I'm sure Loid could pull off the look since he is a master of disguise and all.

So the filler really has been implemented well because it felt very natural. I read the manga a few years ago and I remembered something about catching a thief so I assumed it all was in the manga and I just forgot

It was. Loid had a better Bond one-liner though (though I get that's just a translation choice)

I remembered most of this episode from the corresponding manga chapter but had totally misremembered Loid punching the table as him actually decking the douchebag and then ELEGANT guy saying he deserved it instead of doing it himself.

Regardless, Loid's subconscious breaking through his years of spy experience is still my personal favorite moment of his character thus far.

I mentioned it in the manga thread, but when I started marathoning the manga at roughly the time the anime began it was the "We brought a third outfit" reveal that had me struggling to breathe I was laughing so hard. The panels for the reveal are so amazing, I wasn't expecting it at all, and I found it hilarious that the third outfit was the most fancy/formal of them all. I don't think this is a spoiler since stuff like this comes down to personal taste, but I think that's still the comedic high point of the manga for me. I'm still expecting plenty of great things from the anime though!

Yeah I love that it starts normal with the housemaster saying they looked like "commoners from the countryside" and by the end Loid busts out a loving top hat from nowhere.

Yor is sincere, and also as dumb as a box of hammers. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

She takes "having a particular set of skills" to its logical conclusion, where she's pretty good at communicating with children and whatever her office work entails, and ridiculously good at fighting and murder. Everything else, like lying and cooking and apparently elementary school math, falls outside of that purview and so she's not really great at it.

I wonder how long (in universe) the series will go for the main part of its serialization. Anya being 1-2 years younger than her classmates this early on is pretty huge, but as they get further into grade school Anya will catch up very very fast if she's actually reasonably gifted.

Well, Twilight's Handler seems to think it'll only take 4 months. Which is pretty naive, but as we've seen with Twilight, all these spies seem to think of kids as tiny adults who can really climb the academic ladder fast given the right training and motivation instead of... y'know, children.

I'm sure it'll go past that but eventually WISE is gonna start putting the pressure on and go "okay Twilight time's a wastin' that loving kid of yours better start getting some stars"

I forgot to mention this but he was reading the first Spy Wars book while Anya was reading the 10th in the previous episode. I thought it was a cute touch.

Yeah it's nice that Loid is trying to connect with Anya a bit by engaging with her media.

I'm sure it's worse for Loid because the whole time he's undoubtedly thinking "this is awful and not how spies work"

Ultimately it's for the better that Anya whiffed that ball throw. If she'd copied Yor too well, she'd definitely have gotten a Tonitrus bolt for pitching a ball straight through Bill Watkins (6)

The new ED is really good too but Anya seems inordinately huge in the final shot when she goes to bed because she normally should be shorter than the door knob and she isn't.

Yeah, especially when she is reaching up at the beginning. She's a growing girl, I guess.

Shinji2015 posted:

I wonder if the mangaka regrets making Yor an assassin

Maybe, but I doubt it because the central gag is that she has to have a secret to hide from everybody and he probably didn't want to double-dip into the "superpowers" well (even if he did with the dog eventually). So in the end you need something that
  • A.) is a secret that Yor absolutely wouldn't want anyone to know about,
  • B.) would be funny,
  • and C.) Anya would think is awesome at her age/with her cartoon-addled mind so she would have a reason to push them together like she did at the dry cleaners

and "assassin" fits the bill pretty perfectly. Outside of that the job pool gets pretty limited. I guess Yor could have been the secret policeman instead of Yuri? But then, ew, cop. Though you're right, ultimately that probably does prevent her from doing more on-screen work, since if she is dropping bodies constantly you do risk her looking like a villain. At the end of the day though the story is ultimately more about Loid's mission (and therefore Anya's mission to maintain her family) so Yor... well, I don't want to say "matters less" because that sounds bad, but... I guess let's say she's not as integral to the real plot as they are.
