>>20915I don't think the setting is magic enough for her to be revived. Other than in the end, in case it is a "revive everyone" end, which I doubt.
The first episode was really just a bait and switch, though kind of a poor one. But maybe Nisio was never too good with such things? The second episode is a lot more like a Nisio work, with a lot of talking, inner thinking and scheming.
No.21065
>>20918I mean, it was pretty obvious that
Wolf was going to end up dead, with all that monologuing going on. At this point I'm expecting whoever gets the most time spent rationalising in the next episode to die too.
No.21099
>>21091Yeah I wasn't given a single reason to care about Chicken. Wow she's been a psycho all her life big fucking deal. I hope we get a character I can latch onto soon because I'm really starting to not care.
Also, Monkey appears 4th in the ED after Boar, Dog and Chicken. But that's just a coincidence right?
No.21100
>>21099>But that's just a coincidence right?I sure hope it is just red hearing. She is basically the most interesting character so far, because the others talk about her and there is a sense of mystery and expectation to it. And she is the only one that seems to have some plan different from just simple winning the event. If she is killed what do we have left, Ox killing people until Rat kills him? The ones we haven't focused on at all for now look like filler episodic characters.
At heart I am not the biggest Nisio fan, but damn it, something must happen eventually. The closest this is to his other works (that I have read) is Medaka Box, super generic, until an event happens. The novel is getting a damn sequel this December. It is why the anime is even being made. And surely this means the novel was popular.

I just realized that because this is written by Nisio, of course one of the characters is actually the Cat. Or, well, at least the Cat will turn up at some moment.

>>21233Mouse is cat. You can tell by how much he sleeps.
No.21252
>>21244And it seems completely normal for the actual Mouse to not actually turn up, but to sneak around.
It's too obvious for a nisio work. No.21253

Fuck, Kumagawa was so fucking goodI would hate to meet him but he was so enjoyable(.)(.)

>>21279No but, Medaka Box III when
It dropped off literally right as it was getting good.

>>21388Season 2 ends with Kumagawa's introduction scene. And then it has an extra original episode of Kumagawa in his previous school.
No.21390
>>21388It's actually not a bad adaptation, but they obviously hate money considering they didn't do a third season.
I mean, a fucking third season would have everybody drop their panties and buy both the BDs and the manga in order to squee more effectively at Kumagawa. But nooo. We can't have nice things.
When searching for a snapshot to post I automatically started writing "kumagawa". Frankly, Kumagawa since his introduction and Zen since the end of the tower arc stole the show so much I barely remember Medaka herself. No.21391
>>21390Well the meta event that happens when Zen gets turned into a #sidecharacter is that Medaka gets stripped of main character status (and so does everyone else), hell that's explicitly what Devil Style does.
Kumagawa was just the best.

>>21390>they obviously hate money considering they didn't do a third seasonYou could say the same for Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon or any of the other Kawakamiverse series.
No.21401
>>21395Em was pretty nice.
Did Nisio ever clarify if Kumagawa porked the swimsuit girl?
No.21695
>>21692I don't really know either, but I expect Nisio to pull garbage and have an ebin tweest. The premise was dumb to begin with, but then again, the premise of Medaka Box was kind of dumb to begin with. What I'm more interested in is what sort of wish these guys could possibly offer, and more importantly, how powerful they must be if Ox doesn't just threaten to off them if they don't grant his wish.
No.21908
What the fuck? They spend the whole episode on a pointless flashbacks. Didn't we already learn last episode the brothers are quirky and crazy? What was even the fucking point? To talk about morality? They didn't even do that. I don't get what's the point of anything in this anime.

How lame was it?
No.22308
>>22307Rabbit turned into a zombie monstrosity, Monkey's corpse pinned down Ox and then Rat nuked the three of them with Sheep's bomb. And I am probably making it sound more interesting that it is. And then we got a reveal about what Rat's power is and it is
being able to decide from different possible futures. Next episode we get the wish fulfilment.
No.22310
>>22305It was garbage. I don't know what they were trying to accomplish, but it didn't work. It was actually, ACTUALLY worse than Apocrypha. I didn't think that would be possible but at least Apocrypha had a beautiful fight or two.

>>22391>Might have been more interesting.I think so too. This last episode is my favorite.
