[11:42]MartAnimE: ah ending
[11:42]Noirlax: This cake is going from sponge cake with cream to bavarian chocolate. yeah ending
[11:42]BiitoreinGoji: Camus said the sky was darkening
[11:42]MartAnimE: it sure is
[11:42]BiitoreinGoji: like it's gonna rain :margaret:
[11:43]MartAnimE: lol
[11:43]Noirlax: Camus is kinda the boy Margaret 😄
[11:43]MartAnimE: yeah, he's the male version 😄
[11:43]Noirlax: That preview 😮
[11:44]MartAnimE: indeed 😮
[11:44]BiitoreinGoji: Except Margaret doesn't have flower abilities
[11:44]MartAnimE: but she has that flower connection too 🌻
[11:45]BiitoreinGoji: With just Helianthus
[11:45]BiitoreinGoji: Camus is connected to flowers in general
[11:45]Noirlax: Camus is more flowery
[11:45]MartAnimE: yeah
[11:46]MartAnimE: we're a bit behind schedule for 3 episodes so should try to start episode 12 soon
[11:46]MartAnimE: any more thoughts?
[11:47]Noirlax: I'm good, nice bonding in this ep and the plot is moving along
[11:47]BiitoreinGoji: It's a good start
[11:47]MartAnimE: yeah all the boys are very sweet and caring
[11:47]Noirlax: any thoughts Brooke?
[11:48]ForlornHope: not really. ready for the next ep tho 🐶

[11:51]BiitoreinGoji: creepy organ
[11:51]MartAnimE: it's fitting
[11:52]Noirlax: well played
[11:53]BiitoreinGoji: The animation looks kinda different.
[11:54]BiitoreinGoji: Perhaps most of the work went into the last episodes.
[11:55]MartAnimE: Daniel you two timing little shit 😄
[11:55]Noirlax: lol
[11:55]MartAnimE: lol well done
[11:56]MartAnimE: omg girls
[11:56]Noirlax: lol
[11:57]Noirlax: We are all going :v
[11:58]MartAnimE: they're all going in that tiny carriage
[11:58]MartAnimE: and Camus can sit on someone's lap
[11:58]Noirlax: lol
[11:59]MartAnimE: aww it's bigger than I thought
[12:00]MartAnimE: they know Beruze is behind this
[12:03]BiitoreinGoji: A convenient tunnel
[12:03]MartAnimE: yeah escape tunnels are pretty standard for royalty
[12:03]MartAnimE:
https://tenor.com/view/revolution-guillotine-marie-antoinette-off-with-their-heads-behead-gif-12604431[12:04]MartAnimE: when you hear the guillotines coming 😄
[12:04]Noirlax: oh this is about being in an "alliance" instead of being a vassal cough cough
[12:04]MartAnimE: lol yeah
[12:06]MartAnimE: don't bring a gun to a sword duel 😮
[12:06]Noirlax: lol
[12:07]MartAnimE: "I cannot hurt you"
[12:08]MartAnimE: didn't you just cut his arm? 😅
[12:08]Noirlax: 😄
[12:08]MartAnimE: but I guess he meant he won't kill him
[12:08]MartAnimE: which is fair
[12:08]Noirlax: Isaac is kinda soft too
[12:09]MartAnimE: yeah
[12:09]MartAnimE: stupid Beruze has a gun of course
[12:09]MartAnimE: oh what an entrance 😮
[12:09]BiitoreinGoji: O_O
[12:10]ForlornHope: the headmaster 😮
[12:10]Noirlax: lol
[12:10]MartAnimE: you can't shoot all of us Beruze, that gun has only 6 bullets!
[12:11]Noirlax: 😄
[12:11]ForlornHope: lol
[12:11]MartAnimE: nice ending 😄
[12:11]MartAnimE: how exciting
[12:11]Noirlax: yeah
[12:11]BiitoreinGoji: What a grand entrance!!!
[12:11]MartAnimE: looking forward to last episode
[12:11]Noirlax: Kirika can kill 60 people with 6 bullets but this is Beruze
[12:11]MartAnimE: lol yeah
[12:11]MartAnimE: he's too noob for that 😜
[12:12]Noirlax: But the political intrigue has me interested, Isaac works for the Brits right so this is dastardly plan is from the 🇬🇧 then right?
[12:12]BiitoreinGoji: Hope
[12:13]MartAnimE: maybe but I think his main motivation is something to do with his sister
[12:13]Noirlax: Or is he a brit working with another power? 😮
[12:13]MartAnimE: she might have been used to blackmail him
[12:14]Noirlax: yeah
[12:14]MartAnimE: I dunno how loyal Isaac is to his country, I imagine not particularly 😄
[12:14]MartAnimE: he's not like the other boys
[12:15]MartAnimE: whom he mocks for being naïve
[12:15]Noirlax: Maybe it's da N_ZIs that wanted Kuchen. 😮
[12:15]Noirlax: Well Isaac is not a boy 😄
[12:15]MartAnimE: lol you don't have to censor the word Nazis, this isn't youtube
[12:15]Noirlax: lol
[12:16]BiitoreinGoji: If I remember well, did Orphe spare Beruze last season?
[12:16]Noirlax: can't remember
[12:16]MartAnimE: they spared him yeah, but I thought he was in jail
[12:16]BiitoreinGoji: He got away
[12:17]MartAnimE: for conspiracy and treason and attempted murder or something
[12:17]MartAnimE: he's sneaky 🕵️
[12:17]Noirlax: sneak sneak
[12:17]BiitoreinGoji: You might say Orphe's character flaw is being indecisive.
[12:18]BiitoreinGoji: He defeated Beruze and Isaac into submission, but didn't finish them off.
[12:18]MartAnimE: I dunno if I'd call him indecisive
[12:18]Noirlax: I think his flaw according to Isaac is merciful
[12:19]MartAnimE: he's merciful and also he's still young and learning, so it's normal to change his position after learning more
[12:19]Noirlax: but in a way Isaac is sentimental too, he couldn't shoot Orphe either.
[12:19]Noirlax: The boy is too cute to shoot!
[12:19]MartAnimE: yeah he wanted Orphe to kill him because deep down he feels bad about what he's done and he probably feels like he deserves to be punished for his crimes
[12:20]Noirlax: I dunno about punished just couldn't shoot innocent young boys who shouldn't be involved for me
[12:21]MartAnimE: yeah he has a soft spot for those boys
[12:21]Noirlax: He does
[12:21]MartAnimE: also he has a huge big brother complex 😄
[12:21]MartAnimE: he wants to protecc
[12:21]Noirlax: Yup 😄
[12:22]Noirlax: Man boy love but not the dirty kind XD
[12:22]MartAnimE: only in the doujins XD
[12:22]Noirlax: lol
[12:23]BiitoreinGoji: Perhaps not indecisive as in foolish, but more so being merciful for the sake of past friendship.
[12:23]BiitoreinGoji: If that makes some sense.
[12:24]Noirlax: A lack of ruthlessness and sentimentality in dangerous situations is seen as a weakness for some.
[12:24]MartAnimE: I think that's just his character, he believes in justice but not violence
[12:24]BiitoreinGoji: Yeah that's it
[12:24]MartAnimE: I can see how Isaac would find that a weakness, being a former soldier
[12:25]BiitoreinGoji: Well I'm ready for the last episode
[12:25]Noirlax: Kill or be killed :v
[12:25]Noirlax: I'm ready too
[12:25]MartAnimE: yeah I'm ready too
[12:25]BiitoreinGoji: @ForlornHope
[12:26]ForlornHope: ready
[12:26]Noirlax: The last bishie lovefest
[12:26]MartAnimE: who will become the OTP 😮
[12:27]Noirlax: OTP?

[12:29]ForlornHope: froze
[12:29]MartAnimE: my file stopped
[12:30]Noirlax: yeah that file only regains after like a min
[12:30]MartAnimE: I think it's working around 2 minutes for me
[12:30]Noirlax: yeah same
[12:30]ForlornHope: yeah, same
[12:30]MartAnimE: alright should we continue?
12:31]Noirlax: yup
[12:31]ForlornHope: that bittorent file wouldn't 100% complete so that's probably why
[12:31]Noirlax: yeah
[12:31]ForlornHope: should be ok
[12:31]MartAnimE: yeah it's a shame
[12:31]MartAnimE: oh well
[12:31]Noirlax: ok go restart

[12:31]ForlornHope: *go
[12:32]BiitoreinGoji: go
[12:32]MartAnimE: Go~! :orpherus:
[12:35]Noirlax: nice BGs
[12:37]BiitoreinGoji: here we go
[12:38]MartAnimE: hey don't shoot Camus 🔫
[12:38]MartAnimE: don't shoot Ed either 😮
[12:40]MartAnimE: really trying to get under Orphe's skin
[12:42]MartAnimE: oh wow
[12:42]MartAnimE: the music
[12:42]Noirlax: wow he worked in that
[12:42]MartAnimE: and explosions 🔥
[12:42]Noirlax: nice music
[12:43]MartAnimE: aww he hugged him
[12:44]MartAnimE: wow drama
[12:44]Noirlax: dramatic scene
[12:44]MartAnimE: and this scene from the OP
[12:44]ForlornHope: think I'm a couple minutes behind
[12:47]ForlornHope: alls well that ends well I guess. seems like everything turned out well
[12:48]MartAnimE: we didn't actually see Beruze die
[12:48]MartAnimE: oh he lived, he's going with his brother
[12:48]MartAnimE: Camus/Elmunt confirmed 😄
[12:48]ForlornHope: lol
[12:49]ForlornHope: main character girl
[12:49]MartAnimE: yeah she was so pointless
[12:49]MartAnimE: but has a big role in the games and manga I guess
[12:49]Noirlax: main character girl is there to remind the girls you too can be a student of this academy to hang with all the cute boys.
[12:50]ForlornHope: fun cameo I guess
[12:50]MartAnimE: you too can join this school just not become a Strahl candidate 😅
[12:50]Noirlax: Just admire the brilliant glory of the handsome boys!
[12:51]MartAnimE: and you can't even date them cuz they're all gay 😆
[12:51]Noirlax: lol
[12:51]ForlornHope: lol nice eye candy at least
[12:51]MartAnimE: lol true
[12:51]ForlornHope: dramatic cliff ending
[12:52]Noirlax: yeah and then the cakes
[12:52]MartAnimE: not a bad ending
[12:52]MartAnimE: kinda mild but I think they did pretty good with a dating sim source material
[12:52]ForlornHope: yeah
[12:53]Noirlax: This really is a Bee Train anime, the world is whirling around them but ultimately it's about your internal spiritual and emotional struggles. I'm glad they resolved the ending without dramatic shooting and violence.
[12:54]MartAnimE: would have been easy to go for a bishounen yaoi anime but they stayed pretty grounded and added some political intrigue, which is very ambitious
[12:54]BiitoreinGoji: Now I can say I've seen all of Meine Liebe
[12:54]MartAnimE: yeah don't think lots of killing would have matched the tone
[12:54]Noirlax: Well handled and unique imo this anime
[12:54]BiitoreinGoji: Man, that last episode.
[12:54]Noirlax: I love that dramatic fire and BG
[12:54]BiitoreinGoji: Good music.
[12:55]BiitoreinGoji: Who knew Beruze would die by fire willingly
[12:55]MartAnimE: I was actually pretty touched when the brother held Beruze, said he wouldn't abandon him again, was prepared to die with him
[12:55]Noirlax: And to handle the conflict of Beruze by talking. I was touched by that too.
[12:56]MartAnimE: think even Beruze turned at that point, the way he dropped his gun
[12:56]MartAnimE: lots of wholesome feelings in this show
[12:57]MartAnimE: and powerful emotional bonds between men, which is rare to see
[12:57]Noirlax: I think that is what I really like about this anime actually
[12:57]MartAnimE: in any medium
[12:57]Noirlax: stands out to me cause it's rare
[12:57]MartAnimE: yeah
[12:57]Noirlax: Feel like this one is a hidden gem to me
[12:58]MartAnimE: and it's interesting that Bee Train has a lot more experience with female characters, but they made this work
[12:58]MartAnimE: felt genuine
[12:58]BiitoreinGoji: Altena fell into molten lava, Friday got shot and incinerated, but Beruze cast himself into the fire.
[12:58]MartAnimE: the characters have enough depth that they're not just dating sim archetypes
[12:58]Noirlax: I think BT is good with intimacy and personal moments doesn't matter if it's girls or boys.
[12:59]MartAnimE: yeah, that sounds right
[12:59]BiitoreinGoji: Who knew you can make a political anime out of a dating simulator for the GBA.
[13:00]MartAnimE: finishing makes me a little sad that Bee Train is gone, makes me think about all the animes they could have done
[13:01]MartAnimE: there was potential to tell many more unique stories
[13:02]MartAnimE: I guess, at the same time, makes me value the few works they did a lot more, probably
[13:03]MartAnimE: any more thoughts? should we close the log?
[13:03]BiitoreinGoji: It must have been a good experience for aspiring animators to work there
[13:03]Noirlax: Yeah quite interesting way to handle the material. Yeah I'm sad they didn't do more. Sorry I'm going to lunch so no more from me.
[13:03]BiitoreinGoji: must have been very friendly
[13:03]MartAnimE: that's ok
[13:04]MartAnimE: thanks everyone for joining and sharing your love for Bee Train and pretty boys!
[13:04]MartAnimE: :camus: :eduard: :ludwig: :naoji: :orpherus: :sir_isaac:
[13:09]ForlornHope: Thanks for the rewatch. It was fun watching a BT anime that I wasn't familiar with. Really enjoyed it
[13:28]Noirlax: Thanks everyone!
[13:28]Noirlax: --- THE END ---
