Good catch, I’d completely missed them at first glance. As for the unidentified characters, I’m reading the former as a K-On spoof and the latter as Evangelion.

Yeah, the creepiness caught me completely off guard and I’m here for it! The crazy thing is this episode was also arguably the most wholesome too.

Glad I decided to give this show a shot, what a ride it’s been so far lol

I’m an anime only watcher and that sure mirrors my experience. I’ll say it helps that Gushing feels like it’s got a lot of heart beyond the ecchi, while Chained Soldier just feels really bland. I’ve heard the latter hardly does the source material justice so maybe I’ll check it out 🤔

Hell, I watched Re:Creators back then and I have zero memory of a mc type character so there you go lol

That’s fascinating, thanks for sharing! Whether the show turns up alright or not, I’m glad it’s going to be a thing at all.
