| There is a lot at stake financially, poltically, and ideologically when it comes to the Olympics. it's hardly about sports anymore. Let's not be too naive about it. Behind the sports, the Olympics is a show of nationalism, national pride, clout, and a message to the world to take notice. It's a forum for establishing place among nations and to establish who gets bragging rights in the international pecking order. Its also a source of income for those that can profit off the tourism, merchandise, advertising, sponsorships, etc. Yet the International Olympic Commitee has to be thinking hard about what the Olympics has been and what it is now and what the spirit of the Olympics Games has come to symbolize over its long legacy. Sportsmanship, comraderie, diplomacy, a coming together of nations and peoples of different background and ethnicities, and cultures for the purposes of entertainment, sport, and celebrations. but now we are sending a message to a host nation that wishes to exclude or make feel unwelcome a population of people that this is acceptable or that we are willing to overlook their discrimination and hostility towards the LGBT community for the sake of making profit and for the sake of keeping our reputation intact as nation with the best pro athletes competing in what would have and should have been an exhibition of the best amateur athletes in the world.

Great focus on Lamia in recent episodes though, and I've come to like her more than expected. Now I just want more Kusuha. Also two cour. awesome and very well animated final battle. Overall it's one of the dumbest shows I've ever seen, but very enjoyable. I just couldn't fully buy into it as the kind of show where an ending like that works, thus I did not react the way it was hoping I would. So yes it took a tumble here, and scored a 7 instead of an almost guaranteed 8, but it certainly wasn't bad..
