genjitsu
okay lets start

Sunday nights have settled in to a pretty cohesive list

my only regret is no kimetsu

As in we can't watch it?
I'm sure we can probably make time tomorrow at the least

yeah we can probably get to it tomorrow

Souma's decked out in fancy clothes for this trial
He was in his shirt and blazer combo even when negotiating with Julius and the empire

This feels a bit like court theatrics, at least knowing Souma
We know he hates the thought of meanless death, and even with Duke Lion he gave him every out to not take death

Damn

uh oh

What the fuck
Did he just
What
He executed his entire court

OH
HE INSTALLED DEAD CARMINE AS HIS SHADOW POLICE

Vargas looks nice for being well over a hundred years

god i'm pretty certain he isn't going to kill her but taking him out of the room is so cruel

yeah no way he'd kill her
He's got a keikaku

Well he's making her a slave, which under most circumstances, wouldn't be much better
She's probably going to have a pretty decent situation though

is it going to be "that"

yup

Nice

they're his wives
so he should stop being a high school boy about it

i wonder if the author //
i wonder if authors ever struggle with trying to write a scene like that where the protagonist doesn't just act all shy and blushy and decide to follow the trope because it's easier

I dunno, I think the author probably has to be a bit emotionally immature, or inexperienced, to find that writing a shy cherryboy is easier than one who can read the room and go with the flow
Like, maybe it's easier to write that particular scene, but when you zoom out and look at the plot overall, surely it just makes things weaker

anime protags rarely go all the way

okay
vanitas
okay
lets start

We still don't know where Vanitas' book has gone off to

>>1023244
i don't think that the author has to be those things
the trope is easier to write simply because it's been written so many times before that you don't have to try very hard to find something to emulate
to me it seems that romantic and sexual encounters are pretty hard to do without being either just porn or cringe
so taking the easier route is probably especially tempting in that case

Hah hah oh no Vanitas

>>1023248
That's kind of subjective on the reader though
Most times that characters go hard beta on encounters like that, it comes off as exhausting or cringey to me
I'd much rather they earnestly commit to the encounter, no matter how uncomfortable the scene gets because of it

And between a beta bail out of a romantic encounter, and an actual romance scene
I honestly thing -think both have been written about in immense volume too
Both are trope-y at this point.

i think it's exhausting and cringey too
but it's a trope - it's going to be more or less accepted as such (and more importantly, approved by the editor) pretty much every single time

I think you're drastically under-red -under-read if you think a non-sexual encouter outweighs sexual ones

tiny jean-jacques

>>1023255
ah, so is it a bias that stems from mostly watching anime rather than reading?
so i can safely infer that non-sexual encounters are a financial opportunity choice instead?

Or a televisions regulations limitation

what does that have to do with the author making the choice aside from line two

You're only seeing material which gets to TV anime, which would, for the most part, comply with TV regulations

so you're saying that all those amazingly animated H shows out there which are so commercially successful are the better financial opportunity

Not really
Now you're putting words in my mouth

Now it sounds more like Jan-Jacks

my original point was that it seemed like authors choose cherryboy routines because it was easier (and i think it's objectively easier )
but if i'm simply under-read, i think the safer inference for me to make is that they choose them because it has broader appeal

My point about you being under-read was that both a romance scene like that and a cherryboy routine are equally tropic

That's separate from my original counterpoint to yours that it's demonstrable of emotional immaturity or inexperience to find the cherryboy routine easier

dang chloe had even less choice in the matter than i expected

I guess a big-ass organ keyboard might work for a computer input

he's having a tough time

hahahahahhaa
vanitas letting it slip

Here's Bargain Bin Astolfo

look at that electric organ

I wanna touch it

oh NO

OH
YES

chloe is best girl now

sorry noe
move over

okay
baraou
okay
lets start

I can't remember if it seems like Naenia has been calling the shots for Charlemagne or whatever that troupe of weird Anti-Spiral likes is
Yeah, Charlatan
I had it half right
If they do away with her because of this, do we get a glimpse of the real big bad of Charlatan, or is she going to get away

Charlatan
i think

time for the most whack show of the season

OH SHIT
I just had the epiphany
what if richard decides to save the kingdom, he'll simply murder her

Warwick knows how to mock with dignity

well of course the french king is louis
the question is which one

This kid's got a hunger far beyond his years

what time are we at:
?

lost my place

7"00
7:05
7:10

thanks

Dou itashimashite

hahaha
sparring partner

I'd spar with Richard if you noamsayin'

swordfighting

Holy FUCK Warwick

nice approach

that was an interesting scene

after last season, ice skating scenes will never be good enough

You know as long as Richard doesn't go full nude, no one would ever know about his body's nature
He could undress from the waist down and any partner would just assume he's a normal man

we don't quite know yet if richard's just got boobs and a dick or all 3

It's the Medieval ages, it's going to be pretty dark pretty much whenever you're indoors
I'm sure as long as he's got the basic package, and was careful, no one would be the wiser

i've got two sides
kind and pure of heart
and lancaster-killing psychopath

Poor Richard ;_l;
;_;

>>1023303
Technically they can be the same side!

what a line

fall into the warm depths of darkness

when's the murder

Assuming this tries to roughly follow the narrative arc of Richard III (although it has started long before the play does), roughly when the king's sons are young boys

Though I do seem to faintly remember the plot of Richard III kicking off with the king's death
And the opening plot arc is the struggle to become king

i only saw one screenshot from this episode
and it was lewd

it's tiiiiiiiime
sono bisque
okay
lets start

Reaaaady
One of the highlights of my week

It must be really nice to look on the physical manifestation of your excruciating hard work like that

I've never cosplayed
I wonder what this kind of thing is like

Isn't she adorable

>>1023318
Ever had something you wanted to do a cosplay of?

gojo's getting really excited

And he was the one who was getting nightmares about Marin getting too much into the personality of Shizuku-tan
Well
"Nightmares"

He kinda looks like he'd fit in with the cosplayers with his casual wear

Chichi-bukuro

They're all so polite about the photography process

>>1023323
I was thinking that too
he dresses like an anime character
I was surprised someone didn't come up to him and ask him if he was cosplaying so and so

Dokkyunn

She's sweating like a pig
i was thinking
that's a bad outfit for summer

Especially if you're wearing breast pads
They're probably not designed to breath that well

Breathe, even

wow
sweat pool in cleavage
important detail

wow he almost died

He's gotten a little bit stronger though
A little bit

this feels like attempted murder
he's going to die

Some things are worth dying for

Oh they didn't actually show the text she wrote on her legs
I thought that was visible in the manga

maybe they'll do a flashback
or okay

Ah okay there we go
That's what I was remembering

what's with the text on her legs

It's a tally
You know how Western people do the four lines with the fifth struck through it for a five-count tally?
The Japanese and Chinese use the Kanji for five (五) to count in the same way
She's got a tally on the inside of her thighs
I assume you can figure out what her character is counting

I figured it was part of the cosplay and something like that

It's the kind of thing that comes naturally to those of us with rotten minds

Leo-sama from the Seven BFs kinda sounds like a joke reference to Seven Deadly Sins

DOKKYUNN

Ah this was great
This episode did a wonderful job of expressing Marin's cuteness

good episode

yup that was a good episode

okay
slow loop
okay
lets start

i read an article about slow loop that was way more insightful about the show than i am
i kinda turn my brain off for shows like this

SECRET KOI

i don't know if i could explain it
but
yeah it would take too much effort to explain
koi's outfit is cute

I feel it's a bit regretful to live your life that much in fear of the sun though

i don't know what experiences you've had with sun
but i can tell you from mine that it's very reasonable
i have memories of peeling amounts of skin off that make me cringe and feel queasy just thinking about

I have good skin for avoiding sunburns
Not so much these days, but when I was in the sun more regularly as a kid, I could go for pretty much five-six hours straight with my back to the sun and not get sunburned
Even these days it takes a lot of sun before I even get a bit sensitive

i inherited my mom's untannable skin
i burn and i burn bad
the thick chunky and brownish red pieces of skin were the worst ones to fall off
and the pain was some of the worst i've felt in my life

Live insect bait is one of the reasons I'm happy to never go fishing
Of course the major one is that I don't want to handle panicking caught fish, so the kind of bait ultimately doesn't really matter
But I still don't like the idea

Fishing out on a boat is pretty fun

i've never tried it
i probably wouldn't mind if it was like one of those marshy areas or like those river-looking bodies of water that are relatively calm
i don't like being out in big lakes though
i'd probably hate the ocean

I can't remember if I ever fished off a boat, but I did go out in my grandpa's fishing boat on occasion
That set of grandparents lived on a decently-mid-sized lake with deep, rocky bottoms where plenty of fish like t o hang out
We got a lot of trout from them before grandpa got too old to really be out there on his lonesome

Kin-aji
Basically translates straight as "golden flavour"

Kids really are vicious

hahahahahaha

oh rejected

awwwwww

Kawaii wa inochi!

But yes please always remember to have enough life jackets on a boat for all passengers

good series
thanks for anime
see youtomorrow

See you tomorrow!
Thanks for anime

Good luck with the workweek
