The fictional characters bringing up how tastes and smells are muted in their worlds because they're under described in the media is a clever touch.

yes the first time, and then they did it another 5 times

yeah i love seeing the exact same food scenes 2 times per episode while endless badly directed exposition happens. the show treats the audience like idiots, and people loving it is the least surprising thing ever. at least it proves the boredom that was fate zero wasn't urobochis fault, cause this is the exact same trash

The writers know it's monotonous, which is why they have these food montages while she's explaining stuff.

which is like the laziest possible thing they could have done. 14 minutes of this episode was just the cast sitting around in a room (afterwards we got to 'enjoy' the other part of the cast doing the same), while miss monotone goes through the exposition, but then again that's the entire show so far. its just characters telling you everything. they pick the least creative and interesting option constantly. when saberface or the persona villain talk about their world, why not at least have the decency to show something of the world while they talk, even stills would be better than what we get. when meteora talks about the game, why not show her playing it? you can still have her debriefing to the others, but for god sake actually show her playing the game and making her conclusions, rather than just talking about it. there's been a bunch of times that the characters just say how they feel, rather than showing it. its not like they don't have anything to work with or don't know how, episode 1 was much better about this. the drat op tells us more about the characters and their worlds than the actual show! some of these designs are at least 2 years old too, there's no way rei hiroe didn't work out their worlds in that time.


oh and this show being a double cour is 0 excuse for the exposition, before that gets brought up. if anything, that gives them more time to spread it out or show it rather than just throwing it all at us at the start
