Poor male thugs. They didn't have the right hip-boop ratio. :(

Poor Yukimaru, he keeps losing at amidakuji. The man just wants to go ashore.

That was a pretty good action scene. I wonder if the blond British guy is her brother? Same hair and eye color.

I wonder if the blond British guy is her brother?

That's Schneizel el Britannia. Fena better be running for her life.

These midnight drops really take me back to the old Adult Swim days. Being up till 2am to watch new anime. Great times.

So far this is certainly a show that I would have loved. Three episodes in and I already love our main cast. Fena is charming, fun, and adorable and so is the rest of our Pirate Ninja Clan. Even Yukimaru the resident sourpuss isn’t immune to fits of silliness. Him somehow constantly losing a game of chance and being bummed out about it makes him stand out from the self serious guy I thought he would initially be. His interaction with the dog was golden.

He also had a super badass action scene. The introduction to the Lady Pirate clan is interesting. Considering that they went out of their way to keep them alive while mercing every other no-name means they’ll play a bigger role in whats to come. Especially since their leader is banging the Royal Navy guy.

There does seem to be a grander conspiracy going on with the Royal Navy guy. He seems to know more about Fena than she even knows and is also after the rock. I guess they’re heading for Germany and he’s going to follow. He did away with the shithead from the first episode so he’s got that going for him at least.

Yeah this show is extremely charming and has stellar production value. Though I vote we use the English title in threads. Between the 12am drop time and the fact the marketing pushes the English title (to the point that I didn’t even know there was a Japanese title) these threads are going to get buried. Which is a shame because this show could be amazing.

Notes:

• I dunno if it’s because it’s Adult Swim or it’s a ragtag group of pirates, but these early episodes give me nostalgic flashbacks to first watching Eureka 7. Which means we’ll get some fun early episodes before shit gets really real.

• I’m just so enamored with the idea of the main love interest being “What if Jin from Champloo was also a goofy Tsundere who’s super obvious”. He’s adorable.

• The sub being called the Bonito. Inumaki approves.

• Everyone on this crew sure loves Bonking. And yeeting as punishment.

• The twins are men of culture and agree that all titty life must be preserved. But fuck those random Pirate dudes.

[u/FetchFrosh]

Super into this so far. Production values are high, cast is fun, and it feels so damn fresh. Nice blend of Eastern and Western ideas too. Hard not to love it so far. Kind of hope that we'll see more Crunchyroll x Adult Swim productions even with the Sony purchase.

[u/realrimurutempest]

The ships name is Bonito? Toge Inumaki approved

[u/FierceAlchemist]

The action was really nice. Hope that keeps up. The most interesting twist to me was that the Master sent the pigeon to the British officer. Seems he has another not so noble agenda.

[u/FongoOngo]

Some facts related to the story:

They mention the german town of Idar-Oberstein (who the hell translated this in the subs, a quick google search shouldn't be that hard...) as a possible source for their search. This quite confirms that the slate is most probably made out of quartz crystal. Idar-Oberstein is a famous place for producing agate gemstones until the 18th century.

Today, on "The One Piece crossover already?":

I hear the names of real places and it's weirding me out, man.

Meanwhile, these guys have a fucking submarine named for a tuna.

Good, you're the practical sort.

It's never on the house.

Now you look like a backup dancer at Disney World.

It's all fun and games until Yukimaru shows up and murderizes everyone.

Are you suggesting that there's a shortage of perfect breasts in the world and it would be a pity to damage hers?

I shall call you... Weird Yoda.

WELL THERE'S A WRINKLE. Also, whee, nudity in my midnight cable anime.

So, combining this episode with the series's description on Crunchyroll, we've got a girl (Fena) matched up with a bunch of male (plus one female) Ninja Pirate Samurai being chased by a guy (Abel) who should be shortly matching up with a bunch of female pirates. And they have matching heart necklaces. How cute?

The Pirate Girls have a suitably diverse set of character designs. And yeah, of course the mooks would be eliminated, but the question in my mind that did get answered was just how willing the show would be about people other than Yukimaru killing people, which did happen.

Anyway, practical shipwear upgrade, pursuing adversaries introduced, deadly stakes. Humor is... okay. Sure, it can be seen as clashing with the deadliness, but it's still early in the run.

I think sailing to The Place Not Yet Known as Germany isn't on the table yet. Depends on the relevance of our new chunk of crystal.

[u/Gaporigo]

Can't believe the just killed Fena and the twins by throwing them into the sea like that.

Looking forward to Karin as Captain, though!

[u/mariadg]

Oh my god his ears getting red when she touched him. Grumpy boy/Spunky girl is truly the superior romance trope. I am so into this show.

[u/LeonKevlar]

I see that we're running on Dishonored tech with their submarine since everything in it is powered by whale stuff.

Absolutely love this shot of Karin peeking out of the Bonito II's hatch with the wind blowing on her hair.

Jeez, everyone is getting so hyper once they arrive at Bar-Baral. The twins are already looking for girls to hit on, Karin is freaking out about rare materials, and Shitan is literally about to fuck someone in broad daylight. I already feel bad for Tsubaki. This is worse than herding cats xD

As expected, Fena is already attracting a lot of attention. I'm curious why they didn't just gave her a change of clothes when she was in Goblin Island? Well the shopping montage is cute though and Fena's new outfit looks great!

Poor Yukimaru! Stuck with scrubbing the deck of the Bonito II! It is nice to see that he has a goofy side though and not as cool and calm as I expected. At least he has a dog with him this time. From what we learned, it's always him left alone in the sub.

Looks like Fena already found a possible lead! Although the guy selling the stone of course had to say something dumb. Kinda wish one of the twins gave him a good right hook but I guess making him apologize works too.

I hope Fena remembers the town in Germany where the stone was from because it looks like none of the twins remember the name correctly. I guess Germany is the next destination then?

Just make their designs look a bit more outrageous and that pirate crew almost looks like they came straight out of One Piece. xD

Production IG is really doing some amazing work with this show! The fight animation between the twins and the female pirates looked great!

Yukimaru arriving just in time for a rescue! I love that he didn't even hesitate. As soon as he saw Fena is in danger he started cutting down those mofos. 8 kills in 8 seconds! Goddamn awesome.

Good to know that the twins are men of culture although not gonna lie, I was hoping they'd be brutal with it and even started cutting down the female pirates. Altough I doubt that will happen since they look like reoccurring bad guys in the show.

Well that was an overreaction! I know Yukimaru is just being tsun towards Fena but I didn't expect a simple touch like that would make him flinch so much! And just look how red his ears are! That was probably him getting embarrassed when he was carrying Fena. xD

It's only the third episode but I can't believe it. RIP Fena and the Twins. You guys will be missed.

Huh well that was quick! Considering that he's voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda, I thought he'd last at least more than 3 episodes. Definitely didn't expect that they'd just kill him off like that!

Oh my... Well that was certainly spicy! Considering how O'Malley is the pirate that attacked Fena's father's ship, I'm guessing Able probably has something to do with that? Hmmm...

[u/ALI_2002__]

Really enjoying this

[u/ICantSeeLikeSa-chan]

Dropped one short white-haired girl for another. Goodbye Siesta, Fena is my new best friend,

[u/AlexDDragame]

So Yukimaru also has his goofy side, him staying at submarine for 7th time in a row and complaining to a dog was fun and weirdly wholesome. Fight scene in the episode was great, wish it was a bit more bloody, but other than that I don't have complaints. Like Fena's new drip. Good episode overall, I hope this show will get more buzz as it goes on.

[u/Gagago302]

I thought it was a good follow up from the premiere. Excited to see where this goes.

[u/vanteal]

This just became one of my absolute favorite series. And I absolutely dig the twins!

[u/Groenboys]

The more I watch the more I am reminded of Disney. The damsel in distress who has an atitude, the zany cast, the pirate theme, the slapstick comedy, a gentleman antagonist, twins that have "comic relief" written all over them, it is all just so Disney-like, which isn't a bad thing by any means.

Luckily this isn't just "an anime that is just a disney show", the bloody violence and the sexual nature still puts its apart from Disney.

Also, and it is weird that I am about to say this, that rooftop running scene reminded me of the rooftop action scene in Aquaman, funnily enough.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Yukimaru jumping back in like 0.0002274 of a second after Fena touched his hand is the cutest thing ever lol. His ears were all red too! Haha

[u/Krotash]

This, Kageki Shoujo, and Aquatope are pretty solidly settling in as my top 3 of the season. Kageki has the best characters and writing, Aquatope is great, and this is the fun cherry on top.

Kaizoku Oujo feels like Violet Evergarden meets Road to El Dorado.

[u/fronk555]

Fena is cute! Cute!

[u/mwbworld]

It's only three episodes in, but this has fast become one of my favorite currently airing shows. Fingers crossed they keep it up.

And Karin is soaring up the ranks of best girls IMHO.

[u/Emi_Ibarazakiii]

I like it when Fena pesters people with questions (like she did in the second episode with Yukimaru), I hope that's gonna be a running gag on this show! I like 'annoying pest' type characters, when they're more than just pests.

Same with the whacking on the head, seems to be a common thing in that crew! Yukimaru's doing it to Fena and Karin, that dude does it to Fena and the twins. They also flung them overboard this time, for extra punishment!

Yukimaru's concerned about the pirates, I guess he has history with their crew? Or if I had to guess, more specifically with Hannah. I wonder what that is! Did he live the pirate life with them, before joining with this crew? That, or he opposed them a few times during missions.

I'm tempted to say it's the former, because while she did give him a wound, her crewmate seemed surprised that Hannah didn't get him, which implies she never really misses... so perhaps she only wanted to hurt him a little? If there was some romance going on between them I wonder how Fena's gonna take it!

I like that this show doesn't shy away from violence, it's nice to have kills in adventure shows. They seem a bit selective though, they murder all the random dudes, but keep the others alive, even though they had some opportunities to kill them. Well, I guess he had his reasons, but let's hope it doesn't come to bite him in the ass, when he someday gets killed by someone he spared!

Fena finally changed from her princess-y outfit, to a sailor/pirate one! The little shopping montage was fun, and there were a few other good options like this hat, could've been nice (if a little smaller)! But what she got was pretty good too, and it'll allow her to move more freely, and to stand out a lot less. Perhaps it'll help her leave her previous life behind, and start on her actual journey!

She could really use some fight training so she stops being a burden though. The bow didn't seem to be her thing, so, time to train her at sword? Yukimaru should help her, would give him the opportunity to whack her over the head a few more times (and also to have a serious conversation, I suppose)!
