I'm not sure what that is. My browser failed verification so I didn't get very far.

Episode 12 Final
- --- -
I didn't hate the last ep, even though this short arc was kind of meaningless for the larger plot. Perhaps it's because the ep had relatively much Bell+Ais, which is my favourite shipping pair. Though that being said, the arc itself shipped Bell+Hestia, so there was that sour aftertaste.
That episode was probably the only good one this season.
It tells us about the impact the gods have and how their existence in the lower realms messes with human life.
I also love the " a minute vs. eternity" aspect of it all.
Gods coming down to lower realms mess with human/demihumans lives as much as humans/demihumans lives messes with Gods' existences.
And as short as a love story with a lower realm being can be for an eternal God, that story can change them forever.
Sure Gods could stay up in heavens and leave lower realms alone. But where's the fun ?
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I wonder about that, it almost seems like a "short sweet trip" to them in my opinion.Gods coming down to lower realms mess with human/demihumans lives as much as humans/demihumans lives messes with Gods' existences.
After all, they went to earth out of boredom
Apollo, Freya, Ares and Soma for example don't seem to be bothered by how they influence human life and while what has happened in this episode, or rather, what was being told in this episode was beautiful, it still shows that the presence of a god completely messes up human lifetime. Him not taking or wanting to find a wife is proof of that.
At the same time, the love of a god can be endless. Hestia not finding another Bell in the next 20.000 years for example is far more unlikely than a human not finding love a second time.
And as Hephaistos put it, a God's love is that of a mother to it's child and very rarely the love between lovers. This is not really the case for their familia children, they are not children seeking attention from their mother... and sometimes, it's not even love in the first place and their are simply being forced into their "games".
I don't think it's right to mess with hundreds or thousands of lives to get that 1 child who you will fall in love with.

Eh, the gods of old, as they were depicted, couldn't care less if they messed up the mortals' lives. They were a part of the world, after all. Even in practice, in real history, they had a bigger role due to the rampant superstition than today. It goes without saying the impact is far more significant in the universe of this series where the gods are there for anyone to see. Honestly, I'd rather take a world with real gods than a world where a religion is but a tool of power and control like ours.
That might be what it starts out as, but not what it ends up being.
From the way no god seemingly wants to go back, it seems that being in the Lower World is almost universally better than being in the Upper World to them. And I believe they said that once they die and return above, they can never come back down again.
So to the gods, it's less a short sweet trip and more "I'm immigrating from my shitty country to a nicer country. I hope I never get deported back to my shitty country."
That's weird though, because you are basically saying that you wish to be controlled by divine magic, instead of making your own choices - such as ignoring religion all together and not be part of a fanatic group.
When Freya goes around and makes you her slave you might enjoy it, but not out of your free will.
Gods meddling with mortals such as us is exactly what shoudn't happen, because we end up being irrational.
But that's still the "short sweet trip" when you live for an eternity. It's like vacation that ends once they mess up.So to the gods, it's less a short sweet trip and more "I'm immigrating from my shitty country to a nicer country. I hope I never get deported back to my shitty country."
They don't have to work on earth, their children provide them with any and everything they need to do whatever they want to do. At least that's the case for most of the gods.

Looks like we're getting an OVA in January (probably a fanservice one), followed by season 3 in the Summer. I really like the next arc, hopefully it's done right. Lots of potential for action and violence, and tense moments.
S3 Episode 1
- - - - - -
For a good deal of the episode I was wondering why they don't clip the monster kid's nails. Fortunately they did, finally, after the first accident happened.
I'm really happy Haruhime and Mikoto are there. The family growing feels like the most significant thing that happened in the series. However, the fact it took so long naturally also increased its impact. I won't say liking fox girls wouldn't affect my judgement, haha.
Looking at the ED, it seems like Bell will defend a whole lot of intelligent monsters, to the point of needing to confront no one else but Ais herself. That ought to be interesting.
I was actually hoping they wouldn't clip Weine's nails, or at least not until Weine volunteered the idea. I read into it as an Imperialism metaphor a bit too much.
Haruhime's addition was fine. Mikoto joining them always felt a little weird since she had her own family.
I found the episode quite a chore to watch since I don't like the "raising a little kid" episodes usually. There are exceptions like the Shield Hero characters.

Depends if they're like human nails, or animal claws.
If they're like animal claws, cutting them down that much hurts them, as claws still have veins and nerves in then.
I guess, but since it's a miracle she wasn't killed, a little cultural assimilation seems like a small price to pay.
She's very humanoid, so it's reasonable to think the nails would be like humanoid nails as well, although probably tougher. Maybe they were highly useful in the dungeon, but now she hurt Bell quite nastily by accident, against her own intentions. You could see how she was more distressed than Bell himself by it, no wonder she feared that would be it for her. I imagine they were also hampering her own life out of the dungeon. If she ends up back there, she might like to regrow them, unless she adopts external weapons, but otherwise I wouldn't worry about it. She looked pleased once they were clipped, after all. Furthemore, nobody attempted to clip them before the accident, so it wasn't an idea pushed onto her based on some aesthetic or purely (human) cultural reasons. Psychologically, she knows she's a monster and different from everyone else, so I'd say being that little bit more similar to everyone would be a relief for her as well, seeing how she's nothing but a child.
