| She's playing a little too much Yakuza lol |
 |
| So it seems like this show is going to consistently take pretty dark themes and twist them into jokes, which considering it’s written by the Haganai author, isn’t that surprising. This week we get Livia taken in by a cult which was definitely an experience. Livia may have got out of it thanks to her magical abilities, but people irl aren’t as lucky. These groups prey on the vulnerable and then brainwash them. Like I can’t believe that dude stabbed himself! It’s a good thing Livia has her same abilities and was able to heal him, but that opened another can of worms because now they think she’s their saviour 😂. If she’s got all her abilities from the old world though, she should be good going forward. Seems like Sara will be going to school starting next episode too?? |

| That 3D animation was hilarious, gave me some Bocchi vibes at first. |
| Pretend there's something flashy and cool here. |
| Well that sure was something. What a shitty con cult. |

| Let's promote that good homeless life! Livia is the best at it 😂 |
Reply to Moppit
@CrazyButNot4U @Dawnlit So your both saying if a anime is going to show cults and people being homeless. They should be more authentic about it?
| @Moppit I guess more authentic is a way of putting it. It's not that I think every harsh situation should be treated with no humor at all, but this thing just dismisses the harshness completely. There is no hint of the existential dread in either of those life situations (or any of the others, like sex workers or people in failing marriages). Like, the main homeless guy turned out to just be homeless because he chose to, or whatever, and none of them are shown to actually suffer or be discriminated against or anything. The story just uses the aesthetics of homelessness for the sake of lighthearted comedy. The same with the cult. We are talking about a brain-washing bleed-them-dry-and-use-them-for-slave-labor kind of cult, bad enough for a desperate person whose life was ruined to try and take his life to prove a point. And it was played for laughs. Like it was no big deal. Like, the cultists are not there because of repeated mental abuse and tragedy in their lives, but just because someone, lol, put subliminal messages in videos, haha, isn't that silly. And given her distinct character design, the cult leader is pretty much guaranteed to be a returning character, and I have a feeling this shit-show is going to try and turn her into a sympathetic character, and, like, yuck. No thanks. I guess my problem is that none of the situations are too over the top, so it's not like the silliness of Konosuba, which contains jokes about pretty much the same things, but at the same time it lacks the courage and insight to actually touch on the difficulties of people failed by society, and makes light of their pain, making it feel like what you are supposed to laugh at is their life situations, themselves. It feels like a tour of the unfortunate peoples of modern society but as a lighthearted romp. It feels voyeuristic, gentrifying, and lacking in empathy for other people's suffering, or just lacking in basic humanity. It feels like how a rich sociopath thinks of poor people. So, in other words, pretty gross. Sorry about the rant, but I hope this makes my feelings clear. |
| Did they seriously put Ode Of Joy in this episode. I was laughing so hard lol |
 |
| Will this whole anime be about showing Livia-san the worst of our human world? Or making herself miserable...didn't like it, neither the way the topic was treated nor the episode itself, didn't laugh at all, and that's difficult, I've seen terrible anime. |

| I'm really enjoying how funny this anime is. Losing it over the post-credits scene. |

Disgusting bug eating. I guess it shows how starved the homeless in this world are.
| @TemporalUsername Eating bugs is actually a thing in japan. If you go to a japanese grocery store you'll find shelves with dried crickets and stuff. |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| Had to enjoy a full episode about our fap worthy Livia san XD |
| This was my favorite episode so far. Good job team. |
| The problem isn't the story, the more lighthearted it is, the better, people virtue signalling even on fucking MAL are weird as hell. The problem is that Livia is the most boring character archetype imaginable, and every moment wasted on her is an insult to Sara, who's actually entertaining to watch. |
| I like Livia a lot, but because of my filthy brain I can't help but think in any moment someone will try to do something BAD to her :s btw I'm sad, we only got to see Sara for like 10 seconds :c |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |

chill its just a damn anime dont think too hard abt this lmaoooo
| @dxtremecaliber I was under the impression this was the place for sharing our opinions, so I did. Then someone asked for clarification, and I gave it. This is not me thinking hard. This is me trying to put words to why watching this anime made me feel the way I did. If you don't want to think about the media you consume, that's your choice. I am not making you do anything. But if you go to a forum thread that exists solely for sharing opinions, and then complain about someone else having an opinion, well, I don't know what to tell you. If you can't handle something without rejecting it, I think it would be good for you to either learn to deal with it, or to live in a way where you don't get exposed to it. Best wishes, and all that. |

| @TemporalUsername Have you ever tried eating bugs? They genuinely taste good. Notes: "Insect meat is rich in amino acids, fats, sugars, and has a high concentration of vitamins B and K" - expert from the Department of Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology, University of Lodz. According to the FAO (United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization) estimates, every day about one third of the Earth's population, or more than 2 billion people, eat insects. |

| @Orenjion Just because most of the worlds pop eats bugs,don't mean they enjoy them :) Hell,a lot of people seem to enjoy touting about being vegans,doesn't mean they enjoy vegetables :),just means they eat them ;) I wonder if someone has thought about genetically modifying plants into more capable plants,like Triffids,then salad bowls would be on a WHOLE other level :) And no,I don't think eating most insects is disgusting,esp covered in chocolate! Wasps on the other hand :) I detest those banded hooligans! |

| The homeless Livia is back to whence she belongs without Suzuki, and grasshoppers she is forced to eat, while consuming with other homeless people. But while Sosuke sees her doing fine, two individuals of Aoki and Saito come to talk to Livia aout their clan, the World's Hill Branch Clan. Of course, being an otherworldly person, Livia doesn't know much about cults and the like, and Sosuke was interrogated by members of the same clan talking through subliminal human stimulation, which Sara is unaware of. Livia being taken for a ride within the cult and shown its "promotional" materials, as well as its "magic" where one member just acts against its founder and accusing her of "stealing" his entire family away from him before, she still thinks that it's the cult's entertainment, not knowing that what's happening before her is reality. And Livia, seeing no choice, does the healing process, and is seen as the clan's saviour. But then again, Livia has always lived for Sara, so this experience is also one-of-a-kind for her. In a month, Livia has lived more than what we can tell her lols. |
 |
| Rather random stuff, I didn't like this episode as much, hope the focus would return to Princess and detective... Livia should just find an athletic job since she's so good at this. |
  |
| Is this really a reverse isekai? Reminds me of some kind of bizarre satire on the realities of modern life in Japan. And at the same time, some kind of comedy from the 00s for some reason. |
 |
| I don't know where this show is going. But i'm laughing a lot with it. |
 |
| I hate how every show has to shove in yuri elements. Never really hated or liked yuri, but this trend has made me hate it with a passion. Anyway, the main duo is far more entertaining to watch. Thankfully it seems next ep the focus will shift back on them |

| @Animillion I'm obviously joking but I had to mention that netoge XD |
| I think Livia should use her good physical ability to become a basket player or something. Glad she didn't follow that cult though. |
 |
| Hahah, 3D video of fanatics was hilarious. Girl gets hit by a car and when she wakes up she's already wearing the clan logo shirt :D |
| Livia eating an assortment of grasshopper tempura is wild, the lengths they go through to get the right amount of nutrients as a homeless person... Livia joins a pyramid scheme religious group that go door to door selling fake religious props. Livia watching the religious group brainwashing video and not being phased is hilarious. The group getting a shock when someone threatened the female leader wasn't what I was expecting though. Livia is not phased by the guy stabbing himself at all.  |
| Is Vivia coping rn? She resorted to eating grasshoppers, but where did she get the flour from? Why do they keep saying clan? The video was super weird and annoying. I'm glad Vivia could see the subliminal messaging but then saved the guy and became the savior. She's a gd mess The other homeless people were super excited about the tempura grasshoppers and the people from the clan were turned off by it lol |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| Nice to see Livia having fun. I thought the "master" was another isekai'd resident of Sara's country but turns out she's an actual fraud lmao. |
