@Jan Negrey Fair point, I could have done the spoiler alert better and will try to do so. In my defense I didn't actually say anything about the next episode or what happens, only that the ending of this episode is misleading, which I would argue is intended by the studio. I was very careful not to reveal what happened, only discuss why they made this episode the way they did. That being said, it is probably better to have had my discussion on the next episode instead of in this one... But I was too eager so can ya really blame me? XD Also I am really sorry to hear about you getting kicked from patreon for a total non-spoiler. That was completely unfair! I will take it as a heads up on what can happen if I get too spoilery.

2024-03-25 09:18:22 +0000 UTCThank you to people who worked it out. I just thought it was from French "dish". You have a bigger dinner (Season) that is divided into 2 dishes (cours, or cour 1 and cour 2). Knowing some Japanese (two decades ago) and knowing that they use a lot of borrowed language it didn't seem odd. Though one has to remember that once they start to use that word it is their own and it can take meaning unlike original one. Also they don't just borrow from English - now yes a lot is from English. But French, German and words from other languages often become words in Japanese. To go to old example that isn't even recognized as loanword - check up the Japanese word for "bread".

2024-03-25 04:21:20 +0000 UTCwell - if the spoiler is clearly tagged (and better yet something is said like: "This is a spoiler if you didn't watch another episode"), then it is fine. At some point it is good to have discussions, to compare it to LN for example (I'm waiting with my own until last episode, just to be safe). After all saying things that happened in previous episodes is a spoiler for people who are just scrolling down to watch episode 1 for example. So being too stringent doesn't help. Obviously I hate spoilers that aren't tagged, but it felt unfair when one reactor booted me from patreon for spoiling. All I said was: "I can't wait for your reaction to next episode - it is among my favorite". That being said Dennis - should work on how they tag a spoiler and make sure that they don't include anything before the warning. Also there needs to be some space between tag and actual spoiler. Whether that is even allowable - depends on how far spoiler goes and what does it talk about specifically.

2023-09-01 01:39:43 +0000 UTCjust don't post spoilers and you won't have to worry about spoiling anyone

2023-08-17 17:23:22 +0000 UTCWhat is with all the Ws in her name? Are they just typos or is there a joke there that I am missing?
Dennis
2023-08-17 05:35:30 +0000 UTCIf one starts a sentence with "I don't want to sound like a smart-ass, but..." one should probably delete the comment right there, it is not going to end well :) But I am glad you worked it out, I have also been curious as to why it is called cour.
Dennis
2023-08-17 05:30:59 +0000 UTCI was also wondering why they did it this way, it is misleading (sorry if I spoil it for anyone, Alana has clearly already watched next episode), but I think it is to leave us at the same place Lena is at. She thinks they are dead hand possibly taken by the legion. I remembered the horrifying feeling of dread, but also hope, hope that I wasn't wrong. This show is all about evocing emotions in the the viewer and they certainly do that! Also the OST for the show is indeed on Spotify! :) https://open.spotify.com/album/2SlW3LaVSzRseiFdXRmssc?si=wOIJjn3KQiGP30jY-zd4gw&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A2SlW3LaVSzRseiFdXRmssc

2023-08-17 05:21:07 +0000 UTCWalana Wisako, I just wanna thank you for watching this beautiful show and reacting to it! Have more fun/sadness towards completing the season!

2023-08-17 01:30:40 +0000 UTCThe wait was unbearable but I somehow resisted the urge to read the light novels which are amazing btw!
Vikram
2023-08-17 00:02:08 +0000 UTCI think it's hilarious that they wrote this letter before completely going to the unknown. They knew Lena is a persistent type of person xD the voice over from the earlier episode of naming the cat made this episode emotional to me yooo

2023-08-16 21:27:35 +0000 UTCRIP Shin, Alana's clocking on your suicidal tendencies since episode 4 and now we're finally here looool

2023-08-16 21:21:59 +0000 UTCHaving to wait weeks to know if my fave character Shin was alive or dead was painful ngl

2023-08-16 20:19:42 +0000 UTCI cried again 😭😭 this episode gets me everytime

2023-08-16 20:13:37 +0000 UTCAlso I don't think I've ever watched an anime and have said "Wow what a shot" or "That is beautiful" more than I have while watching this show. Whoever directed this, you can tell loves cinema.

2023-08-16 20:03:32 +0000 UTCHey thanks for looking that up. And turned out that I was wrong about "cours" myself. The word "cour" is the right one (my bad), which apparently did originate from the French "cours" but now has a life of its own. I myself have just learned that in the Japanese broadcasting world there was a time each regular program was produced on a three-month term (quarter or cour), so the word stuck to decribe a program season even if it's just for one or two seasons in a year and/or each is under/over 12 weeks. They probably used the French word because it's easier for them to say than "quarter" or "四半期" (shihanki = quarter).
jacksan1
2023-08-16 19:47:00 +0000 UTCI looked it up and I was kinda right and mostly wrong lol. Cour is also "quarter", so 1-3 months of a broadcast schedule out of a year. Common parlance would say a season of a show, but from a business standpoint I can see why they would consider it a quarterly show.
Jake Thompson
2023-08-16 19:35:25 +0000 UTCYes, it does. It's just mysterious to me why this one French word is used in the anime and TV production world when so much of the time they use adopted English words (like コース kohsu for a course meal).

2023-08-16 18:52:36 +0000 UTCPoor Shin. He will be missed. :<
Princess Paladin
2023-08-16 18:52:36 +0000 UTCHis name is "Fai-doh", like the dog name. Because he's their robo-dog.
Princess Paladin
2023-08-16 18:40:39 +0000 UTCThe show drops so many small references and clues to the future. During the Fido flashback, after Albrecht gets hit with a soccer ball and his sunglasses get knocked off, he covers his eyes with his clipboard since that'd give away that he's Alba.
Jake Thompson
2023-08-16 18:36:26 +0000 UTCIf you think of "course" in the dining sense, ie a 4 course meal, or 4 part meal, it makes sense.
Jake Thompson
2023-08-16 18:35:47 +0000 UTCIt's got a pretty good netflix film adaption as well.

2023-08-16 16:40:10 +0000 UTC"Im Westen Nichts Neues" - One of my all-time favorite books.
jacksan1
2023-08-16 16:25:53 +0000 UTC"All Quiet on the Western Front" was written by Erich Maria Remarque, a German author and World War I veteran. It's considered one of the most powerful anti-war books ever written, and was banned and burned in Nazi Germany. Fitting to be read by Shin. I like to think he would've related to these lines in the book: "We are not youth any longer. We don’t want to take the world by storm. We are fleeing. We fly from ourselves. From our life. We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces."

2023-08-16 16:21:29 +0000 UTCThis is in no way intended to be any criticism or acting like a smart a**, so just hear me out. When we talk about an anime season, the term we use is "cours" with an 's' in the end, singular or plural. It is a French word that means "course" and which the Japanese folks pronounce as "ク–ル(kuuru)." Got no idea why them guys in Japan chose to use the French word when "season" is an oft-used English word in their language. (EDIT) I AM WRONG ABOUT THIS. See the replies below for the correct answer.

2023-08-16 16:20:04 +0000 UTCThank you again for watching this show. This show is just different.
Reddd Hunter
2023-08-16 15:50:55 +0000 UTCYup, all the writings you see in the school are indeed in Japanese. And the walls are covered with calligraphy pieces that read "Peace."
jacksan1
2023-08-16 15:41:09 +0000 UTCJust an FYI, Fido is pronounced fai-do, not fee-do. In the US it's a generic name for a dog, based on the Latin word for "faithful/loyal."
Ara Araragi
2023-08-16 15:11:23 +0000 UTCOh yeah, there was a huge delay for the last 3 episodes of Cour 2 as well and we had to wait many months, that one was painful xD Note, the area where the school was located looked a bit Japanese, this is now the Giad Empire Territory, and probably the place where Kaie's family came from. Since she was decendant of a race that came from the Empire she got treated badly by other 86's in the camps.

2023-08-16 15:08:34 +0000 UTCI remember being so pissed after watching this episode and upset LMAO The wait was so painful!!!

2023-08-16 14:49:02 +0000 UTCEnd of cour 1. Only one commentary..... FUCKIN' GLORY TO THE SPEARHEAD SQUADRON!!!.
Luis Arispe
2023-08-16 14:07:53 +0000 UTCThe crazy wait was for the last two episodes of the second cour. 86 days of waiting for the conclusion. But it was worth it, the directing, voice acting and animation were out of this world.
