I admit, I don’t remember with minute detail how the scene went with Angelica and her parents, but…

So, this response includes explanations from the LNs. I don’t expect that this stuff will be explained in the anime, so I guess I don’t consider it a spoiler.

The schnesturm was supposed to be much more injured than that, and maybe even sort of pinned in place. Meanwhile, although they didn’t explain why specifically, my guess is either it’s a property of the spear or that Ferdinand is aiming her hand, but Ferdinand acted like Liedenshaft’s spear couldn’t miss in that situation. The fight in the anime was indeed unimpressive.

Edit: And Rozemyne was not so close to the fight. She was in the area with layknights who were only cleaning up the stragglers of the Lord of Winter’s subordinates who got past the front lines. IIRC, she was never in any danger at all in this fight. Until she was called by Ferdinand, her most difficult job was keeping her high beast steady, which wasn’t easy.

And as for Angelica, the situation is even worse for her. If she failed, she wouldn’t just lose her job, she’d be stripped of her nobility and be forced to work as a servant for the rest of her life. If you’ll remember, nobles are people who graduated from the academy. With Angelica’s personality, she’d probably end up the same as a devouring commoner under a submission contract.

I think it’s a question of comparing how common a name is to how iconic its new use is. Sesame street didn’t stop people from naming their kids Oscar. (or The Count /s)

Obviously in the smoker.

Reddit’s basic business model was “We provide the platform, so you do all the hard work for free.”

The fediverse would be the same if it were a business.

Although I complain, I don’t hate this season. Most of my irritation is limited to a few scenes per episode. If I had a trillion dollars, I’d pay to have the entire series re-animated, though.

I had previously tried to figure out how many episodes were in this season, and all it said was that it hadn’t been announced. This episode made it obvious that there are more than 12 because it seems like an episode where they just shoved various plot-related leftovers, and it would be weird if they did that in episode 11 of 12. AniDB has release dates for episodes up to 16 for this season, but I don’t know whether that means there are only 16 episodes.

It seemed like they really wanted to exposition dump in this episode, and they made a lot of strange changes from the source material, many of which don’t make sense, and where doing them the right way would have been no harder. I’ll mention a couple of things that are not, in any way, spoilers.

Like, we’re supposed to believe that there was a huge locked cabinet in the book room, and Rozemyne wasn’t interested in it until she found a key that she didn’t know what it did? No, she obviously knew from the beginning that there were locked shelves, and that the High Bishop had the key. Well, technically, her attendants have the key. When she needs a key, she asks her attendants to bring it to her. I don’t remember exactly when in the story she read them, but any delay before she got to the locked shelves was simply because she hadn’t gotten to that part of the book room yet.

And we’re supposed to believe that Ingo got in the High Bishop’s face like that? I think in that same scene, Ingo said he paid for etiquette lessons just to be able to meet the High Bishop. Rozemyne had a guard knight in the room. There was some leeway given because they were in her hidden room, but Ingo now believes her to be a noble. After his lessons, he should at least know that if he physically approached her like that, he’d probably be executed on the spot. The lessons weren’t an excuse for Benno to make money like they said in that scene. They were to keep Ingo from making mistakes that would lead to severe punishment or execution.

And although it looked less offensive than what Ingo did, Zack would never run up to Rozemyne after the meeting like that. Zack running up to her was far worse than what Ingo did. That wasn’t in her hidden room. Zack is a commoner. He’s not her attendant. He’s not even an orphan. That was outside the temple where there is no leeway to treat Rozemyne as anything but a noble and the High Bishop. All commoners know that any mistakes dealing with the nobility will likely lead to their execution, and maybe the execution of their family. In this same episode, they made sure to tell Ingo that he could speak without as much fear because he was in her hidden room. And now a couple of scenes later, they have Zack do this outside the temple.

How was this animated like this? If the animators just read the script for this very episode, they shouldn’t have made these mistakes. Why did they spend all of that time in the earlier seasons showing how much commoners cower before nobles?

that’s just the way babies looked back then

If you ignore the “100,000 light years”, this could be the anatomy of somebody’s spine.

Last week, I had a rare day off, so of course, I got sick just for that day. I think the saddest part was that I did indeed feel slightly better the next day. 🤒

After returning from a vacation to America, an English Youtuber was talking about the cultural differences, and said that what they call “going to a pub in the evening,” Americans would call “a serious drinking problem.”

Again, my suggestion was that we rethink the system, not that we keep the current system exactly as it is except that everybody locks down their cell phones. If we rethink the system, then those examples you thought of would be use cases for contacting people under the new system.

Those examples you mentioned aren’t random people. They’re people she knows and organizations that she associates with. I am suggesting that we rethink the system to specifically disallow randos.

My elderly mother has her phone locked down so that you can’t contact her unless you’re in her contacts.

We need to rethink how we let random people contact other random people. The upside of letting random people call anybody isn’t that large, and the downside is like billions of damages in scams and people losing their retirements.

Well, watching the old episodes of this anime on crunchy roll, some of the subtitles from earlier seasons are almost unforgivable.

IIRC, Myne’s name was originally subtitled as “Mine”, which made it unnecessarily confusing. But my biggest beef is that, instead of the “high priest” and the “high bishop”, the subtitles, I think all the way until the previous season, used “high priest” and “head priest”. I got those confused so easily, but “shinkanchou” and “shindenchou” sound very different from each other, to me at least.

Last week, I felt disappointment that the subject matter of Wilfried possibly becoming disinherited wasn’t portrayed with the gravity and urgency that it required. I wanted it to have as much impact as the episode about the harspiel concert.

This week, however, I think they managed to put out a pretty good episode again. The only hitches I felt were the awkwardly shoehorned-in flashbacks to Rozemyne’s medical examination.

Also, maybe it is more obvious in Japanese, but I wonder if the English audience reading the captions really understood that time when Rozemyne was talking to Fran in the Pandabus that she was doing an imitation of Ferdinand. I had been really looking forward to that scene, but it was less funny than I hoped for.

I’ve been reading the manga in Japanese, and that scene almost made me regret using captions for the anime, even though my listening isn’t that great yet. Maybe the next time I watch the anime from the beginning, I’ll try it without captions.

I read the article, not the paper, and even then, I didn’t read it that thoroughly. I mostly wanted to understand how over-sensationalized the headline was.

So I’d have to go back and reread it to see if it answers that question. My memory is that the article simply said that the effect on carbon capture was noticeable at certain times of the year during the summer.

This is about there being a time of year when trees stop growing even though they are still photosynthesizing. So they don’t produce as much wood as models might expect.

You can see the letters in the left side of the picture, and it would be obvious if you were holding it. You’ll only catch people out who don’t even try to look at their bananas when they buy them.

Experts agree that the most dangerous place to try to sit peacefully in Ireland is in a pub near Conor McGregor.
