instead of erasing them, chise blew their souls into the afterlife or equivalent, with the cat king guiding them.

I took that the cat king was planning on guiding them, but when Chise made her wind revelation she realized she could get them there on their own without sacrificing Molly.

Which is how I will continue to interpret it. :colbert:


Edit: on rewatch Molly is in Chise's arms during the flower sequence. Long Live The King.

My cat likes to place her head in the crook of my neck as she sleeps. I might be a little reluctant to do that for awhile.

i feel like even the fan tl of the manga better expresses the magic than the subs did, no idea if its due to tl or the anime script though.

Wait, I thought Chise did the thing without the Cat King going with them, setting them on the path rather than needing the Cat King to guide.

Tingle tingle kooloo limpah.
These are my magic words.

Don't steal them.
The long-and-short of it is that magic basically works off of metaphor, and through a metaphor describing the cycle of life of dandelions had the Ariel (A wind fae,) along with her ability to channel the magic basically use "the wind" as a guide for them to the afterlife and move on.

i always got the impression from the manga that the cat king was necessary in guiding them, but on a reread it seems like chise handles it all and the cat king just isn't very prominent in the rest of the chapter.

It's fine as long as you haven't done anything towards cats that is likely to lead to eternal punishment through a horrible curse. Probably.

Really loved this episode. Aside from some weirdly timed comedic SD bits, this was a home run from start to finish.

Upon rewatch of episode 5, one very important question sticks out:

Pretty much this, probably. It's a thousand-cat death curse. Not the sort of thing that messes around!

She's definitely using glue to stick to that dress.

Despite that, it was a pretty cool scene. :)

Lmao they focused extra hard on Titania's breasts compared to the manga.

I really like the music during that scene. With the melancholic tone it reminded me a heck of a lot of the Nier soundtracks, which was pretty fitting.

I really like this series and its supporting cast, but yeah, Titania's boobs don't really warrant that proportion of the animation budget.

Still a good episode. :3:

I dunno, that lovingly animated slow jiggle was pretty hilarious.

I forgot how great Titania and Oberon are in general.

Considering how deliberate this show is about depicting magical/mythical beings, I do think there was a sort of intent to be specific in highlighting her womanly figure as she makes her entrance, since as the Fairy Queen she's definitely an idealized form in that respect.

That and some of the animation staff probably looked at the original design of her dress and were like "how would this actually work" :thunk: and took it as a challenge. :v:

I really doubt that. It just seemed like plain old anime fanservice, and frankly it was really distracting. Can't wait for the adaptation of Chapter 14 to see how much worse it gets. :japan:

I sort of thought this as well. Mostly because her chest was really saggy, which made me think of her as a fertility figure of sorts.

One of the problems after learning how to edit GIFs is that you start to see the difference between 24fps and 8fps, and sometimes you wonder what things look like when they are slowed down given the frames, but on rare occasions you wonder the opposite, and then you stabilize the image, and now you've created a monster good job brain!

What are you using for image stabilization? And/or interpolation too maybe?

Small jobs: brute force in Photoshop. Large jobs: edit video file in NLE software of choice then gif it afterwards.

I am not a believer in anime interpolation, so none of that.
