"In return, I'll marry you."..
Itami hasn't shown any signs of liking his wife at all, and at the very least he doesn't think she likes him on any significant level. I wonder why the hell he went with the offer?
Because he's Itami and he's too nice to say no I guess.

No, Rory, you are very much not a kid. Considering how bloody battles make her orgasm, and she's not hesitant to show it even in public, I'd say it's a huge stretch she would have had no sexual experience in her 900 years of life. Too bad Itami can't go for it with the stupid Americans coming. Might have been a unique opportunity to taste a woman soon turning into a deity.
The Americans must have been mercenaries, not soldiers technically. Actual American soldiers being there, doing that would be a far greater scandal than whatever the papers delivered to the prime minister described. As expected, the American mercs were from the bottom of the barrel as well (lowest bidder wins), losing so miserably to the peace loving Japanese soldiers who have never seen a war outside of TV and video games.Originally Posted by MFauli
Last but not least, I'd have never expected such a loud and clear reference to FSN. This really is a strange show.
I really liked the Fate references. Soldiers were Servants...code names Saber..Archer..Grail has been filled....Nice.
Disgusting levels of right-wing nationalism in this episode and laughably cliché American names.
Lelei playing with magic in the onsen was cute though. Nice to know from that non-verbal display in the background that their magic works in the normal world as well.
Very curious if Tuka's purchase of a bow will finally make her a relevant character.
It is nice to know magic works in the normal world. Could totally change a lot of things but I don't the show will go that far.
I reckon it requires the biology of the denizens of that other world to work. Of course it should still change things, especially if they have healing magic over there. Hospitals would totally hire all competent magical healers they could get their hands on and who would be willing to migrate over. Well, apparently the Americans in this show don't care if one is willing or not... To Ryll's delight.
Lelei said that humans in their world have a similar lifespan, even if a tad short like underdeveloped countries.So it's possible that magic healers also have their limits...
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
There would be endlessly work for them even if they couldn't extend the population's average lifespan significantly (that would require a whole army of healer mages). Cancer and many other conditions modern medicine is still very much struggling with would provide the work, in exchange for fabulous amounts of money. Assuming they can cure it or other difficult maladies, of course.
On the other hand, Tuka can be a fashion model forever.

HS - Episode 10
---------------------------------
-Ex-wife is spot on about the girls' appeal.
-Wtf Tuka? Either he hangs around in spirit, she's hallucinating or her memory is shit-house - in that order. She's been like this since she arrived at their base for the first time.

sigh, so Itami is another gay hero after all. How nonchalantly he reacted when Rory complained about the ringing phone interrupting ... yeah, why would he care, he just WAS SO CLOSE TO BANGING THIS HOT GOTH LOLI. Argh! Drives me truly nuts. He could have at least grabbed her ass. sigh sigh sigh
Ridiculous that the President of the USA would be in direct contact to such shady commands.
And during the drive through town, I realized how much this anime suffers from its harem-bullshit. How much more interesting would it have been to have 1 or 2 male visitors, too? It felt weird when everybody was saying "there are the shoujou-tachi/girls", as if it bears any special significance ... except they´re all girls because of Itami´s gay pants.
Rory also got a battle upgrade. So she can deflect rifle bullets now. Okay. And wait, she auto-regenerates? Haha, wow. Got me thinking if she was immune to sleeping gas, seeing how that´s the only remaining option to possibly deal with her.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Or nukes.
Peace.
Demi-gods can't die, and they're insanely strong. Rory owns everything.
Except Hardy. I want to meet this guy to see what he's about.

Rory massacre was quite awesome.
That said, I kinda miss Itami kicking a bit of ass. Probably since the very first episode we really haven't seen Itami in full badass action.
Yeah especially since he should be pretty good at it considering he's among the top as they said it.
Ahh well..next episode..Dark Elves!
Rory wouldn't be close to godhood if she wasn't able to do at least this much. It entirely possible she couldn't have destroyed the big dragon, though, for example. Maybe if she burns fast enough, she can't regenerate fast enough, or at least keep fighting.
Itami was quite disappointing here, that's for sure. You'd think an otaku would have been able to come up with a theory or two. He's a real waste of skin. At least in the manga he did grab two handfuls of Rory's derriere.
I'm happy they are back in the other world. The writing's hardly good enough in general, but this trip to Japan was below the average.
I'm a little disappointed with some of the cuts from the manga version. Namely bathtime with Rory after the bloody slaughter to wash off all the blood/discover her regeneration abilities. Instead we just get her standing on a rock talking. First few pages of chapter 23 for anyone interested.
I really like Itami and his ex-wife's interactions. I might root for her after Rory out of the harem crew.
While he has a lot of girls, it really isn't a harem, though. Rory is obviously after him, but Tuka is just crazy and Lelei is a teenager. The princess isn't really interested in him either.
I'm gonna miss Itami's ex-wife. She was probably the best part to the entire Japan arc. Their little farewell was somewhat touching.
Tuka's outfits was good for fanservice at least. Elves in modern human clothing, new fetish confirmed.
She's probably still a little batshit though. It's not like the rest of the cast hasn't noticed either. Someone should be talking to her about it.
That someone will be Itami. Calling it.
Supposedly he's not all that combat-capable, just very good at running away (evasion?)
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Yeah but how can you complete that kind of training simply by being good at running away?
