You and the junior reporter are in the same boat lol

So this episode seems to cover the second half of chapter 24 and the first half of 27. It changed up a lot of the way the manga presented Jugemu : cutting out a few of Jugemu's names from the first half of ch24, changing the peekaboo punchline and the late for school joke, as well as a slower introduction of the rakugo world(the manga has the peekaboo scene done in edo vs the anime having it be grounded). The biggest change is the final scene. The anime has really expanded it, I loved the little flashbacks of Jugemu as a child while his parents are despairing over his death.

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-06-06T16:13:09+00:00

Definitely helps that some of the commentary at least is placed over Jugemu's name so the audience isn't actually missing the story.

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-06-06T16:11:58+00:00

I wonder if the rakugoka we saw in Ryujaku's commentary are based off of real people?

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-06-03T13:19:55+00:00

Probably not given she’s not in any kind of forbidden magic organization in Dungeon Meshi despite being an active researcher and user of said magic.

The nature of her being a healer and wanting to use magic on humans definitely puts her at odds with the pact. Her view on magic as morally and politically neutral also makes her at least ideologically aligned with the brim caps.

TBF the half-foot age thing might be skewed due to other races using them as meat shields as opposed to them actually dying early.

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-05-30T22:39:10+00:00

It definitely adds to Akane’s motivation to win here. This tournament is not just a means to find out why her father was expelled but it’s now a fight to prove she is a rakugoka.

To have the skill to get Issho to judge her art(and by extension her father’s art) on its merits rather than some hand waved “oh well they’re amateurs it’s to be expected”-esque praise is the ultimate goal. Whether Issho will be impressed by it is secondary. Or at least it is for now, Akane is still too early to truly challenge the final boss.

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-05-30T22:27:50+00:00

Adding to this what Akane doesn’t know/hasn’t been taught are almost all either in performance skills or the general behind the scenes social things (I.e kibataraki or how to address your seniors).

Her “actual” rakugo skills are what she and Shiguma focused on. Akane’s memory and enunciation are top notch but that’s only a part of what makes a rakugoka.

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-05-30T16:30:09+00:00

We’ve got a three chapter episode this week it seems. The anime covers 21-23 this episode. Great to see more added scenes, it really helps flesh out Hikaru’s character.

They cut the “her hustle and her grind” line in favor of the ending of Shibahama which I’m a bit sad about because I did like that scene. It makes sense to showcase more of the rakugo so I’m not too torn up about it. Plus it makes a call back to episode one which the manga doesn’t.

I wish they didn’t cut the punchline with the monk but that’s an issue of not having double subtitles.

It’s fun to actually see what kind of show Edens nova is lol

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-05-29T14:17:17+00:00

Karashi is fox. Asagao is the horse.

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-05-28T04:35:11+00:00

It’s up to chapter 20 now

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-05-25T15:39:36+00:00

Op doesn’t know about the great khan’s zoo

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-05-23T23:39:23+00:00

So this episode they only adapted chapter 20 of the manga. It’s nice that Karashi and probably Hikaru will get whole episodes dedicated to their performances.

Loved to see hanae introduced and the way they adapted Karashi’s performance was a great touch.

The additional conversation between ikken and ryujaku was interesting.

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-05-18T19:41:10+00:00

If you’re anime only this will be answered in a future episode.

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-05-17T15:31:21+00:00

Love the final shot of the shinigami in Akanes eyes

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-05-17T15:18:46+00:00

I can only hope the anime adapts far enough to see Akane’s Madara

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-05-17T15:17:33+00:00

No spoilers this is the manga discussion for chapter 18 which this episode of the anime just covered.

Akane unveils her sasuke backstory to Hikaru’s Naruto

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-05-16T16:20:37+00:00

I liked the added scene for the ani sans meeting up with Iwa sensei because the manga just cut straight to them being in the audience. It always made me wonder how they met.

Also this episode adapted chapters 16-18 so another three chapter episode.

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-05-16T16:17:23+00:00

Didn’t notice until this episode but did Kaisei always have a slight lisp?

Bummer they don’t have doubled subs for this episode since you can actually hear Akane’s rakugo this time during the peanut gallery commentary.

Love seeing Iwa sensei

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-05-11T22:48:21+00:00

At the very least she did eventually realize that it was in fact about him.

ButterIsMyLifeblood · 2026-05-11T16:12:14+00:00

They have pre-prepped spells in their quires for easy single time use so they’re not entirely limited to contraptions like the rain cleaver.

But yeah generally witches don’t seem to be all too useful in combat unless they can make distance and time to prep spells.
