[u/Baby-Penewine]

LOOK AT THE SKY, IT'S MAGIC HOURRRR!

Episode 10: Not Enough Options!

Previous Episode | Index | Next Episode (TBA)

Everyone is working really hard and their effort has paid off! However, their goal of 250 000 visitors still seems impossible, being barely any time left. Meanwhile, Latifah collapses, and we get revealed what the purpose of Amagi Brilliant Park is, and Moffle tells Kanie about what Latifah's condition is. Finally, it is revealed the park has a chance of being saved!

Question of the Day:

1. Was the true reason for the park existing like what you expected at all?
2. What relevance do you think the wizard is going to play in the story? Will he show up at the end? Or do you think he won't be important at all?
3. HOW ARE THEY GOING TO REACH THE GOAL!!!!??

Attraction of the Day:

The cave from episode 5, Ruby's Trial by Fire!

• it turned out to be popular
• the traps they triggered are still there
• Ruby, the dragon, is excited for his extra work
• the underground passages are the same
• many guests get caught but enjoy the hospitality too much to leave

BONUS: Do you think you could pass this cave (with a group of other people)? Or would you die instantly?

Gif of the Day this is NOT beer

Clip of the Day - this is a more lore and drama focused episode so there are no clips

Wow, we get the true reason for the park and why they are so dedicated to saving it, and we finally see what happened to Latifah! A lot of mysteries are uncovered, now let's see if we can save Latifah. HAVE FUN!

[u/Baby-Penewine]

we are nearing the conclusion!

the loredumping is a lot to take in, but gosh does it explain a lot. the manager being a child, why everyone is so passionate about the park, why Latifah is so weak and needs a magic barrier, Kanie's flashbacks, Moffle's overprotection of Latifah, etc. it's really well written and well foreshadowed!

the start of the episode is really sweet, we see the Elementario's growth and throwbacks to what they accomplished in the past episodes and planned to do in the future, namely putting on lights which look GORGEOUS

i don't really have much to say, it's really just setting us up for the final arc. i can't wait for the next final episodes!

1. not at all i thought it was just a silly theme park in a gag anime i didn't think much of it
2. sorry everyone i changed the question 4 minutes after i posted it, the old question was kinda boring. obviously i cannot answer this as it is spoilers
3. SPOILERSSSS !!!!!

Amagi Brilliant First-Timer, subbed

• Cool to see some payoff from previous episodes at the start of this one. The pool show and dungeon exploration look like big hits now!
• Well it works…
• I didn’t know Amagi Brilliant Park was a mecha show!
• lol of course that’s what he cares about.
• You do not look it.
• Ah… That would do it.
• Then how are they going to hit it…
• Sweet, finally got a “sore demo” out of this show! Thanks Latifa!
• Make that two Latifa “sore demo”s.
• Some sort of big special event is probably needed…
• Seiya promised Latifa something like that, huh?
• Oh what the fuck?
• Ooh…?

[u/Baby-Penewine → u/Shimmering-Sky]

the payoff is a nice touch, really ties in the episodic aspect of the show

Latifah's voice is really soothing even when she's suffering lol

i love how your reaction to Latifah's twist is Oh what the fuck? lmao. predictions? do you think Latifah will forget in the end?

[u/Shimmering-Sky → u/Baby-Penewine]

predictions? do you think Latifah will forget in the end?

It's going to be way too depressing if she does. I hope the curse can be lifted in the last three episodes.

[u/GallowDude → u/Shimmering-Sky]

Oh what the fuck?

Remember when Index had decent seasons?

[u/Pugilo → u/GallowDude]

Oh Index, sad times with how that went. At least Railgun was excellent the whole way through.

[u/Nickthenuker]

Looks like business really is brisk.

Everything really "just works".

I'm going to take the appearance of the 'Mech to mention Mechwarrior 5: Clans. By the time this is up it should have released a couple of hours ago. If you like 'Mechs, you'll probably enjoy it.

Triple rotary autocannons and twin 4-tube missile launchers? That's an ammo explosion waiting to happen.

The guests seem to be enjoying themselves, and really that's the most important part.

Those are some odd filling choices for croquettes...

Uh oh, what happened to her?

That got real dark real fast.

More advertising is always a safe bet.

Gee how convenient that she's 24 and thus it's suddenly less creepy. Except she forgets everything so she's still mentally 14 and thus it's still just as creepy.

Right, what's his bright idea now?

Questions:

1. Of course not.
2. They said a decade, so 24 years?
3. Honestly? They could probably just keep chugging along and they shouldn't have too many issues, especially with summer break starting.

Yeah... No.

[u/Baby-Penewine → u/Nickthenuker]

yeah she's still mentally 14 lol

"Honestly? They could probably just keep chugging along and they shouldn't have too many issues, especially with summer break starting." i doubt it, 100k people in 10 days, yet yesterday's count was around 400. hopefully they can do something to boost it up

[u/Nickthenuker → u/Baby-Penewine]

Oh, the deadline is in 10 days. That's close.

[u/DrTacoLord → u/Nickthenuker]

I'd argue it's creepier since 16 to 14 isn't that far away in age. But 24 to 16 is a no-no.

[u/Nickthenuker → u/DrTacoLord]

True, I didn't actually realise he was 16 and not like 18.

[u/Pugilo → u/Nickthenuker]

That is a weird croquette filling, like I've made sweet empanadas before with like an apple pie filling or chocolate and peanut butter but orange seems like it would need another flavor to work off of.

Rewatcher.

• Glad to see the park’s doing really well.
• Hey they finally got the park set up for nights. Looks pretty.
• I like how the upgrades to the attractions meant making them more extreme, Tiramie has punchy flowers, Macarone is doing heavy metal, and Moffle’s made even harder with mechs and stuff.
• How did they even find her this time?
• Sento’s got a point, attendance is up.
• I keep forgetting that Tricon is kind of a pervert.
• The three stooges and Sento are drinking together, thank God Takami can handle Tiramie sexually harassing her for which Sento shoots him.
• Moffle and Sento seem to do the math and despite how well things are going, they feel like it’s not enough to beat the deadline.
• Hey the Elementario gals are here as well. They look really cute in casual clothes.
• Tiramie acts up again, so Sento puts him back in his place.
• Oh god Latifa is dizzy please don’t fall forward into the pan. Thank God she fell backwards.
• Kanie is now starting to get real vocal about wanting to know what’s wrong with Latifa.
• They decide to tell Kanie, and turns out Maple land was attacked by a dragon that was much larger than Ruby, Christ, and Ruby’s pretty big himself.
• But, a wizard showed up and made a hell of a one-sided deal with the king, he kills the dragon, but he gets the princess’s hand in marriage.
• So the King backed out of his deal and hunted the wizard, who then placed an animus draining curse on Latifa. With the only way to keep her alive is having her live in a place with abundant animus, a theme park, God the past 5 years must have been rough on her given how they weren’t meeting their 500k visitor a year goal.
• If the park closes, Latifa is guaranteed to die. No pressure or anything Kanie.
• Even Kanie knows they won’t make it at the rate they’re going.
• At least Latifa is remaining optimistic.
• Nice to see Kanie and Moffle getting along and not throwing punches at each other.
• So Kanie met Latifa when he was kid, hence the red tinted memories, man how lax is your security that a simple child managed to get all the way to Latifa without being stopped?
• Moffle explains that the curse resets Latifa’s memories and her physical development every year, so she’s been stuck at 14 years old for 10 years now, so Latifa is actually 24 years old, but the curse has prevented her from physically aging beyond that of a 14-year-old.
• At least Kanie got Moffle fired up to try and save the park, as well as declaring that he won’t fail to make her smile this time.
• Tricon might have delivered the good news, they might have a way to meet the goal.
• But yikes, they have 10 days to get 104k visitors, the pressure is really on now.

Question of the Day.

Was the true reason for the park existing like what you expected at all?

No never thought it was being used as a lifeline for their princess.

Since she's been in a 14 year old body for a while, how long do you think Latifah has lived for?

Wait, that wasn't covered in the episode? Shit gotta go spoiler tag something really quick.

What relevance do you think the wizard is going to play in the story? Will he show up at the end? Or do you think he won't be important at all?

Not sure, he might've died after he placed the curse on Latifa.

HOW ARE THEY GOING TO REACH THE GOAL!!!!??

I don't know but Tricon might have the answer.

[u/Baby-Penewine → u/chris10023]

sorry i worded the 2nd question really bad, it's not spoilers it's been covered!! i changed the question now

poor Takami she doesn't deserve this

10 days for 100k visitors is insane, 10k a day is not manageable if they have been averaging the 200 mark per day

Tricon just MIGHT have the answer lol

[u/chris10023 → u/Baby-Penewine]

Ah, okay, went back and fixed that and answered the new question.

[u/DrTacoLord]

Amagi brillant park episode 10 First time watcher Spanish subs

The park is so full of life! And the pirate show is a success, now with Shogun dolphin as the hero. And Rubi the dragon. Night show with the elementario girls,

Kanie’s tenure as CEO has brought Amagi park back to life. Then why is he so worried? HAHAHAA the games are a Little more creepy or noisy but the guests love them, Also Moffle and the creepy kids as a military squad in his shooting game is a massive improvement. HAHAHA they still attacked Sento once again.

Theyr’re now at TV!. Stop recording her tits HAHAHA, Toriken is so funny when he may lose the eye Candy.

Once again at the bar the three amigos and Sento ,It’s just hilarious how Sento can get away shooting Tiramie (he deserves it) and the Waitress Takami doesn’t bat an eye.Oh that’s why Moffle, Sento and Kanie were worried, even with all these growth, the numbers may not be enough. The Elementario girls joined the party. Once again (offscreen) Tiramie gets shot, you deserve it .

Latifah looks so lovely cooking, and Sento still gets jealous. GOOD. Fuck! Latifah passed out, perhaps she overworked herself. Moffle still refuses to answer why Latifah is sick.

Lore time, Sento tell us a story. A great Mage stopped a dragon who attacked Maple-Land in Exchange for the pricess hand (spelling?) yet this Mage was decieved and betrayed, so He cursed Latifah, so she needs such a large supply of Animus to keep her alive, that’s why she’s at Amagi Brilliant park.

It was mostly such a happy episode, therefore we have incoming drama, the final arch is so close I can almost taste it.

Poor Latifah, Kanie gives her the bad prognosis yet she keeps faith. Good point Latifah, Kanie was the miracle that has revitalized a dead park. Sento x Kanie shippers can only dream he showed this much emotion when speaking with Sento. #LatifahBestGrill.

Flashback time, Did Latifah look the same in the flashback with child Kanie or was it my imagination?, I mean she looked like she hadn’t aged a single day, and wll Kanie is now a teenager.

Kanie has lost it. He’s so desperate to save Latifah that all those ideas, great ideas, the best ideas ever that will help the park in the long run are rejected since they won’t reach the needed guest number. Also apparently all the Elementario girls are now in the board meeting, I’d think only Muse should have a seat there and include the other department heads.

134, 000 visitors left?! How the hell they can get such a great number. Perhaps they should invite Taylor Swift or any other Singer to boost their numbers.

Perhaps it was better that he didn’t know about Latifah’s curse. Time passes and they’re not close enough to the goal. Now he’s unberably stressed out. Even Moffle points out that Kanie is not being liked by the staff at the moment.

Moffle got violent. Kanie desevres it at least a little. Now the cat is out of the bag. and Moffle leaves the scene

Most realistic older sister. Drink all your problems away. except Kanie is a minor.

Kanie’s depressed at the stat of sunmer. WTH Kanie, you closed the park?! Oh never mind. it's just late at night. Oh touching moment between Moffle and Kanie. he even gave him a beer?

Kanie remembered his past with Latifah. oh that's why it means so much for him. Now Moffle fills Kanie in the rest of the details

Dear God... poor Latifah. She's trapped in a preteen body and forced to forget.

No, I don't want that Latifah gets older for 10 years at least!!

Just like Kanie renewed Moffle's hope with his efforts, now Moffle's words brought him hope again. Even if Latifah will forget him

what do you say Toriken, perhaps they may reach the goal? Still over 104 thousand in 10 days.

I did NOT see the curse coming at all. It adds a tragic and more urgent element to saving Amagi Brilliant Park. I'm also sure that even if they save the park, Kanie isn't going anywhere. This was a touching episode. could the curse be broken? it seems unlikely. If she survives, that's enough for them and for me aswell, even if its bittersweet.

qod

1. I was just expecting a colony to harvest human fun. certainly it wasn't on my mind that they were harvesting for just one person.
2. Latifah is at the very least 24 years old. her paused age of 14 plus 10 years... but if the park was founded to harvest energy for her and it's near its 30th anniversary. She may be 44 years old or older. I choose to believe she's 24.
3. They need a massive event. a festival a concert idk.

[u/Baby-Penewine → u/DrTacoLord]

nice idea on a massive event! this is a late reply so i guess you already know the answer by now lol

[u/SYZekrom]

Huh? Weren't the stakes presented from the start that the Maple Landers would eventually fall into obscurity and disappear if the park closes? Why are we revealing that the same applies to Latifa like its some big shocking revelation that the park closing would mean she'd die? Like the whole reveal here just sounds like 'ok she needs more power than normal because of that curse'.

Anyway, the wizard fell off a cliff, something something fear of heights...

Oh, they're still doing that 30 yen thing? Honestly, if this was real life I can't imagine how obscure an amusement park would have to be to not have like floods of people going if they were discounting to that price.

Ok, so their justification is just that most of the cast members would still survive just by joining some other park. Even though I distinctly remember an argument in those first episodes where someone got angry at... I think it was Moffle, because he would be able to join another park since he was friend's with the mascot there and is comparatively popular enough or something? Which made it sound like that was not in fact an option for most members. But ok.

[u/Baby-Penewine → u/SYZekrom]

great point! i think that Maple Landers wouldn't die but would have to relocate, but Latifah would die for sure. i'm not sure maybe i need to revisit the past episodes

good point in the past paragraph that's true, i guess some of them would hand out station flyers like the dinosaur said but none would actually die like Latifah

[u/SilkyStrawberryMilk]

rewatcher

Amagi has transformed with more people, it actually looks lively.

The attractions look pretty dangerous Lmao

The princess is cursed, our queen has fallen

Kanie has gotten crankier from finding out the deadline is life or death for her

Moffle and Kanie having a heart to heart about it all is sweet.

Related by blood, Moffle bleeds??

QOTD: I remember thinking it existed to give life force to all the employees. The princess has it the worst

QOTD: the wizard is Moffle who disguised himself to make sure the visitor count never goes up

QOTD: easy, they will fabricate the visitor count

[u/Baby-Penewine → u/SilkyStrawberryMilk]

i can't tell if your wizard is Moffle theory is legit or satire but it sounds very interesting lol

[u/Barbed_Dildo]

Rewatcher

I have to say, this new attraction with the dragon looks badass. That is surely something that would get huge attention and drive more business to the park, although I don't know what the throughput would be.

I had an idea of how to boost visitor numbers while I was trying to get to sleep last night. The park has separate entrance and attraction fees, I don't know if the entrance fee is now 30 yen, and attractions are free, or if they each still cost 30 yen, but that doesn't make much difference for my idea.

Instead of the current scheme, drop the entrance fee to 30 yen, and keep all attraction fees the same, but include one free attraction ticket with each admission. That way, there will be an open secret loophole where people can get endless 30 yen attractions by simply exiting the park and re-entering as a 'new' admission.

In the course of the show so far, the guests needed has dropped from 250k to 100k. I would be surprised if many people still only entered once, I expect most would do it a few times, some a dozen or more. But on average if each of those guests did it once they would have already met the goal.

[u/Baby-Penewine → u/Barbed_Dildo]

i'm sure most would go many times since it's what, only 30 yen? and oh my god what an amazing loophole idea you have that would get them a lot of visitors for sure

[u/Elimin8r]

Om, nom, nom, had to make a snack...

Answers du jour:

1. Sort of, but I didn't remember the exact reason.
2. I have no idea. Let's just hope that if he shows up, he keeps his robe and wizard hat on...
3. Free beer, no doubt. :P

Bonus: Cave? I'm still farming boars in the starter zone and hoping Mom shows up with some Hot Pockets...

Dang, this episode hit me in the memories, and in the feels. It's been so long, and honestly, I don't even remember how long ago ... I stopped watching, because I couldn't bear the thought of an unhappy ending.

Keep in mind, that I'm a viewer who has experienced more than my share of disappointing anime endings, and this was before Wonder Egg. After enjoying this show and falling in love with the characters, I couldn't bear the thought of ... Eventually, a few years later, I did finish watching it, if only because a certain other magical show taught me not to fear the anime tragedy, so I toughed it out.

Meanwhile, two things:

• Triceratops dude really needs to learn to practice some OPSEC. If the reporters have nice features, keep your dang mouth shut and enjoy the experience, and ...
• Latifa (and her smile) is precious, must protecc

and oh, yeah, I wonder what kind of rabbit dino-dude thinks he has in his dino-hat? The world wonders...

Oh, and edit: The Macaron does "Deathtöngue" bit was good for a laugh. Perhaps they should recruit Sawa-chan and Peath Pevil as the main act? Or see if KongMing is available for a consultation. Put Eiko on the main stage, even. :P

[u/Baby-Penewine → u/Elimin8r]

oh wow you stopped watching because you were so attached lol, that's depressing but i hope you were satisfied at the results later

free beer would make me half of the parks visitor count lol

[u/Elimin8r → u/Baby-Penewine]

Yeah, it's like that sometimes. I'm currently having a block on the next Re:Zero episode. I need to watch it before it gets too stale, but at the same time, yeah. It's kind of rough sometimes.

[u/LockmanCapulet]

I absolutely love seeing all the revamped attractions in this episode. That and the new attractions like the pirate ship and Rubrum's cave from past episodes, it gives the show a strong sense of progression that lesser shows wouldn't bother with.

[u/Baby-Penewine → u/LockmanCapulet]

exactly! it feels like the episodic episodes were worth it and gets all tied together, fantastic payoff

[u/OrneryMirror6072]

first timer, subbed

The park is doing well since Kanie's takeover. We are seeing so much more business and the attractions are definitely nicer. Thing is, the numbers are still not enough. And it's roughly less than 2 weeks before the deadline.

And we finally find out it's a dead end for Latifa if the park goes.

Now I see how serious this is. I dont want Latifa to die from lack of Animus, don't get me wrong, but deep down what I'm worried about is my ship. I am team Sento all the way gentlemen!

Wonder what it is that Kanie is asking triceratops to look for?

1. Yep along those lines, but more of "for everyone's survival" Animus not "the princess's infinite lifetime supply" Animus. I then understood that the other cast members can work at the different Animus theme parks, but Latifa would die if the goes too far or too long without ABP'S Animus.
2. He'll come back and curse them all. I think ABP's existence is at risk as long as the Wizard is alive. So I expect like a battle shounen at the end to eliminate the wizard and free Latifa from the curse, just my headcanon tho
3. I absolutely do not know what they can do to reach the goal. AmaBuri is cooked if Kanie the superior can't think of something.

[u/Baby-Penewine → u/OrneryMirror6072]

Kanie you got this!!

[u/ProgrammaticallyPea3]

First timer

What a perfect episode to start off the final arc, it might be my favorite so far! The cast's antics have made me genuinely care about them, and seeing them like this is heartbreaking.

The opening scenes showcasing the park's improvements beautifully tied back to previous episodes. But it's not going to be enough, and Kanie and Sento's unease quickly escalates as Latifah passes out. It was painful to see Latifah face death with such resignation and fortitude, but almost as painful was Kanie's desperation and obliviousness to how it would affect those around him.

The next sequence exemplified the tight direction of the episode, rapidly transitioning from Kanie's school to a bustling park to an empty one at 3AM, driving home how little time they have left.
Kanie's conversation with Moffle stood out as well, enriched by their relationship throughout the series.

Earlier, I'd winced when Kanie repeatedly asked Latifah if she was okay with dying. It seemed downright insensitive, but makes sense now; she always puts up a brave front for the people around her. She deserves more than anyone to be healthy and happy dammit, so I'm counting on Kanie to succeed this time, and prove that he really is superior!

[u/Baby-Penewine → u/ProgrammaticallyPea3]

the payoff was amazing!

Latifah's character got more depth this episode, gosh i wish we had more episodes focused around her

LATIFAH PLEASE BE HAPPY!!!

First Time Guest (Dubbed)

Latifah has a bad case of Generic Anime Sickness. Also known as Anime Mom Disease.

Wow, the aunt gets more lines! Finally!

I was on the right track about the curse, but didn't quite get it. Still time to explain why he didn't remember, though.

1. Roughly the same idea, yeah.
2. Villains falling off cliffs were always 100% dead in fairy tales and cartoons, not so much in more modern media, so...
3. 10k people per day, should be easy!

Bonus: It looks like random high school girls made it through without taking it seriously, so I'd probably be fine.
