Holy poo poo I don't have the words for this show.

Edit: It's been several hours and I'm still internally screaming.

I'm having a blast with this one. My mind is still blown by the ア in circle = a ni maru thing. He speaks English, there's no way he doesnt know that sounds like "animal," and same with the rather leonine cop's name sounding like Leo to western ears. I genuinely can't wait to see why there are signs saying "animal" all around the city.
Wait, explain? I didn't see this.

Welp, one of my theories regarding the use of boxes in the series was tossed out, but so much more was added.

Given it gets something wrong in the first paragraph, I'm not sure how accurate it is about the rest, but it's something to start from.

Well, that explains a lot.

Can someone explain what the otter puns in Japanese were at the end of the last episode? Right now all I got is that maybe the cops are otters in human form as an extension of some of the myths.

So I was wondering when a zombie's desire would unambiguously be a fetish, guess we got there.

I mean all of them have been fetishes, its just this one a more common one

Yes, they're all fetishes, but I remember seeing several explanations by others in the past that involved them not being fetishes. He just wants to be taken care of by his girlfriend (he's not into pet play), he just wants to remember being close to her (he's not into drinking her bath water), etc.

We're sure at the halfway point of an Ikuhara show.

Just rewatched the first two episodes with three people, one of whom has seen all of Utena, one of whom has seen through all of Sailor Moon and the second season of Utena, and one of whom was a complete Ikuhara virgin. It was amazing.

Ikuhara bingo at last.

After one last tweet that said (more or less) "I have always and will always love you #Mabu"

Luckily, there is an archive with the translations here.

Does anyone remember reading about how the initial description for this week's episode was replaced with another? I don't remember where I saw that.

My brain was confused, that looks correct.

Can we talk about how Reo is blamed for everything wrong in their relationship in the present, despite Mabu literally just going through the motions?

Well Mabu can't do anything more or his heart will explode.

I thought it was just that he couldn't say it. Yes, you can show love through actions, but often he wasn't even meeting Reo's eyes.

No I recall actions were limited as well.

Guess I have a reason to rewatch! (Like I needed one.)

That was a much more optimistic ending than I was expecting, and I'm ok with that.

Well, the effect is lessened when they add "soiya" to the end, but I'm still cringing while wanting to hum along, so that's close enough.
