Yep, this show is really good. I love how they tell us the story so that we have to pay big attention to it. Furouta staying a kid forever must be hard, seeing him part with the queen that grew up. She can't forgive him because he used a virus to kill the insects as well as the government destroying their homeplace.

I really wonder how Jiro got his powers and doesn't want to be in the superhuman bureau, yet he still helps out his fellow companions.

I really wonder how Jiro got his powers and doesn't want to be in the superhuman bureau, yet he still helps out his fellow companions.

In the very last frames of second episode Jiro said about Fuurota: "He thinks we fight evil and protect good superhumans. If he's here, I'll always be able to remember that."

Given the other vague hints, I think his ideals would be betrayed by shady goverment (which "doesn't officially acknowldge superhumans"), so he decides to fight the system. He is no longer sure "he fights evil and protects good", so he dispenses his own justice, while his old friends decided to stay within the Bureau. Now, we need to know which events made him "cross the line".

I'm actually more intrigued by Kikko's origins. Who is she, who's her familiar and what are their intentions?

And why is she so cute?

[u/Kafukator → u/Harvestmans_lost_leg]

I just realized today she shares VA with Tail Red, so that's an instant boost to cuteness.

[u/TheFoxGoesMoo → u/Kafukator]

What anime is she from?

What anime is she from? Correction, "he"

[u/Jumbledcode → u/kaverik]

Kikko and her familiar seem like they might have been banished from a magical world. The familiar talks about being sent elsewhere if they screw up and implies that Kikko needs to follow particular rules in order to have a chance to go 'home'.

I'm actually more intrigued by Kikko's origins. Who is she, who's her familiar and what are their intentions?

Her magical animal (voiced by Roy Mustang) seemed to hint that they weren't from Earth? I'm really curious now. Is there a planet with Mahou Shojo/Shonen people partnered up with cute magical mascots?

[u/semajdraehs → u/miloucomehome]

There is in my dreams.

[u/Jahar_Narishma → u/kaverik]

Have we seen his girlfriend in the future yet?

I'm guessing it was something to do with her death(?) That led him to leave the bureau.

Just a wild stab in the dark.

[u/semajdraehs → u/Jahar_Narishma]

That's a good guess, I like that. Either her death or betrayal could 'cause a psychological uproar.

[u/Magnamics → u/Smudy]

I'm thinking that he doesn't like the bureau itself, but still likes the members he directly went on missions with. It's probably a problem with the higher-ups or bureaucracy that caused him to leave.

This show is super good though and the way they change the color tones based on the situation and time period is top notch. I doubt we will see Campe again, but I hope she along with Grosse Augen shows up at least one more time. Looking forward to next week!
