I'll make the list in a minute. Do we have a tilde?
Anno
yes
Anno
Koi wa you know the rest Beatless Cardcaptors Daga shikashi Cangrrest Senki More of it Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens HakuMiko Takagi-san Kokkoku Ryuuou no Oshigoto Takunomi
Yuu
anyone have any preferences?
Anno
Not in particular.
Anno
we have to grancrest two* we're behind
Anno
Well you two have it. Really could've just done that the night I was conked out last week.
Yuu
yeah we need to get that sometime lets
beatless hakata ramen ryuoou takagi-san
Anno
kokkoku is kinda lame i might drop it by next episode
Anno
You're kind of lame. It's pretty interesting.
Yuu
I thought it was okay.
okay beatless okay let's start!
Anno
ok
Anno
Ready.
Yuu
Oh yeah I forgot this was the robot waifu show.
Anno
Well they're moving their robo-waifu up in the world quick.
Anno
His friends are pretty sensible.
Anno
I'm still a little surprised at how cheerful she ended up being. Generally robo-girls and girls in her position in shows like this tend to be a little more dour.
Anno
I dont feel like this show will be as enjoyable as guilty crown
Yuu
I hope she won't end up like Isla.
Anno
Yeah that's not the kind of made-up girl I'd expect to be an expert in, uh. Whatever it was she said she was in.
Yuu
Everyone really likes his robot girlfrield.
Anno
You don't like his robot girlfrield?
Yuu
Well I'm not sure why she's such a big deal. Or why she's suddenly a fashion model.
Anno
they know she has the best design out of anyone in the show
Yuu
I'm also not sure what's going on with her personality. In the first episode she was going on about how she's soulless and was just a doll but she's acting a lot like a person this episode.
Anno
This sound is really, really livetune-y. Sounds like something I'd hear on MOGRA.
>>401454 I think she's suddenly a fashion model because the MC's imouto is a dumb, impulsive brat.
Anno
She's saying some really scary sci-fi stuff there in a prety excited way.
Anno
Pretty excited, even.
Anno
>>401456 I guess as a robot it's easy to just download a personable AI instead of being an inert robot.
Anno
Oh shit robo-people policepeople. That's pretty skynet right there.
Anno
I'm wondering when we're going to get back to Lacia's pseudo-sisters or whatever.
Yuu
I expected that he would be killing monsters or whatever with his robot by now. Kind of an unexpected direction for this to go in.
Anno
Yeah I kind of figured something would be happening by now. But instead we're still setting up this weird kind of dystopic sci-fi future.
Anno
Oh it's the Kyoko robo-girl.
It looks like stuff starts stuffing next episode.
Yuu
well there's our plot hook okay hakata ramens it's not actually about ramen okay let's start!
Anno
ok
too bad jan isnt here this show is kinda fun so far
Anno
It's a bit messy. Hopefully this episode puts things a bit more into alignment.
Yuu
That's a really unfortunate case of mistaken identity.
Yuu
I like this assassination target.
Anno
avengers are k ind of cool
Anno
>Avengers don't do more than what happened to the client That's a really weirdly specific career.
Yuu
>>401479 Well it's not really proper karmic revenge if you go any further than that.
Yuu
I'm thinking this V neck guy is super strong. He seems like someone who is actually the strongest.
Did he even question why this assassin is dressed as a girl?
Anno
I don't think ANYONE in this show has.
baynge
i'm home
Yuu
I feel like someone asked him about it in the first episode.
baynge
oh good i'm in time for takagi
Yuu
>>401487 welcome home! ryouuou and then takagi-san is next.
Anno
Well that was a somewhat relaxing moment in the middle of all this murderfuckery.
And now back to the regular scheduled broadcast I guess.
Yuu
>stop playing this the grenade sage advice
Anno
Hah hah is this unwitting guy going to end up like this the whole season. Accidentally stumbling up the rungs of his contract murder organization. Because that would be great.
Yuu
title drop!
Anno
what if hes a girl
Anno
Who just has five million yen in cash stashed like that.
Yuu
Well this V-neck guy is loaded, it seems.
Anno
He's probably made it big in the field of NEET detective-ing.
Yuu
I guess he looks a lot like Spike. He probably is the strongest.
It seems Dame-kun's troubles continue.
Samu 🦀 !KW2DbpWwls
I’ll make a V Ain your neck
Anno
Oddly topical. Congratulations, Samu.
Anno
Oh fuck.
Anno
:(
poor drunk guy got framed too
Yuu
Time for revenge, I guess!
Anno
this show is really cool
Yuu
I hope the crossdresser goes back to Spike. It looks like they will pair back up from the ED. They are a good combo.
Anno
I bet you'd like that.
Yuu
Let's Ryouuou! okay was jan or bang watching this one? I feel like not.
okay I think we're good to start then. Okay let's start!
Anno
Ryu u ou
I don't think Bang or Jan watched this. I tried to ping him to see -Jan I mean- to see if he was interested but I got no response so whatever.
Anno
ryu\
Anno
What.
baynge
nope
Anno
Oh right she's got to ace all the matches or else she loses her ability to play shogi FOREVER.
Anno
Ko-Doragon
Yuu
She's got the shogi auts.
Anno
This show and 3-gatsu running in the same season is a lot of pressure on me. It makes me want to learn shogi real bad.
I'd probably get the same way if there was a mahjong show running. Alas that fad in anime seems to have run its course for now.
Yuu
Would it be hard to find opponents for shogi in Canada?
Anno
Honestly, considering I live in the largest city, probably not. Though demographically I'd probably have an easier time if I lived in Vancouver or somewhere else in B.C. since a lot of Asian people migrate there.
But I'm kind of super-conscious in person and being a gaijin and a self-conscious weeaboo in a group of people who are either Asian or the kind of obnoxious weeaboo would probably be too much for me.
>>401567 Is shogi played by exclusively Japanese, or do Chinese play it too? I know there are a lot of Chinese in Canada.
I know that Chinese and Japanese both play mahjong, but the two play it very differently.
Anno
Yeah, I understand some of the differences between Chinese and Japanese mahjong.
Shogi is a game of Japanese origin though, and while I'm not going to presume no other Asian culture plays it, it's likely niche for them. We have a decent number of Japanese people living in Canada, but I believe the amount becomes much more sparse the further east you move along the country. For metropolitian Ontario, I'm much more likely to see people of Oceanic Asia than mainlaind Asia. Filipino, Thai, Vietnamese, people more of those cultures. Then it probably goes Chinese, and much less Korean and Japanese.
Yuu
I bet the ice queen girl is going to win this.
Anno
Yeah that's usually how these plot progressions goes.
And then her mother either budges on her previous insistence or after an extended rebellion arc, goes back on her word.
YuuAnno
We used to have this DS game that had a bunch of parlor games on it. Chess, maybe checkers, but also a bunch of card games like Poker and Hearts. But it was localized from a similar Japanese game so it had shogi as well. I remember it was pretty ruthless and didn't really explain things well. I should fish it out and see if it's as difficult as it was when I was a kid.
Oh I guess she really was evaluating him for marriage.
Anno
He's not really risking his way of life for her. It's not like he wouldn't be able to play shogi after starting to run an inn.
Yuu
Wow, everyone is on board with him getting married too.
Anno
I guess that's the end of the first volume. They always end on these sort of conclusionary notes. I guess in case the first volume actually tanks and they don't let the author write more.
Yuu
okay takagi-san I think we need Jan and Bang for this one.
hello hello
oaky I think that's all then. let's start!
Anno
I was in the washroom for a moment. I have my doubts that we'll have Jan for anything tonight. Not certain on Bang though.
Anno
hi
baynge
here
baynge
monster hunter sound effects
Anno
Such good friends.
Anno
what time
Anno
1:45 1:50 1:55
Anno
Apple and tea is a pretty good combination really.
baynge
he's so dumb she's SO smart and he's so DUMB
Anno
They got a really good seiyuu for Takagi. She's got the perfect soft voice for saying all the evil things perfectly innocently.
Yuu
It's like she's solid snake and he's liquid snake.
baynge
NO DON'T STOP YOU CHILD DO NOT ACT PRIDEFUL THIS WILL ONLY END IN SHAME
