It's pretty obvious that Princess is nice and caring with the entire team, winning their hearts. We don't see it because it happens off-screen, during their day-to-day interactions (Chise's commentary about Princess' bad jokes), with the on-screen time focusing on the definitive moments (Princess protecting Beatrice from bullies or jumping into the ship).

Why so many of you can't read between lines? Is it an american thing?

The pacing of the show so far has been good. I'd rather not they sit down and force-feed us scenes to let us know the Princess is someone they find agreeable.
What we've gotten so far has been sufficient and there will be more to come once these first few character arcs are done.
>>
>>160868183
It wasn't a stupid reason.
Her father betrayed their clan and started carrying political assassinations to the clan's heir was bound by duty to stop him.
Yes, it was cruel given how they were father and daughter but that's how law works. It would be the same if, for example, in modern times a counter-terrorism officer had to take down a terrorism cell leaded by his biological father; he has to fullfill his duty consanguinity or not.

It depends on what they're going for. If the girls are supposed to care about Princess and feel some loyalty toward her, then I think they definitely should have shown that stuff and properly build their bonds.

>>160868587
I don't think so. If it is some important significant event that is only going to happens once, sure it is best that is depicted but things like if someone likes someone or not you can easily depict through implications in their regular interactions and references to things they have done off screen without necessarily being "shit writing". What isn't great would be if something like that was pulled out as a last minute motivation rather than already being made clear through implications and references to off screen events only to have a character suddenly reference them at a convenient time as if we were supposed to know all along.
>>
>>160868614
That was left for episode 11 because Homu's backstory couldn't be revealed earlier. Princess bonding with the team could happen all the time. I'm actually pretty surprised all we got in that respect were a few little moments in episode 4.

I don't think thats true at all for example if characters are introduced as friends or family you aren't going to be suprised or think it has come out of nowhere or is un-earned if they care about each other. You would be more surprised if they didn't. Same is the case with this show, given the interactions we have seen depicted it would be more surprising if none of the girls cared about each other at all than cared about each other.

Also, it's not like the entire team is already pledging their lives to Princess and waiting for the chance to take a bullet for her.
Ange and Beatrice are the only ones who act like that and that's due to having a story with her coming from years back.
Dorothy is just naive and wants to believe that they have a reliable team member. Chise is ambivalent; she's intrigued at Princess' kindness but that's it.

We're talking about caring enough to feel loyalty and potentially betray your own faction. Other than Ange and Beato, I don't feel like Chise and Dorothy care about her that extent at all. Chise feeling conflicted in episode 4 was already kind of jarring and was only somewhat justified by the idea that she's really soft and pure at heart.

91 days had a solid overarching plot but mediocre action. This has good action but a nonexistent overarching plot. They're similar in that they're good western-setting original anime though.

If this starts having exciting plot developments then it could be AOTS, but right now it's borderline episodic.

I think you think they are trying to portray a level of relationship they haven't. The show never implies that she would betray the Japanese I don't think. It just shows that Chise thinks the Princess is kind and interesting in episode 4. In Case 13 it even has Chise imply she would definitely betray the girls if need be during the scene with Dorothy.

Indeed, in 5 episodes PriPri has managed to establish a more interesting setting, characters, and plot than FliFla ever did. I'm sorry I find this more interesting than hearing Papika repeat Cocona's name over and over again. And I'm not the one who started the comparisons.

>>160869471
The plot has gone from there being no team to there being a fully established team with multiple trained recruits that has gained experience in spying and brought a princess from the opposite side into the fold who may or may not be suspected by her evil uncle who wants to shift her out of the picture for political power. It definitely has been rolling.
>>
>>160869409
Out of order doesn't matter, the relationship between the characters is completely unchanged from their introduction to any other part of the story. If anything, it being out of order makes it even worse because it technically spoiled that the group will get dick for development for many more episodes. If there's a plot how exactly has Dorothy grown as a character over the last 5 episodes?

Shit, is this thread already in bait overload? Flip Flappers was great episodic anime. It was a flawed little show that had the potential for true greatness. PriPri is entertaining and especially notable for the fact that Okouchi hasn't lost the plot yet, but that is about it. If you think this has the charm or the personality of FLFL then you need to seek counselling, anon, i really can't do much for you here.

Yeah, FLFL lost the plot at the end, I completely agree. But it still managed to be visually exciting and had a fresh direction. It dared give you something different yet anons still overplay how terrible the last episodes were just to shitpost about it and bait (You)s from people who've seen enough anime to understand why FLFL was special. They conveniently ignore that it was a directorial debut from a rookie and disregard all the aspects that made it special just to desingenously focus on a couple of bad episodes (that still had snippets of greatness, mind you).

You imbeciles makes me root for PriPri to fail especially because Okouchi is directing this. FLFL had no reason to be as innovative as it was being an untested idea and all yet when it worked it was a spectacle.

Flip Flappers was an experience.
Watching it week by week was the best way to go.
At its best it was absolutely fantastic, a story that excited the imagination and promised something greater than anything we could expect. It felt magical and confusing and interesting and exciting.
It was the wonder of never knowing what the next episode would deliver or how it would deliver it.
Peak Flip Flappers came down to the individual episodes at the time they aired.
But the last part of the series didn't live up to the same senses of adventure and mystery the show had set up for itself.
I'd say up to episode 8 if you were watching it back then it would have looked like a 100/100 once in a decade experience.

The rest of the show is still great. It ties the plot, it follows up with many of its symbolisms and themes, it gives itself a proper conclusion, it still has some really cool and over the top unexpected twists.
But it just doesn't have the same sense of wonder that it had in its prime.
The ending needed to be a little bit more Mawaru no Penguindrum and less realistic.

http://nofilmschool.com/2014/07/martin-scorsese-difference-between-story-plot

"He illustrated the difference famously: "The king died and then the queen died is a story. ... Perhaps, in film, a plot could be said to be the sequence of (causally related) events that make up the narrative. The plot it what happens. The story in a movie, on the other hand, is why it happens, and how."

Plot is a sequence of events tied together which may or may not be presented in order. Story is what explains/guides the happenings.

Dictionaries tend to not have the fine details and easily make the mistake of lumping everything together. And at the root of English is actually just a war of usage and accepted terminology. So it is actually entirely possible to have two different definitions or for people to not even consider your usage proper or for a word to be valid.

This is kinda true. But there's a very specific kind of relationship between the events of a plot. That's why it's possible to have story without a plot. Just having events on screen doesn't mean there's a plot.

Under many film maker's definitions the events we are are most certainly part of the plot. Just because it is presented in a non-linear fashion doesn't mean there isn't logical causality (plot) if you pay attention to the time frame.

>>160870699
Having events which cannot be tied together no matter what means you really have no plot. It is generally a bad idea and to make a good story with no plot is extremely difficult. Princess principle clearly has all the events so far tied together so it most certainly has plot.
>>
>>160870789
But anon with your vastly superior knowledge it should be easy for you to prove me wrong with one post and demonstrate why the important events we have seen so far are not part of the shows plot.

No, even if there are tied together, it still doesn't mean there's a plot. There are at least two basic requisites for a plot, actually. And it's not hard to have a story without a plot. Lots of so called slice of life shows are pretty much that. They have a story with a bunch of events and such. But the story doesn't fulfill the two requisites I mentioned so they don't really have a plot.

Slice of life shows which use reset buttons at the end of every episode can be stated to have no plot between episodes. But if there is even a slight link between each and an overarching story that uses multiple episodes over time then you have a plot. It is very hard to have absolutely no plot. To do that within an episode you would have to have no causal continuity even before the reset. People would just randomly show up and disappear and every cut would be something random with no coherence for the entire episode. That would be a true plotless show with absolutely no causality. It is generally a bad idea. Even reset button shows still have plot within an episode or between resets should one occur within an episode. Not to mention sometimes causality can be maintained through resets under a writer's desertion which would for the plot (small details, deaths, changes, ...) persist through resets.

It is very hard to write a story with absolutely no plot. Many slice of life shows do have some overall plot line it is just hyper extended and ignored to pad out their often indeterminate runs. Each individual episode has a plot in itself and if you can tie multiple episodes together then it too has a overarching plot. It is basically the decision to go for pure episodic where there is a plot for each episode but no overall plot, mini-arcs which are isolated in plot but maintain consistency through a few episodes, or overarching plots which can use episodic/mini-arc/long arc/non-linear episodes to tell an overall plot. You only lack plot when your sequence of events be it between or within an episode lack causality. Again for a slice of life show with reset buttons to have no plot they would have to reset the events every moment so nothing ever links up even on each cut. This is extremely difficult to make into a good story as you must not ever link events together in any logical manner. Princess principal clearly is linking their non-linearly plot.

Wrong. Plot doesn't imply you have any story to tell it is just the sequence of causally linked events. (It also doesn't need to be presented in order to have a plot). Princess principal clearly is out of order chronologically but does not use resets between time frames and changes stick.

I'm using martin scorsese's interpretation of the difference between plot/story.
http://nofilmschool.com/2014/07/martin-scorsese-difference-between-story-plot

Plot is just a orderable sequence of events (non-linear presentation doesn't preclude plot). Having no plot requires you have no way to order what is happening. For purely episodic shows this means there is absolutely no connection between episodes so they can be ordered in any way you want so no inter-episode plot. Princess Principal clearly has a timeline that is just presented out of order.

I already stated in English it is just a fight of how many people think something means a certain way so most certainly there is room for people to disagree. It is how new words, phrases get accepted or definitions shift over time. So most certainly I'll believe what I want just as you are.

>>160871994
Funny. But you know, when a seasoned filmmaker talks about this stuff, they assume whoever they talk to knows this shit as well, so you're not gonna get a clear answer from legends like Scorsese.

As for the other thing that makes a plot besides a causal relationship, it's a conflict. It doesn't matter if it's external or internal, if it's totally in your face or so subtle you barely can see it, but it has to be there and your chain of causally related events have to build around it. And as a side note, a conflict is not the same thing as a conflicting situation. The latter is something trivial like chasing down your dog or struggling to cook something. The kind of stuff you see in a SOL anime, which is why most of those don't have a plot. An actual conflict is something more fundamental, like struggling to overcome a character flow, or the conflict between different world views. That kind of stuff.

As for PriPri, right now the obvious conflict is the conflict between Commonwealth and the Monarchy, which represent two different world views. That said, I don't think that's the show's main conflict. I think it's something related to the way both the Commonwealth and the Kingdom go about doing things and how the Princess is different to them. I'm not sure though, as the main plot hasn't started rolling yet. It's sort of on hold until the show is done with all the introductory stuff.

Uh he gives an interview about this very question so you get an answer. It is pretty clear if you can read. Your just lumping everything together plot/conflict/story which is a bad idea.

What your mixing up is what makes a up a film. Story, conflict, plot, characters are all typical ingredients. Omitting them is generally a bad or impossible task. A pool of water video could easily lack story, conflict, characters, but still has a plot (causality, flow of time). But the work would be utterly boring and terrible.

The current episodes are clearly going to maintain causality with future episodes (after sorting by case number) so it all forms part of the over arching plot. It is also possible to have subplots which is what your getting stuck up on here and the non-linear presentation is throwing you off it seems.

The introduction was a bit rough but it was very short and once it moved past it and the action started going it didn't matter. It just kept its momentum until the end.

How about just watching it and seeing what happened and paying attention.
That works for me.


The one thing that did feel weird was that scene with the cards, even though /a/ has explained it and at least they pulled it off in such a way that it felt like a weird but hypnotic thing, it was weird but didn't feel wrong or out of place. It felt similar to watching some stuff by Shaft sometimes.

They could have used episode 4 to establish Hirokawa as a good guy, but instead they make him shady as he's basically playing for both sides until he finds out which one is more convenient for him.

>>160873487
>Because you literally had to assume that she was fighting for the good guys.
The previous episode mentioned that there isn't black and white, only black and grey. No one ever said Chise's faction were the good guys or Jubei's were the bad. Chise simply chose loyalty to her faction rather than rebelling alongside her father, and that led to them becoming enemies. Don't confuse your own short-sightedness for the show having bad writing.

Anon, I won't argue with you. Instead, do the following: rewatch the episode keeping in mind the only motivations for both Chise and her father are that they are on opposite sides of a fight. There is nothing there that makes you believe that her side was intrinsically good or that her father's side was fundamentally bad and there was also no in-between. Once you do this you will understand that you were only cheering on the loli and absolutely nothing more. No information was given to you other than there are opposing factions.

>>160873690
>They're spies and assassins. Why would you assume that they're good people?
I don't? But that doesn't mean the writers should should suspend her motives in plot limbo, anon. It is bad writing making you assume that they have motivations to fight one and other.

Would it make you feel better if there was a 10 second flashback of him cutting up some innocent villagers or something? He came there with the intention of killing her lord and slaughtered a dozen of his allies. That's a good enough reason to fight him.

>>160873765
I wasn't cheering for anyone, there is no good or bad, there were different characters and different factions and different motivations colliding and all of it made sense within its context, I understood all of it, and it was enjoyable to watch for the action, for its political meaning and for the emotional factor.

Why do you presume that they were innocent? Also, he was pretty okay with the idea of chopping Beato's head. I don't need the show to explain to me that this is a bad hombre, that scene alone was sufficient.

The point is that Chise remembers her father fondly, this is well established. She then proceeds to explain her motive for killing Jumbo, that he "killed her father". Okay, so something changed, but the only thing that the show ever tells you is that he rebelled against the top dog for whatever reason. So suddenly this monstrously sociopathic broad is inspired to go on a 2 year crusade for her father's head... because top dog in Chinaland said so. This is the only information that we have and this is, for lack of a better term, her "motivation". So you really have to assume that she has a compelling reason to want to kill her father.

Kill her father.

She willingly put herself in danger and tried to kill/incapacitate him. Did you expect him to just sit there and take it because she's a cute loli?
>So suddenly this monstrously sociopathic broad is inspired to go on a 2 year crusade for her father's head... because top dog in Chinaland said so.
If she was merely doing it because the guy told her to, wouldn't he have brought her along in the first place? She believes her father to be a traitor and that the responsibility of eliminating him rests on her. Honestly it just seems like your problem is the fact that it's her father that she's fighting.

No to argue something means you have some attempt at counterpoint which is what you are writing now. Stating that someone is butt hurt isn't an argument it is called a statement. Not to mention your arguing about internal states of mind which are extremely difficult to prove.

"You're so fucking "butt hurt" my butthurt friend." Is called a statement not an argument. Not to mention it has nothing to do with is story and plot separable which was the issue being discussed previously. It is by definition just shitposting meaningless garbage.

>She willingly put herself in danger and tried to kill/incapacitate him. Did you expect him to just sit there and take it because she's a cute loli?
I apologise, I was being a bit too facetious there. Of course that is not a reasonable expectation, the same way it is not reasonable to assume that Chise is in the right simply because she is a loli. Jumbo was a killer and had no qualms in even killing children he perceived to be hostile, so survival or not this was a man with very little regard for such things. Same with Chibe, really, she was hacking and chopping up a storm so she really is her father's daughter.
>If she was merely doing it because the guy told her to, wouldn't he have brought her along in the first place?
Well, that's the point, we don't know what was going on. Initially, the foreign escorts thought of her as hostile and called her the traitor's daughter but the minister seemed okay with her being there. So we don't know, all we can do is speculate broadly about it and it is quite frustrating.
>She believes her father to be a traitor and that the responsibility of eliminating him rests on her.
Yes, anon, but we as an audience are never given a "why" other than he's a traitor, the writers think so little of you that they assume this is sufficient explanation for kin-slaying. So all that we can assume is that this is solely political, it's like you killing your father for having voted for Hilary Clinton (God forbid).
>Honestly it just seems like your problem is the fact that it's her father that she's fighting.
Well, yes. What she did was monstrous and should shock anyone with either a family or a beating human heart. You need to be especially badly socialised to not be able to see this. She killed her own father, the father that she remembered fondly in her introduction. And she killed her father because of petty politics.

Also, not everything is arguable, scientifically verified and repeatable observations are facts which are not arguable why they happened is but the very thing that happened is not arguable.

You do realize this show isn't about Chise right? Everything you're suggesting is more fitting for the climax where she is the main character. Unfortunately she is a side character and everything in episode 5 was sufficient for an introductory episode for someone in her position.
> Anons are under the impression that this was a good episode just because the nips are sucking their collective dicks over it.
Do you really have your head so far up your own ass you can't believe that people like this episode of their own accord and only like it because some nips enjoyed it too? Makes you wonder who really needs to wake up here.

I think that wasting episodes to build a backstory for someone who really doesn't matter that much is a bad idea. The way they subtly built up in the single episode that went from something is up to probably her father to very likely her dad to certainly her father she just killed. That was effective and efficient writing to me.

>>160875798
The show has had quite a bit of action movie/anime vs. spy over the entire span. I think it is ok. It was a escort protection mission and they got attacked so there really wasn't any spying/stealth needed as everyone around them minus the attackers were nominal allies.

>>160875806
Yup

I think the episode was an efficient and effective introduction at least in my own opinion.

>>160875798
It's not really a spy thriller, it's an action show, in the same vein as all of the other vague alternate history flying girl action shows.

I want it to be a spy thriller and there were glimpses of that in the second episode, but that's not what the show is and not what it's billed as.

This episode was absolutely average, anon. There was nothing spicy about it and the owie owie scene was retarded. The card swapping exposition was retarded. The rebel assassination plot was retarded. Shit, I just couldn't care for this at all, it broke my suspension of disbelief too many times for me to care. Glad it did it for you, buddy, but I'm more entertained watching Fate/Apocrypha pretending that everyone in Camelot thinking that "King" Arthur was a guy.

>>160875873
>I think that wasting episodes to build a backstory for someone who really doesn't matter that much is a bad idea.
I think so too. It kills momentum especially when Chise is just background flavouring really.
>That was effective and efficient writing to me.
It didn't work for me. It felt rush and it felt wrong. Chise soiling her hands with her father's own blood for no good reason (that was given, mind you) felt wrong. In my opinion it was badly executed.
>>
>>160875932
>Now we had a sizeable number of soldiers, people chopped like no tomorrow, gatling gun
You already had this in episode 1 and 3, plus canons and Chise making team Normandy shooting one of their own guys to pieces. Only episode 4 was the really strange with its non-lethal takedowns.

I don't really remember Ange violently killing people in Episode 3. I guess there was the count guy, but we don't really see what happened there and Ange was helpless, and the guy was using a grenade launcher at point blank range.
>>
Why elaborate this much on her backstory if it's going to be completely unrelated to all subsequent events?
Here's how to fix the whole chise subplot.

This episode happens, except that instead of killing Jubei, she loses badly and has to be saved by one of the spies. nevertheless, they manage to repeal the assassination and Jubei retreats.

In a future episode, during a somewhat unrelated mission, Jubei interferes and Chise lets her emotions take control and runs waya from the mission to fight him. She still is unable to beat him, but doesn't lose as badly. DUring this incident, we get to see how low Jubei has fallen.

During one of the last episodes, in a critical moment, Chise finally fights and kill him. And instead of all the girls going "wow you had yo kill your father", we get the reveal and we see her grieve in secret. End.
>>
>>160875932
Don't forget the episodes are not in chronological order. The nature of the fight was not preventable as they didn't have intel if they would be attacked or not they just had to escort and protect the target. If they got attacked their job was to defend and they did.

>>160875980
I think the felt wrong bit is actually realistic it is supposed to feel wrong but that is just how it happens. The subtle way she talks about it even hints at that side. Compared to Fate/Apo Princess Principle is much better in my opinion (I'm watching both) the characters in Fate/Apocrypha just felt wrong in probably the same way you felt about this episode all the time.

>>160876080
This would make it so that Jubei is important to the overall plot which he clearly isn't for him to show up multiple times then they would have to write all that stuff your suggesting which is probably not where they are going. Even if they just integrate it into existing plots it still takes up time to make things flow correctly.

>>160876120
The remaining alive people probably are still involved in one way or another.
>>
>>160876061
And they sure as fuck shot at her with gatling guns, and the guy with the grenade launcher was strangled to death, even though we didn't see it. PriPri was never really brutal, the guy getting shot in episode 1 was probably the most gruesome death to witness so far, but it was always, aside from episode 4, deadly. Even the episode without any action, episode 2, had a guy being killed. Episode 5 is not out of place for it's killing and fights.

The thing about 3 is that we don't see anything and Ange doesn't shoot people in that episode.
>>
>>160876141
If it's not supposed to be all that important, then why waste a whole episode on it?
>>
>>160876091
>I think the felt wrong bit is actually realistic it is supposed to feel wrong but that is just how it happens.
Nah, what Chise did was wrong and evil. The show should have given her a much more compelling reason. This shit was just revolting, in my moralfag opinion.
>Compared to Fate/Apo Princess Principle is much better in my opinion
I wholeheartedly agree. I just think that episode 5 was a low point, it is all. Apocrypha is just hilariously bad and the last episode was so retarded I was laughing my lungs off at that crazy, absolutely nonsensical flashback. Sometimes it pays off to be a secondary.

I love this show, I really do. I just don't think this episode was particularly good. Anons keep spouting their 10/10 memes like good little /v/ermin but that's about all.
>>
>>160876141
>This would make it so that Jubei is important to the overall plot which he clearly isn't
He could have been. It wouldn't be that hard to write. For example, they could have made him some sort of muscle at Narmady's service. Kinda like what Chise is to Ange's team. It could have been interesting, and I don't think it would take too much attention away from the main plot.

Even if your an expert at something it doesn't mean your good at everything is how I think of it. The human brain only has the illusion of infinite memory but in reality it cuts corners a lot. Which is why it is always dubious when "experts" start straying way outside their field and use their non-applicable credentials to give weight to their opinions. Princess principal isn't really that hard to understand just remember the episodes are not chronological and the case number indicates orders and the characters are not reliable speakers by nature.

>>160876233
We would have to see what is in store in the future to even know if that makes any sense. Maybe the plot moves in directions that make that impossible or difficult to integrate. I just don't think it really needs to make him survive and remain as a background plot line.

>>160876200
Morally/ethically yes she did wrong/evil but spies and assassins are not exactly paragons of ethic/moral codes. It should be a bit revolting but of course it depends on the viewer.

>>160876197
It serves as an introduction into Japan's involvement and as fast backstory for Chise. I would argue that it is not a waste for one episode. More than that would probably be a bad idea.

>>160876166
I meant that Japan's involvement via them will obviously play a role in future events. There remains the issue that they are re-align with the commonwealth but the Princess has other plans which may or may not cause conflict.

There's no reason to go that far and try to give her a backstory in so short a span. The episode could be made much more precise and elegant by removing the whole father thing, and filling the space with stuff actually related to the plot as a whole. By handling the backstory this badly, it actually hurts the character.

That is a purely subjective line of thinking which we obviously disagree about. I thought it was both effective and efficient but opinions can vary obviously. By removing the father backstory what would they use instead for her backstory if the episode was nominally set to be her introduction episode? Almost anything could be done in place place which make replacement highly subjective.

I see. His faction is probably dead or irrelevant at this point while the other is still involved.

Not really. It's not so much a backstory as it is a character defining introduction - the audience gets to see how far Chise is willing to go and her exact skillset.

She's a mission first person; that'll have a huge impact if she's forced to choose sides.

It felt like her closing a character arc that we only saw the conclusion of.

It was mishandled, in my honest opinion.

Yeah, we haven't reached the halfway mark yet, there are plenty of things than can come out of this even though this particular episode has left me with a sour taste in my mouth. Also, it doesn't help seeing anons praising it so superficially and shitposting en masse about how great it was when it clearly was the low point of the series so far. Other than that, the show has delivered consistently great entertainment so let us have a little faith and see where this leads us to.

Pretty sure not even the writers of Metal Gear know what is going on until after they fill in the gaps with nano-machines = magic and other assorted plot glue. Without copious superglue the whole thing would probably just fall apart. It is why it is so difficult to follow what is going on over the whole timeline. The non-linear bit and fact the characters lie a lot throws people off I think but it isn't really that hard to follow.

No if you look at the actual animators working on the show they're all 3hz regulars. The episodes have all been made at 3hz so far. Director has close ties, one of the two chief animation directors is from 3hz. Episodes like the last are the result of 3hz connections with Ebata. If anything it's much more like a 3hz production that some ACTAS staff have been involved in anon.

That's just a meme though. In the actual show her reason to aim for queen is a promise she made with Ange as kids, not a personal ambition, and we haven't really seen anything that would suggest she's evil.

What you saying is simply proved "an idea from Actas, and cooperation with 3hz to keep the quality."(and remember, 3hz boss isn't even have an position in this show), because well, it's pretty common you have an idea and then give the idea to someone can handle it, and he just need to send one or 2 main guy(this time is himself and one of Actas animation director) to work with them.
Or let's image what would happen if this is purely done by Actas, when they still have 6 GuP movie to make and first one is coming this fall.

Well a lot of the time people tend to like binary rating systems (10/10 or 0/10, which is probably why Rotten Tomatoes is so popular) and it is why I don't really use/give numeric scores just read lots of words to figure out what someone is thinking. I thought the episode was great but not perfect and it certainly is possible that it doesn't work for some viewers given it is action heavy and morally dubious. Overall though I think the series is doing just fine and among the top shows I look forward to watching this season.

Yeah, it's not like there's a double meaning, and the true meaning will be made aparent in retrospect, like a foreshadowing. You're absolutely right, I concede defeat.

No I mean mean show that 3hz has mostly made so far in its entirety with some help here and there from ACTAS. The idea doesn't come from either studio. It comes from a producer at Bandai Visual who own ACTAS. I believe 4/5 episode directors so far also worked on Flip Flappers for example and if you look at the KA list on episode 1 it might as well be Flip Flappers.
>>
>>160877349
Princess on the surface was saying that she's the bad one for betraying the kingdom, but she's also subtly admiting being the bad one for manipulating Ange.

Princess lying to Ange is a certainty at this point. What we're waiting for is simply whether it will be that kind of simple twist, or will there be a double twist where Ange actually knew Princess has been using her.

>I thought the episode was great but not perfect and it certainly is possible that it doesn't work for some viewers given it is action heavy and morally dubious.
I don't question the action, that was perfectly fine. I failed to be emotionally invested in it because having Chise kill her father for absolutely no good reason was revolting and to add insult to injury the show just expected me to fill in the backstory. That is not acceptable writing. So I'm really in this position where I hope that they redeem Chise somehow instead of leaving her be as this mindless political drone that kills family for all the wrong reasons.

Other than that, yes, this is one of the better shows of the season and has a lot of great things going for it.

It's not manipulation when she's upfront about it. Ange wanted to run away after all, and the only reason she stayed is because Princess wants to be queen. I can't see why Princess would betray her when Ange's already her loyal dog and is willing to go against her own family for her sake.

Bandai Visual don't own Actas, they don't.
>>
>>160877563
Jesus Christ, you annihilated me with that argument. Mercy, my liege.

>>160877531
There is a good chance that, considering she was born a commoner, she just wants the throne for power and will be using Ange to get closer to her goal. Since Ange is the princess that refuses her throne this is a perfect set-up for a final conflict.
>>
>>160877562
That doesn't make sense when the show goes out its way to suggest Princess doesn't care about luxury and stuff. If anything, the show is making it pretty clear she's not the sort of person that would want to be queen without a legit reason.
>>
>>160877525

The human body density is 985 kg/m3.

A girl whose height is 150 cm weights approximately 42kg.
We can conclude she is 0,04 m3.

Iron is 7874 kg/m3.
Beato weight around 335 kgs (738 pounds, 53 stones).

Obviously this is a upper limit, but yeah Princess stronk

tl;dr Beato weight is roughly 8 times the one of an organic girl.

>>160877439
Made in Abyss's world is arguable even more screwed up in the moral/gore/ethics department than this episode even when they are still on the surface (child workforce, death is OK, everyone goes into the abyss to pretty much die and it is celebrated, so on and so forth). It is still going to be a fun ride to watch for me at least. I just watch too much dark comedy I guess so I'm more lenient with morally dubious characters in fiction.
>>
>>160877602
Anon, Princess is actually pushing Ange to be more honest with herself and become more like she was in the past instead of being the stoic dog she's today. That wouldn't make any sense if what you say it's true.
>>
>>160877627
Most of the audience are brainlets incapable of understanding exactly how the last episode ruined Chise's character. So you are completely correct.

>>160877641
Made in Abyss does have fucked up stuff but it's generally pretty upfront about everyone's motivations. Some are just mad because muh Abyss others are just old and torn apart and also there is the unforgiving realities of going spelunking in a literal den of monsters. But there is always a motivation that you, the viewer, can assess and make a judgment.

Chise killing her father was something you had to assume she had good reason for. This is bad writing and there are no two ways about it.
>>
Hints that Princess is evil:
-it fits with the genre

Hints she's a good girl
-is noted for not caring about luxury and such
-wants Ange to be more like she was as a kid, when Ange was the princess
-is actually pretty nice to everyone
-Normandy wants to kill her or get rid of her through political marriage, and he's actually fucking evil
>>
>>160877633
I doubt she is fully made of iron not to mention it is probably steel and other alloys but as an upper order of magnitude limit I think it is better to say at most 50% of her body volume is metal as humans are not exactly solid either as lungs robotic or not need empty space to work. I'd estimate around 200 pounds to be more realistic as there is no way she is solid metal and still able to move. Not to mention we don't really know how extensive the cybernization process went aside from her neck being artificial.

There is more to power than just luxury, brainlet. Plenty monarchs lived a modest life and were praised for it in history.

Some people desire being the leader in order to lead the nation in the direction they want, such as eliminating obnoxious noble and adopting meritocracy, stopping wars with diplomacy instead of violence, or wanting to save the citizens from evil royal relatives. As a girl, being Queen also means not being married off to foreign land as a piece of object.

Political ambition is not always self-serving. It doesn't have to be good nor bad either, just neitral.

All the holes in the body were taken care when I calculated the the volume though, it's very rough but it should take care of organs needing space to work.

Steel density is higher than iron, bronze is comparable if not higher than iron.

It all depends on how mechanized she is.

I do agree that it's incredibly obvious, annoyingly so in fact. But I don't see Lizard having any other weak points besides burkahime.

Let's see how this plays out.

>>160877704
Her father is supporting the shogunate, this is neither really bad nor good but a traitor is a traitor and the custom is he is to be killed. You cannot compare it to voting in the modern era because they are closer to their lord than we'd be to our candidates. Such a system with severe consequences and focus on honor would come about to ensure the stability of society. This is the world she lived in and it would be normal if that is what you grew up with.

>>160877869
Anon, you're making this very sound argument about collectives and I do partially agree with you. I will just tell you though that the shogunate is not the only collective you should consider, the clan is also a worthy one. Her father rebelling was a political thing, surely he was not alone in this endeavour. Why his own daughter, age 14, choose to part ways with him and manhunt him for 2 whole years is something that remains unknown to us, the viewer. This is a fact.

Politics be damned, they're seldom a reason to go against blood. And if politics were her sole motivation, then we have to make peace with the fact that Chise is just a mindless political drone that does the murdering for the big guy while ignoring her own morals and her own will.

In summary, Chise is either
>a) an unlikable political tool
or
>b) motivated by something that was not actually shown to us, the audience.
>>
>>160877865
My personal theory at the moment is that there's gonna be a false flag to test their loyalty to her. It would seem like the Princess betrayed them and it's gonna be really hard for them, but they're gonna stick with her anyway and ultimately learn she didn't betray them at all.

The politicians didn't even want her to do it, but she did it because of the honor system that they have. His betrayal would be a shame on the family name that would have to be amended immediately. Now I would agree that the situation would be messed up if her own father didn't want to die, but he couldn't have been more proud of the outcome as he knew he messed up and this was coming.
>>
>>160877996
Because a samurai swore loyalty with his/her employer, not his/her family. It's an actual code of honour, written in text, that you must sacrifice your family if it's for the sake of your employer. Chise honours this vow, and also obviously thinks the shogunate is evil trash. She has the perfect reason to kill her father.
>>
>>160877919
>Princess simply had raised a bunch of liar flags
For me it's the opposite. She has been so upfront about her goals and shit that I can't see why she would lie. We also have three factions right now with the Commonwealth, the kingdom and White Pigeons. I do expect the Princess to set White Pigeons against the other two factions, but betraying her own faction on top of that seems overkill if not actually nonsensical.

Personally, I'm of the mind that this is some elaborate double-cross and that her father wanted her to kill him. They have to redeem her character, if you think about it, her whole circumstance is beyond fucked up. I'm really hoping for a payoff here.

>>160878095
So what you're saying is that the spy troupe actually has two robots but only one of them is incapable of conscience? Her father was under the same vows, anon. What inspired him to rebel? Why did she decide to hunt her father other than this nebulous "honour"? Did her father see a greater good? Why did his daughter not share the same vision?

These are relevant questions. She killed her father. If she didn't have a good reason to do so, she's an evil and thoroughly irredeemable character.

Only a Chise deals in absolutes.

Of course. Executing a rebel who is trying to kill your political leader has no room for gray area. It's a black and white decision.

Killing your own father isn't a grey area. She was pretty gung-ho about it so she must have had a good reason.

Either that or she's sick in the head.

Gray as in kill or not kill, not as in good or bad. Fucking brainlet.

The samurai were the bad guys. They no longer had power and were outdated. You can see this because the people who came to represent Japan were the Lord and people who represented order compared to the militaristic and chaotic samurai.

Japan moved past samurai having all the power. The samurai attacking are thus rebels/terrorists since they opt for violence and force than negotiations.

That should be enough reason to justify Chise in killing her father and why she sided against the samurai. At this point they're not even just different factions, they're just the enemy.

Dude samurai terrorizing and attacking government and people that are actual officials of Japan is not petty politics. That's fucking terrorism or straight out war.

Also it was known that sne and her father fought many times before. Your argument that she's monstrous for killing him is baseless. If her father fights her then it's fair for her to fight him back. To imply that it's ok for him to fight and that she should back down and let him do what he wants is silly.
