Q: is this going to evolve from the "guy is super into weird poo poo, girl isn't" joke? I'm giving the series the usual three eps but I am not convinced from this first ep.

Yeah, it takes a few chapters, but it leaves that setup behind for the most part in favor of more plot and gags for the rest of the cast. The guy is always weird, though.

nah thats it the whole way through, laios is a weirdo throughout the series. nothing else is developed or explained, its just that for 14 volumes, 97 chapters, 40 to 50 episodes. you better stop watching now to save yourself the disappointment.

Well, this part is true, at least.

Presumably a poorly trained dog would run in a random direction and make you go pick up the mandrake from wherever it's corpse lands, which would mean an extra ten meters of walking for the harvester. Which means mages are both stupid *and* lazy.

At first I thought you might say "well if they were growing on a tree like in the show then a long rope might just cause them to fall off of the branch and the scream would hit anyone that might be below", but do you know what else falls off of branches? Dead dogs

Stupid, lazy, hates dogs...

Most wizards are cats, aren't they?

I'd say a high INT, for the sheer range of monster knowledge, dump stat WIS, for the social awareness of a soup can, and at least moderate CHA because nobody has strangled him yet.

Wis governs senses and will saves, so I figure moderate wis, and low CHA because everyone thinks he's a weirdo who they should maintain safe distance from, with half the party quitting once his sister was gone. Presumably, she was the one keeping people from strangling him.

DNA Cowboys posted:

Earlier editions of Dungeons and Dragons (i.e. AD&D and earlier), which assumed the heroes would be traveling with hirelings and other specialists, often included trained dogs on equipment lists. I specifically remember an AD&D-era article in Dragon magazine about increasing the survivability of low-level magic-users. One of the pro-tips was using the character's starting gold to buy a pair of big, mean dogs. The downsides to this strategy have been well-explored by this thread: bringing dogs into a dungeon tends to result in a lot of dead dogs, which isn't really the kind of story that a lot of people want to tell.

On the other hand, it increases the odds your campaign will win the Newberry Medal something dramatic.

so how much percentage of the series is the 24 episodes gonna cover?

Hard to say without knowing more about the pacing for the back half. Could be anywhere from halfway in to covering the whole thing, depending on if they slow way down or switch into top gear.

Yeah Studio Trigger usually does single-cour series; the only ones longer (all of which being 2 cour) being Kill la Kill, Ninja Slayer (which had half-length episodes), Little Witch Academia, and Darling in the Franxx (which Trigger only produced 6 episodes of). Hell I feel like Dungeon Meshi has a pretty good chance of being the very first Trigger anime to have multiple seasons (given that we are not finishing the manga in 11 episodes)

Well, it depends if you count Dynazenon, doesn't it?

So there's definitely a subsect of elf con artists grifting off shortlivers by pretending to be "good" elves, right?

Saul Goodman, but a 100 year old elf.

That's pretty unfair.

Saul Goodman provides people a legitimate and often necessary service to a clientele that would otherwise be ignored and left without recourse in the event of tragedy.

No, that kind of chicanery is more in the style of one Slippin' Jimmy McGill.

Kissing Rin also shows he needs to review HR codes and practices. Sexual harassment ain't it, Kabru.

Sadly, the HR codes were written by his party members, and at least one of them put "kissing Kabru" as a basic human right.

Maybe the reason why I didn't mind that this episode is because I'm a math-brained nerd that actually enjoys Sherlock Holmes and Foundation and stories with this kind of thing.

It's pretty popular in general. Competent people showing off how they're competent is one of the big pleasures of detective fiction. Kabru's just being very competent against our protagonists, so there's more complicated emotions in play.

Sherlock Holmes would also get his rear end kicked by magical monsters

Sherlock Holmes casually bends solid steel bars, just as a flex, and jumps six foot walls like it isn't even an issue.

Holmes could probably just punch out the Red Dragon.

21 lunchables a day seems like a lot it's probably a joke right

It is. Senshi's VA had 21 lunchables in a day once, as a bit for his youtube channel. The joke is pretending that he kept doing it for years after that.

Kabru gets people pretty well. He knows Laios will never ask his name.

Now, Kabru, on the other hand. He'd totally flip out once you asked him to give a few words about his mother.

I think Kabru would ask about Holden's mother, and by the end of the test he'd be patting the guy on the back and reassuring Holden that he's probably human, but it would probably be for the best if he didn't talk about any of this until Kabru could clear it with Bryant.

Only his nanny seems to adore him. The other retainers are fairly professional about it. That particular gif shows them reacting with shock that he's actually being nice to them for once, ie: he is not normally nice to them. They actually seem more attracted to Kabru than Shuro, seeing how they blushed when they first met him.

To be fair, relatively few women in this show don't fall for Kabru to some extent. He's not a useful baseline.

Anime companies are always divvying out work to others. That one street in Tokyo with all the production houses on it has runners constantly in and out of each others’ offices getting episodes ready for broadcast.

Comes up a lot in Shirobako. Good show. Educational as well.
