It was supposed to be a surprise reveal. The audience were supposed to be confused about why Naofumi always treated her like a tiny kid despite her looks, and this episode exposed the twisted reason.
About the food, what do you usually eat Buff? And what counts for a nice meal for you?
Peace.
It was supposed to be a surprise? Oh.. well... fine.
I live with family right now, so whatever they cook I'm happy with.
When I was by myself previously I usually rotated between the following meals:
1) curry + rice.
2) pasta
3) instant noodles
Vegetables would usually be frozen because it's easy.
Fruits were usually either apples or pears because they taste nice and tend to keep well.
Protein would be in powder form. When I see cheap meats I'd get that at times too. Tinned tuna is convenient, though I found kangaroo mince at around 8-10AUD/kg to be a relatively lean and cheap source of real meat protein and micronutrients. It's a bit smelly though.
For routine meals, I'm after:
1) convenience and low effort.
2) relatively satisfactory taste for said convenience.
3) nutritionally adequate when taken the full day's meals into account.
4) a core rotation (like above) to keep things interesting, but tight enough that it's easy to shop for and manage inventory-wise.
As for a nice meal, if I go out for a stirfry or order some pizza or something, that's not bad. I've only eaten a handful of really expensive stuff. It's good, but it's not sustainable with my income so I don't really look back at it.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I'm sorry.
Peace.

I was on a diet while going to university. I needed something portable, convenient and non-messy (ie not breaking cans of tuna every 4hrs) with adequate protein plus minimal carbs. And cheap, had to be cheap.
The answer? Unsweatenned, unsalted peanut butter. Consume 500g ($5AUD) every 2 days.
Did that for 18 months.

When I am more stable, I will go to Australia and cook for you. Wait for it.
Peace.
Sounds wonderful.
Meanwhile, I'll be here.

I think the whole "falling into darkness" part would've been better if they showed the twisted laughing faces they had in the manga.
I'm not sure if I remember it wrong, but when Naofumi was complaining about how the world viewed him, he always imagined them laughing at him with a scheming smile. And the black "void" coming for him from the edges of the panel.
It's honestly the first time where I'd say that the manga did a much better job with that.
The "darkness" in the anime almost felt like a scene of tranquility. It wasn't as menacing as I hoped.
And while that is hardly exclusive to this anime, I always feel disappointed when I see the MC lying on the floor like frozen when he's about to break... literally *no* emotion at all... just lying there like a stone.
Just image that scene with him cursing and crying/hating on everything, slamming his fist on the ground and trying to hurt himself or something. Would've been much more impactful as it would've been much more difficult for Raphtalia to approach him.

What are you DOING, Buff?!
Kangaroo mince ...?!
That's the part you pick on? What about the tasteless peanut butter diet?? Stir fry and pizza being a nice meal??
Gamey meat prepared well is absolutely delicious. If you really don't want any gamey taste, just make sausages and mask it. I've had kangaroo sausages before and they taste good. I could definitely make better dishes myself using the meat though. Something like kangaroo tagine or kangaroo hui mei.
@krayz - I totally agree with you with Naofumi just lying there like that. That was weird. At the very least he should be shaking due to emotion.

Peace.
It feels like there's some metaphor beetween how he shielded himself from everything that world had to offer, as a safety mechanism and how the shield works, probably even up to a psychological level. After all he unlocked another shield type thanks to his mental state. If his shield can be altered by his psychology, it's possible his shield can affect his psychology too.

New ep out.

Goes quite fast, good thing.
Transitional ep, waiting for the meat of what's to come.
I need a good Filorial, it's just I'm not so sure about food costs compared to my cars expenses

Episode 5
----
Noooo, gimme the fat bird back!
Who needs that generic flat loli ...
Seriously, this is one of those 'that's why modern anime suck' type decisions. The fat bird was hilarious and fun. But then they make it needlessly sexual. Meh :/
On the episode: fuck, I can hardly enjoy this as I'm permanently on the lookout about how these fucks plan to screw Naofumi over this time 🙈
Raphi going back to slave was.kindadun, too. If naofumi can't learn to trust her now, he'll never trust anyone ever again. And, I mean, ... a girl who chooses to be your slave? That's all sorts of icky.
It was her choice to get the Slave Crest back. She knows that he trusts her but it's more of a symbol that she will never betray him and also cannot.
I have to say the anime has better bits than then manga but manga also has better scenes. I liked the use of Air Strike Shield something that wasn't used in the manga. In the manga you could see Firo get fatigued and getting through it through anger like Naofumi.
The order of things is also a bit wrong but we'll see that next time I think.
Well, that slave crest scene was also there to show Raphtalia's feelings for Naofumi... who is oblivious obviously.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
The way I see it, Raphtalia was worried of Naofumi cutting her loose at some point, now that she wasn't anymore bound to him. In the end, she knows he's a good guy, so there might have appeared any number of excuses for him to think it's not proper for him to keep dragging her around and exposing her to danger. I suppose she would have rather married him, but that not being realistic, getting back the slave status would be the next highest assurance he doesn't push her away.
The whole crest thing was to show us Raphi's boobs.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I'd actually disagree. If they wanted to be trashy, they could've pushed her clothes lower, but it was displaced just enough to put the crest on. Fanservice was obviously a factor but wasn't the main point.
Peace.
It was dumb anyway. Let me be a sjw for a moment: imagine watching that scene while being black. Yeah ... 🙈🐧
The princess's schemes have, at this point, become Hanna-Barbera comical and I'm surprised anyone takes her seriously anymore.
Evil taxation, unreasonable challenge, followed by immediate and unsuccessful cheating... Her hand is played so poorly, it devalues her as an antagonist. I'd prefer if the show moves away from her for a while.
I'd prefer if goblins rape her.
Peace.
