a kitten posted:As much as this sucks, after learning the "who's Rem" spoiler sometime in the years between seasons I had assumed she had been eaten by the Whale and was irretrievably gone*, whereas with this Gluttony thing I have some hope she and the other victims could be restored. (not sure how much hope, but some) Yeah, it seems like Knife Boy's power is "just" editing the memories of everyone on the planet. Which is an improvement over season 1 where I was assuming people eaten by the whale were retroactively removed from history or something.

A hearty chuckle at Subaru cutting off the exposition dump. Not that it would have helped, as it turns out.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Echidna is the "Mother of Monsters" from Greek mythology, responsible for creating horrors that terrorized the world (usually until gods or heroes killed them). Naming the marsupial after her was, I'm pretty sure, an ironic choice. Tangent, but: it's not a marsupial.

Yawgmoft posted:Were the other witches ever coded as bad, or just Envy? Well, Echidna seemed to think they weren't so bad, but she's hardly an unbiased source.

I guess Emilia auto-failed the test because, as an amnesiac, she doesn't have enough past to flash-back to. Or Echidna's just a dick. Which seems likely considering that she's actively administering this test that's kept all these people trapped for however long.

Sindai posted:oh Garfiel you grumpy cat, it's not even Monday! He's even orange and striped. Subaru's forgiven people for killing him in an aborted timeline (e.g. Rem, Puck), but I think it's going to be a bit harder to get over someone killing his friends right in front of him.

I'm glad to see that not all the other witches were blameless good guys unfairly villainised by history. Grey-goo-bunny witch was probably more of a threat than whatever Satella did.

I'm not entirely convinced that the guiding intelligence of Subaru's power (and hence possibly whatever was going on at the end of the last episode) actually is Satella, rather than some semi-autonomous thing she created.

Lost amongst the more dramatic things that happened in the episode, but yeah, that is how people who actually had to share a world with fairies would react to that comparison.

So could Subaru give elf-clone girl the order "Do not feel obliged to follow any orders, past or future, from Echidna or her representatives"? Because I would have at least tried that.

Kind of wondering what the mechanics of magically enforced contracts actually are in this world. It seems unusual for this type of thing that Echidna could even try to set one up without telling Subaru all the terms and conditions. (And I think Subaru's being a little harsh on Echidna here. Almost everyone he knows is pursuing an idiosyncratic set of goals, to the detriment of conventional morality.)

I took it as she's far from emotionless, but she doesn't really understand why she should care about other people, especially if it gets in the way of her obsessions (plus being in Ghost Jail for however long can't have helped). For now, I'm assuming she's a bad person, rather than anything truly inhuman.

It seems Subaru was even more messed up by the last couple of events than I'd expected. I don't think end-of-season-1 Subaru would have had trouble believing his friends liked him.Clarste posted:I have realized that Echinda actually represents all the readers who complain that Subaru isn't doing the "rational" thing by constantly killing himself to obtain minor advantages. Trust me, they are. But I still would have liked some more answers out of Satella, whom I'm starting to suspect might not be all that evil after all. (And what did Minerva do to be included in Subaru's "you're all crazy" comments?)

There's also plot (or at least relevant backstory) in this week's Break Time, so don't skip that if you usually do. On Regulus and Pandora: they're puzzle bosses, like 'Guese was. I expect once we know why they don't die when they're killed, neutralising them will be (fairly) straightforward - if that's even something that needs to happen. Speculation: Regulus seems to have two layers of bullshit: some attacks seemed to hit a force-field thing in front of him, but also he regenerated a broken neck when one attack did get through. Pandora's theme is "vanity" so whatever she has probably matches that. Maybe she can't be changed? Would explain why she still looks like a child - she's stuck with whatever form she had when she got the power. It doesn't explain what she did to Regulus, or the mind powers she used on Emilia, but a person can have more than one trick.

I guess we finally know what the masculine form of "witch" is. Though we're still no closer to knowing what a witch is. Echidna seems to just be a normal (if skilled) magician, but some of the others clearly had "powers".

I think some people working in the production must be assuming they'll get a season 3, because otherwise it seems weird to introduce the whole "Rem's in a coma" plotline and then spend the rest of the double-length season doing something else.
