Ah, Rinne. Why would you believe anything Atropos says at this point? She's been saying everything's your fault for a couple dozen episodes. I guess if one views Atropos as an allegory of anxiety or depression, it can work--knowing a concern is objectively trivial but feeling emotionally incapacitat...

I'm going to give it a solid 3. There were several issues with pacing, and some story decisions that may have been budget-related but make virtually no sense in-world. It was nice to see Ryuuga and Zaruba again, but between its being over 5 years since we've seen Ryuuga and no one familiar for him t...

That was a good ending. It was certainly satisfying and had everything one could ask for, though it never felt like it went beyond that. Not sure why I want any more; maybe it's just disappointment at no one else showing up? Anyway, I appreciate the amount of screen time the armor gets this time aro...

Oooh, that makes more sense

This was a massive improvement over the last episode. Some similar concepts, but this one feels far more character-driven. Gotchard pulling out one of his older forms supports a theory I have that these two episodes were repurposed from some Act 1 drafts. (One of his Gotchard's first major upgrades ...

So, the new form looks gorgeous, but wasn't Iron Gotchard's intro... (checks) less than a month ago? I'm hoping the writer's getting all the forms out of the way as fast as he can before telling the story he wants. On to the good parts: at several points, the directing was astounding, and really sel...

Not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't this; for me, this may be the strongest episode yet. If they had to do a single-episode corruption/de-corruption story, this was the way to do it. They nailed the balance between drama, action, and character building that had been a major challenge for th...

Very much agreed; from what I've seen, whatever they end up doing, it's clear they committed to it Update re. the Forbidden Fruit page: I just noticed the OP includes a few frames of a more detailed view of some of the earlier text; combining it with the first image gave something more consistent, b...

Gate of Destruction page--unlike last time, only a fraction of each line was showing, so the below lines may not connect correctly or even make sense, but I think there's some information to be gained from it nonetheless. The most notable term for me is honoobito/炎人, which I'm dubbing "The Man ...

Sounds like a battery problem. Assuming it's on Windows, then when it's plugged in and on, there should be a battery icon in its list of small icons at the right side of the taskbar; if one clicks it, it will most likely say it's running on power only, but it's possible it will give some a more help...

Progress update--the Forbidden Fruit anatomy page gave us the letter P (from はっぱ/happa/leaves), the last Japanese letter missing! I've updated the font with this, alongside a hyphen (found in the forbidden fruit's right-hand text wall) and a more accurate letter S. I decided to take a look at the fr...

Huh; so yeah, it looks like Souma's angst, willful obliviousness to his father, and, again, messing around with darkness made him the perfect candidate for Mutsugi's scheme. It doesn't help that they’re right next to the Door of Darkness--uh, I mean the Gate of Destruction--which may be closest it's...

For possibly the first time since Geryon took over as the big bad, it feels like the story's really going somewhere! It's still mostly the villains who are doing the interesting stuff, though Kudou's dad stepping in certainly helped. It also looks like we're going to see what opening the Gate of Des...

Just translated the stone tablet's contents on this thread ; that last sentence is particularly interesting in light of this episode's ending--the tablet mentions that "It's said that the righteous ones of the past have left many behind," and we've just now started to learn why Godou's bee...

Decided to try and transcribe the stone tablet from the latest episode; no idea if the info actually spoils anything, so tagging just in case. Some parts are definitely more accurate this time, but only time will tell for sure Definitely didn't get everything right this time ("yi" isn't a ...
