Given the subtitle of the season, it's going to be sad when they have to probably kill off Red Chaika and her crew at the end.

Also someone make a looping gif of Chaika turning bright red and back.

vvvv Yeah next week looks like it's going to be rad as hell.

Probably not, the "Avenging Battle" is most probably because of half Chaika's wanting revengeance for Gillet.

vvvv
Thank you

Dragon=cat=teenager is such a great combo for dungeons & dragons a fun action/adventure/comedy show like this.

No one really expected Frederica to be 70% cat, 20% dragon and 10% girl. Her demeanor is entirely cat, like thats how a cat would act if it could turn into a dragon/ girl.

Yeah, but it's a lot funnier seeing a human girl bite the head off a live fish than a cat.

I dunno man, cats are pretty vicious, but Frederica's straight up bloodthirsty. I'd put it at like 55% cat, 40% dragon, and 5% girl.

But yeah, Frederica ended up a lot better than people were dreading at the end of her intro episode.

It also helps with the problem of "why don't they just have Frederica murderize every one of their opponents?" since she is both capricious and lazy. And also probably amused by watching them struggle.

Above gif summarises my feelings about gifcam. I used to do it manually, where I'd alternately mash Frame-Step and Save-Image in MPC then put the whole thing through photoshop. Gifcam saved me.

.webm is still a bitch though, I have to convert my .mkv into an .mp4 with Handbrake, chop it down with movie maker, export another .mp4, then process the thing with Miro Video Converter to finally reach a .webm.

GoonCam is my go-to:

I'm all caught up now, and I have to say, the characterizations in this are perfect. I don't think I've ever seen anything funnier than when Frederica hops over to Tooru Muhammed Ali style and gives him the ol' R-L-R combo

But People have fears that beasts do not. Questions, too.
I just started watching this yesterday and I really dig it. For some reason I get a Malazan vibe from the world/characters - something about soldiers after a big war trying to apply their skills, maybe. My favourite line so far is probably from S1E8:

- Over there.
- The prison is underground?
- Can you get her out from here?
- Nope. Let's go.

Toru is great.

So, Hartgan's daughters are Twin Black Chaikas, right? Or am I just losing it? Either way he's definitely connected with all of this since well, Gilette's there. :ohdear:

I'm thinking that Hartegan is Gaz, or at least one of his creations. In any event, Guy is obviously working for the guy, since he teleported Gilette to him.

Akari can be pretty :stonk: when she puts her mind to it. Her descriptions about what could be happening to chaika were pretty graphic.

I just think that Tohru doesn't want to put himself in debt to Frederica, because at some point she's gonna call it in and try to kill him.

And by 'when she puts her mind to it', you mean 'all the time'. It's basically her thing.

Honestly, it's a tough debate who the least hosed-up member of Team Chaika is.

Most of the things she says are more in the lines of :stonklol:, what she was saying to Tohru at the beach was 100% :stonk:. I know he was visualizing what she was saying and freaking the gently caress out, he just did a good job hiding it.

Well its a bit jarring to me but I haven't made up my mind yet about, if it's bad enough to drop it. I'm still watching it so far.

I thought it was pretty cute. But I noticed (though I don't speak Japanese so) it doesn't sound like she says any of the typical variations of what she's apparently saying. Is it like baby version of words or is it a different level of honorifics? IE isn't "yes" "hai", but she says something that sounds like "ui"

Might be "yes" in her native language.

I've heard the complaint that from the next room it sounds like she's baby-talking. I understand enough Japanese so that it's not just high-pitched noises, but I can get how it would annoy some.

I've always thought the same, but I'd never heard the complaint before and it surprised me that it only came up a season and some in.
