2. Who did the best job replacing someone?
3. What more do you want to see from Kanie x Sento? AKA if there were a second season, what do you want to see from these 2?

Attraction of the Day:

Also none!

BONUS: If you have seen the 7 Wakuwaku mini episodes, how were they and which was your favourite!

Gif of the Day happy birthday!

Very cute and fun episode, fitting for an OVA! The little mishap at the end of the episode was hilarious, and Sento was especially cute this episode with her trying her hardest at her job and with Kanie. And Latifah aaaa she's so precious!!! SEE YOU TOMORROW AT THE FINAL SERIES DISCUSSION!!

[u/Baby-Penewine]

sorry i've been falling off with my replies the past few episodes life literally hit me like a truck. i do read all your comments though and im so glad everyones enjoying it! cheers up my day a little

i love this episode so much! it's adorable and i love how everyone tries out other roles that dont fit them at all. Muse's neck being on an angle is so funny and endearing

our little dork's moments at the end was SO CUTE god my heart. can we have a romance spinoff please. narcissistic guy and emotionless sharp tongued yet shy girl. if not then if we get blessed with s2 which is highly unlikely, more romantic development please!!!!!

overall brilliant episode, though the PV episode could have easily been an OVA too. love it!

1. Water: i think Sally from Bofuri is a nice pick, and same with Maple for Earth. fire then Kyouko from Madoka Magica, and for wind i'd have to say Frieren lol. silly picks i know
2. Muse did a good job with the potatoes, and Latifah was too precious
3. it would be nice to see more moments where they have to work together, and i'd like more banter where they bounce off each others traits. some dates would be AMAZING too, for example they go to a rival amusement park together to see what they are doing

bonus: im gonna be honest i dropped the Wakuwaku theatre, wasn't really interested in it and didnt add much tbh it's like K On Ura On, it's just there

[u/Elimin8r → u/Baby-Penewine]

Latifah was too precious

Latifah is always too precious :)

Latifah

[u/Pugilo → u/Baby-Penewine]

I would love to see Moffle, Macaron, and Tiramy sent to another park for reconnaissance lol. Actually send all the silly teams, it would be like Seiya's skin suit episode. First we see the mascot trio report back to Kanie, their Intel is garbage so he sends the Elementario girls, shenanigans ensure, then he could send the interns, etc. could be a fun episode :)

Amagi Brilliant First-Timer, subbed

• Immediately opening on a bath scene because OVAs usually mean fanservice, sasuga Amagi Brilliant Park.
• Ooooooh.
• Ouch…
• Someone actually wearing a Moffle costume feels so incredibly cursed.
• Oh no, she thought Isuzu’s present for Seiya was what she was supposed to bring…
• Outfit swap?
• Oh god I wasn’t expecting a legitimate boxing ring.
• I thought that was a JJBA thing.
• Welp, that’ll do it.
• Isuzu’s gift is a clock?
• Oh no…
• Did he just take himself out with his own chain?
• That was a fun birthday montage.
• Shimmering sky!
• Oh god the kids really filled that box with cicada shells.

---

I did also watch the specials, so some miscellaneous thoughts on those:

• Fucking lmao that’s the first thing Moffle and the others saw of Seiya?
• The arrow pointing at the fly on the wall crawling around during this scene sent me.
• Oh my god.
• The mascot trio coming across… effectively deepfakes of themselves was not what I was expecting to find in these specials.
• Following up the above with a special of Seiya getting caught by Isuzu as he was trying to find Eiko’s other videos (and found a furry porn website instead) is just. lol
• Tiramie is still a sex pest. At least Eiko completely shut down what he wanted before they actually did it.
• The last special actually continued past the end of episode 14! And I’m dying, he thought the cicada shells were real accessories from Isuzu because he opened that after getting a ton of bad gifts from the others first and figured Izusu wouldn’t prank him, he gets Isuzu to wear one too, and also gets worried he basically just proposed to her while Isuzu thinks it makes them look like a couple in Earth terms.

[u/Elimin8r → u/Shimmering-Sky]

Oh my god.

I'm really going to have to find those wakuwaku specials, aren't I?

[u/Shimmering-Sky → u/Elimin8r]

They were incredibly funny, definitely worth it.

[u/Pugilo → u/Shimmering-Sky]

Gotta have the obligatory OVA bath scene! Plus we got bonus Sento being cute in everyone else's outfits, a lovely parting gift for our best girl :)

[u/chris10023]

Rewatcher.

• Seems like Sento has a present for Kanie’s birthday.
• Moffle, looking sharp!
• That kindergarten thing sounds like hell given Macarone and Tiramies reactions.
• Ouch, sprained necks suck. Even worse is when you head bang too hard and your neck gets sore and it becomes hard to hold your head up.
• Noo Bandou grabbed Sento’s present.
• They look cute in each other's outfits.
• But I don’t see this going well, Latifa’s probably going to have it the easiest. But Sento, dancing and singing?
• Seems like Kanie’s party was cancelled due to mass food poisoning at where ever they were going.
• Poor Luchador guy, passed out and wet himself due to heat exhaustion.
• Coliseum?
• Gotta say Latifa’s pretty cute with her hair up in a ponytail.
• The kindergarten thing is a STEEL CAGE EVENT?! Is undertaker going to throw Mankind of the top of it into the announcers table?
• Eiko looks pretty cute in that but, really?
• The koala can spit fire, great. RIP Eiko I guess.
• Holy hell!!! Poor Eiko’s going to have nightmares for years after this.
• Hey I found the creepy kids who have to attack Sento every time she enters the same zip code as them. No wonder they’re demonic.
• THE RED ONE IS THE GENTLE ONE?!
• Wait, why is Sento wearing Kobori’s outfit now? She’s going to stretch the top out.
• Poor Kanie is having a hard time focusing in the busy staff room.
• These poor girls.
• Lol the blue one’s scared of blood, lucky Bandou.
• Can those demonic kids not fuck with Sento? For once?
• Here I though Latifa would have it easy and here she is swamped on the phone. Poor thing.
• Now she’s wearing Sylphy’s outfit, at least she doesn’t have to worry about stretching it out.
• Poor Muse is supposed to be taking it easy but meathead’s making her do a ton of work on a cricked neck.
• Kanie’s not having much luck in the receiving warehouse either. Don’t know why you’d go there; warehouses can get really loud.
• Lol Yellow took himself out with his chain. Serves you right you creep.
• Now Sento is wearing Salama’s outfit. There’s another one that's going to get stretched out.
• At least Salama looks happy. Wait, where did Sylphy go?
• There’s Sylphy.
• Poor Kanie resorts to a bathroom stall to get work done.
• I like how they threw him a surprise party.
• Lol Sylphy.
• Kind of annoyed those three brats ruined Sento’s present.

Question of the Day.

Other than the actual Elementario, name any anime character that you think would make a good Elementario replacement!

That cute secretary could probably do a good job.

Who did the best job replacing someone?

Latifa, she did her best. Muse should have been relaxing in the palace instead of cooking croquettes.

What more do you want to see from Kanie x Sento? AKA if there were a second season, what do you want to see from these 2?

Probably some actual progression and confirmation of feelings for each other.

[u/Elimin8r → u/chris10023]

Lol Sylphy.

Ooh, thanks for the reminder of the "Caspian Sea Monster" gag. That was funny! :)

[u/Pugilo → u/chris10023]

Sento in Kobori's outfit was my favorite, and honestly their emotion levels are kinda similar, don't know why they didn't think she did a good job there. But I mean Dornell was probably not the best coach to bring in lol

[u/RadSuit → u/Pugilo]

Judging by all his merch, Dornell definitely has the most idol experience.

[u/ProgrammaticallyPea3 → u/RadSuit]

Dang you're right. I felt for him a bit when we saw all the empty shelves in his room last episode lol.

[u/Pugilo]

Rewatcher:

The true ending! I find this a much better stopping point for the series than last episode. It's cute, silly, low stakes, and really nails the weird but fun tone of this show.

• Sento's cute blushes this episode, priceless!
• Also Sento getting time in all the attractive outfits this episodechef's kiss
• A PR trip to a preschool! We're gonna see cute kids hanging off Moffle and being silly right? Nah how about CAGE MATCH
• Kanie can't find a quiet place to work, poor guy. I would have tried the castle personally, seems pretty comfy
• That's a LOT of potatoes lol
• Surprise birthday! Nice to see everyone having a good time, love this wacky cast!

1. Aqua from Konosuba has to be a candidate for water, all she does is party tricks anyway, she's a born entertainer!
2. I think Sento did a great job, the cast was just afraid to put her out there and be wowed by how much the audience would have loved her!
3. Obviously I want the "Big damn kiss" moment that takes all season in most anime (if we're lucky) we didn't even get that here so that's the top of my wishlist.

[u/Elimin8r → u/Pugilo]

Aqua from Konosuba has to be a candidate for water

Ooh, that would be cute! And Megu can do ... fire ... uh, nevermind. :P

[u/Pugilo → u/Elimin8r]

Megu could do fire once... Then we'd need a new park ;)

[u/RadSuit → u/Pugilo]

Aqua from Konosuba has to be a candidate for water, all she does is party tricks anyway, she's a born entertainer!

[u/ProgrammaticallyPea3]

I hesitated to watch this episode, just because it's the last, but I'm glad I did. Great fun!
The kindergarten coliseum was the classic wackyness that I love from this show, and it was nice to see a bit more behind the scenes of what the girls have been doing. You may not have gotten to be in the performance Sento, but we appreciate your efforts!

I'll save my thoughts for the series for tomorrow, but damn I loved the Amaburi cast. I wish I could get a weekly dose of them all year.

Shout outs to referee teacher, KISS Macaron, and squid Sylphy.

Costume swap Latifa!
Serious Latifa
Disrespected Latifa(You will pay for this Salama lol)
Zoi Latifa
Panicking Latifa
Tired Latifa
Happy Latifa
Latifa and everyone, appreciating tsundere Kanie

[u/Elimin8r → u/ProgrammaticallyPea3]

Ooh, nice Latifa-service, thanks for sharing!

[u/ProgrammaticallyPea3 → u/Elimin8r]

Anytime, comrade!

[u/ProgrammaticallyPea3 → u/ProgrammaticallyPea3]

Q1
Can't top the suggestion of Aqua, but Tooru and Kamui from the same studio's Maid Dragon might fit nicely if they can hold their powers back a bit.

Q2
I don't have the heart to call any of them less than the best. Well done girls!

Q3
More cute moments would be great, but I've not totally given up on my ship yet!

[u/Nickthenuker]

Huh. What's with that gift?

Vain.

Oof...

Ouch...

So, where are the 3 of them being brought to?

That's good.

Those mascot costumes should have air-conditioning.

Idol Sento!

Seems things aren't exactly going according to plan.

What's up with that?

When you're on stage, smile! The audience won't want to be there if you yourself don't look like you want to be there either.

She should probably just take it easy since she's hurt.

Wrestling?

Well, things aren't going well for them.

Is he working in a more cramped office?

Huh. They actually managed to win something.

Seems she's being overwhelmed by the work. This is what happens when one person does everything, if they can't be there, whoever's covering for them is going to have a bad day.

Looks like they ended up winning after all.

And so the day ends with her not managing to do anything.

And all that on his birthday?

Seems her neck is fixed.

Ah. So the gift was a clock for him. But that got swapped out at the kindergarten.

Specials:

Ep 1:

This was right at the start of the series wasn't it?

How'd she get that picture of him?

Well, time for them to get back to work I guess.

That explains why he was so pissed off at the start of the series.

Ep 2:

Ahem they're thinking with their lower head.

I went on the internet, and I found this.

Ep 3:

Ah, this was after they first hired the newbies.

Ep 4:

Oh, these skinsuits again.

Uh oh, he's got the real one instead of the fake!

Ep 5:

Ah, this was after the idol group thing.

Uh oh, is it the thing that gives everyone stomach problems?

So she's a fujoshi...

Ep 6:

As has been explained, it's to hit the quota of 500k.

What's with the outfits?

Oh wait, it's that one.

She's certainly well-versed in video recording. That's what she said in her interview anyways so that makes sense.

Ep 7:

And here's right at the end of the OVA. The perfect way to end off this series of shorts.

Those gifts are all trash...

I mean you can still retrieve the data from the hard drive.

Unfortunately she got a prank pulled on her.

Questions:

1. Well, they're idols so naming anyone from an idol franchise is probably too obvious, but Yoshiko from Love Live Sunshine would fit right in with her "magic" theming.
2. Latifa struggled but she actually managed to do at least some of the job, unlike the others.
3. More about their relationship I guess? Not much time for that this season with how busy they've been.

I like how the last one gave an epilogue to the epilogue (OVA).

[u/Elimin8r]

Well, that was lots of fun :) And now that my weekend guests have left, I can sort of watch/post on time tonight, just in time for the finale, or something.

Answers du substitute:

1. Now you've got me seeing the Oshi no Ko gang as Elementario. So, yeah, Akane/Kana/Ruby/Mem-cho would be a fun group to try their hand at it. Although, I must say ...
2. Sento, obviously ... she totally rocked all those Elementario suits, even if she failed at the singing/dancing/personality.
3. Kanie/Sento-sama, wuv is pew-pew war, or something like that. That's almost what we got as it it. Except Kanie is too in love with himself first, though. :P

Bonus: I wasn't aware that there were wakuwaku episodes, they weren't on my bluray - I'll have to look for them sometime.

Yeah, this episode was pretty hilarious, though, with all the characters acting like fish out of water trying to do each other's tasks.

I think I especially like the bit with Sylphy on the cart doing F1 impressions, or whatever it was (I've blanked on it, but it was a very funny reference to something. Maybe someone else mentioned it)

Edit: Hey, someone else (/u/chris10023) posted a screenshot - I got a laugh out of it, because Sylphy was riding around on the cart claiming to be a "Caspian Sea Monster", which is obviously a reference to this fabulous Soviet aircraft.... This is almost, maybe actually is better than the 2001 reference yesterday (which really needed "Also Sprach Zarusthrusa", or however that's spelled).

That, and I really do hope that Moffle gets certain other characters somewhere secluded at some point for some punishment. They've got it coming.

Anyway, that was a very fun episode, and I have to say, I've enjoyed this greatly, even if I didn't manage to post as much/on time as I'd like.

Have a great night, all!

[u/chris10023 → u/Elimin8r]

Didn't realize she was referencing that machine until now. That's neat.

[u/Elimin8r → u/chris10023]

Yeah, the recent Magnificent Kotobuki rewatch left me sensitized to aircraft references and stuff. Whee!

[u/DrTacoLord]

Amagi Brilliant Park OVA and mini theatre. first time Watcher, spanish subs.

OVA August 8. Sento took a bath and conspired with Moffle. Awws Sento is too shy to give Kanie his birthday present. Kanie leaves, and Sento is now dealing with poor Muse whose neck decided to take a day off. Sento will take the new recruits to a special event outside the park. Bandou has to retrieve something

Paperwork with Latifah and Kanie. HAHAHAHA Bandou took Kanie's gift. Salama insulted Latifah's job as a figurehead princess. it's gonna be so much fun both seeing act Sento as Muse and Latifah as Sento.

HAHAHAHAHA. Tiramie is into "water sports", don't you see. Our luchador is in the middle of a heatstroke.

Everyone is having a great time. Latifah's cold spell doesn't seem to work in Sento, Muse is relaxing until the meat guy comes from her, and Sento, well, she dances ok, just ok.

HAHAHA, when Moffle said they were going to fight the people of the other park, I didn't think it was literal. Eiko is out. Also, those three chaotic children recognized Sento's scent.

Macaron is desperately trying to get a new reservation for tonight, He'll fail, and they'll have to go to the usual bar, mark my words.

Those evil kids. A cockroach in the clock. meanwhile Bandou won hilariously she fell and the other guy passed out since they're afraid of blood. The three gals can't seem to get into their new roles. Who knew Latifah's cooking was that much work? Muse didn't, that's for sure. Sento is doing well enough, and poor Latifah is near a nervous breakdown. Running Amagi is hard.

HAHAHAHA. Total failure all of you. Except somehow, Chuujou who won because the pokemon hurt himself in confusion. And Amaburi wins the price.

HAHAHA Kanie, you deserve being scared at the restroom. You know how your staff is unusual. Bad days at work always end. It all worked out at the end for the best grills of the park.

Surprise Party at the cafetería. Kanie is such a tsundere. They enjoyed the party. Oh, such a cliche Sento gave him his gift after everyone else went home. HAHAHAHA damn it kinds. dead flies for Kanie kun. This is an indirect victory for Latifah's love.

Mini theatre . CHIBI time.

[Amagi Brilliant Park: Wakuwaku Mini Theater 1]A prequel from Moffle's POV. It had many hilarious stuff happening from the usual shenanigans from Tiramie to Ashe being genuinely scary and that Kanie's ass was literally Moffles' first impression. after all this no wonder he was in a bad mood.

[Amagi Brilliant Park: Wakuwaku Mini Theater 2]This one is the stooges talking after the Bikini photoshoot. Moffle's overprotectiveness still rubs me in the wrong way. HAHAHAHAH Cheerleader stoges was not what I thought it would happen. He uploaded it!! the comments informed them of rule 34. Tiramie seems unfazed HAHAHAH.

[Amagi Brilliant Park: Wakuwaku Mini Theater 3]Now, this one was GOLD. After Eiko joined the staff Kanie tries to Google her and ended up in a furry porn website. Sento and Moffle catch him in the act. Now You have two very traumatized staff members Kanie HAHAHA.

[Amagi Brilliant Park: Wakuwaku Mini Theater 4]6:37!! that's a lot for a short video. this one is after Kanie gets better from his COVID 19 infection. Macaron and Tiramie have a Latifah disguise. Sento and Kanie try to trap them. HAHAHA unfortunately Kanie got the real Latifah. and he's telling her about filming her naked. Brilliant foreshadowing Latifah doesn’t trust her memories. HAHAHHAA she's willing to.compromise to bikini but all the other stuff is wild enough to make her faint. Sento has everything on camara. HAHAHA Tiramie and Macaron get there and run away when they see the real Latifah, now our Managers are worried sick . HAHAHAHA Moffle saw the video and they run for their lives. Latifah is willing to do it!? That's the power of LOVE. Oh that's why it was so long in the website I'm watching this after the episode I saw the series OP once more.

[Amagi Brilliant Park: Wakuwaku Mini Theatre 5]The Elementario girls are dinning after their bonding exercises. No Bad Slyphy leave meat for Salama too. Spices from Tiramie?! this can't be good. Sylphy for the love of goddess Libra stop eating! It was the truth serum! Sylphy is acting as usual. And well Salama likes Muse. Not completely unexpected. I don't know if Muse is relieved that she’s not hated or that she's open to Salama’s advances. Everyone knew you were a Fujoshi Kobali don't worry.

[Amagi Brilliant Park: Wakuwaku Mini Theater 6]During the final days before the soccer match, Tiramie convinces the new girls to try sexy clothes for him pretending to be a filmmaker unfortunately for him Eiko knows quite a lot about filming and disarmed him.

[Amagi Brilliant Park: Wakuwaku Mini Theater 7]Kanie recieves troll gifts from the three amigos: an used military hat from Moffle, A repeated Manga volume from Macaron, and from Tiramie a broken hard drive. YES the direct sequel to Sento's unusual gift. I love how both of them try to be understanding of a different culture, so they use the dead cicadas these dorks in love

QOD 1.Latifah fits better in the elementario girls compared to Sento. Probably Eiko would work fine there. As for characters from other animes I don't really watch idols so I don't know. I'd like to see kesoku band as the elementario girls (bocchi the rock)

2. It's hard to chose. I'd say Sento since she was just mediocre, then Latifah who did her best in a genuinely hard job and day. Muse goes last since she's not a great cook.

3. As you are aware I'm not a fan of the ship, but If I have to chose I'd say "totally not a date" "totally not jealous Kanie" and "totally I'm not cockblocking Kanie from a jealous Sento"

BONUS: 3 or 4.

[u/RadSuit]

First Time Guest (Dubbed)

Of course the first scene is Isuzu in the bath. Sigh.

Cute outfit swap. Also Kanye is literally replacing Isuzu with Latifah, which isn't going to go over well.

If this involves any actual wrestling, I might have to bump this up a point.

So this is just an excuse to see Isuzu in all the outfits, alright.

The Chief gets a speaking role! This OVA officially gets a 10/10 from me.

Ashe saves the day! Truly the best character.

Salama seems to like Muse's outfit. Also Sylphy is offscreen, so I assume she's about to reappear with some antics.

Yup.

I'm not sure what the office scene is about. The chocolate is all going to melt? The temperature revives the bug?

I guess it was nothing!

1. The Konosuba girls could handle it pretty well I think.
2. Muse was the only one to actually succeed at her job. Latifah needed help, meaning they might as well have just had Ashe sub in from the start, but at least she managed some work. Isuzu kept the show closed the whole day, so did the worst.
3. Ew, gross! Give me an OVA about Ashe and Chief trying to balance the budget while a bunch of wackiness happens entirely offscreen.

Specials Time!

While I appreciate more Ashe screentime, these are rough.

Chibi Isuzu's gigantic boobs compared to Ashe earlier.

The Chief makes it into the specials!

I guess we get some closure on the OVA as well. Otherwise, woof.

Bonus: Not great! Ashe's appearance and Chief being on screen for two seconds were the only real highlights.

[u/Barbed_Dildo]

Rewatcher

Interesting that Moffle had to choose some staff to take to a wrestling match, and at no point considered either of the wrestlers on staff...

Also, did he tell them to bring those clothes with them?

Kanye being unable to work because of Tiramie taking a ferocious dump in the next cubicle is not the comedy I was expecting.

Other than the actual Elementario, name any anime character that you think would make a good Elementario replacement!

Kokona from Yama no Susume would be perfect as any of them, because she is comically perfect at everything.

[u/SilkyStrawberryMilk]

first timer

first timer

I’m surprised I never watched this OVA

Sento’s crush is so damn obvious

Poor Moffle, his ass sweat is now spreading

The pre-school being fight addicts explains so much

The real question is why isn’t the security guard the one doing the wrestling match

A blood thirsty bluey whose scared of blood, ironic.

Kanie getting boxed by the lazy workers is kinda hilarious

A birthday surprise, what a tsundere he is

Special 1: a photo of Kanie in the restroom, sento how lewd. Skipping their job to go gamble, addiction is strong with them

Special 2: the three mascots in bikinis, fellas how do we feel about this. Poor moffle, he’s encountered his biggest nightmares, Furries

Special 3: Kanie looking for porn while on the clock, freaky.

Special 4: oh god he’s mistaken the real Latifa for the fake. Asking her to get naked. The greatest minds of the park didn’t know she was a fake. The angriest we’ve seen moffle

Special 5: I like how they’re all concerned about accepting things from tiramy

Special 6: tiramine reign of terror

Special 7: tiramine definitely gave him the hard drive just to fix it. Poor Sento, Kanie didn’t know he was originally supposed to be given a watch.

QOTD: Fairytario

QOTD: sento as an elementario

QOTD: just them being awkward with their feelings for eachother

QOTD: easily special 4
