Fear not, Gabriella! Volume 8 of the manga is finally coming in December! And it is MOST welcome. Also I could totally jam to Stephen Starphase and Nicholas D. Wolfwood getting together for a drink and to talk about their respective situations and compatriots!

I'm confused - I always thought manga readers viewed that as the ideal.
Is this the difference between reading the manga and thus knowing what's going to happen and watching the anime with completely fresh eyes? Because all of that was riveting to me. I had been on the verge of falling asleep before putting this up to watch, but that whole scene woke me right up. Everyone is worried about Zapp's dick, but I was more concerned about his head. Dude's gonna need a rug after having his scalp sanded down like that. Or maybe the permanent tonsure will be appropriate to his new lifestyle? I mean, it looked to me that rather than going to see Stephen, Leo noticed him, but then just drove right on past him. |

Maybe I have overthink it a bit too much, but does Chain actually has a crush on Steven? (which makes sense to me consider how Steven has appeal to all genders

Thatr seemed pretty obvious to anyone but the man himself... Another enjoyable episode. It was nice to find out more about Chain, though my personal highlight was the return of Mushroom-kun!

So what is Chain's deal, exactly? Is she a hoarder?

Pretty sure she just never takes out the trash. |

Hey, in NYC, you take out the trash or recyclables on the wrong day, you get a ticket. I once had to shell out $100 for that mistake! Keeping track of which day to take out which type of trash is probably tougher when you frequently do all nighters at work.
Steven has a cleaning lady who does it all for him, lucky guy. If people want to encourage him to give a gift to Chain, she doesn't need flowers, she needs to borrow his maid for a few hours. So...Steven is Chain's token? I thought it was a flower, because of all the floral imagery. I admit I was confused because the whole episode I was waiting for werewolves. Why even call Chain and her fellow espionage angels "werewolves" if they don't turn into werewolves? They should be called "InvisiSpies" or something. This show is super-fun and I'm sad it's one cour. |

My take on the whole thing was that they jumped the gun. Steven is her token, but her memories of flowers and such were enough to keep herself together so that she didn't need her last-resort token to even be used. She already seemed to be back when he came in, so she was embarrassed and threw a couch at him. Normal reaction.

In case anyone has doubts, the token says "Steven A. Starphase suddenly visiting Chain's room". She might have come back by herself, it's not obvious, but she certainly has a crush on Steven for that to be her token. |

Was I reading too far into it when I took her token as being her actual fear that he would come visit her and see her filthy apartment? She's literally panicking as she tries to clean it when he walks through the door and she freaks out and throws furniture at him. I just assumed that was the joke: that she deliberately keeps her apartment dirty for the sake of her token and only cleans it as a means of using it (ie, she literally comes back from the brink of non-existence to avoid the humiliation of her love interest seeing an embarrassing side of her).

I do hope we see more of Phillip in the future. It was hilarious because Phillip is a butler... voiced by Ono Daisuke... whom I had just seen earlier in the day at the Kuroshitsuji BotA event, LOL. Talk about timing!
I also laughed at how Leo hides his money knowing that he's going to be mugged. ^^; |

Beyond is definitely not as great as the first season, but all of its episodes have been good. I am not sure if episode 5 has been the best of the bunch, but I really liked it and made me feel the magic of season 1. I hope at least 5 of the last 7 episodes focus on the overarching story arc; I have had my fill of episodic material.

Really nice to see more about Chain.
Yeah, wish the season was longer, this show is so much fun to watch.
LOL that would be a hilarious crossover. |
