Bang'll be around but needs twenty minutes or so
We could do Kimetsu no Yaiba or Orietn -Orient in the meanwhile

kimetsu
okay
lets start

Reaaaady

Tanjirou's been up against this Upper Moon by himself much longer than I was expecting
Maybe she's just been toying with him for a bit instead of seriously trying to fight him
But my impression of the Upper Moons is the three of the gang are way too unskilled right now to fight them on even terms

Yeah it's stuff like this
Which makes the Upper Moons feel absolutely beyond the capabilities of the main gang

oh no

Pretty crazy to see Tanjirou so absolutely enraged
Like he can get angry, of course, but he's normally such a gentle kid that to see him get angry feels kind of alien

I wonder what he's going to do now

BECOME THE HERO

Oh shit
She's squared off against
Well it looks like Tanjirou's dad, but I guess it could be an earlier ancestor

Oh it's not her but Muzan
So Tanjrou's family and Muzan have some history together
Neat

makes sense
he's always wanted tankirou dead
tanjirou

Tanjirou's getting some really great time in the spotlight this episode

She's got a pretty good survival strategy for not getting her head cut off

I'm still waiting to see Nezuko show up again
I want to see how she's developed as a demon

Damn Tanjirou

Oh he choked right at the end hah hah

oh come one
oh come on
just let him kill one

NE ZU KO

oh we havne't seen nezuko in forever

I have been waiting for the moment
Hah hah hah she's totally fine with the upper half of her head missing

So the pattern of Nezuko's kimono is considered a hemp-leaf pattern eh
Interestintg

Interesting even

i'm bang
and i'm here
and i'm preparing a hot cup of tea

Heyo
We've got about five minutes left in this episode

I'm really excited to see Nezuko go wild
I wanna see her thrash this Upper Moon around

tpokyo
hakuzone
leadale

then something not bang at the end


okay
tokyo
okay
lets start

There is a new show tonight, Koroshi Ai
It seems to be a romance thriller about two assassins who have to work together but also start falling for each other
We could maybe fit that somewhere in the middle and still finish on Leadale

orenji

this show seemed cool
i'm actually looking forward to this ep 2
>>1014958
>>1014957
i'm down to watch koroshi ai
and leadale last
if that's cool

>>1014959
>>1014958
we'll do that then

Aru Jii Bii

you can tell this guy listens to a lot of american pop punk because he's so good at emulating the whininess

Her circumstances are pretty ridiculous
Chasing your dog out onto the

rail lines through considerable police and employee presence
Definitely the kind of thing which would make the police curious

Very Yakuza-poi
Although I guess a lot of business managers in real-life Japan are Yakuza or Yakuza-affiliated at the very least

bro what is that even
100 pounds
i mean we don't know how many reps hes doin but
shit they coulda made it look a little heavier

Whenever stuff like comes up, I wonder if it's really something that happens in places like Japan, where houses might be close enough to have windows that basically open up to each other
It's certainly not safe to jump from window-to-window like that, but it's also defintiely not the biggest risk

it seems like asumi and blue kinda had some interest going on maybe
probably why blue was hit so hard

I think all three of the RGB had a kind of infatuation with her
Oh though I guess Green is her brother so maybe his was only familial
But well it's not unthinkable
But Red made her his whole motif so I think he was crushing on her too

Blue's definitely the only one who hasn't gotten over her in that sense though

dang that was a high quality thank you

Also Mari, the girl with the red hair, I think she was/is crushing on Blue while he was crushing on Asumi

asumi almost seems a little too good you know
they're really hyping her up

So that Yakuza-poi group isn't actually Yakuza
I guess they're like posers compared to the actual organizations
But still serious enough that the police are still monitoring them

legally operating companies can be just as scarier and worse for the community than even the yakuza though
apparently they're trying to do here what californian real estate monsters have been doing in my city

Plenty of Yakuza organizations operate paper companies like the one they're setting up here
It's less about the scariness and more the attitude and culture they seemed to have in that scene we got of them earlier
If the company isn't actually a Yakuza organization, they're trying to be one

but you could tell they were small time cause the yakuza in anime always have crazy penthouse temple-like facilities with super tall windows and golden statues

Yeah but realistically a lot of Yakuza groups operate out of relatively normal looking offices
They might live in high-rise penthouses but the management of the group happens in normal places

in anime, they're always operating in crazy fancy properties
they might not be allowed to be protrayed as being any lesser

So the school that burned down was abandoned anyway
A fire like that could have been just an accident of faulty wiring or other unmaintained parts of the building
Or it could have been arson on an uncared-for property

that's terrible sitting posture

especially if he's complaining about overeating
that seems super uncomfortable

oh wow it's over
somehow it felt like not a lot happened but it still went really quickly

so far i like it

i knew it
i KNEW IT
green's dad's company has something to do with all this
and it has something to do with green's mom too

i can FEEL it
it's gonna be like some NIGHT HEAD stuff i bet

okay
koroshi ai
okay
lets start

i didn't see very much about this one but from the cover art and the two sentences of the premise i read it looks kinda cool

It's genre'd as josei so I'm interested to see what kind of mood it has

well we're starting out with a lot of killing

What a romantic first encounter

what the hell

Hey a Blackberry!

well one of my main concerns was that it was gonna take itself too seriously
which it very well still could
but i think i can consider those fears allayed for now
allayed?
allaid?

yeah I guess they manage to become friends

I get the feeling they manage to become more than friends

her name is chateau
i don't know how i'd feel about being a house

DANKWORTH

When one's worth is pretty dank

Wow he's really smitten with her

isn't
what the
this is like really fucked up isn't it

I mean, sure, from a normal world perspective
But this is a serious about assassins and bounty hunters
I think a measure of fucked up is kind of the base level of things in the first place

i just mean like, sending that video
and her just kinda watching it and keeping it to herself
i'm thinkin she's kinda freaky
like scary freaky

I'm getting the feeling the guy he had tied up probably wasn't the most respectable person himself
But who knows
Maybe the guy just tied up some random civilian to catch her attention

damn i kinda want to go to a juice stand

the weird thing is
i kinda like this guy

He's admirable in his pursuit of love
Even if his methods are questionable

holy fuck

This mouthless kid's Japanese is really funny
I always wonder if that's really how gaijins sound like to the Japanese

they should probably be worried about being seen, right?

Well Chateau seems to be kinda small-scale, or at least relatively unknown
Maybe Chang-se should be a bit more careful, but there's also an argument for a somewhat unremarkable-looking guy like him disappearing into the crowds of a city

being small time in this line of work is dangerous too
someone might whack you and not think anything of it

I'm just working off the fact that Chang-se didn't recognize her when they first squared off with each other
At the top of the episode
She might be so unknown that the chance of being recognized is unlikely
Oh it's not Chang
Rya-something
I'm not as good with names that aren't Euro-American or Japanese hah hah

hmmm
i don't quite understand why but
i really like this
i feel like i shouldn't but i'm super curious

Interesting premise
you don't see this kinda thing very oftne

It's kind of hard to do a slightly serious story about assassins and do it well
I mean if you play up the edge or camp you can get some fun shounen or seinen action stuff
But generally if it involves people who kill for a living, I think viewers/readers can have a hard time sympathizing with the characters
So instead you take some of the edge off, or you go full campy edge like Black Lagoon

my brain is drawing a blank on what happened in the first episode of leadale

The main character was a hospital-ridden girl in her past life but then her life support failed and she died
And got isekai'd into the world of the VR MMO game she loved playing

okay
hakuzone
okay
lets start

Time for some acceptable police brutality!

oh this was the cop show
i liked this one

Yeah it was pretty fun

Well she did give them her phone number

She's wearing a business suit, I doubt she's a minor

but it is true that makeup makes it hard to put an age on girls

Ouch

Hah hah hah
They turned this girl who's been doing compensated dating into a source for men who are paying money for underaged sex

Man
Having a hundred partners by the time you're sixteen is pretty wild
Maybe she was exaggerating a bit but even half of that is a lot

Hmmmm

wow she could tell just like that huh

She does seem to be a bit of a Sherlock Holmes
But the way her step-dad was acting and the girl's reaction
Did also immediately send off a red flag in my head

Dweeb

well there were a lot of warning signs there

Yeah
Statistically, there aren't a whole lot of sixteen year olds who get really into things like compensated dating or prostitution without some serious sexual abuse or other horrible situations at home
The girl was a red flag case to begin with

uh

you know part of me wants to believe an japanese police officer would actually notice something like that and stop by out of worry
it's a hard sell though
as i don't think it's a normal cop thing to do
i know american cops are a whole special case but it's hard to imagine a cop being so nice
and worrying because a distraught lady is missing a sandal

I approach this show the same way I'd probably approach a police procedural on American live-action television
It's an inherently fictionalized presentation of the police force and involves personalities and behaviour you'd probably not see in real life
But, on the other hand, it could be we're just too far removed from Japanese daily life culture to have an accurate image of what ground-level police would act like

Hah hah hah wow
Imagine being a Shinsengumi nerd so hard you took up working in the bureaucratic part of the police force

they really ought to apologize for the pomps tho

No apologizing for nothing!
If you're going to grow a pompadour, you gotta own it!

i just had the sudden epiphany to rewatch gabriel dropout
weird

okay
leadale
okay
lets start

Isekky
Living an isekai in a comfy MMO world would probably be pretty nice
I think I'd definitely prefer a world like that than a realistic isekai world

i can't wait for slime 300 season 2

Oh right, the wine
>I'm never drinking alcohol again
Said everyone after their first hangover ever

i remember thinking something similar after my first blackout
man i have no memories of basically all of that night but my memories of the week after are really terrible
if you guys thought drunkard bang was bad, apparently blackout bang could ruin his whole life in a night

I've never managed to get black-out drunk
At the very least by the time I drink so much I'd not remember anything, I'm too sleepy and just, well, fall asleep

he's got a whole 42 hit points left
that's really a lot

what if this is one of those games where people have like 10k HP

didn't it say like 42/70 or 42/200 or something

oh i didn't see it

I didn't catch the max either
But yeah, even 42/200 is, well, you're not in great shape, but you're probably going to be okay

Wow, her NPCs seem to have done pretty well for themselves in the time since she's been ... asleep? Comatose? Away?

well he was 42/200 and poisoned
his chances there kinda depend on how poison works

Heh heh heh
Mew kindly

it's not very often you see catgirls that are old

yeah that was a rarity

she gave up on seeing him really easily

Pft
Imagine being called mom by a grizzly dwarf like this

oh she found another child though
he doesn't look like an elf

wow this is adorable

>>1015063
I think her kids are NPCs she made through some in-game character creator
So they're not actually kids, just adopted, kinda

they are but it's weird for an elf to have a dwarf as a child
everyone else in the room is probably like what

Oh he's the youngest of the kids too
He called both the elf and this Mai-Mai his older siblings

he's got a really suspicious wink

this guy really likes winking too

I think he's just a dork who doesn't know how to be charming

Oh he's a runaway prince

looks like it
and he's giving her a lot of toruble

They're handling that boat impressively well
Wasn't enough though

wow winking man really know his stuff

Yeah he's not such a bad guy

here's some trouble for her

Especially since she seems a bit easy to pressure into drinking hah hah

looks like her other two kids are elves

Yeah, after one being an elf and another being a dwarf, I kinda expected the girl to be a different race
But I guess she made two elf children, got bored with the race, and jumped over to dwarves

10/10 i love this show

This is one of my favorites so far, yeah
probably best comfy show of the season so far

My money's on Slow Loop for that, but it might need to get into the swing of things
Also Sono Bisque Doll once they start getting to the actual cosplay clothes-making

i love lappland

thanks for anime!
wait
was that 5 shows

oh yeah you guys watched kimetsu

oyasumi~
