Didn't we watch free last night? Is there another episode?
Yuu
Oh, I see. There is.
okay
black clover free steins gate kyoto holmes
Anno
Yeah, we dallied with watching it that it ended up sticking around until right before this week's.
Yuu
Is that Beatless 25 I see one of the final episodes we were promised?
Anno
Oh that's a new addition in the past hour. It probably is, unless it's another one of the series' beloved recaps.
Yuu
Wanna do that instead of free?
Anno
It looks like a proper episode, so if you want to watch it, I'm good for that.
Yuu
okay
black clover beatless steins gate kyoro holmes
black clover okay lets start!
Anno
Clovis
Anno
Kuro Kusoba
Yuu
Is this a recap episode?
Anno
Noooo clue.
Yuu
nah looks like not just a really long start of episode recap, as expected of shounen
Anno
Yeah, nothing like five minutes of recap so they don't have to cover as many chapters in one episode.
Anno
The Wizard King is kind of a jerk, dropping her like that.
Yuu
I don't know how this new arc will be.
Anno
I feel like it's not even an arc. It's just a brief bit to show how strong Yuno has gotten while Asta was off breaking both his arms.
Yuu
okay beatless okay lets start!
Anno
Time to hastily try and recall what exactly was happening in this show.
Anno
beat
Anno
>Mass-produced Kouka models What a terrifying concept.
Anno
Hah hah. He's a boyfriend that has to meet the dad now.
Yuu
>>579098 His robot girlfriend was trying to save and/or conquer the world.
Anno
No, I remember that much. I'm more particular to the details. I don't recall the mention of mass-produced Koukas after all.
Yuu
>>579103 Yeah, they were shown a few times before.
Anno
The juxtaposition between Lacia's hyper-competence and Arato's kind of bumbling manner is funny.
Anno
>Red Box AIs making Red Box AIs In pretty much any science fiction horror story this is always the beginning of the end.
Anno
Oh she's not dead yet.
Anno
Nothing like a cool and collected voice to inform you of an imminent missile impact.
Anno
Oh no Snowdrop's not dead yet.
Yuu
looks like things aren't going according to keikaku though.
Yuu
okay steins gate! okay lets start!
Anno
I think this might be the last aired episode for this series. I've seen chatter of an OVA to be released though.
Anno
steins
Anno
last episode
Anno
Taim masine
Anno
Oh right he's really broken the timeline this time. Or maybe brought it back closer to normal.
Anno
Kagari has a point even if she shouldn't really know it. In the traditional world lines from Steins;Gate she never gets to meet Mayuri. If Suzuha gets to use the time machine to go back the world lines will probably drift back into the ones from then.
Yuu
yeah I guess she can just go with them.
Anno
Oh this is a good third option though.
Anno
>Her smile and optimism: restored
Yuu
Looks like she doesn't get to go with them though.
Anno
Well it's a choice she makes herself.
Hah hah hah here we go agaaaaiiiinnnn
Anno
He sure took that missile to the face with a grin.
Yuu
Looks like he actually got it right this time.
Anno
He's kind of lost it in the process too. This is a funny still shot though.
Anno
How would a cellphone even register an incoming call from your own cellphone.
Anno
The difference between this Mayuri and 0-Mayuri is pretty distinct.
Yuu
I wonder where they'll land. I hope we get to see.
Anno
This scene was hinted at in the OP. It's always neat to see stuff like that get its full context.
Anno
Twenty-two and a half episodes all to make sure a single slap to the face takes place!
Yuu
So he's hopping to the right world line?
Anno
My understanding is that Steins;Gate 0 is a parallel Okarin to the one for the original VN. Or well, it ends up on a world line divergence which, after certain other details and Okarin falling into PTSD, means WWIII is an inevitability.
But at the same time, this Bad End of S;G 0 is critical for the actual Okabe of the original VN to get his shit together and save Kurisu. Since it's what triggers Mayuri to slap sense into him. And it's also where the video of this oji-san Okabe telling the actual Okabe how to "deceive the world" comes from.
Or something. Stuff that leans heavily on time travel inevitably gets complex and confusing.
Anno
I've got a feeling this older Okabe is using the time machine to go find where Suzuha and Mayuri crashlanded. Somehow.
Anno
Hah hah hah. Even grown up Okabe can't help but try so hard to look cool.
Anno
This vocalized take on this track is really good too.
Yuu
pretty good series okay kyoto holmes okay lets tsart!
Anno
I saw chatter that the SciADV team (who made the VNs of Steins;Gate, Robotic;Notes, Chaos;Head, and others) are putting out a new VN soon too. I wonder if it'll get an adaptation any time soon.
Anno
Kyoto
Anno
that ending episode was pretty great I liked the vlocalized ost
Anno
Yeah it was a really nice take on it. And the call back to the original OP was a nice nostalgia trip too.
Anno
Also Boku no Hero Academia has been greenlit for a fourth anime series. I don't know when it'll air though.
Anno
>Looking at beautiful things will hone your eye >She lingers her gaze on Holmes
Anno
Oh my, a European greeting.
Anno
Grumpy old man.
Anno
I wonder who that might be, showing up to this party.
Anno
She's gotten better at this.
Anno
Wow, what. a. shocking. development.
YuuAnno
This woman is really picking her words carelessly.
Anno
Or maybe intentionally maliciously.
Anno
Oh no.
Anno
I guess we're heading deep into that younger josei genre pretty fast.
Yuu
wow, she had a boyfriend!
Anno
Poor guy tried to be deep and introspective.
Anno
Oh Holmes is dropping the polite Japanese again. He does a good Kansai-ben.
Anno
She's super dense and Holmes is in denial. Oh I guess she's not dense anymore, hah hah.
Speak of the devil.
Anno
At least they did one of those classic romantic Japanese sayings right at the end. Probably the best we'll get.
Yuu
Yeah, I think that's the best we're going to get. Okay, thanks for anime!
