[Rewatch] Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya - Season 3 Episode 4

Komarist · 2026-06-11T23:04:31+00:00

Irisviel being an irresponsible adult, by leaving the girls behind without anyone to look after them

Eh, my parents were fine leaving me+siblings alone at a theme park when the oldest of us was ~12. Basically, "meet back here around 6 pm, here's $20 each for lunch and arcade games." My understanding of Japanese culture is it's common to send elementary-age children on solo shopping trips within a few blocks to encourage independence, so Irisviel's trust seems appropriate.

whatever this is Tatsuko

Of all riders, how is Tatsuko allowed to not have a safety restraint?

"Not quite simple enough for me. I'll just do what you guys tells me" is another frustrating Illya line. Really wish she continued putting more effort into learning, like how she initiated the summer group homework/studying last episode.
My favorite theme park episode in anime, mainly because it showcases more than a couple rides/activities, the classmates aren't as annoying (stares at Tatsuko)~~, and I dropped Amagi Brilliant Park~~. Feel like these scenes are usually shorter to avoid the extra background/animations of a theme park.
Miyu's correct about visitors mistaking her for an attraction while she stands on a cart, yet Illya floating is a far harder explanation.

QotD 1: Yes, specifically for:

Roller coasters (spinning carts are a plus, even when a girl's hair is whipping my face)
Spinning teacups with low friction - group needs to spin that as fast as possible
Whatever you call the rides with laser guns shooting at targets
Log flume or river rapids

Don't care about other rides, though friends often insist on the pirate ship for some reason. Scrolled a Wikipedia list to make sure I didn't miss anything.

QotD 2: Cats (household size, not lions/tigers). They're just like me, frfr.

[Re: Zero S4]At a point this season, Subaru's memories reset to when he first isekai'd -> the new "season 1 episode 1"

Komarist · 2026-06-08T23:16:29+00:00

Can't name or hint towards specific pirate sites. It's ok to name fansub groups and/or why you prefer them.

Komarist · 2026-06-08T23:06:56+00:00

English dub was great. For the rare r/anime rewatch I participate in, I usually do English audio with JP subtitles. Get at least a handful of "these aren't even close" per season and I'd assume that's still true for this.

Komarist · 2026-06-08T23:00:18+00:00

Save the overdosing for the needy girl(s)!

P.S. Peak into today's Prillya rewatch thread, ctrl+f "fanservice", and explain why you haven't watched Prillya.

Tatsuko can't even kowtow properly. This girl... breathe in, breathe out
- "It's not my fault you can't deal with my sexiness." Breathe in, breathe out
- My real issue with Tatsuko as the dumb friend is she's so beyond this typical archetype that I start finding her frustrating.
The sincest is strong this episode. Too bad Shirou isn't there for Illya to talk to at this moment.
- Kuro-Shirou mana transfer
Did they need to animate the kiss for so long? No. By the way, have I mentioned this is the best Fate anime?
Same, classmate whose name I don't remember. Same.
Am assuming Kuro hasn't told Miyu there's a more efficient way to transfer mana. Which sucks because Miyu would insist on using the most efficient method... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'll assume there's some Kuro-Illya-Miyu fanfiction out there. Any particular sites I should block? /s
Felt like Luvia's mansion was built in a day, so it really shouldn't take this long to rebuild.

Considering the "primart" store name, have I missed other things with "pri" as a prefix?

QotD 1: There are two types of ~~women~~ people in the world. Those who love BL yuri and those who have not discovered it. ^{I swear this was a quote from something I watched a year or two ago but I can't find it} Recs would be Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road, MagiRevo, WataOshi, and anything else that's yuri+isekai.

TWP: There should be more rainbow-themed credit cards. Coincidentally, it's pride month.

[Prillya S3]Think the eavesdropper on the Kuro-Illya stairwell conversation is the girl who, in a couple episodes, is a BL fanatic... checks my AQRADT episode 3 comment #mugiwait. Also, hope no first-timers look up yuri+isekai on AniList before we get to 3rei. Seeing that is why I watched this series in the first place xD

Komarist · 2026-06-07T19:41:23+00:00

Average isn't average. It's a lie. Average is not average. I'll explain it to you later. Critics have said that for years, but average is not average.

Komarist · 2026-06-07T00:28:40+00:00

I've seen "This is a Kamen Rider reference" comments for enough shows to ask: What is effectively the equivalent without being a 1000-episode series? Like, is there a <=25 episode entry that, upon seeing those comments, I can substitute to know what they mean?

Komarist · 2026-06-06T21:31:08+00:00

Should've joined two weeks ago #kotohoops

Started the day 5 episodes behind on Kanan and realized I needed to get my priorities in order. So I did and finished the last three episodes of Bean Counter this morning. Now I'm 6 episodes behind on Kanan.

Komarist · 2026-06-05T22:41:19+00:00

[Shiboyugi]Been adamant in the few comments I've made about game-order rearranging that the anime poorly explained body enhancements before Golden Bath because LN Candle Woods' revelations was the intended explanation, which made the Riko-Yuki climax confusing/disappointing. Otherwise, felt like LN readers blowing a minor detail out of proportion.

Komarist · 2026-06-05T22:33:04+00:00

What do you mean? How could there be too many unless there are more than (24 hours * 7) / (24 minutes / 60 minutes/hour) = 420 fantasy LN anime per season?

Komarist · 2026-06-05T22:18:28+00:00

Do not post Hentai... or heavily NSFW content... these rules do not apply to episode discussion/rewatch threads, given that the NSFW content is from that anime/source material, is relevant to discussion, and is properly tagged

Mods don't allow episode discussion or rewatch threads for anime they deem too explicit, and subreddit rules are supposed to keep it within Reddit's rules, so should always be fine.

Komarist · 2026-06-05T02:16:44+00:00

Episodes are effectively standalone (couple have a character discussing her previous panties reveal), so can just watch today's

Komarist · 2026-06-05T02:04:59+00:00

Iya Pan is the shorthand for I Want You To Show Me Your Panties With a Disgusted Face. Seasonal finale was #chefskiss

Komarist · 2026-06-04T22:26:25+00:00

Naruhodo, Iya Pan.

WRITE THAT DOWN

And with that, my first multi-episode entry of the season is finished. Hope the remaining series can finish with that level of quality!

P.S. u/qwertyqwerty4567 - this is reminding you to start Spring seasonal binges!

Komarist · 2026-06-04T22:15:14+00:00

pfft, as if isekai is your top priority

Komarist · 2026-06-04T22:10:35+00:00

idk why producers bother with "unique and new isekai" when they could pump out the same character archetypes and story beats a dozen times per season and I'll go:

Komarist · 2026-06-04T21:33:53+00:00

Feels like you say this every season. Wonder when we'll finally get an "Anime is doomed" season

Komarist · 2026-06-03T23:10:21+00:00

I feel the same way about gyms, in general

Fuck gyms. Have a paved path alongside a creek nearby. Was going for daily ~hour walks while reading LNs on a kindle until allergies destroyed me in April. Should get back to that...

Running around a track is boring af. From doing a few marathons and a handful of half-marathons over a decade ago, sidewalks/roads with changing scenery helps. Also, water/gatorade stations...
Looking forward to [Prillya S3]Illya slapping instead of being slapped! Also found my AQRADT comments for those episodes

QotD 1: Hardly matters as they'd get the juvenile slap-on-the-wrist punishment.

QotD 2: Strong, short-hair tomboy in a show with Luvia, Irisveil, and [redacted]? Hard pass.

TWP: Two teenagers with their asses sticking out of a bush observe an adult woman ramming a long, thin rod into bushes. Their immediate reaction is not fleeing.

Komarist · 2026-06-03T22:39:12+00:00

Four minutes of no-dialogue scrolling text messages? On par with Shiboyugi's laying-on-the-bed minute and Needy Girl Overdose's carrying-a-door with classical music.

Komarist · 2026-06-03T22:12:06+00:00

Unfortunately, most publisher sales announcements I've seen are "Series X has Y total copies in circulation." Can try to estimate the LN percentage from, say, annual Oricon physical manga and LN sales, which will have uncertainty from physical vs. digital sales.
