kabru is the kind of guy who doesn't like oysters for the reasons people like them always have to make known very very vocally

He would never make it known vocally because he's always trying to play people. He would eat all them oysters greatfully and then think vile hatred to himself afterwards.

lmao in the corner of Shuro's perspective you can see a bit of Falin's clothes sitting on the bench with them. He must have been crashing the date.

Sadly, that's part of a completely different memory, in which Laios crashes Shuro and Falin's date.

DrSunshine posted:

Also, please don't hate me for this, but I ... don't really see Falin x Marcille as two-sided. Maybe it's just from me coming off of the comic, but Falin always read as platonic with respect as Marcille to me, while Marcille clearly is romantically interested in Falin. This reading makes it quite a bit more tragic, though, I'll admit.

My cousin put it pretty well. Japanese Laios is a little too generic. Damien Haas is great at making him sound as unhinged as he really does to the rest of the cast.

Japanese Laios had an amazing part in the siren scene tbf. Also lmao, I didn’t notice Shuro’s expression until that screencap, but that was probably because of all the murder going on, and plot out of nowhere.

Shuro does have that perpetual “I REALLY hate it here” expression, but that might just be the exhaustion. Going by that one side chapter someone posted it kinda seems like he’s been dying of exhaustion since he met Laios though.

question

so when Maizuru goes "so forward!" when Laois gets buddy buddy with Shuro is there a language nuance in the Japanese or just because he's being him

Oh, I think that's because Laios is calling Toshiro "Shuro".

In Japanese using someone's name without an honorific is a sign of extreme closeness (or extreme rudeness, it depends on context) and referring to someone by a nickname without an honorific is something you usually only do with a very close friend, family member, or significant other. So from Maizuru's prospective Laios is being SUPER forward by calling Lord Toshiro "Shuro".

Of course Laios is unaware of all of this and the reason he calls Toshiro "Shuro" is because he can't pronounce "Toshiro" properly and thus accidentally renamed Toshiro as Shuro without even realizing he had done that.

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

Thinking back to this and imagining how this episode would go over. The animation actually amped it up a bit over the manga which wasn't light to begin with.

My 11 year old enjoyed this episode. She was very serious all through the massacre and then laughed with delight at the Laios v Shuro slapfight

e: I get the impression that she was kind of silently cheering Falin on because a) cool monster lady and b) Marcille really likes this lady and we like Marcille

Laios's English voice actor is autistic, so as you might expect the scene with Laios and Shuro hit close to home for him.

I mean who are we to say that Shuro's memories aren't just as biased as Laios's? There could be some Rashomon vibes going on except that Falin is currently a bit too chicken to offer her version of events.

Shuro probably thought he was being suave and subtle putting the moves on Falin while she was fixated on a cool caterpillar and not paying attention.
