn't sold on the song at first but it grew on me and all the imagery and stuff is cool. A new one would be cool though.

The song is so good and the series is so good that listening to it can make me tear up a little. But I think the only real thing to spoil is Falin? So just give her a headshot towards the end. I mean the ninjas are gonna be in and out in the next handful of episodes but one in particular is gonna stay around and deserves more than a tail in the OP.

speaking of,

You've got Shuro with the retainers and 'Asebi', Falingon, actual Itzumi, the Canaries, and finally Yaad & Co and the first mention of the Winged Lion towards the end of the season. Maybe they'll add characters to the opening as they get revealed?

So far at the pace they're going it looks like this season will be:

13 - Thistle Fight & Orcs
14 - Dryads, Kabru Team vs Resurrectors and Sea Serpent
15 - Cockatrice and Cleaners
16 - Harpies & Falin
17 - Dopplegangers
18 - Itzumi
19 - Nightmares
20 - Snow Golem / Barometz / Canaries Intro
21 - Golden Country
22 - Griffin
23 - Changling
24 - First Floor

That gets us up to Chapter 55 of 97 (it's kind of crazy how much stuff happens after they reach Thistle's house)

When you’re thinking about how the gut bacteria in a person would interact with any given fantasy action you are thinking too hard about things

I guess it depends if you consider character reveals spoilers. Plenty of anime show people off in the OP for a bit before they appear. Kabru's party, the ninja team with Asebi to keep her a little under wraps, the elves closer to shore or arriving...

Oh I'm SORRY for thinking about digestion in this diet and nutrition based series!!!

Are our colons not just dungeons with their own creatures (bacteria) and mana (gas) and treasures (poo)???

Clearly bacteria are some kind of mana sprites and the layered structure of humanoid intestines for their own mini-dungeon biome. In this essay I will 1/67

While I really like that, I prefer the music swelling as Fallin opens her eyes. It's really well timed.

Usually I skip intro songs, but this one is great.

Winged Lion should clearly be voiced by the same guy that does the narration.

This is such a good idea I might actually be disappointed if it doesn't happen.
