This week Subes continues to swirl the bottom of the bowl in episode 14 "The Sickness Called Despair." Also, Ambrose knows how to break the ice, Crusch has a drink with Subes, offers him some solid advice, and we determine that form + function = hat.  

This week Ambrose and I watch episode 13 "Self-Proclaimed Knight Natsuki Subaru" and....it's bad. Subaru invokes that feeling when you want to unzip your skin, crawl away, and die alone.  It’s legitimately painful to watch.  Also, we meet the candidates for the throne, we learn about their political plans for the country, we discuss the importance of context, and Subes straight up gets a whoopin'.

Just when I think we have met the most absurd characters of the series, I got bamboozled by more ridiculous personalities and general awkwardness.  In this episode, Ambrose and I watch episode 12 "Return to the Capital." I discover that dragons (dinosaurs) are a common thing in this world, we are introduced to several new characters, many of whom are awful, Adam is still an S.O.B., and Subes needs to dial it way back or he is heading to HR.  

This week Ambrose and I get a glimpse into the past of our favorite demon maids, a sentence I never thought I'd write, with episode 11 "Rem."  We also discuss one of Ambrose's last pieces of Greed art, we throw our non-financial support behind PBS, Subes creeps, and I speak directly to Japanese companies.  

This week, Ambrose and I watch along episode 10, that's right episode 10 "Fanatical Methods Like a Demon."  We have somehow been watching this show for 10 weeks.  At this point we are discussing breathing in your own spit, more of my various beefs with real/fake people, and Rem learns the value of teamwork.  Stick around after the credits for some supplemental action.  Mmmm, I love me some supplemental.  

This week Ambrose and I watch episode 9, "The Meaning of Courage." Ambrose also shares with us her recent visit to the gym, we discuss horses, and the clear fact that children don't deserve victory.  Also, I notice something and feel creepy.  

Post-holidays, Ambrose and I catch up without guy, Subes.  Ambrose tells the tale of her messing with a scammer and a thief, I learn that by season's end I will be even more enraged, and I learn more about Ambrose's eating habits. 

This week, Ambrose and I watch episode 7, Natsuki Subaru's Restart, and let me tell you,  Sube's is starting to get deep into it.  Within minutes of each other, he realizes he cares too much and and has nothing to live for, leading to a very obvious death #7.  While this is happening Roswell continues to be a clown and Ambrose and I have a duel of names.  It's a hodgepodge of an episode.

To kickoff the holiday season, Ambrose tries something new live on recording for our enjoyment. Ambrose and I also watch RE:ZERO episode 6 The Sound of Chains.  We discuss the British perspective of Thanksgiving, Ambrose wanting to like tea, and I learn a few Japanese phrases.  Oh, and apparently curses are different from magic for some reason.  I disagree.  

Something is a miss here at FMF, because we aren't watching anime this week.  We are watching Steven Universe: The Movie.  With this being my introduction to this universe, I have questions for Ambrose, like what is this, what is happening, and huh?  We also discuss how Spinel was used and discarded by Steven and his mom, how scythes are terrible weapons, and the rampant bias in this movie.
