SPY x FAMILY Ep. 42: Yor’s new mommy friend

When we begin this week’s episode, Yor again wonders if she’ll ever fit in with normal people. Well, I’m no expert, but I feel like her worries are so overblown. The only people who think she’s weird are the ones who are close to her, i.e. her family and her coworkers. Her family, which includes Loid, Anya, and Yuri, all love her. As for her coworkers, they started off as bitchy mean girls, but even they’ve been warming up to her (and thus the audience) these days. So from an objective standpoint, it doesn’t seem like Yor really has anything to worry about. She’s just in the throes of her insecurities again. Don’t get me wrong, ’cause Yor definitely is weird. I just don’t think that’s how most people perceive her. Like those gossipy housewives she bumped into as she was leaving her home. They probably don’t think Yor’s weird at all.

Sanda Ep. 5: Ono’s revelations

So there’s no real mystery with Ono. Puberty simply kicked in, and as a result, she feared what that sick headmaster might do to her in this weird, twisted world that they inhabit. Fair enough. I can understand her actions from that perspective. Nevertheless, I’ve got some… conflicting thoughts about these revelations. First, this rather seems anticlimactic. I’m sorry, but that’s just how I feel. No weird conspiracy. No bizarre kidnapping. She didn’t get sent to that dark and scary place. Y’know, the punishment Oshibu had threatened Amaya with back in the second episode. Nah, the reality is that she simply went through puberty, so she ran away because this society has an unhealthy relationship with youthfulness and aging.

May I Ask for One Final Thing? Ep. 6: Ascending the hierarchy of people to punch

When the story resumes, Scarlet is all by herself on a balcony as she tells us how Terenezza has disappeared. Huh, what happened to punching Julius? Don’t tell me we’re skipping out on that. You can’t give me a cliffhanger and then not resolve it! But instead of punching out an annoying prince, Scarlet reads a letter from the latest incarnation of Saint Diana. Scarlet has a new mission: go on a holy pilgrimage with the saint. She’ll be there as both friend and bodyguard. Moreover, the prince somehow has both women pissed off at him. We all know he can troll Scarlet, but what exactly has he done to Diana? Well, this is anime, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the saint herself is somehow a part of Scarlet’s harem. As such, it’s probably a safe bet that she’s jealous of anyone who gets close to her crush.

My Awkward Senpai Ep. 5: Two idiots risk their lives for an office job

A typhoon is headed their way, so Kannawa wonders if she should tell her mentee to even come to work. Uh, no? There’s no way in hell you would find me in the office if there’s a typhoon warning. Not only that, the weather forecast is literally telling people to stay home. I think it’s wild to put work over your own personal safety, especially when you’re just a grunt in the office. If your bosses can’t understand that, you’re probably working for a black company. But as she leaves her apartment, the “camera” lingers on the umbrella she has left behind. Y’see, you can’t have a doki doki “let’s share an umbrella” moment if you don’t go to work and risk your life!

Dusk Beyond the End of the World Ep. 5: I’m throwing in the towel

When we last left off, Akira had jumped in harm’s way in order to protect an android of all things, but fine, chalk it up to instincts. Let’s just accept that his body moved before he could think logically. But even as he’s bleeding out, he tells Yugure not to kill the mafia boss who is hellbent on enslaving her for his own selfish ends. He’ll probably end up issuing orders to kill him and Amoru too. Why would he spare them? No, it’s not that I want to see Yugure butcher her enemies. I’m not asking for anyone to die. But the last thing I would do in a dangerous situation is to put conditions on what my savior can do. “Oh no, my house in on fire! Please save me, heroic fireman! But please, can you not break down my door or get my house wet? Can you just put the fire out without doing either of those things? Gee, thanks.” It’s ridiculous.
