    Soyuz probably was 3 or most probably 4, right when long term memory starts working.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Soyuz is super weird all over. He's this character that just suddenly appeared and was like "I've been here the whole time, and I have information on the place you're going." It's either suspicious as hell, or a complete ass-pull by the writer.

    There's enough named village characters already they could have given this Soyuz plot to someone like Magma or Kinro or something.

    Or he could have been an escapee they rescue while going there. Trust levels would be the same.

    Yeah, but then he'd have TOO much information, because he'd be an adult that was fully aware of what was going on on the island.

    Partial amnesia, one of the many plot tools available.
    Probably a bit better than what we had.

    On the other hand, I'm amused by Amaryllis actually being quite manipulative herself. It sucks a little that her cause at its core is noble and thus a little boring, but that seems to be the trend in this show.
    There aren't very many truly evil, selfish bastards. The ones that are actual scum are petty or worthless enough that they don't ultimately pose a threat. Let's see if the new antagonists buckle this trend.

    Episode 08

    ------------------





    Given that the stone shoots a "light", I wonder if it requires sunlight to work. That leaves the question of how it turns off after an attack to let you touch it again. If it always requires falling into the sea to "block sunlight" then that really makes it inflexible for all but controlling the island's borders.

    Going with the grenade idea, it's possible that you have to rub something on top of it to produce a temporary reaction too.

    In other news, Senku got kissed by Kohaku, the best girl in the series by a fair margin.

    Episode 09

    -------------------










    A few good laughs this episode.
    I'm loving the Kohaku focus since she's my favourite. All that said, I still like lioness Kohaku more than cute Kohaku.

    Episode 11

    -------------------







    Aaaand, that's it. No more episodes till October.

    This is a fun series. Some things are not believable, like the mice working without a remote control etc. Byakuya could also have really fucked it all up if he fell forward and smashed that bottle he was putting everything into. But little things aside that I can ignore since this isn't exactly a serious series, I love the general vibe and optimism that seems to carry through the series.

    I'm a little confused as to why Byakuya wouldn't have already sorted the platinum dust into a separate container from the gold dust. It's not like he didn't have the free time.

    I liked the quick decision making. Everyone played a part, and even Toddler Memory dude didn't feel like a complete ass pull.

    I know they won't kill best-girl Kohaku, but it still hurts to see her get petrified.

    The Petrification-Depetrification process is a cure-all blessing.
    So Kohaku should be even sharper than before.

    It looks like it cures stuff, but she's not sick. It doesn't enhance, as far as we know.

    She's healthy, strong, fast, suple and perfect eyesight. But even 2% or 5% boost is good to take.


    (Not useful for the story, but curing hidden/dormant conditions is another bonus.)

    One thing that I DON'T like, is that being de-petrified a 2nd time seems get rid of all their cool crack markings. Like Ryusui fingers.

    I mean, it makes sense. The cracks in their skin are where the cracks in their statues were. And when they get restored right away, they don't have any cracks in their statues. But it still makes them look less cool.

    So the activation is the petrification radius and delay timer - in English! Medusa was created by the evil Americans :P

    Oh yeah. That's true.

    I would say that that'd make sense 100% if it weren't for the fact that the Japanese adore the British in general.
