Isabella's thing seems to be her eyes changing, or her fake smile.

Fabricated posted:Isabella's thing seems to be her eyes changing, or her fake smile. Yeah, that's my point. Isabella has her gaze change and a creepy smile while Krone's mouth, lips, and nose get bigger and then her gaze changes and gets a grotesque smile. In any case, it is pretty goddamn racist and while I personally can just kinda ignore it there is really no excuse nowadays in an animation project not to have someone around to point that "hey guys.... like.... about that sister Krone".

Question: if security inside the compound is kept intentionally barebones for the benefit of reducing the kids' overall stress and keeping them happy until the day of their departure, how do they justify keeping around kids who have discovered the secret, more so if those kids are threatening to escape and perhaps take others with them? Are the central cast "done" growing for all intents and purposes? Should we assume they're past the point where living under stress would have negative effects on their value to the demons? If so why not just lock them in a cage and wait to ship them out so they don't cause any trouble? If a little one accidentally saw a demon would they just have to be killed? Feel free to just say if this is all answered in the manga later, these are just questions I have about the setting from what I've been shown in the anime.

It seems like only humans actually know about the current situation, the demons are the ones that would want to ship them out right away. There would also probably be consequences of they had to ship our the kids early.

Yeah I got the impression that Isabella and Krone aren't telling the demons because their only priorities are self-preservation - they have no genuine loyalty to the demons, and a Mother telling them that secrecy had been compromised on their watch could only bring that Mother negative attention.

Also, Isabella is quite the rear end in a top hat and is enjoying the mind games.

She has that sort of creepy perfection to it where if it was revealed that she was a robot/android/clone or something it wouldn't be a surprise in the least for people. I definitely get where they were going in terms of their designs, but yeah, Sister Krone DEFINETLY had a lot of racist caricature designs.

This gets explained a bit better in the manga, but the kids of this farm are Deluxe High Grade product meant for the King at his banquet and other extended royalty and Norman, Ray, and Emma would basically be Acorn Jamon Iberico, the ultimate ham(sometimes over $1,000 in price)with pigs raised in the best conditions and allowed to eat the best stuff and even the others like Don and Gilda would be Premium Quality. Basically even the lowest quality kids are still better quality that most everywhere else and these are intended for the king so they don't want to waste them. There's more stuff, but it's spoiler territory I don't want to go into.

Sure doesn't look like Isabella's gonna be taking that Face Turn, I guess. Does still raise the question of what she showed Norman and why he looked so surprised by it last week - you would think he'd basically meet any obvious "oh that's there to kill me" answer with more resignation. PHIL THE TRAITOR?????

And while I don't think Mom is secretly good, I still think she has some sort of Plans that are at odds with the demons. Mainly since whatever it was that Norman saw when that door opened caught him completely by surprise, which considering how bright and meticulous he is, seems important.

I wouldn’t be shocked if she has her own idea of how to protect (or “protect”) the kids

The scenes were handled well but they missed such an easy layup here. Ray's attempted suicide should've been the cliffhanger of the episode. There's not really too much more to do that couldn't have all been done in the final episode.

I'm very glad the escape has finally started as well. I agree somewhat. I do believe the revelations would suffer from being jammed entirely in the last episode (and what else would they fill this episode with?), but it didn't feel like an asspull to me. We saw a lot of things that were suddenly recontextualized, from Emma and Norman talking bluntly with Krone, to some weird reactions of the young kids before Norman left, to the rather conspicuous bit with the kids playing next to the well. I feel... actually sort of hopeful?? This is very strange.

Oh, I think I was being a little strong with the word "asspull". I agree the foreshadowing was fine. I think I was reacting to Norman knowing exactly what would happen and the timing two months in advance.

No, nobody in the main group seemed to have *planned* to leave him behind - we cut to him immediately after the gang goes "wait are we missing someone?" Jokes aside, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's not *actually* a deliberate traitor but just a dumb baby blowing everyone's cover by going "Mommy why did everyone run off into the forest, I'm scared?"

I thought when krone was explaining, it was just the mom's/sisters that had something extra surgically implanted in their chests that would sound an alarm if they died. I don't think it was the same for the trackers. No idea what will happen next but looking forward to it.

I don’t know exactly where S2 would end, but I would really like to see The Battle of Goldy Pond.

They could clearly spend a lot of time on this issue before going back to the promise as yet another arc? I don't see the manga wrapping up in less than a year so it's still good spot for them to keep making an anime

Yeah that was not only a hell of an episode on it's own, but a drat good finale for this season as well. I was trying to remember: have we seen any adult men, whether in the flashbacks or shown guarding the gate or something? As i'm desperately trying to conjure up a plausible reason for Norman to still be alive (based entirely on the fact that he seemed to show surprise when the door opened instead of fear, anger, or resolve etc.), i'm wondering if he was selected to go do whatever the male equivalent of becoming a Mother is. Although i'm sure my speculation is just plain wrong, please don't tell me so one way or the other, thanks. a kitten fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Mar 29, 2019 |

I think in Krone's flashback we saw an adult man. He was the guy who dropped the mysterious pen.
