    NOOOO!!!!! My kuroneko!!!

    As for TwinTails… it’s so bad that its good. Taking the piss out of every known otaku trope. Much like why I liked NGNL: takes the piss out of your tropes.

    Twintails: It’s a bit refreshing to see Aika beat up Twoearle instead of Souji. It’s always the harem MC who gets pummeled whenever a girl flirts with them so this is something new.
    There’s really not much to explore on Souji’s girl form so I can’t blame him for going for the twintails.
    And Aika was already quite flat but her TailBlue form seems to make her flatter. I can imagine her getting mad when Yellow gets to join them knowing how her transformation goes.

    Vanadis: Not quite satisfied with Mila’s voice but I like Sofie’s.
    Tigre going to find some allies actually took a week or two. They actually had to do a bit of bandit subjugation before they got Augre’s cooperation but that was cut out which was not a surprise. There was actually a hot spring segment before they got ambushed but I guess they’ll save that for the Vanadi-chu specials.
    This was still pretty rushed but they still managed to cover the important points so not complaining much.

    Grisaia: In one fell swoop, this episode turned off most of the VN readers and destroying their faith in the show. You could say they were…crushed into 8 bits *badum tss*
    This is actually the Michiru route already, super compressed and skipping several events. The eye color change is just in the anime to differentiate between the two. In the VN, there’s no eye color change in Michiru’s sprite when the other Michiru appears. So the one in the cliff at first was definitely the tsundere Michiru. Her attitude there plus this other Michiru will hopefully get covered properly next episode.
    The VN translation actually takes some liberties in localization as well with some of them being too liberal. The translation there used ‘first base’ to refer to the kiss. I’ll have to get back if the Japanese there was the same as the one used in the anime.

    With that said, the agenda now seems to be to cover every route in 2 episodes per girl based on the title next episode and the remaining episodes. I’m not sure if they’ll do a reset like in Yosuga no Sora or if they’ll make it continuous. Either way, it’s not like I didn’t expect this so I’m not that disappointed or angry about it. The order in which they’ll get covered is the question, though I bet Yumiko will be saved for last.

    • Sumairii says:

      So 8 bit chose the “make everyone unhappy by trying to please everyone” route, eh? Sounds like time to abandon ship.

      More seriously though, this episode of Grisaia was almost all of Michiru’s route? I guess that would explain why it felt like so much more happened here in comparison to the previous eps.

      • belatkuro says:

        The first parts were still the common route but it went to Michiru route when the ‘other’ Michiru kissed Yuuji. There’s a big chunk of stuff cut out from when Yuuji tried to kiss Michiru back to the cat dying, in which they bonded together along with the cat.
        And Yuuji actually managed to kiss Michiru in that second time so I dunno why they didn’t go with it.

        • Sumairii says:

          Oh were we supposed to feel more attached to the cat? I thought it was just a vehicle to advance some plot element about Michiru and her spiel on death and burial.

          As an anime only viewer with no preconception of the VN routes, this episode actually makes the show look better than before. Again, mainly because stuff that’s interesting actually happens. Now that I am aware of the potential pacing problems and cutting of material, I am somewhat more concerned. However, I will reserve judgement for when I’ve actually seen how all the other routes pan out.

          • Di Gi Kazune says:

            My kitty!!!

            Seriously, you cannot go down the do all girls route in a short span of time. Unless you rewrite the whole story. Even Shuffle! used 26 episodes to cover all 5 girls. To me, Grisaia is trying to go for the fanservice route instead of doing story.

    • lvlln says:

      Whoa, they skipped over a hot springs scene? Now that’s going too far with the cuts! The Vanadichu specials haven’t exactly had the art to do such a scene justice.

      I find the size transformations in Twintails peculiar. Souji has to change obviously because he’s a boy, but Aika and the blonde girl have no reason to, yet their bodies do seem to transform, according to the ED. I find it notable how the height orders completely reverse. Wonder if there’s any meaning to these changes.

      • Di Gi Kazune says:

        I cannot say why because I made an unwritten promise not to use certain words for a week so…

        Twintails is fetish fuel. It is also tropes fetish. Inside every grown man, there is a little girl inside of them. It is basically the reversal of the LOLi-teamkireicensorship- roles. This is how I explain his/her transformation.

      • belatkuro says:

        I was wrong about the hot springs part. Seems like they’ll put it in the next episode according to the preview. I thought for sure they’d skip it as it did happen before the ambush.
        So yeah, prepare for some naked service especially from Mila.

      The law of anime/manga armour: The less armour you wear, the lower your AC. I still use the old edition rules of AD&D where lower means better AC.

      Therefore complete nudity has the best AC of them all if you follow this completely insane logic…

  4. HannoX says:

    Twintails: Maybe Souji doesn’t care for those girls hugging him because it doesn’t look like any of them are twintails. Which is taking your obsession with a particular fetish too far. Any normal guy his age would be delighted in that situation.

    Vanadis: Still too damn much Titta. I’m liking that the show is exploring the political aspects of its world and the war. Just as good is that only one of the War Maidens has immediately fallen for Tigre. Who would have expected that from a show that seemed like it was going to be a harem?

    • HannoX says:

      Damn it, I didn’t intend for my comment on Vanadis to be in bold italics. What’s the story on the edit function we were supposed to be getting?

    • BlackBriar says:

      Twintails:

      Maybe Souji doesn’t care for those girls hugging him because it doesn’t look like any of them are twintails. Which is taking your obsession with a particular fetish too far. Any normal guy his age would be delighted in that situation.

      He went as far as to hide in the bathroom and transform just to touch the twintails that came with it. Clearly he needs Professional help.

      • Di Gi Kazune says:

        I’d say he’s completely beyond profession help. Seppuku would be the only solution… 😛

        • BlackBriar says:

          If it will save him from himself, then there’s no other way. 😉

      • lvlln says:

        See, it would be one thing if he sought out those groupies of his who do have twintails. Maybe attempt to set up some twintail harem using them. That would be funny. But he’s just turning into straight up chaste dude with his fetish largely absent when he’s acting that way.

  5. BlackBriar says:

    Ore, Twintails ni Narimasu: It’s an unusal feeling knowing the target of a tsundere’s frequent all-out abuse isn’t the lead male. Actually, the lead here isn’t much of a pervert to warrant it. He just has an otherwise unhealthy complex.

    Souji is too faithful to his fetish! If it’s that easy to incapacitate him, he’ll have a lot of trouble down the road. About time Tail Blue took the stage. Did anyone else facepalm at unfair it was that she got the opposite reaction from people based on her intentions ? Honestly…

    Absurd comedy or incisive social commentary?

    That holds some truth regarding society’s priorities. They’d sooner suck up on things about celebrities and gossip than wars and terrorists. At least Souji isn’t a media whore indulging them.

    L-lewd! They allow this kind of filth on TV in Japan?

    LOL. Is it that surprising? The Japanese are probably the boldest people in the Entertainment industry. They’re not afraid to push the enveloppe. Don’t forget. Grisaia no Kajitsu’s last episode had one of the girls actually pleasing herself while laying on the main guy’s bed, getting high on his scent off of his clothes. If that’s not lewd, I don’t know what is.

    So far, so good. The series continues to be fun and absurd to watch.

  6. BlackBriar says:

    Grisaia no Kajitsu: That was leading by the nose. I didn’t know what to think of Michiru within the first few minutes. “Acting differently” is putting it mildly. First, my assumptions were she was continuing her “acting” as she said a couple episodes back. Then later with multiple personalities because of her change in speech. That theory won and they made sure to hammer it in with the change in eye color.

    Her mannerisms and affectations were totally different so there really was no need to resort to a visual cue.

    That may be a progressive trait. Something that’s happening only recently. I think it was necessary to prove beyond a doubt there’s more than one consciousness inhabiting the body. Looking them in the eye, you’d know who you’re talking to. Easy identification. Now that the circumstances are clear enough, what is there to figure out is how Yuuji progresses with her from here. Plus, it’s clear she’s not aware of her disposition. I’m wondering if the other Michiru will have to be addressed with a different name.

    Grisaia no Kajitsu

    How many times did anime kill cats this year? Is this the third? Damn, STOP IT! YOU DON’T KILL CATS! NO ONE SEES WHEN CAT DIES, OK? NO ONE!

    These guys… They are just messing with my cat lover mind i.i Guh…

    • BlackBriar says:

      Were animal deaths that frequent this year in anime? Huh, I never stopped to give that any thought.

      • Di Gi Kazune says:

        The poor kitty in Rurumo. T_T The best and most touching episode of the series. T_T

        • JPNIgor says:

          And there was the pseudo-death from the fire cat of Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance, but two episodes later they just revived it. Still, they killed it for one episode. And they made drama with it.

  8. BlackBriar says:

    Madan no Ou to Vanadis:

    Politics, politics, politics. That’s proving to be the primary source of the story in this show, which has been a pleasant surprise.

    Maouyuu Maou Yuusha had similar surprising traits and it went along nicely. Sometimes it’s good to see a series that isn’t always exactly as it appeared to be.

    If someone had to ask me which is the worst period for politics, medieval times or our time, I’d go with the former. The opposition sure don’t have any qualms offing threats to maintain power. Then again, corrupt factions are nothing of surprise so even if the acts became public knowledge, about only a handful of people would be able to do anything about it.

    Eleonora got away by the skin of her teeth with her “Better to seek forgiveness than ask permission” approach with the king thanks to Sofya. If Ludmila is the only remaining War Maiden needed for the cause and a reluctant ally to Thenardier, there’s one way of getting her support : Return the favor Thenardier sent for Tigre and get rid of him. Hey, there’s no such thing as a war without casualties. Two can play that game.

    The way Tigre went to save Lim from the snake poison and the posture he took was suggestive. There’s about a thousand possibilties in my head as to what that would look like. 😉

    I don’t think Titta’s ugly. She’s plain looking but not eye candy material.

    • Sumairii says:

      I don’t think Titta’s ugly. She’s plain looking but not eye candy material.

      She’s ugly because contrary to what her name might suggest, she’s got no titties.

      In all seriousness though, I agree. She’s just plain (and flatter) in comparison to the other girls. But this is a show in which someone like Ludmila is mocked for being flat when in real life her bust would be nothing to dismiss. So anything goes.

      • lvlln says:

        It’s Titta’s hair that primarily gets me. I’ve no problem with twin tails, but the kind she’s got, with that volume and length, not to mention those hideous bangs… just really off-putting.

    • HannoX says:

      It’s not Titta’s appearance that I don’t like. It’s her personality. God, is she an awful character. Maybe if Tigre gave her the good screwing she so obviously wants from him she’d be less annoying. But this isn’t hentai so it’s not going to happen.

      • BlackBriar says:

        Hmm.. I don’t find so bad. If there’s anything to reproach in my book, it’s her clinginess.

      I decided to look for some of the LN illustrations, and came across this:

      • BlackBriar says:

        Whoa, it’s even raunchier than I thought. So they were playing it safe with the anime. Tsk! Cowards!

        As for one of the possibilities in head, here’s a hint: What’s my title? I’ll get back to you with the other 999.

        • lvlln says:

          So looks like in the book the snake got her closer to the nipple than to the collarbone, AND Lim’s top got ripped during the battle? Shame on you, Satelight for making a mockery with this adaptation. Shame on you.
