Kinda funny to see a lizard talk about mouthfeel.

The Fated Magical Princess: Who Made Me a Princess Ep. 8: Finally meeting Jennette… sorta
Athanasia can already levitate small objects like her own teacup. But like most kids, she lacks patience and already has big dreams. I dunno, considering where she started at the beginning of the series, this is pretty crazy progress. Then again, magic isn’t real, so I’m just talking out of my ass.
Continue readingSPY 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.

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.

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.
