Yuu
Oh not a lot new aired tonight, that's surprising.
Let's see, is tonight a no Jan night?
>>476148 There are some things I've been wanting to check out but we've been backlogged.
Anno
Well it's all stuff you all don't want to watch that aired.
Anno
No I mean it's stuff like Grancrest and Toji no Miko.
Yuu
Names are so hard this season. I forget what half of them are because nothing this season really has distinctive names.
Is Hina a jan show/
Anno
Yeah it definitely is.
Anno
Stuff that's easy to watch without Jan is Beatless, Steins;Gate, and anything that hasn't been started yet. He probably wouldn't care if we watched an episode of FMP or... Well honestly he probably wouldn't care if we went an episode without him on anything except Hinamatsuri.
Yuu
Yeah I'm thinking
FMP Steins Gate Beatless comic girls (he'll catch up on that)
Anno
Oh there should also be WotaKoi on that list.
Yuu
I think we should save Wotakoi for Jan.
okay FMPO oaky let's start
Anno
Fumoffu
Anno
ol
Yuu
This seems like it may be more battle and less school.
The previous series kind of took the battle parts seriously, but at the same time they were a backdrop for school life.
Anno
That's my understanding from my distanced observation of the series. It's probably especially jarring after the Fumoffu series that KyoAni did.
Yuu
Yeah, it was like a school series with military themes. The main series did take the military themes seriously, but there was no great sense of seriousness or danger from them most times. This season has started out as dire as the seasons before it were at their climaxes.
>>476212 And Fumoffu was completely tongue in cheek about everything. Considering that Fumoffu was the last FMP anime that I watched, it's a big tonal shift.
Anno
i dont know whats hpapejning]
Yuu
>>476219 So basibally there are good covert military guys and bad covert military guys. The progatonist works for the good military guys, and he is a badass who was a legendary child soldier and he's killed a lot of people. The silver haired girl you see now and then is the leader of the good guys. Her father was some legendary general. Her brother leads the bad military guys.
And yeah, the silver haired girl is girl #2.
The bluegreen haired girl is girl #1. THere's also something special about her that the bad guys want, but it has never been made exactly clear to the audience.
She's also occasionally had problems with violence like this, she's never liked violence. The current tone of the series of quite a bit more serious than it normally has been.
Anno
She's also the forever second place in the romance game for the MC.
Anno
>>476229 She's never liked violence despite being an aggressive tsundere.
Yuu
Yeah. All the killing people stuff makes her really uncomfortable.
It is probably the biggest source of friction between her and protagonist-kun because protagonist-kun is like Metal Gear's Raiden levels of having killed people.
Yuu
The silver haired girl (Tessa) is a lot more feminine but also a lot tougher than girl #1 I like Tessa a lot, I think she is best girl.
Anno
And you're totally not biased because she has silver hair.
Yuu
Well, silver hair is really great but I liked Tessa even before the trend of me liking silver hair developed probably
Anno
Probably.
Anno
Well that's probably a big issue with hosting military operations out of a public high school. Hostages are pretty much free pickings.
Yuu
Yeah this is tonally a lot more severe than a lot of the series has been. I wonder if they're going to keep with this tone the whole season or if they are going to de-escalate it. It seems like something is going to have to change with Chidori if it continues to be serious, I don't want to see her being sad and whiny the whole season.
Anno
I think this'll be the final season? Not certain about it but I believe this project is about finishing adapting the novels. So we might get the serious tone the whole way through because we're at the climax.
Yuu
Could be, that may explain things. I have a vague memory of shit being pretty serious when the last real season left off, but a lot of that data was overwritten by watching fumoffu after.
steins gate okay lets start
Anno
One kind of depressing thing about this series involving PTSD Okabe is there won't be any of the chuuni antics. I might end up missing the whole el psy congroo stuff.
Anno
stei n s
Anno
Oh nevermind he's still a little bit chuuni.
I GI A RI
Yuu
Oh he's getting served by that gaijin.
Anno
The depressing thing is, no matter what, this Okabe is gonna end up in a BAD END. He needs to in order for the main timeline Okabe to get what he needs to save Kurisu.
But maybe despite the BAD END he can find happiness.
Yuu
Maybe he'll get with this nice midget girl instead. I like her.
Anno
Yeah she seems pretty nice. Not tsundere like Kurisu but she's got a similar brainiac thing going on. I like her too.
Anno
This gaijin is pretty good too.
Yuu
JAPANESE LOVERS QUARREL
Yuu
Maybe he'll just end up as a NEET in love with his computer.
Anno
Definitely possible, if his computer is pretty much Kurisu.
Yuu
Okable has really perfected his haunted look.
Anno
Just in time for all his PTSD to hit him like a truck.
Anno
This KurisAI doesn't even know him though. So it's still kind of brutal.
Yuu
What is Okabe's major anyway? He was just a smart NEET before, wasn't he? Now he plays tennis.
Anno
Nah he was a university student even back in the original game/anime. I think it was something Physics-based? Some kind of science major at least.
Anno
Yeah in the first-
Ah hah hah hah.
Oh no it made his tongue slip. This is pretty good.
Anno
Anyway in the first story Kurisu shot down his time machine hard. Now the KurisAI seems to think they're possible. Though the KurisAI is Kurisu's memories from a month or so before she first came to Japan, so it's curious to know where the change instigates from. Is it a previous thought of her human memories or did the AI come to that conclusion itself?
Yuu
He had a time machine in this world line too, didn't he?
Anno
There was the bicycle girl's time machine that she took from the future to get to this time period. I think that's still here. Probably has to be if Suzu is still around.
There's also the thing he has that lets him send his consciousness back in time. Maybe he trashed that when he gave up in this timeline.
Yuu
He has a depression app on his phone now. sasuga okabe
Anno
The KurisAI is a 3D model of her instead of being animated normally. That's a nice detail I think. After all it would have to be a 3D model if the technology to do what they've done was possible.
It's kind of wild how all these late 00s-early 10s shows are getting sequels or stuff lately. Makes me feel like I've slipped backwards like eight years.
Yuu
okay beatless ep 14 i believe okay lets start!
Anno
beat
yes
Anno
Beatmania
Anno
So now that he's actually confessed to his robowaifu kind of. Are we gonna be stuck in a lovey-dovey sequence now.
Yuu
wow, really obvious good cop bad cop
Anno
Well it does kind of work.
Anno
His imouto is gonna feel awkward as fuck now. Like the worst kind of third wheel.
Anno
Oh she's pretty much perfectly aware of all this.
YuuAnno
>What happens when he turns eighteen? Then they're gonna be fucking like RABBITS.
Yuu
That is a lovey dovey robot
Anno
Yeah she seems almost more eager for all this to happen than he is.
Anno
Wasn't this guy clobbered to death by zombie robots.
Yuu
Analog hack is a really funny phrase for "tricked by robots"
Yuu
Oh, so Lacia was actually the last completed. The show thus far has led us to believe that Methode was the ultimate robot, but it may actually be Lacia that is the ultimate robot.
Anno
Yeah that's a bit of language trickery involved. Lacia so far has been called onee-sama by the other Lacia-class robots, as she's the first in the line. But if she was the last to be finished then she might have hardware and perfections that the others don't,
Yuu
So far Lacia has only really shown outstanding potential as a waifubot though. Maybe the AI that created them had its priorities straight.
Anno
>I have my pride! What she said was more like >I have my pride as a woman! though.
Yuu
I noticed that too. Bad translation.
Anno
yahallo
Yuu
oh hi jan you're just in time. about 8 minutes and we watch comic girls
Anno
I watched that already becauseI I thought I'd be late gomen
Anno
it was a good eepisode
Anno
Oh fuck these two.
Anno
>>476402 Are you going to be around over the weekend?
Anno
Oh are all the Lacias assembling.
Yuu
>>476401 Oh I see in that case we're doing watakoi
we'll do comic girls when you aren't around
Anno
They're just missing Rika's favourite robutt and all the Lacias would be here.
hmm if jan isn't around we should do comic girls instead
Yeha I think that's a possibility
oh look there he is okay watakoi we're all orange let's start!
Anno
Koi wa muzukashii.
I feel he might've tapped out after giving us the update.
Anno
ol'
Anno
okay i'm here and ready with wotakoi >>476411 ye of little faith
Anno
>>476409 my bad i was trying to reply to >>476406 as well and say i was going to get changed looks like my mobile net dropped as i stepped through my front door
Anno
That is a super glitzy...bow? I think he's using a bow there. It's super glitzy though.
Anno
that's an actual weapon in mhxx >>476432 yeah it's a bow all the weapons from this monster look like crazy gold egyptian pyramid shit
Geez those are gaudy. I still wish they'd brought over XX.
Yuu
Oh yeah they're dating now. I have high expectations for this show.
Anno
>>476439 same i'm probably going to get the japanese edition >play MH at home >play MH on the way to work >play MH at work on break >get off work go to the bar and play MH living the dream
Anno
>>476440 It's a solid manga. They've padded out the anime it seems, with some more SoL-y stuff that helps set the characters a bit. Like that bit before the OP now wasn't in the manga. It'll probably deflate the humour of the show a bit since they're not riding punchline to punchline, but that'll probably help with the comfiness too.
Anno
the hand dancing part of the op is so cute
Anno
Yeah it's totes adorbs. I want to do hand dancing with a cute girl.
Anno
Sugita's character in this show is great. He's both the responsible sempai and the least otaku-y of the main cast. So he's a bit of a tsukkomi to the rest of the cast.
Yuu
This girl just made a terrible mistake.
AnnoAnno
These two get so ANGRY. I'm so happy they've got Sugita and Sawashiro for them.
Oh they're a lot more subtle about telling the audience that those two are also dating.
Yuu
This couple reminds me of another couple.
The female lead is kind of like a more tsundere otaku Chiyo.
Anno
Though Chiyo wasn't much of an otaku, let alone fujoshi. I see where you're coming from though.
Yuu
Yeah I said she was an more tsundere otaku Chiyo. She's only vaguely similar in terms of personality and appearance but they're somewhat similar somehow.
