逃げ若2期6話、鬼ごっこ回に海外「今期で作画が一番暴れた」【海外の反応】

“頼重が電動やすりと化すところで涙が出た。よくこんな馬鹿げたものを思いつくな”

Yorishige turning into a sander had me in tears. How do you even come up with something so ludicrous?

“じいちゃんに甘やかされたいって願いが、これ以上ない「猿の手」的な形で叶ったの好き”

Love that his wish of getting doted on by his grandpa got fullfilled in the most monkey paw way possible

“笑えるだけの箸休め回のはずなのに、殺し合いや合戦をやってた直近の何話よりも作画のクオリティが高いのはなんなんだ。 クローバーワークスは、時行が走って障害物を抜けて逃げる場面＝彼が本当に輝くところに、最高の作画を確実に当ててきてる。前の合戦回、伝令役の時行はあまり「逃げる」ことをしてなかったからな。 しかし頼重、もう孫がいるって何歳なんだ。Wikipedia でも生年不明だから、松井はかなり自由に彼を若く描いてるわけだ（リンクは貼らない。彼がいつ死ぬかのネタバレになるから）。 分かってる範囲で言えば、実際の頼重は1334〜1335年の時点で50〜60代でもおかしくない。とはいえ当時は10代で子を持って、40になる前に祖父になるのも珍しくなかった。 頼継は、時行にじいちゃんの関心を奪われて不機嫌になってる嫉妬深い甘やかされっ子。 ありがたいことに、時行は勝負のあとで彼を身の程知らずから救って友達になった。もっとも頼継のほうは、頼重に可愛がってほしいと願ったことを今さら後悔してる。あの人の頬ずり、紙やすり並みに荒いからな。声出して笑った”

For what is supposed to be a funny slice-of-life breather episode, animation quality is somehow even more impressive than the previous few episodes involving killings and battles. Clover Works really making sure that Tokiyuki running and escaping through obstacles, where he really shines, gets the best animation treatment possible. In contrast, Tokiyuki didn't really do much "running away" while being messenger on the previous battle. Holy cow, just how old is Yorishige for him to already have a grandson? His Wikipedia entry says his year of birth is not known, so Matsui really taking a lot of creative liberties making him look as young as possible. (I'm not linking it as it kinda spoils when he dies. ) For all we know, the real Yorishige could be in his 50s to 60s in 1334-1335. Then again, its not uncommon for people of that era to have kids in their teens, and then become grandparents before they turn 40. Yoritsugu being the jealous spoilt brat unhappy that Tokiyuki has taken his grandfather's attention. Thankfully, Tokiyuki managed to humble and befriend him after their duel, though now Yoritsugu is regretting wanting Yorishige to dote on him more, as Yorishige's face rubbing is as coarse as sandpaper.
