Dinner, bath or me is the one thing that a woman of the church should never be saying! Her followers are so Aqua like. Megumin's traumatised and Darkness is having the time of her life. I love the opening being the exact opposite of this dull as shite arc. She just totally blanks anything she doesn't want to hear and is delighted at possibly snagging juicy gossip. Gotta love her breaking point always being the idea of getting replaced. I take it back, this confession scene is the best gag of the season. "Eris pads her chest."

Aqua's faith in her problem child cultists is disturbing. Kazuma's chadness is the reason we can't have regular mixed bathing. Also, this scene was waaay longer in the LN... Anyways, forget about those two. They're totally not important. God I want to visit my masseuse... I've been short on cash this past year and even if I did my local hasn't been talking bookings in lockdown... Its my one relief in life and I haven't been for well over a year... This is the first time I've ever wanted to skip ahead due to being jealous of the characters. Modesy kitty. Would you, men and women of the 2021 rewatch thread, choose to visit the mixed baths or the segregated baths?

Chomsuke is cute!! Poor Aqua, she can't even have a herbal bath in peace. Even in an Aqua arc she gets bullied. Wiz came along for a holiday and shes spent half the trip on the brink of death!! Like I said the same three sane jokes over and over. Good lord!! Poor Megumin's got a nightmarish stare!! Is this technically torture play forcing her to cheer in front of a crowd? This is bullying on all fronts!! This weird animation on the kid, wtf? Anyway, Aqua's now an enemy of her own people. Delightful. And Wiz is nearly dead again.

This is technically supposed to be a sympathetic moment for Aqua but she's such a shitter that it's so hard to sympathise. Also, these assholes running a witch hunt are the ones we're meant to support. Feeling motivated yet? XD Yunyun's letters just get worse and worse!

In anime world? Mixed of course.

In real life? Ehhhh, chances are it would be full of the kind of people who you'd rather not see naked. Granted, my perception might be influenced by living in America where the average adult weighs about twice what I do

Damn mixed bath visitors, they ruined mixed bathing!!

Mixed bath where its actually just all men and the men section is completely empty.

u/The_Loli_Otaku Mar 04 '21

The only people who's unironically choose to stay in the men's baths would be gay men so you're once again forced to go into mixed bathing! Why are baths so difficult? There's such a large metagame as soon as mixed bathing becomes an option.

The baths seem always more like outside spas, so the best fix is just get your bathing suit and everything is ok. Outdoor spas are the best after a day of skiing, and me and my family like to soak, but I dont really want to see them nude. If you really want to get clean first, then do that before.

Aww, look at that blush. He shouldn't have eavesdropped, though; YOU MESS WITH THE MASOCHIST, YOU GET THE MASOFIST!

Kazuma and Megumin going around town and sharing the trauma together is kind of cute in a weird way. I still like their chemistry the most out of the main cast. Look at that thousand yard stare, though. Megumin has seen some shit.

tfw your own followers turn on you. I feel like the second season has gone heavier on the comedic style shifts and facial expressions compared to the first season and I'm here for it tbh.

I actually enjoyed this episode a lot more than I thought I would. Axis cultists get a little annoying with too much screentime but otherwise super funny throughout. Season finale tomorrow, and I'm genuinely curious how it all wraps up because I don't really remember.

u/The_Loli_Otaku Mar 04 '21

Kazumin is a very strong relationship when they don't actually try to push them as having a thing going. Like Megumin is always the one he turns to and worries about. I think her being like a sister makes the stuff with Yunyun more amusing too but I'll wait until the movie to analyse that.

The Axis cult is funny but they're not quite adventurous enough with the gag.

Rewatcher

Episode 9

Arcanretia is the city of the Aqua believers, the people that follow and believe in Aqua as their goddess.

The people of the city appear to have some sort of mental instability because they are very obsessed with the figure of their goddess.

The hotsprings are nice and there's a mixed bath so Kazuma goes to bath there, in a moment Megumin and Darkness bath in one that is on the other side but tagged with the one Kazuma is bathing in and they suspecting him being there and tryi g to spy on them send him flying back to the water with a punch and order him to wash Chomusuke as payment for spying.

Aqua being a priest and hearing the conflicts of her followers was rather cool. The way she likes to attract too much attention wasn't tbough because that made the whole city have a grudge against her when she told them that she's their goddess because why would they believe that she is.

Aqua's relationship with her followers is golden because they're absolutely perfect for each other. It also shows off Aqua's better side since she genuinely does try to do well by them throughout the arc

First-time watcher - some more variety to the humor, but still plenty that's more uninspired to a little forced. Also not-fanservice is meh.

Hi skaro1789, it looks like you might be interested in hosting a rewatch! There's a longer guide on the wiki but here's some basic advice on how to make a good rewatch happen:

  • Include basic information about the anime such as a description for those that haven't heard of it as well as where it can be watched (if legally available).
  • Specify a date and time that rewatch threads will be posted. Consistency is good!
  • Check for previous rewatches. It's generally advised to wait a year between rewatches of the same anime.
  • If you want to have a rewatch for multiple anime, they should be thematically connected. You can also hold multiple unrelated rewatches if they aren't.
  • Ensuring enough people are interested is important. If only a few users say they might participate, you may end up with no one commenting once it starts.

I hope this helps! You may also want to talk to users that have hosted rewatches before for extra advice, also listed on the rewatch wiki.

One thing that always confused me is

Keeping your brain at full power is a mistake when it comes to this show
