As much as I wish that was the case, I think it was just Kalego's room, and Balam simply accompanied him on the way to his own room? Anyway, I just love how self-aware Ameri is, and how she doesn't let it bother her.  "Oh wait - is this a romantic scene?! Alright, let's do it!" She's really just so loveable, and I like that while her "otome side" could lean into annoying stereotypes that so often plague stories where badass female characters fall in love, the writer manages to avoid the pitfalls most of the time. I don't care much for the romance subplots in manga like these (aside of Asmodeus' giant crush on Iruma, I mean come on, that's no "friendship" or "loyalty"... in another shounen manga where the relationship started in much the same way, it was in fact acknowledged as a crush and the two characters actually ended up as a couple, I suppose that won't happen here.) Ameri and Iruma have one of the most fun dynamics I've seen. He's a small, soft human, a pushover who's just now finding his inner strength! She's a huge, badass demon girl with an iron will who's experiencing her own gentler, softer side for the first time! They're... really cute together!

I thought that too, but unless the subs are wrong, as they enter the room to find the students mimicking Kalego and stealing everything not nailed down, he says they can have a "nice long chat in our roo--" Then again, he said they were eating on "my" bed, so either there are two beds in the room and we just couldn't see that, or it's only his room. Then athird, it seemed like Kalego brought the food cart back to eat because he hated the buffet, not because he was looking out for Balam. So if he brought it back just for himself, why was Balam hanging out alone in Kalego's room unless it was also his room? Kalego didn't seem surprised to find him there. Probably thinking too deeply about it...

Oh, that was probably just the translator's wishful thinking-- er, their attempt to make the sentence flow in English. In Japanese Kalego simply says says the equivalent of "in the room" without any direct indication as to whose room it is, with the contextual implication of it being his... well, I mean if Ronowe's dad gave them rooms to stay in for free why would the two teachers have to share a room? (The kids are one thing, high school kids rarely get their own room, but teachers...) Last edited by SHD on Sun Aug 15, 2021 11:19 am; edited 1 time in total |

Sorry, I didn't see this before I wrote my previous post!
Spoiler-tagged because obviously this is a huuuuge spoiler re: that manga... spoiler[It's Kunisaki Izumo no jijou, a manga about kid kabuki actors. Izumo is our main character; Sae is the spoiled rich kid bully who thinks he's all that. The romance is fairly low on the manga's list of priorities, but I think that it's actually fairly well-written and well-utilized!] The story in a nutshell in case you don't want to go in blind: spoiler[At first Sae is a total dick to Izumo, but Izumo one-ups him in a way that not only has a good influence on Sae's personality, but he also ends up firmly believing that Izumo is a girl pretending to be a guy, and he develops a huge crush on him. Eventually Izumo also develops feelings for Sae, and after some pretty well-done angst about what to do, he eventually sets Sae straight once and for all about his gender (he had tried many times previously, but Sae is very dumb)... but Sae loves him regardless, and they end up a couple. And all the while there's not even one instance of "I shouldn't have these feelings for another boy". ] |

If they had a suite then there could have been two bedrooms with an adjoining door.

I prefer the lighthearted episodes like this one over the more serious episodes. It really was fun seeing more of Chez Valac!

I think my favorite bit was how they did not forget their absent brother, always including him via signage in all the activities.
Also, Clara gonna be a good Mom.  When her kids hop into boiling potion pots and climb into cozy carnivorous plants, she'll very likely join them!

I didn't think I could be more hyped for the IrumaxAmeri date than before I saw the preview showing her telling her dad and Ameri in a swimsuit/ponytail.

Anyone else notice the Migi lookalike on a date (I think her name is Dosanko) I think that’s her as we haven’t really seen any more of her kind and if I recall correctly, she often talked about beauty and dating(?)
Can’t tell if the date she’s with is really tall or that she’s really small… https://imgur.com/yAyqwq9 |

The fact that this show was able to take an episode that was 98% a pool date between two characters and make it so enjoyable and engrossing is such a testament to the writing, characters, execution, and just how great Iruma and Ameri's relationship is.

Ameri is too cute for words when she twees; I melt like butter on a grill.

I think I was expecting more follow up on their date, but I loved the shopping trip and all, so it's all good. Iruma is just so infectiously happy about everything!
I agree that Sullivan definitely has been doing some scheming, though his love for Iruma is nevertheless pure. He certainly had a shifty look in his eyes when talking to Iruma about the Demon King.
Well, both Ameri and Opera have actual pointy ears, so I don't think they're ears. But they also move to express their emotions, so that's not very horn-like, soft or not. I think it's just hair that can be moved, like a cat poofs its fur. Speaking of Ameri (still), I'm about 75% convinced that the human Henri sent back was her mother. I went back and rewatched that segment in S1 Ep 20 where he's telling Iruma about it, and the avoidance of gender seems conspicuous. Also, Ameri is the only female demon I can think of who has no tail, except for Dosanko (only some of the male demons have tails though). |
