(episode comment) the unaware atelier master episode 1

So... new anime, huh? But I just realized that I was a week too late to start since I saw that there were already two episodes posted. Yikes! But hey, at least I started.

I... don't have much to say about the start. Except... Is Kurt really that unaware and very naive about his own abilities? I mean, it also looked like he was naive about almost everything in life. Not sure what to make of that first realization on the first half of the first episode. But the people around her began to take notice. And yes, it could lead to something dangerous if he wasn't careful.

So this was the typical "got kicked out of a team/party and eventually realizing I'm much more powerful than my previous teammates" kind of story. But according to what I've read in Wiki, Kurt's excessive abilities doesn't extend to anything related to combat. I wonder why, though. And especially the village where he came from where he and everyone there does things that were obviously considered abnormal to many people. What kind of people were they, anyway?

Not many things to say here other than the fact that it was a good start.

【episode comment】i left my a-rank party to help my former students reach the dungeon depths episode 12

Now that is a little bit intense for an episode. But even when I was reading the web novel, I felt the same way. So no surprise there. But at least we're progressing here, especially when Niberune (this was how it was spelled in the anime while in the web novel, it was spelled Nibelung) woke up and glowed like that. I forgot who the voice was, even when I knew I read the web novel. So I'll not worry myself about that in the meantime. The answer will come as I continue watching, anyway.

Cutting a human doesn't really feel right regardless of the reason. And in two episodes already, Marina was feeling it. Not that I would know what that feels, though. To be honest, when I first read this, it bothered me. But this was the clear issue about the dungeon that I clearly remember from reading this part in the web novel. The issues that Silk and Rain mentioned didn't stay in my mind, for some reason. But I didn't think that twilight seemed to have some effect on those who would encounter it in a dungeon as mysterious as that shown in Glad Shi-im and even in Achromatic Darkness. Crazy, huh?

And now, the culling had began. Now Yuke has a bigger duty to fulfill on this one. Him, a hero? That's something that he wouldn't usually accept, obviously. In this case, though, he doesn't have much of a choice. He was chosen for the role by someone who knew about the Twilight City. Of course, I don't remember how this arc would end, to be honest. Now let's see what exactly will happen as this goes on.

By the way, I only noticed it when I watched the opening credits in full. But they actually included Jamie in the party. I did know that she would be joining, but unsure at which point she would. But I knew it's within this arc. I haven't read that point in the web novel, by the way, as I stopped for some reason I can't remember now. But this is better for now since I would be able to watch this second arc of the anime with no knowledge from the original material. I know I'd still read the web novel, but maybe not at the moment. So you could say that I'd be able to watch this in a blank slate — if that was even the right term for that.

【episode comment】no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 6

April Fool's Day... But this one isn't a prank. Or at least, it was just a game for Tokonatsu since he decided to side with the No-One after getting fired as a Prime Minister. Kind of crazy how things turned out here, you know.

I love the interaction between Hoeru and Ryugi on the first part. Especially when Ryugi was making Hoeru walk while he was holding the back of his clothes. For some reason, a lot of people say that they wanted this one to be a running gag of the show. I mean, I do agree on that one since Hoeru looked like a runaway puppy. As Sumino already pointed out. 😂😂

So one thing is sure now. That woman who said things to Hoeru about not making wishes was not his mother. But someone who was with him in the homeworld of No-One together with his brother. This must have hurt him to some extent, especially after returning home, only to see that your family moved on without you. Then again, I can't blame the parents on this one, as well. Ten years is way too long. Hoeru must have wished and wished, only for his wishes to remain ungranted. I really don't know what to think with this backstory, though. At least, in the end of this crazy shenanigans, Tokonatsu got his wish to have a friend whom he considered as his equal. But Hoeru would definitely have second thoughts about having a friend as hyperactive as this guy, though.

But this episode showed something about one common theme among the ring warriors that appeared so far — at least those with longer interaction with the Gozyugers. Loneliness. Though I have to question Rikuo's take on this one, by the way. Maybe next week's episode will show something about that.

So another Bridan general appeared to attack everyone. And Fire Candle seems to have taken a sort of rivalry with Hoeru while Bouquet... was just busy fangirling. Can't blame her on that one. 😂 First appearance of Tega Sword Black. The last part was definitely surprising since this is the first time that any of the Sentai Giants (as I'd like to call it) appeared. There is a possibility that the Gozyugers were not even aware of their existence. But does it have to appear with a cape, by the way? Just something I thought was a bit fascinating.
