Moriarty 8 - 11 (FINAL) | HypMic 12 - 13 (FINAL) | Taiso Samurai 7 - 9 | Akudama 9 - 12 (FINAL)
Hopefully Iâll be able to get on to all that backlog soon, because...I donât want it to keep accumulating and Skate-Leading Stars (first winter 2021 anime) already has an advance 1st ep. up...
Moriarty 8
(Moriarty 8 notes deleted accidentallyâŚ)
Moriarty 9
If you want a modern equivalent to the Baker Street Irregulars, then Iâd suggest you look this way *jabs finger at Odd Jobs Yamada (from HypMic)*.
These CGI background horse and carriages areâŚkind of distractingâŚ
Iâm guessing back in those days, the Irregulars were better than Google at finding infoâŚbecause Google didnât exist until the internet did.
Moriarty 10
Just this ep and one more until the endâŚat least, until spring 2021.
Wow, the use of colour here is really striking!
White lilies meanâŚpurity/chastityâŚ?
Iâve never heard of âbending someoneâs earâ until now. It means to talk to someone, especially to ask a favour or to talk at length.
Probatio diabolica: the devilâs proof. I didnât even know that was a concept until nowâŚ(I never once studied law, as you can tell.)
âWilliamâ isnât normally shortened to âLiamââŚItâs normally âWillââŚalso, notice all the footprints on the floorâŚ
Moriarty 11 (FINAL)
Last ep. before spring 2021.
LOL, kabedon.
The fishy thing about Brits is that theyâve named things across the world names from Britain. I know thereâs a Doncaster which isnât anywhere near Britain, for one thingâŚ
Observe the weird finger-like marking made by one of the bloodstains and the scratches on the suitcase. The latter was probably forced open.
Considering the number of signs the killer left, he was clearly in a hurryâŚ
Well, based on that shoeprint we can find the killer if we can find traces of blood on his shoe.
âDuramâ (sic).
Ah! If it was raining in Durham, then there would be traces of mud on the killerâs shoes. I remember early on in Detective Conan Shinichi, then newly shrunk, deduced Agasa was running in the rain based on the mud on his pantsâŚthis is similar.
Chloral (hydrate�).
The âwashroomâ (apparently a Canadian term, the British term is âwater closetâ) has privacy and a place to get rid of the evidence, to some extent.
What about the rest of Eddieâs clothes?
Considering there are still 5 minutes of the ep. leftâŚthereâs going to be some kind of stinger for the next season. I can feel it.
WaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaitâŚDirector Holmes??? Yâmean, Mycroft?! That is a good stinger! See you next time.
HypMic 12
âEver since I was born, there was never a time Iâd felt Iâd accomplished something.â â Aw, Doppo, sweetpea (<- this blogger calls people âsweetpeaâ when theyâre feeling lots of moe feels for them). Please donât say that. Youâve accomplished more than enough in your life!
âŚOh, almost didnât notice it until Hifumi hid behind Doppo and the angle changed to confirm the jacket was on the bed, but Hifumi doesnât have his jacket on.
I think I saw a tweet that said something about a wall being wrecked (specifically âWall: OwâŚâ) but I wasnât sure of the context, so I saved it in my bookmarksâŚLOL, so thatâs what it means?
Samatoki, I know you donât like IchiroâŚbut please stop trying to preach what his 2nd character song says in the titleâŚ(i.e. Break the Wall, LOL)
Jyutoâs very much a âIâll leave this problem to the other guyâ guy.
When the Funi subs say âdameâ, I think Samatoki is just referring to an âonnaâ (woman). Itâs a bit of an odd choice, reallyâŚalthough I canât go and interrogate whoever was responsible for it. I donât have the authority or the contacts that will allow me to.
This is not the time for fighting one another!!!
Notably, in the manga, Jakurai was going to chaffeur Hifumi and Doppo to their place, but then he had to go to work and so they rode the train with their prize money. This ârun from Special Forcesâ ending is better, I think, since people got grumpy at Jakurai for having to abandon them with the money.
ââŚpermission to cover a story.â - Permission fromâŚwho?
*screams* I was thinking Tom, Rex and Iris worked for a foreign government! They work for Ichijiku â why didnât I think of that?!
LOL, I couldnât even tell what Tom was saying until I played it backâŚitâs English, justâŚsaid in a spot where you donât expect it.
ââŚthat scares me.â â This may be nitpicky of me, but osoreru is actually a derivative of osore (fear), so âit strikes fear in meââŚ? âIt strikes fear in my heartâ? What would sound rightâŚ?
Go, host mode Hifumi! (...but does that imply host mode Hifumi is the only âversionâ of Hifumi able to rap? Certainly, he was able to do Wrap and Rap without his jacket, rightâŚ?)
You can tell Tom still respects Jakurai after all this time because he (the former) calls him (the latter) âSenseiâ. Also, thisâll be interesting, we havenât seen many mics and speakers beyond the standard bad guy ones (depicted in both the anime and the manga).
My gosh! All I knew of this song was that m-flo, also responsible for Human Lostâs theme song (and notably theyâre a hip hop group with techno influences), was responsible for this song. Man, this s*** slaps! Itâs great! (Sorry, Iâve just never really had the chance to capitalise on all the info I gathered on EDM DJs when talking in terms of things from JapanâŚm-flo is basically the only act I know which does that, so Iâm really excitedâŚcanât you tell from how verbose Iâm getting in this note?)
Thatâs interesting that Matenrou won and Tom still took the gold chair symbolism to represent him and the Secret Aliens as the victor instead.
Irisâs parts are awesome. M-flo has a female vocalist and so Iâd assume Iris takes on Lisaâs (m-floâs vocalistâs) parts.
âŚHmm, Gentaroâs made a reference to the track âMe Against the Worldâ, has he?...Maybe.
Iâm not quite sure, but I think Ramuda said âmajoâ (witch) when he was referring to Beauty and the Beast in the English subs.
âŚgosh, what is up with that airhornâŚ? Still, next time is the last time. See you on ChristmasâŚno, Boxing Day.
HypMic 13 (FINAL)
This is the beginning of the end and the end of the beginningâŚyâknow, considering how stuff trended on Twitter, Iâd say this animeâs gonna get a 2nd season, but you canât really say that until it actually happens. I mean, Boueibu is much less popular than HypMic and that got a 2nd seasonâŚ
This is the 1st episode where I woke up early enough to watch without spoilers and had no obligations to place over it, soâŚthis is exciting, in its own sense, but in a sense, it could also be called âprofoundly disappointingâ because this experience is only available to me as of the final episode.
One of the tweets I saw a few weeks back came to mind â someone became interested in sakuga houkai (terrible animation, literally âanimation collapseâ) because of HypMicâŚI donât know if thatâs a good or a bad thingâŚ
âŚDude, you probably shouldnât answer a call from someone who just revealed themselves to be a traitor last episodeâŚ*sweatdrops*
(Spoiler for rest of franchise) HmmâŚDiceâs face is pretty straight. Assuming at this point we knew Dice was Otomeâs son, this is a good poker face from himâŚ!
This thing about gangs was mentioned in their profiles (although the words used implies they âwent delinquentâ), so it actually doesnât surprise me.
I wonder if this subway exists in the mainline story�
According to the next ep. preview I saw on Twitter, TDD will reform to take down the Secret Aliens. Iâm not sure if that was a guess or whether thatâs true, so Iâm waiting for the shoe to drop on it.
Samatoki-san, not -sama. HmmâŚ
There was definitely the word âteamâ in Diceâs line, so itâs âwhat the legendary team was made ofâ.
âŚoh goshâŚtheyâre still using that airhornâŚ?
Again with the play on âlonely thunderâ. Itâs a really fun pun, but one Iâd like to see in the rest of the series more.
Notably, Irisâs rap in English missed the word âcharismaâ where it could have fit (unless I missed reading it the first time).
Note Samatoki does actually use the word âshinsensaâ (freshness), so thereâs no lie there.
I still love how much they went in on Rexâs theme, even in his raps.
Huh, thatâs new. Never seen a tag team like this before.
It seems Tomâs signature is using a lot of English, which makes it easy for us English/Japanese pair translators.
Saburo didnât actually say âIchi-niiâ, did heâŚ?
âŚbased on the rock intro, this is Rhyme Anima, the OP, or something that sounds similar. What Iâd need to confirm this is the ânautilusâ line and the âends corruptionâ line, which are the OPâs two biggest tells for AMQ.
ârainmakingâ â Hmm, another link from Gentaro to Rei. This might be a different part of Rhyme Anima (OP) that wasnât used as the OP proper.
âthis white light invites and healsâ (<- paraphrased) â Sounds like Sensei, alright!
âŚnow that (rainbow bit). Thatâs sakuga!
*a silhouette appears* - Oh nooooooooooooooo! Now theyâve done it! Theyâve included Rei! Thatâs more than enough spoilers to last a lifetime for yâall anime-onlys!
I wish someone would work on this collaboration between Saburo and RiouâŚ
HmmâŚwhat is the series endgame? Putting in Dice as the new ruler??? I mean, Dice is the worst possible politician ever. Heâs far too lax about things.
*Nemu enters* - No! Nemu!
Not only is Iris a âramen shop ownerâ, itâs Tomâs favourite foodâŚNo wonder ramen has significance to her.
âŚooh! A new song! Update: I donât know what this songâs name is, although it probably will become clear what its name is on the 13th. Iâll keep my eye on Twitter in case the answer is there.
âŚI knew it was far too early to say if there was an s2 â the DVDâs live events go until September 5th and the 2nd DRB finishes in March. That almost felt like a stinger right there. Oh well, Iâm more than happy to call this anime a success, even if I would call it the worst of the arms of the franchise. All HypMicâs anime had to do was deliver fun, before anything else, and it delivered on that front. See you around!
Taiso Samurai 7
Anime burnout means Iâm coming back to the anime after the day it finishes.
This dancing scene is kind of like the one at the start of ep. 2 of IWGP, except it has the owl to represent the setting as well as the dance stage.
Leo doesnât seem to know kanji or katakana, only hiragana.
Even though this part of the anime is set in London, the characters are still speaking Japanese (lel�).
LOL, Edward Scissorhands much?
LOL, these background gossips are like the Plastics from Mean GirlsâŚhaha.
âŚLOL, thatâs not one of those dismounting moves, is it? Itâs just kind ofâŚjumping off the bar.
Lookit how Leoâs sticker is 90 deg. sideways from what it should be, haha.
I donât think itâs true that Olympic gymnasts have never failed. Like other people at the top of their game, theyâre probably failed millions of times, but only outside the view of most of the world. Persistence and passion are whatâs key to becoming the best at what you are, no matter what field youâre in.
Now Aragakiâs what I call a âdeterminatorâ (see TV Tropes on what that is).
Taiso Samurai 8
Notably, the word used for âclothesâ is specifically for Western clothing, like dresses.
Well, now we know why Leo can do those stretchesâŚ
Theyâve clearly sped up the dance here, butâŚitâs basically the same sort of movements Yuri on Ice used to suck me in. Iâm here for it!
Leo seems to be the type who tries to push away his worries by distracting people (including himself) with other thingsâŚI see. I didnât have much of a grasp of his character beforehand.
Britney! F*** you, Britney!
Ah, that must be the (a?) fabled owl of Ikebukuro. Iâve never actually been to IkebukuroâŚthe closest I got was Akihabara (to memory) and even then, that was for electronics, not animeâŚso Iâve never seen the owl statue Iâve been talking about close up.
Rei does kind of look like her mother like this.
Ah! Rei and Kitty have a pair look now! âTwinsiesâ, they call it.
Amakusaâs head is located right next to Leoâs butt, so I end up staring at itâŚLOL.
The Hoover mission.
âI <3 Ninjaâ, LOL.
LOL, âNyapoo!â
*sighs* The problem with being multi-talented is that youâre going to be told to one day put one passion above the others, even if you donât want that.
LOL, you can be a ninja with this WikiHow article. (I was looking for Kittyâs quote, but found that instead. It seems to be a quote from one of Tomoyoâs movies.) Update: I was right.
Thereâs a movie in the back where the title is âBlack Rainmakerâ. (Tomoyo, I presume) Mifune is the 1st person credited.
Considering this is 2003âŚyou wonât be on Mars in 2013, Kitty.
Wow, a tape! That brings me back to 2003, indeed.
Charlieâs AngelsâŚso thatâs what the tape was.
LOL, a shoebill.
âblade in your heartâ â That would refer to the character for âninjaâ, which has a blade over a heart. Yâknow Kiss Shot Acerola Heart-Under-Blade (from Monogatari), yeah? Like that.
âŚyou might think emails were out of place in 2003, but a virus from an email caused me to be an avid reader and that virus was unleashed around the late 90s â early 2000s.
LOL, Kittyâs cat belt buckle.
You said it, Rei. You said it.
Taiso Samurai 9
Lausanne, Switzerland.
I noticed one of the boxes at the start of the OP says âHorizontal Barsâ, rather than some random name to make the boxes look like they were discarded.
Someone encoded the video funnyâŚ
LOL, BBâs getting possessive of his territory.
Fuku-chan the fukurou (owl) in IkebukuroâŚLOL.
LOL, randomly thereâs a skeleton with a hat in the background of Britneyâs clinic.
Notably, one of the wall hangings says âheartâ on it â alternatively, âsoulâ.
Notably, Atlanta was the 1996 Summer OlympicsâŚthere is no 1997 Lausanne Olympics, as far as I know.
Akudama 9
I watched the part where it glitches twice and I canât quite figure out what that circular symbol isâŚmaybe itâs Hackerâs symbolâŚ?
Ah! Only now they properly confirm Swindler used to work in the Seal centre.
âLife that never dies is defective.â â Doctor
Does that mean Doctor is actually older than she looks, due to plastic surgery�
Marker? What marker?
Apparently that flower is a cherry blossomâŚaccording to Detective Conan.
âŚI know this anime wasnât made in America (it wouldnât be âanimeâ otherwise), but Anime Feminist is going to have a field day with this oneâŚif they havenât abandoned it already due to their idea of morals.
âŚnow I can even see parallels between HypMicâs authorities and Akudamaâs. Not sure if thatâs a good thing or not.
âWhy did this have to happen when Iâm chief?â â Sounds likeâŚbasically every authority during COVID and BLM, to be honest.
See? Akudama likes the S word. I told you.
I havenât watched The Shining, but reading the synopsis, you can figure out why Cutthroat is the way he isâŚsort of.
How does the iconic quote go? âHeeeeeeeeeeeereâs Danny!â (or somethingâŚ?)
They even copied the iconic eye shot! There you go!
Way to take a guy out (with the door, LOL).
âŚwith all this killing, I can see why Akudama Drive was only in one magazine now. (Then again, HypMic was in basically all of them and that also has a tonne of problemsâŚ)
Akudama 10
ä¸ćť literally means â10000 deathsâ.
Babel.
That police chief is such a mood, LOL.
I can see why people didnât recognise Swindler, but Courier never changes his look, soâŚuhâŚ
You canât become a police chief without a sense of justice, no?
âSince when did you know that Iâm not-â - *facepalms*
Is this what they call an âass-kickinâ Christmasâ? (LOL)
Yâknow, Sister, you could just do the whole âwherever you are, Iâm also seeing the same sky as youâ thing some other anime do.
Notably, there are shide (the paper strips) and a rope over the vaultâŚthey really do treat the shinkansen and its immortal children as a single god, huh?
Hmm? They donât care about Sister anymore? Just Brother? (Somewhere along the way, the priorities must have shifted.)
In the end, the best ship is Brawler and Hoodlum (lel).
Akudama 11
One more ep after this. Iâm gonna miss this anime, even if it was crazy over-the-top and I didnât finish it until after the day it ended.
I think the scariest scene in all of Akudama Drive is the one where the âcleanerâ tosses the girl aside.
âThis nowhere place!â â Around this time, the bunny and sharkâs shirts say âmorningâ/âafternoonâ (shark) and âeveningâ (bunny).
The blue bird of happinessâŚliterally. That character on the birds is the one for âhappyâ.
âŚLOL, that one glitched Courier looks more like Cutthroat.
Hackerâs drone matches Courierâs head angles, LOL.
I guess if you think youâre falling in Kanto, youâre falling in Kanto and if you think youâre floating (like Courier did), you float. I always liked that concept.
War Games. Now the title makes sense!
âŚbut they can be together if they stay here in Kanto as vessels for the citizens? (That sounds mighty antagonistic of me, butâŚthat logic does compute.)
Maybe swindlers play games with the truth� (What an interesting concept.)
âJust fine.â â I think Hacker needs a âThis is fineâ meme.
âWe can hear your heart talking.â â It means something like âWe can hear you spouting your true intentions.â
ââŚworth every last pennyâŚâ â Thatâs a weird thing to say for someone whose life got changed by 500 yenâŚJust goes to tell you how American the subbers can be sometimes.
Swindlerâs smug face is so good, LOL.
Akudama 12 (FINAL)
This episode isnât named after a movie. Itâs named after the anime itself.
The TV says âPlease watch away from the TVâ, i.e. stand back from the TV while you watch.
âThey came and stole the offeringsâŚâ â At this point, bunnyâs shirt says âfreedomâ and sharkâs says honpou, meaning âwild, uninhibited, rampant, extravagantâ.
âŚwhere did Shikoku come from? Is that where Swindler and Sister landed after they tried going to the moon?
Ohh! That Christian imagery! Thatâs scary!
Is Akudama Drive a tragedy? No, I thinkâŚon the contrary, itâs a story of hope.
LOL, âs*** guyâ.
I thought the girl had a bomb. Turns out she has a gun, which isâŚfar worse, come to think of it.
Instead of red characters which say things about the situation, now Shark and Bunny have Hackerâs symbol on them.
Thereâs no way anyone who wasnât immortal would survive the attack Courier tookâŚ
âŚwhy is it that falling over represents vulnerability in children in all of these stores where a war has happened and/or thereâs a chase? Hmm?
Wow, Sister did everything with heels on�!
Anyways, that was a fun time. See you next time!

Akudama 2 - 3 | HypMic 4 | Yashahime 3 | Taiso 2 - 3 | Moriarty 2 | Maou-jou 3
Akudama 2
I think one or two of the reviews I read of this anime picked up the names of each episode are based on movies and it seems theyâre right. Namely, episode 1 is Se7en while episode 2 is Reservoir Dogs...so theyâre crime movies specifically.
Kanto, Hikari etc. are the names of certain shinkansen.
Playing with your own blood in front of a no violence sign and smoking in front of a no smoking signâŚLOL. So edgy and yet simultaneously so fun.
âŚ*blinks* Welp, that OP wasâŚan experience.
âŚhey, Funi are hypocritesâŚthey gave HypMic a language warning, but not this???
Come to think of it, this anime is already exactly how Iâd imagine the HypMic MTC episode to goâŚbut with more cyberpunk, of course.
âŚwhy is âare you gay?â an insultâŚ? I thought we were past this point years ago.
âŚwhatâs up with these puppets? The sharkâs shirt says âfoolâ on itâŚ
The rabbit and sharkâs shirts keep changing every time they spin. When they talk about poverty/rich, the rabbit shirts says âpoorâ and the sharkâs ârichâ (or something of the sort). When the shark talks about Kansai burning to the ground, his shirt says ânervousnessâ.
Wow, Hiroshima vers. 2âŚRabbit: peace/shark:war
Hoodlumâs just a sycophantâŚ
âŚooh, so if the girl and Hoodlum arenât part of the planâŚthey could f*** s*** up?
LOL, plasma shield.
âLilâ stickâ? Thatâs a jitte! A non-bladed weapon which is still plenty nasty by itself!
Ken the 390??? I knew UraShimaSakataSen were on this ED and I knew this was a rap ED because I heard it in AMQ before I was able to finish this ep, IIRC, but I didnât expect the guy from BATTLE BATTLE BATTLE....
Taiso 2
A-hah! I was right on the money! Tomoyo is an actress!
Oh, itâs senu. Thatâs an old-timey way of negating your verbs (itâs shinai now), hence âretires notâ.
I think theyâre hailing Minamino as the first winner in 45 years if I understood the newspaper article on the screen rightâŚ?
Does this mean Minamino will join Leo and Aragaki� The OP shows him with them.
The AnimeLab translation of the title is âDuelling Samuraiâ, but the translation on the hardsubs is âRock-Bottom Samuraiâ. The word donzoko indicates the latter is correct.
I think Leo said âRei-chanâ, not âRachelâ. Itâs a bit hard to hear because heâs eating thoughâŚ
I think thereâs only one line where he doesnât talk like a ninja in his intro to Ayu and thatâs the line where he uses keigo instead.
I think the card says âacupuncturist Kawa????â (canât read the last character due to Britneyâs thumb), butâŚwelp, Britneyâs kinda disturbing in their (not sure what pronoun to use) own way. There also appears to be an address in Ikebukuro on the card.
I wouldnât be surprised if Leo learnt how to speak Japanese fluently from ninja movies â thatâs a pretty common anime trope, like in Tada-kunâs Rainbow Samurai case. âAlways make your heart rainbow!â and all that jazz.
âŚso thatâs what the card said - Kawamoto Orthopedic Clinic.
âMy shoulder wouldâŚâ
Seriously, this anime is just an excuse to look at Aragaki in different outfits (and also shirtless) and I love it, LOL. (Iâm such a simpleton.)
AhâŚsometimes, people ask me about the days when I used to learn piano and I bring up the fact there is such a thing as âoverpracticeâ. I thought gymnasts would know when they hit their limits in that regard, butâŚI guess they donât because theyâre so consumed in their passion, or they canât see what theyâre doing to themselves (because it occurs under the skin and doesnât ache)âŚ?
Minamino is basically YurioâŚLOL.
Thatâs a cute, laidback ED. Itâs called Yume? (yes, with the â?â) and itâs by Hatena, hence Leoâs shirt saying âHatenaâ.
Welp, I donât think anything supernatural will happen anymore, butâŚitâs still a fun anime. They toned down BB too, which should please a huge number of reviewers who found him obnoxious.
Yashahime 3
Hitokon? Short for âhito controlâ (hito = person)? Update: It seems the name was also kanji for âflying head rootâ.
ââŚputs one to sleep.â
ââŚfrom a place like that?â
Can a Dream Butterfly steal memories?
Moriarty 2
âColumâ (sic).
These CGI horses are gonna bug me, arenât theyâŚ?
There is this sentiment that people need to be âsavedâ from poverty, especially when it comes down to African and Asian people living in slums (these days). I get the same feeling from this.
Maou-jou 3
Free advertising for Maou-jouâs home magazine! LOL!
I was wondering why those things were called âShow the MaryââŚremember Mezo Shouji from Boku no Hero Academia? Same pun (the walls have ears and the doors have eyes, or something of the sort).
LOL, instead of yokudekimashita (literally, âyou did goodâ) itâs makura ni narimashita (âyou made [the book] into a pillowâ). The common sentence ending for verbs means itâs funnier in Japanese, I think.
âŚargh! I canât read all of Alazifâs info because of the hardsubs! UmmâŚâCurrent worry: Princessâ and âWorry of the past hundred years: Destroying the demon clanâ is in the box next to the logo. âPowerful magic techniques are recorded inside this book, so the demons feared it and sealed it away as a âforbidden grimoire��.â/âCurrently, under the control of the princess, theyâve been bestowing magic and magic techniques to her, so they havenât been used for the purpose they were made for and theyâre wishing the princess would use them for not-so-stupid thingsâ (I donât know what pronoun to give Alazif, so I gave them 3rd person âthem)âŚah, someone translated the stuff for me! (That saves me a lot of time.) So Alazif is a âheâ, huh?
OHKO to Demon Cleric, LOL.
SANâŚ? Oh, âsanityâ?
Oh, Demon Clericâs ears are black goat ears. No wonder you canât see âem.
This sword is like Ex from Princess, âTis Time for Torture!
HypMic 4
From here until episode 6-ish, Iâll be paying extra attention to charactersâ role language. I normally do that, but I picked this anime for an assignment because I knew it had a lot of examplesâŚyes, you heard me right. An assignment! I should be happy, but Iâm wondering if my taste is going to get roasted by the normies or if Iâve gone too far with my unabashed loveâŚ
I was discussing with some of my peeps in a Discord server andâŚis it possible MTR will get an ED from here on out if you divide the episodes up for an almost equal amount for each division? Weâll have to wait and see.
âŚOof. Iâm sort of scared for this episode. Itâs gonna have swearing galoreâŚand yup, there it is, right out the gate.
Wait, why not translate wakagashira? It just means âyoung headâ or â2nd in commandâ.
âŚwell, at least they got some variation in their swearing this timeâŚ?
Hmm, normally the translation is ârabbit copâ or something toned down like that. They dialled it up to ârabbity-ass copâ. (Yakuwarigo: Samatoki = na, on the whole = very, very slang â as a former naval officer, you would expect Riou to speak formally, but he speaks as casually as almost everyone else (yamero etc.))
Iâve never seen anyone refer to Samatoki as âKashiraâ. *laser stares Rentei for guest VA roles*
(Yakuwarigo: Samatoki (?) = zo)
ââŚwhy donât you ask the cops to deal with it?â â Uh, Samatoki? Jyuto is the cop. (Well, a cop.)
I still have no idea why they subtitle the laughingâŚ
Wait, if thereâs a casinoâŚis Dice there?!
âŚyup, right on cue. I didnât think Tom and co. would be there too.
Oh, LOL. HypMic is a tourist trap anime = see those buns Tomâs eating? Theyâre chuukaman (Chinese buns). Makes sense in Chinatown.
It took me several watches to realise whoâd passed by, but itâsâŚMTC in formal clothes?! (You can see part of Jyutoâs face, just to confirm it.)
Why are they wearing glasses? Even Jyutoâs wearing different glasses to the usual, LOL.
I learnt how to do some of the casino stuff while trying to get a job as a gaming customer service assistant in a huge casino joint one time. In a sense, this brings me back to then. (Update: I mean, the sound of the roulette, the sight of the board, the chips and the like. Thatâs what takes me back.)
(Yakuwarigo: Dice slurs his words a lot, especially when yelling things along the lines of âPlease lend me moneyyyyyyyyyyyyy!â This is also true in the game.)
Dice seems to have jumped straight to âRiouâ, rather than âRiou-sanâ. Â
I wonder if anyone will ever elaborate on that incident where Dice and Riou met?
(Yakuwarigo: Samatoki speaks coarsely, but not outright swearing in the source languageâŚfor an example, he says kussotare when roped into being Jakuraiâs âfemale counterpartâ for the ARB Halloween event, but he doesnât do anything of the sort here.)
Even Ramuda uses âsanâ with Samatoki, most likely to emulate how Samatoki calls himself âoresama�� (but with lower formality).
Ramuda-chin? Thatâs new.
Yakuwarigo: Gentaro spoke normally, just with desu/masu. Maybe the âperchanceâ was to make it blend in with his -de aru?
Uh-ohâŚRamudaâs favours always are things like âdress up for meâ and âhang out with meâ, if the game is any indication. (One of them happens to be how Ichiro was roped into being a sorta-Kirito for the ARB Halloween event.)
This CGIâŚitâs not the jankiest, but it is gonna bug me ever so slightly.
Iâve noticed a lot of people in the English-speaking fandom, when they watched the anime, took a shine to MTC (because they seem to embody the entire ârefuge in audacityâ thing theyâve picked up onâŚplus that one hamster lyric people got attached to). You can see them being all âcop/gangster husbandsâ here if thatâs your gig â itâs kind of my gig, but to be real HypMic is not a scene where I ship dudes. Iâm sorry, but I just like watching pretty boys kick butt.
What warranted the dramatic glasses drop� (LOL anyway)
That whistleâŚLOL. Itâs like âLook at my boy fightâ and âRiouâs got some sweet fightinâ movesâ rolled up in one.
For some reason, when I saw the sign for the Organised Crime department, I heard the Student Council theme from Boueibu play in my head� (Remember that harpsichord theme?) *shrugs* I dunno why that happened.
HmmâŚthey crossed out the subtitles using Swedish letters instead of strikethrough, huh? Didnât know that was a limitation.
(Yakuwarigo: Jyuto = dazo)
âWouldya look at that forlorn mug of his?â â Seeing a man taller than you (Riou is a good 190 or so cm, mind you, making him the tallest member of his division above Samatokiâs 180-something and Jyutoâs 170-something) making a sort of demented puppy-dog faceâŚLOL.
(Yakuwarigo: Jyuto elevated himself to kimasuyoâŚmaybe to win back Riouâs favour?)
(Yakuwarigo: The translation elevated Samatokiâs ânandaâ to âthe f***â. âNandaâ is not that bad â itâs casual, but doesnât imply swearing like âittaiâ is supposed to mean âthe hellâ.)
(Yakuwarigo: Jyuto doesnât finish when he says âore wa hanashi gaâ. Thatâs called an omission, plain as that may be.)
(Yakuwarigo: Taihendaze!...Maybe thatâs a bit far to call it âweâre f**kedââŚ? It could just be âweâre doomed!â or âweâve got trouble!â)
(Yakuwarigo: Jyuto uses desune. Heâs the most feminine of the trio by virtue of being the smallest height-wise and most polite due to his job, but he seems to bounce between casual and polite a lot.)
âŚwow, even the rap lyrics have the F bombâŚand this time, you can see the evidence.
Natsu no mushi = bugs in the summer. Not a perfect match, but it works. (Notably, things like Gentaroâs speech and rap lyrics donât play by the same yakuwarigo rules because you can play characters within it â e.g. the evil doctor Jakurai sometimes plays. Iâve noticed most of the songs use casual or whatever rhymes, even for someone like Doppo whoâs considered more polite than most.)
âŚDespite the swearingâŚthat song slaps, man! Thatâs great.
MTC seems to have more tragedy on average than other divisions. This is because FP and BB are quite light-hearted and mostly family-friendly with hidden depths, but MTR mostly has stalker stories. Update: Thatâs when theyâre focussing on MTR solo. FPâs currently could get pretty dark soon and a lot of the dark/tragic stuff is not actually going to make the anime because itâs in the drama tracks/manga.
My gosh, we got to see Nemu animated!
Okay, Iâm not well-versed in yakuza slang but kumicho = boss, so Samatoki would have to answer to a kumicho.
(Yakuwarigo: Notably, when Riou bows, he doesnât elevate his speech.)
(Yakuwarigo: Jyuto = desukane)
âŚand randomly, rock solo postcard memory away from the sunset. (LOL) (Also, I believe I befriended Zainou during my time on WordPress. This episode title really does mean things, in a certain sense.)
Ah, it did switch! Itâs justâŚuh, gone to an MTC version of itself (and it has the same name, âKizunaâ). So that means we wait another 6 episodes for MTR. On the other handâŚwhat will the final version be? A whole cast version? A different song? No song at all? *shrugs* Only the future can tell us these things. (Also, why is Jyuto so loudâŚ? Thatâs why Iâm not a bigger fan of him. Much like Ramudaâs minna genki?, his iconic quotes like âIn the building!â are so loud and silly-sounding, you just canât get them out of your head.)
The cityscape in the middle of the disc at the EDâs start seems to have changed. I would assume thatâs a Yokohama skyline.
Keiichi Nakagawa is the voice of RenteiâŚI should stop burning myself on guest VA appearances, this guyâs a rookie. This Nouzenkazura VA (Kenji Hamada) though is voiced by the guy who does Otegine in Touken Ranbu and isnât as much of a rookie as Renteiâs.
Notably, where BB do the âBB signâ (as it seems to be known), MTC do a finger gun. MTR have the wolf fang, butâŚwhat is FPâs, then? Update: Itâs a peace sign to the side to make an F.
Todayâs new music was âRed Zone (Donât Test da Master)â, by KLOOZ and DJ WATARAI.
*cringes at the airhorn* *briefly presses fingers to forehead, as if going to massage temples, but then removes them* The airhorn reminds me of crazy sport fans. Crazy anime fans are more civil than them, which is one reason why I donât follow sports on the regular.
Update: Oh! The pond owl cafe in episode 2! It means Ikebukuro!...Sort of. Fukurou rhymes with âbukuro and ike = pond.
Akudama 3
Hmm? Is it just me or is that T in the code the kanji for âbirdâ (tori)?
âItâs where I belong.â â I know my reason for pursuing Japanese is a purely selfish reason â so I can stay above others in the topics I think matter to me and pursue the endless natural high that comes from the thrill of translation (which may be all one reason or two, depending on how you look at it).
Oh, the bunny and shark again.
The bunnyâs shirt said âlifeâ at one point, I didnât understand the sharkâs though.
At one point, shark: Ka (from âKansaiâ), bunny: ken (authority).
At the end, shark: heaven, bunny: hell. These broadcasts look like NHK broadcasts at the end.
Most of these words are katakana, making them look foreign.
Kansai 300, 25-1.
âMove-you-s**t!â â ItâŚseems a bit out of character for Swindler to say the swear word there.
Taiso 3
That CGIâŚis not the greatest.
According to Moon Land, gymnastics operates on a deduction/addition system. You add points for difficulty, but deduct points for errors like how Minaminoâs feet are apart.
*sees montage* - Those CGI scenes really take out the budget, huh�
Gymnastics moves are named after their creatorsâŚkinda like scientific names and finders.
There was a lot of commentary in Moon Land so Iâm not sure what the moves are called from memory (the dialogue always did that for me), but having the reactions speak for themselvesâŚI think the anime team has enough faith the reactions will convey everything. They did, by the way.
You can see the bone at the base of Minaminoâs neck, under the skinâŚitâs sort of scary.
The fact you couldnât see Jotaroâs eyes for a shot or twoâŚthat kind of unnerved me and built tension.
Oh! The men in black appear after the credits!

Taiso Samurai 10 - 11 (FINAL) | Skate-Leading Stars 1 | Maou-jou 7 - 8
Started winter 2021 early.
Taiso Samurai 10
Swagganegger (LOL)âŚ? (<- tried typing âSchwarzeneggerâ from memory and ended up failing)
Note the slight hop at the end. Unless thatâs part of the skill, itâs going to get a deduction.
Yuka makes sense, as that translates to âfloorâ, but anma (?) = pommel horse? The âhorseâ matches, but what does the hiragana âanâ stand forâŚ?
âŚLOL, Yusuke Kuwabara. I didnât realise it at first until I googled it up, but itâs (Kazuma) Kuwabara and Yusuke (Urameshi) combined.
LOL, we never learnt Tackeyâs first name until now. Also, âoke-karaâ is apparently what all the hip kids say.
Whereâd Liu goâŚ?
Iâll Give It My AllâŚTomorrow is the name of a manga series, coincidentally enough.
I realised he (Leo) called her âReiââŚnot Rachel.
Taiso Samurai 11 (FINAL)
The rock thing Rei does seems to be a good luck ritual.
ZoshigayaâŚa place in south Ikebukuro.
âA lot can change in one yearâŚâ â *glares at the year that was 2020* You can say that again.
Never underestimate a dive-bombing bird!
ââŚtaking you to see Dad.â
The horizontal bar is known as the âiron/metal barâ in Japanese, soâŚit makes sense Tetsuo (âiron/metal manâ, with the same kanji) would excel on it.
âconnected to the next eraâ â Note 2003 was smack bang in the middle of the Heisei era, but closer to the end.
âSwan Likeâ (sic), LOL. How old is Rei now? 15âŚ?
âŚwhat. The. Absolute. F***in. Heck. Leo?!? What did you do to the pretty, long-haired Leo?!? His hair is so short now??? Anyways, thatâs all from this anime. See you next time!
Maou-jou 7
LOL, how does that demon see with a mask like that?
âŚwell, at least Hades has nice abs. (LOL)
This anime is either enjoyed best in the morning, when you wonât sleep from it, or at night just before sleeping. Thatâs my opinion, at least.
Ker + Ber + Ros are afraid of big dogs and the captive princess. Theyâre overly spoiled.
Suima = Sleeping Demon = HypnosâŚMakes sense.
Notably, the quest info says âkyou moâ (today alsoâŚâ, so it only applies to that day the princess is doing her quest onâŚI guess?
âŚoh yeah, I just said they donât like big dogsâŚ
Lookit them heels! Hades could kill a (human) man with those heels!
I guess itâs what doesnât happen that makes a good comedyâŚ
Skate-Leading Stars 1
Funimation worked their magic and got this show for us early!
ââŚIâll quit figure skating!â This is in one of the 1st lines of the animeâŚ
With the male character designs, sometimes you can tell theyâre Yana Tobosoâs.
âŚI never thought Iâd see the day where I was mildly hyped for a surfing anime, a skating anime and a skateboarding anime in one season. Winter 2021 is sort of scary in that sense â I have to learn a lot to stay afloat if I like those 3.
Oh dearâŚthat CGI in the OP doesnât bode well.
They didnât even change the logo on that Pocari Sweat.
The exposition in YoI was pretty fun, actually, because making learning fun is a hard feat. You can almost see Maeshima being a lead.
Can this glasses guy be seen as blackmailing Maeshima�
This seriesâs sense of motion is nice â then again, itâs a figure skating anime. It has to have a good one, or else itâs a goner! (What do I mean by that? It has a good grasp on how people move. Iâd like to think I have a good grasp on that as wellâŚbut I canât really transfer that to paper because Iâm only good at static poses, plus sometimes when I imagine someone doing a motion repetitively, I imagine them doing it over and over again â like that one ad of a dancer spinning around endlessly, while it asks you what direction theyâre spinning in - which isnât particularly helpful when you only need it once.)
âŚhow did no one realise that Yamada looks nothing like MaeshimaâŚ? Also, âMichiyukiâ means something like âgo on [a] roadâ, while âYamadaâ is a generic surname.
These watercolour parts and that part where the colour was added was nice!!!
Well, it might not be the most solid thing ever, but itâs a pretty strong start to the winter 2021 season!
Maou-jou 8
âŚcouldnât they have done this wormhole business earlier? Also, I realised even the most manly of men use wa as a sentence ender, so my dissing Scissors Demon was unwarranted. (Sorry!)
I think âD-Whatsitâ might be âA-whatsitâ in Japanese (= Akatsuki). Update: I was right on the money, the eyecatch calls him âA-nantoka-kunâ (A-whatsit).
Theyâre trying to make this funny, but since theyâre also trying to seriously convey Dawnerâs backstoryâŚitâs not funny.
Dawner (<- Iâm calling him this because itâs shorter) has very good prospects for his futureâŚwhatever that meansâŚhis worry from not too long ago was, âThe princess doesnât remember my name!â His recent worry was, âI want to meet my friends from the forest again,â meaning he met some people/things in the forest which he befriended (possibly aside from the princess). I canât read everything due to hardsubs, but his future dream is to be a heroâŚwhich he is now.
The âsuâ in Suya (in the princessâs elaborate poem) is a phonetic sound, but the âyaâ means night, which I think is appropriate. The joke is that this calligraphy text is an old-timey poem, so itâs like Suya is going off to war or having a double suicide rather than facing a cavity.
Cursed DentistâŚwill he curse her? Or her teeth? I can see why Syalis doesnât like him now.
It seems the dentist is part chicken. Look at those fluffy tail feathers.
SakkyunâŚshort for succubus, hence âCubeyâ. However, sheâs just a colour swap of SyalisâŚ
So in the endâŚthe only innocent one is Poseidon? (LOL)

Higurashi New 2 | Wandering Witch 2 | Moriarty 1 | Taiso Samurai 1 | Kamisama 1 | Munou na Nana 2 | Golden Kamuy 3 1 (25) | Yashahime 2
Iâm trying a seasonal challenge this time...so that means I have to leave some Crunchyroll anime to the side. Thatâs why Iâm putting in the tags now.
Higurashi New 2
Apparently, now this Higurashi is called âGouââŚI dunno what that means in the context of this series, but *Saitama face* OK.
Is this girlâŚRika? Or this Hanyuu girl I heard of on ANN? Update: Wait a bit from that point. Youâll get your answer.
Do they ever examine why the girls in Higurashi are what they are? Rika seems to have something supernatural going on, but RenaâŚis just a psycho girl right now, so itâs hard to care.
LOL, I was wondering where this ânipahâ Rika meme came from, but it is present in the dialogue.
I predicted that Gilligan cu-er, transition far too easilyâŚ
Why is that kidâs face so tanned (?) in comparison to the rest of him???
How did these girls get up the building so fast??? (LOL?)
Wow, the cicada noise was pretty loud there, soâŚprops to the sound guys for making that sound stifling.
Can we really trust what Mion is saying about Tomitake�
I thought we were going to see Watanagashi in ep 3, butâŚokay.
Satoko speaks rather formally. She says kochira de gozaimasuyo! instead of kocchi! or kochiradesuyo!.
Whoâs that blonde lady? Someone from Umineko?
The bright colours really help to sell the ominous nature of this ED and anime. I donât think I understand everything thatâs happening in said ED, thoughâŚ
Gonna pause it here because I heard you need to watch the OG and Rei to understand this, now that the new Higurashi is operating under its âproperâ name.
Wandering Witch 2
âŚElainaâs a bit full of herself stillâŚ
âŚwhat the heck was that instrument playing over the titlecard? BagpipesâŚ?
LOL, itâs the Attack on Titan world!
Did Elaina lose her hat when she fell? That must be a very stable hat indeed.
Ooh, particle effects! HoweverâŚthereâs CGI here, although itâs only kinda noticeable.
Have you never heard of money�
Wait, witches get discounts???
It seems Saya comes from Japan.
LOL, this is basically Quidditch without a snitch!
I like mushrooms, so I donât get why people kick up such a fuss about them.
Saya seems to act like this is yuri baitâŚ*sigh*
Sayaâs crying like her sister diedâŚcâmon, itâs not that bad!
Iâm hitting pause. If this is actually how the series is, then itâs primed for a drop, but I canât help but keep it on for the spectacular visuals and the fact itâs basically anime Harry Potter.
Taiso Samurai 1
I keep swearing Iâll finish my old simulcastsâŚbut then new ones pop up like daisiesâŚ(I guess itâs better than having no anime to finish, right?)
I just realised how pretty Jotaroâs eyes areâŚ! The fact he just sort of splats and then doesnât get up shows how weary he is, unlike Sakura from Moon Land, who wouldâve probably gotten up and never tried doing gymnastics again if he were in the same position.
Just by glancing over the results when I google for this Montreal gold, it seems it was done by a Kouhei Uchimura, but I might be wrong on that frontâŚoh wait, there are 3 golds, so itâs not necessarily just that oneâŚ
You can tell this is 2002 because of that flip phone.
Intai ZamuraiâŚitâs constructed the same way as the animeâs title. Two characters and then âsamuraiâ.
BB (Big Bird) on the side there is so goofy, heâsâŚkind of distracting. <- Note the official website refers to Big Bird as BB, hence my use of it.
I was wondering if Rei was the daughter or the wifeâŚso itâs the former.
Kinugawa RopewayâŚit rings a bell, somehow. Maybe the Boueibu crew went there as DVD/BD extras.
âŚdoes everyone know that a ryokan is like a mini hotel with a traditional set-up?
*snorts* LOL, Keanu (Reeves, obviously).
That montage was a bit worryingâŚmaybe the CGI took out part of the budget? I was a bit worried when I could tell there was CGI in that one starting segment.
âŚLOL, wut. Agent Smith (from the Matrix)?
Yamakasi seems to be a parkour thing which has its own movie.
âŚIâm sort of wondering: was that ninja a woman? If Jotaro gets another wifeâŚI dunno if Iâll like the anime as much. Things could become far too dramatic if he did. Update: You do find out later in this episode.
I think â from lip reading â the ninja used -de gozaimasu. I remember getting it drilled into me that people donât use that these days, but in the time of ninja and samurai, they did.
âŚanother anime set in Ikebukuro. I knew from the station, butâŚâbukuro must be a nice place if people are reppinâ it all of a sudden.
Was Tomoyo an actress�
âKinugawa, as in the river where ogres get mad?â â See, thatâs the pun I made about Boueibuâs Atsushi years agoâŚ
This Takizawa guyâs so expressive, LOL.
Gotta love a man in a suit, yesâŚ
âŚthey keep building up to this retirement, only for him to not retire??? Which is it?! (LOL) That declaration works better in Japanese because the -shimasen goes at the end of the sentence so the weird sentence structure in the English translation actually makes Jotaro look like he really messed up due to nervousness speaking in front of crowds. Update: He just sounds like he stopped in the middle of a sentence in Japanese, which he obviously did.
Thereâs no time travel for sure, but there are ninjas! Plus dudes in jumpsuits!...plus, of course, gymnastics! It could still work, but I keep swearing thereâs something supernatural coming around the corner for thisâŚAlso, this âgymnast trying to retireâ thing seems to be drawing me in because of my whole current lack of direction in basically everything, much like Rikuo of Sing Yesterday for Me.
Kamisama 1
HmmâŚKamisama ni Natta HiâŚit doesnât say the subject stating this became a god, so the pronoun could be âsheâ or âyouâ rather than âIâ, which seems to be the current standard for it. Update: It says on the title card âIâ, so it should have an I thenâŚI guess(?)
Thereâs a fish on the logo.
âŚthis girl, I already know her name is Hina. Thatâs the 2nd Odin this season (the first is in SigdrifaâŚor however itâs spelt)âŚsheâs gonna be annoying, isnât sheâŚ?
Whatâs this about a dateâŚ?
There are two Izanamis this season, too. The second is Hifumi from HypMic.
Looks like there was an accident, according to one of the signs.
âŚThis feels exactly like a visual novel. Iâm surprised itâs an original.
I was wondering why âKey Ramenâ (Kagi Ramen) sounded weirdâŚthen it hit me. Key! You motherf**kers!!! *shakes fist* You were hiding right under my nose all along!
Hey, Potato-kun! (I know his name is Youta, butâŚeh, aside from having a possible girlfriend candidate and being a Nice Guy, heâs still a Potato-kun.) Stop staring in disbelief and do something!
âŚWhy Potato-kun, anyway? Is it because his name means âbecome godâ???
âŚThis Izanami is so emotionlessâŚitâs hard to imagine her cheering, Youta was right on that front.
âŚthat style in Hinaâs backgroundâŚIâm pretty sure Iâve seen it for Sailor Moon Crystal, but Iâve forgotten what the artistâs name is (the one that inspired that artstyle)âŚ
I almost expected Hina to interrupt the confession, like Leo from Taiso Samurai.
I kinda just shrugged near the end of the episode and finished it just to see if the confession would be interrupted, soâŚbig fat drop there. I must not like much Key beyond Angel Beats (and even then, itâs only okay because itâs the relic of a time gone by).
Moriarty 1
Iâve been picking up Sherlock-related things left and right ever since I was a fan of Detective ConanâŚnot Sherlock, Elementary or that Robert Downey Jr. movie, but the stuff Conan Doyle had his hands in. (Iâd also like to keep an eye out for that Miyazaki movie, but I donât know if I can/should go out of my way for it.) Therefore, I was a pretty easy mark for a bishonen Moriarty.
Whoâs this âElâ guy anyway?
âŚThat OP is basically Black Butler all over again. I admit I went, âOh, stuff thisâ for a second when I saw Rasmus Faberâs name on credits â when I went to entire series for him, they always ended badly for me â but I couldnât stop watching the episode (since I skipped forward to the actual episode due to background noise), so this might be the anime to change everything.
Iâll be real with you â aside from Japan, America and China (the former two of which Iâve gone to and the latter Iâve technically gone to Hong Kong, which I have stronger ties to anyway), I honestly donât have anywhere on my bucket list. That said, anime (obviously, the London arc from DC was a big factor) and this one movie called What a Girl Wants have been pretty instrumental in making Great BritainâŚalmost make the list of places I want to go to. Key word: almost.
âŚI want a dub. With accents like Princess Principal.
Also, I forgot Soma Saito was our MoriartyâŚLOL.
ââŚfor Man of Standingâ (sic).
Turn the other cheek, Mr. Tailor.
The eyes really tell you everything about a person in this anime.
Ooh, this has absolutely no holes in its logic. Itâs a strong contender!
Yashahime 2
Holy s***, is that Kagomeâs brother?(!) He kinda reminds me of Takagi from Detective Conan for some reasonâŚ
Come to think of itâŚwriters like Takahashi donât normally have androgynous leads like Towa, do they?
That wasâŚnot the best fight scene, man.
Ooh, naginata. Iâve read a bit about them, but Iâve never really seen one used in an anime beforeâŚnot to my memory. Not even the naginata in Touken Ranbu (plural) can help with that.
âŚthis Rainbow Pearl business reminds me of Sailor MoonâsâŚuh, whatever theyâre calledâŚRainbow Crystals, thatâs right.
Thereâs something oddly comfy about predicting the âit wonât be my crying face, itâs yours youâll get!â line, as bad as that sign may be for predictability on the whole.
Iâve felt in the years leading up to now, the progressive nations are slowly causing the entire gender binary to unravel. The more I think about my own relationship with my concept of gender â I accept gender-neutral third-person pronouns because initially I wanted to be anonymous on the internet, but now Iâm just generally fine with it, for instance â the more I can agree and yet also disagree because of the progress the LGBTIQ+ community has made in recent years.
Munou na Nana 2
Ah-hah! People were calling it that the enemies of humanity were actually the superpowered kids and this proves it.
Ah, I think this Shibusawa is Masuda. I was here for him, so here he is.
Nana just says konnichiwa, which is the most basic of Japanese greetings. I donât think it was phrased as a question, soâŚwhy did the subbers go with that?
Nana keeps breaking her chopsticks by leaving a bit at the end.
Lemme guessâŚShibusawaâs talent is actually reversing time, not stopping it.
IsâŚthat Shibusawa Nanaâs giving flowers toâŚ?
Golden Kamuy 3 1 (25)
If this is episode 25, was this always planned as a split-cour with season 2? I wonderâŚ
Lingonberries! Oh, lingonberries! Theyâre those berries Ikea puts into their jam, right? (Iâve never tasted a lingonberry, butâŚyeah. Thatâs how I know of them.)
The sign says âHurep Honpoâ (backwards, as some older Japanese/Chinese things do), so it really just says âhurepâ (since âhonpoâ = main shop). Update: Hurep actually means âlingonberryâ and not the berry wine like I thought it did here, so it says âhurep wineâ after all.
Thank goodness for 2D bears! (LOL)
Ratel?...uh, honey badger! Thatâs what theyâre called in English!
âŚuh, and then it turns out to be a wolverine. I donât know my Mustelidae, it seems.
Thereâs nothing like someone throwing a wolverine to know this is Golden KamuyâŚ(as weird as that sounds.)
âŚwhat was that random line about boobs aboutâŚ? (Maybe it was just said to be randomâŚ?)
âŚohhhhhhhh. These yellow eyes work much better than the standard red eyes you see in Munou na Nana or Moriarty. Theyâre so sinister.
Why did it suddenly change to an interview styleâŚ? Werenât we waiting for a fight? Update: Seems the answer is âpaddingâ. Not that I mind, I think it was interesting actually. Do more of that if you can.

HypMic 7 - 9 | Maou-jou 5 - 6 | Akudama Drive 6 - 8 | I7 s2 6 - 9 | Taiso Samurai 5 - 6
HypMic 7
I will never not laugh at the content advisory, haha.
I like Kazuha already. Too bad heâs probably evilâŚ
Oh, is it the day of the DRB in the series alreadyâŚ? Or maybe, because itâs the qualifiers, BB and MTCâs match is on a different day to FP and MTRâs.
Oh? Does Tom know Jakurai well enough to call him âJakurai-senseiâ? (<- middle ground between âJinguji-sensei/Senseiâ and âJakuraiâ) Also, Tom uses âoreâ.
Ooh, Iris is a motorbike rider, eh? Interesting. I thought they (<- not sure if Iris is a âsheâ or âheâ with a really weird name) were more of a Saburo-type and didnât bother with things like that, based on their appearance. Update: Someone on Yahoo Answers said based on Irisâs watashi, she is a woman.
Typo fixed! Good job, anime staff! Update: Iâm referring to ââŚdarkest hour is just before the downâ (sic).
âŚbukkorosu = âf***inâ slaughter âemâ. Itâs not wrongâŚitâs just the subbers really like to abuse the F word for MTC. But you knew that already if you got this farâŚright?
LOL, Ramuda wants to âscratch [Rexâs] backâ (figuratively) toâŚget SNS views? Hahaha.
This Studio Alita is probably a reference to Shinjuku Alta.
Yotsutsuji!!! That was the one big spoiler I got before watching the episode today and Iâm so happy I got to see him animated!
(One of) Irihatoma and Degarashi refer to Jakurai as âJakurai-senseiâ as well. Hmm, I never noticed. Update: Thatâs Degarashi, because Irihatoma speaks to Jakurai alone later this ep.
Thereâs 50% chance Iâm getting this wrong, but Iâm going to go out on a limb and say Kazuha is voiced by a veteran VAâŚone I already know about.
Doppo calls Kazuha by his first nameâŚThat upgrade means their relationship escalated quickly (or this is a quirk of HypMic in general, since I noticed most characters are on first name basis with each other). Also, itâs cute Doppo finally has someone in his corner. No other part of the franchise has one, to my memory. Update: It might actually be âKazuha-kunââŚbut Iâm still surprised though. Update 2: Itâs both, actually.
Iâve listened to the phrase âsome random guyâ several times from Hifumiâs mouth and all I can figure out is the âyatsuâ at the end. (Doesnât help my ears blocked themselves up again, although itâs less than it used to be.)
Harumi Wharf.
R? On a helicopter landing pad?
âŚuh oh. I was right when I thought Kazuha was going to be evil. Also, Doppler shift/effect. Update: âDopplerâ is clearly a pun on âDoppoâ.
Hmm? âHey, Doppoâ from âyaaââŚit doesnât have a name referred in there. Itâs a small but odd thing to do. (I remember a professional translator was complaining that people with intermediate Japanese were giving them flak for translating things âwrongâ, but what I do here is analysis for my future and edificiation. Iâm not here to knock down pro translatorsâ doors and demand a refund, because Iâm trying to go pro to atone for my sins as a scanlator.)
The soundtrackâs slightly sinister tone, plus the fact I figured the culprit well before Doppo did, makes me slightly scaredâŚfor MTR.
I realised they skimped on the budgetâŚthis âhot off the car chaseâ line seems more like an MTC line, doesnât itâŚ?...Yeah, itâs almost word for word for MTC in DRB+. Maybe the subbers rushed and used this translation (this link I put here) rather than their actual lyricsâŚ? I will have to get to the bottom of this. Update: Turns out the translation is slightly different, butâŚyes, there is reference to a car chase in the start of Shinjuku Style. (Sorry, I donât know every lyrics of every song off the top of my head.)
âŚwow, this got really Doppo-centric. Iâve never seen the leader relinquish their position when it comes to âleading into battleâ before. It just goes to show the staff really do pay attention to how popular Doppo is.
Note âDoppoâ means âwalk aloneâ, roughly speaking, hence the âsolitaryâ line.
This song is very, very faithful to its original lyrics, because I was trying to look at Hifumiâs âmixing paintâ line and it pretty much matches.
Hifumiâs âmy menâ, LOL.
Kazuha = âone leafâ, hence the âleavesâ in one of Jakuraiâs lines.
I cringe every time I hear screaming coming from this episode, yâknowâŚ?
âŚoh dear. MTCâs plot actually bled into MTRâs.
I already knew from browsing Twitter earlier today that Kizuna was going to become FPâs today, but hearing it is another matter entirely.
Kosuke Miyoshi is Kazuha. Apparently, this guy also voiced Mashirao Ojiro (the tail guy) from BnHA, but thatâs his only major roleâŚso I was right in that I knew him, but wrong in that he was, again, a relative rookie in comparison to most.
Apparently FPâs sign is a peace sign sideways to represent an F, butâŚitâs just a sideways peace sign to meâŚ
âŚhow is Diceâs bead ornament attached to him? Is it on his hair, on his ear, on the skin behind his earâŚ? I was trying to replicate his outfit and got stuck on how to represent it, so I ended up opting for trying (and failing) to do a small braid on the right side.
IWGP shows up this seasonâŚitâs the song with the âhoo!â noise BB perform in this episode.
LOL, âDead men tell no talesâ is a perfect saying for MTC.
Akudama 6
Is there a movie called âBrotherââŚ? Thereâs apparently one thatâs the plural of that, but not that itself.
If HypMic likes the F bomb, then Akudama like the S word.
I-Is it just me or is the choreography sped up at some points in this episodeâŚ? Itâs a bit disorienting to come back to.
I thought the kid was a robotâŚbut close enough.
Oh no! Why does the teacher always have to die for the student to become stronger???
Kairaku/shugi -> pleasure/doctrine (if I didnât somehow misunderstand the sharkâs kanji combo),
The part after the ED looks a little too longâŚkeep watching.
The Japanese says âLost Childrenâ, but the English says âThe City of Lost Childrenâ, probably referring to this French sci-fi film.
I7 s2 6
I like how Gaku is taking special offence to Yamatoâs comments about him being a playboy.
Re:vale-san. I never noticed until now.
âIâm already looking forward to it.â Thatâs how I would translate Tsumugiâs âIâm already excitedâ.
ââŚwho could possibly complain?â â I think Mitsuki might.
The pun in the MEZZO show is that tai (group/squad) sounds the same as tai (want to ~). Rabbinsta is obviously Instagram + Rabbit (Chat?).
Oh my gosh! Itâs the Yotsuba sister!
Mitsukiâs shopping trip OST is nice, man. This piano.
This episode has a really great sense of danger and foreboding for the future.
I7 s2 7
Perfection Gimmick. Never heard it in the anime before.
Even the ramen houseâs name is a play on âIdolish7â.
LOL, Yamato sure turned that comment around.
The sign talking about beer says something about coupons below it. (It went by too fast and my CR appâs kinda fiddly, so I canât really go backâŚ)
Kimi to Ai na Night (pun on Idolish7, aka âAiNanaâ, again).
Mitsuki, no one hates you! Youâre just imagining it all!
I7 s2 8
Momo hugely resembles Sasara, right down to the highlights on the hairâŚ
ââŚyouâre so handsomeâŚâ â Iâm dying on the inside here, people! *laps up the BL pandering with a derpy smile on my face*
Banri and Tsumugi havenât been focussed on latelyâŚtheyâre clearly doing something regarding Banriâs ties with Re:vale, but I canât quite figure out what that âsomethingâ is.
Why is there a basketball and a football in the back of the Takanashi office�
Please donât run in heels, TsumugiâŚ
âI love Idolish7!â - Ah, despite my quibbles, Tsumugi is good after all.
âmaking oneâs best exertionsâ â Why do those words on the cup worry me a bitâŚ?
Isnât âIâm watching youâ a creepy statementâŚ?
Apparently Tamakiâs symbol is mp (mezzo pianissimo), hence Sougoâs words.
âŚmy gosh! Ayaâs foster father is Kujou?!
I7 s2 9
If I heard it right, Tennâs line was âI can be your idolâ, not âyour princeâ.
âOlder Izumiâ - âŚah, poor Mitsuki.
âDamn you, sexy beastâŚâ â LOL!
âŚaw, I think this is the first time my heart has been lightened by Tsunashiâs laugh. Heâs a good boy.
The chibisâŚIâm still trying to get used to themâŚ
As a song once said, âYou canât please everyone so you just gotta please yourself.â (Blah blah blah, something about garden partiesâŚ)
Takao what now???...okay, Takao Dayuu.
âŚYouâre lucky that wasnât Tenn doing Takao Dayuu. It wouldâve been very âGentaro does his courtesan voiceâ if it was.
Nagi doesnât overpronounce things as much in this season. ItâsâŚpleasant, actually. Give me more of that.
Nagiâs âOh my god!â was hilarious.
Taiso 5
Ra (ă) and ro (ă) look kinda similar in hiragana.
Even without the audio, I can guess the words were âyarubeki kotoâ (things you should do) -> shachihoko.
The texts are written in gyaru-moji. Gyaru-moji is basically indecipherable to anyone who doesnât know how it works â kind of like the common teen vernacular, to be honest (LOLâŚ?) â and so the subs actually kind of ruin the confusingness of it all, but they did slightly better when they went âURâ.
Movie shiritori! ButâŚhas it really been half a year since Leo started? I feel slightly robbed about that plotline with the Men in Black right nowâŚ(then again, HypMic is just as bad about important plotlines, if not worse, soâŚIâm going to be patient and not complain.)
July 5thâŚRei is a CancerâŚ?
TheyâreâŚfinally moving on this Men in Black plotline! I only complained two points ago! Thank you, staff, for listening to my complaints (âŚ?).
Moon Land finished recently, so I wonder if Iâll lose interest in this anime from here on outâŚ? There was a Pommel Horse Prince in that.
Moon Land taught me that gymnastics has a lot of skills named after their creators, much like the Aragaki previously. The score is out of 10 for both D (difficulty) and E (execution), meaning a 20 is the best you can do, but the judges can get really picky...
The word for âvaultâ literally means âleaping/jumping horseââŚmakes sense.
Some of these names are names Iâm familiar with from Moon Land alreadyâŚbut I never remember what the skills look like.
âŚwelp, Leo just proved he really is a ninja after all.
Dr Stoneâs s2 had its ED announced to be âKoe?â by Hatena and âYume?â here really makes a themeâŚdoes Hatena give all their song titles question marks on the end?
Taiso 6
Colour gangs? Like in IWGP?
Itâs nice to see theyâre (Jotaro and Rei) communicating properly for the first time in possibly this entire anime.
On the wall, that thing is an evacuation mapâŚof some sort.
âŚIâve always wondered: if a bird eats chicken, does that count as cannibalism?
This is like thw Makkachin incident all over again (in YoI).
ââŚthereâs no reason for you to grin and bear it.â
âŚLeo and Jotaro, both are so dense! Boys *shakes head*.
BB? More like ET (LOL)!
Maou-jou 5
âŚI didnât even notice the cast was all dudes bar the princess at this point.
Tatakau Onnatachi. It could mean âfighting womenâ or âfemale warriorsâ.
Iâm still vaguely pissed that Kirito is here under my noseâŚdarn Demon King!!!
One of the harpyâs recent worries was that she wanted to become friends with the princessâŚThatâs kinda cuteâŚ
Didnât Syalis already get the coffin that one time? Or did it get confiscated?
*eyes sparkle* CloudâŚIâd like to sleep on a cloudâŚ*dreamy look on face* Cloud.
This is basically Princess, âTis Time for Torture in reverse.
Is it âmake doâ or âmake dueââŚ?
I donât think I need to explain the joke where the harpy is happy.
Gendo pose!
I wonder if the bed or the sheets will talk to her (Syalis) someday?
Maou-jou 6
The New Gearboltâs quote is âguruguru dokkanâ, which is just a bunch of sound effects. It would translate to something like âwhir-whir-thudâ.
Underwear episodes are some of the worst episodes everâŚtheyâre so juvenileâŚI dropped at least one series based on the underwear episode alone.
Ah! The seal on the ice monsterâs shoulder! Too cute!
How can a mechanical princess mecha (âŚthing?) have worries?
LOL, never underestimate the hilarity of the teddy demons ganging up on the Demon King.
I like how the Japanese pointed out the demons only moved the princess.
HypMic 8
I thought the robberies were Kazuhaâs doingâŚ? Or is this a separate case?
Samatoki answering his phone with his feet upâŚLOL, thereâs just something funny about it. It shows heâs just so badass, he can get away with it.
Riouâs hacking (?) skills come to the fore again. (Or is that listening to enemy intel?)
Ooh, Iris is sassy. I love her already.
âŚer, Samatoki? Blowing cigarette smoke into Jyutoâs face is just rudeâŚ
ââŚdonât hang up your gloves.â â Considering Jyuto has his red glovesâŚLOL.
What the heck is that backing track when the 2nd car moved out? Thatâs a cool track.
Ah! Iris is a Saburo-typeâŚLOL, Saburoâs fake identity.
âa cop whoâs in with the yakuzaâ - Wow, way to diss your own teammate, Samatoki.
For a guy who was only just in the water, Riou doesnât even look wet.
â2 DIE 4â â Hmm? So did the anime staff know what Riouâs 2nd round song title was at the timeâŚ? Update: Judging by the name âRequiemâ dropped in the next episode, I would say yes.
ââŚf*** the policeâŚâ - Wow, way to diss your own teammate, Samatoki. X2
Hmm? In Riouâs rap bit near the end, he goes âmad warriorâ and that rhymes (in a very loose way of speaking) with âMad Triggerâ. The English didnât keep that.
I remember seeing a spoiler which said that line (the one about slaves)âŚbut seriously, Jyuto is such a âsexy revenge copâ (as someone once said â I think it might be Slug, or an anon to Slug) that literally nothing else seems to matter about him.
Why do they subtitle the laughing??? I still have no idea.
âSgt. Irumaâ? The guy just says âIruma-sanâ. Is he a sergant or some other rank? Update: Yes. (As in, he is a sergant.)
Iâve never actually seen Ramuda sleep in a bed before, come to think of it. Does he not have a bed?
I would assume Gentaro is goingâŚbut he said he wonât be going, then negated that and then negated it again. Unless the 2nd time was him admitting it was a lie the first timeâŚis he going or not???
âshinsetsu no humanâ â (Spoilers for later on/manga)âŚYes, thatâs actually what Ramuda says. Itâs as if Ramuda subtly admits, right there, he isnât human.
Nodo = throatâŚIf this were translated more literally, it would sound pretty clunky.
ââŚrappa no inochiâŚpaa!â â Yep, the subbers got the gist of the joke there.
Dice is basically a worm at this pointâŚHeâs squirming like one, anyway.
That ânumber of pips facing upâ thing has got to be foreshadowing for something, yâknow? Nothing in a story ever goes to waste. Also, itâs likely the dice are weighted or somethingâŚ
âŚyep, there you go.
That voice Gentaro used for âI despise liesâ was amusingâŚbecause itâs so different to his normal voice, and because Gentaro is a serial liar.
The 2nd songâŚwhich I already know is called âJACKPOTâ from browsing Twitter earlier todayâŚwas a bunch of fun.
Udagawacho.
HmmâŚemphasis on the candy. I wonder what that means? (<- already knows, I just want to keep it a secret from you, dear reader, if you donât know it too)
ANIME SHOP is so clearly a pun on Animate, including the colours, that I canât evenâŚLOL.
FPâs Kizuna sounds distinctly different to the othersâŚprobably because of Ramuda. Itâs mostly Ramuda carrying the tune there.
âLife is what you make it.â â Hmm, an interesting quote for sure.
HypMic 9
âŚwelp, they donât call it Fling Posse for nothinâ.
I didnât believe my ears, so I went and listened to it again. Sure enough, Ichiro calls Jakurai -san, not -sensei.
Ramudaâs normal voice! Things are getting serious~!
âHifumingâ? Is that a deliberate choice on the translatorsâ part? Or is it a mishearing?
âŚIâm laughing at how Samatoki called Ichiro a âhypocritical piece of s***â. I know the âs***â part is correct at minimum from the audio.
I believe Samatoki said -san, not -sama when he asked for an honorific. Hmm, interesting.
I knew this would get animated, butâŚI still canât believe Iâm watching it! AmazingâŚabsolutely amazing.
If youâre wonderingâŚyes, that long thing is her entire title and name. Itâs said the name âKadenokoujiâ is the longest Japanese surname in existence.
I remember reading a tweet earlier today that said somebody wanted âAltercation! Altercation! Altercation!â as a song titleâŚand now I LOL, because the subbers made Gentaro say the exact same word.
HmmâŚI only just noticed BB are the only ones with bags. They probably came last, but who took the othersâ bags into ChuokuâŚ? Update: Some of the others did have bags, I just never spotted them. For instance, Riou is carrying a large black rectangular bag, but Samatoki and Jyuto donât have any. Jakurai has the bag from his TDD days.
The 2nd DRB brackets got announced today. BB vs DH, MTR vs BAT, FP vs MTC, rolling out across Japan (and Japan only due to COVID) in 2021.
âWhat happened between you and him?â - I was going âwho?â in Cantonese (as I sometimes do), but turns out theyâre just referring to Samatoki.
This is exactly as it played out in the drama tracks and mangaâŚexactly what I was waiting for all this time! So good, dangit!
LOL, in the future, we will have camera drones working our concerts like they do in the DRBsâŚI think (?)
I wonder what Dice is thinking right now, seeing Otome on the screenâŚhmmâŚ
âŚgah! Airhorn! Airhorn to the ears! *tilts to side due to sound*
I still kind of remember Slugâs take on the final battleâŚâThe popo? More like the poopoo!â (or something like that). *sniggers*
The little barking bit after Jiroâs verse wasâŚkinda cute, actually.
âŚow, these are some burn-ass words. See? This is the power of the DRB!
âŚeh? Riouâs mic has his MC name on it. Donât think Iâve seen that in any other part of the series.
Hoh, Riou even made references to Saburoâs character songs.
You can see âHcâ on Samatokiâs mic tooâŚprobably another case of his MC name, but partially obscured by his hand.
Aw, âSamatoki no sabaku tokiâ is a good lyric. Why couldnât you try to keep that, instead of translating it literally to âjudgement day for Samatokiâ?
You can hear a thumping beat in the background when Samatoki prepares himself. That seems to be a similar way to how ARB treats this stuff.
âIâm THE Samatokiâ â âSamatoki-sama daâ.
I think it was really cool to show Samatoki handing the song over to Riou, but it also indicates thereâs a disjunct in the lyrics that would cause such a thing. From this, maybe Riou is MTCâs weak linkâŚ?
Skeletons with katanas! Is that not cool?!?
âŚhey, that joined words thing Ichiro doesâŚI would assume thatâs what Rhyme Strike looks like in the HypMic universe?
Notice Samatoki took the word âsignalâ from Ichiroâs part and put it into his own one.
âToday is a good day to die.â â *eyes bulge* OhâŚgosh. What a quote. Update: Someone theorised Ichijiku wrote these titles (the last 2), but someone else â like me â theorised this quote was what FP and M fans thought for this battle.
Akudama 7
âŚthatâs one twisted kid.
Never threaten to kill a kid who can regenerate far better than you, Hoodlum.
Brawler is still in the OPâŚitâs kind of saddening to see him now.
I noticed a certain character appears on the Executionersâ hands if you pause at the right moment in the OP. Itâs the first character in shori (management).
Bunny: set meal/Shark: roasted meat (yakiniku)
âŚThis sounds a heck of a lot like the genbaku dome (Hiroshima Peace Park).
Bunny and Sharkâs shirts together: Idiot -> Shark: Bone
Actually, this also reminds me of the Osaka Expo held in 1970. I loved writing about that event â it was just so fun to write about.
This anime is like Appare-Ranmanâs sequel, except without the racing and crazy racial stereotypes (although there are still crazy stereotypes).
âŚwhoa! This scene is going on the end of year list for sure. JustâŚhave to remember this scene, where all the children disappeared, exists.
âŚâThe City of Lost Childrenâ is an apt title for this episode.
(HypMic spoilers!) I wonder if theyâll reveal that Ramuda is a clone in whatâs left of the HypMic anime?
âŚoof, Doctorâs a filthy traitor!
Rule number 1 of fighting: never yell out âSmokescreen!â when the smokescreen is meant to cover you.
âŚLOL, dark censorship bar. Please wait for the Blu-Rays to see this scene uncensored.
What the heck?! The countdown went from 7 to 0 so fast!
Akudama 8
Black Rain, huh? *checks* Itâs a movie about a pair of New York policemen who have to save a Japanese gangster from his death.
âŚdonât jinx it, Swindler!
Your brother isnât on the moon, Sister. Itâs just your dreams on there.
Notice âNeo Lake Biwaâ actually has âReikuâ in its name, as opposed to, say, âmizuumiâ or âikeâ (the Japanese equivalent).
You can still see where Doctor stitched herself up.
What did Doctor âhold on toâ?
Way to monologue through the whole morality thing⌠(<- not as satisfied as they would like from this scene)
I wonder if the seal is electronically trackedâŚ
Tsubo = pot, vaseâŚ*thinks about drugs* (Not that pot.)
ââŚIâll make you into a real man.â â More like a eunuch, LOL. (partially sarcastic)
I recall from Sarazanmai that âpair lookâ is the term for âtwinsiesâ in Japanese.
Oh! Swindler kind of looks like the Executioner Boss now.
âŚI find it ironic that Swindler had long hair up until not too long ago.
Can to the eye! Ouch! Thatâs gotta be worse than a lightsaberâŚer, jitte to the eye!
This makes me wonderâŚwas Courier a rich kid onceâŚ?

Deca-Dence 5
ââŚcannon wonât ignite in time!â The subbers spell cannon as âcanonâ later as well.
Off to the cliffside, where Kaburagi goes to dieâŚ
Deca-Dence 6
âMaybe someone intervened.â â I think Minato did, somehow.
This Death Dive reminds me of Wipeout.
Moriarty 3
I once made up a quote that goes, âWhen life detests you, fight back.â I think itâs also roughly along the lines of advice Albert needs.
I remembered an odd line from Macbeth: âBrother, he has killed me!â Seriously, Moriarty is scarier than some actual horror anime, I swearâŚUpdate: Itâs actually âhe has killed me, Mother!â, but same impact.
I had my hands over my mouth from the moment the fire began. Thatâs how intense this is.
This EDâŚdoesnât sound like an ED. It sounds like the OP for a different anime, like Joker Game or something. Also, having Saito Soma as Gentaro and MoriartyâŚis a bit unsettling because they have a lot of overlap but oneâs basically the evil twin of the other.
Yashahime 4
ââŚwas raised hereâŚâ
ââŚwe canâŚâ
I felt a heart twinge when I saw Towa tear upâŚman, itâs been years since I last dealt with Inuyasha properly.
ââŚnights where I canât fall asleep.â â SoâŚyouâll play it a lot then, Setsuna.
Oh, so Kirara is a nekomata? I never knew until now.
Kikyo!
According to the mythology, the kirin rules over the middleâŚso why is Kirinmaru the monster in the east?
Is âs***â unwarranted here? I didnât have the volume on, so I donât knowâŚGoing back, I think Moroha said âkusoâ, but itâs still kinda weird to have a swear word in a mostly family-friendly series in a slot near Detective Conan. (Then again, Detective Conan is where I learnt âkusoâ fromâŚso my standards are probably not as up-to-scratch as they should be.)
Rin! People keep saying Rin is the mother of the girls and itâs basically the only conclusion that could be done, considering the relationship the two hadâŚbut itâs still kind of squickâŚ(Says a person who has no problem with SGRS s2âs ending.)
Update: Someone on ANN said the teacherâs name (Osamu Kirin) being similar to Kirinmaru is sketchy and I agree.
Maou-jou 4
Thereâs no pun for Rocket TurtleâŚthatâs kinda startling, actually.
Iâm not going to translate the eyecatches anymore. Seems they were actually translated in the manga and someone just copies them over or something.
Iâve seen some characters use wa when they really arenât that feminine. However, the voice Suwabe uses for the Sorceror leads me to believe this guy really is trying to be feminine, even if in just a vocal capacity.
âŚaw, no puns here too.
Oh no, the sealâŚ!
âŚhmm? The Scissors Sorcerorâs info isâŚweâre not allowed to look at it. Thatâs what the red text says.
âŚmy brain exploded for a second when I suddenly heard jazz music. Itâs a Detective Conan parody! *screams*
Iina! doesnât really mean âLucky!â It means more like âcool!â or âItâs good, isnât it?â
I7 s2 5
I missed these boys!
I like the Kinako transition. Itâs cute.
I donât really like it when Tenn looks at the screenâŚit gives me 1st person cam vibes.
Why is Tsunashi being called âthisâ, anyway?
Oh yeahâŚmensore = youkoso = welcome.
Uh ohâŚis Yuki actually evil???
Riku (earth) vs. Tenn (heaven). Hmm.
I still canât believe they donât believe Gaku is the soba guy. Itâs so obvious!
Chikuzen-ni.
Someone on staff ships Gaku and Tsumugi togetherâŚhmmâŚ
Oh! So this is DESTINY, huh? Iâve probably heard it on Spotify before, but I donât recognise it by sheer sound like I do HypMic. (Then again, the half-year off the airwaves probably really hurt I7, manâŚ)
Akudama 4
Say what you will about how bad Funi translations can getâŚtheyâre definitely entertaining!
Geesh, Doctor gets all the sexy shots, but Brawler gets all the ab shots. Can I get a sexy Courier shot�
ââŚsheâs right.â â Thereâs a lot of dialogue here, soâŚuh, whoâs âsheâ in this case?
Whatâs a âbro froâ?
Wow, Brawler, talk about being punched into next TuesdayâŚ(partially joking)
Swindlerâs face, LOL. (I know sheâs an ordinary gal, but calling her âSwindlerâ is shorter to type.)
I remember reading around and people agree Swindler works at the Seal Centre.
The shark and bunnyâs shirts say things like âKanto/Kansaiâ, âearth, air/waterâ and âpollution/cleanâ during their montage.
âfeministâ â Uh, ex-squeeze me?! Feminism does not equal âladies firstâ or âgoing easy on ladiesâ. Update: I went and listenend to it and although one of my ears is mysteriously almost constantly plugged these days, Iâm fairly sure Doctor did not say âfeministâ (in katakana). Update 2: Then I listened to it again andâŚIâm not sure anymore.
LOL, Hoodlum hit the in-series camera. With his face.
Oh, vault = garage or storage. Right, how did I not know that?
Cat, nooooooooooooooooo! Donât die!
HypMic 5
After the two âdarkerâ divisions, it seems almost strange to not have a âdarkâ introduction about the seedy underbelly of alt. future JapanâŚ
Oh, my gosh. Thatâs Ichijiku on the phone.
The studio has the word âdropsâ on it.
Lemme guess: Neither hand!...Yup.
The only spoiler I know for this ep. is itâs a Halloween episode, and âRamuda ruins Halloweenâ. That quote is way too subjective to mean anything, thoughâŚ
âŚhmm, Gentaro doesnât say âshouseiâ in that sentence involving âthis humble bardâ (not that I heard, but one of my ears is mysteriously plugged after I stayed up late browsing Twitter on my phone â donât tell anyone that, though! Theyâre not meant to know!). Gentaro is not a humble bard (although that would translate âshouseiâ quite correctly in the Shakespearean), heâs an author.
LOL, that âding!â
Gentaro actually says âghostbustersâ in katakana, LOL.
I almost thought this Shinjuku man was DoppoâŚbut no, this Aoyama Cemetery exists. It has nice cherry blossoms.
The âdun dun dunâ soundtrack is great. It really sets the atmosphere.
Gentaro really is an idiotsâ minder, just as I used to characterise him. (Then the FP and M manga and developments regarding Ramuda being evil changed my mind.)
I-Is this just gonna be an episode of FP being scared and Ramuda yelling? Itâs fun for a bit, but when youâre stopping to analyse every few seconds, Ramudaâs voice is gonna get annoying eventuallyâŚ
Kurosu seems to be a cross between Jyushi and Doppo.
This epâŚmakes FP look money-crazy. Dice is only money-crazy when heâs brokeâŚbecause of course you would beâŚbut the others arenât.
That rock track that plays when FP hand out flyers is cool!
Are theyâŚeating squid?...Welp, squid jerky. Iâd say Iâm correct.
Oh, so theyâre all street photographers? Not just Tom?
I was wonderingâŚhow would the âtie to a different divisionâ occur in episode 5, considering episode 6 is where the plot really kicks in? Turns outâŚthey tie back to BB, which is not a thing I was expecting at all.
BB have a BB tabletâŚmakes sense, because I think Hypster have iPhone cases for each division.
Oh, theyâre planting the seeds of Ramudaâs ability here, so to speak. By knowing what Hypnosis Mics are capable of doing, you can see the building blocks of Rap Abilities as well.
Okonbanwa! The extra O is meant to make things formal, but only in front of nouns (sometimes itâs âgoâ, e.g. goshujin), so itâs Ramuda being overly formal to be cutesy and unconventional.
*lightbulb goes off in head* It makes sense that the group affiliated with illusions and randomness does the Halloween episode, actually.
âŚYargh! Of course all these onee-sans are FP stans!...*lightly touches temple, as if to get rid of a headache* I shouldâve known.
The new song is âShibuya Ghost Nightâ by Tokyo Health Club, Yuki âT-Grooveâ Takahashi and Yuma Hara.
*stops video before the darn airhorn sounds* Thank goodnessâŚhey, isnât this quote from Magical Girl Spec-Ops AsukaâŚ?
This episode is very seasonal, but doesnât really make sense outside of airing on Halloween. Câmon, couldnât you have given us a Sasara appearance instead of having Ramuda yell down the houseâŚ? I knew the FP episode was going to be either lighthearted with a dark undercurrent, like the BB ep (considering we havenât gotten to Ramuda dying yet), or full-on lighthearted, butâŚI somehow wonder if the staff had an empty spot labelled âFling Posse episodeâ due to COVID and went, âOkay, it airs on Halloween this year, letâs make it Halloween-inspiredââŚor something. Also, I feel Gentaro got the short end of the stick here.
Update: As for yakuwarigo, Ramuda trends towards the feminine side, which is not something I noticed until my groupwork partner pointed it out to me. The message in this episode has a âyoneâ, which proves that point even further. âDayo~nâ is a variant of the gender-neutral âyoâ ending. Meanwhile, I have game samples that prove Dice uses âzeâ like BB/MTC, while Gentaro uses âyoâ and desu/masu like Jakurai, so it was really Ramuda anyone wanted to pay attention to since his speech patterns are the most feminine-leaning, possibly due to his extensive hanging out with ladies. (I once read a Tofugu post on how non-binary people deal with language that said if you hang out with ladies a lot, you take on feminine yakuwarigo and if you hang out with guys a lot, you do the same in that direction, but I clearly remember Ramuda using âsaâ, which is a slightly male-leaning ending.)
Taiso Samurai 4
Thereâs something in the background which stops me from listening to it and one of my ears is blocked, but I gotta find out what Tackey was saying about the NHK Cup (the joke, I mean). Update: So I think itâs ninja/nukihara/kekkou, but I may have heard that wrong due to my blocked earâŚI should get someone to clean it out properly.
Hereâs the YoI monologue about competitions again. <- (neutral on it) Also, NHK is in English letters/romaji in the term âNHK Cupâ, but the âCupâ isnât (itâs in kanji).
Sekigahara had a huge historical battle.
Huh? This episodeâs called âSamurai Musume (daughter)â, soâŚwhere did âBattling Samuraiâ come from? Thatâs one of the previous episodes, right?
Selfies, before they were cool.
I was wondering if Leo actually calls Rei âRachelâ like he calls Jotaro âJoeââŚand he does. I just havenât paid much attention to the audio, thatâs all.
The Battle of Chibi? Never heard of it until now, but the Battle of Red Cliffs is the same thing.
Leo Naruto runsâŚLOL.
If Rei was in 4th grade in 2002âŚare we going to see the characters in the present in the end? She would be 28 in 2020.
I guess I shouldâve guessed from âhat trickâ, but a Bergkamp trap is related to soccer.
Thereâs a random Japanese-sounding track in the backgroundâŚdidnât expect that.
A cemeteryâŚon the day after Halloween.
âGrandmaâs placeâ = the barâŚOhhhhhhhhhh. I was wondering, didnât the grandma and Rei live together? Then it all came together.
Jim Beeam (sic), LOL.
I wonder, are Tackey and Ayu dating like he asks?
Gotta love a man in a suit! *chefâs kiss*
Yashahime 5
Whoâs this Tokotsu guy againâŚ? Also, the âjaâ in Jakotsumaru means âyoungâ.
Oh, Myoga. Itâs been a while.
Can there be 4 Perils when thereâs only 3 of themâŚ?
Well, it makes sense that a dog demon would have demon fleasâŚin a sense.
Why is âtrying to swallow up this world and turn it into a degenerate ageâ (or whatever Kirinmaruâs aim is) so vague? You could say the present is already an age of mass degeneracyâŚ
Maybe the Dream Butterfly took Morohaâs memoriesâŚ?
Wait, why is Myoga only allowed to drink Morohaâs blood when she puts on the rouge?
So this is an arhat. Also, arenât morals an Anglophone ideal imported into Japan and the rest of Asia? Thatâs what separates Towa from Setsuna.
Akudama 5
This drone definitely wonât come in handy at allâŚ(sarcastic)
Thereâs an Evangelion feel to these âmasksââŚ
That box is like Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs! Itâs great!
I like how the kids jump to the potential fact (?) this is a Swindler trick.
You can see Courierâs bike in the background when the bunny says ââŚand I mean everything.â
*Knights of Sidonia music starts playing* Search! And! Destroy! *record scratch as music stops*
I think this little discussion between Courier and Swindler will go down in Akudama Drive history as one of my favourite moments because itâs the little conversations that count. AlsoâŚdoes Courier have a mechanical hand, or is that just me thinking weird thingsâŚ? Is that a glove?
Ooh, scars. Sexy. (On the Executioner Master, at least.)âŚNow I get why the guy wears that mouth covering.
HypMic 6
Halfway through the season alreadyâŚ? Yikes, how time flies. By the way, my assignmentâs come and gone so I donât need to focus on it anymore.
Hmm? Why did the subbers put âPrime Ministerâ when Ichijiku merely says âyesââŚ?
Wait, 1st question: how does one sign up for a rap battle? I donât think thatâs ever been answered. 2nd question (well, not a question): Dice is paying attention to Otome nowâŚ
Iâm fairly sure that red brick warehouse was just thatâŚas in the Red Brick Warehouse in Yokohama, which was also featured in Bungou Stray Dogs. Update: Oh, itâs (partially) a shopping mallâŚ? I didnât know that until now.
See, I told you theyâre (Tom, Iris and Rex) probably foreignersâŚ
That one shot of Jakurai? *chefâs kiss* Beautiful. Give me a million of âem. (Okay, Iâm kidding to some degree, but I canât help staring at it. Jakuraiâs just too prettyâŚ)
âTweet-like lyricsâ? Eh? When was Twitter a collective pessimist?
Oh, thatâs basically the scene from the drama track. Where the heck is Jakurai fishing thoughâŚ? I always imagined it to be at a river or a pier, not some concrete complex. Update: According to a user on Twitter, the fishing place is called âIchigaya Fishing Centreâ. It is, as you would expect, found in Shinjuku. Apparently, even Osomatsu-san featured the place...which would explain why it looks vaguely familiar to me.
Wow, I canât believe how upfront theyâre being about Ramuda breaking up TDD.
Ramuda thought in his deep voiceâŚI almost didnât recognise it for a second. It doesnât even sound like Shirai. It sounds more likeâŚHayami, in fact.
âF*** yeah!â - âŚand theyâre still going with the F bomb. Keep being you, subbers, keep being you.
That shot of Saburo in a dimly-lit room almost looks like the SR card in ARB, except in that one he has his headphones on (and might be outside, to my memory).
Oh, so the round thing really is Ichiroâs ring. Itâs got an âIâ on it too, i.e. the Roman numeral for one.
*Ichiro explains what happened to TDD from his and Samatokiâs side* - I donât think weâve ever seen the story from Ichiroâs or Samatokiâs perspective enough to know either thought this (or this way).
âJiro! Saburo! Letâs go!â - âŚand Tomâs just taking photos as they leave, LOL.
I didnât expect the TsudaKen guy to be back again, really.
Well, if this Google route is to be believed, âSadamezukaâs soulâ only lasts about 30 minutes by car crossing from one point to the other, hence Jiroâs remark.
Googling âToyotamaâ and âToyotama Lineâ gets youâŚGhost of Tsushima linksâŚ?
âŚhmm. Iâm not listening to it on a hugely loud volume, so I canât quite tell what the pun is, but I think the word for âmonkâ in this case is âbouzuâ. Then whatâs the word for âelectric dynamoââŚ? Update: The pun, according to Takahisa Maeyama, is Erekiteruteru Bouzu.
That ticking thing was really effective in terms of the songâŚbut sasuga HypMic. Things went ka-blammo again.
So weâre probably going to see BBâs first DRB round next epâŚor Matenrou doing another takedown similar to ep. 3. Or both. Both is good. (Or it could be the FP/M side of things, much like we got the BB/MTC side of things here.)
...Uh, shouldnât that be âdawnâ? The animeâs generally been very good about this (aside from the obvious typo in the BB logo), butâŚwelp, theyâve done it now.
Update: The LOVE you see Hifumi and Doppo near is this one.
Update 2: As for the yakuwarigo, itâŚturns out, to no oneâs surprise, it stays oddly consistent across all media, although individual treatment of the characters can differ depending on the author.
HGPC 4
Ooh, is this Element of Light?
Fate/Stay PreCure! Here we come!
Moriarty 4
Why is the âtoâ capitalised? (Is that even capitalised?)
Quinine.
I kind of knew the grapefruit and the heart condition and/or quinine would be relevant somehowâŚand boy howdy, was I right! I just didnât really know what it was going to do, thatâs all.
I thought the ED didnât match very well, but looking at the translated lyricsâŚnow it kind of makes sense.
