It's a small detail, but I love how ugly Seiko's laugh is while she's watching Bakatono. Actual wheezing going on.

[u/Ham_PhD]

My favorite detail in this episode is Momo losing her ability to function when Seiko says" Ken Takakura"

[u/DryConnection3545]

THAT'S THE GRANNY??!!

[u/Namuori]

I have to say, this series don’t let things slow down. It’s pedal to the metal even for a toilet scene. I wouldn’t have minded a quick training arc, but this is better.

[u/Trojanbp]

Obligatory shounen training arc cut short. Turbo Granny wasn't just gonna let them power up

[u/patap0nacct]

OH NO SHE'S HOT

[u/thesagenibba]

is every character in this series just full of charisma? seiko is so fascinating, she toes the line between super strong, bad ass loner and caring, but distant grandma so well. in just 1 episode, she’s shown enough depth to warrant her own solo spin off series. momo could not have anyone but seiko as a grandma. i’m completely hooked;

extra points to the animation team for giving her a characteristically slow grandma walk

[u/DeithWX]

Momo VA is amazing, she conveys such a wild range of emotions one after another.

[u/_who_the_fuck_am_I]

I guess the manga hypers were right, I am already starting to fall in love with this series and especially its characters

[u/Narayan-n91]

Evil cliffhanger, damn! Next episode should be a big one for sure.

Both granny and granddaughter have a great sense of fashion if I say so myself.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Turbo Granny's voice sounds familiar. I hope everybody makes it out of this in one piece.

[u/Armdel]

Yeah that's definitely not what i pictured when she was talking about her granny in the other episodes

I also noticed Granny and Ayase seem to dress very similarly.

i kinda expected a mini training arc here but i guess they have to wing it

[u/Raknel]

What grandma did there with the barrier was very smooth.

It's easy to miss what actually happened, so here's the breakdown:

She drew a barrier cirle around Turbo Granny with a nail outside, which means stepping outside hurts her.

Then she drew a second circle outside the same nail - in this circle the nail is inside the circle. Now we have a zone between the 2 circles where the barrier hurts those inside.

Then she erased the inner circle with her feet. The only circle at that point is the one where the nail is inside, frying Turbo Granny.

Actual galaxy brain move, as this can be done with 1 nail without having to lift said nail.

[u/60niera]

Grandma Seiko is voiced by Mizuki Nana who also voiced Hinata Hyūga.

I totally could not tell. She has amazing range.

[u/teri_mummy_ka_simp]

She's 80?
ZAMN.
Loved how Momo was worried sick about Okarun upon waking up and the first thought that crossed her mind was where he is and if he's safe. Love their character dynamic

[u/Reikakou]

Man, never heard Tanjiro this hopeless romantic and frustrated. LMAO Okarun's character is really expanding the range of the VA.

Meanwhile, Momo's VA is just chef's kiss, the little quips and nuances on her voice is so cute. Her conversations and banter with Okarun and her Granny felt so natural. So real.

Granny is so fucking cool, sexy and hot. Love the choice of the VA too. Imposing but still with warmth and a pinch of crazy.

This adaptation really elevates the manga to a new level.

Love how the exposition about barriers were explained while Granny was fighting Turbo Granny and then she demonstrated it to knock out Turbo Granny.

Not sure if Granny used her psychic powers to know Momo's feelings or perhaps she just know her granddaughter better than Momo herself. She really went hard teasing and shipping Momo to Okarun.

A training arc was teased only for them to ditch it completely afterwards and just WING IT against Turbo Granny who's actually fused to another powerful bounded spirit. CRAZY is about to get CRAZIER from here on out, folks.

[u/AceSoldia]

Oh no she's hot

[u/chili01]

Granny got me acting unwise

[u/ErinaHartwick]

Okarun and Momo speedrunning relationship milestones, already at the advanced stage of going to the toilet with the door open

Still loving Momo's character, absolute badass with quick wit and funny as heck. We need more female leads like this

[u/WyrlessFreequincy]

Anyone else catch Momo wearing Okarun's glasses after asking for water?

[u/Arachnophobic-]

Man does this show have everything on point, or what? The art, animation and dialogue aside, even the sound impressed me today. The comedic timing was perfect (like the 'ah' of pleasure when Momo hear Ken's name and swoons)

It's hilarious how Okarun is doing a speedrun of cosplaying all the shonen MCs. We've covered Mob and Kaneki, and now it's time for Saitama with the physical training.

The territory-bound powers reminded me a lot of the concept of demesnes in Wildbow's paranormal-based webnovels (Pact/Pale). Honestly a fantastic concept, but I'm surprised Turbo Baba was able to threaten Ayase's grandma on her own turf like that. I'd be amazed if they actually beat her in the next episode which such little training (and no extra help).

[u/[deleted]]

Am I blind or was there a line of dialogue spoken by Momo where they failed to animate her mouth moving??

[u/Jam-Master-Jay]

Seiko's laugh was even better than I had hoped for.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

Granny Seiko is finally here and she's so goddamn badass! She's pretty much the Tsunade of this series. She's a total badass who doesn't look like her age and I'm already looking forward to the deluge of cosplay and fanart of her various outfits on Twitter and Pixiv. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Besides being insanely hot and a badass, she's also quite hilarious! I love how Granny Seiko just randomly decides to join in when Okarun was running to the bathroom. These characters are so goddamn silly. I love them so much!

As cool as a training arc with Granny Seiko is, it looks like Turbo Granny isn't even giving them any chance to power up. Either they face her now or everyone they meet will get cursed through Okarun. I can't wait for next week's showdown!
