Chapter 6: Ruin explorer
Tiara and friends arrive in the forest and immediately start looking. Emilia takes Alpha to the haunted house, they enter, but Emilia is too scared. Tiara arrives too but only comes in with Chanpe, but there seems to be no escape for Ashley and Lavie. Lynette will rest the entire chapter. Paranormal things happen around the house, so much so that Emilia passes out when she sees Tiara’s head. Now Alpha will take care of it and get to the point. In this way they get to know Garnet, who is friends with Emilia through Alphas Tramp and who is his new member IVKLORE.
Chapter Opinion
The compliments will go on to the end because I loved today’s chapter very much. Is there going to be some kind of criticism here? The anime that I’ve already accepted, I love it because it doesn’t seem like a prototypical anime of this genre that I’ve at least seen. And just getting out of this form does what some expect, namely Idols and songs, it is not so present, in fact it even seems that the songs are violently kicked in to serve the musical purpose. Not everyone will always be satisfied, I like that it is done the way they do, only that I also have a great curiosity: how will it be armed? Ligths? because a reason has to come out and I feel like the anime might take a downturn in this case, I just hope I’m wrong.
Questions that may have answers
We started well, they show us a little scene that has to do with the last chapter of how Lavie got the card. This leaves many moments: Why…? The first: why wasn’t the director in her office? Why was the card visible to all, shouldn’t it be just for the elect? Finally: Why is Lavie leaving with her eyes closed? This is important because he meets someone, who is he? Has he done something to the director? All of this has nothing to do with what happens during the chapter, but I don’t think that’s how they put it.
The arrival
Tiara and Company come to the area and quickly meet up with the others and help with the search. We see what the different girls do to look for Maryberry and give us data such as that her scent has been lost. From what we can highlight in terms of that Idolsis that Ratura’s group is called Sugar bag, but it’s just her and Champe, they want to unite Marybarry, but her shyness won’t let her. After all, it seems natural to me how they behave, some might say: They are too happy to take them seriously. What happens is that every person has their own way of dealing with problems and how everyone sees it seems to me to be according to their personality.
Not normal activity
Emilia shows Alpha the house, they enter and notice that something is wrong, but Alpha doesn’t flinch. Then Tiara and Chanpe step in who are very good firebenders and they find more terrible things.
Dolls on the ceilings, arms sticking out of the walls, baby doll noises and a frightened Emilia are perfect broth for an unusual activity. The K.O. Emilia arrives when Tiara pokes her head out of a hole. At that moment she felt the real horror and passed out. Alpha takes control of things, she pierces the walls with her magical hair, reaches the room, grabs the doll and threatens it. When we see the sweat on our wrists, we realize that she is the culprit. After several threats, garnet appears on the scene (new waifu).
It lives
The doll is called Marianne, she came to life without knowing how, she just knows that she had it and that one day after she was loved she was abandoned. That looks like a Is that really the explanation?but it makes sense in your world. Remember that feelings create magic or some important type of energy. That’s why there are orchestras. Emotions, love, are necessary things in this world because they generate power, a power that Marianne may have brought to life.
Garnet is a magician who has died but does not accept her death, thinking that she uses magic to walk through walls but has no magical eyes that break the logic of the anime. She is just that, a girl who does not accept her death and only seeks friendships because she feels kind of lonely. You can hide something tragic behind your happiness.
Eventually Marybarry was fine.
Demihumans
After an extensive search: it seems that the term demihuman does not exist, at least not as something accepted and with a definition we can understand we would have to go to the roots of the Latin language, but that can be understood as semi-human. What we can understand, however, is that the demihumans in this anime are things that were not born human, but became human, or that are close to humanity without being. That’s why Alpha behaves like this, it’s a doll that has been brought to life. Salsa is also a half-human, a cat that has become human? Marianne and Garnet also fall into this category. Very interesting breakup they make.
Not ghostly songs
After Emilia and Garnet become friends, Emilia’s group joins them. After seeing her perform at the camp, she fully complements the group and takes part in the song. The name of the song Midnight sapphire the demihumonic band IVKLORE. The theme is fast jazz, which I prefer to call explosive jazz whose melodies we heard even though we didn’t realize them, as in the anime Baccano (and its intro) Pistols roses) and other mafia-themed animes associated with the 50s, 60s, 70s, and even 80s. Good song but I still prefer the sisters.
An excellent chapter
As I said, I am amazed. Something comes out of the expected shapes and manages to provide more entertainment. The chapter begins mysteriously, then the entire first half is horror with a touch of humor. Unlike other anime by IdolsThis terror can feel more real because it’s a magical world. In other animes, even at school, we are led to accept that what the protagonists are living is lies. You sense the atmosphere of terror and you manage to invade you, especially with tiara and chanpe. The touch is given by Lavie and Ashley who make us believe the camp is gone.
The scene of these friends is precise because the tension builds to end on a joke, really good, they got lost, they fulfilled their functions in both moments. The personalities are so good that Emilias is fun without being forced, and Alphas is good and not boring. Also, that somehow they don’t break the rules of their own world. Everything is connected in some way, that is, if something happens in this chapter, we have been told that it could happen in previous chapters (like the tiara and plants). Good animation, entertaining chapters, interesting and good characters, entertaining songs, I hope I don’t dream.
I don’t think it’s a perfect anime, but what it does makes it good. I just hope my fears will come true, there is still material to enjoy and it seems that in the next chapter we will see Maryberry sing and have more of yarn.
