Como os dois episódios anteriores eu amei as mesmas coisas: Todo o design e cenário, e as interações entre Unio e Natsuko. Eu realmente amo quando eles interagem, enquanto acho particularmente o Luke um personagem um pouco chato kkkkkk...

Quando a Destiny aparece, sinceramente, gente, me perdoem... mas eu tive que pausar e respirar fundo pois eu pensei "meu Deus ela vai ser boboca igual a Berry Blossom de acro trip não pfvr não" e acontece que ela é um pouco assim mesmo.... mas ela parece ser divertida!

Teremos um desenvolvimento da Memeru no próximo episódio será? 🤨
Ou ainda teremos um pouco de bobisse??? 🤨🤨

This has been generally enjoyable, but it's one of those shows where you get frustrated because a lot of things could be resolved or prevented if the characters would just talk to each other instead of hiding things and constantly causing misunderstandings.

Natsuko and the nine heroes need to sit down and talk through what she knows, rather than constantly being surprised by things and only having Natsuko mention things 10 seconds before they happen.

They also clearly need to talk through the extent to which Natsuko is effectively a time traveler, changing the future by her actions in the past. While certain key events might still have "flags" that she recognizes, their timing has been changed by her presence. Additionally, at some point the timeline is going to diverge so much her predictions will no longer come true at all, and they need to be aware of that. She does not actually see the future, and if they don't have a conversation where she explains that they're going to continue to get predictions wrong (as in this episode) until something really goes wrong.

Is Memmeln another reincarnate trying to reframe the story back to the original events or is she a villain that Natsuko doesn't remember?

That Destiny chick is a cutie with a skimpy outfit (I guess the skimpy outfits run in the family lol).

Regarding the change in the storyline, it makes sense that things are no longer occurring as they happened in the movie since Natsuko changed events such as having Unio survive. On that note I'm suspicious of the green haired elf girl, I wonder what she's up to...

Again, a bit of a reiteration from my posts about this from an earlier episode; but I just love this anime. I can't get enough of it. First thing I'm excited about on Sundays.

Yeah, is it over the top a lot of the time, and silly? Yeah. But there's so much charm in it. Tons of tropey, "Wink wink, you get what we did there, right?" but also, despite the silliness, there's a whole lot of grounded metaphors mixed in, too.

I'm still surprised this isn't more of a hit with most people than it is.

It might be elf season in full effect... But everyone here is certain there's something fishy about the elf character.

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

At this rate we're probably going to see some plot twists on the next episode. From PV2 you can tell that the old witch is probably an evil figure, elf also looks sus and dies in a later event and apparently Natsuko knows that already. However the storyline now deviates from the original and Natsuko gets caught off-guard when a late story event happens much earlier.

Also the best of this episode:

Bro, the problem is NOT that they just recycle the transformation animation but that they abuse it to waste time ._.

It appears in the opening and there are already 3 episodes in a row placing it...

I guess it makes sense being an anime about an animator xddd
@LuisSV23 I mean, it's her "Magical Girl Transformation".

I expect it to be in every episode tbh.

Even if it's not the most creative anime plot-wise (what am I asking for, it's an isekai), it's good to watch an anime with this level of animation.

@WGSXFrank I hope they have an abridged version of the transformation. Don't get me wrong, it looks very good but it's being overused. I think they should save the full transformation for big fights.

I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to believe Natsuko's timeline anymore considering history has been rewritten and ultimately altering the course of attacks. She looked really cute in her purple dress.

Elf girl is indeed acting sus. She didn't get to finish talking, but Natsuko knows something is up. It doesn't help that she's taking a lesser role now that Natsuko is present.

Feline Mask Wrestler was badass, I love how everyone was cheering for him. Fun stuff! <3

I don't think Luke likes Density anymore after Denisty walked into the room he kind of looked away. I think (and hope) Luke is falling in love with Natsuko.

I'm loooving this anime so far! I wish people didn't hate on it so much.

The elements of this being an anime about animators: also the fact that Natsuko said "its nice being away from the deadlines and being able to relax" is something animators must long for a lot.
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"

This episode has the theme of the festival, so the events from the movie are being altered, to the point where Natsuko herself didn’t know about this attack. They used the same scene with her doing the summoning again 😂😂. The ending is strange, and it seems like the elf is hiding something.

Memmeln was rather suspicious in this episode. I wonder what she will do as the story progresses. And Destiny, there are times when you should ditch the clothes.

Right now I'm thinking that Menmeru is envolved with some kind of betrayal plot and probably the events of this timeline will start to diverge from the original timeline from the movie.
I also hope they make some variations of the transformation scene, I always thought those type of scenes get boring after the third or fourth time.

Maybe Natsuko can draw inspiration from Destiny and Luke's relationship to make a proper love story. I also like the banter between Natsuko and Unio. This time Natsuko was able to summon Wrestle Cat from her drawings to take out the void monster and the fight was well animated. I can't help but feel that Memmeln might have something to do with the recent void attack that got too close to the city center. It's possible that she used a spell to to disguise the void monster as the priest to infiltrate the city and she was absent from the fight which is not normal. Too bad Luke was too drunk to notice it.

Another wonderful and colourful episode.

Natsuko is a real deal for tackling every threats.

Maybe the transformation animation get abit changed I guess.

Destiny is another wonderful addition to the crew.

I am pretty sure now after several "interference", the movie Natsuko watched "several" times has changed the storylines. But that make her power even more important, because she can "create" anything that would help out the situations.

A (or dare I say more than one) step down from the first two episodes in many aspects.
I still liked it but it's going to get boring fast if they continue using the same formula for every episode.

with a drop of logic from Natsuko, the dumb bich of the trash isekai turns into a memorable and interesting character (probably). She is rewriting in more ways than she realizes!

tiger mask was fun bit reminded me of tekken 3 king.
like someone said above, the formula is starting to get repetitive.
Chairman and his 8 wives were funny.
It was sweet how natsuko thinks destiny will make luke smile from bottom of his heart while she keeps missing him smiling when he is with her instead

The transformation thing is called a "BANK sakuga". This is pretty common in shows which have the same thing transforming every episode. Some other examples are Gurren Lagann,Kill La Kill

Really digging this series more and more, the addition of Destiny to the mix is definitely interesting.

I think Natsuko has feelings for Luke and adding Destiny will make for some fun interactions. Although she seems to kind of like Destiny as well even though she says Destiny is the root of all their problems. Either way I am eager to see the next episode.

Production on this anime is so good IMO.

Also, really curious about what's going on with Memmeln.

I guess I'm in the minority here. I was not a fan of this episode. The characters seem uninteresting, the plot is formulaic, it has a similar structure to last episodes, and the comedic moments are not landing for me for the most part. I mean, a dancing test was used to decipher who was the real void?? That's just boring, unimaginative and not funny. The only redeeming quality is the mystery behind the elf girl. I must also add that this is coming from someone who thoroughly enjoyed the first episode. The second one was ok.

Yea this anime is not for me. Very 7/10 but I'm not really feeling it. Ok music. Characters so far are really unlikable. Plot might lead to more but who knows. Nothing special apart from the 1 min super detailed pretty animation. I'll hold on until it's finished and hopefully see some twists at some point

This episode seemed very short to me, even though it was of normal duration, because it was very engrossing. I'm also very sure that Memmeln is a traitor.

WTF! Is one of the elves working with the Void? One of those hooded people who helped the Void had a gem on their choker. I hope it’s not Memmln, cause she’s acting really shady after the incident. She also missed the whole encounter with the Void. I know when had her choir stuff, but when the enemy shows up you drop everything to get rid of them.

it's alright, still don't really care about any of the characters and not much plot to carry this along. I know it's supposed to take place in a kind of shit anime movie but I find most of the cast is pretty annoying and the comedy doesn't land, If it keeps being this standard monster of the week show it'll be disappointing

A supposed master storyteller like Natsuko should have been fully aware that it would be impossible to alter two main events without affecting the rest of the story. And yet the premature show up of that disguised Void came as a complete surprise to her, which was disappointing. Forget storytelling, common sense alone explains that... By the way, the Elf is a traitor; I wonder why.

@stealthyone It was 100% Memmeln who transformed that Void into a priest clone. And the other two Elves who talked with her are in on it. The choir stuff was a lame alibi. So Memmein is a traitor; the question is why..
