She's low on the 10 scale in the show. Not fat or fundamentally ugly, but plain, blown out by drugs/E3, and probably a lot older than the main girls. Even her hair color is reminiscent of someone going gray or with a bad dye job that's fading out.

I bothered to watch this anime since you guys were watching and discussing it, and honestly? Part of me wishes i hadn’t.

The MC is actually great, he’s like the truest representation of a morally great character. The characters overall are pretty good, too. I also like that the fighting isn’t dumb shonen bullshit. Sadly, I think the ending was mediocre, and the quality was seriously bad in a lot of instances. I think you guys only liked this because you wanted to fuck the schoolgirls.
>>

Oh, and I’m surprised by how woke the series is. I was positively shocked by the Ainu representation, that’s very rare to witness.

We liked the show because we liked the story and the main character as well. Not just the girls. It just hurts to see the action and overall quality suffer from such poor production values. If that wasnt an issue, it would tie everything together much better for a more wholesome experience.

Japan in the setting is clearly on a steep decline that extends even to the basic culture. All of the drug lords call themselves dark lords because they're poorly educated and grew up steeped in bottom-barrel trash like isekai LNs or widespread yet entry level things like Dragon Quest. The Braves are similar kids being taught under a delusion that they're just like the protagonists from children's shows and similar media that the dark lords would have grown up with. That's why the academy cranks out literal child soldiers wearing sērāfuku over tacticool wetsuits. It's that societal decline which makes the E3 conflicts in the cities be Hadlar and Dai LARPers fighting to the death.

Yashiro is (IIRC) 24, I think the oldest one of the girls might be is 17. You're right about Jogamine possibly having the mind of a child, but she might also just be poorly educated by everyone but her dad and using some of her rushed antics as a coping mechanism with her personal circumstances. Another thing is that Yashiro might genuinely see Aki as a little sister or adopted daughter based on how Aki's dad basically adopted Yashiro. A lot of how Yashiro treats Aki might actually be how Yashiro was treated in turn.

>>290070649
I'm going by what's conveyed in the show. It's clear that the characters are aware of stories like the King Arthur myths and The Lord of the Rings (they're directed named in the show), and these stories shape how people present themselves in general. The leader of the Braves intentionally named himself King Arthur Pendragon (even if it's a code name) and considers his best soldiers his Round Table. Also, to be blunt, the Braves are called "Yuusha" in Japanese, the common term for heroes from video games, LNs, and anime. The dark lords are clearly getting their titles either from Sauron in The Lord of the Rings (they probably don't even know about The Silmarillion and Morgoth) or the generic term for a demon king ("Maou") that's everywhere in video games and so on. Even with Braves who generally know better, there's an undercurrent of people being rather childish by playing an equivalent to Magic: The Gathering in bars. There's a kind of childish immaturity at play for almost every character. The Ainu drug lord might be one of the only exceptions, as he simply lives in a way to embrace and continue his long-imperiled culture. He's also out on the fringes and wouldn't be exposed to many LNs and the like.

Also, the dark lords clearly look like LARPing losers dressed in cheap wizard robes in modern buildings. Some buildings are pretty lousy too, like the Count of Thorns' HQ.
>>
>>290074092
I liked the subtle detail about why Ishino probably had those dresses. Hands man wasn't necessarily just talking shit when he called Ishino a murderer. Ishino might have been a serial killer who targeted women and the guys at the bar either awkwardly suspected it but didn't want to confirm anything or tried to awkwardly hope Ishino had long since stopped doing that. The dresses come into play at a time when Yashiro is too hopped up on vengeance to face all of the ramifications of the storage space really having those dresses in them too, even if part of him is counting on the dresses being there. Yuusha no Kuzu did a good job of writing Yashiro's mental compartmentalizations and how he'd have to quickly and carefully navigate certain thoughts and what to say both for himself and to not distract or discourage the girls. The girls wearing those dresses none the wiser for several episodes also added to the simultaneously fucked up yet humorous setting and tone of the story.
>>
>>290068873
>Arthur has Braves wear sērāfuku
>sērā
>He named his daughter Sara (Sera)
For fuck's sake. For all his bitching and dickhead behavior to keep her out of being a Brave, he literally tried to name her after the role and set her up both with the expectations and, due to what the curriculum is, to fail. This guy is an even bigger prick who still hit his daughter with baggage despite not naming her something like Mordred for his LARP.

>>290034435
>>290037597
>>290061295
I think the messier hair works far better to emphasize Sara's character. The messier hair looks like a scraggly lion's mane, the kind an adolescent lion would have as it becomes an adult, thereby tying into the western side of Sara's family and the sort of British imagery her dad embraces by calling himself King Arthur. At the same time, it indicates that Arthur has not trained his daughter well and she hasn't come into her own yet, and along with how scrawny and lanky she looks in places, it contributes to this overall idea that she's weak, fearful, and greatly needs Yashiro's training. Sara's fangs also contribute to the lion look, and her using them to bite in the second season's last fight gives an extra thematic milestone to her growth as a Brave.
>>
>>290038412
Aki truly is the heart and soul of the series, with Yashiro being the brains that likewise hold the series together. Indou and Sara are great too, but they wouldn't work nearly as well without Aki.

Did the dino suit from the novels have the face visible? I'm curious how closely Yashiro is risking ruining Aki's plan to save the count at all. The public and Brave organization thinks she was killed in that tower, right?

Shame the QUALITY was so bad but damn the writing was great. Pizza, beer, card game bros, I won't forget you.

>>290085060
The frequent chibi stuff really helped mitigate the QUALITY and held the visuals together like Spidey with the train. I wonder how much of that was their first choice and how much was an emergency measure. It paired well with the warped sense of levity.

no it was full body, and i doubt anyone looking for her would expect to find her in a track suit, or even in casual clothes since being a demon lord is a big thing and they probably don't just disappear unless actually dead

These guys' heads remind me of Godzilla. I wonder if the original novels made any mention of that, or if they didn't want stuff in the series itself being directly compared to stories the characters would know unless it was like a public domain thing (King Arthur).

Ah, that seems like a pretty bad thing for them to know then! Arthur could use it as an excuse to yank Sara out of the training or storm Ed's bar at any time, disingenuously accusing them of harboring a major criminal. The second season also ends at a point where it feels like Arthur would be willing to do whatever it took to get back to trying his "sponsored" cartel plan again, and knowing his selected dark lord is alive would provide an easy opportunity to resume business as usual. The rest of the cartel (at least with a Half-Dragon tie) roaming free in the ending despite how easy it'd be to arrest them post-fights gave me the impression that Arthur chose to put them right back on the street. If the Count was left beaten up in the skyscraper too, Arthur would have probably just had her selling E3 within a week. In light of Yashiro already figuring out Arthur was Half-Dragon, the way he chose to fulfill Aki's request to jail the Count seemed to be based on a full awareness that Arthur wouldn't send any other Braves to arrest her and would probably get in the way of the police. For the makeshift prison sentence to work, I figured there was a cover story that the Count was killed in the tower raid. It'd be too easy for Arthur to claim custody over the matter, "jail" the Count for two seconds, and then send her back on the street otherwise.

Of course, this all falls apart if Sara doesn't know her dad is Half-Dragon yet and casually mentions something about it. Presumably though, she was asked to keep it under wraps off-screen, along with whatever logistics had to happen to convince the Hokkaido cartel allies to humor the plan, followed by dragging the count out of the tower and to a doc who'd remove her organ.

I heard about the thing with her former men in another thread, but not too many details. I inferred it to be something set much later after incidentally meeting Twin Pincers somewhere.

It's an LN. You think is a high brow meta-commentary on tropes, but it's more likely meant be tropey and pulpy and fun more than it is anything else. It isn't LN poisoned in that the author wanted to make that point, it's LN poisoned in that the author is an LN writer.
>>
>>290075628

Also I'd say he does things like explicit Dragon Quest homage because he likes the stuff, not because he hates it. So I don't think 'poisoned" is even the right term.

>>290097683
Ahh good point. I didn't realize that. Point still stands that he's an LN writer. I think it's just simply he wanted to just take fantasy tropes and put them in modern japan, nothing about "well you see the kids all grew up reading isekai and playing DQ and it mind rotted them to acting as heroes." Like it's just a pulpy fantasy story meant to be fun. I don't think it's fully irony poisoned, even if Yashiro is pretty cynical of a character.

I'm not saying that the author thinks all LNs ever and popular things like Dragon Quest are inherently bad, but the setting he created is clearly one where the culture and education have sunk to the lowest common denominator to form their miserable world. Really bad LNs are already part of that lowest common denominator in Japanese culture, and turning back to the story, there's clearly meant to be a cringeworthy aspect to the dark lords playing dress-up while in compounds that are as plainly modern as can be. Even the Count of the Venusian Veil, who committed enough to the gimmick to build a full novelty castle in Hokkaido, is portrayed like an insipid brat for building a fantasy castle he probably saw as a kid while his daily "business" kills a lot of real kids in the north, such as Indou's friends. Also, even with his full castle, most of the Veil count's fighting takes place in the experimentation and database room where he poignantly sticks out like a sore thumb. Wit and maturity are rare in the setting, and the more a character has their shit together, the less of that chuuni stuff they wear and partake in.

And I'm saying that is purely your head canon. Like we only saw a very small piece of the world. Never once did the story focus on anyone normal, and student from the girls academy are not by any means normal. But we do see people just eating food and chilling in public, objective glimpses of normality. And that's the thing, it really comes off as he just wanted to take the LN fantasy stuff and put it in a normal modern world. You should look up old pulp magazines, that's literally what this is an equivalent up. Stuff is allowed to be fun and shallow, you don't have to have a crazy irony poisoned meta commentary to justify it.
>>
>>290099813
Anon, even the lowest common denominator can eat food and chill in public. The fact that the setting has an entire academy that publicly trains chuuni (derogatory) child soldiers says a lot about their society already. There's a consistent absence of anyone mentioning that normal people think Braves and dark lords are chuuni brats (IIRC), implying this is too comfortably common. The author does enjoy some pulp, but he still indicated that the degree to which people in the setting live out pulp is a bad thing. Stuff like Yashiro and pals playing their card game is closer a healthy version of enjoying that in the setting.

Only if most of the public isn't out there hopped up on E3 trying to kill you.

Which is looked down upon and really isn't considered a good thing, besides Aki who has grandiose ideas contrary to what the reality of being a "Yuusha" is that everyone else understands. It's not like its a prestigious school that rich people want their kids going to, as proven by Arthur. The thing is the author just never bothered to address anything that you considered canon, and that's why it's head canon. I suppose you could turn around and say what I'm saying is headcanon, but I"m just saying that I only take everything he presents at its actual face value and that digging as deeply into as you have not only is pointless but kind of seems wrong. But I don't know, maybe there's an interview out there or something that actually speaks to it. I enjoy the story so I would like to hear from the author about his inspirations and themes he was actually trying to portray.

That's what happens when the gang war starts, but they're not at that state yet in most of the episodes. A cartel-ridden dismal place like, say, Mexico can still have cafes.
>Which is looked down upon and really isn't considered a good thing, besides Aki who has grandiose ideas contrary to what the reality of being a "Yuusha" is that everyone else understands.
Braves who know better like Yashiro think the academy is a bunch of shit, but not everyone has necessarily faced that fact yet, and the school certainly isn't lacking in funds or the number of students. Aki is the most gung-ho about being a Brave by far, but it's implied she's not the only one to hold those moral ideals at the school. Yashiro's final words to Arthur in the season finale are in part about that. The society is too comfortable with the chuuni-encouraging child soldier boot camp funded on the public dime, implying that there's been a marked drop in moral values and wits, along with an increased permeation of lowbrow and childish things in their daily lives.

>The thing is the author just never bothered to address anything that you considered canon, and that's why it's head canon.

I feel that the author was pretty clear with how he wove the criticism of the lowbrow chuuni world into the narrative as a theme and undercurrent from the start. He hasn't explicitly stated that's a theme to my knowledge though. I don't know if he has any interviews, I just likewise enjoy the series and think its careful balance of chuuni elements that are both part of and try to mitigate its bleak reality is really unique.

Some of the dresses seemed to fit adults and it took a while to get ones that weren't too big or too small. Plus, him keeping the dresses in a storage locker implies he was either keeping them as trophies or as a way to hide evidence. Presumably he cleaned them at times to further hide evidence but still kept the dresses.
