okay
lets start

DORIFUTO

Wait wrong setting

r g b

I was thinking bragging about buying out cabbage was kind of a pathetic boast for wannabe Yakuza
But I guess their boss is well aware of it

those foldable phones seem cool but also i feel like i'd break one pretty fast

Man those abs

>>1016814
They're kind of a hard sell on me
Both because I doubt their durability and the size feels unwieldy for a phone

it doesn't help that they're prohibitively expensive
i might not mind the size so much if i had a desk job
might get annoying at my job right now though
the durability is the real kicker for me

Although I also learned recently that the probably instinctive way to hold your phone, with the bottom of it supported with your pinky finger, is actually really bad for your hand's muscles
It fucks with a specific set of muscles and can potentially cause long-term pain
Since then I've been trying to hold my phone with two hands anyway, so maybe the unwieldy problem isn't really such a big deal

they break all the time

>with that rod that looks like a crowbar
that IS a crowbar
what the hell was that about

I think that's a kind of humour that pops up occasionally in Japanese media
It's not the first time I've heard a joke with that set up

that car behind them feels kinda sus

oh i want stall food
always looks so good

Yeah especially some okonomiyaki

hahaha his mom is strangling him

I could also go for some pizza right now
I slept all evening again so I missed out on making dinner before anime
So I'm pretty hungry

i like this shady sarg guy

This guy at least acts more like a Yakuza than a bunch of his mooks

Kita koreeeeeeee
I've been waiting for another one of these

Hah hah what
How does a tornado form in Tokyo Bay

That's true, tornadoes don't happen there
I wonder if there's an enemy out there doing that stuff

Maybe there's some kind of irony
Like the fact that they've made a whole artificial landmass in the bay messes with air patterns and has increased the possibility of tornadoes
But the pre-existing weather right now, a nice, cloudless day with no apparent excessive wind, doesn't really imply a tornado will naturally form

I suspect it's an artificially-created tornad-

What

is a tornado really gonna happen?
i'm a little confused
i feel like this is a trick or something

oh wow

what the hell

Blue's powered up state from whatever this is definitely is the most intense
The other two just kinda have improved athletics and a heightened state of thought
Blue gets fully on superhuman strength

yeah that's definitely a tornado

no no no no no NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
HE WAS SHOWING DEATH FLAGS EARLIER AND I FELT IT
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That's probably really going to fuck with Kozue
She was the one that Asumi died trying to rescue too
And now the first time she tried not being a hikki
Her dad dies

not like this....

ummm
alright
well
this show just got a bit different

They've got red, blue, and yellow motifs on the mask
A bit different from RGB, but RBY is also considered another primary colour trio

i didn't want kaba to die
he was a good guy
but when he was leaving his house earlier i was like "oh god i hope he's not about to get whacked or something"
this isn't how i thought he'd die
i was hoping he wasn't gonna die at all

I kinda had a feeling some enemmies were behind it

okay
koroshi
okay
lets start

Same really
The masked person also used the same quote Asumi uses when prompting RGB to take action
So she, or whoever/whatever's using her voice, is either working in conjunction with this masked person
Or knows what they're trying to do and is working to stop it

serial killer love story

It's not really serial killing if you're making a business out of it

Quite a lengthy flashback for stuff that happened in the first episode

no op though?
flashbacks are the most effective as tools of first-time viewer retention more than anything else, specifically on the second and third episodes
in fact they mostly only serve that purpose so
oh OP time
hmm
hard to tell then
i thought maybe they sac'd the OP for the flashback

Poor guy
Can't even get a minute

Oh yeah Blackberry phones
Feels really weird seeing them in 2022

Hah hah hah
She's pretty metal
Gets her tire shot out and her first impulse is to ram the guy

Well now don't go killing innocent civilians

normally that would be a good way to translate what he said but there it would probably be better to use the more literal sense of the word

good deed was punished

... Is the woman who was in the car with her all right?
Surely you should try and get her out of the car if she's not dead

i'm assuming she's entered the pancake dimension

Oh the truck driver's not dead at least
Just a little inconvenienced

that looked like a rib breaker

She's not very good at the part of the job where she needs to go up against veteran assassins
I guess she is a rookie to the scene though

Man now she needs to get a new phone
What good is doing that

Well I guess that answers my previous question

Turtlenecks are great
Very cute choice of fashion

this show has a certain vibe to it that reminds me of live-action tv dramas or thrillers
it's anime but not very anime
just a little bit here and there

I wouldn't be surprised if, if not intentional, it's a creative inspiration for the writer
Especially with the western setting of the series, I get the feeling the writer's watched a lot of American dramas

love of kill

good series
haha
i wonder if the next episode is just in a room

hakozone
okay
lets start

From vigilante justice to assassins to police
A bit of a theme to a lot of Wednesday's shows

It's a bit funny that the bit of text at the start of the episode saying how it's a work of fiction and the characters aren't meant to represent any real-world people gets subbed as "This is a work of fiction ..."
We all know what it's saying so no need to subtitle it all

She really has a tendency to speak kind of harshly to people
At least when it won't be a job complaint to do so

you know
i never thought about that

I can kind of understand where she's coming from
Crime is still inadvisable, but she does have a somewhat sympathetic viewpoint

wait why are there so many old lady villains
what the hell

This old lady is annoying

why's she like cauliflower head so much

Because he's a pretty boy who was polite to her and gave her attention

wow she's so easy

Man I could go for an ice cream bar

you're tellin me bro
the way those ice cream bars crunched too
damn

Oh fuck
Now a katsudon would really hit the spot right now

that dude looks like minamoto

oh he is

Maji uze

Nice kid

I was aobut to say
they aren't dressed very nicely
I guess that's the reason why

Sure must be nice to be Criminal Affairs instead of the grunt police
And be -And have uniforms like that which are more suitable to grisly work

They're certainly not avoiding some of the more unpleasant parts of this job

wow imagine having something like that be your first time seeing the body of the opposite sex

oh maybe they were expecting bedsores
and there were none

There's a fair bit of fishiness around this
A few of them seem to have caught on too

Looks like yeah, they were looking for bedsores.
You can stave off bedsores with good care but they're pretty hard to battle.

That kind of bow-legged way Japanese delinquents walk always kinds of gets me
It looks goofy

imagine //
i imagine dealing with someone who is in their last days takes a really terrible toll on someone
i don't want to think about how awful that must be

leadale
okay
lets start

Finally we get to step away a bit from law and order and other shades of justice

this is what i'm really here for
leadale time

Another episode start, another hangover
I wonder if she's going to make a habit of this hah hah

All of her children are really enamoured with her

glomp

she is a good bit smaller than her kids

she's a little taller than the dwarf at least

Did they learn anything

oh wait
so they dont' exist in a video game world
only she does?

Seems like it's a Log Horizon situation
The only people with the ability to interface with the game's mechanics are the player characters
Just that so far she's the only player character we've seen

Kid's honest when it comes to food at least

so much slobber

HITOGAMI
oh

The thought of MMO services ending is always a bit sad
Even to the end there's almost always people who are fond of the game

MMOs don't shut down very often fortunately

well thanks for anime bang

hmm?
oh
I guess I got faked out

Rika there's like four minutes left in the episode

I do really like the "hahaue-dono" way of calling people mom

he cried ice

Wow isn't this child abuse

hey it wasn't a hangover this time

thanks for anime~

Night Bang
Thanks for anime

thanks for anime
bang

okay
shikkkkkkkkkkkk
okay
lets start

I think you just enjoy playing with all the k's in this title's name

Oh yeah he thrashed a demon at the end of the first episode
And almost got caught up being a landed lord for his efforts

>All the rights to the resources in the kingdom's dungeons
That feels like an excessively big ask, even if he did kill some kind of serious evil
But I guess he was banking on them not knowing how valuable it was
And it paid off

wow he got appointed leader of the fight agianst the demons

Yeah
This series feels like it has a lot of the kind of corny power-tripping that some isekai are prone too

For such a cute girl she has a somewhat brutish approach to things
Enchanting weapons so that you can just smash through walls is a fairly straightforward apporach

yeah this is super power trippy
a little too much

but still not bad
lots of isekai this season

I'm pretty sure the genre is still going strong in Japan
That's not particularly a problem for me but I would rather something a bit, hm
Well-written's not quite what I'm trying to say here
But there's silly, power-trippy isekai which are fun and fulfilling to watch
And this doesn't quite hit that spot

yup it's a little too much

okay
well thanks for anime, see you tomorrow

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