I hate that i'm the only one on the fence about this series... but I am hoping for good things!

I like it quite a bit, but I do think it's getting a little overhyped at this point.

Come to the seedy side KyoryuBlue. We're waiting on the Chew Chew.

I think the problem with Akira's argument wasn't the logic. It was the writing. It was written (or perhaps translated) pretty awkwardly.

When I think of someone who has given up their responsibilities to go back to something that is considered frivolous by the mainstream world (lets say for example Magic The Gathering players or Twitch players who compete for money (*Note: Dormamu has in fact done both of these)), I would consider the logical argument to be that of "You idiot! Go back and get a real job, we need money!" not "It's because it helps your fellow mankind". That's like a line straight out of an economics book. However, if...and this is a big if....the theme of this current series is that the things we do affect those around us, particularly with the fate talk, and the destiny of all, etc, then the writing is trying to make a point.

TLDR; she's hot, and she can talk yiddish for all I care, as long as she doesn't become the morality pet of this series I'll be happy. Although I think "jailbait" (Thanks Locke, now I can't get that out of my head) might be that role filler.

Yet another great episode!

A few items of note:
I want to know what the S Lock that Sid had was.
I don't really understand the sisters' position on money and work. He makes good money, and he destroys monsters and happens to save people on occasion. Sounds win win to me.
Too Juicy to handle!! Dat commercial

Baron seems to be coming off as the generally dickish secondary rider but we'll see if he develops more personality over time. Really looking forward to Ryugen next week.

The creative ones are great, it's the rest that make me want to kill the fandom.

It's the Sid Lockseed, the most dignified of fruits

Define the phrase "look like an idiot."
