Episode 5!

-Hey! You can't just casually mention that Humagear customization can get wild like that! If I don't see background Humagears that looks like a randomized Sims later, the show's an instant 0/10 (joking, of course)

-A fun little Izu sideplot, I enjoyed it! C'mon Aruto, you gotta recongize how brilliant her timing on the "Aruto ja naito" was, even if the joke's on you this time....

-The idea that the guy was experiencing burnout and growing dillusioned with his art, while probably not being afforded the luxury of a break to sort himself out (even as a super casual fan of manga who doesn't know alot, the things I've heard super popular mangaka have been through in order to keep up with both publisher and fan demand is downright horrendous), it's clear to see how Ishizumi turned out like this. I know the episode punches up how comically lazy he's become, but anyone who knows that feeling of burnout on a project close to your heart (not just art, but any creative endeavor) knows just how awful something like that can be to you mentally.

-The AIMS duo's contributions to this episode sure were small, but real fun. Fuwa going flying after using the new attache, and cracking himself up over Aruto lighting himself on fire, real good stuff.

-I didn't realize the next episode was so early in 01's lineup. Looking forward to talking about it.
