86
baraou

sono bisque
slow loop

86
okay
let's start

I have been waiting a quarter of a year for this

Guess Bang did need those ten minutes

86!
yeah i was on my phone

let's see
if i recall
when we left off, he'd beaten the giant artillery robot and was beaten up and the curtain fell pretty much right at that point

Yeah, you're pretty much spot on
Some minor details, Shin and the rest of the kids were far within Legion territory, and he also had intentionally pushed on ahead of them

Also that "IMA" is definitely Lena

Oh I'd forgotten that despite separating from everyone, the princess was still stowed away
She was one of the reasons he was able to get the killing blow on the Morpho

Shin has had a hard life

he is really trippin out

PTSD does some horrific things to the mind

it's like those visions from right before death
but he's not dead yet

! ! !

!!!!!!!!!!!

The weird robot butterflies dispersing to show the red higanbana is a nice touch

Of course he wouldn't recognize her face
And that his mech is translating her lip movements means he can't recognize her voice

I guess his mech's speakers are too garbled for her to recognize his voice either

yup, he can't hear her voice

Oh
Wait
He's still in the system?

oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god

i'm gonna cry

The letterbox is fading away
After creating such a claustrophobic shot for most of this episode so far

Wow
WOW
What a bunch of rude bastards

I guess the backup arrives though
The rest of the Giad Federation caught up with him

Hah hah hah
Lena and her friend there
Eyepatch wanted her rifle and her friend was telling her a bad idea
But she gave up the gun anyway

Their host nation turned out to be surprisingly kind-hearted.

Yeah
At the least they didn't have any serious scheming in mind for the kids
They're not entirely altruistic but at the least that guy who leads them, Ernst, is serious about trying to let the kids heal

I hope they can meet face to face next episode at least
Also I hope we see how Lena survived the downfall of San Magnolia

what a LIAR

I guess he found his reason to live

looks like next ep will be about her

that was a pretty good episode

i'm so happy but also sad but also so happy
that episode was so good
shinei banzai
lena banzai
86 banzai!

That was intense despite most of the action being resolved last episode
I never bought that Lena would have died but it's good to see she's kept herself together

Thisseries being as good as it has been is one of the biggest surprises of the last few years.

If you want another ridiculous thing
This is the author, of the LN at least, first published work

baraou
okay
lets start

>>1034911
i don't know anything about the writing of the VN
but whoever is in charge of the screenwriting and directing for the anime are gods
this show has been so incredibly well done
LN*
almost every aspect of editing, shot composition, the animation quality itself, it's all so beautiful and emotive and amazingly composed
there were some slower moments in the second cour but i imagine that's part of why they took their time finishing these episodes

Moses supposes that roses are toeses

>>1034914
This is actually the director's first time handling a full series
He's done episodes of stuff in the past, but nothing to this degree
I don't see anyone listed as screenwriter, only a series composition
Which makes me assume either him or the director take a heavier hand in the scripting for the adaptation, or they're taking pretty literally from the original LN

the episode of your lie in april he directed is a super good one

Henry is one of those characters that keeps feeling like he's going to get himself killed in like five minutes
But somehow keeps surviving

This is why proper branding for your army is so important
If you're all wearing white cloaks with only a red or white flower insignia to differentiate who's who
This is definitely the kind of result you can only expect

Alas, poor Yorick
I knew him well

Henry here looking the exact same like twenty years ago as he does in current time

Actually might be as much as thirty years ago
It's impossible to tell really how old anyone is in this series

wow this episode is actually pretty good

I feel they've been taking a bit more than usual from the Shakespearean material it derives from
Especially all those lines between Warwick and Edward
I'm pretty sure those were supposed to be modern transliterations of lines from his plays

Can you swing the sword, Richard
Can you take Henry's head

vanitas
okay
lets start

Welcome back Rika

wow that episode was actually good
been kinda on the fence about this show
since it's usually entertaining but not usually that good
but this episode was well done
time for it to not compare to vanitas

>>1034928
hello
IO had a stomach ache and had to go take care of it

wow this episode is starting out with a bang

Ah that's rough
I don't get stomachaches much
Headaches on the other hand are pretty common

that's me i'm bang

According to some chatter I saw in the rare thread about this show, the anime is pretty much caught up to the manga at this point
There's like one ongoing arc left at -after this season ends most likely

Crazy Louis and his stakes

We're mostly covering over stuff we saw in previous flashbacks of Noe's
I'm guessing we'll see things from Domi's side

Vampires sure are a superstitious lot

Hah hah fuck
Poor Domi

domi........

I wonder if it's that which made Domi affect a more masculine dress
She's trying to be as much of Louis as she can be for Noe

If only Noe wasn't so gosh darned gay

Man this sure is a tableau

Yeah

Wait what
She? He?
Oh okay I see
He.

Even Roland can recognize how fucked up this is

Well, kinda

we're finally going to learn about vanitas' past

wew

sono bisque
okay
lets start

Normally a highlight of my night but man that 86 episode

marin looks cuter as marin than as the ones she's cosplayed
but juju looks way cuter in this cosplay than she looks as herself

Maybe that's the power of being a veteran cosplayer

ACTIVATED

Only for a few seconds though hah hah

she had it for just a moment

Pounding into his head that it's good to keep track of money is smart
Even if it's probably meaningless as long as his cosplay stuff stays for the most part between him and Marin

The eye tape does do some pretty good work on Marin's eyes
Although it does look like part of it is her nailing the expression

UEHHH

There's advantages and disadvantages to having a tiny body

yeah, they've both got a great number of characters they can't cosplay very well

I wonder if it's better to have a body like theirs, and being able to more accurately spec into a type
Or having a more average body and being a bit more of an all-rounder, while maybe being a bit imperfect in your ability to cosplay very tall or very short characters

shoulderless pajamas
do those exist
sounds too good to be true

I dunno if I'd consider them too good to be true
I don't really like my shoulders exposed

huh

Uh oh

Marin's face

She's about to shank a doroboneko

>>1034962
well that's not really something limited to cosplay
certain styles are hard or impossible to pull off properly if you have a certain body type

her soul gem is being corrupted

Wow
At this point I just expected no OP this episode

having the wrong body type for certain styles is basically my entire life
my frame is so big that even when i wasn't fat, there's just a lot of looks i can't pull off
now that i've been losing weight again, there's a few i'll be able to unlock again and some i already have
but
i'll never be able to wear the kind of stuff i could in middle school and the first half of high school

marin's voice got really serious there

also that guilty-gear-as-fuck character

Yeah I'm pretty sure Guilty Gear is the design motif for her

the font for VERONICA was also literally the font and style of image for the GGST character trailers

Marin's keeping herself together surprisingly well

her tan disappeared

Yeah
I guess it washed off in the shower?

lol

Chomp chomp

Gojou awakening to the glory of the underboob

Oh shit /fa/ Gojou time

marin's outfit is extremely cute

I kinda liked the pattern on that second shirt

guy fieri

Oh no Marin
Marin please
You need to have a CRITICAL eye here
This is not the time to be lovesick!

marin can't see the clothes because the man is in the way

I'd like to get some more UNIQLO clothes some time
They're pretty nice, and not too expensive
But there's a bit of work that needs to be done first

skochers

i hope the uniqlo in dallas opens back up one day

her taste in male clothes is pretty gaudy too

oh wait it was in houston
and it was going to open for the first time but didn't
hm

>>1034996
I figure she doesn't even have taste in guy clothes
She was just picking what she likes for herself to put on him
But since she's blinded by love she can't see that it doesn't work as well for him as it does for her

Should have said yes, man

his being hypersheltered kinda resonates with a younger bang though
i lost my highschool gf cause i was scared of god's wrath is i engaged in fornicative acts
gojou, unlike most shy MC's, i can actually believe

It's less being sheltered for me but I'm pretty sure I was emotionally a dumbass in highschool probably because of being a bit on the spectrum
I remember when some girls I was friends with a grade or two above me were trying on dresses at a store, maybe for prom or something nice-ish like that
And they offered to let the guys look in on the changing room to see
And my braindead self was like "N-no thanks I'll just stand out here"
I don't even think they were going to be in any state of undress but the concept of intimacy there was enough to overload me

slow loop
okay
lets start

Get in the van losers we're going fishing

Oh that's a thought
I wonder if there's been a rise in things like escape rooms for Japanese high school culture festivals
I feel like that's the kind of thing that would work well in the bunkasai environment

A traditional Japanese-style cafe explains the kimono-apron outfit she has in the OP

kimono aprons are pretty good

Yeah, they're great
I'd like to visit a cafe that does traditional outfits and entrees some day
Whenever I can get back to Japan I guess

Hah hah hah
She ran off to get her facts straight so she could butt heads with that guy
Over fishing

SeaNyan

have you guys seen plastic memories
i watched almost all of it yesterday and today

Yeah, although I can't remember if that was before or after I started watching anime with /moe/
I thought it was pretty good for what it wanted to be
But every now and then I run into a post on like Twitter or elsewhere that isn't as cynical as /a/ that acts like it was amazing
And I feel like they don't really watch a whole lot of anime

it aired 2015
yeah it's not perfect but it's decent
i like it
it's definitely fishing for tears

2015 was almost certainly with Rika and probably Ika yeah
And probably another one or two people

fast fishing success

>>1035019
I remember watching it, yeah

i don't remember when i did and didn't watch anime with moe
i feel like i've been off and on for as long as anime with moe existed
but mostly more consistent the last couple years

>>1035022
It's not like fishing for tears is such a bad thing after all
KEY games and shows fish for tears , series like Your Lie In April are intentionally tugging on heartstrings
Plastic Memories is just kinda a bit too transparent about it at times

i'm really weak to tearjerkers
also i subcribe to the belief that if a show manages to make me feel emotions then it's worth looking past more faults than normal
since rarely anything in life manages to make me feel much anymore
cut my life into pieces
this is my last resort

A general disdain for live bait is another reason I'm comfortable leaving the act of fishing to other people
I don't want to deal with live bait, I don't want to handle the caught fish
If you want me to hold your rod then sure, I'll do that
But I don't want to be involved

I don't mind live bait.

There's plenty of fishing you can do with jigs and lures but you do have to handle the fish once you catch it.

live bait is fine by me
slapping a fish with an iron rod is also fine by me
sitting around waiting for a really time when i'd rather be shooting or hiking or wakeboarding
that's really why i'm not into fishing

>>1035029
You can do the fishing then!
I'll be your cheersquad and social support

If someone wants me to sit around and shoot the shit with them while they fish I'm happy to comply
I've got no qualms being near fishing in action, I just don't want to be physically involved

this show has certainly made fishing more interesting to me
but moreso it's made cooking fish much more interesting
i love salmon and tuna but i only have like 5 or so ways of preparing it that i regularly engage in
this show has shown me at least 4 or 5 more that i should try

The fish stew they made last episode caught my eye
These sandwiches seem pretty good too
The izakaya I was going to some times before the pandemic has this great salmon burger they make
I hope if I can make my way back there after restrictions lift soon that they're still making it

i've started putting canned albacore into the packets of shin ramyun when i make it
it's really good
it sounds weird, surely
but it's good

>>1035031
The only way to get used to it is to do it. I used to be scared too but my grandfather made me.

This episode went by quickly.

i'm so happy for more 86

>>1035037
You've been driving us pretty fast tonight too
Barely even letting the next-episode PV roll before oranging up for the next show!

>>1035036
See the misunderstanding here is, I don't care to get used to it!
I'm more than happy to let other people do the fishing part
Honestly I'd love to do the cooking but I do have zero skill with filleting fish

yeah we're done at a decent time!
now i won't feel guilty about my bedtime
it helps when i don't slow us down too

welll we had lots of good shows to watch
a very good night of anime
thanks for anime

good shows are good motivation
thanks for anime
oyasumi

>>1035039
cooking is worse
I can handle the fish fine but I hate cleaning them

Dead is dead to me
I mean I'd like some plastic gloves because raw meat texture makes my skin crawl a bit
But once it's dead it's just another ingredient

But yeah this was a nice soul-filling night of anime
Thanks, and have a nice night!
Good luck with the workweek

I don't like guts

okay thanks for anime and see you tomorrow
