Yeahyeahyeah!
I love the "ONEONE ST" direction in the background when they go out to get a dog with Anya in "wan wan" mode :D
Seriously silly anime of the season :D
Bonus points to the official subbers for putting "Borf." in for the dog.
Yor's imagination going to space and back when she starts to panic gets me every time.
Also the cute little details like Anya reading the minds of the dogs in the Agency Pet Shop to re-establish that her powers extend to animals before it becomes relevant to the main plot.
The agency dogs flexing broke me.
Wonder what went on in fluffy dog's head.
*Future sight*.. if I run around this block, a lady will come out and kick this guy in the face really hard.
wtf?
.. guess I'll run around this block.
Probably exactly that?Quote:

I mean, there's also the possibility that he panicked and didn't know what to do. They showed he's a little cowardly at times.
Anya is not nearly as smart as she comes off publicly either, she's just reading peoples thoughts.
Clairvoyance or no, in the end we need to recognize that he's still just a dog.
Do we? He was part of a project to make dogs smarter.Quote:

Some serious Black Lagoon vibes this week.
Sylvia Sherwood...wow. The spymaster from the West has certainly seen or done a lot of what she laid out to those students. War fucking sucks, and anyone who wishes for one or wants to prolong one has obviously never seen the effects it has on people firsthand. Slyvia has, and so has Twilight. And kicking out a guy's tooth with the spike of her heel? Slyvia is certainly not just a desk bureaucrat or a manager.
But I get the sense that from her, "Have you ever been killed before?" line that on the surface is absurd, but given the other things she describes, she probably has had a point where she didn't consider herself alive either.
Also the causal drive up and attempt to assassinate Keith by the other WISE agents, and Yor channeling Roberta to scare off the dogs.
But it is the Anya details that sell this series so hard. She might be an esper, and the dog might be a precog, but it doesn't change the fact that she's maybe 5 years old at this point, and he's a dog. Anya can't read analog clocks, has a poor sense for time, bombs aren't wired up like in the cartoons, and she cries when she panics.
For all the other dumb things Anya does, she's exceptionally wary of being found out as an esper. She must have had some very tough times as a toddler.
edit:
On a fun note, the dog is voiced by the narrator of the series.
So mean! I don't want wan-chan to be shot :(.
Anya riding on Borf-chan is exceptionally cute btw.... especially when he just picks her up and carries her around with his mouth.
The Adventures of Anya and Borf is definitely a welcome addition to this show.Quote:

I also love how she ruffles his cheeks in the ED.
Borf might be the cutest doggo I've ever seen in anime.
Surprised that they didn't conclude this arc this ep, but the setup and pacing haven't faltered yet, so who am I to complain?
S2 EP3

Hnnggg... what the fuck, my heart hurts.
The bow tie was cute.
Slyvia has a weakness towards children, for obvious reasons. It's nice seeing her opposite softie side, compared to her Balalaika side with kicking teeth out.
It's funny that Anya keeps blatantly ignoring Becky, her only real friend. Becky's family is almost as important as Damian's.
I didn't really like the way they handled Yor kicking the car. It's very obscured here, but in the manga, she blatantly kicks the entire mass of the car to veer into the pole, emphasizing Yor's obscene power level. Keith intended to run her over to escape.
That's how it seemed to me. She kicked the car, which is unbelievable in itself. A bit too unrealistic for my taste, when there are a ton of other ways to show her OPness without annihilating physics.Quote:

Jumps 10m or more to grip roof structures, jumps from road bridges. She's what a human sized grasshoper would be with cheetah speeds and swallow manoeuvrability.
