Cosplay Haremettes, episode 4

TL/DR: cheesecake. Our Manic Pixie Cosplay Girl’s first photo collection is done, and Our Heroes head off to their first event, thoroughly underprepared. After a day of fail, they finally work up the nerve to get her into costume to get some attention, only to discover that she forgot to bring all sorts of things. Fortunately, The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pantsu are quite friendly, and help her make her public debut.

[Update: this is a 24-episode show, believe it or not]

Verdict: leave the potato, take the cheesecake.

A Swordsgal Of Furworld, episode 3

I have no idea where this is going, but going it is. With decent art and animation, and of course the voices.

Verdict: I hope they’re not slashing their way through the source material, but I can’t tell. There was a lot of infodumping this week, and it’s currently impossible to tell how much of it is relevant, and how much is just worldbuilding background.

Dungeon People, episode 4

In the first episode, Our Skilled Heroine went behind the curtain of the dungeon. This week, she went behind the curtain behind the curtain. And got evidence that her father really did make it to the tenth floor before disappearing. And came up with a convenient excuse to not, y’know, just ask what happened to him.

(whoops, wrong dungeon master!)

Potato’s Chibis, episode 5

(not delayed by the Olympics)

Thick as bricks, the pair of them. Crush-chan really is buying his lies about what he does in his free time, and Potato-kun is utterly oblivious to the fact that they’re going on a date, even after his friends explain it to him, and even during the date where she buys the outfit he likes the most and they exchange indirect kisses. I expected them to run into one of the adventure gals, but I guess it’s too soon for him to have to talk his way out of that one.

But first, the quickly-glossed-over exploration event where he’s partnered with Our Hot Naginata Gal and friends, who turn out to be from quite well-off families, so they’re carrying bags of holding instead of backpacks. Thanks to the conveniently-dropped magic steak knife from last week, he’s able to contribute without bringing out the Little Big Guns, but when the girls ask him to party up on a regular basis, he discovers that he’s totally chibi-whipped.

Finally, the truth about Crush-chan’s dad comes out, explaining why she’s so against his dungeoneering. The foreshadowing is strong in this one.

Verdict: okay, we’re getting to the OP part, now that he’s got a magic knife that does “whatever damage he imagines” in addition to a pair of pint-sized nukes. And they conveniently revealed that Servants don’t show up on camera, so he can keep them secret until they’re seen directly.

(wait ’til the chibis discover shopping!)
