Not an ask, but just HOW freaking Fantastic was that episode.

Anónimo ha comentado a thatsjustsupergirl: What was your general opinion on the episode? I just really want to hear from the sane portion of the fandom, not the people who throw hissy fits over every tiny little thing…

There were lots of things I liked! There were also a few major things I did not like, and they came from the same problem the show’s always had of wanting to be Meaningful but Not Thinking It Through. Honestly it feels like trying to advise a clueless student by shouting from across the Grand Canyon, but there’s been progress since S1, and there’s also been a consistent willingness to make it, so I will take that and continue to see where it goes.

tl;dr I agree with AV Club’s take: this episode was a bit more ambitious than it had time or space (pun!) to be.

THINGS I ENJOYED:

all of the comedic moments meant to break up the intense stuff

Space Dad & Space Daughter going on interplanetary adventures

“Careful with the leather, there, Supergirl!”

literally every word out of Kara’s mouth when she rolled up in J’onn’s car playing the tacky American tourist

“Kill me now” re: all those effing terrible party games

Winn and James giving Alex shit, #fam

someone whose musical orientation is lyrics made good choices

J’onn: MY LOVE ISN’T THE KIND THAT FOLDS

Alex: YOU GO YOUR WAY, I’LL GO MINE / AND WE’LL SEE NEXT TIME

also “30th century” reference implied so A+ bonus hint

Kara: MY LONELINESS IS KILLING ME

Eliza Danvers remains a stellar example of humanity

um I LOVE CARL LUMBLY AND I HAVE MISSED HIS FACE ON MY TV?

when he was poking at that plant at the end of the episode I had to restrain myself from screaming “IT’S ALL GREEN!” ala Elphaba in Wicked (eyyyyy, another Wizard of Oz reference)

M’gann deserves her own spinoff or at least a six-episode short about the Martian rebellion, and I deserve this as well.

PEOPLE WHO CAN ACT WERE ALLOWED TO ACT??????

Things That Gave Me Forehead Crinkle:

M’gann was primarily a plot device for introducing M’yrnn

There was so, so much exposition – necessary, given the time constraints, but this episode was trying to cram in way too much history about multiple characters all at once

Kara using the sacred Martian relic as a weapon when she was the only a) non-Martian and b) white person there was … symbolically awkward

Was Kara actually killing the White Martians or not? I couldn’t tell from my first watch, but that’s … a thing that shouldn’t be tossed out so casually.

Why did anyone feel compelled to give Maggie’s father an accent when his backstory involved him moving here as a child???

Similarly, while I appreciate that they tried to give a deeper context to his reasoning, you can’t just throw out a single opinion on a hot-button topic when you’re representing a minority culture. That is one thing Glee did right re: Santana, and One Day At a Time got it right as well.

This is related to the “trying to do too much in one episode” problem. (And the “you should have developed this character more last year” problem. And the “we don’t really acknowledge how color or ethnic heritage impact our characters’ lives except via occasional one-liners” problem.)

Also dear show: no more awkward social justice buzzwords, ever. I appreciate the explicit change to Kara’s opening monologue identifying her as a refugee, but the whole immigration tangent out nowhere when we haven’t heard or seen a word about human politics on that front was … cringe-worthy.

Astra 4 - 6 | Demon Slayer 17 - 19 | Cop Craft 4 - 6 | Dr Stone 3 - 6 | Fruits Basket 15 - 19 | Given 3 - 5

Astra 4

How does anyone wash their hands with a spacesuit on?

Those exaggerated faces (reaction to candy plants) weren’t in the manga. Good thing too – they improve on the source.

Hey, man (Ulgar)! “Big girl” is offensive. (I’m probably saying that because I’m not too big myself.)

The *ding ding ding!* was pretty hilarious…LOL.

I remember this was pretty harsh to read for me the first time…because y’know what they say about representation mattering in feminist studies/articles? Yeah, that. (Exactly how I’m represented? That I’ll leave to your imagination…)

Aw, the Gruppie sounds adorable!

I think I’ve said this already, but Kanata uses the word “zetsubou” – despair, not necessarily “hopeless” – to say what he says.

Demon Slayer 17

I was a bit confused as to why Inosuke was majorly angry all the time, but then I realised that he’s not necessarily angry, per se - he is just majorly competitive.

*head on spider legs appears* ARGHHHHHHHHHHH! That reminds me of that head on spider legs from Toy Story…I seem to remember that freaked me out to some degree. I’m actually not afraid of spiders, but show me an image for “trypophobia” (fear of tiny holes) or stick me somewhere high up without secure footing…and I’m gone.

This episode is…great! I’m cursing as I watch, but it’s great! The CGI is adding to the creepiness! Also, I so didn’t expect Zenitsu to have black hair.

I agree with Zenitsu’s master, he is a moron…

…but truth be told, I think I see myself in him. That’s probably why I find him so annoying. Lately, I’ve found there are periods where I resent myself more than anyone else…and that’s the scariest part about living life. But I can’t complain, because I put my name down to help others in the same situation.

Z-Zenitsu! I-I’m sorry I ever doubted you! I’m so sorry…! I promise I’ll stop thinking you’re annoying, because you remind me of meeeeeeeeeee…! *sob, snivel, sob…*

Ukogiiiiiiiiii! Wahhhhhhhhh!

Hmm…you can smell rain. I’ve smelt it before. But thunderclouds…? Not so much.

Demon Slayer 18

“Rookie Mizunoto join the battle!” – The Smash Bros intro is a fun way to introduce people, no?

I thought Shinobu Kocho was Naruto running, but instead she has her jacket on her shoulders…so it only looks like Naruto running.

CG models are back to being awkward again…

“If you can’t slash something with one sword, you just gotta pound it with another sword!” – Basically, the philosophy of the entire shonen genre when dealing with swords.

“I’m gonna die.” – Well, there’s some words I thought I’d never hear from Inosuke…

Oh yeah…I forgot Inosuke’s never met Giyu.

Hmm…I’ve been suspecting Rui is the member of the 12 Kizuki as a demon with lower possibility of being so (but being raised by Ply’s hint during our collab and Tanjiro’s fight), but I’m more certain of the father being the 12 Kizuki based on what the series has shown us already. Hmm…so who is it???

*starts watching Taisho Secret* Wait, where did Giyu come from??? *watches again* Oh, he appears from above…! Interesting…

Hmm…I like salmon onigiri myself. I also like tuna…most flavours, really.

Cop Craft 4

The man (?) with the purplish hair who called Kei over is meant to be a gay stereotype or at least close to one. Aside from his (?) appearance, you can tell by him (?) nding his sentences with “wa”.

Marth’s post for ep. 4 said “And Suddenly, Vampires”, so…I’m thinking about how Cop Craft actually does the horror vibe really well as I watch.

Aw, these cliffhangers suck! I’m starting to thank myself that I ran behind on every show but Demon Slayer.

Cop Craft 5

O-Oh, the CG is getting worse…

Who was the 2nd person dead? The 1st was Chapman…

Astra 5

As I’m laughing at the reactions from the makeover (because I knew this was coming), I’m simultaneously wondering…holding those scissors in the way you’re doing is dangerous, Luca!!!

Oh great…midseason animation slump. This is only the 2nd show to suffer from that this season…and I’ve only caught up on 3 shows so far.

“Mine is bigger!” “No, mine is!” – Ah, anime boys and their ability to make things vaguely Freudian when out of context…*slight sweatdrop*

*slow pan, with a final shot on Aries’s boobs* - Oh, really…? *grumpy*

*…then proceeds to do boob shots of all the girls* Oh, really?!? You wanna go, show?! You were doing so well, up until this episode!!! I didn’t read past volume 2 of the manga, so this beach stuff is all new to me!!! Plus, it sucks because boob shots are everywhere!!!

“…approach him like that…”

People have been pointing this out, but McPa = Camp, Shummoor = Mushroom, Vilavurs = Survival…so Arispade = Paradise.

Ulgar really reminds me of Tooi, even though he came first…

Dr Stone 3

Taiju’s ugly tears make me go “d’aww” now that this scene is animated…it was nice in manga format, but even better when it was moving and with colour.

Now that I think about it, Tsukasa’s “benefit of the new world” talk reminds me of Death Note.

Senku trying to steal Kamakura Buddha bronze looks like Bart Simpson…

Boueibu should’ve taught you that Hakone is home to hot springs.

Dr Stone 4

You don’t fire a smoke signal…

Oh wow, Mecha Senku! Wouldya lookit that! *points at him* He answers questions in the manga, so I didn’t think he’d get adapted!

Are those…CGI trees? Oh great, why does all shonen these days need CGI trees???

Fighting over established interests means a Thucydides trap (a mini version of which seems to be playing out here with Tsukasa)…that’s basically the only thing I remember from my old politics classes.

I just noticed Yuzuriha refers to all the boys with –kun. She wants to stay friends with all of them…I guess even Tsukasa’s on that list, huh?

Hmm…Senku’s eyes are a reddish colour, but otherwise he’s normally representd with blue to Taiju’s red…

I just realised Senku has a red pen and a black pen in one of his breast pockets.

Aww…it’s nice to have rivals who aren’t 100% evil for once. Sure, pure evil rivals are easy to write but hard to justify. Good guys with one morally wrong aspect to them are harder to write, but easier to get behind. (Plus, at least they’re not Sasuke-style angsty.)

Dr Stone 5

So…I went searching…and I was wondering why I wanted to claim Tsukasa as husbando (but man, he’s a bit more stereotypical for a gal to fall in love with – all girls like bad guys, amirite???), but as it turns out, Senku and his buds from our era (Tsukasa included) are 18 and so are ripe for the husbando/waifu picking (not to mention they’re technically over 3700 years old, which more than makes them legal for things like drinking alcohol, as Senku himself pointed out a few eps back).

D’aww…this was in the manga, but now I find Tsukasa inserting himself into Senku’s flashback cute.

Notably, Gen Asagiri appears on the front of the book this student is asking the question from. Who’s Gen Asagiri, you ask, my dear anime-only random nonexistent entity I type these notes for? You’ll find out…soon.

Hmm…Yuzuriha is more observant than we give her credit for. Also, Senku pulled a Gen Asagiri right there…LOL.

LOL…those ���shrooms seem massively symbolic. They were also in the manga, IIRC.

Why does Yuzuriha wear a neck scarf, anyway?

Hey, they even managed to get the game-like text box right! Awesome! (It reminds me of Little Alchemy, to be honest.)

“Himo” translates to rope…or a cord. Just FYI.

Astra 6

Eyyy…this show is calling me out.

Eyyyyy…Toi vibes from Ulgar!!!

Eyyyyy…wut? I can’t believe Anime Feminist was on the money here??? (Context: The reviewer for Astra said Luca was “one ambiguously-gendered character”.)

Hey…I once read a book with a 50% similarity to this plot. (There was a gay character – not intersex - and all the characters are adopted.)

I think Xenodude said this, but…in space, nobody can hear you scream.

I’m laughing so hard…why are Kanata’s abs the thing that hurt the most? (It’s because he’s got the harness in that region…forget I asked. It’s still funny though.)

“MILD THING” – Yep, Ulgar’s gonna be mild after what happened this episode…

Ohhhhh, I didn’t understand the “hairpiece” thing until it was revealed it was a toupee through context.

Ooh, 50% chance of lying here. Who to trust, who to trust? Charce or Aries? (I trust Aries, by the way.)

Dr Stone 6

The alien explanation etc. was in the manga, but…why do all the attackers look like Senku???

Senku does his best Thinker impression.

Eyyy! Fighter vs. fighter. I love this scene, even if only because Tsukasa (and his muscles) have the upper hand in both the visual angle and the power balance, although [BLEEP <- no spoilers!] has the surprise factor.

I remember learning once blonde hair is recessive…so does that mean most of the community is blonde? (I know the answer to that, but you, my non-existent anime-discussing entity, don’t.)

I’m tempted to hear Senku scream, “This. Is. SCIENCE!!!”

Fruits Basket 15

For some reason, videos run much faster on my phone than my laptop…

Hmm…this is the first time I’m properly listening to the 2nd ED…It’s kinda like how you’d expect an ED to be: quieter than an ED, but still serving up cuteness.

Fruits Basket 16

This episode’s visually very dark…

Middle School!Tohru reminds me of Hitori Bocchi.

Smol Uo looks like Kyo.

Fruits Basket 17

(nothing this time, sorry!)

Fruits Basket 18

Oh! I remember the matching scene in the manga (where Kisa bites Tohru for the first time).

I also remember the manga Hatsuharu is reading is called “Mogeta and the Ant” (Ari).

Now you see why Tohru is Kyoko’s daughter…

“…what her hair and eye colour were.”

Fruits Basket 19

The ep is called “I’m So Sorry!”…I think I know who’s going to star in this episode, alright…

For some reason, when I see Ritsu and Mitchan apologising to each other, I think of me and Astral…(LOL…?)

…Or maybe it reminds me of Zenitsu…?

Eyyyyyyyy, A-ya is A-ya…

This overly-apologetic character of Ritsu…this is why Martin was my favourite character back in the original Ro.Te.O days…*sighs while basking in nostalgia*

Demon Slayer 19

This episode’s been hyped since last week. Let’s get on with it!

Ooh, no pattern on this title card…

Wow (sarcastic), talk about infighting…but amazingly, I found Inosuke’s art shift to be funny for once in my life! (Amazing!...and yes, the exclamation of “Amazing!” is sincere)

Using terror is…well, Machiavellian. Hard power. You get my drift, right?

So basically, Rui breaks down the nuclear family for us.

Wait a flippin’ second…Hinokami (god of fire)? Charcoal selling? Water Breathing??? One of these is not like the others, for sure.

I get the feeling the father’s dance was recorded as video then converted to animation by ufotable staff…that’s what they did for YoI, no?

“The cold won’t bother you, either.” - Well, due to his fire theming, the cold never bothered Tanjiro anyway…*echoes of “Let It Go” suddenly play in the background*

Go for it, Nezuko! Be the Bakugo of the Demon Slayer world!

According to the credits, Tanjiro’s dad’s name is Tanjuro…that’s confusing, to say the least…

(Sorry Astral, the background noise while I was watching meant I did’t watch it with sound on…Also, is it wrong that I think the dad is hot??? Another thing: why do Tanjuro and Tanjiro have matching scars on their temples…?)

One of Tanjiro’s bros looks like Zenitsu??? Wuh???

Ooh, insert song “Kamado Tanjiro’s Song” by Go Shiina ft Nami Nakagawa. I’ll have to listen to it when I can. (Ever since SGRS, I’ve loved Go Shiina’s work…guess I didn’t expect it here, though.) Update: Misattributed the work. Go Shiina does videogame work, Sheens Ringo did SGRS stuf.

Given 3

I never knew that asking someone into a band was like asking someone out…(probably because I’ve never been in a band).

Given’s a frickin’ riot – that’s one reason I stuck with it.

I forgot Mafuyu was underage…!

Cop Craft 6

That car chase was basically Need for Speed…with worse graphics…

“Prayboy”…hmm…

I followed Kei’s advice to Google Jeffrey Dahmer…and I regret it.

The text says “Someone from the Semanian gang of thieves made contact.”

I didn’t make sense of “I hate being McCloud” until I rewound a bit and found that’s a disguise or alter ego of Tony’s.

“Shift the transmission into ‘Reverse’. The car will begin to roll backward sharply…” - The driving instructions are real, at least.

Given 4

Ehhhhh…still shots…

Kaji sure looks tough for a violinist…but a music major? Never thought he’d be one…(I saw some spoilers saying Kaji was a violinist before I watched the episode, hence my lack of surprise in that department.)

Not everyone’s in a band, y’know…

$120…? Nasty…

$70…

Ah, a layby? I don’t actually know what other countries call it, but where I am they’re called laybys, not layaways. (At the charity store I volunteer at, they call ‘em “holds”, though…which makes things even more confusing.)

Watching th first ep at the anime club made me realise that one had a piano version of Marutsuke, while this one is standard Marutsuke.

Given 5

Ooh, I see English-translated lyrics! Nice one, subbers! By the way, the title of the OP “Kizuato” sounds like it should translate to “Traces of Scars/Wounds” in English, but it’s in katakana, so I can’t confirm that…

It seems joining a band is a metaphor for love in this show…(see ep. 3 notes for more on that)

Holy moly! I’m still fairly new to BL/yaoi in general, so two-timing the boyfriend is not a trope ‘ve seen before, let alone dealt with in my head…

Ooh, more translated lyrics! That (ED singer) does sound like Mafuyu, come to think of it…

[screamingtofu]

d&d session 6: burials, bathhouses and buying things

Had another d&d session, I’m now keeper of the party funds because I was keeping track of it anyway.

We pick up outside Merigan village, Eridol surrounded by guards giggling uncontrollably at his prank and our now conscious charge, Melissa bolts into town towards the temple and we all follow suit. We find a room of 12 people, covered in pustules, black veins spiderwebbing all over their bodies, all of them as pale as the sheets they’re on. They’re sick yo. Fortunately there’s a cleric and paladin that just turned up like awesome magical EMT’s and Drack and Eridol get to work. Eridol cures one of them and heals a few others to keep them alive longer and Drack cures Heinrik (aka the dude who’s daughter we had to find) and an old man before dumping his last batch of divine magic into a small child who while it did cure her of the disease she had been plagued with, couldn’t do anything to stop her from dying. She was just too far gone unfortunately. Drack says a prayer to Lentys and hears a high pitched ringing as his prayer finishes.

We go and talk to the abbot of the temple to let him know and discuss burial rites for the girl, Sarah. The abbot gives us a brief rundown of what is required and takes us out to a bunch of freshly dug graves, but suggests we talk to her family to see if there is anything they would need for the burial. Drack mentions that we believe we had encountered the source of the disease in an orc shaman for Yurt’ris - the lord of maggots/the rotting one ... this seems to alarm the abbot and he runs off to his chambers, leaving Drack and Eridol standing by the graves. After a minute or two of silence, Eridol brings up his vision from last session and they talk about what it could mean and what to do for the remainder of the time they’d be in town. They head back to the temple and sleep outside the room with all the sick people. Eridol had flashes of his vision throughout the night, Drack had a full fledged vision this time though. Bright light and fire surrounds Drack from every direction as far as the eye can see, a shadowed figure appears at the centre of the fire and moves towards Drack before he wakes up.

Olgum, our hobgoblin fighter decided to sleep in an alley outside and found out he was being followed by two of the towns guard. Olgum being the “negative shits given” type decides to continue napping as the guards get close enough to draw the attention of Olgum’s worg pup, Ras. This is enough to get Olgum’s attention and he finds out the guards had been following him for a while because they’re hunting aficionados who like to bet on hunts and as Olgum tends to come into town with multiple carcasses each time he goes hunting, they wanted to make a wager. Olgum shuts them down as gently as he knows how to ... which is not gentle at all. As they wander off, Olgum drifts off to sleep. Waking up to find a good chunk of his gold and one of his prized hand axes missing. After a failed investigation check, he makes his way to a local tavern to partake in everyone’s favourite past time, Day drinking.

Drack and Eridol cure another 4 people of the disease that’s been afflicting them and heal the remainder of the ill to make sure no one else dies and head out to get some supplies for the burial and to run some errands as Raven, our elven druid goes to spend a day relaxing at the spa.

Drack and Eridol go to see possibly my favourite npc, Sven the creepy skin guy. Whose shop is now much more inviting and less “I’ll take your organs while you’re not looking”. Eridol commissions a crocodile skin cloak because although Sven practically terrifies Eridol, the dude does amazing work. We also sell him some left over animal skins and then get to the real business, Drack brings out the 8 orc heads, 2 goblin heads and pristine elf skin gloves we snagged from the shaman/priest back at the orc camp and sweet babies, Sven nearly dies of joy. I bring out the scalp cape we took off the orog warchief from the orc camp and explain to Sven that I want to make sure that everyone that died to make this thing gets proper burial rites and that I need Sven’s help to disassemble it. As payment I bring out the full orc skin I somehow nat 20′d on getting. Sven refuses payment and disassembles the cloak for us, We sell him all the skins and heads before leaving to visit the blacksmith that “borrowed” Drack’s sword last time we were in town. Drack organises to get his plate armor repaired and a filigree added as well as retrieves his sword which as we find out was a lot fancier that originally thought and is a god damn magical sword with +1 to hit as well as some kind of evocation magic to it as well. Lucky lizard bastard gets the first magical weapon. I’m not jealous, you’re jealous.

We go to the bathhouse and get cleaned up before going to see Sarah’s family to let them know about Sarah, the burial and to see if they had any specific rituals required for the burial rites. Drack decides to hang back because he’s not exactly the person you want to hear bad news from. I knock on the door and am greeted by a tired, emaciated man who within seconds becomes a tired, emaciated and emotionally broken pile of a human being. I bring the guy back inside, we talk and he starts drinking. He was Sarah’s father and her only living family after the mother died, he would make it to the burial at sunset to see Sarah off and that her mother was a follower of Tyr which eyyyyy is great news for me. I give the father a satchel of gold as condolences and we leave. After a few other non essential errands Drack and I head back to the temple to start preparations for the burial to find our sorcerer, Core in a heated discussion with the abbot about the orc shaman and what followers of Yurt’ris being seen means. Drack and Eridol get into their priests vestments and start out to the graveyard, the body already prepared by the abbot and temple staff. We consecrate the ground and wait for the father to arrive. The sun sets and it starts to rain. We wait 30 minutes and nothing, the rest of the party and the temple staff come out to watch an hour after sunset and the father shows up. Stinking of booze and grief. We start the ceremony with Drack assisting and Eridol giving the burial rites of his god. Everyone watching begins helping to lower the body and Eridol gets more flashes of his vision, this time the bright pinprick of light seeming closer and chasing away more of the darkness. As the vision fades, the burial is completed and people begin moving back to the temple. All except the father who is just weeping on the ground next to the grave and Eridol who just sits down next to him in silence.

Everyone ends up at the tavern for the night to drink and eat. Eridol sees Olgum over in the corner and tries to get his attention by using thaumaturgy to make the fire burst slightly ... this certainly does something and accidentally sets a small girls pigtail on fire but does not get Olgums attention. Drack and Eridol get super drunk and drack passes out, keeping with tradition eridol messes with him and draws dicks on every exposed piece of skin Drack has before signing it with the sorcerers name. Our sorcerer gives us a sending stone so we can talk to him from anywhere on the plane and tells us that we need to go see the council in the capital city of Principium and that we’ll need to think up a group name for when we are introduced to the council. And we end there for the session.
