Three new things tonight

Fantasy Bishoujo Juniku Ojisan to is about two "old men" (I think they mean like forties, tops) who get isekai'd to save a world, standard shtick
But the MC gets summoned as a cute young girl while his friend gets to stay the handsome oji-san he is

Kenja no Deshi is about a guy who plays an old man wizard type in an MMO, but on a whim changes his avatar to that of a cute girl one night
But then the next day wakes up in the world of the MMO he was playing in the body of the cute girl

Tensai Ouji no Akaji Kokka Saisei Jutsu seems to be about a lazy prince who doesn't want to rule the kingdom he's inheriting, so he tries to auction it off to the highest bidder, and things go horribly awry from his plan

well does anyone have anything they want on the list tonight?

Well I really want to see the new episode of PriConne, especially if Bang's watching of season one is anywhere from a few days to a week in completion
Don't really want to wait that long for it!

how far are you on season 1 bang?

only 4 eps
you can go ahead, i'll catch up by next week
i guess we can watch all the isekais

okay

baraou
tensai ouji
kenja deshi
fantasy
pricon

There's also an episode of Kimetsu to watch, although we don't need Bang for that

baraou
okay
lets tat
start

This one is probably going to cater pretty hard towards a female audience
Not 100% on if that specifically means fujoshi
But defintely a female audience

While Shakespeare's Richard III might be a pretty fun thing to adapt, especially with how monstrous Richard can be in it
I think this series is going to be taking some considerable liberties with the original narrative

oh I can see the female pandering here

By the time Shakespeare's play starts, Richard is already a grown man who ends up being, I think, it's been a long time since I read the play, King Regent to his nephews, who are the righteous kings of Britain

Wow that was a pretty gay moment for a moment there

There seems to be a bit of a fey aspect to this which wasn't present in the original
The play's a pretty cut and dry historical fiction which interprets the real life of Richard III

stylistically, i'm interested, but if it's already this gay i'm worried it might be too gay for even me

Also Richard III in the play is an ugly, hunchbacked man
They're definitely trying to skirt around that by making this Richard sickly and with heterochromia, I think

Everyone in this series is unbelievably horny for him

Wait
What.

lol what

What.

well i didn't really expect that
i thought it was gonna be super gay

wait
what if it's double gay

I'd take it

wait THAT was THAT Henry
haha what

emo henry
haha

what the hell is going on

This is such a wild interpretation of Richard III
I did not expect that

alright i'm definitely down for this
this show is way crazier than i expected

he's looking kinda lelouch there

>>1014589
He might be a she?
I'm still not certain but Richard got half-groped in a scene that episode and the other person reacted, well

yeah that would be another good wild twist
this is pretty good

>>1014590
i was thinking he was looking really feminine in the chain scene
that was one of the ones that caught my eye as i was flipping through this to preview it

I was definitely not expecting much out of this and got way more than I was ready for
Man

they hinted at it earlier when that guy stopped richard from knifing themselves
>>1014594
yeah seriously

i think that will be hard to top for most crazy episode tonight

tensai ouji
okay
lets start

Good chance of it
Depending on how they take the crossbending show it might be wild but even still yeah
I don't think this one can be beat

This one sounds like it could be kind of fun though
At the very leasy -least I can empathize with wanting to get out of doing any work whatsoever

the zoom and the pan looked weird to me
maybe the framerate

oh yeah i'm hating this
that framerate was cancer
what the hell
is it supposed to look like that
is it the rip
what the hell

Yeah I don't really know
It was a neat stylistic trick but it didn't really work out that well

i'm wondering if it has to do with the rip and re-encode
maybe it didn't look quite like that on broadcast

the broadcast is analog, right
the bitrate could be the problem or something

that one girl seems to exist in the sideboob dimension

It's a good dimension to exist in

the character designs in this all look kinda generic

I think they're cute, if nothing particularly remarkable
And the way they're drawn on screen is clean and pretty consistent

*surprised soldiers*
*speed lines on the side of the screen*
lol

wow that last soldier was really freaking out

This doesn't really look like an easy win for him
Or even a feasible win

Maybe he's smart enough with tactics to even out the numbers balance

I was definitely expecting more comedy from the premise of this
Rather than political military theatre

oh
he died fast

Yeah that was surprisingly explicit for an anime

Hah hah hah
Hoisted by his own petard
Talk about burden of competence

i think the audio and video have desynced slightly for me
i'm guessing maybe it is a bad rip
wow she's still nyaa-ing

They have a kind of funny relationship

looks alright
i'll keep watching it
not particularly impressed or anything but it seems like it could grow on me
and it doesn't seem bad

I was definitely expecting more in the lines of Black Company with scumbag antics and karmic retribution
Instead it's closer to Genjitsu Shugi with the minutae of ruling a kingdom

okay
denja?
kenja
it was called kenja
okay
lets start

There's two shows this season with Kenja in the name hah hah
A season for sages, I guess

hope i'm watching the right one i guess

>>1014630
kenja no deshi
that one

oh ok cool

Yeah the other one's name starts with Shikkakumon or something
It' was one of the things we watched while you were flu'd up

I think this game's logo was very much Ragnarok Online inspired

that guy was definitely a power ranger

Wanting to be a Power Ranger is an admirable goal in life

dnblf

well he certainly seems to have an isekai sized harem

oh this is the one where he changes his avatar and then gets stuck in the game
i expect extremely little from this one

Shota prince!

Man imagine an actual MMO quest where the goal is to kill ten thousand monsters
That would be exhausting

haha he went back to brag about his roleplaying and show off his screenshots

Kind of relatable, isn't it

serious roleplayer

Yeah
Also sounds like they're being really thin about him being a Gandalf expy

Do the other major MMO players just leave their attendant NPCs or whatnot idling in the main town

everyone likes standing on mountains in this

Mountains are cool to stand on
And they're good defensive points

Horie Yui fairy girl

Hah hah hah
That's certainly a unique way to set the mood for your MMO conquests

I didn't expect we'd get so much time with him as the old man
Thought he'd get genderbent much faster

This is definitely isekai tier like
just absolute power

I wonder if he'll get nerfed when the incident happens

What I'm wondering is, it sounds like he gets stuck in the world of the game once he changes to a girl
But one of his IRL friends is the actual prince/king of the kingdom
Does his friend, and the other super powerful player characters, also get stuck in the game?
Do they become fantasy people who don't have any memories of being IRL people?
Are they just entirely absent?

The silent montage is kind of weird

it screams budget to me

Not to me
I think they're playing something with hiding what his voice and attitude is as a cute girl now

this is a pretty extended amount of time for the only audio channel to be music

hmm
would his friends get stuck too?
is this a stuck in mmo kind of show

Yeah, that's what I'm wondering
It's either they're stuck too, or they're fantasy people now
Like, maybe their personalities are similar to who they were
But they're now people who have always been in a fantasy world

well it's got me for two more episodes
probably not more

An admirable pursuit

we'll see how two is i guess
the montage was weird
at the end


fantasy
okay
lets start

It's pretty weird to get two genderbent shows in one season
Even weirder for them to air on the same day

yeah I guess this one is too
this one is ALSO isekai
so much isekai

>An old guy who's over thirty

alright
i don't think i can handle this premise actually

Man imagine falling in love with your best friend who's actually a guy but is now a cute girl

wait are they childhood friends too
idk i don't see myself lasting the whole episode

I think this is a pretty funny premise
Falling in love with your best friend is pretty standard genderbent romcom stuff

for reasons i'd rather not get into, the premise hits a little too close to stuff that isn't just romcom stuff to me

wow he's ultra handsome
I guess he is a lot more handsome than his friend

>>1014670
turning into a girl or being an ultra-handsome guy that isn't interested in girls?

>Every girl he's fallen for has been taken by his best friend
Ouch

>>1014671
someone i grew up with who ended up being very different as we aged
and some really troubling situations that arose from the less-than-standard circumstances
i really dislike this kind of stuff

His friend's also a pretty swell guy
What a gentleman

L E D ONNA

her clothes? body paint?
is very LED

>>1014673
Oh I think I get it
that's awkward

He turned to slime!
And now he's a she

With shark teeth

If you think about it, most isekai that follow this summoned to another world premise
Yeah
It's pretty often a scheme

he's smark
isekai is always a scam

I like this goddess

Oh no
Oh no

She cursed him to be absolutely in love with his friend
Oh it's the same for her too
Hah hah hah

This kind of thing is right up my alley

Imagine being called an old man by the time you're in your early thirties though

that thing looks like something out of eva

Kinda, yeah
There aren't many other places big cross imagery can be referenced from

this does seem like a pretty bad situation for htem

It's a great situation for me though!

He's such a good friend
And you know what they say
The best relationships start off as friends

he's been a girl for like 30 minutes and he's already acting like a thot

There's a kind of Kaguya-esque thing going on here
Where both parties are trying to guess things about the other without playing their hand too heavily and getting caught in a trap of their own making

Oh they ended up going with the princess carry anyway

Ah hah hah hah hah
>Oh it's kind of cute

I was just about to say that I like this monster
but I don't

how are they going to save this world

I like it even more now!

DO KI

Wow he WAN PANCH'd it

>is it dead

Wow, apparently not

I wonder if she has any special upgrades or if it's just Jinguuji who's OP

maybe the goddess made her useless
so he'd have to protect her and would be more likely to get feels

that's what i'd do

Yeah, definitely a good chance of that, hah hah

his character class is office worker

You know i'd watch this show if it was just him
isekai'd as a really powerful office worker

I like their dynamic

i would really like a show like that
and honestly the show executed things okay
i just can't really stomach the premise easily
would have to battle some demons i'd rather just not

Yeah this is still pretty okay
it's better than the other one

but I have a feeling it's exactly the kind of thing bang doesn't want to watch

if you guys wanna watch it, you still should
but i'd need a change of heart to want to continue

I really enjoyed it
Genderbent stuff is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine and the dynamic between the two characters is great

Also is thirty-two really being considered an old man

kinda yeah
we're old now, buddy
well not rika, rika's still 17 i think

I hate to break it to you, but in western society being in your thirties is considered middle age

What a horrifying fate
It's a good thing I'm not thirty yet!

thanks for anime
>>1014717
well imean the point of watching all of them is finding the good ones so it's alright

i'm curious about this richard III one
it seems wacky

well thanks for anime bang
sorry a couple of these shows aren't your taste

well
the ones early on were good
tonight definitely had the good stuff first

pricon
okay
lets start

I would still call Fantasy Bishoujo pretty good
There isn't really any reason for me to think it's bad or even mediocre

That got an anime?

I guess I'll reread the manga and start the anime soon.

I warmly anticipate new Kokoro :x faces

>>1014718
I didn't hate it
it wasn't the best thing this season but i'll continue to watch it

Karyl
Karyl

Did the mountain god show up?

I wonder if they'll do any of the plot of the mobage in this season
The first season kind of seems to exist as a bit of a filler between the prologue of the mobage and any of the actual story plot in it
Aside from some of the stuff towards the end

Oh and there he goes again
Poor Yuuki
Still can't even handle the most basic of monsters

It's kind of impressive how good he's gotten at playing dead when getting chomped on by monsters

That's two :x faces so far

Oh and they're all out for the count

There's a series of challenge dungeons in the mobage which kinda follow the arc of this episode
The Gourmet Guild goes out to some remote location on the hunt for some legendary ingredient or seasoning
Karyl is always despondent, but the others drag her along
You have to fight past a bunch of AI teams of other characters until you get to the final boss , which is a raid-type boss which often takes several passes to beat
And in the end the crew always gets a nice meal made out of whatever delicacy they found

karyl is my favorite

this was a good episode
both as stupid and crazy as i remembered with a nice moment at the end

Yeah it's great to see the charm of the first season still hits as hard years later

>>1014734
Out of the Gourmet Guild, Karyl's defintely mine too
There's a bunch of other really good characters in the series we haven't seen much of in the anime though

That's a really big turtle
How did it get stuck up there on that mountaintop anyway

Hah hah hah
What a final beat to end on

The food in this series also always looks really good
Except when it involves bugs

i haven't palyed the game in awhile
i need to look in on it

I played pretty hard for a while
Made it into the top thousand in the PVP system for a while
But I got kind of burnt out trying to stay on top of the work needed to stay there
I know they're doing some promo stuff because the game's coming up on its one year anniversary (at least in English) and also because this season is starting up
So it might be a good time to jump back in

it was a nice game, i may play it some more
that was an okay night of anime
pricon was good

thanks for anime

I liked most of the stuff we watched

Thanks for anime
See you tomorrow!
