Look at how well-animated these toys are, too. Compared to the people the penguins and fish appear quite realistic. I bet the staff had a lot of fun making these scenes. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they have a few toys like these at A-1 Studios either. You know, the ones they had to buy for "research" purposes.

Do they still produce these toys, I wonder? I remember those toys as a kid. Pico bought new ones, and this story takes place a few years in the future.

It's really fun to see all the places they put the detail in the animation though.

Yes, of course. These sorts of toys never go out of date.

Fishing:

Penguins:

All the penguin race games at Amazon come with a battery to power the escalator. I guess the manual version shown in the anime is too much work for today's kids.

My penguin thingy was also battery powered.

Hahaha, Pico was reading one of those bogus 'sex tips' magazines. Apparantly those are still around in 2026, unfortunately.

Also, as a US citizen, I must say the depiction of united states architecture, objects, etc. is very well done in this episode. My region is pretty different than Texas, and I've never actually been to Texas, but it seems pretty genuine, and a lot of things do seem very familiar.

Oddly enough, however, Vince's car's liscence plate was the wrong size for a US plate. It looked more like a european plate. In Japan the plates are very close to the size of our plates here in the US, so it wasn't them just assuming Japanese size. It wasn't a foreign plate, since it said Texas on it, and I doubt we'll have changed our plate dimensions by 2026. It's so minor it didn't bother me at all, but I just thought it was funny.

Hibito
On the latest happenings:
And this is the one that said supposed to be in Muttas palm reading.
spoiler[Hibito has a panic Disorder and Sharon has ALS. Sad
So yeah.]


Edit: You don't have to read this if you don't want to know what might happen on the latter.

^ Those who haven't read the manga probably shouldn't read the above.

@Camiru Mylle
What you wrote isn't really part of the discussion right now...

^ though I wasn't really joining your discussion.....I was merely commenting on the thread.

Edit: And It will happen very soon on the anime....Even the anime is leading.

Though sorry if I was misleading..........

I've read the manga so I know what happens. I just personally thought it was a needless spoiler that came out of nowhere since no one was touching on the topic, nor was anyone speculating about it. The anime hasn't really touched on it yet either.

Thank you for editing the post though.

No need to apologize. It's just my personal opinion, afterall.

@Camiru Mylle
Try to keep topics on anime only storyline and progression. If its gonna happen in the anime, hold it in until it actually happens in the anime and then you can discuss it. Its great your excited about "X" but keep it to yourself until its appropriate or take it to the manga forums or PMs.

Although I am curious, is this filler right now? Or is the testing stuff happening in the manga too? I heard someone say they were still in the desert with the manga.

This is not filler, and they're not in the desert in the manga.

Episode 58

spoiler[Judging by the amount of commenting the quality of this anime has fallen.
That chat with Vince was sort of unusual.
Flashbacks to the trio's past were nice to watch.
At least that explained a few things..
This episode felt like a filler.]
