Isekai Yururi Kikou: Kosodateshinagara Boukensha Shimasu Episode 12 Discussion

As a big Isekai fan, I really enjoyed this series; especially since I needed something light hearted to balance out Failure Frame this season.

I'm a dub watcher, so watching it in English had another joke for me; Matt Shipman, who does the MC, I primarily know for his work on Dr Stone so it was really weird to hear "Chrome" say some lines here and there (in a funny way, to be clear)

Now, onto my reactions for the episode (apologies for sounding like I'm rambling; I'm writing this post as I watch it)

Not going to lie... seeing him talk about how dangerous the bubbles were only to just in the next moment inventory them away... I don't know, doesn't that feel a bit too Deus Ex Machina to anyone? You hype them up as dangerous only to give them a pretty simple resolution

The kids accidentally triggering the trap only for Takumi to forgive them pretty quick- actually, pretty funny moment

...of course the lion would get himself stuck like that; well, can't blame him for being excited

If that's Takumi's reaction to a little Kraken... agreed, don't want to see a giant Kraken. I feel like there's a joke in here somewhere along the lines of "Are you kidding me? This show is way too lighthearted for a monster with tentacles!" but I'm going to leave it alone

Fun fact- simple way to stop a monster that can regenerate: After cutting off the appendage in question, just use fire to cauterize the wound and it won't grow back. That's how Hercules defeated the Hydra in Greek myth. But this way works too

Huh, odd- usually the whole "meeting the monarch" part of the story falls in the episode 8-10 range of the season; saving that for the last half of the last episode, that's different. On the bright side at least the king has enough sense to respect Takumi's desire to remain low-key

Is it just me... or did Takumi basically just invent a form of Volleyball in this world?

"With them who cares about something as trivial as blood?" Glad that the red haired guy made such an important point there; Takumi, Alan and Elena really have become a family over the season

Wow, that ending was, I think the saying is "right in the feels" (sorry, I don't do slang). For as much as Alan and Elena wanted to day in the end they still chose Takumi... and what a way for the contracted Beasts to show themselves to the other characters.

Honestly, the season ended the way it needed to end- with the gang still together. This was a great series, and since there was no title card at the end that said "The end" or "thanks for watching" it gives me hope that a season 2 is a possibility. Would love to see what comes next for them.

Till then; that wraps up this show for the Summer 2024 season, onto the next one
