A lot of this series is super slow. It doesn't do much to keep itself interesting.
Yuu
I do think it's one of the more dull things that we watch.
Anno
It's just a matter of a sore point for me. I'd like nothing more than for an interesting fantasy series. But these "serious" fantasy series always end up more dull than the LN fantasy series that lean on isekai or similar tropes.
Yuu
It seems to me that this needs fewer characters and more action.
Anno
I do agree that it's made weaker by the sheer number of characters it throws at you. Maybe it's the kind of thing that's easier to keep track of in text, but it definitely feels dizzying when in a show.
Anno
what did i make it in time for
Anno
Pop Team Epic and FranXX at the least.
CODE: ascendant bang of finality (advanced mode) [alter]
ALRIGHT i'm about to be actually ready i should be back before that show ends
Anno
>>421233 well i'll just watch whatever is up if you're in the middle of an episode i'll jump in finally beat the main meat of mhw i am freeeee
Anno
>>421235 We've got five minutes left in Grandcrest; feels a bit late to jump in. But we're definitely watching Pop Team Epic and FranXX tonight, I'm just not sure what Rika wants to or doesn't want to shuffle around to satisfy her comfy autism.
Anno
Oh Theo's meidos are the werewolf girls from that one episode. I'd kind of forgotten about them.
Anno
ok it's dl/ed timestamp plz
Anno

Anno

Anno
>>421243 Sucking up that data through your information tendrils!
>>421245 Uh I don't really know I wasn't really thinking that at all.
>>421242 I believe Jan is downloading it at the moment.

CODE: ascendant bang of finality (advanced mode) [alter]
and then BASEBALL BAT
Anno
An English anime news site did an interview with the director for Pop Team Epic and it had some really great bits to it. The reason they have different seiyuu for each episode is because they figured whoever they picked, some group of the audience would throw a hissy fit over it being the wrong voices. So they just got everyone to do voices to shut them up.
And they gave some of the panels to a French animator with no translations, and the guy can't read Japanese. Which is why there's those weird French skits in some of the episodes.
CODE: ascendant bang of finality (advanced mode) [alter]
this is dope
CODE: ascendant bang of finality (advanced mode) [alter]
this is actuallly really fuckin cool
CODE: ascendant bang of finality (advanced mode) [alter]
this is so dope
Yuu
This is really well done.
CODE: ascendant bang of finality (advanced mode) [alter]
oh my god
Anno
what the fuck this is advanced art
Anno
also the style looks like group_inou
CODE: ascendant bang of finality (advanced mode) [alter]
this is insane
Anno
i wish i was as high as the producers of this anime
CODE: ascendant bang of finality (advanced mode) [alter]
this was beautiful
Yuu
Those guys are talented.
Anno
>break a string during performance >retunre your six string into a five string L E G E N D
Anno
Oh shit more Undertale references.
Anno
undertale? i guess i missed it
Anno
During that pixel art skit with of the racing game. Right at the end with the "OH YEAH" appearance.
Anno
oh i'm a bit behind i just saw it wow its so obvious that's pretty cool actually
Anno
Yeah, I'm pretty sure there was a less obvious reference in an earlier episode too. I guess someone in the creative staff is a fan of the game.
Anno
Geez fuck louise.
CODE: ascendant bang of finality (advanced mode) [alter]
oh no.....
Anno
Oh shit it's the French guy again.
CODE: ascendant bang of finality (advanced mode) [alter]
i smell baguettes in the future
CODE: ascendant bang of finality (advanced mode) [alter]
wow no baguette
Anno
What.
CODE: ascendant bang of finality (advanced mode) [alter]
NO
CODE: ascendant bang of finality (advanced mode) [alter]
blue-ray
Anno
man if this guy can get stoned and write stupid ass jokes and get a check what am i doing with my life
Anno
And now it's Pokemon.
Anno
This week is made all the more absurd by Popuko's baby voice the seiyuu is using.
Anno
this show is so meta
CODE: ascendant bang of finality (advanced mode) [alter]
i like this better than the actual theme i think
Anno
Koi ni doroppu doroppu
Yuu
>>421280 YEah. That voice was so over the top. I think this may be the week that the female voice actors outdo the guys.
CODE: ascendant bang of finality (advanced mode) [alter]
i overestimated my stamina i'm actually not gonna watch the male VA vers and also i'm going to pass the FUCK out
Anno
literally me
Yuu
>>421285 Okay, we're doing mahou instead of franXX anyway. So you're relieved, bye bye
CODE: ascendant bang of finality (advanced mode) [alter]
okey doke, i'll be here for samurai franxx tomorrow bye byeeeeeeeeee
I just had to jump ahead to see what the translation for the French bit was this episode. They only ever have the translation for it in the second bit.
You got to go the whole way to call yourself a stalker.
Anno
this show makes me so hungry
Anno
>>421354 i need to catch up on slow start i'm behind on a bunch of decent shows cause i just binged monster hunter
Anno
Yeah I get that. Slow Start's pretty episodic though.
Anno
i really liked slow start but i just didn't like it enough alll i've even watched is franxx haha
Anno
Slow Start, Yuru Camp, Violet Evergarden, FranXX, and Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho might be my top list for the season, in no particular order. But there's a lot of good stuff this season.
Anno
One of the reasons I like this show is the ramen lectures. It's weirdly engaging.
Anno
yeah it's a niche show but the way they're presenting the information is cool
Anno
who wants to go visit japan and hit up a ramen shop for every prefecture we'll bike from south to north and make a ramen journal and sell it when we're done
Anno
I'd love to do that. When I was in Japan I got a lot of fun out of writing up food blog-style paragraphs for the emails I was sending home to my folks.
YuuAnno
Oh shit they're at Hakata Ramen.
YuuAnno
She is slowly getting Koizumi to warm up to her. Kind of.
Anno
i wish i had friends to hang out and eat ramen with
Yuu
that was good thanks for anime!
Anno
>>421390 i think i might save up and quit my job and take an extended vacation when i finally go i really wanna get the most out of it since it's a place i've always wanted to visit i gotta find someone else crazy enough to do something extreme like that with me though
Anno
I'll go with you!
Anno
thanksss
Anno
Thanks.
Anno
>>421402 i really want toooo i'm scared to visit a different land mass it's my first time and i don't want to end up lost and confused and unable to make basic conversation with the locals maybe i should download one of those language learning mobile apps
