hello it was an okay weekend
is bang around?

I sent out a ping
Haven't seen much of him today

it's unlike him to miss today, the best day of anime

in the meantime let's watch

shikki
oka
lets start

Yeah
Might be same as me he went down for a nap before anime
And missed his alarm or whatnot

They kinda try to give him this Bond-esque "I have a plan for every occasion" thing and always being composed
And I dunno it doesn't really hit for me
Like they did a similar thing with the MC of the isekai assassin show and that one worked for the most part
This one just doesn't

Messenger pigeons are one of those things I always mentally nitpick when I see them showing up in that kind of function
Like being able to find a specific person in a random inn in one of who knows how many towns/cities
That's not how they worked!
I guess you could maybe handwave it by saying they're magic messenger pigeons but no one really ever does

>>1031483
This show is best when he's killing demons
I don't care much for this typical I'm so strong isekai stuff

>It should have been obvious from his gear
I mean Matty walks around in just a suit and a sword
The sword could just be assumed for basic self-defense
Nothing about Matty's appearance really indicates he's the trump card of his party

there's a final boss voice

Yeah, they got Koyasu to voice this demon lord or upper commander whoever
This mook demon meanwhile sounds a bit like a bargain bin Wakamoto Norio

Oh some people are starting to theorize correctly who he is
I wonder who's responsible for that

The demons are really careful to say their
his correct name every time
and the whole name

Maybe it's a demon culture thing
Maybe they're trying to intimidate him
Like "We know exactly who you are, you can't hide from us"

Asking her to take a half-human, half-dragon form might be cute
But it could also end up being a scaley

hmm, still no bang

futsal
oaky lets start

Yeah, no response on my side either

Yeah the wall's called "Being an uncooperative pain in the ass"

Sakaki feels like the kind of guy who has a lot of stuff he's never done before

Some times it's good to just screw around
Spending all your afternoons practicing sports is no way to lead a teenage life

I wonder when their next game is
so far this series has a lot of slice of life time and not a lot of game

This new school team seems to be a fairly irresponsible lot
I wonder if they even want to play futsal

>>1031499
Hard to tell
Aside from tournaments it seems up to the schools to organize games
And they're building up to the summer tournament right now, so hard to tell when that will come through

Oh they're a bunch of popularity chasing dorks but they're all good at imitating pros

Well there you go at least
If the summer tournament is starting tomorrow we'll probably see a game by next episode

wow they got to games faster than i expected

Same, although these have so far been montages to get past the qualifiers

Yeah I was thinking
Should he really have his phone out on the court like that

wow playing games already

Even with their ability to mimic pros, I can't imagine this other team is much of a challenge for the main characters
They're all just so half-baked with how seriously they take the game

saiyuuki
7
okay
lets start

Reaaaady

Oh right, this sure was a cliffhanger
I wonder if he'll be okay

This black crow priest guy seems to be a bit of an arc antagonist
Showing up both in the monk and the priest's backstories

I wonder if some of the other accessories that red-hair and black-hair have also serve this purpose
Taking that circlet Goku was wearing off seemed to trigger his demonic nature

looks like dragonball

Funnily enough he's also Son Goku
Since Goku in Dragonball is similarly inspired, or was at first, by Sun Wukong, the Monkey King

I guess there really was no helping it considering the time
But they really should have moved him somewhere without so many people first

Yeah now he's gone full demon too
Although he seems to have better control of himself than Goku

things have really gone high power

Something I've been wondering for a bit is how much this series might've inspired stuff like Nanatsu no Taizai
Not that the "party member with a sealed demi-god nature" is a trope particular to that series
But there's certain particular aspects of this series which I feel align with Nanatsu
And since the manga for this is a good bit older than it

How old is this series?

I think the manga run was through the 00s
Oh nevermind, 97-02

I wonder if the red-haired guy can also unseal his demon powers
Out of the main quartet, they're the demons
And then there's the blonde priest who's human

Oh they got him under control without monk's help
I thought he'd be needed here

the power of lightning

Honestly lightning is a pretty effecitve weapon
Providing you're capable of harnessing it

well
sailor fuku
okay
lets start

Also if there's one thing we usually watch with Bang that I'd like to get to tonight, it would be Bisque Doll

Oh boy.
Pool chapter

This ponytail girl with the glasses sure is testy

SLAM

And welcome to the jam?

Se ya naa~

Wow Swimming-chan is amping to steal Akebi's sailor-fuku

I get the feeling if this show had come out six years earlier, this serious glasses girl would have been voiced by Kugamiya Rie

yeah probably
I miss her having so many roles

Yeah, bringing her up made me think about it
Maybe she quietly settled into light retirement or something
While a seiyuu is pretty much employable as long as they have their voice, she might've dodged some of the worse celebrity culture around seiyuu and had time to make a family
So stepping back and taking less work might be preferable

I bet Riri didn't actually want her uniform she just wanted someone she could go up against seriously

Ah yeah

Se ya na~

It's fun to get sweaty over a competition every now and then

>>1031549
well she's pretty old now

Yeah, but even older seiyuu can still get work
The main Eva cast voiced their roles from the TV series through the Rebuild movies
And they brought back the whole cast for Higurashi's newer anime

It is definitely less work though
Hopefully she's got a decent amount saved up

Wow her mom's made her a fall and winter uniform
Or maybe that was just a weird translation and it's one uniform for both fall and winter

wow summer uniform already

They've been training for the sports festival so summer was defintely around the corner
Honestly it's probably already here for them
I think sports festivals usually happen like July or August

She's got a good point
The loose attributes of this summer version really do up the cuteness a lot
It's a really good-looking sailor-fuku

That's a bit of an early ED

yeah that's true
I guess we get a little after ED scene

The imouto wants to be the sailor-fuku too
At least she went with the sensible choice of the winter version

Good onee-san

takagi
okay

lets start

Ah I guess Takagi is fine too
I can survive a day of waiting for Bisque Doll

He really picks some of the silliest things to make a game out of

But I guess that's just being a kid

He picked the wrong stage to fight on this time though

picking strange things would be a good way to beat her if she wasnt so unbeatable

Maybe he'd try harder at beating her if losing to her didn't feel so nice

The nimber of steps translating into "I love you" is one of those things which really doesn't translate into English
I know for the Takagi-san manga they did try to localize it, even in the fan translations
They used a different number of steps which kinda worked, but even then I didn't really think it worked

Also wow this guy is a wuss

Hah hah they're both wusses
Maybe they deserve each other

Nervous doesn't really seem in this guy's dictionary

She's a bit of a high-strung needy girlfriend
But he seems pretty comfortable with that

415 steps of stairs is actually quite a bit to jog up
Even just walking them will probably tire someone who's out of shape out

Another one of those "When does this series even take place" moments
Who rents DVDs anymore after all

Yeah wow Nishikata
Don't just spoil the whole movie like that

Lots of lovey dovey teasing this ep

Yeah
And a bit of a humanizing moment from Takagi there
She obviously wanted to ask him out on a date or something
But even she gets too shy some times
