Spoiler: Episode 5 • show

[forlornhope] go
[Noirlax] Go go GamiGami
[ShadowBlazer30000] go
[MartAnimE] Go~! :sauropod:
[MartAnimE] the OP theme is kinda cute
[Noirlax] This is a cute show
[MartAnimE] what's an Anemoritos :thinking:
[Noirlax] Anemoritos
[forlornhope] seems important :thinking:
[MartAnimE] they're having a moonlit tea party :smile:
[Noirlax] lol
[forlornhope] oh beach episode :smile:
[MartAnimE] lol this episode is checking a lot of boxes :white_check_mark:
[forlornhope] the anime staple :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
[Noirlax] lol
[ShadowBlazer30000] this has a beach episode, Madlax had a pool episode and El Cazador had a hot spring episode so the trifecta was completed :beach:  :man_swimming: :hotsprings:
[forlornhope] lol
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] yeah Noir has a beach episode too :smile:
[Noirlax] yeah :smile:
[MartAnimE] she turned
[MartAnimE] kapukapu
[Noirlax] kapukapu
[MartAnimE] I like the way they say it :smile:
[Noirlax] sounds like a bad idea :smile:
[forlornhope] no really.. :smile:
[Noirlax] I mean Pietro being a dragon to blow the water away
[forlornhope] lol I was agreeing
[MartAnimE] I think he should practice actually
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] so he can learn to control it better
[forlornhope] his mom should teach him
[MartAnimE] yeah the mother of dragons :dragon:
[forlornhope] lol
[MartAnimE] Dracarys~! :fire:
[forlornhope] oww :crab:
[Noirlax] he shot the water backwards lol
[MartAnimE] nice sand drawing
[Noirlax] yeah
[forlornhope] pretty sunset :city_sunset:
[forlornhope] I don't think he cares hyuu :smile:
[forlornhope] hmm wonder if there are more wind-kind
[forlornhope] kind of sad otherwise :v
[MartAnimE] is she the last airbender :thinking:
[Noirlax] I like those waves
[MartAnimE] she's trying to kidnap him :sweat_smile:
[ShadowBlazer30000] at least he gets a choice in this, the game I played he does get kidnapped and sent to a strange world
[MartAnimE] lol oh noes
[MartAnimE] aww she's sad
[MartAnimE] lol the witch "I'm still young"
[Noirlax] lol
[forlornhope] a 100 years young :smile:
[Noirlax] shes young at heart
[MartAnimE] that's the spirit :smile:
[forlornhope] love triangle :v
[MartAnimE] Hyuu doesn't want Narcia cramping their style :open_mouth:
[forlornhope] lol turned the books into butterflies
[Noirlax] cute magic
[MartAnimE] seems nice being able to fly away when you're annoyed :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] :smile:
[Noirlax] I have a feeling its probably the dragons but we'll see.
[MartAnimE] go sleep in the bed Pietro :sleeping:
[Noirlax] Ston is a mini-minion :smile:
[MartAnimE] oh dragon time :dragon_face:
[forlornhope] dog plush
[forlornhope] :dog:
[MartAnimE] it's cute :dog:
[MartAnimE] we've seen it in a previous episode I think
[MartAnimE] oh noes, more idiot villain in the next episode :smile:
[Noirlax] But he's a fun character to have around :smile:
[MartAnimE] Pietro might be in trouble without his dragon powers
[forlornhope] nice to have a break from the villain though
[MartAnimE] yeah he is rather noisy
[MartAnimE] nice to have a quiet episode once in a while
[forlornhope] gets formulaic when they have to kick his butt every episode
[Noirlax] when its not GamiGami, it's Ston the mini-Minion
[MartAnimE] he needs time to recover after getting his butt kicked :smile:
[Noirlax] lol yeah
[forlornhope] that too :smile:
[MartAnimE] any more thoughts?
[MartAnimE] Alex you still here right?
[ShadowBlazer30000] yeah no further thoughts
[Noirlax] Not much more, feel like  Hyuu is going to get them in conflict or trouble.
[MartAnimE] I hope Hyuu doesn't try to get between Pietro and Narcia, would be nice if they could all be friends, but at the same time, I guess the show needs conflict :sweat_smile:
[forlornhope] yeah gotta have drama :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] yeah but a lot of the conflict is coming from Hyuu's attendants - Ston the mini-Minion and Sanda the pink Hamtaro
[MartAnimE] yeah they're kinda mean
[Noirlax] they want to return Hyuu to her own world but they are mean about it :smile:
[MartAnimE] they sound pretty resentful of Hyuu
[MartAnimE] maybe they should just leave :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] maybe they should team up with GamiGami XD
[MartAnimE] it kinda sucks if they're being kept against their will
[MartAnimE] lol yeah, but then the bad guys would be too strong XD
[Noirlax] lol
[Noirlax] I feel like those two are like servants to Hyuu who is like a noble's daughter or princess, she seems a little spoilt :smile:
[MartAnimE] yeah probably
[MartAnimE] I'm ready for episode 6 now
[Noirlax] ready too
[ShadowBlazer30000] ready
[forlornhope] ready

[forlornhope] ah there's the knight
[MartAnimE] the white knight
[MartAnimE] poor Pietro
[MartAnimE] it's not his fault
[Noirlax] uh oh yeah
[Noirlax] Nice machine GamiGami
[MartAnimE] that's very complex
[forlornhope] lol what is he doing
[Noirlax] lol he's so cheesy!
[MartAnimE] not sure why they thought the dragon power could help them time travel :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] kid's logic :smile:
[MartAnimE] quite a leap in logic
[MartAnimE] but yeah they're just up to no good
[MartAnimE] aww betrayal :cry:
[Noirlax] aww
[ShadowBlazer30000] think  an instrumental version of the franchise's theme playing  every so often
[MartAnimE] oh cool, post it later if you can find it!
[forlornhope] don't think creating a country is as easy as you think :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] just stick a flag on the ground
[MartAnimE] "this is mine"
[MartAnimE] :crown:
[MartAnimE] :smile:
[forlornhope] lol
[Noirlax] a flag with a panda hat in your case!
[forlornhope] this is parta :v
[MartAnimE] :crown:
[MartAnimE] :panda_face:
[forlornhope] lol another song
[MartAnimE] lol the song again
[Noirlax] lol she's a funny witch
[MartAnimE] wow legs
[Noirlax] lol pandemioum XD
[MartAnimE] that machine is all legs
[MartAnimE] love potions are always funny :hearts:
[MartAnimE] aww poor Pietro
[MartAnimE] he's very outmatched this time :sweat:
[forlornhope] aww he's still trying to protect her
[MartAnimE] he's so good ^^
[Noirlax] yeah he's pure
[Noirlax] lol the love potion onto GamiGami XD
[MartAnimE] I knew the love potion would fall on someone :smile:
[forlornhope] lol he's going to fall in love with pietro
[forlornhope] or hyuu
[MartAnimE] she's gonna hurt him :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] oh bye legs
[forlornhope] oh no
[forlornhope] running away huh
[MartAnimE] I don't get why she went with him, but guess we'll see
[Noirlax] yeah the preview suggests something
[MartAnimE] oh I guess if she wanted a country she might take GamiGami's castle :japanese_castle:
[Noirlax] maybe
[MartAnimE] but I don't think that love potion is gonna last forever :sweat_smile:
[forlornhope] probably not :sweat_smile:
[MartAnimE] they never do :V
[Noirlax] Narcia has restbite for awhile XD
[MartAnimE] lol yeah what a relief :sweat_smile:
[ShadowBlazer30000] https://youtu.be/VAhP43ubXYM?t=11084
[MartAnimE] cool thanks
[Noirlax] I find this anime they dramatise for laughs
[Noirlax] a bit. Nice Alex
[ShadowBlazer30000] I swear there's a lyrical version but I can't seem to find it
[MartAnimE] ah yeah, they play it when there's notes before the episode
[ShadowBlazer30000] https://youtu.be/RMJ13Z7Atmg?t=6394 and there is a lyrical version the last song
[MartAnimE] this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y_QAdkNAj4
[Noirlax] This version is nice
[MartAnimE] it's a cute song
[MartAnimE] I guess something happens to his mother in the games
[MartAnimE] doesn't look like they're following that plot in the anime
[Noirlax] oh this is close to the OP version also nice
[MartAnimE] ok gonna grab a drink, then I'm ready for 7

[MartAnimE] aww Mio chased him away :sweat_smile:
[forlornhope] jealous :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] now they're just playing behind me on the bed
[MartAnimE] what an interesting looking building
[Noirlax] lol GamiGami and those two XD
[MartAnimE] they belong together
[MartAnimE] these three :smile:
[forlornhope] lol yeah. they should be his minions not hyuu's
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] lol madonna
[forlornhope] lol that's creepy
[Noirlax] lol XD
[MartAnimE] he was quick getting all those pictures
[Noirlax] he has quite a library
[forlornhope] poor pietro
[MartAnimE] Don and Gon :smile:
[forlornhope] it rhymes :smile:
[Noirlax] :smile:
[Noirlax] This knight is cool
[MartAnimE] yeah he's helpful
[MartAnimE] aww that's so mean
[MartAnimE] poor Narcia
[Noirlax] awww
[MartAnimE] but there's probably a point to it
[Noirlax] I like Narcia's hat :smile:
[MartAnimE] I liked that she talked to her other self in the water
[Noirlax] that's cool too
[forlornhope] go narcia go
[MartAnimE] escape~!
[MartAnimE] lol he has a song too
[forlornhope] love the songs :smile:
[Noirlax] pretty musical anime :smile:
[ShadowBlazer30000] I always wanted an anime musical
[MartAnimE] yeah it's unexpected :smiley:
[MartAnimE] lol she's so tsundere
[Noirlax] yeah I guess she's kiddy tsundere
[MartAnimE] alright, she got it!
[Noirlax] I think Guilda is like oh I used to be like that :smile:
[MartAnimE] yeah :smile:
[Noirlax] Luckily Pietro can take a beating he's used to it!
[MartAnimE] he's a lot weaker without his powers though :persevere:
[Noirlax] awww
[MartAnimE] she finally came to her senses
[forlornhope] finally :sweat_smile:
[MartAnimE] drama :open_mouth:
[Noirlax] love triangle
[MartAnimE] or is it a square with GamiGami :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] lol
[forlornhope] lol
[forlornhope] surprised pikachu face
[Noirlax] yeah :smile:
[MartAnimE] Hyuu is being such a troll :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] I feel she's conflicted
[Noirlax] Everything is Man's Romance :joy:
[MartAnimE] he's very intense about his romance :stuck_out_tongue:
[Noirlax] yes :smile:
[MartAnimE] but I wonder if the love potion is gonna run out soon
[Noirlax] I feel like there's a punchline coming :smile:
[MartAnimE] maybe they need to use an antidote for it
[Noirlax] Like jokes on you GamiGami
[MartAnimE] the joke's always on him either way :smile:
[MartAnimE] it might look like he's winning right now, but he's still ridiculous
[Noirlax] yeah but how it's delivered
[MartAnimE] yeah
[MartAnimE] we'll find out next time :smile:
[Noirlax] feel like Mashimo has done a good job dramatising this series but sprinkling it with good humour.
[MartAnimE] did he write or just direct?
[Noirlax] I think he directed this, it has his style in this.
[ShadowBlazer30000] directed and supervised the storyline but didn't write any of the scripts directly
[MartAnimE] yeah I know he directed
[MartAnimE] okies thanks!
[ShadowBlazer30000] well presuming he didn't ghost write any final drafts but yeah his official credits are "Director" and "Series Composition"
[MartAnimE] any more thoughts on this set of episodes?
[Noirlax] It's got a lot more serious to me
[MartAnimE] yeah more conflict between the main three
[Noirlax] yeah
[MartAnimE] and more hinting at romance
[MartAnimE] even though the wiki says Pietro is probably only 10 :sweat_smile:
[MartAnimE] but they can have like kid's romance
[forlornhope] yeah I'm liking the more serious turn even if the drama is a little silly
[ShadowBlazer30000] it seems Narcia  has feelings for Pietro
[Noirlax] yeah me too it's got a nice intensity and intrigue to it
[MartAnimE] I'm shipping Pietro/Narcia
[MartAnimE] sorry Hyuu :stuck_out_tongue:
[MartAnimE] but you can have GamiGami :sweat_smile:
[MartAnimE] as a consolation prize
[forlornhope] lol
[ShadowBlazer30000] I don't know if Hyuu appears in any further PS1 games but she doesn't appear in Return to Popolocrois
[MartAnimE] maybe she goes back to her timeline
[Noirlax] me too Pietro/Narcia
[MartAnimE] or goes off to start her own country
[ShadowBlazer30000] we'll see
[MartAnimE] yeah
[MartAnimE] guess we're done for tonight then
[ShadowBlazer30000] yeah
[Noirlax] thanks for the rewatch
[MartAnimE] alright I'll close the logs here
[MartAnimE] ~ THE END ~

Spoiler: Episode 8 • show

[MartAnimE] Go~! :first_place:
[Noirlax] I'm ready for man's romance!
[forlornhope] go
[Noirlax] Go~! :rose::girl:
[ShadowBlazer3000] go
[Noirlax] That game music
[MartAnimE] I like that dragon scream at the very start :dragon_face:
[Noirlax] oh
[MartAnimE] in the OP
[MartAnimE] it sounds like no other creature, which I appreciate :smile:
[Noirlax] That bit with the sand dunes reminds me of TRC. Good point
[MartAnimE] dragons should sound rather fantastical
[ShadowBlazer3000] compared to the whale sounds the Guardian makes in SIGN
[forlornhope] just realized that there's dragon spikes in pietro's hair
[MartAnimE] yeah his hair is very cute with the spikes
[MartAnimE] that's a massive tank
[Noirlax] badass
[MartAnimE] wasn't expecting legs :smile:
[MartAnimE] it moves like a sumo wrestler
[forlornhope] lol that spring pad
[Noirlax] lol true
[forlornhope] Hyuu needs to stop being a brat :smile:
[forlornhope] not cause so much trouble for everyone
[MartAnimE] and they all fell off their chair
[Noirlax] It's hard for her to get over things, but yeah bratty
[MartAnimE] another song
[forlornhope] oh song time
[MartAnimE] I like the way it's animated
[forlornhope] yeah
[MartAnimE] very elegant
[MartAnimE] rather sad lyrics for a happy sounding song :smile:
[Noirlax] nicely animated sequence
[ShadowBlazer3000] that was kind of random
[MartAnimE] I liked her flying dance
[Noirlax] like the spins
[MartAnimE] he's mumbling his song :sweat_smile:
[MartAnimE] love potion still going strong
[Noirlax] lol yeah
[MartAnimE] lol she's singing it too
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] power couple I guess :sweat_smile:
[MartAnimE] priorities, swimming first!
[forlornhope] lol swimming first
[Noirlax] priorities picnic then blowing up Popolocrois
[MartAnimE] she's probably trying to avoid it
[Noirlax] must be a gentleman :smile:
[forlornhope] lol
[MartAnimE] he's an evil gentleman :sweat_smile:
[MartAnimE] honestly, she's just wearing a normal looking dress, looks no more naked than usual
[Noirlax] maybe it's that sort of world, seeing any skin is bad
[MartAnimE] yeah, old fashioned
[MartAnimE] go Pietro~!
[MartAnimE] kill the tank with your tiny sword :smile:
[Noirlax] They are both juvenile
[MartAnimE] that was close
[MartAnimE] it's the battle of moustache
[MartAnimE] internet hiccups
[MartAnimE] but episode finished now
[Noirlax] lol, I'm starting to think the real evil one is Ston the anime version of a Minion :smile:
[ShadowBlazer3000] finished
[Noirlax] watching the ed
[MartAnimE] yeah the two minions are pretty nasty
[MartAnimE] I'm watching the ED too
[Noirlax] I think the yellow one, the pink one is kinda the accomplice
[MartAnimE] yeah fair enough
[MartAnimE] wonder if we'll see a more threatening villain later
[Noirlax] I wonder
[ShadowBlazer3000] I wouldn't think so but i don't know
[Noirlax] want to call the yellow one Sideshow Blob
[MartAnimE] I feel like they gotta escalate somehow :smile:
[Noirlax] It's Koichi Mashimo something usually escalates :smile:
[MartAnimE] ready for 9?
[ShadowBlazer3000] it just doesn't feel like the kind of show that's going to do anything like that
[MartAnimE] hmm, I just think they need to change the setting a bit, I dunno
[ShadowBlazer3000] so far it's been pretty close to adventure of the week formula with this mini arc in here
[MartAnimE] feel like Hyuu will come around pretty soon
[ShadowBlazer3000] or this arc is going to continue through the end here
[MartAnimE] she's certainly not evil
[MartAnimE] just misguided
[Noirlax] I can see where you're coming from Alex. But I remember an old Mashimo show the Golden Lightan it got pretty intense but that was a kids show. Some major characters died in that one I think.
[ShadowBlazer3000] now Gami Gami is seeking the crown so probably going to be the next phase is how he'll get the crown
[Noirlax] It could get funny with GamiGami as king of the castle
[ShadowBlazer3000] he might even achieve it and the next part of the adventure is Pietro to reclaim it
[MartAnimE] also, I can't stop thinking about the love potion :sweat_smile:
[MartAnimE] I just think that's the sort of thing that's gonna come back in the game when the characters least expect
[MartAnimE] doesn't seem like a detail they'd brush aside
[Noirlax] The potion starts to wear off and he goes crazy over both Hyuu and Narcia :smile:
[ShadowBlazer3000] either they'll rectify it in the anime or they will just brush it aside because it's an anime sandwiched between one or more games
[MartAnimE] in the game does GamiGami like Narcia or Hyuu?
[ShadowBlazer3000] I have no idea if Hyuu appears in any other PS games she doesn't in Story of Seasons and I don't remember if he had the hots for Narcia in that game or not, it's been a while
[MartAnimE] okies, guess we'll see
[MartAnimE] I'm ready for 9 whenever
[Noirlax] If I start building robots calling myself RikiRiki
[Noirlax] ready
[ShadowBlazer3000] ready
[MartAnimE] lol
[MartAnimE] to think he'd become your new role model :smile:
[forlornhope] ready
[Noirlax] lol

Spoiler: Episode 9 • show

[ShadowBlazer3000] go
[Noirlax] go~! :robot:
[MartAnimE] Go~! :second_place:
[forlornhope] go
[Noirlax] I like this OP
[MartAnimE] I noticed Narcia wears blue in some of the scenes in the OP
[MartAnimE] but normally she wears pink
[ShadowBlazer3000] maybe a color error or maybe something more
[MartAnimE] wonder what it means :face_with_monocle:
[Noirlax] she has a second pair of clothes :smile:
[MartAnimE] lol no
[forlornhope] could just be a fun thing in the op only :sweat_smile:
[MartAnimE] anime characters aren't allowed to do that :smile:
[Noirlax] lol
[ShadowBlazer3000] unless you're a CLAMP character they have larger wardrobes
[MartAnimE] some shows do, just in general
[MartAnimE] feel like someone's gonna break into song every time we switch to the evil lair :smile:
[Noirlax] Know it all genius machine :smile:
[forlornhope] lol I wouldn't mind that. songs are my favorite part so far
[ShadowBlazer3000] Crown of Wisdom after he gets the Crown of Courage and Power .. wait wrong franchise
[forlornhope] lol
[MartAnimE] yeah when he said that I thought of Zelda too :smile:
[MartAnimE] not to mention Pietro being a Link lookalike
[forlornhope] let the dandelions die :v
[forlornhope] they were trying to take over my lawn a month ago
[MartAnimE] it's the season
[ShadowBlazer3000] I wonder if PopoLoCrois might have intended to be Sony's answer to Zelda
[forlornhope] oh maybe
[MartAnimE] ambitious :open_mouth:
[Noirlax] She turned to Kai
[MartAnimE] still wish they'd explain that a little more
[Noirlax] Pietrodactl
[MartAnimE] they're gonna have a girls talk!
[Noirlax] lol it's like a poker machine
[MartAnimE] it's a slot machine :sweat_smile:
[forlornhope] lol
[MartAnimE] they should both be able to fly :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] machine's mind blown, maybe the force of the explosion too much
[MartAnimE] ah well, plot demands they get stuck together so they're forced to talk
[MartAnimE] awww doggie :dog:
[forlornhope] lol bad doggy
[MartAnimE] no doggie :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] lol
[forlornhope] oh no dragon pupper
[Noirlax] bad doggie XD
[MartAnimE] there are dinosaurs in the sewers :t_rex:
[ShadowBlazer3000] not good with heights but also can fly
[Noirlax] funny that
[MartAnimE] aww they're finally starting to be friends
[MartAnimE] was really hoping for a scene like this, where they could hang out without Pietro
[forlornhope] lol yeah you could of asked him
[forlornhope] pretty crystals
[MartAnimE] he's still cute though, as a big dinosaur :t_rex:
[ShadowBlazer3000] Dogosauras Rex
[forlornhope] teamwork!
[MartAnimE] and pupper :dog:
[Noirlax] aww back to puppy
[forlornhope] the fortress reminds me of howls moving castle
[MartAnimE] they brought the dog :smile:
[forlornhope] lol but you borrowed pietro's power
[MartAnimE] maybe she's fine using an artifact
[MartAnimE] but not asking for help personally
[MartAnimE] Narcia is being really accommodating :sweat_smile:
[MartAnimE] but it makes sense for her character I think
[Noirlax] I think she's an accomodating person, you have to be to be with the spirit of the forest
[MartAnimE] yeah she's a healer :sunflower:
[MartAnimE] I know they're supposed to be in opposition here, but I actually really like both of them
[MartAnimE] they're the most interesting characters so far, for me
[Noirlax] what makes them interesting for you?
[MartAnimE] happy to have one episode that focused more on them
[MartAnimE] I think they're interesting because they have more complex emotions
[MartAnimE] Narcia wants to do what is best for everyone but she negates her own wishes, which she considers selfish and unbecoming of a forest spirit, also she struggles with jealous feelings about Pietro, even though she wants to genuinely befriend Hyuu
[Noirlax] they do have a wider range, Hyuu especially. Narcia has doubts and fears as well as joy.
[MartAnimE] and Hyuu is just too proud and tsundere, it's not like she's evil but she's ambitious and feels she needs power to achieve her goals. She's also conflicted between being independent and wanting friends
[MartAnimE] I enjoy watching their inner struggle more than say, Gami Gami or the two minions' antics :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] It's more forgivable she's a kid who finds she's the last of her own in the world.
[MartAnimE] Pietro is just a sweet boy, and I love him too, but he's the main character so I think he'll always get enough screentime
[Noirlax] GamiGami and the two characters antics are fun
[Noirlax] I totally get this mad dash of inspiration and comical failure.
[MartAnimE] yeah, it's kinda fun in a childish way, just appreciate them having more serious moments in a kid's show is all
[Noirlax] yeah I think that's what makes it better than the usual kids show
[MartAnimE] yup, brb a sec :cup_with_straw:
[Noirlax] ok
[MartAnimE] back
[MartAnimE] any more thoughts on the episode?
[Noirlax] wb
[ShadowBlazer3000] no
[forlornhope] nope
[MartAnimE] ready for 10
[ShadowBlazer3000] ready
[Noirlax] Know it all machines say no
[Noirlax] ready
[forlornhope] ready

[Noirlax] lol
[forlornhope] lol
[Noirlax] head tilt
[MartAnimE] head tilts are cute :dog:
[Noirlax] Genius is back
[ShadowBlazer3000] think the youngest emperor of China was like 10 or something
[MartAnimE] yeah but usually 10 year old leaders are more figure heads
[Noirlax] well you can have kid emperors and kings but someone kinda makes the decisions on their behalf
[MartAnimE] following their advisors
[MartAnimE] and deciding very little on their own
[ShadowBlazer3000] well if you wanna be all technical about it...
[ShadowBlazer3000] Dulan
[ShadowBlazer3000] Dulan
[ShadowBlazer3000] Dulan
[MartAnimE] lol I'm here to chew bubblegum and overanalyze kid shows :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
[forlornhope] lol
[ElenoreFanGirl] There's usually  a regent either someone related or well trusted
[Noirlax] lol
[ShadowBlazer3000] and I'm all out of kids shows
[Noirlax] lol
[ShadowBlazer3000] Gami Gami is seriously Dr. Eggman
[MartAnimE] yeah gives me those vibes too
[Noirlax] but cheesier
[MartAnimE] aww bai bai :wave:
[MartAnimE] that was cute
[forlornhope] keeps getting interrupted :smile:
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] thought the knight was gonna offer to help carry the apples too :apple:
[Noirlax] he has a love Hyuu towel
[ShadowBlazer3000] not sure if king is awake or he sleeps with his eyes open
[MartAnimE] think he's sleeping
[ShadowBlazer3000] ok never mind the little curvy lines are closed
[MartAnimE] yeah it's just weird, white eyelids
[Noirlax] I love that Pietro/Narcia eyecatch
[ShadowBlazer3000] but he does sleep with the crown on it seems :crown:
[MartAnimE] it's part of his head :smile:
[Noirlax] crane game mode!
[MartAnimE] lol couldn't use his hands
[forlornhope] twenty six secrets :smile:
[Noirlax] lol the way he sleeps
[MartAnimE] lol taped his mouth
[MartAnimE] guess it wasn't attached after all :crown:
[MartAnimE] the knight is like a samurai
[Noirlax] GamiGami pulling faces
[Noirlax] yeah
[MartAnimE] Pietro looking kinda badass here :smile:
[ShadowBlazer3000] Thanks Kai
[ShadowBlazer3000] Kai: You're welcome
[ShadowBlazer3000] Pietro falls into the water
[ShadowBlazer3000] Kai: Oops
[MartAnimE] but when is the mother gonna turn into a dragon :dragon:
[Noirlax] one two one two
[MartAnimE] oh nice trick
[Noirlax] nice trick
[forlornhope] lol
[MartAnimE] but they just have to take it back
[Noirlax] lol look at them celebrating :smile:
[forlornhope] lol what a cliffhanger
[MartAnimE] yeah really
[Noirlax] yeah want to see the next episode
[MartAnimE] well it escalated a little :smile:
[MartAnimE] but really, GamiGami is still only vaguely threatening, he just got the throne cuz everyone's nice enough to indulge him :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] maybe :smile:
[MartAnimE] hope we can get to the next rewatch soon!
[Noirlax] Soon the next MAAN'S ROMAAAAANCE! :smile:
[forlornhope] Next weekend works for me
[MartAnimE] everything's a Man's Romance for him :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] lol yeah
[forlornhope] Lol
[Noirlax] even yuri :smile:
[MartAnimE] no yuri so far, unless you wanna ship Hyuu/Narcia :smile:
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] sorry Pietro :V
[Noirlax] I do like the idea of stealing the crown as a crane game :smile:
[MartAnimE] everything has to involve lots of complex gadgets
[MartAnimE] or it's not worth doing
[Noirlax] lol yeah some people are like that
[Noirlax] they are called engineers :smile:
[MartAnimE] he does remind me of Eggman, as Alex said :robot:
[MartAnimE] found this https://imgur.com/Z8jXjcY
[MartAnimE] very cute :smile:
[forlornhope] Aww
[Noirlax] cute!
[MartAnimE] any last thoughts on this set of episodes?
[Noirlax] nope
[forlornhope] Not really. Thought hyuu would be back to the good guys by now but guess not :sweat_smile:
[MartAnimE] yeah, guess she's gonna milk the effects of that love potion for all it's worth :stuck_out_tongue:
[Noirlax] yup
[MartAnimE] I did really like them focusing more on Hyuu and Narcia and them having to put their differences aside and work together
[Noirlax] yeah that was nice
[forlornhope] Yeah I liked their talk
[MartAnimE] I know they're setting us for a love triangle but I appreciate them developing more of a friendship than simply being rivals for Pietro's affection
[Noirlax] the freedom part and how to get the thing out of the pupper
[MartAnimE] also, liked the higher stakes at the end of episode 10, left us on quite the cliffhanger
[Noirlax] yeah
[MartAnimE] even though I kinda doubt GamiGami can hold onto power for very long :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] lol that's fine with me
[MartAnimE] I pushed it from a 6 to a 7 for now
[forlornhope] Not rating it until the end
[Noirlax] I probably rate it as a 8 for now but I don't score until we get till past half way
[MartAnimE] whatever works
[MartAnimE] think that's about it, no further thoughts on my end ^^
[forlornhope] :thumbsup:
[MartAnimE] closing the log then
[MartAnimE] thank you all for another fun rewatch :smiley:
[Noirlax] thank you
[MartAnimE] ~ THE END ~

[MartAnimE] Go~! :snake:
[ShadowBlazer30000] go
[Noirlax] Go~! :heart::crown:
[forlornhope] go
[MartAnimE] the blue Narcia is special!
[Noirlax] The two Narcias split up from the original
[MartAnimE] she has yet to unlock her final form :open_mouth:
[Noirlax] Narlax
[MartAnimE] lol :madlax:
[forlornhope] lol
[forlornhope] aww holding hands
[MartAnimE] looks menacing
[forlornhope] 2 weeks later :open_mouth:
[MartAnimE] beans
[forlornhope] eat your veggies Pietro :v
[MartAnimE] or you'll never grow taller
[MartAnimE] he's gonna be 10 forever
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] so he traded his castle with Popolocrois castle
[MartAnimE] traded places I mean
[Noirlax] Hyuu is like whatever :smile:
[MartAnimE] she's probably starting to regret this :sweat_smile:
[forlornhope] I thought he just took the top part
[MartAnimE] he's feeling guilty because they're short on food
[Noirlax] aww all his fault
[MartAnimE] but as a child he really should have priority
[MartAnimE] hey they can eat that fish :smile:
[forlornhope] lol the goldfish
[MartAnimE] not the horses :open_mouth:
[forlornhope] if you were a bad person you wouldn't feel bad :v
[Noirlax] that rope I thought he might hang himself for a second :open_mouth:
[MartAnimE] wow too dark
[forlornhope] dont think the show would be that dark
[forlornhope] it is a kids show :smile:
[MartAnimE] they're not gonna go there :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] lol yeah I know
[forlornhope] aww a smol fox
[MartAnimE] noooooo :sob:
[forlornhope] give that baby all the beans :sob:
[MartAnimE] he's gonna eat the bean :fox:
[Noirlax] aww
[MartAnimE] always give food to starving animals
[MartAnimE] they're most likely magical and will reward you
[MartAnimE] especially if you're royalty
[forlornhope] Hmm
[MartAnimE] oh the song
[forlornhope] lol oh no a song
[Noirlax] That boy was your dad
[Noirlax] lol that song
[forlornhope] aww his dad is a good guy
[MartAnimE] yeah farm that land :smile:
[forlornhope] doesn't look like anything would grow but good trying
[MartAnimE] GamiGami is the only one having fun in all this :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] lol he's enjoying his karaoke
[MartAnimE] :cricket:
[forlornhope] lol nobody is there
[MartAnimE] Yoisho!
[MartAnimE] happy song!
[forlornhope] lol all the animals
[MartAnimE] there was a dog
[MartAnimE] gotta screenshot that later
[Noirlax] That's a cute spade Narcia is holding
[forlornhope] aww he gave the fox the bean
[MartAnimE] of course he would :fox:
[forlornhope] lol what
[MartAnimE] damn Hyuu
[MartAnimE] no chill :sweat_smile:
[MartAnimE] I love that still at the end
[forlornhope] what is going on in the preview :smile:
[MartAnimE] looks very amusing :smile:
[Noirlax] yeah it does, I love that cheesy wanted poster :smile:
[MartAnimE] what a sweet episode
[Noirlax] yeah it's more serious and touching.
[forlornhope] yeah so wholesome
[MartAnimE] even though things are looking bad the whole kingdom came together to make things better
[MartAnimE] bad guys got the kingdom but not the people
[Noirlax] Yeah kinda expect a Mashimo anime to have a more serious side. It's kind of funny to see GamiGami having a kingdom but no followers
[MartAnimE] Hyuu wanting to capture Pietro sounds pretty creepy
[Noirlax] I guess she has Girl's ROMAANCE! :smile:
[MartAnimE] oh noes, it's contagious :smile:
[Noirlax] lol
[forlornhope] lol
[MartAnimE] I still don't feel like she's evil, but she's rather selfish
[Noirlax] Yeah full of pride
[forlornhope] yeah what the heck. become friends, no need to make him your servant
[MartAnimE] this is not the way to a boy's heart :smile:
[Noirlax] yeah GamiGami style singing is better for that :smile:
[MartAnimE] I think it's funny that Hyuu is really not that into him but he doesn't notice or doesn't care
[MartAnimE] she has him wrapped around her finger :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] better that than the other way round. :smile:
[MartAnimE] thanks to that love potion :heart:
[MartAnimE] which never runs out
[Noirlax] yeah it's lasted longer than I thought
[MartAnimE] yeah I thought it was gonna be a one episode funny gimmick
[MartAnimE] it took an interesting direction
[MartAnimE] I'm ready for 12 whenever, any more thoughts on 11?
[Noirlax] that was a good episode, serious but still fun. I like how they used the bean story
[ShadowBlazer30000] ready
[Noirlax] just one min
[forlornhope] not really. ready for the next one
[MartAnimE] bean story sounded very fairytale like
[MartAnimE] pretty fitting for this sort of setting
[MartAnimE] brb a sec
[Noirlax] I liked how they turned the fairytale setting into a moral dilemma one.
[Noirlax] ready
[forlornhope] ready
[Noirlax] Marta went on a quest
[MartAnimE] lol
[MartAnimE] sorry, back now
[MartAnimE] ready :dog:
[Noirlax] Lucky GamiGami didn't capture you :smile:
[MartAnimE] ewww :smile:
[Noirlax] actually all the women are kinda badass in this anime
[MartAnimE] yeah
[MartAnimE] I like that they play very active roles in the story
[MartAnimE] they're not just there to be Pietro's love interest
[Noirlax] They actually go and save Pietro's butt most of the time :smile:
[MartAnimE] yeah, he's still a child trying to find his strength
[MartAnimE] but he has the purest heart :heart:
[Noirlax] him and Narcia
[MartAnimE] yeah but I liked how Narcia was struggling with her feelings of jealousy, even though she's such a selfless person otherwise
[MartAnimE] it really humanizes her
[Noirlax] yeah, despite her powers she's just a kid.
[Noirlax] Sorry I'm ready for the next ep

[Noirlax] That does work :smile:
[MartAnimE] didn't think this through
[MartAnimE] now she can't find the real one either XD
[forlornhope] but I bet the ones chirping and making monkey noises can be safely seen through XD
[Noirlax] of course he's mad that you ate his snacks and act as a total ass to him

Spoiler: Episode 13 • show

[ShadowBlazer30000] go
[forlornhope] go
[Noirlax] Go~! :boy:
[MartAnimE] Go~! :sauropod:
[Noirlax] I like these notes at the start
[Noirlax] That reflects my thoughts GamiGami will be an old salaryman in today's setting
[MartAnimE] guess that's what they're going for
[Noirlax] yeah
[MartAnimE] but also a bit of old pervert anime stereotype
[Noirlax] yeah that too
[MartAnimE] creepy robots :robot:
[Noirlax] Ston/Sanda and GamiGami great team
[MartAnimE] Narcia save~!
[MartAnimE] lol he tossed the yellow guy
[Noirlax] they make a great team :smile:
[Noirlax] Pietro captured like a pokemon by Team Rocket
[MartAnimE] Narcia go, follow them! :open_mouth:
[Noirlax] Gliterring Hyuu
[MartAnimE] she dressed up for him
[MartAnimE] :flushed:
[forlornhope] lol hyuu has the real power in this castle
[MartAnimE] she has taken over the kingdom so effortlessly :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] yeah :smile:
[MartAnimE] no Pietro, it's not fine :sweat_smile:
[forlornhope] lol
[MartAnimE] you'll be wearing a dog collar before the show is over :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] lol
[forlornhope] dramatic music
[MartAnimE] if this wasn't a children's show :stuck_out_tongue:
[Noirlax] oh Marta that's more GamiGami's thing :smile:
[MartAnimE] yeah true :smile:
[forlornhope] bribes :smile:
[MartAnimE] nice food
[Noirlax] that robot hand lol
[Noirlax] they are all servants of Hyuu lol
[MartAnimE] you tell her Pietro!
[MartAnimE] don't play her games :stuck_out_tongue:
[Noirlax] Interesting idea Pietro
[MartAnimE] she doesn't see Narcia as an enemy it seems
[Noirlax] GamiGami bar
[MartAnimE] lol getting wasted :tumbler_glass:
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] Hyuu is going full evil :sweat:
[MartAnimE] ah she switched to Kai :smile:
[Noirlax] lol out the window
[forlornhope] they're hopeless :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] lol their colours match
[MartAnimE] Man's Romance countered :sweat_smile:
[MartAnimE] oh no Pietro died
[MartAnimE] nuh he's fine :smile:
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] Pietrodactyl
[forlornhope] lol asking guilda for advice on boys
[MartAnimE] interesting :smile:
[Noirlax] lol but kinda makes sense
[Noirlax] Hyuu's problem will be gone if she asked Guilda or Pietro's mother but that ends the anime :smile:
[MartAnimE] not sure I agree with what they were trying to say about boys/men, but whatever :stuck_out_tongue:
[forlornhope] yeah :stuck_out_tongue:
[MartAnimE] nice to see Pietro standing up to Hyuu, even if he did it in the kindest way possible
[MartAnimE] and nice to see Kai again, she's badass
[Noirlax] I think what they are implying is guys often have a tendency not to ask for help and go it alone.
[MartAnimE] yeah, but Narcia was actually in the right trying to help him
[MartAnimE] shouldn't be discouraged from doing that
[Noirlax] Kai is fun though I'm a Narcia fan.
[MartAnimE] but I feel the witch is just trying to discourage her from taking initiative in a sort of reverse psychology way, to help Narcia become more assertive
[MartAnimE] which seems to be working :smile:
[MartAnimE] I read something interesting about Kai, like Kai is the more assertive/action oriented side of Narcia, that comes out when she's feeling too overwhelmed
[Noirlax] Possibly, Guilda is like also help him out but let him work out most of it and guide him along if he needs help.  Oh
[MartAnimE] I like to see her, but the fact we haven't seen in her in a while probably means Narcia has been getting more confident in herself lately
[Noirlax] Narcia is the more submissive and withdrawn type yeah
[MartAnimE] I like them both, kind of a shame they can't be around at the same time :smile:
[MartAnimE] interesting direction the story is going
[Noirlax] yeah
[Noirlax] it's become more of a personal thing actually
[MartAnimE] still really like Narcia and Hyuu and Pietro the most, as characters
[Noirlax] when I think about it they aren't really going far in terms of travel
[MartAnimE] yeah, the whole kingdom is at stake, but it's really more like Pietro just wants his friend back, and Narcia to an extent, though she's doing it more for Pietro's sake
[ShadowBlazer30000] yah not really an epic long quest type of adventure story
[MartAnimE] Hyuu's gone dark and now we gotta save her from her own ambition :open_mouth:
[Noirlax] I feel like it really is a Mashimo anime somehow by not being so quest like
[Noirlax] yeah save her from her own demons
[MartAnimE] yeah
[MartAnimE] it's rather Mashimo like, while still being kid friendly
[MartAnimE] I feel it's gonna get even more dramatic pretty soon
[MartAnimE] perhaps higher stakes and conflicts
[MartAnimE] we'll see
[MartAnimE] only half way through
[forlornhope] hard to say
[Noirlax] yeah it's kid friendly but more inward looking. I'm sure it be inward looking at least
[forlornhope] would be cool if it ramped up from here at least
[Noirlax] I like if they ramped it up
[MartAnimE] yeah I get the feeling Hyuu hasn't gone full evil yet, she's very conflicted at the moment, she'll probably get more evil before she gets redeemed
[MartAnimE] at least I think that would be interesting :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] yeah not sure how they are going to maneuver the anime from here.
[MartAnimE] I'm excited about it :smile:
[forlornhope] good set of episodes today. looking forward to the rest
[Noirlax] yeah wished I watched this sooner
[MartAnimE] look forward to more :dragon_face:
[Noirlax] More GamiGami fighting Ston and Sanda :smile:
[Noirlax] Two teams of pink and yellow :smile:
[MartAnimE] I'm here for the Narcia/Pietro/Hyuu drama, but can't escape the comic relief :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
[MartAnimE] I dunno if GamiGami, Ston and Sanda will ever be redeemed, they might just bicker about nonsense forever :smile:
[Noirlax] The comic relief is pretty fun for me
[Noirlax] Narcia/Pietro/Hyuu ftw but I enjoy the silly half too
[MartAnimE] I think it balances it out
[ShadowBlazer30000] I liked they repeatedly pushed the cage up and down,  I was hoping they would have stretched the gag a little longer
[Noirlax] haha yeah they could have
[Noirlax] I like the trash rocket gag
