My guess? Someone died leaning on the railing. And it'll come up somehow.

Given how much this show is on-point when it comes to Saga that's probably just what the actual rail says

the saddest part of this episode was how tae looked genuinely sad for a second when sakura didnt recognize her

also my favorite subtle gag in this show is how lily's star is consistently depicted as being made of heavy, sharp metal, like how it goes stuck in the floor when sakura threw it down. i hope yugiri uses it as a shuriken to kill that one cop in the last episode.

That makes a lot of sense... maybe Kotaro has been trying to do this Zombie thing for a while but Tae/Romero were his first attempts and he totally messed up. That's why he went to Hollywood and then he picked up makeup artistry along the way.

This needs to be made canon. It's too perfect not to be. And yeah my contact from Reddit told me that this show and Gridman are HEAVILY leading the pack in BD sales at at about 10k each. This was from a post a week and half ago so the numbers have likely risen since then.

Holy poo poo it's super rare for my favourite animes of the season to actually be in the top for BD sales, since Japanese tastes (as in, people willing to spend money on anime, mind you) seem to be.... different or just bad judging from prior lists I've seen.

Keep in mind there's some things that make more money in ways other than BDs. Straight BD sales are only really a priority for an original anime with no secondary sources of income, which Gridman would fall into, and this would kind of fall into since I doubt they'd have been expecting the CDs to sell much/to put on many or even any concerts.

For something like an adaptation of a game or manga, the bigger priority would be the source material's sales improving. And for something that DOES have a secondary source of income, like Symphogear, where the focus is clearly on selling CDs, that would be the bigger priority.

You can actually see this even with this show, since they didn't just say BD sales, they said 'BD sales, tourism to saga and merch sales, including CDs.' So if something's BDs sell poorly, it's not necessarily a sign of failure.

People have been calling it the sleeper hit of the season, something like kemono in that it went under the radar and blew up. The music disks were selling fine but the download for the singles were really loving high, stuff like very expensive tours around the areas that the producers based the scenes on were being sold out. I remember reading about some confectionery items that were produced in a local chain down there also selling out nearly instantly and people had to travel to saga to get them. And whats funny, people complained that the things were low in supply and they could expand production elsewhere and make it more available but were completely understanding that it was a way to boost tourism to Saga.

I really hope that whoever pushed through the idea of advertising Saga through weird idol anime gets a raise or at least sizable end-of-the-year bonus.

From the way people were talking about this episode I thought they went with the Sakura-didn't-die-in-the-accident twist but I'm glad they didn't. We were just deliberately kept in the dark about Sakura beyond a brief moment up to her death, and her amnesia covered up the rest.

Yeah, turns out it was the opposite. Nothing we saw was untrue, and we’ve been seeing everything...from the point the story began, anyway. That’s pretty clever.

The part where Sakura was moping in the park and apathetically tells the cop it's whatever if he shoots her was a little more real than I expected this to get. :smith:

Dessel posted:

Tae being depressed in the corner making a noise when Sakura was rejecting them was hilarious.

...Also those were some extremely detailed rail warnings for some reason.


Considering Sakura's suicidal vibe in the episode, I'm pretty sure it's just supposed to call attention to that.

To put it another way: When a 'normal' person sees a warning like that, they don't even consider it, it's information so irrelevant it just passes through their head without lingering for a moment. The only reason someone would stop to pay that much attention was if they were intending to jump.

Sakura throws herself under a truck. As always she messes up and now she's immortal :v

Yeah, this ep felt more like a victory lap, but I enjoyed it. No idea why the CGI looked so choppy though... shouldn't it be easier to give us more frames?

Anyway, super glad people here convinced me to watch this. One of the most enjoyable shows of the season.
