Sorry I was absent last night
I went for an evening nap and my phone ended up nestled between pillows rather than somewhere in the open
So I slept through all alarms and didn't wake up until seven hours or so had passed
Which I guess indicates I was more exhausted than I thought I was
It's been a really stressful and tiring two weeks, in a few ways

tokyo
koroshi
kenja
tensai oujo
toky

the last one needs to be leadale

Or we could watch Tokyo twice

tokyo
okay
lets start

Oh yeah this really hit a downer note last episode

the villain revealed himself

Well kinda
We got a name, a mask, and a modded voice

Oh, twelve casulties eh
I guess it's a pretty reasonable number considering the circumstances
But we really only explicitly saw one

WAKE ME UP

I really like this extended bit in the OP where the camera's circling around a character and it's continually changing who the character is
It's a cool stylistic thing

Heh
DRUG
D

imagine being addicted to the D

Can't be me

the way they animated that was really cool
that was sick

my mans just did a roundhouse kickflip

Through a window, into an actual person
That's a crime in many ways, even if the target is a suspected drug dealer

I too enjoy being the kind of person who doesn't come out once I've shut myself in

Oh yeah, Kozue
She's probably in a fucked up state right now

kozue going out
especially after what happened
i hope she's not doing drugs because of the pain

We haven't gotten to know Kozue very well so it's a bit hard to tell if she's just a sharp person in the first place or if this is 100% the guilt and pain of her dad's death

You know when that guy dropped down like that I kinda expected him to be dead at first

yeah same

Honestly, highly addictive and makes the users unpredictable and violent
I know there's a synthetic drug that has pretty similar symptoms hah hah
I'm blanking on the name though
It was getting popular in Florida a few years back I think

Oh well this is quite the contemporary criticism of modern data handling

Oh.
Awwww
She was looking for this art because Red's been commemorating her dad in it
That's really kind of sweet

Also a relief that she's not doing drugs to cope with her grief

I don't know if I can entirely agree with the idea that a place that's basically a slumtown deserves to exist because it's seedy and gives "murky waters" to those who need it to thrive in
Of course handing the land over to a developer to turn into a casino is probably worse
But I think it's better to work to improve the area as a place to live than have it be a shantytown

that's like a sky turtle

I know there's a real life phenomenom with visual illusions like that
Can't remember what it's called though

This one's a sneaky set up
Oh it looks like Red knows it
Yeah it's obviously his friend

The way it was presented, obviously you stop the terrorist and save the ship
But when you have a personal relationship with the terrorist, just letting him die doesn't really work

i see

On the other hand, so far the whole point of these missions have been for RGB to find a third option which is better than either of the two choices presented
So it's almost asking them to save Kunai along with the people he plans to blow up

koroshi
okay
lets start

this part was super cool
where they had big guy kicking down the door in the background
and then throwing the punch
and then in the forefront is a seperate angle of druggie getting punched

Yeah there's some really cool cinematic stuff going on in this show
The director's having a lot of fun with transitions and shots

koroshi

That poor lady who was in the back of her car
As far as we know she was just a civilian caught up in someone else's awfulness

This show really likes its extended recaps at the top of an episode

Maybe she isn't a morning person
But considering her circumstances it could just be a lingering concussion from the car crash

I'd say he's correct about something not being right about him
But this seems to be a mafia family or some other shady organization
So I dunno if it really matters if something's off

AND NEITHER CAN YOU

I wonder if he went on to butcher the rest of that organization
Although just their mentor would be more than enough to explain why Hou wants him dead I guess

damn those cream puffs are huge!
what the heck

I want big cream puffs

Honestly putting his own safety on the line is probably the least of his concerns
He already lives a hazardous lifestyle anyway

landline?

There's a handful of weird, almost anachronistic stuff like that in this series
Although having a landline might be useful for her line of work

>>1018891
with a big hot chocolate and cinnamon

chateau has it really rough

Yeah he's kind of a right pain the ass

real face

kenja
okay
lets start

he might be kind of annoying and also he kills a lot of people and is not overall a very admirable person
BUT
it seems to me like chateau was probably going to die to some other target considering how much skill she's shown so far
and if she hadn't missed him at the beginning of episode 1, and had instead collected the bounty on him
maybe she wouldn't actually be better off than she will be with him around
also she's clearly not alright at this point
she's got like
big issues she needs to work through

>>1018900
did i say anything like that?

Worse off than already pretty rough doesn't make already pretty rough good though

>>1018899
Kind of, yeah
Your big BUT is implicit that this is a net positive
When to me it's just all a sucky situation

net positive implies that there's a zero somewhere
so from depending on where one side sees the zero, a level that might seem positive can seem like a negative to a different perspective
so i don't think framing it as a net positive or negative is a useful simplification

i'm simply saying that he might be kind of annoying and also he kills a lot of people and is not overall a very admirable person
BUT

His friend is having fun with this

You can't really trust roleplayers with serious stuff
They're all degenerates after all

>>1018901
Yeah it's that "wouldn't actually be better off" which I don't agree with
I don't think this is an improvement beyond a shorter lifespan
Er improvement beyond a longer lifespan you get the gist

okay well you don't have to agree with my speculation, that's fine
but what you said was
"Worse off than already pretty rough doesn't make already pretty rough good though

which when you break it down is insinuating that i said her situation is good, and with the "though" added at the end you're confirming that it's supposed to stand in opposition to what i'm saying
i never said her situation is good, i said it was rough in the first place
then i speculated that maybe ryong-ha isn't going to be all bad for her

Okay to satiate your hairsplitting tendencies, I will rephrase it
Worse off than already pretty rough does not improve on the miserableness of the original situation

isn't that kind of just a blank tautology though
if the supposition is that she's worse off because of ryong-ha, i can see it like that
but otherwise what you're saying isn't really anything

Aside from predicting the narrative arc of the series, I think overall, aside from having possibly lived longer, Ryong-ha has been a miserable situation for her
It's certainly not an improvement and so far is likely worse off unless she would have been already killed by Hou for getting in the way of his revenge
Which again is only a worsening on account of a shorter lifespan, which might not even be a negative in her opinion
Because you're right that she's pretty messed up and I at least wouldn't be surprised if she has half a death wish

well it's pretty obvious that she's been not only inconvenienced and strongarmed heavily by him so far
and more importantly, hou never would've even gone after her if it wasn't for ryong-ha, at least not at this juncture for the reason he did
so he's directly endangered her in that way
what i was mostly attempting to comment on without it sounding like too much of a meta-narrative sort of perspective was that in the last scene we just watched
we're finally starting to see reasons why ryong-ha might actually be able to help chateau dealing with the rough emotional issues that we didn't even know she was having until just now
like until that last scene, there wasn't really any reason to see ryong-ha as anything but a problem
now it's like a very different dynamic is about to take over

wow she summoned a waifu

Yeah it's more of a valkyrie type than the death knight kinds she's been summoning so far

like the frilly headband

oh is he going to have her die on him after making the big money

It's kind of a Mirror of Erised situation
Maybe a bit more wholesome

saying thanks instead of sorry has come up super often recently
i even heard someone talking about it while i was at work

As long as you account for it properly, it's really just good advice for both parties
Most people don't really want to hear an apology except when they're expecting an apology
And it usually feels good to be thanked
For the thanker, I think it helps build a better mentality too, making you feel better for relying on people than feeling like you inconvenienced them

oh that mirror is a good way to confirm if someone is dead

That holy water looks a bit gross

Please do not get excited over a lady's holy water

that was good
oaky
tensai ouji
okay
lets start

Reaaaady

huh
didn't see that coming

same VA as tagaki-san, isn't she?

His assistant, right?
I think they're pretty close at least, yeah

Or this princess
They have close-ish voices hah hah

Okay yeah his assistant and Takagi have the same seiyuu

ueda reina also voices ganyu
maybe i can get marsh to watch this

I have a feeling
Oh nevermind it was wrong
I thought he was going to fuck with her and send her some highly inappropriate clothing under the pretense of it being cultural

Fiishu

What if she wants to marry him and have him help make her empress
So she can step aside and let him rule instead of herself
Ninym does keep saying the two of them are two peas in a pod

wow damn
that's kind of a big deal huh

Yeah
It was kind of just a sweet moment last episode
But as she elaborated, it's actually a pretty heavy romantic guesture to call someone your heart

hot springs talking episode

I wonder if there's a spin-off or interlude volume where they show what kind of antics they got up to at the academy
It feels like something already pretty thought out

The sub timing for this episode is a bit fast
It's been throwing me off a little bit

He really shot himself in the foot here
Had to be too nice and give her an in for getting him to help her overtake an imperial succession

i'm liking this show more as it goes on

also i realized when thinking about it earlier today
there's not really fantasy elements
no magic or demons or supernatural stuff
i kinda like that

It's kind of in the books of Game of Thrones, although with even less fantastical stuff
It's only really fantasy in being an entirely fictional place

okay
leadacle
leadale
i keep putting the c in there
okay
lets start

What a debacle

She's really raised some, uh, loving children

at least kartatz has a good head on his shoulders

yeah her kids are kinda messed up

wait those aren't just anime roses
he's actually summoning roses

wow she was going to rewrite him

Being a player character is dangerous

I wonder if high elves and dwarves mature in drastically different ways
That is to say, could a gruff full-bearded dwarf actually be in a parent-child relationship with a high elf that looks like her

The youngest one seems to be mother's favourite

Assuming her children have taken on a bit of personality from now being real people as opposed to NPCs she wrote
It feels like dwarves are kind of the usual level-headed way they are a lot of fantasy
And elves are kind of high strung and prone to excitement
Which is a contrast from the calm elegance you get in Tolkien-inspired elves

she really likes that spell

Well RIP that horse, geeze

>>1018953
It's a pretty useful bit of magic, especially in a world like this with few developed highways and other road infrastructure
Rather than having to travel half a day to find the next bridge or fording spot, you can just go straight through the water

is she going to make the centaur replace the horse
that's kind of demeaning

Kinda feels like it hah hah
I guess even a centaur is too beastly for the humankin of this world though

Cute boar

uhhhh
that's three dudes on a stick

also i like the sleepy cerberus head

Oh I was wondering if she'd get a rude awakening along this trip
That this isn't just binary code and video game spectacle
Even if she's still pretty much a demi-god, there are real people who are going to hurt in this world now

Although on the other hand she delivered an endgame level spell there
Just to delete a mook of a bandit

well she got over the shock of killing people pretty easily

She does seem a bit muted though
At the very least the excitement of adventure doesn't seem to have her as fired up

i think my favorites so far are vanitas, bisco, and leadale

well that was good
thanks for anime
good night

Yeah, thanks for anime!
Have a nice night
