Orient

bang tonight?

He was posting in the general thread about the same time you popped in so I can't imagine he doesn't know
I'll ping him either way

i look away for five minutes and BAM
anime
my coworker says genius prince gets better
but my coworker also likes orient so idk if its real

I could also see Orient as a case where "it gets better"
Even if I don't think I'd particularly like it
Magi was praised really highly for its worldbuilding and cast of characters and generally seemed well-liked
So even if Orient starts off weak they might get into the swing of that too
I couldn't get into Magi in the first place though so regardless I just don't think that mangaka's writing is particularly my thing

orient to me screams aloud from the tallest tower "i really need to make a shounen so i'm just gonna slap one together and roll with it"
i don't really feel creative wealth emanating from that show

I dunno if a single episode of content is really a good basis for such a resolute conviction

is kenja no deshi still a bang show?
that's the one where gandalf turns into a girl

yeah i said i'd give it three i'm pretty sure
the one i don't like is where that childhood friend turns into a girl and it's obvious they're supposed to be romantically entagled

okay

tensai ouji

Fantasy Bishoujo was like the best thing from last Tuesday's new stuff

turns out that your childhood friend turning into a girl and showing feelings for you is actually a nightmare and a great way to ruin a friendship
but real life isn't anime so i guess if people enjoy that then whatever

I think the concept of turning into a girl is a topic that the three of us will have wildly different opinions on that are all valid and affected by the circumstances of our lives

tensai ouji!
okay
lets start!

ouji who may or may not be tensai

I'm hoping we get more scumbaggery this episode
There was too much resigned competence last time

I like this song
It doesn't feel particularly befitting of this series but the sound is really in my alley

it's definitely a pretty boppin track

Oh yeah this was also a series that went surprisingly ham with the commander of his forces taking the actual head of the opposing army's

yeah this was a weird
one
kinda

The premise gave me more of like, a Meikyuu Black Company vibe
But it ended up being more of a military-political drama
A -We've gotten a lot of war content in just two episodes

Very reminiscent of the Battle of Thermopylae, romanticized in the tale of the three hundred Spartans
While it's highly likely the Grecian forces numbered a fair bit more than just the three hundred, Thermopylae was/is still a very narrow pass of land where a limited number of Greeks could hold the land very effectively against the larger Persian army

dying in a mineshaft would be so terrible
i can hardly imagine a more terrible death than being in a collapsed space like that

oh well i guess there's waking up covered in a burning tent
war sucks

Yeah
Turns out there's really no not-terrible way to die
I guess there's ways to placate the emotional part of it
But the physical death is always going to be miserable

What a crass person

Oh boy, casual racism
Looks like that was more than enough to get him actually mad though
I wonder if this will make him re-evaluate his plans

This series really doesn't fuck around, man

commander vs commander
how cool

do NOT fuck with this guy's waifu

I think he's now stuck with a useless gold mine though
The plans of suing for peace kind of went awry with killing the commander

Oh I guess it ends up not being totally useless

Having to look after a whole-ass kingdom you don't really want to must be a real pain though

okay
kenja
okay
lets start

I'm still curious to see what the fate of the other player characters of his friends is like
Did they also get isekai'd into this world or are their characters now fantasy people

dang that salad looks pretty yummy

i kinda want some tomatoes now
why does anime food have such an effect on me

anime food looks great

Oh he made contact with his prince friend pretty fast

It's a cautionary tale about character creators

Probably not cautionary enough to stop me!

Seems like they're all stuck in the world too
But the rest got a thirty year head start on him/her

Very Log Horizon-poi

"Washi" is a fun way to refer to yourself

Surely this is a strong argument for why all bathrooms need locks

Everyone's all down with the fantasy roleplay until you actually have to live in the world
And then you start rolling out the modern-tech immediately

i was wondering about all the factory-looking buildings
i guess solomon industrialized

ANOTHER isekai where they're driving around in an armored vehicle in the desert
why does this theme pop up so often

Well do you really want to walk around in a desert?
Horses or other similar kinds of transportation aren't much better
If you're capable of modernizing and getting access to proper motor vehicles, you might as well

that's a really big fucking chicken holy shit

It's just a big chicken

also no match for gandalf-chan

wowza

For your average soldier a giant chicken is probably a pretty big threat
Nevermind one whose eyes can turn you to stone

mecha-knight-demon vs demon-chicken-zilla

solomon seems to be making the most of being isekai'd

A respectable choice
If you're stuck in a fantasy world, you might as well have fun

this show's alright
i'll keep watching

thanks for anime

Night Bang
Thanks for anime

yeah it's a pretty average isekai
doesn't pay too much attention to the protagonist's change in identity
I guess the author just wanted a protagonist who was literally gandalf but also a little girl

thanks for anime bang


fantasy bishoujo
okay
lets start

Isekai where the protagonist is a guy isekai'd into a girl's body are getting a bit more common lately
I see a fair bit of chatter about one series or another that use the trope

well, kinda just seems like an incidental fact in kenja
I have a feeling fantasy bishoujo is going to fetishize it more

Oh yeah, most don't seem to make a particular plot line out of it
At most it's usually something they need to get over in the first dozen or so chapters and then it's fine

Because of the romance in this one I do imagine struggling with the new identity is going to be a consistent part of it

I like her shark teeth
I don't know why she has them, especially since she was a very normal-looking person as a guy
But they're cute

probably just something the author likes

>we need to get some clothes from this world
I hope he does not change out of his suit

Judging from the OP, he doesn't, hah hah
She seems to get a variety of things to wear though

Now she's getting abducted
Yeah this is the danger of being too beautiful!

yeah I don't think anyone would want to be this pretty

I dunno it seems a bit fun
In the way chaos is exciting

I guess he's always had high stats

Yeah sounds like it
Although I highly, highly doubt he was at the point of punching a hole through a beam-firing bear back in their original world

What a good friend

His condition really is getting worse and worse
Oh wow he just judo-threw her away

wow that was a powerful attack

She's still refering to herself as "ore"
If she ever loses that she's probably doomed

Hah hah
It's a bit hard to tell what's actually there and what's supposed to be viewer-side comedy here
But I guess they can see all the game-y UI stuff

Oh she's getting excited about her cuteness powers now

yeah
dangerous road

The translated title for the series uses "reincarnated" to describe the MCs situation but I don't know if that's entirely accurate
At least in my books you need to die before you're actually reincarnated

I don't really think you need to die to be reincarnated really, do you?
not to conform with the meaning of the word

re incarnated


kimsetsu
okay
lets start

I guess not, yeah
But there's also the current prospect of the series that their quest involves him getting his male body back
Which wouldn't make it a new incarnation but just a temporary body swap
Reincarnation is kind of a one-way path
Of course the broad scope of the series probably means reincarnation is correct, but still

I wonder why Nezuko took so well to Muzan's blood
At the least it doesn't seem like he just overly imbued her with it
But she's fighting on par with the Upper Moons

I really like Nezuko's explosive blood powers though
That's a real cool one

She's really getting into the battoru though, gosh
Probably not good for her stablity as a controllable demon

wow she is wigging out
kinda evil smile

oh
she may have hurt a person a little bit?
or maybe she's hungry

I imagine she's always hungry, and it's the weird imprinting she did on Tanjirou which helps her stay controlled
But these circumstances understandably pushed her to the point of breaking

Man imagine how fucking weird this is for all the normal people they're encountering hah hah

Oh Uzui finally shows up
Good news for Tanjirou and Nezuko

Oh wow

That sounds like a pretty cute lullaby
Probably sounds much better when the singer isn't struggling with a rampaging demon
Ah yeah here's a better take of it

she's a baby again

Yeah tiny mode!
And then she fell right asleep

Wow Uzui, you made a girl cry

Oh well that's unpleasant

wow
she's really just a crybaby in the end

Yeah
I wonder if her onii is the real Sixth Lower Moon
Or if he's another one er, I meant Sixth Upper Moon
But I //
Yeah
He also had the Upper Sixth mark on his eye
So I guess he's the real one

yeah he totally is
she's a weakling

Well compared to Uzui, a proper Hashira
She was giving the rest of them a real run for their money
Plus until she's properly out for the count her obi is still probably going to be a real problem

That was really good
I'm excited to see how the rest of this fight goes

okay
skikkkikkkikkk
oh
yeah
takagi
okay
lest start

Oh whoops I forgot to ask
Did you want to do Takagi-san to close out on something comfy tonight?

All right, ready when you are

Very Looney Toons-poi
These skits that are basically timed to a musical score

HAHA
oh caps
but haha
I was thinknig looney toons too

It's probably where they got the inspiration!
Especially among animators, I think there's a lot of appreciation for western culture

It's a cute bit too, since it shows what kind of work goes into Takagi being able to mess a bit with him

keeps the VA bill low

Oh that was a good use of playing with the silence too hah hah
Breaking it right at the end really levelled up that bit

She keeps her books and stuff all nice and piled up
His was kinda just splayed over the desk

>Feel free to take a surprise check on me anytime
Wow Takagi, how forward

Library cards, eh
I wonder when this manga is supposed to be set
It's defintely kind of a timeless setting, but with library cards it feels like it's also an older setting

Hah hah hah
DINOSAURS

Takagi please

Takagi please

This won't end well for him
never does

Maybe
But maybe it'll also help him surpass his limits!

He's actually impressively athletic for a middle school kid

As far as people who he keeps losing to go, he could do far worse than Takagi

well thanks for anime
see you tomorrow

Yep, thanks for anime!
Have a nice night, Rika
