I didn't think of that interpretation. I assumed it was a mushroom growing on her butt just to poo poo on her a bit more on this ep. Just absolutely no respect for her.

poor akira.

my favorite gag this episode is when reimi blames akira for being a restless sleeper and we clearly saw reimi rolling around like 5 minutes earlier

And the train line: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seibu_Ikebukuro_Line
Out heroines started all the way at the other end of the line.

Turns out that Hermit's Map is pretty spot on. It's pretty obvious not after a pile of stops that Circles are places without people (or people one can talk with). Squares have people one can actually talk with. I assume we're going to learn about Diamonds next episode.

It's starting to look a lot more plausible that they could make it to Ikebukuro by the end of the series

that ending hook caught me by surprise too. didn't expect any of them to start turning into animals since i thought it was only after 21 years and 3 months it happened? unless i'm misinterpreting what's happening to Akira
whelp

Okay I had a big chuckle at Akira's study tips to Reimi. Good to see the comedy in between just some real weird stuff

Well episode 4 certainly ended on the diamond. I'm not entirely sure how it's different from the squares though. But the circle just before it was certainly them driving through the ocean of internal organs, and the square before that was where everyone was turned into statues. And yeah, there is a military base of sorts in that area.

This episode was just the perfect mix of weird, some good comedy moments, some moments of just sheer terror, and moments that were all three at once. Like The half human goats ramming the train and the screaming vegetables. Just great stuff

In a tradition many series have been doing, there is now a mini-anime for the show.

my best guess now after ep 5: people related to the 5G incident, i would assume Zenjiro's role is unknown and Youka's location is too so hence first and last stops being just squares

Is there really a martial art where you just try and whack someone with your bow?

Wow, wibbly wobbly surgery is much worse than I thought. I assumed it was something along the line of a blast of 7g to the face, not getting a drill lobotomy. Little sad the doctor isn't going with them, wonder how she can possibly make it all the way back in a reasonable time frame.

between the episode 4 flashback, and the doctors explanation of the 7g incident and how perspective can shape the symptoms, i guess yoka is probably a bigger influence on what's happened to the world than i thought.

you weren't tipped off by the egregious forehead scar and completely inverted personality of Zenjiro in ep 1?

Okay I'm definitely on board with this show. It's funny and delightfully weird. I've gotta see where they end up going with this.
