Don't read comments. People seem to be getting confused on how to keep their mouths shut. And to those of you having problems; if it's something that gets explained in the show, stop yapping about it.
For real. Under every reaction video I watched for this show, people just can't shut up! Like why can't people just let stuff get figured out when the show wants it to?
unfortunately she already got spoiled on somethings by her own twitch chat, which is really sad. I really hope she'll find another series she enjoys just as much and is able to get through it without people ruining it for her.
@@Wepwaet Such is the sad reality of streaming reactions. In fact, Alicia deciding to binge react to the show was probably the best way to record her honest reactions. But for her own Twitch chat to ruin it for her . . . damn. I had been ingesting the reactions of another streamer to So I'm a Spider. He got to the big twist we had all been waiting for . . then he revealed that some A-Hole spoiled the twist weeks prior, he was just really good at acting.
Yeah, they should wait before she reaches Episode 23. Spoiling her wouldn't help. It would ruin the experience. Let her be. Clarifying things is one thing but spoiling? Nuh uh
@@jakken666not just mass perma ban, a mass patreon permaban. 22 people on patreon got banned including a dude who was in the ultimate tier, that’s someone who was paying $50 a month
It's hilarious how this didn't at first (on the surface) seem like something my son (21) or I would watch, but we're both hooked. It's just so good. The episode that just aired had both our brains bouncing all over the place. I love the story telling, it's incredible.
Maomao: "People naturally listen to stories that interest them." Jinshi: "But don't you always cut me off mid sent-" Maomao: "Well, would you look at the time, another boring conversation averted, later Jinshi!"
All the people leaving "hints" and "clues" aren't being clever; it actually ends up being annoying, and almost as bad as straight-up spoilers. The whole point of REACTION videos is to go into the content BLIND, reacting to things organically as they unfold. If you try to "nudge her in the right direction", you don't show care about seeing the reaction as intended; feels like you care more about appearing smart (just because you've seen it before and have information she doesn't), and/or having influence on the outcome.
Facts mate facts also add in the people who confirm her THEORIES. Her speculating and saying that she thinks she is right is NOT an excuse to say that she is right! Like say for example she says something like "OMG! this person is going to lose this fight", if you spoil the outcome there's no reason to care as much anymore.
Right, because Alicia REALLY enjoys the process of figuring things out herself. Especially in a show like this, where you're EXPECTED to piece things together as they go along and can feel good about yourself if you figure it out b4 the reveal. All these people giving "hints" and spoilers to feel smart themselves only end up souring that experience for her, the person we're here to see enjoy it. Also, ANOTHER thing other comments have said that I agree with: simply [not rudely] clearing up confusion about something the show fully intends for her to see (like when misinterpreting an awkwardly translated line or mistaking one character for another, and not done as an intentional red herring) is NOT the same as hinting/spoiling when the show is PURPOSFULLY misdirecting her.
I cannot wait for future episodes, Alicia's intelligence in deciphering from context clues, story beats, whatever plus this anime that does an excellent job at manipulating those elements make for so much entertainment, genuinely one of the best reaction series for me right now is this series.
That guy gives me so much ick, too The voice actor's intonation, the direction, his appearance, his attitude, his actions, the sketchy things he says...all of it comes together to just give the perfect ick.
On rewatching, I can't help but think ( I do not know, have not even finished the anime) this sketchy guy is the one who both gave that pipe to the warehouse man to blow him up, and gave the brother the info on seaweed poison, like some sort of Moriarty to Maomao's Sherlock.
to be fair to the strategist, "i wanted to force myself on her" wasn't quite translated properly. i don't remember the exact wording of what he said, but it was basically implying that he just wanted to sleep with her, that he was attracted to her, not that he wanted to force her into anything. yeah, he's super sketchy, but not that sort of bad from what we've seen and heard so far.
I always thought that he used "forced on her" not because it was an exact truth but because he wanted to see Jinshi reaction, interesting to know it was mistranslated.
Fudge . . . I think I'm going to have to pay for her Patreon. She's reacting to Lakan how I thought she would, and I just need more. So good, I don't think I can wait for TH-cam.
Lakan (the monocle dude) and the answer to his question is critical to the coming arc so I can't and won't talk about that. So... the case? Well it is a tradition now... China and Japan are not the only nations to have deliberately eaten poisonous food. Fugu being the most famous has a lethal paralytic poison in different organs depending on species (Liver, testicles, ovaries, and even skin). In England's pre-industrial revolution there was a type of herb that was used in certain dishes that was in fact poisonous; unfortunately I was unable to relocate the source (It may have been Broom, but the plants description doesn't match my memory of the plant in question), in small doses it was fine, but cumulative poisoning was a serious threat. You wouldn't live long enough to get fat off food containing this seasoning as the body struggled to remove the poison, and eating more just kept adding to the amount till you died. I was unable to narrow down the seaweed to a particular species (Such as Nori) so I can't say for sure what the poison was, but it may have been Domoic acid, which is also a neurotoxin that can build up in certain algae blooms and shellfish, but that was first discovered in a seaweed called dōmoi, which is a red algae. Today a fair amount of research is being done on edible seaweed to determine it's health effects and looks to mitigate the problems of various toxic elements. Today that includes, Iodine, aluminium, and heavy metals absorbed by the algae, alongside arsenic compounds and the afore mentioned Domoic acid.
Lakan definitely gives off a shifty impression. If I had to describe him with only one word, it'd be 'oily.' That's just going by his appearance and demeanor, by the way. He has very few actions at this point by which you can judge him. Or backstory. The dude's an enigma, and not the kind you want to go near.
Hhhmmm Lihaku is in military, Lakan is very important military strategist who detect the pipe and prob sent Lihaku to check things out, but did Lakan predict Maomao investigating.
Gaoshun was a “detective” and is being asked again by a friend. This raises two points: is he a eunuch? And is Lakan pulling the strings again through a friend through Gaoshun. Gaoshun has a super read on his XiaoMao, so he knows which buttons to push.
Hhmmm maybe too many comments by me sigh need to do better. I have tried real hard not to do spoilers, but the authors had this stuff in earlier episodes so foreshadowing is big deal. I will try to combine comments into 1 in future but I kind respond spontaneously to reactions. But this is perhaps better approach thanks for your comments. Look forward to your feedback in the future. This story is so deep and interconnected it is a delight - nothing is shown or offered with immediate meaning but also future meanings. Lakan falls into this as he clearly comes across as at min suspicious perhaps dangerous certainly manipulative and Maomao who is a terrific judge of people wants to avoid him.
Lakan is brilliant at manipulating people, but also his in Maomao interest is interesting and disturbing. Jinshi sees him as an adversary but Maomao and Jinshi are super smart and he is super high status.
Lakan, who has had no interest in woman before and after meeting this GO and Shoji champion, is obsessed with her AND Maomao hhhhmmmm lots of mysterious connections.
@@gprovidakes And any connections that may or may not be revealed in the show already is for HER to discover and connect on her own. It's not for you to highlight.

Alicia up there snacking while watching a story about food poisoning, then struggling after drinking water was an unexpected bit of extra comedy.
Sad to hear about the sh*t that went down about spoilers : / Hope you will still finish the whole series. Many hugs
What was she spoiled on exactly?
@@omegashark1837 Not gonna say. But was bad. she had to do a mass permenant ban on the people who spoiled.

When she welcomed him home in that way I think Jinshi just imagined 10+ children. 😂
SO glad shes binging the show. she wouldve been spoiled to high hell right about now
Unfortunately, based on the the top two comments (including a pinned comment), seems she WAS spoiled on major things by her Twitch chat.
@@simontheslakoth719 ah damn that sucks, I thought she always had it on emote only mode.

16:18 "Impure thoughts begone! Impure thoughts begone! Impure thoughts begone!" with each slam XD
I don’t know if it’s funnier as that, or as “I HAVE SEEN SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT EXIST, MUST ERASE”.
Maomao: "People naturally listen to stories that interest them."

In the words of Raph from Rise Of The TMNT...."STOP. EATING. THE POISON!!!"
Force myself" is just a mistranslation

I laughed so much at that part " VOMIT NOW!" and when Maomao tried again but Jinshi grabbed her
Maybe Jinshi should dress up as a Mushroom, or a Snake. Than she might look his way.😅
I think like the Garden Party, she likes when he acts childish or closer to his real(?) age.
That guy gives me so much ick, too
The voice actor's intonation, the direction, his appearance, his attitude, his actions, the sketchy things he says...all of it comes together to just give the perfect ick.
"Breathe in, breathe out, wax on, wax off" ^^
Going for the seaweed again? No! And she gets picked up LMAO😂😂😂
Basen is smart and gets hint sort of like Gaoshun figuring out Maomao wanted Cacao in Episode 2.
That's how I felt when I was reading the Manga.
Damn, this anime is great!
On rewatching, I can't help but think ( I do not know, have not even finished the anime) this sketchy guy is the one who both gave that pipe to the warehouse man to blow him up, and gave the brother the info on seaweed poison, like some sort of Moriarty to Maomao's Sherlock.
[Non-specific Hideo Kojima quote]
The plot thickens, like cheezy soup.
I can't wait to see the reactions to things to come
Me too!!
Basen is sparring partner with Jinshi and apparently trusted by Gaoshun, his attitude aside.
Maomao really knows how to diss Jinshi. This reminds me of Lizzie and Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, well not as vulgar and dangerous.
went and read the manga back when only a couple episodes were out
this part of the story is sooooo stressful oough 😖
15:54 NO, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME
When Alicia eats her model's nose wiggles, making it look a bit like a bunny. Probably because of the ears.
to be fair to the strategist, "i wanted to force myself on her" wasn't quite translated properly. i don't remember the exact wording of what he said, but it was basically implying that he just wanted to sleep with her, that he was attracted to her, not that he wanted to force her into anything. yeah, he's super sketchy, but not that sort of bad from what we've seen and heard so far.
Pin her down. It was in the manga, which is still iffy but a bit more ambiguous.
I always thought that he used "forced on her" not because it was an exact truth but because he wanted to see Jinshi reaction, interesting to know it was mistranslated.
Here it comes, my favorite character
Fudge . . . I think I'm going to have to pay for her Patreon. She's reacting to Lakan how I thought she would, and I just need more. So good, I don't think I can wait for TH-cam.
What about her livestreams? Can't make 'em? Watching her binge watch the eps is kinda fun.
@@BNuts I can't ever seem to catch the right ones.
As long as Jinshi is around Maomao’s self poisoning will not result in early death and injury.
He's a very shady looking guy indeed.
3:19
Im tryin to imagine the food flying into her mouth
Erghhhhh... focus.... focus...
Keep watching it avoid the spoilers
Maybe he is not as wise as Sieren regarding Gaoshun’s Xiaomao regard for her.
Don't look in the comments Alicia, there be spoilers in these waters
She says she binge watched these episodes before uploading. She likely is up to date before uploading lol

The storytelling is quite good. Future events could be surprising.
It's amazing how Alicia thinks such bad things that are way beyond what the show does.
Writing a comment
Hhmmm someone detected previous guy salt issue and this guy’s brother interest in seafood. Two events with maybe one instigator.
Lakan definitely gives off a shifty impression. If I had to describe him with only one word, it'd be 'oily.' That's just going by his appearance and demeanor, by the way. He has very few actions at this point by which you can judge him. Or backstory. The dude's an enigma, and not the kind you want to go near.
Not so much oily as snake like. But definitely creepy.
VOMIT!
Same here,Alicia....He gave out those dark vibe which mostly people instantly dislike him
ick
Hhhmmm Lihaku is in military, Lakan is very important military strategist who detect the pipe and prob sent Lihaku to check things out, but did Lakan predict Maomao investigating.
Lakan does it again and I think Maomao knows him or of him. Ergo “okay let’s forget about this” to make it go away.
I've watched this show in both Japanese and English, I personally find it funnier in English, especially the seaweed eating scene
Gaoshun was a “detective” and is being asked again by a friend. This raises two points: is he a eunuch? And is Lakan pulling the strings again through a friend through Gaoshun.
Gaoshun has a super read on his XiaoMao, so he knows which buttons to push.
