I kinda barely remember who Battamonda was tbh, feels like his episodes were so long ago, I guess his temper was the thing that defined him (and still does). Whenever I hear “toki wa kita”, I think of Machikado Mazoku. I suppose “I wuv it so much” is a bit on the longer side for a sentence but I’m kinda giving up on tracking Ellee’s speech growth.

The use of blur and shadows was pretty nice this ep, particularly when Battamonda dropped his brush and the focus shifted from the sketchbook to the brush.

Eh, not so much of a fan of this ep. Battamonda’s expressions were nicely animated, but the back and forth thing didn’t really land with me. And it was kinda obvious with the full transformations and attack sequences they had to pad things out a bit (although yeah, the chroniclon one still looks great). Are they trying to draw parallels between Ellee’s liking Mashiron’s books and the Cure Majesty closing the chroniclon?

Eat shit, Battamonda!

Tsuchida always comes up with some hilarious visual comedy.
