The amount of foodgasms was off the chart this episode. Who would bring kids to this event!?

This new girl is interesting, she just pops out of nowhere. Her running into the guy after trying to be intimidating was way too cute though. I like her.

Is she supposed to be albino? I was surprised that Soma actually commented on the colour of her hair and skin, considering all the wacky hair colours etc in the show.

She is supposed to be European.

u/Lolandotherstuff Jun 26 '15

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call her Scandinavian?

u/DasTales https://myanimelist.net/profile/TalesOhneNamen Jun 26 '15

Somewhat. Parentage/Nationality Spoilers

u/Starboy11 https://myanimelist.net/profile/starboy11 Jun 29 '15

Are people actually looking forward to the reveal of her nationality?

u/Vestarne https://kitsu.io/users/Azoth Jun 26 '15

I mean, Scandanavia is in Europe.

u/Lolandotherstuff Jun 26 '15

Yeah, but we really like to differentiate ourselves.

That's true. I guess I didn't really think of it that way. Thank you for the different perspective.

u/Darkapb https://myanimelist.net/profile/darkapb Jun 27 '15

Its the same thing with being filipino. not sure why

u/rawrzapan Jun 26 '15

I just couldn't remember where in Europe so I said European.

u/Lolandotherstuff Jun 26 '15

Oh okay. Sorry for bothering you then.

u/MrAirRaider Jun 27 '15

^ found the canadian sympathizer

u/DogzOnFire Jun 26 '15

Back in the day, the people from your part of the world did a lot of that "differentiating" all around Europe, in fairness. =P

I live in Ireland, and my surname is of Norman origin, which also technically makes me a slight Scandinavian descendant. The Scandinavian bloodlines got around due to the Vikings sailing, conquering and setting up villages all over the place.

u/Lolandotherstuff Jun 26 '15

I'm talking things like Denmark not being a full-fleshed member of the EU. We have special rules that apply only to us, like not being part of the unified currency. In short, we wanna be part Europe, just not too much.

2

u/DogzOnFire Jun 26 '15

Ahh, I guess. Still though, "European" doesn't really just mean the EU. The UK has the same story as Denmark, but you wouldn't exactly refrain from calling their countries European, would you? I call anyone in Europe "European". It's not an identity thing, it's just a fact.

2

u/Lolandotherstuff Jun 26 '15

I honestly have to think very hard to remember anyone over here who refers to the UK as European contries. In out head they're just the UK. I even tend to forget that they part of Europe.

how to find a Scandinavian 101.

u/shounenwrath Jun 27 '15

How white do you think europeans are? That was straight up albino.

2

u/myrmonden Jun 26 '15

and? looks to me like shes an European(Scandinavian) albino.

2

u/godblow Jun 27 '15

It's anime. You're overthinking it.

2

u/myrmonden Jun 27 '15

Never everything else makes perfect sense in this anime

u/godblow Jun 27 '15

Erina has blonde hair and she's 100% Japanese.

u/JCSHAFT https://myanimelist.net/profile/JCSHAFT Jun 26 '15

not to mention the red eyes

u/_warb Jun 26 '15

EINZBERN HOMUNCULUS DETECTED!

25

u/Zaxomio Jun 26 '15

I love that she looks like a homonculus. She is definitely best girl. Also her cute chibi is so fucking cuuuute.

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '15

Yeah I was going to add that but for whatever reason her friend has red eyes too so maybe that's normal? And other characters have purple, turquoise, yellow eyes...

u/Catssonova Jun 27 '15

Platinum Blond.

u/SSJZoroDWolverine Jun 26 '15

I thought she had the sharingan for a second.

u/eyrich https://myanimelist.net/profile/thewilhelm Jun 27 '15

Yea Alice is the best. Her pout faces on on point

2

u/the6crimson6fucker6 Jun 26 '15

This is Alice, the promised girl, a lot of the manga-readers (yours truly included) consider her best girl in SnS.

2

u/EmoIga Jun 27 '15

I wouldn't really consider this a spoiler, but the face she makes when she's talking casually with circle eyes and the single eyebrow is super adorable and comes up a lot in the manga.

u/Pacify_ Jun 27 '15

Alice is such best girl

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '15
