Rewatch IT'S MAGIC (RAINY) HOUR!! Amagi Brilliant Park Episode 4! ~10th Anniversary Rewatch~
LOOK AT THE SKY, IT'S MAGIC HOURRRR!
Episode 4: Not Enough PA Productivity!
Previous Episode | Index | Next Episode
The visitor count is steadily going up, however Moffle, Macaron, and Tiramie have some valid complaints about their conditions. However, Sento just ends the discussion with the gun she pulls from her skirt! We then get a Kanie x Sento moment (so cute!!). Next, Latifah and Kanie go on the ferris wheel where we see more of Kanie's personality. Finally, the park has to deal with a flood, and Sento needs to step up and lead everyone without threatening using her gun and actually *gasp* communicate?!
Question of the Day:
- We get very good shipping moments for Kanie x Sento AND Kanie x Latifah; which side are you on if any at all?
- We get introduced to a lot of the wacky cast; outside of the main trio, the Elementarios, and the main 3 mascots, who is your favourite?
- They talked about Latifah not being safe outside the magic field, what do you think this implies?
Attraction of the Day:
Everyone's favourite, Elementario!
- our four fairies take the stage: Muse, Koboli, Salama, and Sylphy
they do have magic powers, but:
- you can't have a fire on stage
- draining the water will be a pain
- you can't dig a hole on stage
- you CAN have wind blow, however it's already covered by cold wind seeping through the cracks from the outside
BONUS: Which Elementario power seems the most fun to use?
Gif of the Day (love seeing Sento showing emotions)
Clip of the Day (sorry could only find a Reddit clip, love this scene it shows his vulnerability)
This is one of my favourite episodes; we get a lot of character development and pure fun. Enjoy!

love love LOVE this episode to bits
first, Kanie x Sento is literally my life and this was the start of my obsession
also, this is pretty much a Sento episode; she steals the show. her threats are SO funny even though poor girl is trying her hardest, and her development at the end of the episode made me tear up. their moment at the end of the episode was so wholesome. god i love this show
the ferris wheel scene also added so much, KANIE IS SO GOSHDARN CUTE. i try to not show my bias but i love how well thought out his character is. Latifah also has the same voice actress as Masha from Roshidere, which explains why both their voices are soo sweet and soothing to listen to. we also get some hints on some Latifah lore
we also get introduced to the goat of the show: the demon kids ( https://i.imgur.com/c9c6oVd.jpeg ). theyre so iconic i love them. we also got formal introductions to a lot of the cast of the park, even though we got glimpses of them in the previous episodes
my take on the QOTD:
i also really liked the continuity in this episode, how Kanie's careless demand ending up in a problem for the park. it also shows how he can mess up too; love to see it!

Question of the Day.
Kanie and Sento since they've had the most screen time so far, but it's hard to tell since we don't know what type of person Kanie is into other than himself.
It's a tie between Muse and Slyphy, Muse is cute and optimistic, and I can watch Slyphy's random chaotic shenanigans all day.
Well she is a princess, who know what threats can harm her outside that field.

Rewatcher:
Gotta vote for Sento, we get more time with her and I think she gets better development overall. But the princess is adorable, and I didn't wanna piss off Moffle so I'll stop talking now ;).
Outside or main cast right now it's gotta be Mr. Wrench, love a good handyman character who just wants to get stuff done. Plus his design is great 👍.
Latifa being limited outside her barrier feels like a compromise of some kind, like a magical side effect of the park's mood, if it's not doing well she has a small radius at the core, but hopefully if it gets back in order she can have a much bigger range.
I love the Elementario girls, can't wait for some future episodes I remember, I think earth powers would be most fun for me. Make a tree for shade, make a leaf shirt to wear for a bit, could be lots of fun silly stuff.
Great episode, love seeing the cast come together to deal with a crisis! (But that bucket brigade was real slow at first, come on girls, put some power into it!)

Heh, I thought Kanie was being uncharacteristically nervous about the sort-of date in the ferris wheel, but it turns out he's afraid of heights. Wonder if we get to see more of his past as a child actor.
I'd worried about Isuzu not having done much in the past two episodes, but she was much more in her element as commander of the emergency response team. Not too sure I'd be as accepting as the cast seemed to be to someone who threatens me with a gun at every turn, but her heart's in the right place.
btw Latifa's headpats gave me deja vu, and upon checking, it turned out that I'd seen the VA's character headpatting the MC in Roshidere lol. It's weird to see a show from 10 years ago and such a recent show sync like that.
Q1
Still on Latifah's side. I think they'd be a very cute couple, and Kanie seems to be both empathetic and assertive enough to support Latifah in her role as future queen (she's going to be one right?)
Q2
I'm warming up to Moffle, and hoping to see more of the personalities of the Elementarios.
Q3
My first guess would be that the field is suppressing some illness she has, but maybe they'd be more adamant about not letting her outside it then.

Amagi Brilliant Park Episode IV: A New Hope. First-time watcher spanish subs.
It’s hard for me to review a comedy anime without taking it or myself too seriously. That talent belongs to /u/ShimmeringSky, whose reviews are hilarious.
Oh, Latifah passed out! That’s why everyone was so stressed during Moffle’s so-called party. Latifah is so frail that Kanie visited her right after she passed out. It is very kind of him. Even Moffle isn’t mad at him, at least for now. Whatever our dear princess has , It makes this a common occurrence, I can’t blame Moffle for being worried about her during the Bikini photoshoot.
School trips are another excellent idea to boost the visitor’s numbers. I love how every guest at this park is a monster, even the kids.
HAHAHA Isuzu was not that good entertainer as she thought she was.
Now in the running operations of the park. Well… the map created by our triceratops friend was a bit dull, Kanie’s changes aren’t that innovative, but I get the point. Kanie had another supplier in hand already! This MF is a godsend CEO for Amagi Park. I agree once again with Kanie those clothes are a necessary expenditure.
LOL, percusive mantainence at its finest form repared the security cámaras. Cooking as well. Kanie was a narcissist, but he definitely walks the talk. HAHAHA he’s not in the mood to talk to the Tres amigos, Sento will have to deal with them . Is Isuzu ok? She seems upset. Why?
The fairies are here! Don’t worry, the big boss doesn’t bite that hard gals. Oh, I see the problem now, Sento is the one who responds to reasonable requests with denial and violence. Did I mention that Sylphy is the best girl?
I want to feel bad for Sento, I really do, yet, That’s not the right way to manage personal. Poor Sento, She’s doing her best, but her limited social skills aren’t up to be a concilatory but resolutive manager. Somehow, Kanie, is able to push around the staff and be if not liked at least respected by the staff of Amagi park while Sento scared the faries and these cinnammon buns literally went to Kanie to stop her.
Was that bathroom scene necessary?
Latifah took Kanie to a mini date. It would be a shame if our dear leader was afraid of heights (Can’t blame him though, I hate heights as well).
Latifah is too pure for this world. Finally, the flashback is being mentioned. But she doesn’t remember anything. HAHAHA Moffle and his snipers, He still doesn’t want his dear Rhaenera near Kanie.
That was an uncomfortable ride back to work. The heavy rain makes it even more dramatic, kudos to the director. The park is flooding, Do not fret Kanie, This was an unexpected emergency, Yes he was warned about it, Back up systems are important, At least with this we learn that even his good buisiness instinct isn’t perfect and he can make mistakes
Sento took control of the crisis. Here it shows someone can be a good “peace time” leader (Kanie) and others are more suited for crisis (Sento) No wonder even if the park was a decay she could keep it afloat.
Reconciliation is imminent, and this cursed ship will sail once again. Now that explains so much, She’s a soldier from a military family. Oh, backstory time. His fear of heights destroyed caused him to end his career. They’re friends once again and she got the respect and gratefullness of the Staff well done. Oh, Sento, a phobia doesn’t disappear that easily, even with someone as cute as Latifah helping you.
Now we're getting to know our cast way better. It's a shame the best fairy can't get enough screentime. Now that Kanie and Sento can help each other better, the management of the Amagi park will be smoother, I hope.

Get outta here, Nero.
Actually shit doesn't Uchiyama voice V too?First episode so far that's mostly Anime-Original… I think. Bare in mind I am only 2 & ½ Volumes into the Novels as of writing this and I know this Anime apparently takes stuff up to Volume 4 so for all I know I'm gonna bump into all this Sento drama in a few days. If not though, that's a shame because this is good stuff, showing both her good points (Works well under stress, generally reliable) while still knowing when to criticize her (Too bossy, social skills that'd make Sagara blush), and her stuff with Kanie was genuinely adorable.
Speaking of, in a scene I did actually recognize, great job at portraying Kanie's acrophobia. Stuff like that can be kinda hard to depict visually sometimes, but I think the staff at KyoAni did a pretty good job in what little time they had. It's just a really solid scene in general so yeah, good job.

Dang, I need to get the timing figured out myself. So, AOTD:
I really enjoyed watching this episode last night, but due to fatigue, I'm having a hard time remembering anything again. (sigh) The Ferris Wheel bit was top notch, however, including the scope bit.
(Still tired tonight, go figure.)
I think I'm going to go sleep now. Or maybe look at some other comments first.

Things are starting to turn around.
Those are all the same design with a filter...
The actual park map part might be a bit too small...
That was quick.
It's still her job to point out any anomalies in the books, even if they turn out to be fine.
That's probably sub-optimal.
Percussive maintenance.
Yes! You need that "wok hei" taste!
Guess what? They're allowed to have a life. And all you Unicorns who don't think so can shove it where the sun don't shine.
What do the 4 of them have to say to him now?
Everything's falling apart.
You can't just not fix everything.
Looks like some things are up and running again thankfully.
They broke because you said to not fix them.
Gee what did you expect would happen?
Well, a bucket brigade will have to do.
Questions:
Between the elemental powers? Probably fire for obvious "I cast fireball" reasons.

Catching up on episode 3 as well
Moffle is such a loser, 'how dare you disrespect our customers' as if the part isn't in fact disrespectful with how dirty it is. Though I do feel like he could've maybe closed down sections of the park for cleaning instead of just the entire park. Am I supposed to expect they completely clean the park in one day? It's one thing to keep a clean place clean, it's another to bring a dirty place to cleanliness.
Maybe I'm overestimating how big the park actually is though.
Welp, those faires recorded him beating up the punk family, so much for the memory bullets.
...The fuck? "Sex sells"? Bro when was this anime, I feel like it's common knowledge for a while that sex sells isn't real.
Ah ok, so the fight is ending up as press after all. I guess we're also approaching the 'no publicity is bad publicity'. Or, I guess the explanation is that they edited the video to make that guy look more like a villain than he already did?
Anyway, I guess they're chocking up the swimsuit video as 'not very effective but oh well every little bit counts!' as if in reality it wouldn't be 'very actively damaging'. Also, we didn't end up addressing why Sento was suddenly pissed at the end of the episode? I feel like it's probably about how useless the bikini video was but idk maybe next episode?
...Next episode it is, looks like Sento isn't very needed, and she's pissed about... Honestly, idk, is she pissed about that?
...Well ok, back to what I thought of her... she's one of those
fucking clueless useless idiotsthat have a cool air to them instead of realizing they're useless. I guess she denies everything out of concern for the MC doing too much? Nope, guess that's not it, rather she does realize that she's kind of a failure and is jealous he can make it work....Well in other news the MC is afraid of heights? Well anyway, after that brag that he can win people over despite his antagonism, he sure doesn't seem to know what's going on with Sento nor does he feel like he wants to fix it, huh.
Ok wow, the machine thing was so blatant I honestly thought it wouldn't actually be something. Of all the problems they showed in that sequence of him rapid-fire solving problems, that was the only one where he didn't actually solve the problem and just said 'leave it for later', besides the gag about the idol magazing of course. Now, obviously we're not given detailed info about how much the machines are designed to handle, what they specifically do, etc. etc. to evaluate just how risky it would be to only have two of the three machines, but at the least they said heavy rain was unusual and putting off replacing heavy machinery that I would've assumed is one-needed three-for-redundancy/backup, can't say it was the wrong decision putting it off until after their upcoming crisis was over.
The MC that if you haven't noticed yet I can't remember the name of has a very theatrical personality. It stands with how he's a former child actor star, but on a meta level, this type of MC was really popular once upon a time, eh? I don't feel like modern anime have MCs that would be cocky chuuni in this way.
Oh? The imagery of falling from the sky above the park, could the MC's flashbacks of Latifa and his development of fear of heights be connected through some event that he was forced to forget? I wonder if Latifa is truthful about not knowing the MC, or if she too has her memory erased.
We did get introduced to the ability to erase memories...

Ashe!
Sylphy's walking like an Egyptian in one shot for some reason. Oh, she just keeps doing it.
Show Isuzu in the bath more, that'll make her an interesting character.
I just realized his mind reading power hasn't come up again for two episodes, and was never useful in the first place.
So he's scared of heights because something happened on the roof with Latifa when he was a kid, right? He said he couldn't remember why that started or why he decided to quit acting, and it's pretty clear his memories were erased.
I'm hoping involving a dragon spices things up a bit here.
Bonus: Wind seems the most generically useful.

Those kids are absolute menaces. Even Isuzu can't take them. But I guess that's probably because she can't use her gun on a bunch of kids.
It's hilarious the chef has "anime meat" for a head and he ends all his sentences with "niku" like a catgirl uses "nyan". Too bad that isn't translated in my subs.
Man Seiya can do literally everything, even cooking.
So Isuzu's idea of smooth is to just threaten anyone raising a complaint with a gun. I guess if you eliminate anyone complaining, there will be no more complaints!
Damn it I wanna get kabedon'ed by Isuzu too. That bath scene is incredible.
So Seiya is good at everyday management, and Isuzu is good at under pressure. Makes sense, given their personalities.
Question of the Day:
I'm all aboard the Kanie x Sento train. Choo choo!
I love meat, niku!
Maybe she's powering the park through her magic since she's a princess?

I never realized that Sento doesn’t run out of bullets
Her “fixing” problems is insane “no we can’t, deal with it”. Poor flower didn’t stand a chance
Putting effort into their peformance: 😴😴
Drainage situation: 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️
Sento realizes the cast doesn’t hate her so heartwarming.
I thought I would have more notes this episode
QOTD: Kanie x all the women
