They gave an ethics class to like, first years, which I find somewhat strange. Brb dinnerPermalink On twitter.com

I'm sort of forming a thesis on this show, around utopia, basically, but it's only episode 2 and while it is incredibly rare that I am incorrect about things it does happen on occasion. Like Talentless Nana... *shudders*Permalink On twitter.com

I've only known Sage for a day but if anything were to happen to her I would shoot everyone in this room and then myselfPermalink On twitter.com

the show is living in a fantasy where every professor at an elite private school is a good teacher who likes their job and cares about the well being of their students rather than a random, spiteful asshole with tenurePermalink On twitter.com

they're just going to class, and I'm tired. the only reason why I'm up is because I forgot to eat while I was working. So I apologize if the commentary is kinda dry. But I am thinking, thoughts are formingPermalink On twitter.com

this one's an asshole teacherPermalink On twitter.com

Classism is a thing it wants to do actually, which means we've arrived at the show's first ✨ political theme ✨ The classism in the show is not systemic. So far it's wholly relegated to a small handful of rich white assholes who are personally mean to our protagonistsPermalink On twitter.com

I had more to say about classism but I keep getting distractedPermalink On twitter.com
-
The school is loosely and transparently organized to let the writers send the characters wherever they want, whenever. It's a little jarring because episode 1 did quite a bit of show-don't-tell worldbuilding but this episode the school feels very... cardboardPermalink On twitter.com
-
Like, here I can't help but think that the only reason there are this few first years is so they wouldn't have to draw all that manyPermalink On twitter.com
-
They're like "here's free period where you can do whatever, and also you get to go on adventures". That doesn't feel like something a school would it, it feels like something a writer would doPermalink On twitter.com

Rosemary just has ADHD btw and I will not be explaining furtherPermalink On twitter.com

actually Sage/Rosemary reminds me a lot of me and my sib, especially when we were younger and had to separate for the first times and do different things with new people. this may explain it's the core of the experience for mePermalink On twitter.com

we're doing the tea scene from Harry Potter, which is a weird reference given how trans this show is and how JK Rowling JK Rowling isPermalink On twitter.com

I guess my thing is, I am not particularly invested in the actual specifics of going to magic school or becoming a guardian, but besides Rosemary and Sage, that's what the show is trying to offer as a selling pointPermalink On twitter.com
-
The creator cites Naruto as an influence specifically right? So I guess it's kinda like becoming the Hogake. But I haven't actually watched Naruto, I can just recognize when the purpose behind two plot points are similarPermalink On twitter.com

Shout out to Thyme, for refusing to want to be herePermalink On twitter.com

So it's over. Do I have thoughts? Yes Um worse than episode 1 by quite a bit. Rosemary and Sage are like, the best part of the show when they are together. But they can't be together all the time, and when they're not it's got a lot less going for itPermalink On twitter.com
-
The show seems to trust... authority? Quite a bit? Every parent is a good parent. Every teacher is a good teacher. The trio that runs the school are wise, if not eccentric. Fuckin hell they're literally training to become GUARDIANS right?Permalink On twitter.com
-
Since this is for children, my expectations were not exactly set at "Revolutionary Communist Literature". The show seems to take place in a kind of utopia, where a lot of the problems that exist for us either don't exist, or exist in small degreesPermalink On twitter.com
-
My issue is, the show has not established how systems like school or family in their world are different than here. They just kind of exist without any of the problems. So it reads like just sanitizing those systems in real lifePermalink On twitter.com

I had one more thing to say but then I did a big yawn and it escaped my brainPermalink On twitter.com

Yup it's gone, sorry. I can't promise it'll come back. The comments on Crunchyroll are completely normal thoughPermalink On twitter.com

Okay I'm frustrated that I forgot my point but staying up isn't going to help. I will say, as a self-professed SJW I am going through the show trying to tease out its themes, strengths, and weaknesses. But my friends on the conservative side are doing thisOn twitter.com
