I'm watching this without having read the manga, and I'm enjoying it.

I like how Asirpa shows a silly side around Retar in this episode. I get the impression that her super-serious attitude is partially a front. This is sort of confirmed when she says "So I keep my distance, so I don't get too attached." (Referring to bear cubs, but it's hard not to suspect she has a similar attitude toward Sugimoto).

So we got another CGI bear.

But that's okay because we got this as well:





By the way, Huchi asking for Sugimoto to marry Asirpa was loving weird. Did she say that on the manga? I really don't recall.

Fairly sure she did, but maybe the TL was a little more vague.

I don't think it was vague in the manga but nothing like it ever happens again that I can remember

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

So glad the faces are getting better. I think they just needed to get used to going way off model to convey the feeling of those scenes.

They are getting better. Sugimoto pulled off his dead-eyedwistful face of disappointment when Asirpa tells him he sucks at scaring children.

"After that Funasaka lived what seemed to me a rich life, writing autobiography, running a bookstore, assisting local people in Palau Islands, etc. He’s also friends with the novelist Mishima Yukio, and the sword that Mishima used for seppuku was actually a gift from Funasaka."

Wait what.

"Mishima was active as a nationalist and founded his own right-wing militia, the Tatenokai. In 1970, he and three other members of his militia staged an attempted coup d'état when they seized control of a Japanese military base and took the commander hostage, then tried and failed to inspire a coup to restore the Emperor's pre-war powers. Mishima then committed ritual suicide by seppuku. The coup attempt became known as the "Mishima Incident".

"The Mishima Prize was established in 1988 to honor his life and works."

Noda-sensei has answered several questions about Shiraishi that fans asked. For instance, when it comes to romantic relationship, he described Shiraishi as a shirouto doutei (素人童貞). This means a man who has never had sex except with sex workers.

He has a case of potty mouth.
He also "only" told the dog to gently caress the bear. The translator chose that interpretation.

I love this spread :allears:

I gotta say, I don't really care about the cgi bears.
The not-quite-as-funny faces are improving, and the show hits a great many of the funny bits well.
Even if it didn't, I think this story, in a vacuum, is strong enough to pull even the most mediocre of adaptations up.


E: if i have one complaint, it's that I like Sutimoto the Immortal better as a name.
Sounds so much better when yelled at the top of one's lungs.

E2: someone make a gif of Retar's face watching the horse meat.

Eh, male mangaka making manly eye-candy catering to the ladies is that unheard of. While Shun Saeki (the dude in charge of Shokugeki no Soma's art) does a lot of cheesecake fanservice with women, also draws some really pretty boys / beautiful men.

Among them is Isshiki-senpai:


:swoon:

Also, Tanigaki is very hot. :kimchi:

Shun used to draw porn so he's well acquainted with the beauty of both the male and female body.

:yeah: A few H artists made the transition well to more mainstream stuff. Maybe/Meibii made the transition better with Dusk Maiden of Amnesia and one of his latest stories, The Tale of the Wedding Rings (which is actually being translated officially by Crunchyroll :eng101:) is probably my favorite serious "Isekai" manga/novel.
