Ah, the ultra-rare anime GILF enters the chat. Now that I give it some thought, Style seems a bit like Golden Kamuy within the sense that it is stuffed to the brim with larger-than-life characters working round like they personal the place. That, and a common embrace of the loopy and absurd in incongruous conditions. They’re clearly completely different, as they are often in essentially the most superficial of the way, however beneath the floor they’re non secular cousins. Not that I equate the 2 collection when it comes to general high quality, do not get me improper (I prefer it Stylehowever that is a non-starter).
Nana Mizuki is a good selection as Ayase Seiko, the aforementioned grandmother. If you are going to compete in opposition to a turbo grandma, who higher to do it than one other cool grandma? We first meet Seiko as she performs the function of a make-believe psychologist on TV (which is a deception from the beginning). She stops her taxi house, clearly realizing that one thing is critically improper. She comes house to seek out her granddaughter with a chilly and calls Turbo Granny herself. And she or he has her opponent’s quantity, because of her professional use of defenses and magical limitations. Seiko reveals little compassion when TG holds Okarun’s physique for ransom, however the outcomes will present that her bark is worse than her chew.
One of many funniest issues about this arc is how Momo and Seiko are fairly intimate with the paranormal, but laughingly dismiss the concept of aliens as absurd, and with Okarun it is the precise reverse (minus the intimacy). The overall rule of them with Style is that if it does not actually exist, it’s actual. Fortunately for Okarun, Granny does not destroy his physique to take out Turbo Granny. Is it as a result of she feels he is completely different from the same old assholes Momo brings house, or is she simply not the sort to take out a human, even when it takes out an evil spirit?
When Momo wakes up, Seiko trolls her fairly good about it, however ultimately offers in and tells her that the boy is in the primary shrine corridor. That comprises its curse simply as Momo’s energy does, however is clearly not a long-term resolution. The 2 instantly resume their bickering flirting, and Okarun – whereas nonetheless having his moments of pathetic loneliness – offers pretty much as good as he will get. The issue, Grandma says, is not simply that Turbo Granny is a robust ghost plaguing Japan. It is that when she arrived within the metropolis, she merged with a location-based spirit within the tunnel, and so long as they’re in that location (the town itself), that hybrid youkai is extremely robust.
Seiko’s recipe is for the 2 kids to lure Turbo Granny out of city, weakening her by undermining the powers of the location-bound spirit. The issue is that they should keep away from her to do it, and Momo has to maintain the curse beneath management your entire time. That may entail an intense spherical of coaching, as Okarun is clearly not an elite of adolescent athleticism. As for Momo, her non secular energy – woke up by the aliens however since weakened – is one thing she should hone and study to maximise. In the meantime, he tries to determine how Okarun could make a multitude with out her gazing him to regulate the curse (he cannot). Not the sort of issues the common new teenage couple faces, however that is positively not the common teenage couple…
