Musashi's pants are an issue. He ditched his belt along with his mining gear, but there's nothing taking its functional place. Think of the cosplayers, Ohtaka!
It's honestly kind of appalling how good the character writing is in this series, when compared to the middling artistic effort (designs aside). Tsugumi's arc started and if the colors (and protags) weren't just so loud I would have thought I was watching another show. Too often we get characters "saved" from abuse by the shounen protagonist who immediately recover from all its effects as if healed by Precure magic, but Orient correctly depicts that recovery as an ongoing process that Tsugumi has to work for constantly, by her own power. Yeah, it's sometimes played for uncomfortable comedy, but it avoids feeling disrespectful because by that point, we the audience actively care about her recovery. Also, this reminds me there's a 12th episode I need to watch. It wrapped up neatly at 11 but I guess the season really "ended" with the start of the next arc. |

Very late to finishing it (midway through the second cour, even) but I guess it's... fine? There's nothing that really sticks out to me as amazing but it's fine to watch and not really pay 100% attention to. Episode 12 is really weird though, it felt like this cour could have ended with episode 11 but I guess there wouldn't be any hook to get you to come back in 3 months that way.
B- is a very generous score for art and animation though, to be honest both are pretty bad. What sticks out to me the most is the flashback to after Musashi's parents died in episode 8 where the whole thing was just a slideshow for a good 5 minutes. |
