Ah yes, the thing I literally said that was my PERSONAL wild guess AFTER all he already gave us quite explicitly lol Look, everything else other than this one admittedly opinative suggestion is a thing that anyone can see, it's not really just what "I" think, if there's where you are trying to push this discourse If you can demonstrate otherwise, I'm all ears, but you can't, that's who we all know the author is, and that's the kind of kinky content he likes to put in his work. Just deal with it. And then again, I don't even come here every week to complain about this, but people sure bring the discussion back like you just did, quite ironically. The only reason why there are still comments about this is because the discussion kept going about this topic, so it's kinda funny that you are complaining about it WHILE bringing it up again to the table. I only commented in the ones in which is especially relevant to do so (hell, my main gripe was the ongoing unnecessary scatological theme and a particular single episode I talked about the week prior, which packed some of my most hated bits in a single episode). I don't even have anything negative to say with the previous 2, for starters, I quite like this part of the arc. |

Episode 6 has been the best episode so far this season, it was great seeing Riko devising plans again. And while I'm not liking this as much as the Movie and season 1, the village has done a good job of showing how extreme the commodification of everything, is in this world of MIA. Especially humans.

Ep6 to me had the worst infraction of disbelief suspension in the whole show to date. Riko and the gang haven't been in the village more than a few days and they have had direct contact with a whopping dozen or so of the villagers but here, in seeming mere minutes, she mounts a counterattack brigade to get a net (from where?) off-camera just before she leads the Floating Blob on a merry chase through the village to a previously undisclosed location where she directs the stationed villagers, now being fluent in their language.
Afterwards, Moogie even marvels at the coordinated defense and she just says "I just asked the others to help out...so I got some who were good with fire...". If she had been hob-knobbing around for a few months given the number of villagers, she might have had the necessary background info on the denizens to set this up, but again it would have taken a good fraction of an hour at minimum to collect, organize and mobilize the brigades. And then ghost Prushka shows up to get a call out to Reg who ultimately saves the day in seconds. I suppose it was different in the manga... Of course the action was superbly animated, but don't think too much about the rest... |

Riko offered and paid out a handsome price for those that would defend the market (her hair)- hence the alacrity and size of the defense. |

Regardless of the price, that's a lot of coordination from a lot of villagers in a very short amount of time. We only saw Riko even speak to a few villagers and know a few dozen words of the local language. Smart or not, I don't see how she could rally an army within, what, 10 minutes?
They really at least should have given us a sense that it was heading towards the market and would arrive in x hours or something so that the defense strategy made sense. |

.....Most of the narehate in those scenes were not there because of Riko, but to participate in The Luring and/or to defend the marketplace Juroimoh (face with two balls and a large penis of a "sword" inserted in his chest anus) came out- to defend the market. Moogie (cook with tentacle hair) shows up middle of that fight with a whole lot of help- to defend the market. Riko studied the monster while that fight is going on and came up with a plan. She hired Kaja to find the help needed to implement her plan. Kaja gathered those that were needed,so Riko paid Kaja and the others - with strands (Kaja got a lock) her,extremely,valuable hair. And her plan failed. Riko's use of Prushka( via her white whistle) to lets say boost Reg is what killed the Fuzosheppu Queen. |

So this shows why "human children are the most valuable" in the village, though all the dots haven't quite been connected yet.
This is the first time in a long time I wish I didn't know the source material, because hearing that last line not knowing what happens next I feel would have given the type of chills that some of the Season 1 cliffhangers did. |

Hmm valuable in regards to a child's ability spoiler[to use one of the Cradles,not the other matter.] Surprised at the pacing of this episode myself,honestly felt the material covered deserved a three part'er. |

Well, No, at least that's not how I see it at all. A lot of the current villagers wouldn't even know about spoiler[The Cradles] as many of the villagers are people who joined the village in the 1900 or so (Surface) years since it was formed. It seems to me that spoiler[Irumyuui's intense desire (Considering she is the village)] to have a child rubbed off on the inhabitants over time and warped into a desire to "have" a child. |

Deep Spoilers ahead for anime only fans Hmm spoiler[Irumyuui really no longer exists,and as Ilblu it's been manifesting the desires,fears and etc of the Ganja and the others who've arrived since. Point being many of the inhabitants owe their exsistence,and their values, not to Ilblu but from whomever' mind Ilblu plucked them from.] But I do see where you're coming from Edit: sorry for the bold.. used B instead of spoiler,just getting old. I've come to my stance from the simple reason that every delver,relic hunter and whatnot makes use of human children. As relics ,& the Abyss itself, respond best to children. |

I have to admit that I'm starting to lose my patience with this show. Given episode 7, I have to consider that the primary interest of the creator of MiA is bring forth cute children and then subject them to crueller than normal fates. It's really smacking of misery porn to me, now. Not that there wasn't already plenty of examples of it previously but the cumulative effect is starting to weigh on me.

Kinda feeling similarly, although I want to give it until the end of this arc, at least, and I also find this season to be pretty sparse on decent shows, so the bar's abnormally low... |

I get it but I couldn't stop now if you paid me....though having read the manga, I'm just in too deep but it's less harsh when you know what is coming lol. |

With just one episode left, I don't see much opportunity for rainbows and puppies. In fact, I fully expect a flurry of more gut punches to be honest (I haven't read the manga so I'm just going on instinct/experience here).
