That was a really awesome concert. I also liked Mamechiyo's shamisen part.

And, ya know, staging a rock concert while being bombarded by Buddha shaped missiles. And then, "That drummer sure can play for an old guy! I didn't know a Shamisen could be played like that!!"

Do they have a military industrial complex that sells Buddha shaped missiles to the various city-states? Why would a stage also have a massive self-defense mechanism built-in? How much energy do the lasers use?" We know who made the missiles. It's the evil carpenter guys who also made the weapons in every arc so far. They made the deathtrap roller coaster, they made the roomba bomb, they blew up the shachihoko and they made the Buddha missiles. Turning innocuous things into bombs seems to be their specialty.

Main mystery of the show, for me, is why the hell Chiaya turns into an octopus... thing when she falls asleep. It's happened at least twice so far, what's up with that?

Also, checking earlier episodes, there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it instance in the same episode as the freezer bit, around the 11 minute mark when Dandy is attacked by the guy who only talks in revs. Everyone ducks, and Chiaya is in her "octopus" form.

What does it say about me that I didn't know the octopus-thing was a recurring thing and that it was actually Chiaya until now?  Granted I was wondering why Chiaya was frozen cold in episode 5 and what the hell that thing bouncing around after getting stepped on was in this episode. However, it never seemed important enough for me to care and there is so much weird stuff in this show that it wasn't all that noticeable or significant until I learned that the octopus-thing is one of the main characters.

That was great. My favorite since the opening episodes, for sure. It regained the frenetic energy that's been lacking these last few. The concert was awesome, but it was also lame. A rock concert with the crowd wearing matching ponchos is lame, even with the sky ablaze with cannon fire. It's weird how Funimation and Crunchyroll are opposite on which songs they subtitle (OP/ED vs. insert).

You know, apart from a couple of occasionally-deployed running gags, I'm really not sure what you'd lose if you cut Yukina from the story. She doesn't seem to have a thematic or emotional connection to... anything, really.

It seems to me that they could just as easily and effectively been one or perhaps two instead.

Do anime studios do this on purpose or are they just sloppy with misspellings? I suppose it's funny either way. Also, all I could think of was that she's a cannibal!  This episode left me with way, way more questions than answers. At least we now know why Chiaya turns into the octopus at times. When the most difficult questions of any mystery need to be answered -- aliens is always the best and final answer.

English is not their first language so silly mistakes occur. Also she turns into a octopus weiner not a an octopus.

Well this episode was wierd. Wierd-er, since the show was already bizarre on its own. I'm really liking this show. It's not the best, but it's nice and cute and I'm definitely looking forward to the episode each week, which is more that I can say about other shows.

I wish the main characters had more to them other than just being generically cute, I know that they're more there to enable the story to focus on the journey and meeting the actually fun characters but four of them seems a bit much if you're not going to bother giving them personalities other than 'gets lost a lot'. I still like the show since it's not really about them and it occasionally looks amazing but if the remaining episodes focus on the stones and Chiaya being an alien like it's pointing to then eh.

I think they're basically there to be proxies for us laymen/women, but with a few simple personality traits so they are at least somewhat interesting. The Chiaya being an alien reveal was pretty bland though, and despite the absurd amount of plot (absurd for the show at least) I didn't really like it much. It's not a bad episode, but not that good either. I just hope wherever we're headed it was worth this setup episode.

Don't worry! There are two other subplots they have to resolve at the same time so the alien story may not be the entire finale. One subplot seems to be Momotaro except with an Ostrich and a Sloth instead of a Pheasant and a Monkey and the other looks to be part of Kaguya-Hime.

I got bored, I thought episode 8 was great, and I'm pathetic, so I wrote an extremely timely transcription of Stones, the ending insert (mostly by ear). 山を超えて 谷を超えて 川を流れ 石は転がる 足りない頭で考えて 足りない何かを探してる 僕ら小さな冒険者 時々道に迷って 途方に暮れるけど Over mountains and through valleys And down rivers roll the stones Trying to figure things out with our lacking heads Trying to find what we're lacking Each on a tiny adventure And while we may get lost on the way - 青い春を転げる名無しのストーンズ 蹴っ飛ばされて 弾かれて すり減る日々に 丸くなるなよ 歌いながら僕らは この世界を笑い転げて 明日へと! The nameless stones roll on through the verdant spring Spending their lives being kicked, turned, and worn down But never turning quiet and round We'll sing as we roll with laughter across the whole world And roll into the future!  shamisenドロに塗れ埋もれて 名無しのストーンズ 選んだ道は 違うけど 苔生すなんて まだ早いだろう 似合わないだろう The nameless stones are covered with dirt And they've chosen different paths, but We're not gathering moss just yet It's not for us anyway 青い春を転げる名無しのストーンズ 蹴っ飛ばされて 弾かれて すり減る日々に 丸くなるなよ 歌いながら僕らは この世界を笑い転げて 明日へと! The nameless stones roll on through the verdant spring Spending their lives being kicked, turned, and worn down But never turning quiet and round We'll sing as we roll with laughter across the whole world And roll into the future!

Lucy Heartfilia posted:She's well on her way to become a number two. And then it's only a last tiny step to become the number one aka a best. This is actually backwards. Through most of the show, she's just a One. While Haru and Ura are fighting over Momo, she becomes a Two. In the closing credits, after climbing that rock in the ocean or whatever, she becomes a Three. This ties into what her dad told her that she won't be able to do anything until she's a Five. I used spoilers to be polite, even though the show is over.
