okay
girls frontine

is bang here and ready?

okay
lets start

ROBOTS

I keep looking at first for this show in the D part of my downloads because my brain keeps thinking it's Dolls' Frontline

>>1017896
Not sure

>>1017893
Are youuuu alive

sorry i had to enter the getting ready for anime dimension
i'm ready

Surely there's a better tool to use for carving parts out of a robot than a knife

codename sugar cube
hey tilde do you want a code name

Not particularly, no

okay sugar cube

Isn't there a gun that's a cat that dropped so much she became a meme

Not entirely sure what he was asking there

>>1017903
Oh maybe that's it
I don't know the gun you're talking about though

i still think SoL is the only good format for a gacha adaptation

oh yeah

IDW da nya

I guess this is the cat he was talking about though

The player character commander looks nice

They've spent a fair bit of time on this recovery mission for the AR team
At least that's what I'm assuming it's been since the player commander showed up
The show's been a bit unclear on what's precisely going on

drinking gun oil

MG3's are cool
they're basically just MG42's with some very minor changes, and in 7.62 nato
you can adjust the fire rate so you can still have them fire at ludicrous speed even though it's not really the practical way to do it

Putting the boob in the booby trap

she's getting bounced around

Scarecrow wields her gun almost like it's a club or a blade
Rather than, y'know
A gun

i thought scarecrow was the other one

Maybe
I'm still learning the names here

i only remembered cause scarecrow was cuter than this badguy

the anime is still tracking the game story pretty well

Geez that's quite the anger issues on a robot

eh

The player commander kinda reminds me of Riamu from time to time though
Visually I mean
Which is a real character dissonance

hahahahahaha
riamu as a military commander

okay
baraou
okay
lets start

my coworker doesn't know what to make of this show
tbh i'm not really 100% sure what to make of it either
just that it's crazy and i think i enjoy it

Rose-coloured king

Dude that's hella gay

well yeah
they're british

Oh someone from Ali Project is working on this OP
None of the vocalists obviously
But I guess they have some composers or lyricists who provide input

hahahaha

Hopefully Richard is turning this bloodthirst towards the Lancasters and not the Yorks

blood!

I don't really remember if Richard had a wife in the Shakespeare play
But in the play he was also a hunchbacked goblin of a man and probably impotent anyway
So even with a wife, no children

Marry me like one of your French ladies

Well I guess that clearly lays out what Richard is
Enough beating around the bush

Man
Once upon a time when Scotland was considered a foreign land from England

i can't remember
was there a move to stay with the UK only if they left the EU
or was it to stay with the UK only if they stayed
obviously one happened, but i remember scots being all uppity about breaking from the rest of the UK and it had something to do with brexit

There was some build up towards it, maybe some murmuring in the Scottish parliment
But there was never a formal submission
The UK parliment basically said "You tried this like four years and (and sure it was under entirely different circumstances) so no dice, losers"

well i think they only vote on it every while and again

wow this pinning scene

Yeah but she's got him pinned now too
Pinned for DEATH

Poor Warwick here
Just trying to keep the Yorks in power even if they're all complete idiots

if the author really wants to channel shakespeare (and they seem to)
then we already know that the people trying to be good will suffer
and the people trying to be bad will also suffer
lots of suffer

Doesn't help that the original Richard III is a tragedy
Shakespeare's comedies generally only had the awful suffer any lasting degree
But yeah when he wrote a tragedy you can definitely expect it to suck for characters all across the board

A lot of peopel in shakespeare were just awful though
so there was a lot of suffering

vanitas
okay
lets start

Awful, or genuine idiots
Which I think in Shakespeare's age was probably considered a sin so they were free targets for mockery and suffering

vanitas! vanitas! vanitas!
minutes, hours, and days are merely obligations to be waited through
so that i can watch vanitas and leadale

orange

Nice

haha
uh
what

i wonder how noe would react upon walking in that room

He strikes me as a blush, stammer, do a 360 and walk away kind of guy

and then after he leaves, he rushes back to apologize and then leaves again

vanitas without the book of vanitas is a pitiful thing to see

He's just an unusually athletic brat at that point

i guess since he's always wearing so much clothes, you'd never see all the scars

He still refused removing the glove though
So there's yet a part of his body that's a mystery

These two really have a rather wild relationship

whoa

vanitas atoy
aoty

Cute

jeanne is going supernova

She is really down bad for Vanitas by this point

oh vanitas

together they make a whole vampire and human

>>1018000
moshi moshi

punished astolfo
a vicious trap without a quarry

I'm pretty sure he's got a quarry this time

vanitas is doing a whole knife standoff by himself

OH
i just remembered
noe is a sleeper cell

Wow you can't just suck a man's blood without permission like that

what a way to wake up

It's really not all that bad a way to wake up I guess

dang i thought season 1 was a good time but damn season 2 goes hard

That cat's the real mystery here
How and why is it constantly following Noe around everywhere

what if the cat is vanitas prime
or his teacher
probably just a cat tho

hmm

Oh and here's everyone's good friend
The weird Anti-Spiral leader of the evil group

oh no

also this is still like a really long time in the past isn't it

i'm probably gonna read the vanitas manga
after this season ends
>>1018027
ready

time for organization!

genjitsu
oaky
lets start

>>1018022
Kinda hard to pin at this point
That thread hasn't really been pulled on since of the quick set up in episode one

Is Souma's plan to give him back Van but then demand it as reparations for war

i think the whole point is that borders aren't supposed to change under the pact
at the very least i think the people of Van will absolutely refuse to oppose Elfrieden at this point
so when Prince Angry takes back his city, and then tries to be a little shit
he might even end up deposed

>This makes us look like a defeated nation
Man who leads a nation defeated in war

>Your nation will set the precedent.
holy fuck she's brutal

This guy went crying to the empire because his nation got smacked around
And ended up with the cruel reality that the empire is no one's friend but its own

Guess Julius takes after his dad in the idea that all that matters is military conquest
Casually throwing away the books in his castle's library

He's being a really hard negotiator

Hah hah hah
One last dig at Julius

I wonder if Amidonia will end up collapsing proper and Julius' sister will end up ruling it as a vassal of Souma

The problem with citing Machiavelli is that he was kind of more a satirist than an actual political thinker
Although I guess the line blurs eventually

wt ew arrr nooooooooooooooooooooooooo AAHH

look man
people bring up machiavelli
and you kinda just gotta think of it as the machiavelli people think there was
not the one who really was

Machiavelli's work was very layered
it layered satire upon truth
The satire was missed by the intended audience
I imagine most Japanese visual novel writers also do not appreciate the satire that Machiavelli layered upon his work as well

it was truly post-ironic satirical irony

there's also the fact that in practice, taking machiavelli's blueprint for tyranny at face value can even produce non-satirical results
further causing misconception and blurring the original intent

Yeah that's definitely the biggest problem
In attempting to make satire, he ended up making the most perfect satire that instead perfectly reflected reality

O N E E S A N P O W E R

man albert wasn't really that bad was he
was it his fault
i mean i guess he really likes getting his ears cleaned
maybe he shirked duties for that

the industrial revolution!

The gist I got about Albert is he was bumbling and feckless
Would fold too easily under diplomatic pressure and couldn't process all the information needed to rule the kingdom

oh are they engaged
did i forget about that

I think they were engaged when Souma became king, so that he could be it legitimately
He tried to dissolve it but she refused his offer

Can a doll in a kigurumi even drink liquor
Or is that actually Souma in the costume

that amidonian princess was grabbing souma's arm in that ED card

Yeah, the few times she showed up in the first season, she seemed to be acting as a sort of spy
So I get the feeling she's got an MO of being a bit flirty in her information obtaining

can we pour one out for liscia's hair

rip her hair

okay
the occasion of the night
sono bisque

we made good time tonight

okay
lets start

good thing too
i have a lot of work in the morning

I don't want the morning to come I don't want to go to work!

Nails that long always give me a bit of anxiety

this background music is unsetlling
settlientg
settling

oh now it's getting better
the music is
at least

This is why you don't spend a whole Sunday playing eroge

keeping the pace from last ep i see

He cheated on his one true love!

yeah so if i ever say i'm dropping this show it's not because i'm dropping this show

This series seems to have been really popular all across the anime-watching board
There's been a boatload of Marin fanart that's come out
Having followed the series since early on when it started getting manga scanlations I'm just really happy

Look at mister popular all of a sudden

she's really pursuing him
even i would be looking for solace

he's just losing his spaghet

He's still got to get over his self-conscious nature
It's not a wholly unrelatable mindset

i thought his actions were mostly understandable until he was squatting by those bushes like a weirdo

Wow they subbed all the notes he wrote for the outfit design
My eyes are kinda fuzzy right now so they're all hard to read

they can probably expend a little more on this show because it's kinda blowin up
man we're probably going to get heaps of doujin material from this anime airing

This series does for cosplay what a lot of those hobbyist SoL shows do for their particular hobby
It's one of the reasons I really liked it when I started reading it
There's a bunch of little details you'd only get from someone who's big on it

i'm willing to bet japanese specialty wig shops are the absolute cutting, bleeding edge of wig technologyt

Her style is so gaudy
that's my only complaint about the show
I hate the super long nails
I keep my nails pretty trimmed cause i hate how inconvenient it is to have super long naisl
imagine tryign to type on a keyboard with those nails

Like I said above, just looking at long nails makes me uneasy
My imouto grows her nails out sometimes and just looking at them boths me

But Marin is supposed to be a gyaru and her aesthetic is pretty much right in the modern gyaru look

the nails were actually my main complaint too
short nails aren't just really inconvenient, they also just look better imo

her ear situation bothers me a bit too
waaay overboard

especially the ear bar

SHI TA GI

>>1018091
That's another big gyaru thing to do
Funnily enough, I can look at it fine in anime
But in real life, piercings like that are incredibly distracting to me
I don't dislike them but for some reason my magpie brain can't ignore them

also this is how you get banned from these types of shops

i'm okay with the ears
the ear bar is a bit more than i like but multiple earrings are fine by me

i'm glad that other people also think she's terrifying

>>1018094
Speaking from experience~?

As in knowing people it's happened to, yes
I'm a rule follower though

I imagine it's very annoying for the staff when people bring their boyfriends and won't stop doing lewd stuff around the dressing rooms

Probably yeah
But I also figure most Japanese staff wouldn't throw you out unless you were pretty much in the booth having fun together

if you're japanese maybe

I can't wait until we get to the actual cosplaying

Depending on how much time they spend on tailoring the outfit next episode, we might see her wearing it
It's been a couple years since I read these first chapters I'm a bit fuzzy on the timeline

i imagine the level of work he intends to put into the outfit is more than two weeks' worth

also i imagine if he were to render his skills as a paid service, it would probably be quite expensive
he's doing it out of passion and i'm assuming subconscious interest, but professionals charge quite a bit for this kind of thing, don't they?

He also doesn't have to pay for the materials since Marin's footing the bill
I think it's a pretty good deal

>>1018108
I think they technically do, but the costs are incorporated into what they charge the person who orders the outfit

professionals don't pay for the materials either!
things like that are absolutely not at their own expense
they're wrapped up into the cost of the service

that would be like saying my company pays for window film
we provide a service of installation, and our bank account is the one that sends money to the companies that make the film
but the customer is absolutely the ones paying for it

If he was getting paid on top of not having to buy the materials himself, sure, it wouldn't matter
But he's getting to pretty much experiment free of monetary cost, in a skill he's got some supporting skills for already

i'm not talking about whether he should feel a need for recompense or not
i'm just saying, professionally tailored cosplay from a specialist is some pricey stuff

Yeah, and I'm saying he's pretty lucky to be able to start exploring the trade pretty much free of cost

i don't really see having developed a skillset as luck though

The opportunity to do cosplay tailoring was definitely luck though
He could have kept on apprenticing under his granddad learning how to make Hina dolls, and be happy with it
But this is a whole new avenue to explore

thanks for anime!

boy i sure can't wait to work tomorrow...

that was a nice episode
thanks for anime

Yeah, thanks for anime!
Good luck with the work week
