I had thought that Thoth was going to sell the soup claiming it was his. Having a spoiler[ridiculous appetite] is funnier

spoiler[Gods and mid-terms.
That was interesting since most of them were just clueless.
A group study party was a good idea, sort of.
Apollon was obviously bothered by his past this time.
It was unusual for Yui to see his memories.
Damn, it wasn't hard to feel sorry for Apollon.
Well, I didn't see this plot development coming.
It wasn't something you'd expect after watching the beginning of the episode.
The focus of the plot shifted drastically.
This was a somewhat dark episode, yet intriguing.]

They certainly whitewashed spoiler[Cassandra's] story, though no surprise there. The closest they got to it was Apollo saying spoiler[he gave her the gift of prophecy because he wanted her heart (read body).] Smile I'm annoyed by the spoiler[noble suicide though - despite her having enough misery in her life to take that route, she never did, and suffered it all until she was murdered.]

Not a bad episode though. Anubis chilling out in the open, Thoth executing an epic wall slam (and a desk slam! for bonus points), Yui taking the initiative. I'm happy.

I realized today that I would probably really like the OP song if it were arranged for and sung by professional singers instead of manufactured for a seiyuu ensemble that can mostly sing on key.

I was surprised they usedspoiler[ Cassandra's] story for Apollonspoiler[ (or at least sort of... OK, just her name and the prophecy power)]. I actually thought they would go with spoiler[Daphne who is transformed into a three the moment Apollo manages to catch her]. Also, spoiler[angsty] Apollon was awesome because he didn't call everyone stupid names, which is what I hate more about his character. Pretty neat episode.

Also spoiler[Thoth really stepped up his game with the dramatic wall slamming]. It was awesome.

Wondering what they'll do now that spoiler[all the main "routes" are covered.] Will we get Dyonissos, Thor and Thoth episodes or are they gonna focus on spoiler[releasing their shackles]?

Major disappointment because spoiler[Apollon's hair didn't grow back after his shackle broke.] I loved when Susanoo went full Japanese kami when he forcibly broke his shackle and I really hope we get to see the others like that too

I don't see how they can avoid it, since that's where we started. Smile

That spoiler[Thoth wall slam! Also loved his face when Yui wasn't having any of his crap.]

Yui is officially my favorite otome game heroine.

I don't know about anyone else, but I really want a Thoth route episode.

I look forward to Thoth's wall and desk slams. is this the same spoiler[Cassandra] who was the daughter of spoiler[Priam of Troy]?

Yeah, but the original story is completely different and essentially non romantic, just very tragic

Interesting that they used spoiler[Cassandra] for Apollon's backstory seeing as what happened in the myth (spoiler[what with him cursing her for rejecting him). Knowing what happened there makes it all the more unlikely that she'd "haunt" him because she wants to save him which was why that particular bit was a bit odd to me.]

And Yui spoiler[standing up to Toth] was excellent.

Guess that we'll get one more lighthearted episode before the drama starts.

Episode 10

They missed a great chance of referencing myth by spoiler[not having Thor dress as a woman]. Maybe Loki could have also worked in better for spoiler[miscellaneous for supposed ability to shape shift]. To be fair Tsukito spoiler[was still fabulous with his lack of emotions], and Takeru's spoiler[more manly behaviour worked, but Thor probably would have been better]. Other positives were still spoiler[Thor as a mouse], and Thoth's spoiler[awesome narration].

Might have to question the programing of the NPCs.

spoiler[A school play.
That certainly caused a commotion among the gods.
There were some problems about choosing the story..
In the end, they chose an interesting one ^^
It was fun watching them act it out LOL
A new character is slowly emerging.
Fun episode!]

Episode 10:

Probably best episode imo of the series mainly because of the gimmick and the spoiler[play]. What happened at the end there though?! Ouch.

My thoughts exactly. At least they got in Thor's (oak) tree connection. Laughing I knew it was spoiler[a play] immediately, but that was just hilarious. Also, what a delight to finally get some Anubis time! And a triple wall slam! That's an Olympic caliber move right there.

Dead.

Ep. 10

I am officially 1000% in love with this show and I'm going to buy the series.

I was surprised that spoiler[Anubis got a much longer cameo than usual. And Thoth's wall slams and his narration... I lost it. In fact, I was laughing the entire episode at the sheer amount of awesome ridiculousness from everybody.

Poor Hades... ]
