Rio's ideas are pretty interesting as she brings up Schrödinger's cat. As Mai is the cat here. In the case both the cat is dead and alive. Mai is obviously alive, but more and more her presence in everyone's memories in school is disappearing. So, in theory, she can also be considered dead. The school replicates the box. When you are observing something like here you can know Mai exists. Once you sleep, you need to regain that observation if not, she very well might not exist since you don't recognize her. Though the term atmosphere is quite odd because it stretches out beyond the school.

Given how much Sakuta wants to help Mai, it is no surprise he would even sacrifice sleep to find something. Of course, Mai herself isn't one that would want him torturing himself for her sake. Hell part of it is also him sacrificing his studying. Mai, after overhearing Rio & Sakuta's conversation, knows what will happen if Sakuta sleeps. No doubt she doesn't want him to sleep and forget her, but it wouldn't be fair to him.

As Sakuta forgets Mai, he lost observation of her. Though what makes him regain the observation is very interesting. It seems his time studying with Mai triggers memories. He learned various things after studying with Mai. Given that he remembers, then it would conclude his memories of her would come back. Thus, he regained observation of Mai. Though I do think when Sakuta kind of blames the student body for ignoring Mai, that's a weird situation more so. Of course, Mai is hurt, but you can't blame the students being affected by the phenomenon.

Now that study was what helped Sakuta remember Mai, we next have his cringe confession. As Sakuta confesses his love for Mai, the student body takes focus. The catalyst is Sakuta's feelings here. Sakuta loves Mai, but the student body doesn't know who Mai is. We know Sakuta to them exists, but to continue to believe Mai doesn't exist would be to not acknowledge that love he has for Mai. Clearly, the majority of students wouldn't think like that. Which is the trigger for them to remember her.

A well executed emotional moment. Also, despite Mai's tough act, you can tell how hurt she was that Sakuta forgot her. It's effortless to imagine even when Sakuta forgot her, she wasn't shown once, but she was clearly around.

Caught up with Teogonia. Really turning out to be a really solid under the radar show. Great world building, solid animation and decent action. The only thing it does too much tell instead of show, but it doesn't bother me too much.

fukk Shenmei I hope that bytch gets the most brutal satisfying death possible :pacspit:


I am growing to hate Shenmei more by the episode. Just when she shows off at the start. She purposely wants to make others miserable through her abuse of power. Even just seeing Kyou-u's mother behind her makes for a rather depressing scene, especially given how the episode ends. Though the remark that Suirei has imperial blood is interesting. Gives me the feeling that she may stick around until after the season is on.
Shisui really helps out Maomao when she lashes out against Shenmei for the moment. She has gotten to know Maomao and her suggestion of taibon. It is easy to see why Suirei is traumatized from it. Although it is nothing for Maomao as well know.

Though from Maomao meets up with Loulan and the episode finishes was fantastic. More and more we see how much of a monster Shenmei is. Her daughter was purely a doll for her to use. She couldn't recognize her without that makeup. Which is incredibly sad. Shenmei built up Loulan for the purpose of her revenge. Her role was to simply devour the emperor, but that was only what Shenmei wanted.

I love that Maomao refers to her as Shisui rather than Loulan. As mentioned, Loulan is more like Shenmei's doll rather than a daughter. Plus, even after being kidnapped we could see that the Shisui Maomao was with was her true self. Though the reveal that Shisui poisoned the kids is incredibly fukked up. Though because of Shenmei's actions basically their death was inevitable. Much like Maomao I am incredibly upset that this happened. Though the real highlight is what Shenmei has done. Her actions have put kids' lives in danger. Though I get this bad feeling Shisui may not make it out here alive as the sides are clashing next episode.

This is the kind of the season that casuals would hate. As the shows that are featured are more Slice of Life and Mystery oriented beyond what you put out. Which makes sense why @Bryan Danielson hates it. (Tho I don't get him shilling TBATE which has worse animation then the early part of S2 of Blue Lock. It might as well not even count as anime since there is no animation period.)

na…. Not just casuals

Pulling out one of my old insults that I ain’t used in lie 3-4 years.

Most SOL shows are dat “poo poo trash”:mjgrin:


So hopefully some of the new big hitters are gonna return in a big way.

Both of ya'll nikkas sleeping on Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman anyway.

Damn near 8 action based shows came out this season, you ate decently if actually liked anime. The only thing with these action shows is they might have a slower pace at times (Sword of Demon Hunter/Lazurus, etc...) but they're not bad. They have their turn up moments

FireForce coming back instantly makes this season above average off rip.

THere's literally no redeeming quality about Shenmei. So far in this series most of the antagonist had some redeeming qualities. It's crazy how much abuse Shisui and Suirei had to put up with and how Shenmei dehumanized them with her abuse. I feel Suirei might be the most tragic character in the series so far because was pretty much raised that she's worthless and had to endure physical and emotional abuse. Shisui is tragic too and it's sad that she was only able to be herself when she was in disguise at the rear palace.

WIshful thinking but I hope Loulan gave the kids resurrection potion and not poison. I know it's wishful thinking and I understand her logic to give them a peaceful death rather than barbaric death that will happen. We have to remember during this time period they execute your family line and clan for treason. Yeah, I don't think we're getting a happy ending and most likely the end for Loulan/Shisui. Also didn't realize the emperor was already sleeping with her. I ust love how everything connects in this series because so many little details ended up being major plot points for the episode

I think there's some hope Suirei might escape out of this due to royal blood.

I just know next episode is going to be brutal
