I just noticed that the new cast members get added to the openings. That's absolutely lovely.

Wait, what? I thought everybody was there from the beginning.

You know, the whole telepathy thing hasn't really been used much. Did they forget it existed?

Considering he burned the power out on every reappearing character in like the second episode it was doomed to be a one-off gimmick.

Honestly I'm glad the telepathy has barely been used, would be easy to overuse that gimmick.

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

I felt like they were going to bring it back for the finale, like use it to manipulate some big name pop star to hold a concert at the park in order to meet the deadline. But they've let too much time pass, and Kanye seems legit worried about the visitor rate's trend, so it'd feel out of character to do it now.

Evening, patrolmaaan.
To be fair if I had the ability to read minds but it only worked once per person, I would pretty much never use it just in case there was a situation where I really needed to use it on a particular person.

Getting caught up on this show and it's the most I've enjoyed a KyoAni show in a while.

Latest episode brings it back up when involving intense negotiations (which is exactly the perfect time to use it).

Pretty sure he could have figured out 'they're more likely to go for it if I offer it free + pay for everything' without using his mind reading powers though.

Probably just assurance, or maybe he was put on the spot considering Toriken completely screwed up his part.

So selling off the southern part of the park is just make up for all the money lost by paying for the soccer game right?
Seems weird that the debt collector guy would set the target as visitors through the gates instead of profit generated when the park can do things like this and the 30 yen promotion to inflate the visitor numbers but it won't be sustainable in the long term.

To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.

The thing is, sustainable strategies probably wouldn't have revitalized the park any time soon. The park was going to have to take losses somewhere, either in terms of capital or profit, in order to sustain itself. The question that then comes up is whether or not the park can become attractive in the longterm and show potential for future growth. Basically, if it's able to make gains with the sacrifices. For example, they couldn't have only charged zero admission and tried to host 10 soccer games to finish the deal. They had to actually improve the park.

At least, that would be some kind of business rationale for it. I'm pretty sure the guy's just a dick.

That definitely felt like a last episode, can't decide whether next weeks is more likely to be nothing but fan-service or setting stuff up for (an eventual) season 2.

Having silly irrelevant episodes after the climatic end of an anime is a tradition, that, if not done as part of the series proper, is released later as an OVA. :v:

That last episode should not have been part of the series proper. I liked it and thought it fit well, but that was a bad place to put it.
