I want to make some kinda chess joke with Wang but I can't because I don't play chess.

I like the implication across my favorite media that men will work on their aura before they work on their emotional regulation skills /jjjjj
I'm also not joking though.
Anyway Camille's combat demo theme is still such a bop

Camille and Camus would be friends, I think.
Camus would disagree with every single one of Camille's decisions. The same would go the other way
I friendship everyone.

I still ROFL whenever I think about how someone on the SoG story planning committee was like "Oh we need a hypocritical traitor! Who could possibly fit the role?? *looks at Camus*"

Every time I use BB it's the same reaction of "...dang it. She's really good"
I don't think I could've done Avenger fights as easily if I didn't have her

Also Tamamo no Mae fans cry for a buff every time I see a 5 star Caster buff, but ngl, I don't think she really needs one
Of course, an NP battery or hard defense would make her broken broken, but I've never found myself thinking "Ah dang looks like Tamamo got powercrept...I sure wish she would get buffed..." she has a battery on her NP along with healing and skill cooldown. Idk how much more you should want.I say this but Changgong got buffed and I will NEVER complain about it even though I also don't think he needed one

Binged OCII
It was good. My favorite Ordeal Call. Possibly one of my favorite Main Story.
I will clown on Cagliostro any day of the week.
Slightly more in-depth review:
-Galaxian-The start was better imo, but I did binge the story, so take that with a grain of salt.
I always enjoy seeing Jalter, Salieri, and Kagekiyo/Ushiwaka, so yeah. Always glad to see how well I understand Ushi lol
I also really loved Osakabehime and Mandricardo in the dream world. I hold them very close to my heart (Osakabehime as one of my most consistent performers and Servants, and Mandricardo because he's an awkward and relatable weirdo lol, and they go well on a team with Changgong), and it's nice to see that they would really be stellar friends to anyone. I wish the story allocated some time for me to say goodbye to them for real.
Connected to that, I also do love Jalter and her moments of empathy, where she points out that she never really had a family of her own and doesn't really care all that much for the Earth, but still sympathizes with Fujjimaru. I wish she could have had a moment with Osakabehime and Mandricardo in particular to emphasize that even though she's never had a normal life, she still was genuinely fond of them.
I also kinda enjoy how this chapter illustrates Dantes' abnormality. Yes, dude has been around for a while as our dream immune system. Yes, that's real nice of him. But also, he initiallly debuted 'cause he was curious about the Demon Gods. He has little in the way of socialization. He is okay with murdering people as long as it's for the greater good in his eyes.
In terms of weaknesses, the antagonists were undercooked. They didn't need more screentime--they needed more time for their backstories and motivations beyond "OOOH AVENGER EDGYYYY".
Take Cagliostro, for instance. Bro has 0 dynamic with Dantes. Apparently they faced off in life. Okay. We have no info. He just gets pwned with Dantes' Noble Phantasm. Twice. Get clowned on.
I also think that the initial few Avengers are okay in terms of their character dimensions (since we're familiar with Boudica and Salieri, and narratively speaking, the 1st and 2nd trials are supposed to be an introduction to the whole premise, which I think was done pretty well), but starting from Marie, I was expecting much more to be shown rather than told. And btw, I did enjoy Marie Alter because it was nice to see her contrast from her normal self. But I would have loved to see more of her grief surrounding her family. Instead, all I got from her talking about "her Charles" was "wow she sure sounds like Specter talking about their cop OC". And yes I know Charles is her son...there was just so much to work with that just. Wasn't.
And then we had Theodoric Alter. All that talk about a king's pride...bro was feeding my NP gauge with his 6 partywide-attacks. He was doing 0 damage through my singular Prince of Lanling Leads the Formation Damage Cut. Dude was NOT intimidating. I will remember nothing about his character. And what about his fight with Dantes in life, too? That sure happened, huh?
Lastly, Dantes. His art is VERY cool but...bro, really? I feel like I learned nothing about him except that I should maybe trust him a little less than I do, which is already at a weirdly high amount just because he's a funny cool-looking guy. A good lesson but not really story relevant.
Also, Hassan of the Shining Star's screentime got stolen by everyone else, I think. He needed more time to talk with everyone. I in particular wanted to see him and Kagekiyo sharing a brain cell. And there had to be a reason why he was the only one summoned by humanity for this Ordeal Call, but that wasn't addressed. And he never did give us his official stamp of approval, which btw was his entire dynamic with the main character. Dude didn't get treated too badly, but there was so much room for improvement.
Anyway, funniest moments:
-Amadeus' whistle lowkey killed me lol. Dude is funny
-I love Hessian. I love the headless ghost. Dude is full of whimsy
-I enjoyed Hassan's one moment of trying to get Fujimaru out of bed
