    I feel like their Japan is showing when they're like, "Cup ramen is the key to winning this war!"

    I don't expect carrying around waterproof bamboo cups to be light - not compared to actual cup ramen.

    Surely bread or jerky is going to be more suited for war rations.

    The episode was worth it for their smug faces at 18:40 alone.

    Not to opine on the usefulness of freeze dried cup ramen as a war ration but bamboo is one of the lightest crafting materials you could find and they only need to bring one bowl per person. Agree jerky likely would of been better but carbohydrates would likely be needed for extended conflicts.

    I guess you "could" freeze-dry ramen from the cup then package them in something else... and hope moisture doesn't get back into it...

    It'd decrease its shelf life, but that's moot for guerilla warfare (unless it rains, then good luck).

    I thought the cave and the village are weeks apart? The place where Senku was "killed" was already a few days travel from the cave, and after he woke up, the village was a few more away.

    It might be a day's travel for Kohaku, but she's well into the superhuman range.

    I assumed exglitch meant that Team Senku should bring a bowl each along with packets of instant ramen.

    I didn't think he meant that they should bring one serving only.

    The whole point of the instant ramen vs jerky/hard tack for rations is the boost morale. Eating delicious, nutritious, hot food will do wonders for motivation and endurance in the cold compared to tasteless rubbery/powdery half-frozen crap.

    The main problem I have with the ramen is the need for hot water. You can't exactly light a fire while scouting near or in enemy territory.

    I assume it is more of a base camp sort of thing. It's winter, they're going to need fires one way or another. Honestly, not sure how the pink octopus lips girl is not freezing to death.

    If there's a bubbling pot of hot water and a well-protected warm fire at their base, someone coming back from scouting can quickly warm up. There's also at least one hot spring along the way.

    The real benefits to the freeze dried food is that it's super light, can't spoil because it is dry, and can be reconstituted with just water (plenty of snow for that too).

    Episode 2:

    I really hate the super abiliites of the unfrozen people. I'm sorry, but showing that the pink girl used to be an athlete only makes it WORSE, because no athlete can jump from tree branch to tree branch.

    It should be people growing up in the wild that have super abilities, THEY are used to survival, fighting wildlife, traversing difficult environments. Instead they come off as sheltered current day-people whereas the unfrozen guys under Tsukasa appear to be perfectly adapted to living in the wild. That's dumb. :/

    Dear god, the entire group couldn't catch the pink girl until some super elaborate trick. And now the episode ended with some super-duper bowshooter guy. Bowshooting. Again, something that the wild people should excel at, not some current day guy who won some tournaments.

    The first fictional loli that made me fall for her

    You're complaining about things that are exaggerated for effect, and missing all the very obvious hints the series literally explains to us.

    It's pretty obviously acknowledged that Kohaku is physically superior to Homura in every way:
    - She has 11x natural vision, a stamina that Homura plainly states seems inexhaustible, and physically overpowers her.
    - Kohaku tells Senku that if she was allowed to kill Homura, it would be easy, but they're trying to capture her alive.
    - Kohaku is put out of the first fight because Senku blinds her as well with the flare, and it debilitates Kohaku even more because of her super vision.
    - Homura's gymnastics completely baffle Kohaku. Flips, jumps, spins, somersaults, Kohaku has never seen any of this stuff before in her entire life, and she doesn't know what to think. Is it an attack, is it an evasive strategy (yes), it's also just mindblowing to her.

    Tsukasa knows ALL of the people he's waking up by name. It's just the circles he was part of in the 21st century. He knows everyone with superhuman or peak-level abilities from being on variety shows, exhibition fights, and survivalist events. Of course they're all physically superior, all skilled at survival, or have uniquely specialized skills like Gen. Senku only has Kohaku, Magma, and Gen.

    Of course there's caricature and exageration in anime, but if you ever have the chance to be very close a world class athlete in action, it trully is incredible and over the top.
    Had the experience for volley ball, table tenis, soccer, golf and other sports... yes I loved sports...
    It trully is mind blowing the levels of precision, speed, reflexes, strength, so incredible it feels impossible and unreal, yet it happens right before your eyes.

    Now it felt like watching Naruto at times

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Episode 5:

    Man, this show really is such bs. It wants to be scientific on some things, but is soooo unscientific on a ton of others.

    When Kinro can fell a tree just with his spear, then why even bother with science? :/

    I'm disappointed how much you need to shut off your brain for enjoying it.

    And lol at Tsukasa predicting EXACTLY what Senku planned. Sigh. This anime is for 5 yos ...

    Because then the science thing stops his spear?

    I mean, *I* predicted that a guy that makes guns could also make tanks next.

    My bigger question is, how is Tsukasa making such great tank traps in his kingdom of no tech? Like, collapsible stone floors that look perfect with spike pits inside...
