The dub is good, tho I feel like Senshi's characterization is a little off. He is generally very mild and speaks in an old-timey manner so having him say "tastes like rear end" really caught me off guard. I'm also not sure why they felt the need to change his line saying "Senshi is dwarven for researcher" to "Senshi is dwarven for seeker".

According to the subtitle he's saying "taste like gas" and after listening to it a few times I can hear it.


Very strong first episode really looking forward to more!

Only care about lip flaps if they zoom in on a characters mouth to show them enunciating each word for dramatic effect.

I do enjoy the party having some friction, even though I think they were too hard on Marcille just before the mandrake bit. Wizards aren't known for being fast ya know?

Hey so catching up all the way back from episode 3 and stopping by after episode 5 to come and say I picked a bad spot to stop because 4 and 5 were phenomenal.

The writing with the Orcs and Senshi in general is top notch and the concepts with the golems as fields, the treasure insects, and the haunted sorbet is so good.

Again Senshi really is just the best.

Kind of hard to belive we're at the dragon already. Feels like the whole season went by in the blink of an eye.

Barking at unseen threats is the whole point. Pulling on your chain and joking around aside, the whole point of having a dog with you is early warning threat detection. Nobody shits on bomb stiffing dogs because they can’t disarm the bomb they find. You’re just happy they found the hidden bomb. I’m not a dog person, but I am a human prehistory nerd, and dog domestication is a massive technological boon. Besides their utility in hunting, the biggest boon of having dogs in your hunter/gatherer camp is that start barking and pointing when bad poo poo gets too close to the perimeter.

The actual problem would be dungeons filling up with packs of feral dogs because they’re the ones that survive party wipes.

I also have an argument for dungeon delving murder donkies, if you really want to make a list.

The party has an early warning threat detector though

Making the orcs Javelina-Men and not just generic Pig-Men is a very fun and elegant choice.

Ryoko Kui's takes on fantasy creatures have been incredible. Basically every take on a concept so far has immediately shot up to be my favorite.

Bard followed by boat elves are from 1:02. There's a winged feline immediately after, dunno if that's the cat that people are talking about

Blink and you miss it moment just right after the scrolling group shot you got someone sporting a cat tail



So either a cat person or someone wearing a cat tail for some reason

Also the dragon fight kicks rear end.

Very brief while still feeling like it could be over for the group at any moment. The animation of Senshi throwing Laios the sword is loving sick.

Presenting putting together Falin and the Warg's skeleton like another dish is such a good joke.

But man between Falin saying her goodbye last episode and the way they had to revive her this episode I feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop and kinda dreading it.

Wait was that the Elf from the Living Paintings who was chasing Laios???

Called it when I said they'd use dragon meat to revive Falin. Maybe not via the nutrients in the dragon's flesh but caloric content is close enough. That was a gnarly resurrection that also happened to be hilarious.

So using magical meat for the resurrection might have given Falin some side effects like instinctive magic use and she can apparently see visions of people in the castle town? Nobody else saw that little girl in the house, right?


Gotta say I think the Twitter crowd was overselling the "oh man THIS is when the story gets messed up!" hints. It was really cool but still keeping with the deranged but ingenious vibe the show has had since episode 1. Great fun and building on what was already there rather than a shocking twist of events.

That was definitely Living Painting guy and the little girl I wanna say is a ghost and Falin was shown to have a knack for ghost stuff last episode. Doesn't explain the hosed up house though.

Here's a thought experiment: How would Laios and the others fare if they had been the ones who encountered the corpse retrievers? Would they have fallen for the illusion and killed each other? How would they have dealt with the corpse retrievers? Would they even get away without a fight?

I feel like all of them would have seen through it in there own weird ways. Laios for example would not fall for the fake rear end looking fishmen.

As fun as it is to joke about how much Shuro hates Laios, it's also important to remember that at the end of the episode Shuro still offers to smuggle Laios out of the country to keep him out of prison.

Toshiro has many complicated feelings towards Laois, and not all of them are negative.

Also at no point during his vent session does he correct Laios about his name.

Things we know about the lunatic magician.

1. Insane
2. Gotta find Dergal
3. Gave Falin a brood patch so that she can incubate eggs when she lays them.

Really wondering where the chicken part came from. Something the gang missed when reviving Falin? Something the Mad Mage threw in for fun? Are chickens and dragons closely related like how chickens are closely related to dinosaurs IRL?
