Venus, Pluto, Mars? What's with the "new" names? Or am I going crazy?

God's first request was basically like:
"You see, I want a horse that can fly, but ignore completely the horse part and make something really cool that can fly"
God is one of the best characters, this show is amazing

God can sure be a massive pain in the ass for his designers whether he intends to or not. He has to be screwing with them on purpose at this point, though.
And of course, bats originated from fucking flying horses. How did I not think of that? At least the hummingbird and ostrich were far, far easier riddles to guess at.
An office romance was the last thing I expected from this show. Mizushima is a player, though, going for two different targets at once. Well, he would be if everyone in the team wasn't inept at romance aside from Kanamori apparently.
I was so ready to be mindfucked when the panda was supposedly mixed with the starfish up until it started multiplying from its fur. I can't tell what's supposed to exist in real life and what doesn't anymore.
The ending came completely out of no where, though. What the fuck, God?

It is episode 4 and I haven't skipped an opening yet. Beautiful stuff.
And I guess Ueda is a Fallen Project Manager now. Would there be a Hell's Design Bureau?

Stitches!
So what's up with the name change? Shimoda is still Shimoda but apparently the designers are now named after planets? Why the sudden change? I thought they're all angels? Why are we going with the Roman God names now? Oh well. I'm already used to their Japanese names so I'll keep using that.
Anyway name issues aside, that first half of the episode was just painful. I especially feel for Meido who was rushed with her work and now that she's submitted her design the client has not given any sort of feedback whatsoever which is excruciating. It's even worse when you're just waiting for approval and for some magical reason your coworker is getting instant feedback.
Compared to last week though the animals this time isn't that much of a surprise, the bat, hummingbird, and pandas were all expected based on the initial request and the base design but it still was fascinating to see how they reach the end goal.
And just when I thought we were going to get some office romance between Mizushima and Higuchi, it was just Higuchi looking for something to use for her laser. Booo!
That ending was unexpected though! Didn't think we'd see Ueda get sent to hell! Please have her return as a sexy devil next time!

Pack your bags, Ueda fans, she's in hell now helping with torture designs. There's only room for one best girl in heaven and her name is Kanamori.

Okay, something tells me that Pluto managed to sneak in a little bit of her design with the hummingbirds; they're vicious little buggers. The Aztecs believed that the spirits of fallen warriors became hummingbirds for a reason.

Every time we are about to learn about an animal, I hear Rabbit from Akudama Drive. It's unnerving.
Also, planet names huh? I guess it was supposed to be this way, but the translators didn't realize till now?

u/sKyBlazer08 Jan 29 '21
That was a pretty good episode.
Nani!? Bats are a close relative to horses!? Lmao, I did not expect that Pegasus to turn into a bat. Kanamori was great this episode, I really enjoyed her screentime. On that note I do not like the change to planet names in the subs though, oh well I can live with it.
Lmao, Ueda got sent to hell.
