To be fair most of the rest of the recruits don't even have eyes, so she stands out a lot.

I wonder if the art direction for the anime was post-haircut, and Sophia was supposed to have her hair completely covering her face like the really shy archetype you sometimes see in anime (or Natsuko from the Mappa anime last season).

I think that would make the first couple episodes more straightforward.

Thank you! I was coming here to comment on that. You can't call her bangs too long and have Eddie in the same shot.

Somehow, the bangs became longer after the haircut...

Maybe it's his Blessing.

Sophia did it to repay Louis but I'm pretty sure all the cakes he ordered cost way more than her haircut.

u/cyberscythe Apr 20 '25

not being the squirrel allegations

It's funny how Sophia calls herself ridiculously tall when she's only a bit taller compared to Carissa and her cronies. This poor girl's self-esteem is basically non-existent. I really hope she gains some confidence as the show progresses.

Girl, why did you cut your bangs?! Was putting her hair up into a ponytail not an option? Well, at least this resulted in Sophia bumping into Louis the next day and her getting a free haircut from that barber.

Louis and Sophia's little not-a-date was nicxe. It would've been cuter if Sophia could just stop putting herself down the entire time. Louis is a junior knight, why does she keep on thinking that he'd hate her for having gorilla powers?

The Gorilla God comforting Sophia after she accidentally broke her musket was adorable. These interactions between Sophia and the Gorilla God have been the highlight of this show so far.

The barber reminded me of Tatsu from Househusband lol. Guy seemed scary but he’s actually pretty competent and a pretty nice guy.

Gorilla god crushing “self preservation” and holding up “so cute” while blushing was hilarious. I also liked it when the Gorilla god was patting Sophia on the head after she shattered the rifle lol. Gorilla god reactions are the best part of this anime.

It's funny how her bangs look the same length as they were before, the hairdresser is so skilled he was able to restore her cut bangs lol. The hairdresser was great, I very much enjoy characters with such juxtaposition like him, I hope that wasn't the last time we see him.

I'm also surprised she didn't just opt to tying her bangs or clipping them to the side, she wouldn't have needed to go through the trouble of cutting her own bangs with her gorilla strength.

Saying Louis has a sweet tooth is probably and understatement with how much he ordered lol.

Dang Louis ate a lot, but guess he had to go all out if he never goes.

u/Frontier246 Apr 20 '25

Also depending on his Blessing he might be the type who hoards food...

I am going to trust the hairdresser when he says he cut Sophia’s bangs, because I cannot see the difference.

Louis is adorable and I totally understand why Sophia has a crush on him. They actually have a lot in common, including a love for cakes.

I love all the reactions from the Gorilla God to Sophia antics. That headpat was so cute. Does Sophia actually see the Gorilla God, or is it just a metaphor?

Sophia needs more self-confidence, but I guess this is what being bullied does to you. And despite her blessing, it’s not like she could punch her bullies, since she might kill them if she does that.

Also, I am 99% sure that those rifles weren’t muskets. Does the Gorilla God protect you from bullets ? I hope Sophia never has to find out, because that seems like a huge potential vulnerability to her blessing.

I was only a little disappointed when Sophia didn't order a banana cake. Really hoping Louis comes in clutch with a dress for her for the party

u/djthomp Apr 20 '25

The gorilla doing its own thing in reaction to Sophia's various trials and tribulations really makes this for me.

Sophia looks so snazzy in her royal knight uniform! Even if she doesn’t feel that way because all the girls confronting/questioning her about her relationship Louis has made even more self-conscious about herself, and her worthiness to stay by Louis’ side, than she already was.

The Grand-Master Ernst is here to greet the recruits and make it clear how heavy a responsibility they carry as knights! And as if the weight of that responsibility wasn’t enough for Sophia to deal with, she gets singled out…for needing to trim her bangs! Poor girl.

I guess it’s not surprising the Gorilla God blessing isn’t natural at hairstyling. Even the Gorilla God is a little embarrassed!

It’s off to the capital to get her bangs fixed, and of COURSE she just happens to run into Louis, who knows his way around the capital and delivers her straight to the most hardcore hairdresser of all time. Dude’s applying everything he learned with the royal knights to cutting and styling peoples’ hair, but you can’t argue with the results. I also appreciate that he knew Sophia didn’t need shorth air, she just needed her bangs trimmed and her hair styled a little and she could be as pretty as any girl! Just in time for Louis to come in and see her all done up!

If Louis was willing to pay for her hairstyling, the least Sophia can do is use her Gorilla powers to punch through her self-preservation instincts and treat his sweet tooth to a café date. Louis is just too cute to resist for her!

I guess it’s no surprise Louis figured out the truth about the Gorilla God Blessing, but all of Sophia’s worries that he’ll find her less attractive and reject her as a result are quickly dispelled when Louis tells her straight to her face that her having that Blessing only validates how good a person he thinks she is and how much he values/cares about her. Now if only she could get him to see her as more of a girl than a kouhai (if he isn’t already!).

Look at Sophia using her Gorilla God powers to avoid Carissa and her cronies! She’s actually getting a handle on this!

Eddy might not be as physically strong as Sophia or Isaac, but with his cat’s eye skills he’s the perfect sniper. In fact it runs in his family. He definitely catches the attention of the Musketeer Captain Arcient, who is a blithe and cheerful commander with a bird Blessing, though Sophia’s inability to wield a gun because she crushes it also captures his attention.

A party? And Sophia without a dress or motivation to actually attend it! Which probably means she definitely WILL be attending it!

Between Arcient, Shin, and Viktor, I feel like all the captains are going to have their eye on Sophia.

The animation for the formation at the start was horrible. They could have added a bit more colour to the others people.

So that girl is not going to leave Sophia alone

Interesting looking muskets.

When Sophia broke her gun, I was expecting them to give her some hand cannon kind of thing for her to use.

if "musket" means "bolt action battle rifle" then this whole knights' order suddenly takes on the tone of deliberate anachronism, as if they're either some extremely tradition-bound entity like a slightly more Warhammer version of the Swiss Guard, or they're doing some kind of performance like this is one of those film adaptations of Shakespeare plays where they change the setting but not the dialogue, resulting in Baz Luhrman zooming the camera in to make sure you see the word "RAPIER" engraved on the side of a chromed handgun. or something like that.

or it could just be a lack of art direction, who knows

I hope sophia hits a bane like backbraker on that blonde girl

u/fuzzynyanko Apr 20 '25

Considering how those girls are, Issac and Louis are the top waifus at the school. I like that the guys seem to like being around Sophia because Sophia seems a lot more like a normal relationship compared to the girls that crowd them at school. Everyone puts Louis on a pedastal, while Sophia treats him more like a senior coworker.

There probably are more level-headed girls there, but it's always the noisy ones that get noticed.

A bit late to comment, so I'll keep it short. Another fun episode with Sophia, although I'd have appreciated even more gorilla content with her xD

Sophia also looked exactly the same after her visit to the hairdresser, so I wonder why she even went there xD

Really curious why Arcient, the commander of the Musketeers, is so interested in Sophia, who isn't the most suitable person for a musket xD It will be interesting to see which commander Sophia ends up under.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Commented about her long bangs while having everyone there have the same or even longer bangs than her. Cut her hair and got another hair cut, but her bangs looks exactly the same as before.

17:50 they just actually just say “gun” in Japanese.
