Diana doing the whole Mochi Mayhem story off-screen and not mentioning anything about it until now honestly gives me the same vibes as Ash casually mentioning he had an off-screen adventure in the last episode of SM and discovering a completely new, unseen Pokémon. Talk about underselling something very major.
Like Ash in SM, It comes off as very lazy/just genuinely bad writing to me.

So all it took was Diana telling Pecharunt to stop, like a mother scolding her troublemaking child. It just can't help itself, can it?

Yeah that matches Pecharunt.

anipoke Animation Staff Lists are my forte!

Full Episode Staff List here on KeyFrame Staff List as always.

I guess some things come quicker than expected... it's a rather unusual outsource combination of Takuranke and X10 mixed with a little OLM Asia into the mix too.

And... that made for an incredible visual quality for this kind of episode.

And to top it off, we have the Storyboard (on a regular episode instead of on the Friede Seminar or the Mega Gurumin segment that is) Debut of Chiko Ueta... credited in katakana for some reason and... oh boy, her direction and storyboard went crazy for such an episode too!

X10 did a very good job on Let's Play. Really enjoyed it.

OPM fans can get stuffed going after them for that. We all know it's Bandai's fault at this point and I hope X10 get to do an episode of 2.5D Season 2. I think they'll thrive there.

I suppose some things turn right back into your face quicker than expected.

…Maybe Pecharunt will lead the RVT to the Loyal Three so they can get three more powerful mons for their Tera Type quest?…

Massive cope over here, lol
Normally this series sets stuff up for later, so still a maybe.

Totally called it that it would be Diana who gave Liko the Auspicious Armor.

Absolutely a garbage episode, Jesus Christ. Starting off the new year with this ****.
Its a shame too coz HZ had a strong streak of episodes going for a while and this arc in general was fine, but this episode is just so bad

The actual fun and memes of Mochi Mayhem DLC absolutely fall flat in the anime and it’s so irritating to see the DLC legends treated like this. Would have rather had an episode showing how Diana and Hamber actually caught it then whatever this was

What a waste of the games

Kinda nuts they gave her grandmother closer to a full team over the course of the series before they did her
At this point Diana is probably the most competent adult in this series. Even Friede at this point only has 3 Pokémon.

She also does everything almost flawlessly and is a perfect person whom everyone likes. I'm not saying she shouldn't be a nice person, but her achieving everything all the time is getting predictable and a little flat.

The funny thing is that she's conveniently absent whenever they're fighting the bad guys. She even let them deal with Explorers and Rakua all by themselves and went off to keep traveling the world without a care in the world, lol. She'll help the main characters progress the plot, but she won't stick around for the main conflict.
