Hopefully the people we are expecting for FranXX will show up later. so I'm thinking
nanatsu citrus franXX mitsuboshi colors takunomi
does this sound good?
Anno
Sure, I've got no problem with that.
Yuu
nanatsu okay let's start!
Anno
nananna
Anno
Nana nana nana nan nana nana
Yuu
I've been looking forward to this episode.
Yuu
REDEMPTION ARC
Anno
Or maybe it's just more of the jobbing arc.
Yuu
I'm hoping the jobbing is done soon.
Everyone needs to power up big time to deal with these new villains though. I'm interested to see how they're going to handle the fact that the cast needs such extreme power ups.
Anno
The three knights are all at least some kind of armored. But Hendrickson is fighting in casual clothes.
Yuu
Meloidas standing over this whole is the best looking part of the first season's OP.
Anno
It goes deeeeeeeep.
Anno
thats kinda dumb why didnt he tell his brother immediately oh
Anno
All the little things are coming together. I like it when this happens.
Anno
whoa they both have bangs that cover one eye!!
Anno
Yes Squid that has been evident from the first season when they were introduced.
Anno
That masked guy was studying the naked Gowther with intent.
Yuu
Gowther is a dangerous person.
Anno
>In order to beat these bad guys who are sronger than us, we need to become stronger
Yuu
TRAINING ARC
Anno
Ban's the most well-rounded of the Sins. All of the other ones have a particular focus in one direction, but his numbers are better distributed.
Yuu
I imagine that we don't have a very good grasp on what Meloidas is actually capable of. I think he's got a demon form or two to unlock that we haven't seen before. He could actually be good at magic, too, since his magic is demonic he wouldn't have used it yet.
Anno
Yeah I figure his real numbers are probably more on par with the Commandments. But at the moment, the most well-rounded is Ban.
Anno
Oh RIP
Yuu
I wonder why Gowther decided to get in the way of the shipping? Just for the lulz?
Anno
lol >>422281 no i think the hammer to the head messed with her maybe or wait no gowther is messisng with her too
Anno
He is kind of a jerkass.
Yuu
Gowther has been messing with her head for a bunch of episodes, yeah. I'm sure this has to do with that.
okay next was citrus okay lets start!
Anno
Seetorasu
Anno
6
Anno
Yuzu's kind of a little crazy.
Yuu
>I'm trying to get this idiot to study and she won't stop being gay
Yuu
And this new girl is going to be pure 100% evil and drama.
Anno
Well she's in middle school and she's scamming perverted old men. You don't get like that without being a little broken.
Yuu
Harumi is a saint. If something like that happened in front of me I'd be like oh I have to go for today see ya
Anno
Harumin is doing her best to be a mother hen to Yuzu. Which she desperately needs.
Anno
Yuzu is hoooopeless.
Anno
Conniving.
Yuu
Time for drama!
Anno
She's completely unrelentless. Can't even relax properly at school.
Yuu
Wow, Mei is defending her territory personally.
Anno
You've got to stake your ground carefully when a rival predator is around.
Yuu
I bet Mei's behavior really did make /a/ rage when the manga was at this part since she isn't acting interested but is defending her territory.
Anno
I feel that somenoe isn't looking closely enough at Mei or reading enough under the surface if they think that. Mei's just really good at drawing up into a shell.
Anno
Its It's weird since the bubblegum cutesy voice they got for her wasn't what I was hearing when I read the bit of the manga that was translated way back when. But it's still a good voice and suits her. Still makes for a bit of dichotomy.
Yuu
okay franXX
okay let's start!
Anno
Daringu
Anno
ri psamura i
Anno
That looked like a couple ruined apartment buildings they ran over. I guess we're still probably on Earth at some point in its ruined future.
Yuu
They have a cube with horns.
Anno
Ichigo's partner is a good guy.
Anno
Poor Ichigo.
Anno
childhood friend brutaly murders herself
Anno
The main cast's robots are so colourful. I love it.
Yuu
So the orange parts are the striking parts. I've noticed that one of the robots only has striking parts on the legs. Have we seen it attack any way other than kicking?
Anno
I don't think so. We haven't actually seen a lot of footage of the robots fighting. And the majority of what we've seen has been of Strellizia.
Yuu
Oh, there you have it. That unit seems to have gun arms and stabby legs.
Anno
Ichigo, you shouldn't get worked up too Oh I forgot my green arrow.
But what I wanted to say is that it's a bit too late for her to not get worked up.
Anno
Spears are good weapons.
Yuu
Oh look, they had to reload orange into their spears.
Anno
Strelizia has tubing that leads from her spear into the main body. So maybe that's why riding in the robot kills the guy. It saps power for the spears from the pistil.
Yuu
Yeah, her's is probably special. I wonder if protagonist-kun is going to explode.
Anno
HORNED CUBE IS ANGRY. DO NOT DISTURB THE HORNED CUBE
Anno
henshin
Yuu
ruru nerds got ruined
Anno
Oh no Hiro is going blue in the face.
Anno
Oh man this is some Shadow of the Collosus shit.
Anno
ichigos gonna die i can feeeel it
Anno
Yeah that was going to happen.
Yuu
Yeah, I was thinking that was way too easy.
Anno
Oh hell it's a rocket hammer now.
Anno
And now Ichigo is BSOD-ing because of it all. Take about a depression spiral.
Yuu
He really is taking it easy.
Anno
Once you're dead you're allowed to take it as easy as you want.
Anno
He really does look bad.
Yuu
He just needs a little rest.
Anno
Those aren't wings you two those are rocket boosters.
Anno
I want to see more of this cyborg Dr. Wiley.
Yuu
that was a good episode.
mitsuboshi colors okay lets start
Anno
Karasu
Anno
cal
Anno
Weekly reminded that Kotoha is BAD AT GAMES.
YuuAnno
Wow I didn't actually expect this week's skits to pick up on the Kotoha bullying too.
Yuu
n o m e r c y
Anno
Oh the author of Marchen Madchen passed away before the full script for the story was finished. He was also the author of Mayoi Neko Overrun; I liked the anime for that one.
Maybe that's why the story gets a bit flat.
Anno
What are these three doing.
Yuu
Mayoi Neko Overrun had some CUTE characters.
Is his passing going to affect the madchen anime?
Anno
He died in May 2016; the first volume of the LN series Marchen Madchen is adapted from came out in February 2017. He's credited as an author but it looks like the actual writing is done by something called StoryWorks. I just kind of agree with Bang that the series started off interesting and in recent episodes has gotten kind of underwhelming. And I'm wondering if his passing might be an influence in that.
Anno
And these three are now running around shouting "BODY".
Yuu
>>422345 Could be. I feel that it became somewhat generic in the last episode.
Anno
Oh there's this week's UNKO.
Anno
Oh no.
Anno
I got a pair of cotton gloves like those with the desk chair I got for Christmas.
Anno
These three kids are the ABSOLUTE worst.
Anno
Halloween-poi
Anno
Halloween is a pretty recent introduction to Japan. You never saw any references to it even in the late 00s' except in stuff like trivial information. But now it's common enough that they can do trick-or-treating references in anime. I find that kind of neat.
Anno
Yui's costume is pretty cute.
Anno
the park will be full of zombies
Anno
Starbachos
Yuu
no don't do it
Anno
Oh no.
Anno
She did it in the privacy of their base. I guess that's all right.
Anno
Oh no.
Anno
that was silly oh no
Yuu
zombie games are tough
Anno
I'm surprised they got all these people in on the game. What an idyllic world they live in.
Yuu
It seems pretty fun. If kids did that in my area I'd consider playing along a little.
Anno
Yeah I think I could go along with it too, if the weather was good and I wasn't too busy.
Aw poor Saito got left behind.
Yuu
Seems like it was halloween time too, so I can see people playing along with a seasonal thing.
Anno
i think im done for tonight
Yuu
We'll save Takunomi for a time when you have more life in you then.
What episode of Dagashi are we on? 4? 5?
Anno
Ma Ta A shi taaaa
Anno
>>422368 We haven't even watched episode three, hah hah.
Yuu
I guessed conservatively on Cardcaptors and was wrong, and now I'm wrong for guessing ahead on Dagashi.
okay dagashi 3
thanks for anime ika
okay let's start!
Anno
There's been so many shows to watch this season, it's easy to get mixed up on them. I only knew because I loaded up three on a hunch.
Yuu
I think I've read this manga chapter. I remember them playing with these.
Anno
Oh. Ow.
Anno
Who just goes around lugging a barrel around.
Anno
That second skirt shows more leg. I approve.
Anno
Oh no.
Anno
Oh yeah she always loses at games like this, doesn't she. I seem to remember that being a persistent skit from the previous animation.
Yuu
The thing that always strikes me as odd about her character is that her girl power is so ridiculously high even though she's autistically single minded about candy and games.
Anno
I guess she got second place this time though, which isn't that bad.
Anno
Hotaru was ridiculous even when she was a kid.
Anno
;_;
Yuu
see she's always dressed to the nines with perfectly done nails that doesn't just happen! It's weird to imagine that a candy autist is capable of that level fo card. care
Anno
Well she's also a bit of an ojou, coming from a big family of candy manufacturers or something. But it is a bit over the top.
