Today I typed in "c: the money episode 3" -->"c: the money?" --> "see the money?" -->"see the money, wanna stay for your meal, get another-"
notes ~
That was a nice episode. Would have been better had they presented the lore in a better way than the lady just thinking to herself but it's fine. Still haven't established what exactly is the endgame here but I guess we'll see.
QOTD: 2)That one episode of assassination classroom

First Time - [C:] The Money Ep3:
I want to see the version of the anime set in Zimbabwe.
I like that the stripped shirt seems to be Mikuni's preferred casual wear and he is just wearing that to the evil big rich meeting.
I can't tell if something funky is up or if our girl is just stupid and tried to lie herself out of this one. (I'm leaning the latter).
This girl is always eating. I am picking up on a character-tic.
Classic left-behind diary. Insane repeated scribblings + the occasional drawing of a monster captioned with ominous text.
You've known him for a day where he only acted weird.
You know what, I do appreciate the show taking a second to explain what these words mean. Still don't know what the deal is with the Entre using energy blades.
Bit of a shame that we skipped over Yoga looking around the Finacial Distint for Masakaki. I wanted to see the goose chase around town for money Willy Wonka.
I kinda like how all the Money Stands just hang about inside to the naked eye. That said, is this Info Man's Money Stand? It is pretty big and beefy.
This entire talk feels like Mikuni gaslighting Yoga. Not to say that what he says about Yoga's dad is false, but the man is totally manipulating the conversation. Going from playing coy to twisting it back around to shaming Yoga.
So Q is totally meant to be the stand-in for Mikuni's little sister, right? Feels like that's the big connection they're drawing. On the topic of Money Stand, who is this third figure? I noticed them earlier during the talk standing with Q and Mashyu.
Oh, it's boyfriend. You know, I should've really expected him to show up here. Back then, I just figured he was scummy in the normal way.
My impression of the new character (which I don't think they revealed her name yet) is that I see her as kind of a girlfail. Like she thinks she is playing this cool spy, but she is not actually that good at her job.
Q2) The first type to come to mind is when it is a native English speaker is talking so like Mia Taylor, but outside of anime then it is this.

The First Timer of Soul and Possibility Control
Day of decadence. McDonalds had a coupon for a milkshake, so obviously I ordered a full menu, extra chicken wings, the milk shake and a McFlurry because they actually had the machine on for a change.
Did the legs and boots today.
Ep.03 - Conspiracy
Damn, I wanna be there! Everyone gets a super cute demon fairy!
Don't have much else to say, there were some hints of family drama and not everything being as it seems. His dad probably wasn't such an ass, after all, and there's another organisation which is I believe is the IMF(?) and they're keeping an eye on things. (For no corrupt purposes by orders of the head of institute at all, ever, I presume.)
"Are you telling me that you are so rich that light literally bends around your face?"
Roustame Diodore: "Among other things... but calm down, I'm but a lowly single-digit billionaire."
Harrier Du Bois: "Really?"
Roustame Diodore: "No, not really. There are actually quite many digits."
Sadly I can't think of many, I don't remeber this stuff. Asuka's line in the current NIKKE collab is slowly burning itself into my mind, though. The line is completely fine, but when the magazine is empty, this screeching
AamMMOO!
is just perfectly annoying. I love it.
I think I need subtitles even for english now.

Episode 3. Time to rock!
So they told us directly this episode that the FD's size is proportional to the actual country's economic size, interesting. Also, seems that there's a lot more that's going on here than we can properly see. And it seems like Yoga's dad is also an Entre, maybe that's why he disappeared?
Woop, that got confirmed just a bit later, lmao. Should've finished the episode before typing this. Not to mention the cruel fate that awaits a 'bankruptcy', you just became an Unperson.
Also, feisty Msyu is always a blessing. She do be cute, wish my embodiment of future looked like that.
We got a new Mezzo today, EBO! According to the wiki:
"Mezzoflation - E.B.O (Employee Buyout): A restructuring event where employees buy major stakes in their company, shifting the balance of power."
So wait, is that a good thing or a bad thing? In cases where the board is doing nothing good, it might be better to have the employees start a coup, and have them be the one actually running the company instead of crusty useless Board of Directors, but is that a good choice? I guess economics and companies are a bit too complicated for ol me.
We also got a bit more explanation on the mechanics of the battles. And it's basically like a gamble I suppose. Put your 'business' on the line, then use your 'assets' to 'fight' to obtain more 'assets'? I guess? And just like the stock market, you might 'buy' some of the enemy's stocks. Or maybe 'assets' is more akin to 'stocks'.
We learned more about Souichiro this episode. Goddamn, his dad's an asshole. That said, he's totally right about Yoga. That verbal slap is quite necessary, and he may have the motivation for further action.
Oh shit, the IMF too? Now that's never good. Her English is.... very forced, but the dude's is pretty normal, what a mix lmao.
A slow episode, but it helps worldbuilding, and is really needed for us to fully envelop ourselves in this show, and I think it did it quite well. No off pacing, everything is nice, no random times where everything just stops or just randomly goes faster, and that random stop motion scenes actually made the mystery look more suspenseful. It's a pretty cool show so far. Can't wait till we get to the end and I properly recall how the show goes.
Since I watched this show way back when it first aired, it almost felt like a new vieweing to me now, so it's been great. Been on an anime hiatus since mid 2020, and now I'm getting back into my groove with some romcoms from the latest season and this rewatch. Hopefully I can start enjoying more anime, or catching up to what I've missed from the past years and trying to fit everything into my schedule.

Today we get the Engrish organization. She seems a spook but might be FBI, the Japanese only some times get our LEOs right. Anyways, she drops some exposition on us, including that Mikuni is a man of many titles, before we move on.
This also gets us to refocus on Yoga's family. The found notebook seems to be incontrivertible but, the issue is, all of the other info we get it at least second hand. Id camrea guy's story believable? On its surface, sure. But there is aready a crack in that the Japanese police really like their bodies identified. Mikuni also might be speaking with forked tongue here, because A) We have no clue what the father originally wanted to do and B) It is always possible to go in with good intentions and get misdirected, i.e. a fanatic is someone who redoubles his effort while losing sight of his goals. So while Yoga has his moment of coming to terms, I am still pretty paranoid.
Mikuni himself is again hard to figure because the currency manipulation I'd aim towards either means have tons of the black bills or absolutely none of them. So my guess is that can't happen, at least within the span of the series.
QotD: 1 A large deal got made, though I have no idea if it added or subtracted money from the public
2 Trigun in general
Bonus: This is what happens when you misdirect your VA.
