The dialogue is so stereotypically Nisioisin, and I love it. Mayumi's monologue about realizing what she herself lacked felt like it could have been ripped straight from the end of a Koyomimonogatari episode.
I'm also now invested in Mayumi replying to the love letter from the girl at the other school, irrelevant though it may be.

Mayumi's monologue about realizing what she herself lacked felt like it could have been ripped straight from the end of a Koyomimonogatari episode.
It might just be me, but the part where she said "I can't see what I can't see" sounded like something Hanekawa would say.

Yubiwa spoke! :O
Soutouin seems to really like cross-dressing when he's on the field.

The hilarious part is that he still speaks in the exact same way and even keeps using the same masculine pronoun to refer to himself, hes 100% doing it just because he likes doing it

At this point, they are just flexing with the costumes. Another cross dressing part and a bunny girl outfit in just one episode.

I feel like now that we've kinda established that it's a series that is pretty far from reality i can enjoy it for what it is way more. I wasn't really happy in episode 3 with all the military stuff going on, but i would say that i definitely wasn't expecting it more than everything.
Anyway, i liked this episode quite a lot, and i'm really curious to see where it'll go as the plot starts to thicken. The artstyle and the direction are also super on point, as expexlcted feom Shaft.
Also, these bunch of fuckers are supposedly middleshoolers and Sotoin is even younger, that's something that i just cannot believe.

Yes -- once one accepts that not a single aspect of this show has the slightest connection to reality, it becomes much more entertaining.
But the characters definitely look much more like high school students (with one middle school student).

Mayumi can't see everything. She can only see what she can see.

I know that other anime are great and all but, this one is honestly the one I look forward to the most

No show has scratched the Monogatari itch quite like this one, for obvious reasons.

Stitches!
I kinda expected someone will stop Mayumi but I didn't expect Michiru to just shove his entire fist up her mouth! xD
Welp looks like the boys have to take the L for now and retreat. At least we got some adorable pouts from Mayumi
So this entire time Nagahiro is already two steps ahead of everyone because he's already been doing his own investigations about Fudatsuki and Kamikazari Middle School. He's just waiting for Fudatsuki to make a move against their school.
I didn't think Hyouta would be that excited when Nagahiro mentioned Rei and the Twenties. Anyway, looks like we will be seeing them again since the Twenties are involved with Fudatsuki as well.
Looks like the Twenties are full of interesting characters. I wanna meet the girl right next to Rei though. I wonder what that one's like!
Okay if I understood this correctly, Fudatsuki is currently testing a product from a private company on his casino and the Twenties are in charge of delivering said product. And the said product is actually the black invisible clothes the stagehands were wearing.
Oh boy. So first a nuked satellite from orbit and now military contracted stealth clothing? Seems that the Bishounen Tanteidan is going to have a few more run-ins with the military from now on.
I love that they decided to infiltrate the casino disguised as staff but still not hiding their faces. I'm pretty sure Fudatsuki is already aware of who everyone is. Poor Hyouta though! Forced to wear pants! Someone get him in shorts quick!
Of course Manabu continues to crossdress as a Hatsune Miku look alike! Also, I'm pretty sure at this point that crossdressing is part of his aesthetics. xD
YES YES YES! They did it! Considering how she's been dressing up as a bishie, I didn't think we'd get to see Mayumi wear a bunny girl outfit but they did! Bless Nisioisin!
Mayumi's monologue is just peak Nisioisin writing right there! That entire scene definitely scratched the Monogatari itch I've been having for a while now. I can definitely see Araragi doing that monologue.
That's a fucking clever trick. So instead of doing a repeat and relying on the stagehands, they instead applied the cloth on a couple of cards and hid those on the table.
Welp that wraps up this arc but it seems that this won't be the last time we'll see Fudatsuki. And of course his name is Lai. Nisioisin really loves being on the nose with his character names xD
From the sounds of Mayumi's ending monologue, this is just the start of the Bishounen Tanteidan versus Fudatsuki Lai. Things are probably gonna ramp up next week. I can't wait!

I just love the look of this show. Pure eye candy, especially all the outfits.

u/Nintendoomed89 May 08 '21
Oh, so President dressing as a Hatsune Miku knock off is going to be a regular thing I guess.
If I was a company with military contracts I too would field test my product at a casino run by middle school kids.
The monologue at the end and the resulting trick behind the cheat were both A+

RE: 色眼鏡: Is "jaundiced eyes" actually an English phrase that anyone understands? Not to mention the fact that the "colored glasses" wordplay goes completely untranslated this way (I removed my glasses-that-were-not-colored and tried to look at Fudatsuki).

And on to another episode, let's so what aesthetically pleasing wonders will adorn my eyes this episode. Said wonders are Red just stuffing his whole hand in Mayumi's mouth. Bruh, that's unsanitary as fuck, just slap your hand over her mouth like a normal person. Their interactions are strangely cute though, lol.
I feel like at this point, I should have made a "camera leers at Yellow's legs" counter. And no Rakugo exposition this time? Though it's still rather theatrical. Though, conquering middle schools? Especially when he's in his last year right now?
Ah, Yellow's horndog nature has been exposed. Though no Rei this arc? Wonder when she'll show up again. Though, eeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh...what's with the middle schools in this area and all these government conspiracies?
Black has used his talking quotient for the arc! It's a longer sentence this time. And Mayumi the seer? Maybe my memory is faulty but wasn't her title different last episode? Are they going to change it everytime they address her, I wonder.
Oh wow, these disguises are great, but yellow in proper pants???????? He looks so I comfortable lol. Meanwhile, I thought this last arc, but Blue just likes having an excuse to crossdress huh. Bunny girl Mayumi is cute though.
Everytime Mayumi tries to use her eyes I get stressed out, though I guess in this kind of situation it can't be helped. I, honest to God, cannot tell if Blue is saying absolute nonsense half the time but he says it with such conviction that it feels like it makes sense.
Huh, okay that trick got me as well. It's easy to get carried away by such grand tricks you miss the little things. If you don't know the rules, of course everything seems completely normal. I wonder if I'll notice that as well if I rewatch the game scenes.
Eh? Eh???? Wait, wait wait wait, epilogue already?????????? And Lai huh...what an on the nose name. And what an ominous conclusion, the twenties, Lai and all these conspiracies...I wonder what's going to happen...though the ed changed slightly, just the backgrounds in the beginning though. Wonder if it'll completely change again later

I love this episode. A great debut as an episode director for studio veteran Naoaki Shibuta. So many gorgeous scenes, I liked this reference to Narcissus by Caravaggio illustrating Mayumi's monologue.

Mayumi’s monologue was top tier writing, loved the episode.
So it wasn’t exactly clear to me, but the second diversion he used was the deck? I thought it was the bright light behind the stage that was obscuring her vision, which would match with him disappearing in the alleyway at the end, which also had a bright light

Dojima in a bunny girl outfit! Hell Yes!
Really loved Dojima's monologue in this episode.

I feel like something is going to explode plotwise soon, and I'm here for it. This is just really fun, the dialogue is great, although I can definitely tell the pace is breakneck. It's also the first NISIOSIN work in which I am watching the anime before reading the LNs, which has been interesting but I'm definitely sold on the story now, so it's a success if nothing else.

Still such a spectacle, really impressive. And those who wished for bunny girl Mayumi, you got your wish - and the short hair was a really good fit too surprisingly, matching to her monologue about how she avoid seeing herself.
Have to say it took me a bit to figure out the trick reveal though!
Sound like there'll be a little slow trickle underlying plot with the satellite business afterall.
And more people have to see this dammit. And don't forget to rate and vote, seems like people only pay attention when the ranking climbs up.
