MMania posted:Man, now I wish the creators of this show were closet fans of that horrible D&D cartoon from the 80s. paragon1 posted:All the bullshit they went through to get the coffin into that manor is exactly the sort of thing I'd expect a gaming group to do. Thanks for these posts. I was on the fence about this show until reading your posts and seeing the latest episode, and those statements are entirely correct about this show, whether the writer and director intended it or not. Approaching this show as though it's a dnd session with a bunch of people just loving around is exactly the mindset I was missing, and Chaika being a character made by that one guy you know who's weird but still kind of fun to be around justifies her. She's a total nerd bait mishmash that makes no sense, but is executed well enough that she's still fun. Also the various magical wildlife are interesting, and dragoon lady looks cool. Hopefully she'll join the party.

At some point a fake Chaika will infiltrate the team in place of the normal one, but they will immediately recognize that she's a fake because she won't think to try using the gun to cook or do some other mundane chore. Also Akari remains the best because she is a complete loon. Though Nikolai from the cavalier group is gaining points for being a total bro.

I didn't realize until seeing this gif that the thing around her chest wasn't just a design on her dress but some weird-rear end cage. No doubt there is some hackneyed symbolism that will come about from that. Also Guy is totally emperor Gaz's ghost. Akari remains the best character, though. And I have to wonder which of the two main parties is the dnd campaign player party. It could really go either way, and I like that the adversaries are getting nearly the same portrayal as Chaika's group. One party gets a shapeshifting robo dragon, the other gets a baller stealth fortress car.

Jackard posted:Its okay, just continue watching the childish patsy Chaika that inevitably fucks everything up by resurrecting the major villain of the setting I actually want the ending to be Chaika and crew overcome many trials and tribulations to gather all her father's body parts, and they give him that funeral she wants and then she drives off into the sunset. That's it. Nothing happens. The end. The story was about the journey, not any climax. vvvv I still need to finish watching Scrapped Princess one of these days. And Chaika could go off the rails and then just have a totally uneventful ending! chumbler fucked around with this message at 23:39 on May 31, 2014 |

Welp, Guy is unquestionably Gaz's ghost or servant or something, Freddie is toast as is the fate of NPC party members, and we'd better hope Vivi and Zita can hold out against Akari and Gillette against an entire army. If there's only one episode left I fear we're going to get a cliffhanger ending in preparation for the second season  . And drat, the corpse walls. Even though I kinda figured that would be the result, it's still unpleasant.Somehow I've gotten more invested in this drat show than any other this season. It's a hell of a dnd campaign.

Einander posted:Man, Toru just destroyed Akari at the start. It's kind of amazing how far he apparently outclasses her. I guess I can see that, especially since a hammer is one of the easiest weapons in the world to use (especially compared to dual wire knives), so that's a good indication she's not as skilled, but... I expected it to be more of an even fight, not "if he could kill her, then it'd have ended in a minute." Yeah, I was a bit disappointed that he beat her relatively easily in that first fight, though to be fair it was more there to show that Toru isn't the stone cold hardass he wants people to think he is. I did get the impression over the course of the show that she was more on the scouting, logistics, and actual sabotage side of being a saboteur rather than a straight up fighter like Toru, though. I don't know how the light novels or manga go, but it would be kind of neat if Akari ends up being a persistent antagonist in the second season, like if the mind control doesn't break even when the wizard is killed or something. She has at least managed to feel more threatening than any of the other enemies so far.

Well that's a hell of an episode to end on. Obviously massive spoilers: Our worst fears were proven wrong in the best way possible. Freddie is even more the best character in the best dnd campaign. However Gillette was not so lucky, but I suppose that is to be expected of a disposable razor  . We also get some hint now as to how Chaikas come about. Poor Vivi  .Freddie suggests that Toru contract with her to become a dragoon knight, but I can't be alone in hoping that it ends up being Akari instead so that she gets to actually do something, and each episode next season being the Freddie and Akari power half-hour would be great. chumbler fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Jun 26, 2014 |

HiveCommander posted:A satisfying end to the season, but I liked the fight with that knife brat despite it not being much of a 'fight': stand up, turn and stab. There was also Akari's walk up and crush a dude's skull in.
