| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh, I can't help but grin a little at the monster girls' disguises this episode. There was some misunderstanding when they were tailing Quetzalcoatl during her date. Still pretty interesting to see the social lives of these characters. The show returned to its usual SOL style storytelling. Glad to see the kids return and Minami as well. Minami is quite an unique character imo being that she is an angel yet possesses many human characteristics. |

| The day trough the eyes of different characters which was nice to see. Cat people are popular it seems seeing the dates that is that Tama and the cat girl didn't seem to be a romantic relationship. It was funny to see them walk with their arms tied tho, and the misunderstanding of Himeno was also funny. |
| Everyone, and I mean everyone, was spying on that date err dates! XD Ah yes, what IS art? |

| The girls look amusing in their disguises. They were following Quetzalcoatl during her date and so were some government people, and it was a lot of them. There was a Star Wars reference. "Interstellar Wars" lol It was funny when everyone thought Quetzalcoatl and her date was going to a love hotel. Manami's father works really hard on his paintings. |
 |
| This episode is very ugly. |
| wasn't expecting 2 dates i assumed they would focus on quetz (why do I keep forgetting her name) and completely ignore the presidents date. not going to lie a part of me wanted to see just exactly what they would do if quetz and her date had gone to the hotel. the second date (still not sure if that was an actual date) focused too much on what is art and that is a good question. the government agents spying thing is starting to get either really pointless and stupid or annoying and creepy. although I have to say I laughed a little when they didn't know that hime and the others were in disguise so they assumed that they were terrorists. it's moments like this that make the government look really paranoid about the smallest things rather than trying to gather info or protect quetz (I'm starting to hate myself for forgetting her name), but at the same time it kind of makes sense seeing as how they live in a time where anything can be considered offensive or disrespectful (that and all the history they have shown us which I love btw has shown us that being different means war). |
| I know this by now but it's still ridiculous how they are getting spied at from different organizations, they showed it explicitly here. Really fucked but we know by now why they do this. Inchou and her dad again, really like that they went back to this. She really cares for her father, it's great to see. He can't make money since he only resorts to painting real life situations basically, not doing abstract work which sells. But he loves doing it. |
| So they're adding more "detail" about the Date just for Inchou's part but less scene at her home. Too bad because I want to see Sue-chan more. :( |

| Just 2 more weeks...thank the stars. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| This is a great show to sit back and relax to, but I always feel conflicted after an episode. Maybe that ED helps me get there too. I'm still surprised by the messages it sends. |

Aversa said: Cat people are popular it seems seeing the dates that is that Tama and the cat girl didn't seem to be a romantic relationship. In fact Omaki has a crush on Tama. But Tama is not aware or does not show it. If they decide to animate one related chapter, you'll see it. |
 |
| Decent episode. Quiet the different mood in throughout each episode. I did enjoy the art conversation. Interesting perspective by Antarticans on art. |
 |
| CONTEMPORARY ART! I DON'T GET IT EITHER! Which is why I didn't find this episode too exciting, but I did see the link between the two stories where art isn't easily understood but can be several different things. Not bad. Man, with that many feds watching over the Antarctican, I would be afraid of even getting near one. It's like a war that's about to start! Lol at the triplets switching places to model for their dad. And more adorable little Sue! Girls are allowed to link arms eh? What about boys? Can boys link arms together too? I do like how the characters wear different outfits in each episode. And speaking of art... |

| Suu-chan had a date, but being spyed by the CIA, FBI, etc.? What the fuck? Please don't tell me that guy is a part of them, that'll hurt Suu-chan so much, maaan. That part where they thought they're going to check-in at the love hotel. Haha. But one of Hime's friends want them to check-in. Lmfao. Honestly, I was never a fan of museums especially paintings since I don't understand it. Haha. I don't want to pretend I understand art around people who are so into art, maaan. This episode's okay and I loved it. I loved when they showed two perspectives. Hehe. More gay couples. Haha jk. :p Holy shit! I didn't notice that. :O Some parts of this episode's animation looks ridiculous. Haha. Heck, still enjoyed it. |

| That explanation about art got me even more confused... |
 |
| They once again ditched most of the cute gay comedy in favor of DEEP MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS about things... Art is confusing. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Didn't think a date episode could get this boring. At least we got some of the triplets. |
| I really was thinking that class rep. were with a boy, I totally forgot her friend was very boyish... |
 |
| A bit of a weaker episode when compared to how amazing episode ten was, but still a very solid episode nonetheless. |
| In my opinion, this is the most boring episode... 2/5. |

ariel_nugie said: What happened with the animation in this episode? Did the budget just went down??? I mean, I could see weird eyes that Manami had, Sometimes Nozomi didnt have wings, then weird hands in some scene?? They probably are running out of money. Or too busy making episode 12 At least, episode 11 had some animation problems too. TheDoggoneGirl said: Suu-chan had a date, but being spyed by the CIA, FBI, etc.? What the fuck? Please don't tell me that guy is a part of them, that'll hurt Suu-chan so much, maaan. No, that's normal thing for all these agencies to be following Suu-chan. She is like a foreign diplomat. |
| Modern art is nonsense, if you need to explain why something is good then it's not very good, if you need to explain the context behind something then it has failed to convey it's meaning. This was an episode focused on explaining nonsense and it wasn't very good at it. |

| The question of contemporary art has been interesting in some ways, also because they have dealt with other aspects of society and the interpersonal relationships between the various characters. Irritating, as I'm dealing with this series at graphic level, scandalous! |
 |
| Seeing this episode from different viewpoints was interesting. And I like how Himeno blabbed. They caught the nature of modern art pretty good. |

| Well that sure was a nice episode looking at it from both sides! Let's see what's next. |

We don't know what he actually does, but he seems to work in the office for a regular income. He doesn't seem to be well-paid, but that's not something that can be fixed with a simple change in outlook. Painting is more of a hobby of his, even though he is pretty good at that. |

I must of missed that. Do you remember what part of the episode reveals this? Episode 3, the second half. Around 13:40 in my version. |
| Minami has it pretty bad at home. This was one of the best episodes as the went into Minami’s life. |
| I don't see the problem with her dad, he has a normal job and paints as a hobby. Nothing wrong with that as long as he doesn't neglect his duties as a father. |
| THANK..................FUCK!!!!! So happy we're back to the usual stuff. God that last episode. This episode had some funny moments with the agents and the main cast worrying that they're gonna go into a love hotel. It was exactly like Date a Live and I love it XD. I hope we see more of Hime in the last two episodes. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Art and museum episode, it was rather boring unfortunately :/ |

| Museum episode, boring |

| Suddenly a lesson in art history, particularly in terms of contemporary and pop art in the vein of Andy Warhol and Yayoi Kusama. Yeah, it's true that beginning in the 1950s, there was this infatuation with taking massed produced commercial products, reinterpreting and recontextualizing them in abstract manners. Eventually giving way to postmodernism, it takes a meta approach to art, seeing how far we can step back to see beyond a picture frame. This episode served three purposes: exposing Sassassul to modern art, linking into Manami's family issues, and gesturing towards an ongoing theme in A Centaur's Life. I suppose that's the overarching goal of the series. It seems like A Centaur's Life aims to recontextualize real world issues in this imagined world of fantasy creatures taking the place of regular humans. This is a world where human art, historical events, mythology, infrastructure, societal friction between different nations and races, and governing systems are relatively the same. However, the show exaggerates the differences between races via their physical characteristics. The show's moral seems to be staying vigilant at combatting stereotyping and discrimination. If, in this fantasy world slightly removed from ours, people can constantly stay mindful of their preconceived notions and actions, then surely we humans, with much less obvious physical variation, can do the same, if not better. I guess at this point, I'd question the erotic undertones of the first episode, the openings, and various moments throughout the series. I'm generally okay with the mermaids, as that can be considered different cultural standards, although the show still played that up. These moments somewhat undermine the serious issues the show keeps bringing up without adding too much. I think the best usage of exploring sexual themes was episode 4, where the show discussed conformity with a perceived bodily standard. I understand that providing levity is important, though I'd like it to be more relevant. Although, thinking about it, perhaps this is a way of saying even with drastic physical variation between races, sexual interest would still exist and be treated as taboo in certain societies. I'm not exactly sure how much leeway A Centaur's Life should be given in that regard, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. I know I'm being nitpicky about an otherwise absurd show, but since it's trying so hard to be serious, I'd like to try and take it seriously as well. |
