ViggyNash posted:Whether this is the case or not, I like to think that skills in Grimgar are literal physical/magical actions that they had to train specifically to be able to do well enough to use, like learning different skills in a sport or a martial art. A lot of real-world skills have pretty fancy and totally arbitrary names as well. They do have to train them. There's a scene in the LN where the MC is learning a skill (don't know if it's shown up yet in the show, though if it hasn't it will soon since I remember it wasn't long after Mary joining the party), and he learns it by having it repeatedly used against him by his teacher (and presumably practicing it himself as well). So it's not like in The Gamer where they're just given a skill book that grants the ability. Not sure how it works with the magic users; that's probably different since, aside from the chant itself, they have to have some sort of contract with the elemental involved.

That was a neat episode. And I got a laugh out of myself because I said "hey, weren't the gonna get that dude a real helmet?" two seconds before they asked Mary if she wanted to come along while they did just that.

Archer girl's verbal tic (catchphrase? phrase-suffix?) is so distinct to my ears that I can't help but notice it, then chuckle at myself wondering why I notice it every single time. It's not like I'm annoyed by it, but my subconscious is recognizing that the VA is doing a stellar job. The show could use more Moguzou rear end.

You mean how she ends every sentence with naa? That doesn't seem too unusual to me, as far as anime accents go. To me it feels like the stereotypical valley girl adding, like, "like" to every sentence. It's not a strange nonsense sound or anything, it's just a generic phrase that denotes a bit of uncertainty and a desire for affirmation, y'know? Also filtered through an accent of some sort.

Yes, that. I more often don't hear them or don't pay attention to them, even the blatantly obvious and tryhard ones (infamous moment when I was wondering why the gently caress everyone was making "desu desu" references to Rosen Maiden even though I watched the whole show), but this one just stuck out to me v  v

I always find the semi-polite 'su' (shortened desu) style cute.

I was sort of hoping that when the first priest died, his brother would show up with similar mannerisms/role and reference events he didn't participate in and knowledge he shouldn't have.

The story seems to be more "what if ordinary kids were actually put into an RPG-like world?" and less "the world is literally an RPG."

Are Japanese verbal ticks (or stuff like people talking in Kansai dialect) generally noticeable to people who don't know any Japanese? I imagine that at least "ending the sentence in _____" verbal ticks should be easily noticeable.

I always notice the kansai accent now, and could tell right away that Arata from Chihayafuru has a very thick accent, even if I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly what is different.

I never notice it (except for maybe Tsuraya in Haruhi) because I am too dumb to be able to listen closely while reading subtitles.

you'd think people would have some qualms about the fact the goblins basically act like humans before killing them. also, girl has a gigantic forehead

they do. that's been a bit of a minor theme, more early on than now though. manato spent the whole first 3 episodes saying "the goblins are desperate to live too" while ranta got grossed out about cutting into their bones this episode was good. it felt like a final episode. i guess with 4 more episodes to go that's enough time to kill the kobold too

ninjewtsu posted:they do. that's been a bit of a minor theme, more early on than now though. Yeah, the uneasy feeling that everyone's getting about the main characters killing goblins is clearly very deliberate. Makes me wonder if it's actually going to be a plot point or if it's just another aspect of how bleak of a place Grimgar is. RIP Blue Gob. You will be missed.

Ka0 posted:Do we have a pool on who's going to end up smooching Haru. My money's on Yume. Light novel convention says nobody will end up smooching Haru until a dozen or so volumes from now (wacky sitcom misunderstandings excluded). But yeah, he and Yume do seem to be pretty obviously set up as the show's main couple. Unless they go ahead and pair her up with Ranta. Which would be awful, but it's a particular light-novel kind of awfulness that the show has not shown itself to be totally immune to.

Ka0 posted:Do we have a pool on who's going to end up smooching Haru. My money's on Yume. Yume should kiss Shihoru, but since her first crush got killed it seems to me that the conventions of fiction say that the mage will have to remain forever kissless. So, if Yume gets to kiss anyone it should be Haru. I think Haru potentially has much better chemistry and more in common with Mary though, especially after this latest episode. It's complicated.

A single cour is just the standard these days, unless something is expected to be exceptionally popular. Then they can decide whther or not to make a sequel based on how well it does. It has nothing to do with how long the original series is, and they never expect to reach anywhere near the end anyway. From the publisher's perspective (who are the ones giving the bulk of the funding), the whole anime is just an advertisement for the books anyway.
