This is getting quite boring. Uni is unbearable and so are a few other characters. The story is whatever (it's barely there). The world is uninteresting. Natsuko is uninteresting and her powers are so one-note and such deus ex machinas. The best animation of each episode is essentially a prolonged magical girl transformation sequence after which she fervently draws as if it's Dragon Ball Z characters punching really fast. And it's repeated each episode.

I'm giving it one more ep and if it's more of the same, I'm dropping it.

I love that she inadvertently fixed the sexist damsel in distress character just by pointing out that she could have agency (and giving her a role model).

I assume Serval Cat Mask was inspired by Kinnikuman as that's the only pro-wrestling anime I know of and the moves looked pretty similar.

It's probably Tiger Mask. I've never read or watched that, but it has been referenced a lot in other works too and the appearance / naming seems to fit.

Ah I was hoping someone would have a better idea, thanks!

I am to much of a human to let slide the disrespect for foreign cultures and religions. "Look at that silly thing they are doing! aren't they hilarious! 😂😂😂" even though the people are holding value in it.

I feel a dichotomy between what it wants to be, a comedy show; and between what it ought to be, a serious exploration what it means to be a storyteller, tragedy and a thing you want to do with your life (animator vs director.)

I feel a dichotomy

I feel like it's not succeeding at the latter, if that's indeed what they're going for

Episode Three of Mappa Flex: the Animation. Utterly amazing that they pull off movie-quality visuals so far. Would be a shame if they encounter production issues (knowing Mappa, it's a possibility)

Ga-go, ga-go

Knowing Tagalog, I metaphorically spat my drink hearing that 💀

Hm, at the end it looks like Natsuko is noticing some of the suspicious behavior, which might not have been in the original story. Or maybe it was in the story and Natsuko is just playing it cool.

Also, I like how the village chief's attire serves as an excuse for Destiny's clothing, but they don't force feed you this excuse.

Also,

The only one who could make Luke smile from the bottom of his heart was Destiny.

meanwhileServal Cat Mask becomes the heroine.
