OP2 plays.
Oh been a bit since we just jumped straight into the OP. Vibes.
We start off with a title screen of the section followed by Becky talking to Anya about Berlint in Love.
I just realized, I know it's a soap opera, but I never looked into if it was parodying a specific one (at least with the title), or it's just soap operas in general.
Anya: i prefer cartoons more than dramas. Becky: oh you're still such a child.
Uh. Yeah. 'Cause she IS one. Like you. XP Also I prefer cartoons (and 2D animation in general) over live action stuff. Not that I dislike it or anything. I just usually get what I want from animation.
Becky: you're probably not interested in romance at all, are you?
Of course not! ...though thinking on it...what was the earliest time I was interested? Though admittedly even now, while I am a sucker for romance, funny thing is unless it's a fluff fic of a ship I like, I find I tend to prefer my romances mixed with other genres on top of it. Like isekai romance or fantasy romance or action romance. Or even this! It has family fluff, a slowburn romance, and action, among other things.
Becky continues to talk about romance, mainly how it helps you do the impossible, and Anya calls BS on it.
Well Becky's not wrong on that one. Or at least how I view it anyway. Especially since we're gonna need that "can push someone to do the impossible" for our YoLo couple...
As a wild Damian appears, Anya...decides to recap!
OH MY GOSH. LOL ANYA. I think she did this in the manga right? I feel like she did, but I forgot about it 'til now. XD
Anya: (mwahaha! thus i shall use my secret weapon! our new family picture with bond!)
...wait. it's a picture that has loid in it.
Hoo boy.
I think I know what's coming. XD
Also: awwwwww yor's more relaxed in the piiiiiiic. X3
Anya: heh heh heh
ANYA YOUR EVIL OVERLORD FACE IS SHOWING AGAIN. XD
Anya thus enacts her plan, except...not only does Damian ignore her... Becky: WHO IS THIS HOT GUY?!
Yyyup there it is. Hoo boy. XD
Becky barrages Anya with questions. Including: Is he seeing someone right now?
WHO DO YOU THINK THE WOMAN IN THAT PHOTO IS HUH?
Anya: Papa is married to Mama!
You tell her, girl!
Now my question is what people are gonna think about this, 'cause I know I'm looking forward to when this plot thread is picked up again.
Our resident Elegance says he'll be the subtitute for the arts and crafts teacher...Rodin (pronounced ro-DAWN)
...i know this (probably?) ain't a bayonetta reference but dang my mind can't help it with the name and him being an arts and crafts teacher
The class is randomized into groups to make a 3D model/what-have-you of the theme, "animals". Unsurprisingly, Anya and Damian are in the same group.
It was either that or Anya and Becky. But Anya and Damian is funnier. And also plot relevant.
Damian's friend: This class looks like fun!
Gah. I forgot which of the two are you... Either way! I agree! Because this was one of the classes I looked forward to when I went to school. XD
Damian doesn't think it's important...until someone mentions some big shots will see their art and that their grades will likely be affected. Anya however does think it's important. Because Becky stole her picture so she has to make Bond to het Damian interested.
Ah yes the perfect substitute. Assuming it'll be accurate...which it likely isn't. And that's even if I didn't know the outcome as a manga reader.
Everyone is planning what they'll make. One thought of a bunny.
Honestly I'd probably try to make a dragon. And considering what a certain someone decides later, I'd probably get away with it too.
...what? I liked dragons even as a kid. I picked Charamander for a reason. I wanted to have Charizard.
Though if I couldn't, I'd make a snake.
Mr. Elegant confirms the whole grade thing as well as why they're grouped together with a limited pool of resources shared among them. Aaand then... Henry: What are you making Blackwell? Becky: Anya's dad!
OH MY GOSH I FORGOT I WAS GONNA SEE THIS IN COLOR. I DIDN'T THINK IT'D BE IN COLOR. I just thought it'd be white.
Comes with a combat suit too!
...was that in the manga...?
Either way, aha. Aha. It's totally not like Loid probably wore one a couple episodes ago while impersonating someone. Aha. Aha.
Henry applauds the uniqueness but reminds her the theme is "animals". Becky, of course, BSes outta it with the excuse "humans are animals".
Aaaaand there it is. XD Becky: 1. Henry: 0
Meanwhile Anya is done and...
...it looks like Bond should he ever be murdered by Yor's cooking.
So of course Damian ain't impressed. Meanwhile he's...making a giffin. His family's crest.
HOW THE HELL DID YOU MAKE THOSE PATTERNS DAMIAN. I KNOW THE DESMONDS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REAL GOOD AT STUFF BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
And I'm also jealous...
Hmm, what? I'm sorry what was that? Symbolism of the crest?
Anya: (Griffin...? Are they related to Mr. Chimera?)
Lol. Speak of the devil... Yeah that's toooootally not relevant.
Damian of course demands the lion's share of the materials.
Oy. Don't be a jerk.
His friend doesn't mind at all.
Of course.
Aaaand then we get an imagine spot of Damian's dad being impressed by his work.
Aaaand now I'm sad for the little tsundere boy. :(
Anya totally sees it...and has her own imagine spot about her new plan.
ANYA YOUR IMAGINARY FACE OF DAMIAN IS KILLING ME
Now operation griffin has commenced! Surprisingly goes off pretty well for Damian related things. Except...
aaaand now Becky is a shipper on deck for DamiAnya. Not that many of us aren't any better, but still, at least unlike her we know Anya isn't interested like that...
...yet.
Unfortunately in terms of actual execution for Anya's plan, she is unintentionally self-sabotaging as she's trying to put cool things on the griffin. Like jet legs.
I mean. It is cool. But even if we discounted Damian's meticulousness, you'll probably not be allowed to make a jet griffin.
Anya keeps messing things up which makes Damian get pissed and demand for material from the others. But thankfully Henderson scolds him for that and reminds him he doesn't have to rush.
Good.
Though those words aren't going to reach him right now...
Everyone's done and lining up there creations in the hallway.
Okay let's see what I can spot...SOMEONE MADE A SNAKE. SOMEONE MADE A SNAKE LIKE I PROBABLY WOULD'VE. YOU HAVE MY RESPECT UNKNOWN KID.
Anya apologizes to Damian about messing up with his creation.
Seems pretty genuine too.
As compensation, she turned Bond into a girl griffin to pair with Damian's. He's confused about that.
Honestly I am too, though I knew she was gonna do this. What was the excuse again?
Anya: A... Apparently, if you have love, you can fly.
OH MY GOSH THAT'S WHAT BECKY SAID IN THE BEGINNING.
I mean I'M a sucker for that excuse, but I doubt Damian really likes it...even if Damian is still confused.
Now the big shots are examining the crafts and...
YOU MADE A CROCODILE BECKY?!?!?! I LOVE IT.
Also something purple with horns.
...what the heck is that. A yeti?
And another snake! A different one 'cause it's blue.
AAAIIIIYYEEEE I LOVE THESE KIDS.
And now the moment of truth...they spot the griffin aaand...Damian won! To his surprise.
Not to mine. Why?
They loved the symbolism of his piece. A damaged but still strong griffin, representing how Ostania will still remain strong despite the war.
Aka they overanalyzed it.
Like I do on a regular basis.
It was especially impressive because of the baby griffin it was with.
Awwww Anya did help, huh, Damian? XP
Anya: Now you can show it to your dad! (All according to keikaku...) Except it isn't.
Aaaand Anya unintentionally self-sabotages again. XD
Cut to Damian talking with "Jeeved" on the phone.
Aaaaand back to sad times with Damian. :(
Damian: Ewen, Emile!
I STILL DON'T REMEMBER WHICH IS FOR WHO THOUGH.
Narrator: Sylvia Sherwoord
AW YEAH HERE IT IS. THE SYLVIA SCREENTIME.
Age: BLEEEEEEEEP
OH MY GOSH WHAT THE HELL A BLEEP I WASNT EXPECTING THAT THAT KILLED ME FOR SOME REASON.
Because of her performance, her agents call her "Fullmetal Lady."
You sure it ain't a Fullmetal Alchemist reference?
Not that I would know. I've yet ot read the manga or see the anime(s).
Sylvia shows off exactly why she's good as she just passed by her tailers without them knowing at all on her way to Loid.
AW YEAH.
She's still human though as while she's debriefing Loid on stuff...he notices the price tag on her coat.
OH POOR SYLVIA.
Wait.
I could've sworn it ended with something else...
Now back on Loid.
Ah, whatever. I'll think about it later. Maybe it's coming up.
Sylvia and Loid talk in code about changing meeting locations.
Okay maybe it is coming up.
Sylvia: Report on Operation Strix.
YES IT IS COMING UP. YES.
Loid: My daughter...can now clear two levels on the jump box. She can also jump rope five times in a row. Sylvia: -_- (what the hell man)
THERE IT IS. THE PART I WAS WAITING FOR.
You're slipping, Loid. You're calling Anya "your daughter" instead of her name. XD ...wait i need to check if he used to call her anya when reporting about her...
Either way...
YOU CANNOT TELL ME SYLVIA DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH LOID AT THIS POINT WITH HIM ACTING LIKE A PROUD PAPA.
ED2 plays.
Vibes.
Mission 17: Omelet Rice
WAIT WHA
teen!Yor shows omurice to kid!Yuri. Complete with scream.
I WAS WONDERING WHEN THE THIRD SKIT WOULD SHOW UP. WHY IS IT A POST CREDITS SCENE???
Please wait a little while.
Why? Because it's too graphic to show Yuri's near-death?
Yuri reacts just like last episode. So Yor continues cooking.
Wait. I just realized. This must be an omake. Is it the one I'm thinking of...?
Yor is so happy she slaps Yuri to oblivion.
She really just be hitting things when she's high on any kind of emotion, huh?
Totally not gonna make sense later. Noooo...
And back to present day Yuri. Who had been hit by a truck.
HOW DID YOU SURVIVE TRUCK-KUN, YURI?!?!
Also, yup, it
is the omake I was thinking.
...okay I think because I could've sworn it went different but...oh well.
