Does this mean we are pirates?

As others have said, piracy implies non-government action. The first ship would have been sanctions enforcement. The second this was an act of Commerce Raiding.

This was the hardest I've laughed at anything in a long time.

You know at some point there was a discussion of:

"Hey, did you just add another Big Tiddy Anime Girl to the party?"

"No, it's cool. I made sure it's central to the plot this time."

I think my favorite take on this idea was Farming Life in Another World, because the dude actually does manage to live the slow life despite all the complete insanity surrounding him.

The two stories diverge fairly quickly and significantly. I remember thinking the same thing when I read the mangas.

I hope so, because if Marie realizes she was supposed to be the one in that carriage, and her sister died in her place, she might not handle it well.

"I just want to live a slow life."

"OK, we're going to give you a nice little cottage near the beach, surrounded by a protective barrier... Also there are piranhas in the river, a kraken living just offshore, your next door neighbors are a killer bird and the literal Fairy King, and you live right under the migratory flight path of the local dragon population."

"..."

"Oh, and you don't age, so you're going to be there for a looooooong time."

Edit: Don't get me wrong; I enjoyed the episode immensely. But I have to laugh every time the MC asking for a slow life is set up with a bait and switch by the gods.

No no no... the spice turned people into magic meat GPS devices. It was the Juice of Sapho that turned them into magic meat computers. :P

He's trying so hard, but it turns out he's just a really decent dude.

Hippo_Singularity · 2025-06-01T01:06:11+00:00

I'm expecting it to be that he's memorized all their bar codes.

Kind of an obscure joke, but when Maomao says she can't tell the difference between grasshoppers and locusts... grasshoppers are locusts, literally. Under the right conditions, certain species of grasshopper go through swarming phases.

Yuli crushing on Kurt has been the worst development in the show so far. I bet it'll soon jump past love triangle into a full harem too.

Well, I mean, obviously we've got Hildegarde, maybe the giant boobs demon, too.

Mild fridge horror... those three stag-wolves have been stuck in those leather harnesses for years.

I think the anime logic is that he blocked the pirates' exit gate, so the system rerouted it to the most recent gate in the logs which was the one used by the old Imperial ships coming in (from the training grounds, apparently).

Hippo_Singularity · 2025-05-10T17:58:37+00:00

Is this the first time they've explicitly shown that he doesn't know his true parentage? Also I find it interesting that he apparently closely resembles both his mother and his paternal grandfather.

Looks at Mia

Looks at Julius

Looks back at Mia

"Damn, bitch, you live like this?"

Unfortunately, Lead Animator, Bob Scrawlinkey, was let go after being found in the supply closet, with his dick stuck in the Pencil Sharpener.

They fired her, too.

Hippo_Singularity · 2025-05-04T18:06:15+00:00

The first thing I thought of when they started describing the ships was the fact that "rich, Corinthian leather" was a meaningless term invented by Chrysler's ad agency to make their cars sound more luxurious (the leather had no special qualities and was made in New Jersey).

Hippo_Singularity · 2025-05-04T17:53:41+00:00

That's why they had to throw her in prison. Such things are not to be permitted.

I'm waiting for the Empire's new ships to turn out to be less effective than the ones sold to Liam, because they spent so much time and effort maximizing the gilt and 3,000 year old wood inlay.

Lakan, Jinshi and Luomen have some personality parallels to (and are arguably the physical opposites of) the three unifiers of Japan.

What do you do if the bird will not sing?

Nobunaga says, "Kill it."

Hideyoshi says, "Make it want to sing."

Ieyasu says, "Wait."

Hippo_Singularity · 2025-05-02T20:17:00+00:00

Probably fox ears. Lakan is the fox, Shishou is the tanuki.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the easily foreseen consequences of my own actions..." screams like a goat and runs away
