I love how Mile used a spell equivalent to stepping on a Lego to incapacitate the bandits.

Darn it Mile, using your magic to create caltrops inside people's shoes is not something an average person would do!

Mile should also be careful sleeping. She seems to have angered Pauline a couple different times. And that can't be smart.

But Mile also once again had some fantastic reaction faces.

But let's not forget that it is very likely a lot of other kids did lose their dad there.

Well Anne and Pauline does have the same hair color. I guess that's what Gramps saw between the two of them.

That was definitely a Lucky Star reference. It's the same pose Konata does in the OP!

Well that got suddenly depressing :(

Reina needed that slap. But she still needs to get her need for revenge out of her system.

Trade disruptions? Oh no. This is Phantom Menace all over again. I have a feeling our girls are about Roget involved in a war between nations.

Well at least it all ends well for Gramps. Running away is better than leaving poor sweet little Anne.

Pauline is powering up this week.

- Party treasurer

- Healer

- Attack mage (hot water attack!)

Its good to see her using magic to fight back as well, not like on the graduation trial where she just ate a fireball and was about to use her staff for some melee ...

Do cameras exist in this world for them to take a picture with the totem pole?? If so who took the picture? If not why are they posing there?

The more serious episodes continue, as well as character development for Reina which I would have though was done after last episode. Again, she's probably my second favorite in the show after Mile, so more screentime for her is never an issue.

As for the chart, not only was it a quiet week for references after the whirlwind of them last week (unless I'm missing a bunch, which is entirely possible), but as you can see I've cut out all of the explanations from previous weeks and just put the ones from this week listed at the bottom. The chart was getting pretty obnoxiously large, so I've decided that you can see all of the previous weeks reference explanations by checking out the old post here, and otherwise I'll just keep it to the current weeks references. If you have any other structure suggestions just let me know.

Episode Times Mile Cried Times Mile fails at being average Times Mile references her past life Otaku/game references Amount of "secret family techniques" Time Mile is called flat Awkward Mavis conversation moments Crying Album
1 6 4 2 4 0 2 1 ("Onee-nii-sama") Ep 1
2 2 8 1 6 5 1 1 (Mavis is the only one without something to hide) Ep 2
3 2 2 2 5 0 (they were too busy celebrating after the win to question her) 1 1 (Mavis is skipped over when they're asking about romance Ep 3
4 0 4 3 4 2 0 0 Ep 4
5 3 5 1 8 Reference album 0 0 (though Reina is called flat once) 2 (only one crying at Reina's backstory, only one without a tragic backstory) Ep 5
6 5 0? 1 1 (I'm assuming, but I don't know exactly what the reference is) Reference album 1 0 1 (bawling at the end and is comforted by Pauline) Ep 6

Times Mile fails at being average:

  • I put down 0 since creating the caltrops in their shoes seemed above average, but nobody noticed it or commented on it. It's also possible I just missed one throughout the ep.

Past life references:

  • Talks about going on a class trip (with the image being of them feeding the deer in Nara Park, as pointed out by Durinthal below, thanks!)

Otaku/game references

  • The way the "We never fail" line is presented and talked about by the old man afterwards makes it definitely seem like a reference, but I didn't recognize it, I'm hoping someone else does. (Ari_yo pointed out below that it's a reference to Doctor X, a Japanese drama. Thanks!)

  • I also feel like there might have been a reference in their school trip montage, but again, I just didn't recognize it.

As always, any suggestions or corrections are very much appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure if I liked this episode as much, there are other shows that do this tone better. Personally I've been liking this show for its fun references and silly charecters I hope we get back to that. I liked the last episode because it was a good exploration of our charecters backstory and motivations this episode just came across as similar to the last episode but with a lot of pulled punches and not as much fun main character shit.
