I feel bad for Marcille. She just wants to be useful on the quest to safe her girlfriend and tries her best, but everyone is always rude and dismissive to her.
I usually skip OPs but this one is genuinely really good. There are so many people we haven't met yet. I wonder when the party will absorb them.

Also I'm just gonna say it: Boiled cabbage is gross and a misuse of ingredients.

Boiled/steamed cabbage alone is a misuse, but it's good to extend other dishes with and adds texture. Like Corned beef and cabbage works because it absorbs some of the flavors and as long as it's not overcooked, adds just enough crisp texture that it's not just beef (and carrots and potatoes)

I'm sure only manga readers would possibly give a poo poo, and I don't know if it's an early instalment thing or just a dub thing or what, but the Orc chief keeps distinguishing elves from humans and just generally using the word human wrong in this episode and it's driving me crazy. You're all human in this setting!

I definitely don't know any Japanese but apparently the direct translations from the manga:

quote:

Orcs have nicknames for the different races: elves are 'long-ears' (耳長 miminaga?), dwarves are 'depth-dwellers' (地底人 chisokojin?), half-foots are 'midgets' (小人 kobito?) and tall-men are 'long-legs' (足長 ashinaga?).

The question of 'what exactly does the term "human" mean in a world with many types of sentient (and non-sentient) humanoid (and non-humanoid) species?' does get brought up several times such as the case with last episode's orcs.

It's like that in the manga too so it might just be an early installment thing, but the precise definition of human is a cultural thing in universe so it could just be orcs don't consider elves the same as humans

What? Elves, halflings, and dwarves are "human?"

it's brought up later (was the conversation where they go into detail part of the manga or in the extras?) but yeah, depending on the area. places where several sentient races coexist will use "human" a lot like "people", ie as umbrella terms for sentients. places where one race developed in isolation (I think Laios and Farlin came from a norther europe-expy place where other races were unheard of) will consider themselves "true" humans. and then there's places that put some arcane rule behind the term ("all races who have X number of bones are humans")

Yup, it's basically only really talked about in some bonus material but what we would think of as a human is a tallman, where as a human refers to tallmen, half-foots, elves, dwarves, gnomes, and ogres. Everyone else, like orcs and kobolds, are demi-humans

it could just be the translation hasn't really understood that that's a meaningful distinction, like the scanlations didn't pick up on that until it was made explicit in the bonus material pretty late into the manga

A good friend has been watching this show with his very gentle six year old, on the impression it was a relatively kid-safe monsters and cooking show. Like a slightly older, more focussed Pokemon with life lessons.

The surprise tavern massacre did not go well

My friend spent a tear-filled hour trying to answer questions about why would the orcs do that, why did the elves hurt the orcs first, who the Bad Guys were, why does god let bad things happen to nice people

It's just weird to me since the manga is finished so the distinction is out there, but that's probably expecting too much from a presumably quite small staff and I enjoy the dub a lot otherwise. I quite like Emily Rudd's Marcille, she sounds like an actual real human, which is a refreshing change in an anime dub.

This episode was weird whiplash, the first chunk with the golems was the funniest loving poo poo so far to me, and then the bar murder happened, what the gently caress? And then Senshi’s insane rambling about the bread while the orc chiefitan and Marcille debate race relations just made it great black comedy.

This series is real good y’all, this anime is doing its job because I’ll probably start collecting the manga when the cour finishes.

Marcille is definitely the group's designated boomer, both because she makes booms and because she'll randomly go on tirades about how she could buy a house just fine 50 years ago with her entry-level research job at the magic academy, maybe adventurers could do the same if they stopped wasting money on their doodads and gizmos. There are no jobs, Marcille.

I think it's a specific cultural thing on the part of the orcs. Elves are the big-poo poo superpower who meddle with everything (so they get distinguished/called out specifically) and tallmen are the most common kind of human (so they end up as the demihuman shorthand for adversary-humans in general); thus, while the orc chieftain is familiar with specific terms like "half-foot" and "tallman" for human subspecies, he uses humans and elves in the same way that people in our world might call out Europeans -- which can include very historically uneven European nationalities like the English or French as compared to the Irish or Finns -- and Americans in a colonial-historical or geopolitical context.
