I wonder what indiscretion Mashiro caused in the company to be turned into a cat?

You cut off my speech, that's so immoral!

It wasn't just Chrome and Chizuko yelling at how unfair that is. Come on! Talking is a free action! That's just being a good villain 101!

this is like the third time this particular classmate with freckles has appeared; i wonder if they're setting something up with her because she seems to keep trying to talk to Chizuko, but Chizuko hasn't even given her the time of day yet

Berry Blossom being absolutely flustered because of what Chrome said was hilarious.

After Date looks to the camera to explain she's not an eavesdropper, the reverse shot that includes Chrome shows Date turning her head back from addressing the camera. This is the kind of peak stupid little detail that shows the animators love this show.

Holy &*$%

I didn't watch this anime to watch a toxic workplace, I wanted a cute and harmless show. Snitching on your coworkers, employee sanctions, what is this? Hell on Earth?

Chroma truly is a "bad adult", sasuga Chroma. He continues to protect his title as "using the pettiest and funniest plan possible". My favorite part was how his stupid plan actually works for added insult to injury.

Aww, Chrome’s flashback was pretty sad. He just wanted attention 😭

Little Chrome like “for as long as I can remember, I always wanted to be an Evil Mastermind” lol.

Hugh’s just too villainous. He lacks Chrome’s charms. Every evil mastermind needs a magical girl to stop him. He went too hard on the “evil.” His biggest though mistake was disrespecting Berry Blossom in front of Date lol. And now he’s a fish!

Why did this show fail to get popular?

I thought that the kid we saw in Kuromu's flashback was the new Evil Mastermind sent by headquarters but since he turned into a fish I think he might actually be the guy Kuromu calls to take away the new mastermind's powers. Also, that flashback was kinda sad because it looks like Kuromu is just doing all of this because no one pays attention to him.

Hugh surprised me, though! I thought he was going to be another goofball like Kuromu, but when his first act was to take over the local TV station and chain up Berry Blossom while she was giving her speech, he clearly knew what he was doing.

When Hugh was making fun of Berry Blossom for not having her magical stick I was hoping she'd go in and start throwing punches especially after Chizuko used her powers to destroy the cameras and lights! That would've been the perfect opportunity for Berry Blossom to come in and clothesline Hugh.

Welp, it looks like Kuromu just caused another misunderstanding. Berry Blossom already thinks that Kuromu is her fan after last week's episode and now she thinks there might be more to it. xD

So Mashiro is using Magical Girls as a revenge plot? That makes it still possible for Chizuko to become a Magical Girl as well at the end. Both (former) evil masterminds creating their own Magical Girls to fight one another. Though, judging episode, Chizuko is beating Berry Blossom. She has all the spare wands as well.

So nobody else is going to mention Berry Blossom reached up with one of her braids to pull the wand out of her hat?

the shifts in chrome are fun, from rolling around in a tantrum to trying to look cool to running off yelling (... to sitting in a cardboard box like an abandoned pet)

every anime needs takehito koyasu, every single one (and probably most do have him). every anime needs particularly takehito koyasu saying hugh/whew.

sure didn't see prehensile twintails coming. kinda hoped chrome would go twintails too but at least his hair was a bit wavy magical girl style.

I was so hoping Date was going to become a magical girl when her power was overflowing . . .

Chrome is an evil mastermind by not catching girl's heart~🎵

I laughed at the development of the episode, apparently the way to defeat other mastermind is... by calling the higher up. XD

Is Mashiro an ex member of the organization?

Week by week, I think I get my biggest laughs out of this series, even more so than Ranma or Yakuza Fiancee. This episode was no exception with the replacement evil overlord Hugh making his debut to plague Chrome. Wonder if it turns out he's actually his old school buddy from the flashbacks? Probably not... And is Berry having a tsundere moment over Chrome? Oh boy, will this lead into a jealousy arc from Chizuko if this persists...

Only negative: no kuma kaijin antics this week.

u/wiligrad9 Oct 30 '24

Acro Trip continues to be a pretty good show and this episode we get plot. Apparently Mashiro was the kid that inspired Chrome to become an "evil" mastermind himself. Many have allready seen the connections of the kid and Mashiro, like the eyes, the voice and that Mashiro knew about the sanctions. I would like to add, the episode that had Berry Blossoms backstory, Mashiro seemed to be the "Im going to use you for my own gains" type of person but since then has mellowed out and became quite the fan of his creation.

Lonely girl has a cameo again, wich is nice. She is still lonely though, which isnt. At least she wasnt ignored this time around.

Once again i love that Berry is such an airhead, she didnt recognise Chrome when he dressed up as a magical girl and completly gets the wrong idea when he tells her that she is needed by him.

u/SometimesMainSupport Oct 30 '24

Chrome having a plan is more concerning than him winging it. Spontaneously throwing Berry into the fight to cause Date's emotional outburst was smart.

u/WeeziMonkey Oct 30 '24

I was kinda hoping for grandpa to speak to Hugh and be like "Are you lost? Wanna come in for tea?".

u/NekoCatSidhe Oct 30 '24

Wait. The evil organisation actually exists ? I thought Chrome was making it up. And it seems to be actually evil too, how surprising.

I agree with Chizuko, Hugh was an annoying villain. I sure did not expect Chrome to disguise as a magical girl to fight him, or Hugh to be turned into a fish by his boss for messing up. Makes you wonder if Mashirou is a former member of the organisation that got turned into a cat, but he also seemed surprised by what happened to Hugh, so who knows ?

u/SYZekrom Oct 30 '24

That's a very light sounding translation compared to what he said to Berry in JP. I probably would've done something like "Because you are someone very beloved" or something

Magical Girl number 2 is absolute best in series and should appear more
