- Definitely sounds like one to me, I don't think I've ever seen a name ending in -suke that wasn't a guy's name. I assume she took a male pseudonym to publish.

Let's go, Shinpei, chop chop chop!
Summertime Render 6
Summertime Render 6
- Spoiler:
-the shadow moving out of the way, I'm really loving this tell, because it means you have to be paranoidly watching every scene
-Nagumo (have we ever gotten her real name??) figures who he is before he even can tell her his name, she's almost too on top of all this
-(this show is making me so paranoid I started thinking "wait, maybe Nagumo isn't a pen name, she's just a shadow and doubled the real Nagumo in order to get her book published"
)
-Nagumo needs to avoid him for now, but in the last loop was confident she'd help him if he told her his name?
-oh shit, her sister Ryuunosuke died from Shadows! (again, odd name for a girl)! I'd assumed her sister was the person she was talking on the phone with. It could be that she just mentally talks to her & took her name as a way of staying close to her, but it's probably more than that. IIRC, in prior loops wasn't there a bit where she credited her sister for giving some kind of knowledge/ability to deal with Shadows? Which suggests something similar to Shinpei's doubled self, and maybe her sister or her sister's Shadow gave her a part of the Mother the way Ushio or Ushio's shadow maybe gave Shinpei Mother's eye, and that's why she's got that future-sense.
-Wait, wasn't Haine what she called Mother???!?
-her old friend was Shiori's mom, I like the way they keep linking in the peripheral characters to reveal a web of connections a little at a time
-that foot getting aggressive with the Shadow
-Beardy guy's her contact!
-only one Shadow can make other shadows, and that's not normal. I assume it's Shiori and that's why her eyes are blank like that and she seems special
-footsteps with a gap
-I guess Shiori doesn't double him because he threw her off the scent by making her think he doesn't know she's a shadow? Or what? There keep being little bits that I don't quite follow.
-figuring out when Mio was copied by her underwear
-that lunch looks fantastic
-SMASHY SMASHY!!! ... maybe it was Nagumo that left the dents in Shiori's family's floor
-what the FUCK, is Beardy a shadow already?!?
-oh phew, no, but that's a hell of a way to check someone's shadow
-Alan in the next stall
-her thing of hanging upside-down feels very fake anime-quirky, I think they just did it for the upside-down boobs
-asking for her autograph while pretending to himself it's just as a way to say his name
-given how easily both Nagumo and the Shadows guessed he's repeating time, plus the fact that Nagumo also has a time-related ability that seems likely gotten in the same way as Shinpei's, seems like Mother's some kind of time god/demon herself.

- Spoiler:
- OHHHH, Ryuunosuke can sense shadows just like that
- Hmmmm, why does she know Ushio
- She was a local, but she never tried their food before?
- What kind of book are you reading, teenage Hizuru
- Ahaaaa, so she told Shinpei to tell her his name as a code-word because she was kinda already onto him for some reason
- Wait, avoid him?
- Ryuunosuke died, but she's using his name
- OOPS, Hizuru caused a kerfuffle at the funeral
- Aha, the mother of the drowned girl... but who hasn't been killed or replaced yet?
- The timeline of events is sure getting interesting
- Oh fuck, it is a shadow
- Ayyyy, hunter-kun is in on it too
- Hunter-kun is how she got the gun, then
- Oh man, the fucking ant crawling through their shadows, I think they've been showing us that ant for a few episodes now
- Mio fucking backs away from him quickly after he asks her what colour her panties were yesterday
- The panties are a fucking clue, god dammit this anime is something else
- That grey haired guy has a villain voice actor
- OH NO ALAN
- Nice, you can sledgehammer shadows
- In the sharpshooter's sights
- Sniped his shadow to make sure he was real, god damn
- Carries around a sledgehammer in her suitcase
- Shinpei asking for her autograph but using it as an excuse to tell her his full name
- She signs it for him
- FUCK OFF CUTTING OFF THERE

- I think she said in a previous episode that she didn't try it because she was pretty young the last time she was here, if it's a fermented fish, it's probably kind of a grown-up taste that kids wouldn't eat. Still, the way she's been talking about the place didn't really come off like she'd lived till she was in middle school, she seemed too much to be treating the island like a quaint unfamiliarity; though, maybe that's meant to be part of her sounding cold, distant and scientific in general

- Spoiler:
-they copy families specifically on-purpose
-You can only be doubled by one shadow forever, and old guy's already immune, useful. And Alan too now.
-getting all flustered at getting to shake his idol's hand
-going along with them to kill Shiori's shadow so he knows what went wrong if they fail, he's an unusually smart protagonist without being a ridiculous genius, it's refreshing and makes the situation feel like a real threat, whereas if he made too many dumb mistakes it reduces the horror because it's easy to imagine doing better than him, or if he's too brilliant, it reduces the tension because it makes it obvious they'll just write him to outthink it in the end so it kills suspension of disbelief. I keep noticing things this show does well, and I'm really enjoying how skilled it is, on top of enjoying the effects of the skill, ie the show.
-fuck, now Shinpei knows her real name. Also, she and her brother both occupy her brain and take turns, seems like she's got the same thing as Shinpei but more control/awareness. Except Shinpei's seems to be himself, unless he'd had a twin that got erased somehow. I wonder if he could have super-strength too, if he knew how to let his inner double have the reins.
-This doesn't tell us a lot about Shiori, she just seems tougher than other Shadows.
-stabbed HERSELF to get the shadow on her! FUCK YEAH
-taking her family and leaving, that makes it sound like the Shadows aren't the cause of "the end," wonder if Mother's totally separate from the Shadows
-offering being a shadow as a way for the person to still be alive, that's gonna come back later to punch us in the gut with Ushio
-wait, didn't they say last episode her sister was killed by the Shadow? Could she be working with her sister's shadow?? Whoops, went back and checked and it was just the brother killed, I dunno why I thought it had been the sister in the last episode.
-punching her brother in the fucking face that's her own fucking face
-FUCK! They totally got me with that fakeout!
-all those bandaids on her fingers, it's weirdly unsettling
-here comes Ushio for philosophical heartbreak time
I kind of wonder if the melty shadow in the wheelchair couldn't be either Ryuunosuke's shadow half-remaining and not functioning right because Hizuru got the memories/self that the shadow was supposed to get, or vice versa, that because the shadow didn't work right Hizuru got the memories/self instead of the shadow. Or the same with however Shinpei's doubled.
Also, actually, if the internal doubling is shadow-based, and it seems pretty fucking likely that it is in some way, if not a way we can figure out now, that'd mean Shinpei's internal double couldn't be him, since we've seen he has a normal Shadow as well, which I guess would mean he had to have had a twin that died or something?

- Spoiler:
- Her younger brother, eh?
- The spooky Shadow mom walking down the stairs
- Ah, multiple personalities.
- Ohoooo, so the key is killing the shadow and then you're immune
- She doesn't have immunity, so perhaps her being part shadow is still in play
- Just fucking knocks her head off with a sledgehammer
- Shiori eats damage but doesn't die when the shadow is smashed
- YO, stabbed herself to stab the shadow that was on her
- Nail guns, eh?
- Oh shit, the nails actually pin it to the ground
- DAMN, Ryuunosuke actually wiped her out (second before she might've talked about something that maybe had something to do with their secret?)
- "My sister is probably being bashful" and punches her/himself in the face
- WHOA, Shadow Mio already struck
- "Onions" Get the fuck out
- FUCKING OOPS, USHIO SHOWED UP
I also wonder if the reason Ushio's shadow is acting so human-like is because of something similar to whatever's affecting Ryuunosuke/Hizuru and maybe Shimpei. Like a shadow can become a human and a human can become a shadow without totally sacrificing the other. Ryuunosuke did sledgehammer Shiori quite suddenly after she noticed Shimpei's blue eye and started talking about him becoming a shadow too, though the "become my big brother" thing might've just been an anger trigger too.

- Spoiler:
- Yeah, I definitely think Ushio's shadow is related to the other two and whatever they've got going on double-wise, it'd be too many weirdnesses around doubles that don't act like shadows to not be connected.
Also, unrelatedly, I don't think this'll actually happen but they've given us a visual cue to tell between Hizuru and Ryuunosuke now, the same way they gave us a visual cue to watch for with Shadows, they've kind of set it up now for one of the two to turn evil or something similar where things read totally differently depending on which one it is. I wish there was a term for things like predictions/theories, but that you don't actually think will happen, just that it would be cool.

Summertime Render E8
- Spoiler:
- Shadow Ushio can see the future too? Or she just knows the plan?
- Hey, she's got blue eyes that are the same colour as Shimpei's shadow eye, oh shit
- So does Mio actually. Blue eyes everywhere disguising where the second eye could be
- Curry rhythm
- Keeping a knife with him just in case
- She acts so adorably when he pokes her shadow, and he's thinking of knifing it right there, god damn
- It's like they've flipped the script, so instead of the waiting for the creepy monster to kill someone in a horrifying way, we're waiting for the good guy to kill a maybe-creepy-monster-but-not-demonstrably-a-creepy-monster in a horrifying way
- Culinary school, that's why they love his cooking so much
- Couldn't do it even after Ryuunosuke told him not to fall for their words
- "Can ya copy humans?" She just tries to shoot magic out randomly
- Fucking knocks him out after she derped her own clothes away
- Smacks her head on the ground trying to turn into a shadow. Ushio's such an idiot that she turned her own shadow into one, and that's my headcanon
- Hmmm, so there's also legends of doubles coming back as "protective deities"
- WHOOPS SHADOW MIO
- FUCK, THAT ARM CUT
- (How is no one in the house hearing this screamy death battle going on?)
- Mio shadow is crazy angry that Shadow Ushio is acting like real Ushio
- HEADSHOT THROUGH THE WINDOW
- Holy fuck, Ryuunosuke almost sledgehammered Shimpei in the head
- Risking his loop for Ushio
- Ohohohooooo, Hizuru was summoned to the island by a mysterious Ushio phone call
- Hmmm, so they won't kill Ushio, but they're gonna stop working together just in case whatever it is that's preventing Ushio from shadow-ing out gets fixed
- Ushio god dammit

E8
E9
- Spoiler:
-Shadow-Ushio is repeating as well?! Maybe something about his connection with Ushio
-frantically cooking while Ushio hides from Mio behind the counter
-Ushio chanting for curry
-oh, he left to avoid step-sibling porn scenarios, I'd been wondering if it was a plot-related reason to do with his parents' death or something
-he never made curry for her again before she died
-ohshit, it's coming in through the vents
-her form disrupts when she notices it's strange she's still in her swimsuit
-and then she's naked
-fuuuck, he's getting too confident about things happening the same, it's here, Shinpei, check Mio's shadow!!!
-they put the subtitle on the book upside-down because that's how he was reading it
-oh noo, Ushio!
-right, she's a shadow, stabbing her body doesn't kill her
-YES! THEY GOT IT!
-Fake Mio furious at shadow Ushio being Ushio, and then almost telling him she loves him too. This love triangle (with real Mio, not her shadow) pretty much dooms Shadow Ushio, there's no chance of her ending up just living happily as Ushio. Not that would have been very likely anyway, but I could have at least been more hopeful about it.
-holy shit, Ushio's been guiding Nagumo too. I'm thinking probably the original Ushio, since her speaking to Shinpei in the loops is probably connected with why she thinks Shinpei can save them and to why both Shadow Ushio and Shinpei are looping
-Ushio could get 'fixed' into being a proper evil Shadow at any time.
-She took his bed and didn't even give him a blanket, after his impassioned speech to save her?! That's pretty cold, maybe she is evil after all
-password of her phone's been changed. But she didn't remove fingerprint access, so it wasn't b/c she knew about Shadows and thought she'd been copied.
-DON'T STOP THERE, WHAT'S ON THE VIDEO??
E9
- Spoiler:
-HOLY SHIT! She knew about and was working with her Shadow?!?
-Shadow Ushio glitches again when real Ushio mentions Shiori
-so Ushio's shadow was broken right from the start
-the old clinic! This must be where the melty Shadow was!!
-what the FUCK does a shadow want with a crow??!
-it copied her even though she already has a Shadow
-in the memory, Shadow Ushio had shadow powers even though she was only just figuring out she was one.
-they die if they don't replace the original, so that means Shadow Ushio technically could survive, since she replaced the real one.
-"It don't matter, they're both me," and Shadow Ushio tearing up
-and her powers are back now
-the memory swimming through Shinpei again, but this time he doesn't turn to see where she's going, just keeps looking down where Ushio got dragged away
-WHAT THE FUCCK?? OH My fucking god, that Shiori face! I literally tried to jump back from my computer but I'm sitting on the couch so nothing happened
-omg, Shiori reaching out of the video, Shadows are just data so replaying data must be able to come to life, fuck fuck fuck
-it's Mother?
-she left a mark. Is that an M in the handprint?
Hey, the video didn't give any explanation for why the password was changed. I guess just because Mio or someone knows her usual password and they could get doubled at any time.

Another thought about 8 & 9
- Spoiler:
- If Shadow Ushio doesn't get re-formed when time loops, she's just going to keep losing more and more bits of her until she can't keep existing, because there's no original for her to copy anymore.

Heads-up, at around the 9 minute mark of E10, there's a paragraph of text that it doesn't translate (at least the translation I'm watching doesn't.) I've separated out a rough translation/notes from the rest of my reaction so you can look it up when you get there without having to get spoiled by the rest of my comments.
Summertime Render E10
- the text:
-The first word it zooms in on is Hiruko (with kana to tell you the reading), the characters are the same as for Ebisu, Hiruko's probably an earlier reading of the same word.
-But as far as I can tell, the last word it zooms in on, which the version I'm watching translates as Hiruko, isn't anything that's ever been used for that god and doesn't have any old readings that could read that way, and I can't find it in the dictionary or anywhere else (other than the name of some Chinese person who wrote a research paper), even dug out my old pre-modern dictionary, no dice. The characters mean "yellow" and "form," and in context it just seems to mean the form/shape/body of Hiruko, which makes sense with the second character but not the first.
-The paragraph:
-Also, one of the characters in Hiruko is the character for 'leech'In the Kojiki [which is the oldest literary work in Japan, a lot of things are based on or refer to it, a compilation of myths and semi-historical stories - so this is an existing myth, not something the show made up], it's the first god born from the creator gods Izanami and Izanagi. But because it came out wrong, they put it in a reed basket in the river to flow away to the sea. The line in the Kojiki gave rise to the interpretation that it had a deformed, armless and legless form like a leech.
Summertime Render E10
- Spoiler:
-Shadow Shiori can erase Shadow Ushio's memory/data, so there's probably a chance she could 'fix' Shadow Ushio and make her evil.
-is Tokiko in love with Mio too??? That'd be a little too complicated a love polygon!
-I also don't trust Tokiko at all, she's too much of a mystery
-Sou's outfit
-little Sou looking exactly like his dad
-wait, Totsumura's not Sou's dad? I guess he's a much older brother? Or some miscellaneous relative. And his dad is the guy that we saw with the melty shadow, I'm pretty sure.
-brrr, that statue! Mother?
-Ushio's incredibly useful now that she remembers things, I worry she's not gonna last long
-somehow, the giant baby shadow sucking its thumb is both creepy and sad
-hey, stepped-back self has different eye colours too, which means it's a recent version of him. Could mean it got refreshed when he got Mother's eye, or it could mean it's genuinely just his own self-image as a mental way of stepping outside of himself and not supernatural at all.
-Yup, it's from when his parents died. The way he's thinking about it is like it's just an emotional reaction, but that could be misdirection.
-Ushio giving Sou a pep talk with a kick
-oh shit, her damage to her arm returned, it must be a deeper corruption of her data or something
-shadow machines don't work unless they're replacing the original. But shadow people do, even if only temporarily, so it can't just be about complexity. What is it about being the only one that gives things the power to function but people only duration? All these rules are starting to feel a little fake, like you can see they're just making shit up to build the situation and limitations they need, so I hope they have a reason or logic for it and it's not just arbitrary. Up till this episode the mechanics have all felt solid.
-more baby shadows, this seems like Mother is actually birthing them. Do they just stay under here until they're grown up and can copy people??
-tbh, this baby fight is starting to feel a little silly, seems like the show is faltering a bit this episode

- Spoiler:
- Ushio and her own shadow hangin out
- Huh, I guess Shiori is beyond saving now too?
- Probably can't beat her up with the shower spray
- Whoa, the shadow copied Ushio even though she's already been copied
- Shadow Ushio with tears in her eyes while fighting the other Shadow Ushio because she just figured out she's not the human
- And human Ushio calms down Shadow Ushio immediately because she's like "Yeah, this is actually cool"
- Hm, so Shadow Ushio can't replace her lost limb at the moment because the data to copy real Ushio can no longer be gathered
- The imaging that Shinpei's been able to do, it is an actual power
- Fuckkk, Shiori would be beyond saving is the limit of Shinpei's time travel power is just that one day
- OOPS SHADOW SHIORI IS HANGING OUT WITH THEM TOO
- OOPS IT'S THE SHADOW MOTHER

- Spoiler:
- Tokiko with the evil shifty fox eye design and the blush when she grabs Mio's hand
- My man brought his catcher equipment to whoop some ass with
- Ohoooo, the dad might be sinister (especially with that maybe-villainous voice)
- Battle swimsuit
- Thatttt's a freaky carving
- Hiruko?
- Uh oh, a secret room
- Must be part of a freaky cult
- They hid the key in the freaky statue's pregnant stomach, how very video-gamey
- Oops, the Shadow's secret base
- I like how there's always some kind of plausible explanation for why they have weird spooky horror shit lying around. Like we have scary tunnels underneath the very-old abandoned clinic, but it's because of WWII, so yeah, they would plausibly build them
- Discarded bullet shells next to the human shadow
- That is some freaky bullshit
- Nonresponsive
- Come on, let's not do freaky baby stuff please
- Welp, Ushio's data can be permanently damaged
- Shapes are okay for Shadows, but the original needs to be destroyed to function, even for inanimate objects
- But on the flip side she can also just recreate a copy if it runs out of whatever
That's cool as fuck that the freaky statue it's based on real myths

Summertime Render E11
- Spoiler:
-Sou fucking badass with a flamethrower
-Tokiko not picking up either is suspicious as hell
-Shiori showing Mio where Shinpei is, that doesn't seem good. Though, isn't Shiori's shadow supposed to be destroyed?
-Mio convincing Tetsumura he'll look like a cool hero
-and he's already climbing down
-cavern full of coral that's really shadows is cool as fuck
-Ushio's strength fading because she can't fix the arm
-FUCKING TOKIKO I KNEW IT
-copies them and yuck?? why yuck?? They've both been copied before without anyone finding them gross
-"the one who mistook Onee-chan's G-cups for H-cups"
-SHE'S HUMAN AND WORKING WITH THE SHADOWS WHAT HTE FUCK
-the doctor feeding the detective's corpse to shadows, guess it's a family business and he and melty shadow aren't going to team-up with Shinpei after all. In the episode where everyone died and the corpse pile shadow happened, I'm pretty sure Tokiko did say something about it not being what she'd intended, so maybe they think they've been keeping the Shadows in check by feeding them but they're wrong.
-"where's the body that stole Mother's right eye?" So Ryuunosuke's body still exists somewhere and has Mother's other eye
-Hold on, wait, no, isn't it the right eye that Shinpei has???? the right's the bright blue eye, and I thought that was the weird one. DOes that fucking mean he's Ryuunosuke's body?? In that case the stepped back self could be some remnant of Ryuunosuke's personality, but then who is the rest of him?? And also if he and Ryuunosuke were using the same eye, why would they have different powers? Maybe I'm wrong and Shinpei has the left eye? Also Shinpei's had the stepped-back self since his parents died, which could have been around the same time as Ryuunosuke died(ish), but he said that the eye was new when he arrived back at the island, so it doesn't make sense that the eye could be Ryuunosuke's unless something further happened.
-And Shiori can read (and therefore presumably double) Ryuunosuke too, even though he doesn't have a body. And Ryuunosuke sees the future even though he doesn't have his body which has the eye. So there must be some kind of link between the spirit and the body that can't be broken even if they're separate. I wonder if Shiori would recreate Ryuunosuke's absent body if she copied him, or if she'd just copy Hizuru's body regardless of whether she copied Hizuru or Ryuunosuke's personality (or maybe could copy both within Hizuru's body like the real one)
-Nezu
-And Nagumo
-"Not like I could tell anyone," why not?
-she doesn't want Mio to know
-Mother casting a giant shadow upwards. And she's only missing one eye. So Shinpei = Ryuunosuke's body confirmed??

E12
- Spoiler:
-million-armed shadow that also looks like coral, this is both incredibly creepy and cool as hell
-oh god, Ushio's corpse, even though we've seen them actually killing Ushio, this somehow seems almost more awful. And her bones just shadows.
-Sou and Tokiko screaming at each other like a normal, semi-comedy sibling fight, seconds after she admitted she was complicit in murdering their dear friend and said their friend totally deserved it, gave me a dark laugh here
-melty shadow is their mom?! And she dies if Haine does. Not a good sign for Shadow Ushio's survival.
-YES! PRINTED NAIL GUN!!!
-Ushio getting mad at Haine on behalf of Tokiko is weird after the degree to which Tokiko has betrayed them, but I do buy it for Ushio's personality
-oh god, his fingers got cut off along with the front of the nail gun
-4-arms scolding Haine? Is she his underling? He is the one was going to shut off the looping, so he has more power than her in some ways.
-Sou taking a bullet for Tokiko after everything, self-sacrifice is starting to seem like kind of his thing.
-Ryuunosuke dies but Hizuru's still alive? So she's sort of functionally got two lives (to a point, it's not like she walked away unscathed either).
-FUCK! HIS EYE! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
-His eye fucking GLITCHED BACK!?. "Cause and effect creates the ring," so because he has to have the eye for this loop where she takes it from him to exist, he can't not have it because then her taking it from him wouldn't exist? And the eye looks from a higher dimension and sees all the parallel worlds that could exist. Love this shit.
-He's RENDERING this world?!? Is it really just the eye that lets him do this, Hizuru herself doesn't seem to have powers that massive, so why can her eye? Just because she's weakened? Which we don't really know why, or how she lost the eye, for that matter, though I assume Ryuunosuke
-Four-arms knows not to let him die, but doesn't cut the power to the loop ability this time. Maybe it was only possible when they had gathered so much power from killing the whole town?
-Mio positioned so you can't see her head crushed to nothing, but that growing pool of blood coming from it
-HIZURU! YES! Totsumura really did land up being a hero!
-HE BROUGHT POISON! SHINPEI YOU"RE A FUCKING GENIUS!!! Also, poison that they introduced casually in another episode, this show is really good at its job.
-And Ushio's reversing the reprogramming right back on Haine! Yes! Way to go!!
-"the egg"?
-resetting together, holding hands
-this loop restart point is pretty late, at this rate they're not going to have many more loops before there get to be more people they can't save.
-Ushio just forms right there with him and he's like "yes, I'm a time traveller." Feels like their team has levelled up massively.
Next week's title, "Friend" is written in katakana, which is not normal (unless it's an English word, but it isn't) and not just how they've written all the title previews. Not quite sure what to make of it, it can be used for emphasis, but that doesn't seem to fit here, so I wonder if it isn't being used like scare quotes, to indicate that it's ironic or just the title of someone but that someone isn't actually a friend, something like that.

You're getting pretty behind, should I stop and we can pick it up some other time, or keep going?
Summertime Render 13
I'm not sure if you're watching the same version as I am, but if so, there's an important subtitle error at about one minute in, the subtitles say "left" but the original says "right."

- Spoiler:
-Ushio hugging Nagumo even though she barely knows her even in the loop where they'd already met, she's such an all-in personality. She's a really good character, they've managed to make her feel genuine and extremely likeable, enough to really live up to the other characters' feelings about her after her death, even though she's in a role that would lend itself to having her be sort of a generic ideal, a really stock tsundere/wistful waif or something like that.
-The eye is shadow-printed, but also fundamental to Haine, some sort of primordial shadow essence that's more than just the normal shadow-copying I guess
-He thinks the eye was after he came back to the island, but we saw it on the boat before reaching the island when Ushio appeared to him 1st episode, which I assume is where she would have given it to him. I guess that's close enough for him to describe as after and it's probably not a hint that there was a whole loop prior to that?
-Shadow Ushio gave him the eye, but it was also supposedly stolen by Ryuunosuke's body, so she must have gotten it from him even though there's been no sign so far she knows Nagumo. Either that or she's actually meant to be a copy of Ryuunosuke, but didn't properly get the data, that seems too awkward, though.
-what the hell was that??
-that shot of Nagumo looking at Ushio where we can see a second image of Ushio in her glasses
-Ushio can erase Shiori?? Damn, she's gotten powerful!
-new opening is more action-y, less mysterious, feels like the whole situation has shifted
-Sou having to basically make an appointment to get five minutes with his dad, what a shithead (which, I suppose the whole 'feeding people to the Shadows' thing should be enough to establish that. <_<)
-Haine is her friend?!??
-Ushio sparkling at being called Pretty Cure. I love her <3
-her storage can get full, and it seems like the limit is pretty low
-SHIT! Timeline changed!
-oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck, Haine can follow him and loop too, that basically means knowledge from past loops is a threat instead of a benefit
-Four-arms doesn't have data; a shadow of nothing - that's a cool concept. Something to do with Ryuunosuke's body, maybe, since it doesn't have Ryuunosuke's data but apparently still exists.
-Nagumo's past! We're finally gonna find out what happened!
-Seeing his parents
-marine archaeologists, sounds like the sort of people who would go diving in mysterious caves and stumble on things they shouldn't
-oh god, Hizuru made friends with Haine and probably got Ryuunosuke killed from it

I'm probably not going to get to this episode this week, which will give you a little more time to catch up before I get ahead again

My "plan" at the moment is to platinum Horizon Forbidden West (about 70% through it) over the next few nights, then try to catch up on anime/wrestling until Xenoblade 3 comes out. Summertime Render will go first but I'll leave it up to you if you want to keep going with it or hang back and wait for me, since my "plans" seem to fall apart pretty easily

The plan as it is currently constructed is to watch one episode per day, maybe two, until I am caught up
Summertime Render E11

- Spoiler:
- Damn, shotgun shot inside an enclosed/echoey space, RIP old guy's hearing
- Shiori trying to lead Mio into a trap?
- Mio playing to Tetsu's ego
- "Follow my lead" he's already fucking down the manhole
- Not being able to decide if he loops because it might not heal Ushio's damage
- Whoops, they already hinted that Tokiko was a bad guy
- Damn, wifi that reaches underground
- A secret underground monster-cave, very Berserk
- Sewer metal not being tasty, who'da thought?
- I bet Tokiko is human
- TBH, that makes Tokiko barely a threat, because either of the guys could literally just body slam her on a rock and she's done
- "You can't kill a human" Flimsy excuse to write themselves out of the corner of "maybe let's not show teenage girls getting body slammed by guys"
- I thought that was "Negro-kun" for a second
- "We can't win" Dunno, couldn't they have just fired the nail gun at the shadows and then body-slammed the teenage girl?
- Like seriously, if my little sister was like "You can't hurt me neener neener!" I'd be like "OH YEAH?" but then she's like 5'11" and a kickboxer so I'd be dead in three seconds but if she was a generic teenage girl like Tokiko, body-slam city
- "You're gonna miss" DAMN
- I'm pretty sure Mio and everyone else would've heard the shotgun blasts echoing through the sewers
- Haine, eh?
- OOOO, Shiori can read Ryuunosuke's premonitions
- AGH OLD MAN
- "He'll die eventually if we leave him alone" Silly bad guy, that trick never goes well
- Welp, total defeat again

Holy FUCK
- Spoiler:
- OOPS Hiruko is Shiori
- So dead people don't get cremated, meaning Ushio's body will still exist in the past, meaning... they'll have to steal her body from the funeral to fix Shadow Ushio?
- Welp, I would've body slammed Tokiko into the afterlife and then she would've powered up Haine/Hiruko, so maybe they did the right thing last episode <_<
- Ahaaaaa, Ushio's body still exists so the next time they loop, it can be taken back
- Wowwww, what the fuck, Haine turning their mom into a shadow means that their mom did in fact already die
- Damn, and the fireback that they treat Ushio the same as they do the real Ushio
- Oh dear, the nurse's monster-naughty-bits just popped out
- OH FUCK HIS FINGERS
- "Wow" after onii-chan eats a bullet for Tokiko
- "The H-Cup that was at Ushio's funeral"
- AGH IT TOOK BACK THE EYE IN A GROSS WAY
- Oh shit, the eye went back to Shimpei
- So the eye can't be taken back because it creates some kind of time paradox?
- Oh fuck, he's observing alternate timelines and can in turn make them real
- RENDERING his world
- Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, the bad guys figured out they just have to let him live to win
- MIO FUCK
- Ushio must have the other eye because she shows up as an observer when he's rendering worlds too
- Hiruko, you gotta shoot Shinpei
- OH FUCK IT PROTECTED HIM
- What did he fucking drink?
- Casually talking about how your friend is going to kill himself
- Haine's voice actress is Momo from March Lion
- Wow, Haine called Ushio the "egg" in the chicken and egg analogy and even suggested killing herself to prevent whatever was happening o.o
- Fuuuuck, he's looped pretty far forward from where he was, now
- "We've just returned from the future" GOD DAMN
Holy FUCK

Right??
- Spoiler:
- bomaye wrote:- Ushio must have the other eye because she shows up as an observer when he's rendering worlds too
I think at this point, there's got to be only one eye, the one that Shinpei has, because at the end of E11, Hiruko/Haine's shown clearly only missing the one. Unless it has a duplicate. Or two duplicates, since Ryuunosuke's future-seeing power presumably also has to be in some way connected to the eye. Some kind of shenanigans, at any rate, but not the other eye.bomaye wrote:Haine's voice actress is Momo from March Lion
This is not okay!!!

- Spoiler:
- Oh damn, Ushio memory-transferring so even Nezu will have to agree to coming along this time
- Ayyyy, Shiori is the tip of the iceberg
- Hmmm, Ushio's hand just looked like when Haine tried to reprogram her, did she take some of that power or remember how to use some of that power?
- Shadow Mom berating Human Pops
- Ushio's dream of being Pretty Cure has come true
- (I vaguely know what Pretty Cure is because the One Piece mangaka considers it his "real" rival because his daughter likes it more than One Piece)
- Ushio can take data with her into future loops
- This set-up feels like they're going to find out that Haine retains memories from loops too
- Annnnd Ryuunosuke just flew out the window instead, so it's probably true
- OOPS FOUR ARM IS THERE
- RIGHT THROUGH NEZU'S EYE FUCK
- God damn, Ushio without any hesitation killed Shimpei to loop quick
- Huh, I was having the same "Wait, when did this happen?" thought to the latest restart point
- WHOA THAT'S CHILD HIZURU AND RYUUNOSUKE
- Oh shit, Akemi/his mom
- D'awww, his dad
- Oh, so we're gonna hang out with Haine now

Passed you
- Spoiler:
- "I'm fine with just you, Hizuru" Maybe Haine killed Ryuunosuke out of possessive jealousy?
- I think I miss the old outro more than the old intro, it was just creepy enough that it fit
- Shide, an incarnation of Greed, which is why he has four arms
- Ah, Haine's starving from not eating humans, so probably just killed Ryuunosuke for a snack
- "Touch my shadow too" Whoa
- Eyyy, Hunter-kun
- DAMN, Hizuru heard Shimpei
- Aw, Haine
- The eye made a run for it?
- So just paused and spitballing here: The eye is the part of Haine that felt massive guilt and since it has time travel powers, perhaps it is also trying to rewind time to create the outcome where this doesn't happen?
- Ah, and this is where Nezu and Hizuru get their shadow immunity from too
- So Ryuunosuke's data "bounced" into Hizuru somehow, which is how he died in that other timeline I take it? His data just ran out?
- So now they've figured out that the time he can observe shrinks each time he dies, meaning they are going to kill him on sight every single time now. His ability seemed overpowered at first but they kept chipping away it until it's a double-edged sword at best
- Nice time-saver, Ushio can just mind-fuck everyone so they know what's going on immediately.
- So theoretically, the next major setback the group can suffer is Ushio not making it through a loop somehow
- D'awww Mio ;_;
- Shimpei having a moment where the ground is collapsing behind him after Alan doesn't pick up the phone
- Oh, I didn't notice, Tokiko is part of the gang too
- FUCK, Nezu
- Shimpei's lights just go out because he ate the rifle bullet after the speech. Now he has to deal with suddenly dying and not knowing why, making it harder to plan his steps out
Passed you
