Damn. Last episode's ending was nice, but this episode was entertaining on several levels.
Can't say how exactly it will progress when they eventually all get together, if they do that is, but I certainly recommend it at this point.

Left myself a few months for the last three episodes. Turns out they were doing exactly the thing I was wondering until the last episode why they aren't doing.

>>19149
>I don't see why they let the prince be.
1) You dissuade further coup d'etats. One successful coup may encourage others to try too.
2) Weak king and strong civil government is preferable to strong king and whatever. No matter how good the person in power is, the very fact that he's in power means his worldview will get warped. He can't retain power without succumbing to this. Thus a weak king is always preferable. Politics 101. Unless you actually like authoritarian governments, of course. It seems most people do, after all.
3) The royal family is always more advantageous as a blemish-free tourist attraction than as anything else. Elizabeth, may she live forever, is a money-printing press practically.
4) Practically everything is a better outcome than the arabs' coup being successful.
5) Usually it's better to have a gradual change than an abrupt one.
6) Baka ouji was a nice guy, don't be so mean towards him.

>nor did they actively do something to decrease his power

But they demonstrated it's within their ability to do so, which is even better.

>Seems like a lot of nothing happened and it made most of what was going on until now meaningless.

Are you implying the hero of the story would be corruptible? Especially the hero in this story, the one that middle fingering everyone? He could have easily been a great king and abolish the royal family's power eventually.

 No.19973

>>19971
Yes. I'm implying nobody can hold any power without becoming corruptible. That holds true for Mauve too, however she's subject to much more checks and regulations, in turn depending on a much larger pool of key supporters.
To add further to the list,
7) The royal family can also exert influence, mostly through Qualm. That influence can't really be ignored. And they wanted the baka ouji on the throne. Getting the hero of the story on the throne would mean pointless tensions, when they can achieve their goal more efficiently, and with the support of the royal faction.

P.S. Turns out >>18932 is the best description of this anime. Nice.

 No.19975

>>19973
As a comparison, the arabs would have ruled by strongarming the economy, using the distribution of oil as a bludgeon, and by controlling in a top-down manner the Crown and ACCA - any dissent in one of these factions can be suppressed by using the other faction. Thus they need relatively few key supporters to keep their rule. Jean, in turn, has to oppose them, so he needs to somehow wrestle the control of their key supporters out of their hands. That means that he has to become corruptible in order for these key supporters to switch to him. That's just the reality of politics.
However, the director-general Mauve in comparison has to answer to ACCA's internal regulations; to Jean's department; to the judicial system we saw not even a hint of - but there is no country without a judicial system, and Mauve doesn't have parliamentary immunity; to each and every of the governments of the thirteen - I mean, twelve countries; to the Crown; and she has to not anger the economy too much. More key supporters means that no individual key supporter is too important, so she can be less corruptible in her circus act of balancing influences. Especially after she dealt with the strongest faction early on: the Crown.

On the flipside, Jean is now in an even better position to direct the progress of the country than if he became a king. He has influence over every key faction in the country (royal faction by blood, ACCA by position, he is friends with some people in the countries' governments, and don't forget he also has deep ties in the economy), and everybody knows he could have taken the throne had he wished for it. So, he at the same time is free to introduce change, and will not suffer any possible negative consequences from that change. Perfection.

Also I think Shindo made a big mistake by not giving a proper explanation to the autistic girl or possible even telling her at all.

No wonder whatshisname was crying in the last episode, Shindo gave him one heartless request. Though if whatshisname was the only one raising the kid, how did it learn so much about the anisotropic? Why was the kid any different to Saraka in abilities when Saraka had spent millions of years living in the cocoon? I guess Shindo must just have magical power activating sperm. And yet with all of the kid's powers, she couldn't bring Shindo back. Then she just fucks off after Saraka forces her naturalist world views on the entire world when the only negative we ever saw was zaShunina going full assimilation mode.

This is the first show that's made me cry for quite a while.

That said, these last few episodes were pretty rushed, and a lot of things went unanswered or without much explanation. I don't know where the source material is at in terms of story, but if this had a few more episodes I'm sure it would have been incredible.

Yeah, me too.
>Oh all the moments this episode had, what hit me hardest somehow was seeing pic related.
Reminds me how seeing the upward tea stalk in the cup of Shichika at the very end of Katanagatari was what broke me back then. That was probably the last moment before this one that I've cried so much on. Damn, it's been what, six or seven years?

Anyway, back on track.

This show could have used two things:
- starting in media res with the third or fourth episode
- using three or four more episodes to cover more answers and build up the world more
It certainly didn't know exactly how to do the worldbuilding, lacking the finesse to answer questions before they are asked. And it certainly started losing the plot near the end, allowing edge to seep through the slice of life-ish atmosphere up to then. They did go back to it with these awkward smiles at the very last scene, of course. All in all, these gripes are what's stopping it from being a masterpiece in my eyes. Which is unusual, I tend to whine about things that make a series below average, not about things that make a series below outstanding.

But you know what would be great?
A second season ala Diebuster: new characters, who follow the legends around the previous set of characters, exploring the world to much deeper level, with the last episode having the old main characters come back. I'd watch the shit out of something like this. Never gonna actually happen, of course.

I dunno man, I watched Katanagatari about two years ago, and the ending just annoyed the hell out of me due to the lack of consequence.

>- starting in media res with the third or fourth episode

Nah, I thought the way it started was pretty good. Setting up the tragedy of the finale made it clear what kind of story it was going to be, and made a lot of the happy moments more meaningful as you knew what was coming. Imagine how butthurt people would be if they just enjoyed the SoL of the early episodes and then had to deal with where it went.

>All in all, these gripes are what's stopping it from being a masterpiece in my eyes. Which is unusual, I tend to whine about things that make a series below average, not about things that make a series below outstanding.

Nah, it's understandable. It was a fine show with some great directing, but it's probably not something I'll ever watch again.

Definitely not happening, the LNs continue on with the same characters.

The translation manages to make me mad even after watching the whole anime raw.
>Why is it you here and not my papa?
or if we want to be more literal
>Teru, why aren't you my papa?

In my opinion,
>How come you aren't my dad, Teru?
implies that she wants Teru to be her dad instead of her actual dad, which is obviously wrong. She wants the exact opposite.

I know what this season missed. Several more episodes, but not from Yasaburo's PoV. We needed at least one or two from Benten's PoV. We needed one from Kaisei's PoV. Probably one with Gyokuran too. And a full episode just with Yajiro. Yasaburo didn't do too much for the plot of S2 anyway, the series should have branched off in the other PoVs too. This would also change the structure the audience perceives, better fitting the somewhat more chaotic and disjointed nature of the second season, and culminating in all the love stories being tied up.

Then again, Benten's airashiisa makes me forgive everything. All the charm is still there, just with weaker season framing and a need for more diversity and fluff.

That was a very enjoyable episode, though it went further with the consequences than I expected or wanted.

I was satisfied by the first few episodes, mostly because I like such stories, but certainly after the first arc it became a 9/10 or even 10/10 anime. It's definitely my most favourite new series for the year up to now. I've never ever enjoyed the communication between little kids so much. This needs a second season with even more slice of life.

Well it is not really a romance anime, even if it with the idea of girls liking the boys in it. Most of the interactions are on the level of bromance with (female) Hikaru feeling embarrassed on her own.

But while we are talking about shoujo series with male casts I should name a few.
Kimi to Boku is pretty good, though the characters are not nearly as manly as in Kenka Banchou, but probably not too far form the regular faggish Japanese boys either. It is a little slow in the beginning, but it gets to some very interesting stories and interactions (with girls). It has a very shoujo slow atmospheric animation and a great OST with it.
Then there is the Nijiiro Days. It has even more interactions between boys and girls with some very legit couples going on. It has a more comedic nature and the characters are more energetic than Kimi to Boku, so it is not as "comfy" perhaps.
And then there is Shounen Hollywood. Despite being about a male idol group and written by a woman it probably has the most realistic portrayal of teenage boys I have ever seen. It is a little slow with the character introduction episodes, but even they have their moments. It is very philosophic, in the sense it lets the characters question what they are doing a lot, without it coming as annoying drama, but proper character growth. In other words, young man finding their place in society. It is very unique in that sense. It also has some very nice and somewhat unique idol elements including some episodes where the whole episode is talk show, or a play or something without dealing with behind the scene events, but just letting us see them in action.

This actually got to me. I thought they'd drop like Guri's mom or something just to make even more of a mess out of the last episode, but no.

Anyway, the girls' dedication towards each other is admirable, but this anime really misses on more sexual tension between them. We should have at least gotten some innocent playing around between Guri and Yuzu. If that issue was fixed, I'd have held this series in quite the high regard. Everything else was pretty nice, after all.

That's fucking stupid. The correct answer is "as long as the guy who hired him knows about his criminal history, everything is okay". All in all, a really cringey last episode.

But the funniest part was how Heine actually introduced the princes to socialism. And the princes thought that by demonstrating how socialistic they became, they'd convince the nobles to keep Heine. In real life the nobles would just make sure to see Heine's cold body by the time the clock strikes midnight.
