It's not a battle shonen and I think some people might be expecting it to be. It's more of a drama about growing up and growing old I think.

A lot of kino this episode.

is this a battle shonen?

>>283263341

The implications are blatant, but is it just yuribait or does it really go in that direction?
Waste of a good character dynamic if so.

How
>>
>>283264039
Not really? I feel like it's an entirely new genre sometimes
>>
>>283264103
it's very much love from ono's perspective, but ofuyu doesn't really understand it herself at that point in time
it DOES go in that direction eventually though, because ofuyu slowly realizes what was going on with ono

>>283264708
don't worry ono gets dropped too, guess modern medicine isn't all that. but ofuyu also gets "dropped" in the process, combination of things makes her take a leave away from both sanda and the story itself for a pretty good chunk, which fucking sucks
>>
>>283264103
Ono is gay and horny, Fuyumura is just a kid who doesn't know anything about love but she got attached to the first person who was kind to her
>>
>>283264803
Thanks for responding sincerely. After that is there any hint Sanda & Shiori may end up together? Watching yuri romance as a straight man is like reading NTR to self-insert as the loser.
>>
>>283261578
He really looks like that guy I drew

I've seen a lot of anime but I really do think this is one of the weirder things I've seen. It's even more fascinating that it's directed really gorgeously and has really really good music. Love you Science Saru, Yuasa taught you well.

the series doesn't really hinge on romance itself, more so in that these relations come in multiple forms while growing up and getting old. there are a few different forms of love throughout the series, all of them are pretty interesting
ofuyu frequently gets flustered when characters ask her if she's interested in sanda, but sanda's also pretty ignorant. he gets another love interest in niko, literally his government-assigned wife for the purpose of ensuring the future of japan, but even she also starts to question if sanda really loves her or WANTS to love her since he's much more engaged with ofuyu in her eyes, mainly due to their bond from the events of the first few arcs that the anime is going to cover. which gets pretty sad, she tries her damndest, and she's cute. there's like 10 more chapters of the manga that need to be translated so i haven't bothered looking at how the series ends, but as it stands currently, sanda devoted himself to protecting ofuyu. whether that ends up becoming love, i don't know yet lol
>>
Good episode

Thanks again m8.

Sanda showed interest in her but they seemed to be setting up some Adventure Time style lesbian cuckery. It's normal to not want to watch that.

He literally said two episodes ago that the only thing he can feel is a desire to save children. Nowhere here is he showing romamtic interest.
Also it's a fucking show about a kid turning into Santa and lesbians is where you draw the line?

Because it's degenerate and undermines the wholesomeness of Santa as a figure that cherishes and protects children and their innocence.

Sanda accusing Fuyumura of using his Santa form as a substitute father figure for emotional support later on in the manga kinda made me forget how much sexual tension Sanda had towards her in the earlier arcs, mainly cause it eventually gets redirected towards his inner struggle with Niko.
