It's my first magical anime so I wasn't aware that was normal. I honestly don't mind the chill episodes in any anime since they're in almost everything I've watched but what surprised me was that it was consecutive 5 episodes back to back which is pretty much half the season. I guess the pacing is different for this anime cuz I assume the next 5 would just straight up be action. Glad to see you're watching this along through my videos!! 🙌

Thought I'd go ahead and say one more thing.
This isn't filler. Nothing so far has been. It feels like filler because you are thinking of this series in the wrong way. This is a Magical Girl series. In this genre of anime, there's always a focus on the daily life aspect of the main characters, as well as their powers and battles. These last few episodes just happens to be the daily life segment.
Beyond that, they do serve a very clear purpose. You might not of caught it yet, but season 1 focused on Illya, season 2 Kuro, Now It's Miyu's turn. These five episodes have been showing something very important. Miyu is out of place. Common things that anyone should know, she doesn't. These episodes are building this up.
And no one call this spoilers because I've only ever seen the first season before watching this reaction. So we're going through this together.

Thanks for sharing the Yukata history 💯
Love the warning you gave LMAOOO but yeah we'll get to Made In Abyss someday since I'm always open to all kinds of anime

Just to add on to what others have said. The Yukata wasn't "Pajamas" like it said in the subs. It originated as a bathrobe for the nobility and wealthy. As it became more widely spread, it started seeing more use, especially in the humid and hot summers. Once it reached that point, wearing traditional underwear was common, and of course, normal underwear in modern times. Really, only when using it as it's original purpose, a bath robe, is no underwear the proper way.
The no underwear thing is a common trope/joke that shoes up a lot in anime. Especially more ecchi ones. That's how the idea continues to persist.
Also, please watch Made in Abyss. Failure to comply will result in a reduction of Luvia's screen time and an increase in Kuro's. This is your only warning. I'm joking of course, but I do want to see you react to it.

Oh yeah you're right I totally forgot it didn't exist before 🤣 but I know it did for men at least which was kind of like a small cloth on the front and back

Of cuz you don't wear underwear in the past because it doesn't even exist.
However no one follow this nowadays.
It's not a must.
This just something you use to fool a foreigner.

Ok so I was actually curious about how much of this season was filler cause its been ages since I read the manga, so I checked, the Mall, the beach were the only parts in the manga, so of the five episodes 3 were filler
Luvia going commando in a Yukata is just what I needed today
I swear Miyu's true calling is to be an accountant
Broke Bazzet is a cannon event
Next Ep we resume the plot and keep going full speed

But yeah there's definitely something going on with Miyu in terms of her past cuz they keep hinting at a possible link

Not Rin also fooling Cryptic 😭
"I would anything... to get a whiff" Bro... SAMMMMEE 🤝
Nah, Luvia DEFINITELY won that battle; rly got Shirou thinking that Rin wetted herself 💀
Overall, I think these past few eps have been building up the fact that Miyu is hiding a secret from the others ever since Caren kinda foreshadowed it.
