Tribe Nine was pretty cuh-razy last week
I've been wondering all week if it's just a bit or if he's actually dead

i think it would be a super interesting surprise if he's dead
but he's like, almost the MC
there's no way, right?

All I can say is I can completely expect both outcomes
This is the kind of pure chaos I live for

it's not like when mami died, either
cause that was like "oh shit" and it was super clear what happened
this was pretty ambiguous and i feel like 90% of the the time ambiguous deaths in anime are non-anime

It was the 11th anniversary of her death recently I think.

are non-deaths

GFL
okay
lets start

Pew pew pew

t-dolls
more like
uhhhhh
i can't really think of anything witty
i didn't think of something before starting the post

T-dolls more like T-dulls

>>1020423
yeah this

I've been practicing with Pokemon names because it bothers Ton

I was kind of wondering what happened to the rest of her squad
The focus of the past few episodes has been rescuing her but she was originally in a team of five or so

>>1020433
i'm assuming on discord or something?
i don't see ToN around much these days

Yeah I joined in for a tabletop game Kirara ran the other year and Ton has a Discord for that
Although these days it's more just a place to talk about Vtubers and video games

wow
G36 is way cooler than whoever this maid is

Meidos are plenty cool!

this one doesn't look that cool
G36 is one of my favorite guns, visually
but this t-doll doesn't do it justice

oh yeah so they clone themselves when they're fighting
but when AR team was fighting those battle-meidos in the first episodes
they were just fighting one each
and the meidos losing the battle was highly contigent on misjudging the specific number of enemies
but like they could've been 12 on 2 instead of 4 on 2 from the beginning

It's a bit surprising they went with a female commander too
I'd assume the majority percent of their playerbase is guys
But maybe there's enough of them that would be down with a female commander anyway

i think it's specifically because they expect most of the playerbase to be male that they chose a female
if they choose a male they are way more limited on characterization i think
if they make the commander a female they can just try to make her a waifu too

It's also pretty funny how the girls can just get fucking shot in the face and it's not a problem because they're robots

They reallly have tracked the game story like
super close

I guess GFL does have a more linear story tha n a lot of gacha

I don't know how much plot there is to the mobage but I feel like at the pace the anime's going they won't get very deep into any serious plot arcs
Like how in Arknights if you don't make it past like chapter three or four you're barely into the game's story
I feel like you barely even meet Ch'en by that point

Arknights also has a lot of really good spin-off stories though
The W story event and Aegir event focusing on Skadi were really great

arknights' protagonist will be really interesting to see in the anime
i've already heard rumors that the anime will cover the plot but // plot from the beginning of the game but i'm really hoping it's new stuff
probably a farfetched hope

also, so far GFL has been pretty "just ok" but i do really like the ED
i've mentioned i wish it had more bass and i do
but it's still pretty catchy in general

I know Ace's seiyuu has been talking about the Arknights anime
The grizzled veteran who dies at the start of the game
So if anything, there'll be maybe a bit of precursor stuff, but my money's on a straightforward adaptation of the plot from the start of the campaign

yeah i think i saw him during the recent broadcast for the event, being excited for his role
oh they also announced EN voiceovers for the game at that event
soon (tm)

also i totally got Ch'en The Holungday
yatta

Unless the banner's still going I missed my chance
Still kind of burnt out on mobage after playing Arknights daily, doing my best to keep my sanity on constant recharge, for a year and a half straight

she's like pinecone on steroids
yeah the banner just ended
i kinda burnt myself out in just a few weeks but i still log in
and auto-deploy
and then log out
but a bunch of my sanity potions were gonna expire last night so i popped them and now i have 750 sanity
that's gonna take so long to auto-deploy

I think of this whenever I see Ch'en's name.

Yeah that's what I was doing to keep my sanity on constant recharge
Always auto-deploying and grinding events to make sure I get all the event rewards
Using all my sanity potions to make sure I got my effective value
That eventually just exhausted me hah hah

bisco
okay
lets start

rusty biscuit
>>1020477
if you have any originites sitting around
maybe log in and grab that limited Red skin
i think it's s-tier skin
assuming it's still there
i think it is

Reaaady

>>1020479
If anything I would've liked to grab the Mudrock bikini skin so I can have her not always be in her clunky suit

oh yeah people are hype about that one
i don't have a mudrock

but i have Red and she's one of my most valued ops
she's like an oh shit button whenever i'm doing a map for the first time
fixing all my oversights and mistakes

RIDE THE CRAB

>>1020487
Red's one of my pocket back-ups
I rarely take her on one -on my first try of a map but if it becomes clear I need some fast response or to put up fast defense in several different spots on short notice, I tap her in
Although now that I've E-2'd Skadi I can probably use her for that some times

I have a lot of pretty flexible and powerful units at E-2 level forty so most events are clearable with my favourite characters

wow the world looks so pretty
so much better than that desert they were in

>>1020490
since my account is still new, i end up having to watch a lot of optimzied guides for cleaing some of the really difficult event content

how do you eat spike covered lizard

It looks like the spikes came off in the cooking

>>1020492
I'm too prideful to watch guides even if I'm having a hard time
I just brute force things with different combinations and deploy orders until something works
It does make some of the final stages pretty hard some times
Like the last stage of the Rainbow 6 collab event was brutal
Oh and the last stage for Saga and Dusk's event

>in the mines
holy fuck they're gonna go THROUGH the mountains

>>1020496
i wish i was around for the R6 collab, i use Ash as a support unit sometimes because she's so strong and also cool

i usually try stuff on my own, or rather i always do
but for the event, i'm not gonna let stuff get away b/c i'm still new
and people figure out some really cool strats using low rarity/low level ops

Wow that's a rude crustacean
A crabby crustacean even

>>1020500
The best ones I've seen are the ones where they break the stage
Once I saw someone get an enemy unit into a pull/push loop that meant the stage would never end
Eventually the game just crashed to the main menu

panda is struggling with crabomancy

>>1020505
lolwut
i should look that up

>Holding Bisco back is the last thing I want to do
I bet Bisco would love for you to hold him back if you noamsayin'

Also here's Pink Grifter again

she looks so weird without her suit

i had a feeling she'd end up joining the party somehow
i guess this is how?
but she's definitely gona gonna* do a big trickster play somewhere i bet

Giant crabs still remind me of the crustacean monsters from MonHun
A subtype which is critically missing from the newer generation games

>>1020515
yeah she's in the OP a good bit

Oh that does not look good

WHOA

WHOA WHOA WHOA

Oh what in the actual FUCK

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Who
Why
The fuck

DANGER
DANGER

didn't expect her to be like this

jellyfish
cause her hair
oh she said it

Yeah I was gonna say
I wonder if Bisco has an animal motif that just isn't too clear

i kinda hate her but i also really like her
potential for favorite of the season

Wow what a steal

Uh oh

oh no she's retarded

oh i see
the end of the last episode jumped to just now

retarded but strong

wAIT SHERS A GENIUS
THE GASOLINE
ITS GONNA BURN THE SNAIL

I can't believe Bisco is dead

snail?
what is it
it's some kind of crustacean

Bisco called it a shrimp
I don't quite see it though

>definitely my first time fighting a temple

i feel like a i just got foreshadowing for a fromsoft game
where you fight a whole temple

it had the funny little crab eyes

So do shrimp though

Wow Bisco don't get so angry with random kids
Ah yeah hah hah
Good going dork

oh dang

thsi show is so cool
i'm gonna be sad when it ends

good show

tribe nine
time to find out
okay
lets start

Fuck around and find out

Heeeeeeee'ssss goooonnnneeee

wow
wowowowowowowow

he really just walked out and died

Man this OP sure hits different now

I'm looking forward to Saori going hardcore without him now
The OP kinda hints she's gonna get serious

as expected of DRRRRRRRRR

Hah hah hah wow
That's a very un-gentlemanly way to carry a lady

The districts of Tokyo sure have changed in the future

They're being pretty good now though

This music is a total bop

Without Shun and Saori the Minato Tribe doesn't have the best united direction
I guess the shrimp and the big guy are good at calming people down but they can't get the gang to do things like Shun or Saori can

;_;

SHOUTENGAI

looks like time for a battle

I fucking love shoutengai
Coolest form of a mall period

This is a neat way to shake up the previously established idea of XB
Having to keep track of the ways the ball can bounce off things and the maze of the shoutengai

Sasuga Taiga

The vague rules around what's accepted in XB and what isn't are ridiculous hah hah

this guy seems like a keikaku man

He's also kind of a blue Shun too
Although he's got a less endearing personality

They need a new ace pitcher with Shun dead anyway
The shrimp can pitch but I'm pretty sure he's supposed to be relief

wow sudden ending

it's cool that they hard-killed an important character like that
but also shun was one of the reasons i liked this show
that's kind of why i didn't think they'd kill him
he seemed like a lot of the draw
but if they're gonna make a blue shun now
idk i just wasn't feeling it this episode

sabikui bisco is great though
gonna end up being a show i recommend a lot i think

thanks for anime~

Night Bang

thanks for anime

kimetsu
okay
lets start

This'll be pretty exciting
Hopefully the episode delivers on the execution

I've been looking forward to this

Uzui is pretty great
Still kind of obnoxious at times but his attitude is respectable

What a charmer

the death flag flashback sequence

Sword swings like fireworks!

Oh no

Tanjirou's still bleeding out his eyes
That can't be good for his general wellbeing

close call with the death flag

Zenitsu still asleep
I wonder if we'll see him use another lightning attack

Hah hah he's talking with Inosuke like he's fully aware of what's going on though

The combat cinematography for these fights has been really excellent
They do a great job of showing all of them moving around dynamically

He really sawed her head right off

beheaded again

Uh oh
Those sickles are poisoned too
And yeah that doesn't bode well for Uzui

Oh
That bodes really bad for Uzui

asdfdss

wow what a spot to leave off

Uzui's lost at least one hand
The other arm is also separated but -is maybe also separated but maybe just broken or laying at a rough angle
Either way he doesn't look good

It's a good thing there were like a dozen or so Hashira and only six (well seven kinda) Upper Moons
Because right now it's looking like they'll be down two Hashira to take down one (well two kinda) of the Moons

okay
pricon
okay
lets start

Ichiso-sensei, who's probably best known here for being the character designer behind Shigure and Yuudachi from Kancolle, is a big fan of the PriConne mobage and anime
It's always fun to see her comments about the episode every monday
She also always had something to say about Dragonmaid when it was airing too

Woah another male character who doesn't seem to be a mook
I thought this was Princess Connect
Oh maybe this is from the previous world or dimension or game or whatever the heck is actually going on
Yeah looks like it

>>1020709
I follow her on twitter so I've gotten to see.
She's also a big fan of that vtuber she did the design for,

Yeah, NIJISANJI EN's Pomu Rainpuff
She's one of Kirara's favourite Vtubers
He was following her previous streaming incarnation as an indie Vtuber so learning that she'd made it into the big leagues as a professional Vtuber made him really happy

Oh this ane-san wolfgirl
I remember Marsh really liked her since she was his free 3*

Lots of high budget animation this episode

Ah I really like this girl
Maho
She has a Kansai-ben and talks like a laidback noble

The Gourmet Guild really are a bunch of weirdos

>>1020714
They do really pull out the high quality animation for this series
But they're also not afraid to do the Konosuba "Let's just animate everyone as jelly for comedic moments" thing

I wonder if they'll ever do any of the "real world" dream scenes like what you get in the mobage if you get high enough bond levels

I also liked the busty Okinawan kemonomimi girl in the mobage
But she was hard to work into an effective PvP team

She was good for the guild raids and the boss fights at the end of the dungeons though, since she stacked damage as she used her special

They're doing a lot of fighting this episode

This is an unusually peaceful Shadow
They're right, normally the Shadows are pretty aggressive

She kinda reminds me of Yuuki when he first woke up in this world
It would be kind of funny if he was a Shadow all along

this is a big monster

Oh these golems show up a bunch in the mobage's PvE fights

Golem fight!
Golem fight!

Man these fights are so good

Oh yeah I think it was also Pecorine's seiyuu's birthday
Either today or yesterday

looks like we're ending this one with a cliffhanger too

That's pretty unusual for this series
At the least I think we made it all the way to the final two episodes in season one before they did a cliffhanger

thanks for anime

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