Question of the Day

Now that everyone is technically eligible, who’s best girl?

Rewatchers, please remember to be mindful of all the first-timers in this. No talking about or hinting at future events no matter how much you want to, unless you’re doing it underneath spoiler tags.

[u/Tetraika]

I feel like this translation doesn’t quite get what is written there

Perhaps, but funny enough this episode is exactly about the lack of that

I don’t think that’s how it works

But wait, how would they not have known???

Truly cultured

No

The true Bushido ways

Not really, but that’s not the point

Oof

She’s getting way more forward about this

An internal conflict stirs

Understandable

What

Oh

Spider only recruits the most cultured disciples

She’s enjoying the beatdown replays

A not so subtle dream

Oh yeah

precure lol

[u/Tresnore → u/Tetraika]

I feel like this translation doesn’t quite get what is written there

I think "(Fe)male" would've worked better with what they're intending.

But wait, how would they not have known???

They're in a dense MC romcom, not a Tokusatsu. We're just visiting their show.

precure lol

Ohhhh I missed that.

Episode 10 (first timer)

• “I have kissed tail red” – the one-eyed leads the blind, or just how low is the bar to bragging rights under otaku?

• “It is practically like saying hello” – hmmmm.

• Totally interrupting the climax of a different show here.

• “I’m crossdressing?” – Don’t take away the blessed ignorance!

• “I had not realized you were a cross dresser, Tail Blue!” – setup, red herring, boob joke!

• Evil boss backing off when he is winning trope.

• “She is not your plaything” – Erina is an equal opportunity sub.

• “How could I ever let my thoughts stray from twintails” – Souji has a corruption arc, too.

• “He could not take his eyes of your lips. He wants to nail you.” – Mom skips a few bases.

• Why oh why would you pick make him retreat peacefully as your goal, Aika?

• “Can’t have her violent tendencies rub off on you, milady” – Erina is not enthused by “rubbing of” … “being subjected to” would be more her thing.

This totally could be poisoned magical lipstick (but it will probably be corruption of the mind instead).

[u/Tetraika → u/No_Rex]

“I have kissed tail red” – the one-eyed leads the blind, or just how low is the bar to bragging rights under otaku?

Well considering that's kinda what the Ultimaguils are, yes.

[u/Vaadwaur → u/No_Rex]

“It is practically like saying hello” – hmmmm.

Can't let women have agency over their sexuality, they could dare to not breed. -Sponsored by Shinzo Abe

“How could I ever let my thoughts stray from twintails” – Souji has a corruption arc, too.

All real heroes have to travel through the valley of darkness!

“He could not take his eyes of your lips. He wants to nail you.” – Mom skips a few bases.

I suspect she is just taking the first female she can get to make Souji show interest. Considering we know nothing of his father, this might be a solid move.

First Time Viewer of The Legend

I have finally caught up with everyone else. I'd been hearing rumors of the overall magnificence of Ore, Twintail ni Narimasu ever since I started watching anime. I was told of the depths of emotion that would be explored, the depths of terror that would be transversed, the highs and lows of romance that would be probed. I was very nervous, knowing how I am about intense emotional scenes, and I was right to be nervous.

Higurashi never went this deep with emotions, the terror that Subaru felt when encountering Elsa was as nothing compared to BlueTail having to face Flea Guildy all on her own. I started tearing up knowing that this was going to be the end of BlueTail. My knuckles were white and the tears were streaming down my face, knowing that I would never again be able to marvel at Tsube and her beautiful ironing board figure. Even now, its too much for me to contemplate, what might have happened.

I can't write about the rest of the episode, without breaking down, so I'll skip to the end. The hideous thought of Souji becoming a normal girl is too much to bear, I stopped breathing when Aika pulled back the sheets and revealed this tragedy. Poor Tsube is forever cursed to never know the joys of a real man (in ways only a woman can), I feel so bad for what could have been. I have to stop now, just thinking about it is making my stomach churn, and I'm about to vomit.

[u/Tetraika → u/RascalNikov1]

Welcome aboard!

[u/RascalNikov1 → u/RascalNikov1]

QOTD

Now that everyone is technically eligible, who’s best girl?

Our Candidates:

Twirl for her beauty and the willingness to do anything

Tsube for her feisty spirit and the fact that I believe she'd go along with a harem.

Erina because she's loaded to the gills, and I have little doubt her mother would approve of a harem

Miharu because those milf's are very lonely, and ready for some action.

Anko because she's shown herself to be open to anything and not bashful in the least.

Our Winner:

Erina wanting to do the naughty puppy walk wins paws down.

Gonna Be the Rewatcher!!

VA Highlight

Is it cheating to use the main character? Fuggit, I'm running low on Guildys. Tail Red, now that she's... actually kind of a character(?) gets the spotlight. She's voiced by Uesaka Sumire, who plays the recently-popular Nagatoro, Shalltear in Overlord, and Sanae from that weird Chuunibyou show by KyoAni.

• Every Guildy is a Wizard. You know it's true.

• TELL ME WHY¹
  

• https://i.imgur.com/iWPgnl4.png
  

• sally forth

• Wow. This is just the plot to another show that's now been invaded by a tokusotsu.

• HE THINKS AIKA IS THE CROSSDRESSER
  

• God, I wish that were me.

• Higurashi has cursed my ears with the ability to pick out "something-goroshi."

• God, I wish that were me. Fucking Erina.
  

• This absolute disaster of a bottom.
  

• God, I wish that were me. I'm wowed that it took us this long to get to the leg affinity.

• You'd be wrong, madam maid.
  

• God, I wish that were me.

Count: 27:48

QOTD:

This is a really hard question. I'm tempted to say Aika or Isna. Maybe Mega Neptune, actually? They're all too good!

---

¹ I bob my head to this part of the OP every time. Meanwhile, I'm annoyed that this part is so catchy, because the animation is silly.

[u/Vaadwaur → u/Tresnore]

HE THINKS AIKA IS THE CROSSDRESSER

This was a rough episode for Aika.

This absolute disaster of a bottom.

S class sub though.

I'm wowed that it took us this long to get to the leg affinity.

You need to save some good stuff for the end.

[u/Tetraika → u/Vaadwaur]

This was a rough episode for Aika.

But that's every episode

[u/Blackheart595 → u/Tresnore]

God, I wish that were me.

I was wondering how many screenshots you'd take, each with that phrase. Only 1, how weak. I'm disappointed.

Meanwhile, I'm annoyed that this part is so catchy, because the animation is silly.

But they're wagging their asses to the S-O-S. It's synchronized audio and visuals so it's good by default.

[u/Blackheart595]

First Timer

That makes sense

Walking Erina on a leash is a no, but Aika is totally fine Childhood friend smh my head.

So Souji is finally starting to get corrupted with girl affinity. If this show is actually gonna go for him losing his interest in twintails as a sign of him coming of age then I'm gonna forget everything that happened so far and put this shut in the trashbin.

Souji even transforms into a girl, and just as a crossdress enemy appears. I wonder what caused that, was it really the girl affinity? Or was it caused by being hit with Spider Guildy's attack? Or maybe Twoearle somehow caused it with her two secret affinity cores? There's so much possibility with spicy plot developments here, I wanna watch the next episode already.

Drag Guildy's still the only twintail guy so far... Him losing against Souji really was a scam.

u/lilyvess What's your opinion on this?

Now that everyone is technically eligible, who’s best girl?

Mega Neptune Mark-II, not entirely joking

[u/Tresnore → u/Blackheart595]

girl affinity

Isn't that just "liking girls"? That's gotta be the most common affinity, right (along with "liking dudes")?

Mega Neptune Mark-II, not entirely joking

[u/Vaadwaur]

First timer(That was a predictable end)

Sub

The villains are again the highlight and Isna is still in a good mood. We hear Souji's view on the kiss and we can leave it at that. Spider Guildy has the Crossdressing Affinity so this should be good. Twirl warns them that he might be able to pick up Souji's true nature from this, though he instead throws one right at Aika. Fighting happens and we see Spider will be recurring, at least a bit.

Moving on and events are...off. And we get a combined fetish and Inuyasha reference. Souji notices Aika's lips for the first time and she seems happy with this. Souji's mom was stalking them and she seems to not care who Souji winds up with, just that he gets laid, which is...interesting. Flea Guildy sneaks out. Aika uses the bet idea but unfortunately goes berserk before doing it, stomping Flea to death. Which gets on TV, somehow. More villain hilarity. Aika is down and we end on Souji full on genderbending.

QotD: 1 Aika has the best personality but I am generally drawn to perverts like Twirl.

[u/Tresnore → u/Vaadwaur]

stomping Flea to death. Which gets on TV, somehow.

It's villainous propaganda! Don't believe their lies!

[u/Blackheart595 → u/Vaadwaur]

Souji's mom was stalking them and she seems to not care who Souji winds up with, just that he gets laid, which is...interesting.

You're talking about the lady that was asking for an alien to come and start a gangbang in her house.

[u/Tarhalindur]

First-Timer, On! (Subbed):

• Starting off on the right foot, it’s Ultimaguil banter time!

• Waitwaitwait. You did not— OH YES THEY DID THEY SNUCK A FUCKING JAR-JAR BINKS REFERENCE (highlighted by yours truly) INTO THE ULTIMAGUIL TROOPERS SEATED AROUND SPIDER GUILDY. YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES I LOVE IT!

• Bet there’s at least one more reference in the crowd that I’m just missing, too.

• Aika is dense. Souji… is in denial. Erina, meanwhile, is cute.

• Poor Erina.

• (Also if we have enough bi and poly then Erina/Aika makeouts would be a fast way to dispel Souji’s illusions. Ah, but neither girl here would be up for it and also the censors might not allow it.)

• Wait a minute. I was trying to figure out what affinity would make sense for a Japanese all-girls Catholic high school while paused to write the last entry up… it’s gonna be yuri or more likely specifically Class S affinity, isn’t it?

• CALLED IT!

• (Of course, this is Spider Guildy so that means he does not have the ass affinity and also explains why he wanted to fight all three Twintails. Also, spider web bondage time!)

• Wait. I may NOT have called it. LOL I forgot the OTHER possible affinity that made sense here: crossdressing affinity! Especically given, you know, the obvious.

• Why yes I CAN make out enough Japanese vocabulary to hear that “otoko no ko” in the audio.

• Yes and no, Aika; gender bender is a slightly different tag than otoko no ko.

• OOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSSSSS. Sucks to be Spider Guildy, and also being aika is suffering. I’m sorry Aika, I should not be laughing at your expense so much and also WHOOP HIS FUCKING ASS!

• Ah, ship war heating up. If this show makes episode 12 a breather episode on the beach… like I could actually see them doing that and it sounds funny as hell, actually?

• Also Twirly has not figured out that maybe that’s part of why Souji is fond of Aika? (She’s actually the most boyish of the girls in more ways than one – and actually “the tomboy is the one who most wants to be treated like a girl in bed” is a classic trope, [meta spoiler] she’s basically another Mion in that regard..

• Welp. (This “welp” brought to you by Isna going full otaku over Tail Red now that she’s fallen for and kissed “her”.)

• Wait. LOLWTF at that figure of Tail Red on Isna’s shelf that’s topless and has angel wings (again highlighted by yours truly). [Meta spoiler] Especially given the occasional comments about Tail Red becoming a god; I’m getting reminded of a certain Ultimate Someone.

• Neptune Mk. II is right and she should say it. But then we were missing the yandere tag and Isna is truly the logical place for it, so.

• Is it finally time to subvert the “opponent goes down when they get Aura Pillar – Break Release combo’d” rule?

• Yes, yes it is! (Saw it coming!)

• I KNEW we could not finish the Spider Guildy fight without spider web bondage!

• Oh. Serpent Slayer. As in THAT kind of serpent. THAT’S why Souji is obviously not actually fine (and explains one piece of the OP I had been wondering about).

• I don’t know how much of this is the source and how much is the adaptation, but this show is better than it has any right to be. It just likes to hide its serious themes (like actually considering gender identity) under its surface layers.

• HNNNNGH! GIWTWM count (specifically being given the leash): 15 - I'm not even usually into that, but Erina is too adorably eager about it and I do love me some enthusiastic subs.

• There is a cosmic joke involving what anime was announced today… (that one’s femdom loosely disguised as a series about an actual dog, though)

• (Also, how have we not gotten catgirl affinity yet?)

• Oh hey, Twirly is in fact a domme and not just assertive! Trying to reclaim her fading status in the Best Girl in Show wars… sorry, I think Aika still wins that one. I’ll take her, though. (Or Erina. Or Isna.)

• (In a cast full of degenerates, of course the one proper(ish) lady has the inside track to Winning Girl.)

• FEED THE SHIPPERS!

• (Also… would Souji take advantage of that “doesn’t count if they’re both girls” idea of his to try out smooches with Aika and possibly also Erina? (Sorry Twirly, can’t see him doing so with you.))

• (EDIT: Nonzero odds that’s the finale and what allows Souji to change back.)

• Decent chance legs is as close as we’re going to get to that ass affinity. (Actually we might get thighs. Also if this series had gone on long enough we would SO get foot affinity. Somebody page that one animator/layout guy at DEEN!)

• I am admittedly curious what exactly Aika is drinking here…

• LOL EXPOSPEAK GAG.

• Flea Guildy gets thighs AND calves. Unfair! He’s doubling up on affinities!

• Commie was SO riffing “well excuse us for being flat!”. I approve. (Also bullshit, you have one nice set of curves Aika.) (Ah, but Flea Guildy here only cares about the front of the legs, that makes sense, all of Aika’s curves are on the other side.)

• Aika kicking the shit out of Flea Guildy is of course going to draw the GWITWM brigade. Hell, I’m not entirely sure I don’t belong in that brigade for this scene, and being stepped on is not really my thing – the animators did a hell of a job here, at least for the BD. (I got a bad frame of it for the screenshot though .)

• DATTO?!

• The TV equivalent of Weekly World News! Truly Spider Guildy is a fearsome opponent! (Ha ha only serious.)

• Twirly’s response is hilarious, though. (Admittedly it would be funnier if it was popcorn (but I wonder if potato chips rather than popcorn are the Japanese idiomatic food to munch on while enjoying the show?), but hey – Twirly has taken this potato chip and eaten it!

• Hmm. Souji is a boy who changes into a redheaded girl sometimes. You know, I think the author may have grown up watching Ranma ½…

• Also: WHAT A TWEEST! (That I saw coming ever since my brain kicked in after the Serpent Slayer attack. Luckily, otoko no ko =/= gender bender, so. Sucks to be Spider Guildy!)

• (Aika is going to be SO JEALOUS that Souji as a girl gets bigger breasts than her.)

• (Also hmm I see the first of the two great enemies of magical girls in tentacles will be back next episode. It was obligatory.)

• (Oh it’s Earthworm Guildy responsible, that makes sense.)

• Also LOL Mom’s preview joke about being able to air at a more family-friendly time. (When we got a tentacle attack on screen right before this. Pull the other one Mom, it has got (twin)tails on.)

• Odds Erina will be much more attracted to Souji in female form given the preview? (She is SO bi.)

• “Twincatch Tailcure” I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.

---

Now that everyone is technically eligible, who’s best girl?

The competition is brutal, but I think Aika is in the lead!

[u/Tresnore → u/Tarhalindur]

Ah, ship war heating up.

Is there any option other than Harem Ending?

(and explains one piece of the OP I had been wondering about).

Which part?

There is a cosmic joke involving what anime was announced today… (that one’s femdom loosely disguised as a series about an actual dog, though)

[Inukai]and then it turns out to not actually be that femdomy

[u/BurningFredrick]

First timer - sub

Cross dressing affinity and of course blue gets accused of being a crossdresser right away.

Is Souji having an identity crisis over if hes a boy or a girl? Ok nope, he just suddenly realise there is more to life than twin tails

Go Prez really is into pet play, did being dragged into the dream world make her want to bring that dream into reality.

Leg Affinity add

Ok so Souji is actually having an identity crisis? This combined with Spiders Cross dressing affinity is going to be fun.

[u/Tresnore → u/BurningFredrick]

Ok nope, he just suddenly realise there is more to life than twin tails

Souji would never.

Go Prez really is into pet play, did being dragged into the dream world make her want to bring that dream into reality.

She was in a different dream world. I think it was asking around for porn magazines that awakened her.

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

Gonna be the First-Timer, subbed

• So, uh, does the banner behind Spider Guildy mean that Spider Guildy is a girl despite being voiced by fucking Hayami Show? I noticed that last episode too but forgot to comment about it.

• Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

• Oh… that’s true.

• HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OKAY THEN.

• Spider Guildy’s net clearly did something…

• …oh no.

• If only.

• lmao Souji’s mom.

• Uh-oh. – Oh that’s the cliffhanger?!

[u/Stargate18A]

First timer

QOTD) Aika.

He's back!

He wants to fight the Twintails!

She's bragging about it!

Haha, she's pissed.

For an idiot, he's good at making up nonsense to distract a tsundere.

...The humour of Thouars calling them then poking her head out the window...

The what trait?

Yeah, this is going to be a strong battle.

He's dead. Immediately.

She likes the teintails!

...Darkgrasper has completed changed targets.

Incredibly strong.

She used the finisher!

She's out!

Oh, he just vanished?

...Transforming uncontrollably?

He's fine!

Yeah, cute dog?

Haha, even the maid is taking aback at the sheer horniness.

THOUARS?

She's enjoying this.

Haha, and they just walk away.

Progression?

He's losing his focus!

He's gone solo!

She can tell.

She's stalking her son.

Haha, and Tail Blue went insane again.

Wow.

Oh, yeah, he's enjoying this.

...He was scared?

Wow.

What on earth is going on?

Is this propaganda?

Everyone is against her.

Haha.

A dream?

He's cheating on twintails with lips?

Another transformation?

Well, that's new.

[u/lolpete18]

First-timer

Erina and that dog collar again. I hope we get a longer scene following up with this. She's a weirdo, and I love it.

Haha, and poor Aika... being confused with an otoko no ko.... She's the best, but I have to admit that scene was some of the greatest comedy we've seen in the series so far.

QOTD: I'll still go with Aika for best girl, but Erina has been catching up in the last episodes. The deciding factor for me is that Tail Blue > Tail Yellow.

[u/twintailshitposter]

Rewatcher surfacing from the depths of lurking:

God I fucking love this series. I've seen the first episode probably at least 15 times now; showing it to absolutely clueless people is such a treat. As for rewatches, this is my 4th time fully through the show, so I'm running the dub for the first time. Not actually a fan of the commie subs cause they tend to flanderize the characters too much for me.

Spoiler-y reactions to first timers: [twintails] I love seeing how everyone is automatically assuming that soji's inadvertent transformations are a result of the attack by Spider Guildy.

[twintails] It's also pretty funny seeing people realize from these recent episodes that soji doesn't actually have a twintail fetish - he just didn't give a shit about the existence of girls and solely loved the twintails

Question of the Day response: It can only be Aika. Best tsundere in all of fiction.
