'She' looks like KOS-MOS to me. Don't you agree?
I guess the series has getting more serious now. First there’s this unidentified girl got washed up on shore (she later identified as Kaguya or something), then a possible pirate threat lead to the issuance of a blackout order and now the entire town is under high alert. Other issues being the bakery furnace crumbled as a result from the damage caused by the storm earlier, and Hank the dwarf, the only available person capable of fixing it refused to accept the repair request without advance payment.
The first half time was fine with the usual happy-fun day to day life but starting from the second half the episode began to feel like wasting too much time unnecessarily. The scenes always involved slow-mo camera movement (not sure if that’s the correct way to explain what happened here) but for better understanding you should see for yourself. I think they should have used that time for explaining more things about Kaguya or Rick’s background instead of dumping it in the future episodes.
Rick has a feeling that he had met Kaguya before but he still can’t remember the time before he arrived at the town (or was it an island?). However his body seemed to remember being an expert swordsman that he by reflex grabbed a sword to defend Kaguya from the town guard who was trying to kill her. The guard felt that he had to do it in order to stop Kaguya’s pendant from shining as the town safety takes the highest priority at that time.
I’m actually kinda interested with the andro-mechanical ‘thing’ that resembles KOS-MOS at Hank’s place whose presence is still unknown to Rick and the others (from the next week’s episode review she seems to be some sort of “mechanical doll” which means a ‘robot’ just like KOS-MOS?). Not sure how Hank got ‘it’ there but I’m kinda disturbed by the way he treating her (maybe because she ran out of control back then). ‘She’ seemed to have some sort of connection with Kaguya though so that means Rick must know ‘her’ too.
Oh I did mention about Kaguya’s pendant shining so bright and how she seemed to have some connection with that “thing” at Hank’s place (and the other “thing” hidden somewhere in the sea). Thanks to that ‘thing’ that resembles KOS-MOS (who was also ‘shining’ at the same time), she shot some sort of beam attack at the sea, effectively wiping off the entire pirate ships. Not sure if ‘she’ is on the good side or not but if not because she was there the town might have been plundered by those pirates.
To end this I think it wouldn’t be too OOT to explain why I always have the things for KOS-MOS. Just like how you people have the hots for 2D fictional characters, I feel the same towards KOS-MOS too. That being 2D (not human) plus the fact that she is not human even in that 2D world adds more excitement to me.
