Kid, don't threaten me. There are worse things than death, and uh, I can do all of them.
I just burned through this and i thought it was great, but I am bummed that it appears that Jean really is clueless about what's going on and doesn't secretly have a plot within a plot.

Yeah im back on board, holy gently caress that was really well foreshadowed by a shitload of interactions throughout this whole show. And they did two regions in one episode to speed things along on the inspection front.

This series has been very chill but I would not mind some action (even just a flurry of political manuvering) when the coup goes down.

I'm especially hoping the rest of Inspection HQ gets a cool moment like when Owl rescued Lotta from the kidnappers. Those ladies may be all about 10:00 snack time, but they in HQ for a reason.

This show was great, but a little too chill for me, the ~true villian~ was defeated a little too easily. Still good though, and really easy to recommend to people who usually aren't into anime because it has very little nonsense going on.

Well like ACCA you can have things that ~make it anime~ like the food porn; have it take place in space like in LotGH, or in an alternate history 19th century fantasy Earth with cat girls. I leave it up to Japan to figure this out.

And to be more precise, even if it were just talking heads it'd appeal to people who typically don't really watch live action shows like House of Cards and so on.

Did you watch Log Horizon? There is a fair bit of political maneuvering and other "sneaky plans getting revealed dramatically" in parts of the show. They use the backdrop of "trapped in a fantasy videogame world" but its not poo poo like sword art because the initial threat is not something mundane like death, but instead boredom. I liked it a lot.
