I can't believe it took me until Alpha saying "come now, Lord Shadow would never talk like that" to realize that Cid talks to Delta completely differently from the way he talks to the rest of Shadow Garden.

Simple words and lots of repetition because Delta's brain is 1% cognitive functions and 99% HUNT AND KILL, true, but I think it's also because Delta has seen Cid punch good and that's all you need to do to impress Delta. All of his Shadow posing is just completely lost on her.

Knowing him he won't. I mean this is a guy who can't be bothered to learn the identities of his subordinates outside the ones he's known for years and he personally rescued each and every one of them.

As far as Alpha is concerned he already did, she's fine.

If their numbers are consistent, there's like 700 people there. I'm pretty sure most of the recruits never even met him.

Speaking of Delta, remember Cid casually sending her off to hunt Juggernaut since she was getting in his way? The short animators remembered:

I can't believe our boy has done some actual self reflection in this episode.

Well checking hi dive they only have episode listings up to 32, so a single cour is looking likely. That's too bad.

Look at it this way, if they end this right it's some extremely hard bait for a third season.

I like how Perv Asshat never bothers to actually open his jewelry case and look at his prize, not even to show it to his boss (who I think is voiced by DIO, need to look at a cast listing to make sure).

The extremely dramatic somber romance music playing while Cid eats cookies chatting with Rose is hilarious.

A nice touch that is in the manga and I presume the web/light novels but wasn't mentioned in the anime is that Cid initially considers doing the mob bit of actually being terrible at the piano, but he decides against it because it would embarrass Epsilon. He does care about the people he's involved with even if he doesn't want to admit it to himself most of the time.

Yeah Cid is funny like that - He wants to be a mob, he wants to be alone, but he really does care about nearly everyone he runs into, he just is really awkward about it and deludes himself about why he helps them.

He's chuuni as hell, long story short - everything has to have a 'fictional' justification for him to make it cooler.

What's the deal with the official novel translations being so slow, i would have thought they'd be trying to catch up what with the anime but its been 18+ months since vol 4 dropped in english, are they selling poorly or something?

yen press does english releases and they don't do digital only releases iirc, and the printing industry got hosed by covid. their release schedules for most other series they do haven't been very consistent as well though

but YP is also p opaque compared to other ln publishers so, like, nobody actually knows what's up with all the delay issues they've been having afaik

Movie or OVA is what I'd expect for the next arc based on its length, then probably a good while to have enough material for a third season.
