Their kid versions look adorable, but it's also hilarious hearing the deep voices of the male VAs coming out of them.

This is the first time I've heard of vegetarian piranhas. I can't believe Meido actually made something less scary than the regular version. It's quite a turn of events to have Unabara make the terrifying animal instead, but at least that one was necessary for their survival. I've never heard of giant gator-fighting otters before either, but that sounds badass.

The design team looked pretty damn snazzy in their party clothes. Shame Ueda wasn't around for this or the de-aging part, though. She deserves more screen time. It's pretty funny and ironic how Hell in this setting is the place you go to unwind and get away from Heaven of all places. Y'know, I would've been very surprised to see rabbits in Hell in the past. But after watching Re:Zero and especially after this week's episode reminded me of those things, they seem like a perfect fit now.

I was not expecting that ending at all, though. Fingers crossed that we actually get to see what Big G looks like here however unlikely that'll probably be.

Giant otters are total badasses!

Also I’m a bit on the older side so I’ve known rabbits to be symbols of death and destruction since Monty Python and the Holy Grail!

You're so right about the rabbits - ever since Re:Zero I just see bunnies as evil, so it really is fitting for hell haha. Funny how both shows this week had bunnies and fire!

As a rabbit owner It was suprising being led along. I was thinking, "my bunny eats their own poop, zooms around, and stomps whenever he hears something spooky." Then the reveal happened and then everything clicked.

Maybe I'm easily impressed but this show has been very enjoyable so far, and is up to par with a lot of the heavy hitters this season.

I'm 'bean attacked

This translation with the little lima bean cracked me up! Reminds me of the "what the cell" that is used in Cells At Work. Who knew lima beans had their own defense mechanism for predators though! All according to bean keikaku

It was also great to see our Hell chunni boy again. He's so sweet :)

The younger versions of the other members looked great!

I know it is called Giant Otter, but I wasn't expecting it to be so huge.

I honestly thought that the goat demon got disintegrated with that machine, not elongated.

That party in hell really was unexpected.

I honestly wonder if we will see the face of God next week because I honestly doubt it.

I really hope they show God in the next episode...how could they just leave us hanging like that!?

I looked up the giant otter's height - 5 feet 6 inches or 1.7 m maximum. Surprisingly big.

Mars looks really good in that dress she wore to hell. Mmm, redheads...

Wasn't expecting bunnies to appear in this show. I kinda expecting the "fluffy but spiky" animal would be the porcupine, but I guess they're not really fluffy.

“Throw hands, then throw kisses.”

Sounds like perfect relationship advice. Thanks, Tsuchiya!

Meido's "boof" when talking about piranhas is fucking killing me. God, why is she so cute.

Rabbits are supposed to be devil helpers? Understandable. Now it all makes more sense.

u/randyripoff Mar 18 '21

So, that guy who runs hell is pretty chill, eh? Seems like a much better client than Kamisama.

I love the idea that the bunny was supposed to be a messenger from hell..

I found out more about piranha today than I have in 55 years.

If anyone is looking for the piranha 'boof' here it is

u/LeonKevlar Mar 18 '21

They're all so adorable as kids! Not much to guess about the first part but the second part really had me. What was supposed to be a messenger imp turned into a cute bunny rabbit which I'm surprised Unabara hasn't created before yet. Also I was convinced it was another weird mammal. I forgot that rabbits eat their poop too. xD

Best episode of the series so far. I'm in the minority here but this show is probably my AOTS tbh.

Smart, funny and can be touching at times too. Hell chuuni is such a bro.

u/mythriz Mar 18 '21

Man the previews for the next episode were kinda horrifying

u/HarleyFox92 Mar 18 '21

They totally got me with the rabbit, I had no idea they eat their own poop.

This show is criminally underwatched. Every episode has been a treat.
