They were probably going for 'You can't just do anything because you have an ""emotional connection"", Imber is a robot and robots break', but, it doesn't come across well and the small child isn't really relevant.

totally relevant small child, because haruka is broken and somehow ‘I broke my robot’ is the same thing as ‘parents dead’

At least I’m pretty sure they’re actually dead, and not just that they left, at any rate.

Just pointing out that this guy is literally standing on a goddamn tv screen. With his wet shoes.


ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:

I'm angry at these subs, and also, is this dude floating in the air.



In every scene with Chihaya’s robot, someone is floating around. I assume it’s the robot’s stupid antigravity field, because at least one scene with that is pretty unquestionably on earth (or an asteroid with an ocean and the exact same weather as Tokyo…). But basically every hangar shot looks like it was reused from something set in space? Like they’re overlooking the robots through thick glass in a separate room like the hangar in a gundam show. Maybe it's just leftovers Sunrise had laying about.

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:

No. The subs are somewhere between “quite liberal” and “made up,” from the two bits I bothered to at least sorta try and figure out.

Also that last bit is just loving stupid in terms of translation.



Yeah, she also couldn’t be bothered to explain anything else about the group. I’m sure it’s not important.

I let the awful literal translation of the last bit slide only because isn’t that fansub group from like Singapore or something? (Yes, they are) I half assume that’s what the deal is with the Mahs and the Yah you let slide…

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:

Is it supposed to be wordplay for Ai = Love, Ai -> AIdoru -> Idol, or Ai -> AI -> Artificial Intelligence?????

Also because you give the idol your love and get a performance. See, it’s clever on multiple levels.


Chamomile tea is quite pleasant. It’s mostly known as a relaxant, like something you’d drink before bed or to relax.

I think the dumbest thing about the naked hacking is that it seems like all that Riffa (which is apparently the blonde one's name) hacked were like, video feeds of outer space? You'd think that the UN or NWO or whoever would have more than a couple of cameras in space to keep an eye on the apparently super-deadly meteors.

Yeah, that's the real question that comes out of this. Sure, they studied the core and discovered it was a new element that produced infinite energy, then....they decided to build a giant robot around it? Stick that in a power station and save us from the fossil fuel crisis imo.

I mean, there are some other issues here. For example, the core was previously just a sphere. Where the hell did the head come from? It seems to have sprouted both the dinosaur-like head/neck and also a goddamn cockpit. Inside the core. Which may or may not be a sentient being. With preferences.

Ah, there’s the Bandori drama I was expecting, since this season couldn’t just be bands doing band things.

Well, at least Rokka got to rock out. And at least one insert song an episode is spoiling me.

It’s a shame, because Tsumutsumu plays Chu2 in lives a lot more laid back and less all up ins wrt Roselia and the like. Just watching her do her DJ thing in the Live that introduced her character was great.

Also, yeah RIOT hype.

Also also lol @ 2D GuriGuri when everyone else got new models and such. Still, good to see Milky Holmes together after their Final Live even if it was just for a short cameo.

Look at it this way. Lives are about making people excited and feeling good and celebrating music. The show and other storylines are about the drama in all these girls' lives, and after two years, you need someone to trigger conflict now that a lot of the initial issues the characters faced have progressed or ironed themselves out.

Besides, the anime will likely end with her coming around and her being one of the gang and friendly rivals with Roselia.

Yeah, I know. Bandori can’t just be a show about girl bands doing girl band things, so there was bound to be some drama inserted into the plot line sooner rather than later. I just wish some people in the fandom weren’t taking it so strongly though, but I guess that’s fandom for ya!

Man, first slamming Yukina for saying that PoPiPa wasn’t ready for their own self-sponsored live all those weeks back, then jumping on Chu2 for her whole thing of going after Roselia, and now Otae for what happened this week... I guess people just need someone to (if not hate, then) dislike and all that.

People weren’t slow in joking after this episode that it’s already happened, what with Otae being in the gacha and all that.

But yeah, having the 6th band (7th? GuriGuri exists after all and they have a song, even if they don’t have any in game presence either) in the game would be nice, but I don’t think there’s been any news wrt adding them.
