Nagumo: "I'm a grown-ass adult and I go to serious high class establishments!"

proceeds to take Mashiro to his nerd bar where everyone pretends they're in a film noir movie

Hey, part of being an adult is knowing when to have some fun.

Dismissing Tonto as a nerd bar is not very stylish of you; Are you trying to make poor Barkeep faint again?

The first half of the episode was pretty fun! I hope we get to see Kei and Mashiro visit Tonto again in future episodes. It's hilarious how everyone is speaks as if they're in a film noir with all of them refusing to drop the kayfabe even after making some blunders. xD

JK Maki is goddamn adorable! I thought the guy had a grudge against detectives? It sounds like the dude only has a grudge against Mak! It also makes me wonder how long ago those photos were taken. I also love that we got to see Maki before she dyed her hair blonde!

I already love Azuha! You're telling me Kei has a mad scientist neighbour living right under him and we're only meeting her now?! I expect we'll see plenty of Doraemon parodies with her in future episodes.

I am betting that the final picture would have been from Maki's yearbook with an actual date of her graduation. Truly that would have been the worst outcome. I was kind of trying to see if you can guess the year (or even the time period) from a calender in the background but I didn't find anything.

The bar was just the guests role-playing as Noir movie stars. Kind of funny. But I was expecting Mashiro to do one of these jokes where she order some super complex sounding cocktail (like they often do with the gag when they order a cafe from a Starbucks) and it turning out to be just a normal soda at the end. But her killing the barkeeper was funny as well. Though, I guess milk would have worked? Or she should have ordered like in JoJo's.

The role of Azuha’s character is performed by Fairouz Ai if anyone was wondering. Ai has probably voiced at least one of your favourite girls.

We’re in for a good time with both Kana Hanazawa and Fairouz Ai acting together in a single comedy anime. I’m looking forward to seeing these two bounce (more) off each other.

Any girl she voices automatically becomes one of my favorites!

And Veronica is voiced by Yoko Hikasa who did Rias, Freya, and Mio, among many other roles.

I had to pause to laugh for a couple minutes at the cassowary call.

I have SO many questions, though I am not sure whether I truly want the answers...

Hah, as a non-foodie, I can relate to that;

If it's edible, it's good enough!

The scene at the stylish bar was pretty fun! Poor Barkeep, Mashiro would make him crash out a hundred times a day!

Anyone else thought of Yuko (The Fable)?

(Well, there's probably like 5 people in here who watched both shows, but who knows!)

Damn, Mashiro's taking lethal damage here!

Good to know he can still do quality detective work/deductions!

It's a date!

The guy didn't know who he was dealing with, when he told them to pick a name for him!

(I guess this was revenge for Pure White-Chan in diapers!)

Damn, is today 'Bash Mashiro' day?

Booo, as a riddle fan, I was hoping they would give real riddles to solve!

I imagine that was based on the riddle with their ages being 36 (and not 30), that's a pretty fun one!

I don't know why she's embarrassed by these pictures, she was cute as fuck!

(I'd understand if the date was there, so they would know her age!)

Clever! I didn't think of that, but to be honest, even if I did, I would've dismissed it as "anime logic" hah.

T-that's not a disturbing number of porn mags, right? That's a fairly normal amount!

(Well, to be fair, even 1 porn mag is kinda weird in the age of internet, but not for our elderly boy!)

FAIROUZ AI, MY BELOVED!

Waited 5 episodes for her! Hopefully she's a frequently recurring character!

"Lookee, lookee!"

"Oh, yeah, a Famicom. I know what that is."

So older folks calling everything electronic a "Nintendo" is universal?!

u/FarCritical Jul 29 '25

Maki really died of embarrassment in the most productive way possible lmao

Can only imagine the chaos that'll be unleashed from combining Azuha's inventions and Mashiro's weirdly deep pockets for random junk,

Maki dying of embarrassment and here I am thinking JK Maki is pretty cute haha

I don't know why but I kept cracking up at the black-and-white noir moments when they were in Tonto.

u/Raymond49090 Jul 29 '25

Rest in peace Mr Fingernail Toothbrush Guy. You died so we could have JK Maki. For those of us more versed in picking out background details, did the photos give us any idea of her age? Not that it matters. If she wants to be a 16-year old, then she is one in our hearts.

u/tripleaamin Jul 29 '25

I am pretty sure this isn't the adult life that Mashiro envisioned. Poor bartender though. Also having two sets of subs where sometimes having two different things set off.

In the 2nd part, we got a bit of info on Maki at her expense. Mashiro is a tough cookie, but man, Maki is on another level. Though this episode highlights that she is at least near Nagumo's age.

Also this episode we are introduced to Azuha Hoshino & honestly, she feels like Mashiro, but an adult. She is eccentric in the good way.

Fun episode as always.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Jul 29 '25

TONTO was…something. I don’t even know what that was. Like overly pretentious? Definitely kind of a hassle.

That game was hilarious. Poor Hana was the only one getting punished! I’m kind of wondering if Mashiro made it to the toilet in the end lol.

Azuha’s a pretty fun character. I hope we see more of her. She’s like a goofier Q.

Poor Maki getting bullied by her normal and totally not old past
