roomtone posted:Apart from the first couple, I think my favourite episode was probably the one with the marriage backstory. I didn't see it coming and I think the betrayal was quite affecting, and typically disappointing. That her husband liked her being a fighter, but the second he realised she was better than him, he turned her in. Within the context of the story there probably are not many others. Dude was basically the only foreign person in Japan for a significant period of time, it is entirely possible that there is nobody else on Earth as fluent as him in both English and Japanese.

Data Graham posted:Having just rewatched episode 2, uh here's a bit of a delicate question. Is binding as painful/injurious as depicted? I know it obviously varies by person, but in Mizu's case it looked like it was showing her bleeding through her clothes while working at the forge, and having to keep soaking in seawater to soothe what looked like heinously red/chafing skin. That part seems pretty self-evident, but is there permanent physical change that can occur from that? From stuff like Yentl I had always imagined it as being a more or less cosmetic/temporary thing you could do under the clothes as needed for one occasion or another, and figured changing chest size through pressure over time was not really a thing, just as the dumb facebook memes about ham sandwiches are not a thing. I am extremely unfamiliar with how breasts work It is extremely not good for you. It can damage your skin, lungs, ribs, mess up your back, cause permanent damage, and in general it is an extremely painful thing. In modern day you can specialized custom-fit binders that reduce the risks but even then it's more of a thing where you only wear for ~8 hours a day or you get specialized binders made for exercise. It isn't something you do casually for long periods of time and if you intend to then you generally need some good advanced planning to avoid significant issues. Someone like Mizu who is not really going to be getting custom-fitted binders and who is having ridiculous anime sword fights is going to be in basically neat-constant agony.

My assumption is that the sword is going to end up being the reason for Ringo (and maybe Taigen) to go overseas so they can deliver it to Mizu in time for her kickin' rad fight against a chaingun or something.
