anime

hello
seems i'm having trouble with thursdays lately

Were you napping or distracted?

better late than never

Kyoukai Senki
^{Episode 12-13}
Platinum End
^{Episode 11-13}
Scarlet Nexus
^{Episode 25-26}
Shiroi Suna no Aquatope

So far as the usual Thursday stuff

There's also one new Winter 2022 show for today, Saiyuuki Reload - Zeroin
Seems to be a josei-targeted adventure fantasy set in a demon-infested vaguely East Asia world

I'd be cool watching two episodes of something as long as it's not Platinum End (I can't watch two episodes of that lol) or I'd be fine with one of everything and the new show

Hah hah hah
It also helps that one of the other two options for double episodes is one of your favourite shows airing right now

OKAY

oh caps

kyoukai
kyoukai
scarlet 25
shiroi

and is there anything new?

okay
we'll put saiyuuki in third

>>1012950
>>1012944

kyoukai 12
okay
lets start

Kyoukai!

Reaaaady!

time to fight GHOST some more

I wonder if redhead guy is going to join in with the gang or if he'll miss out on the fight and be salty about not getting to fight the renewed GHOST

Oh, damn
It's pretty rare for people to get explicitly killed in this series because the robots are mostly unmanned

I still feel like GHOST has to have some kind of aqueous capabilities, or has some faction helping move it around
Because even with the plane it can hook up to, I think these islands its terrorizing are far enough out from the mainland that it seems a bit far-fetched

Am I losing my mind? I feel like we watched this episode two weeks ago.

I don't think I remember watching it

Didn't they fight GHOST last episode?
The red haired guy told them where to find GHOST and then they went and fought it on these islands?
And like, they fought in a warehouse and stuff?
I know I didn't watch this alone but I can't shake this feeling that I've seen it

Ah, shit, you're right
Man how did I not get that corrected
Weird

maybe because it's been two weeks and there's no episode 14 yet
so naturally you'd think there are two episodes

Could be
Although in doing my look into this, Erai-Raws lists episode thirteen as the show's end
So is this not more than a single cour?

We're probably locked into this episode until Rika checks back in though

It's two cour
I think they're just taking a week or two off

It is, but not a week off
Part two will pick up in April

oh wow

>>1012982
OH i see
so we're on 12?

okay
ep 12
you're right

13
okay
lets start

Hi Rika there was an error in my listkeeping
We already watched this episode back before Christmas

We're watching episode twelve right now
We'd need to be watching episode thirteen

I will strive for more accurate tracking in the future

13!

Oh yeah also Kirara you should check out Tokyo 24-ku when you've got time
I think it's something you'll find real cool

i will take a look
the only new show i was planning on watching that aired so far is that MMO isekai one
i'll add 24-ku

Leadale is pretty comfy cute too
A bit bog-standard isekai-y otherwise but that's not neccessarily a bad thing
24-ku was definitely the highlight of the new stuff we watched for me

I guess he's not bummed out about being the one that takes down GHOST
He struck me as more batoru hungry earlier

He's more practical than I expected.
I like him.

Hah hah hah
The Chinese guy is being awfully cooperative now
I guess they're not all jerks
Just the upper brass

>It must have had experience fighting against three manned AMAIM before this
Hoh hoh hoh

GHOST is so crazy.
How can an AI be so good against three humans?
It's gotta secretly be one of these furry AIs.

That or it was never an AI in the first place
I do think it's one of the super AIs though yeah

that's a pretty big weakpoint too

showdown time!

Oh shit
It can hack the unmanned mechs

isnt this guy way too OP

Imagine if in the second cour they have to go up against a mk.III version of it

LIMITER RELEASE

that's how you know
limiters released

ooooooh

strong!!

Wow he's the only one that gets the special limiter release
Although the kitsune made a good point
It's not like a sniper-type mech needs a speed and power limiter release

I love combo attacks like this
So cool

they've got it!

oh no

Amou what do you think you're doing

He's saving the day!

it's tradition for the main machine to get rekt mid-season so they can come back with a new version (:

Gai ;_;

Nevermind a new machine I think they need a new pilot after that

amou will walk it off i'm sure

This probably really fucks with Gashin though
It was his insistence on revenge which prompted this fight
To avenge his dad, he lost probably his first true friend in a while

i bet that the red haired guy will recover amou from the ocean

Well hopefully someone does!

At this point I'm more worried about Gai, honestly
Amou's a sturdy kid, I'm sure he'll be okay
But Gai's an AI in a box

Brad what?

Oh no
Is he turning villain instead

oh no

how blooded episode

>Eight months later
Wow, they're really gonna timeskip

saiyuuk

yup we haven't had good josei in some time
okay
lets start

There hasn't been much josei lately which has gotten an anime adaptation
At least that isn't smut
Not that it's a genre that gets a lot of attention anyway though

yeah i havent seen any josei for a while

That is a really gay thin to just ask someone out of the blue

just the way i like it

Gotta say this is already selling me better on the premise than Orient last night

HELL YEAH
GRANRODEO

i can only hear keiichi

lmao
just shoots the dude in the head

So much for being human

the setting and tech levels look like theyre all over the place so far

Yeah, but an anachronistic setting like that isn't too bad

you won't hear me complaining

Some kind of Cowboy Priest

ears

Yeah those are some wild ears
They don't seem to be elves though

demons maybe?

Yeah, the synopsis I read for this series said there was a kind of oni or other similar race
Can't remember what they specifically called them

demonds
demons i think
they're not pretty enough to be elves

i like this guy's hat

On a closer look it's not a cowboy hat
More of a trifold hat but even that's not quite right

Now here's a real cowboy

REVOLVER OCELOT
MY KIND OF GUY

Blondie is jealous that he doesn't have a cool gun like that

yikes

Oh I guess he needs a hand

that came off so casually i feel like theyll just stick it back on

Oh they're youkai

He seems kind of shady but also he did go out of his way to be a good person

He also has a bit of a weird dialect
I think it might be Kansai-ben?

Oh they're using it to demonstrate his foreigness

interesting

>Bring back the chicken on this drumstick
>To eat it

A lot of these designs are really josei

It's a bit refreshing
I won't deny my bias for cute girls but it's nice to get a different flavour once in a while

Yeah, I like it.

Man they all can't catch a break

rough day

HERE'S JOHNNY

Well that was kinda fun
Better than I was expecting

yeah not bad

Oh wow it's actually an adaptation of a pretty old manga that ran from 1997 to 2002
I had kind of a feeling that it felt a bit old school but that's because it literally is old school

okay
scarlet 25?
okay
let's start

the point
of all
the fighting and trouble on the earth
the nexus
you cant believe in what you hear
>>1013081
neato

So many shows we watch on Thursdays end up starting with S
Scarlet Nexus, Shiroi Suna, Sakugan, now Saiyuuki

Karen's such a strong boy

That's a pretty mature approach to Karen's grief
Maybe a bit generous considering the things he's done, but still, pretty nice to understand that Karen's actions are just him coping with the death of his waifu

karen has it hard
i get him

The comms twins finally show up in person
Instead of always being behind a screen

this scene looks like congratulations
where they were all standing around

struggle

Struggling when you're only really just standing around focusing your psionic powers is always kind of funny

rip dude

I can't believe Yuito is fucking dead

It always comes back to Alice

This sure is finale-y
But there's a whole last episode?

still gotta find out what's up on the moon

What if they never actually go to the moon

i will laugh if they just drop this
honestly i feel like this story is way too ambitious
waaaaaaay too many crazy plotlines that intertwine in bizarre ways and it's just overcomplicated

uhh

did karen save alice by preventing himself from ever existing

5d chess?

hahaha this is such a big thing to introduce right before the final episode
and it looks like there's just an epilogue timeskip next time?

>Who's Rem?

do you guys want to watch one more thing or two more things?

i can do one more thing

okay
shiroi
okay
lets start

Yeah that's probably for the best

>>1013103
Probably doesn't help it's a JRPG adaptation
You can stuff a lot of crazy plotlines into a forty to sixty-hour game
But then try to condense it down into a two-cour anime and you gotta compress or cut a lot

shiroi

So what is the whole deal with that tiny red-haired child-thing
Is it just like some kind of Okinawan cryptid or something that you'd know what it was if you knew Okinawan folklore

fish heads fish heads

Rolly polly feesh heads

I never really thought about what it takes to populate an aquarium tank like this
Seems like some pretty intensive work

how nice

she's doing good work

this is so cool
what a cool wedding
i bet fish would have enjoyed this

Probably, yeah

I still want to go to a nice crazy aquarium
Still probably isn't a great idea since, well
I'm also much closer to the Toronto Zoo where I'm living now
Maybe once the weather's warm I'll go visit it

I wonder if this is a cultural shift in Japan
This couple is only just getting married now, but they already have a kid
I was under the impression they were still a country where you got married usually if you were going to have a family

Yeah, I think that's how it usually is

>Piston shrimp
>Wimps
Oh you have no idea

Hah hah hah
Feels so weird seeing Kukuru's boss smiling like that

I was bored and reading about penguins today
i wonder what they feel liek

I think their feathers are a bit slick
The back ones at least
I'm pretty sure the white parts on their bellies are softer and more thermal
They are an Antarctic creature after all

Her granddad has always been such a nice character
The best sea queen

Who the fuck are you

the magic is back!

It's really sweet that Fuuka gets to be with Kukuru and the rest of her family

hawaii time

Kukuru's growing out her hair a bit

these hats are sick

Wow, the vet is having a second kid

he's such a good guy

free loveeeee

Penguins sure have such wild relationships

These otters don't give a fu
Oh
Hah hah hah

this is so nice
everyone has managed to grow so much

They did a really, really good job of showing three years of growth in a two-cour show

Oh they're going to meet back up

hibiscus!

Ah
That was such a good series
Solidly up there in P.A. Works' hall of fame for me
Just a series full of love and kind messages

it was a solid comfy PA works
I liked it

Very good show.
I loved it.

thanks for anime
time to tuck myself back in

I long to live a life full of satisfaction and purpose as that

Thanks for anime!
Have a nice night
And enjoy your weekend Rika!
