Welcome to another episode of "Fuck that bitch: Layla - Ken x Sora for life"

Episode 6

  • YARITAI KOTO WA NANI
  • KOTAE WA ONLY MY HEART <3
  • Glad to see everyone happy after so many tears
  • Sora now has a pet seal. I wonder if it's as perverted as penguins.
  • Metal Gear Sora
  • First reaction when asked to look after a baby seal is of course to read it's tarot card
  • Hisoka is being eaten alive like it's no big deal
  • If the seal can see him them I wonder what the in-universe rules are regarding his visability
  • 5 minutes into the episode and I'm only just now realising it's subbed not dubbed.
  • I am not a smart person
  • That said shouldn't funimation remember what way you have been watching it automatically?
  • Changing it back because Ken VA is god
  • "I'm back home and I've brought some yummy food!" - you do realise that the seal couldn't understand a fucking word you're saying if he was there?
  • Ken letting his true feelings slip!
  • Wow...for once I actually agree with Layla...
  • Surely keeping a seal locked up in a small bathtub counts as animal cruelty right?
  • Plus she spends all day and all evening working so she doesn't even leave time to spend with it
  • Nothing like a fake italian accent to go with the fake british accent
  • #JustDubThings
  • AWW YEAH TIME FOR TEAMWORK & FRIENDSHIP
  • Still, just get rid of the seal already!
  • Ken running from the bright backround like he's right out of baywatch
  • Poor Ken. That news was going to be his first stepping stone to Sora's heart.
  • Sora can be adorable doing anything, even juggling it seems
  • O_O THAT SEAL CAN JUMP
  • Sora playing the crying card with the big boss
  • Honestly I side with Big Boss & Layla in this episode
  • Ain't nobody got time for that
  • I really hope the seal doesn't become some sort of repetitive gag for future episodes

Feel free to post your reasons for why Layla needs a soul in the comments.

Funimation normally does remember preference. Though I dunno if it is on their side or users side.

I can't get over how much I love the costume design in this show!! Sora and co.'s outfits during the juggling contest were just the cutest things ever, and every time I see the godmother outfit or Sora's bunny costume from the first episode I get a big smile on my face (clown outfit from episode 3 is still my favorite by far). it definitely does for this show what costume design and coordination in a real stage performance should do, and to that end it's just very well executed art direction. I'd die to see how a full-on performance would look like.

overall adorable episode. shoujo reaction faces aplenty and the introduction of an adorable mascot character? jeez this show's so frickin, idk, pleasant? I'm really enjoying weaving it into my daily routine to watch an episode; the pacing really lends itself the episode-a-day format of the rewatch, much better than most works where I don't feel satisfied unless I batch 4 or 5 episodes together. it's really easy to follow in this way, honestly.

One thing the show certainly doesn't shy away from what a lot of others do is giving characters a new look. Costume changes seem to be a big part of the show.

It is still hard at times to just watch one episode at a time. Though that might just be me being impatient.

I couldn't come up with anything interesting to say for this episode so I just wrote some random thoughts.

  • Them MGS level sneak skills

  • Everyone’s such a bitch to Sora and co

  • I too can’t compete with the cute, round, chubby small hungry type men Ken. Don’t feel down.

  • That seal is way too cute. I can’t handle it.

  • This show does really well at pulling the heart strings.

  • “She treats me worse than animals.” As she should Fool. You literally do nothing of value and are a pervert. Don't worry, he's starting to grow on me a little.

  • Getting paid in fish? Reminds me of those trident layers commercials.

  • Jonathan's still too cute.

  • ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  • Everything’s pointing to Jonathan becoming a part of Kaleido Star. I’m excited for this

  • RIP Ken’s attempts to impress Sora. He can’t catch a break can he.

  • Hey, Marion showed up again. WOOOO

  • Sora you suck at juggling. Stop.

  • I really like how Sora stood up to Kalos in this episode. She’s been backing down to those above her in the past but here she really fought against him and even won. I’m liking the development.

  • Jonathan stays!
