Zenshuu. Episode 8 Discussion

These past two episodes have been the best so far, almost enough to overlook some of the flaws in the previous episodes.

It feels like it was written as a two-parter. I'm glad I watched these two back-to-back, as it made me appreciate the flow between them.

Pantsless Natsuko is best Natsuko.

But also, the foreshadowing from the director thoughhh. The obvious guess is that Natsuko leaves the world and leaves Luke behind, which is his new demise.
Also, it's a very interesting detail that the peg bar was the director's... Why does it have a will of its own, and why is it constantly telling Natsuko to draw and change the story, which goes against what the director wants?

Also, anyone notice that the Gundam-esque mecha was from the movie poster in episode 1? I remember looking at it when we saw Serval Cat Mask way back when:

@stevejawbs I have so many questions as well that i'm hoping to get answered as the story plays out.

Based on those posters i'm guessing Natsukl will plan to draw the characters of her most successful anime to date, that Magical Girl with ligtning powers at some point in the coming episodes to resist the Bird Director's machinations.

Hot take

personally I didn't really like the fact that natsuko went 'squee' at the end cus I like to think of her as more of a standalone character rather than a character that is relying on someone emotionally/romantically. like imagine Dumbledore in harry potter's second movie, being lovestruck. that's what it feels like to me.

I also don't really like luke's character since he's the generic mc type, strong, handsome.

this ep doesn't really cater to my taste but I can see why some people like it so much and I respect their views

@Nimuuuuuu
Huh? Everybody knows JKR's HP saga is

@Shirowhite01 I thought she already used her own series in the episode of many summons?
