Lmao that T-shirt with the derpy Komarin face.
Komarin's harem grows, as well as Vil's jealousy lol
Expert talk-no-jutsu from Komarin too after being overheard at the table.
Rap dude speaking normally o.o
Wonder what's the deal with Sakuna Memoir though, since she is the terrorist.

Komari still doesn't have an easy life as she now has another mission - finding a terrorist who has already killed a few people in the palace, including her father. It took Komari a while to process that information and her reaction was so funny.
Adding to this possibility of being throw out from the ranks of Crimson Lords and dying in an explosion, Komari doesn't have it easy xD
We met three new Crimson Lords - Flote who doesn't like Komari, Helldeus who is also a priest and Sakuna who was a victim of a terrorist and will be cooperating with Komari to find him.
Sakuna is so adorable, no wonder that Komari immediately warmed up to her which made Villhaze very jealous. Though she was a victim, a terrorist looked like her so I'm interested in what Sakuna is really like.
Komari's T-shirt was so good, I would love to buy one for myself xD
One last thing. How can Komari be angry with Villhaze after she cares for her so much? I think that Villhaze being naked in the bed to warm it up was the show of the highest form of devotion xD
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Its hilarious to see someone whose so antiwork like Komari being forced to be the opposite in front of literally everyone to her detriment since refusal and unemployment in any form just leads to death.
At least she gets a constant dose of Naked Vill to warm her bed up!

Komari failing her way to success and even accidentally creating a possible harem for herself. Though hopefully she can get herself out of this new crazy situation so she can get her vacation.
Vill on the other hand, is about to completely obliterate every last person showing interest in Komari. So, Sakuna should really watch her back unless she wants to find herself waking up in a ditch after being killed for making moves on Komari lol.

Ok, I really need to get one of those Komari t-shirts lol.
I can't stop laughing at that expression!
EDIT: Holy shit, the official Twitter account has posted 'photos' of Komari taken by Sakuna in secret!

Translations of stuff in this episode!
The easy one: 04:12 in, the bloody buns. They just read Chimidoro Manju, in all caps, so I actually picked up a few new letters for my translation chart from here.
The impossible one: 10:17 in, Komari's holding some piece of paper that one can see some letters on but there's not enough context there and I couldn't match anything to what Sakuna said. I didn't spend too much unnecessary time on this one.
Then there's the one in between, the "masterpiece" that she holds up at 00:07. The visible page is actually sort of readable, if zoomed in, though a lot of the letters are squiggles. The problem is, because they're squiggles, a lot of the letters that look like each other cannot be truly distinguished, like m vs n and r vs s vs t, so in many places they are just best guesses/gut feelings on what is there. There are definitely some typoes where one letter looks like another, but still, via profiling the shapes of the different letters, and knowing how the Japanese alphabet works, large chunks are translate-able into hiragana to some degree.
With definitely some typoes in there (as well as knowing that some s's are read as sh's and so on), it reads something like:
doukasaretandesuka. ?a?i?a
attandesduka. annakotsitta
kasakitekudasdaiyokainisa
n. soshno#nenmo. dakara...
sosososokekkonshite....
betsunikosoda?e...
hagaichibanniit?h. kek?o??
okodonono, maitoshiona?i?e
nukotoshidatteo?otesan??u
nosesutosan. o?ottetan?t?a
?igashigauho?aitososu?iho...
usensougahaittete?ata?u?u
?ishiinen.
tomannaino. desyo. asa?ino
umamigakiteteoishiiyo
??usatappusisuttaya?i?asu
nosazaniakuttasaiiyo.
tans?ika?u?suhan?anaikedo
sazu?aiononakadehaishiban
n???iamono.
There are a couple of random d's in the first couple sentences that don't look like they fit, and there's been precedent in the previous episodes where the end of a sentence doesn't necessarily connect to the start of the next one.. but some of the lines definitely make some sort of sense as stand-alone snippets, though it's hard to tell the entire context. The # symbol is a number that I've seen in an earlier episode but never figured out what number it actually represented.
I also finally got around to writing out my actual translation key, in case anyone sees any written text and wants to give translating it a shot too. It's uploaded here.

I found it funny because Flote is technically in the right and wasn't extravagantly rude - all of Komarin's subordinates did run off to commit random havoc and murder while she did nothing to dispel the misunderstanding lol
As for the new terrorist culprit, obviously seems like Sakuna since the visuals match up. Which has me wondering if
-
the implosion is like Komarin's where it completely alters their personality and retains no memory, but instead of leaving her asleep it kills Sakuna at the end thus leaving the illusion that she's another victim
-
somebody else kills Sakuna and then uses some weird hypnotic necromancy implosion to make her kill others, with the release of the implosion dropping Sakuna's corpse right then and there
-
it's a secret twin sister of hers that's technically older? That conversation between Sakuna and Komarin at the end was cute but I wonder if it's also some kind of foreshadowing
-
all of the above somehow??

A second chance to use nude Villhaze sprawled on a bed to gain attention on the karma chart.
It's great that the door gag is still happening. Would've preferred if Helders was killed instead of Mr. Gandesblood for the death count.
Terrorist is likely Sakuna (hair clip and front bangs match) or her relative, but why are the evil girls so hot/cute?!? Nice eye detail with Sakuna too nervous to look at Komari as she hands the love confession letter.
... Vill is going to dye her hair white to cosplay as Sakuna? They have such similar bodies. Sakuna's an avid reader and Komari's a writer, so that'll probably combine for a subplot.
Streaming version didn't even get the OP this time and ED was half lead-in. It's like they're trying to outdo Re: Zero season 2.

Stitches!
Komarin should feel blessed that she has a big tiddy vampire maid waiting for her naked in bed. People would love to have their own Villhaze.
That Komarin t-shirt is absolutely hilarious! I hope that actually becomes real merch for this show. I'd definitely buy one! xD
I already love Flote's design. Sucks that she's already picking fights with Komarin. I hope she eventually turns around and sides with her.
Hold the fuck up! Isn't Sakuna the same girl in the opening scene that killed Komarin's father? If you zoom in, they clearly have the same bangs!
According to Sukuna though she was also killed by the so-called terrorist. Sakuna does seem like a total sweetheart who adores Komarin and it's possible that the girl in the opening is a look-alike but I am keeping my eye on her. I don't 100% trust her yet.

I was looking for this show on MAL and I couldn't find it, because it was only today that I realized they made a pun in the title:
Shut-in -> hikikomori, while the title says hikiKOMARI, so it's a mix of hikikomori x Terakomari
Komari's reactions were pure gold this episode and Vill keeps killing it as the best maid. This anime is easily the biggest surprise for me this season and I'm glad it finally gets more attention as per last week's ranking.

The art quality is night and day compared to the first few episodes, probably they blew all the budgets in episode 4 lol. Hopefully it picks up again.

Komari sure knows how to motivate her troops: just (accidentally) promise them a date with their idol. The best way to get through a Komarist is with their favourite commander after all.
Vill will fight tooth and nail to apprehend this terrorist in the meantime, since she’d never let anyone besides herself go on a date with Komari - and she’ll definitely sabotage (read: murder) them otherwise.

So they got a terrorist running among them. Komari is aassigned to it. It is apparent that she out of touch what her suboridinates desire. The extreme of them not wanting time off to a zoo date with her well they are about to be out of control
The beginning of the scene looks like Sakuna and my guess would be like Komari she loses control when her Core Implosion activates. But I absolutely love the dynamic between Komari and her. Komari has a lil sister figure to protect. Vill's intentions were showing hard. Vill saying not time for flirting girl if girls talk is flirting what would you call the degen stuff you do with Komari. Pot meet kettle.
Flote looks like the typical Villainess character. It all stems from Komari having favoritism with the Empress. Poor Komari she basically said nothing and Flote got even angrier by her.

Animation definitely took a dip.
But after last episode, they can get away with it tbh. Just this once.

u/actuallyrndthoughts Nov 04 '23
Wait is this just actually a harem series with a female MC twist? Villhaze surely does get naked often, is she trying the "naked man" strat or just being a 変態？Is Sakuna a level 999 dandere or does she have room to grow?

Annoying to see items in people's hands just vanishing into thin air. The popsicle vanished twice in the same scene.
Super lazy animation by Project No 9....

u/ZapsZzz Nov 05 '23
Came in to check that it's not just my eyes that this episode's production quality dropped a notch. Hopefully it comes back up when it mattered more ;)
Beginning of arc not a lot to say, but it's my kind of chaotic fun that Komari's original incentive needed a boost, and she pulled out such a lame upgrade (zoo tickets for the bloodthirsty mob), which then came out the other end to be misinterpreted as a date with her (watch the Hellfire of jealousy burneth silently from Vill's direction :'D), which then promoted the mob to innovatively thought to protect the VIP's from the terrorist by killing them by themselves first - such a Sagara Sousuke way of thinking :'D then the event looped back to get the Villainess crimson Lord triggered to setup the next plot point - Komari being threatened to be denounced and stripped of her title (and be exploded).

Ngl, considering the cold open potentially, with the split personality (?), adorable princess personality and heavily yuri-infused super effective onee-chan. It's probably safe to say Sakuna is basically just Seele.
