Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo. Dr. Stone Enen no Shouboutai Fruits Basket Granbelm Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Joshikousei no Mudazukai Kimetsu no Yaiba Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Nakanohito Genome [Jikkyouchuu] Vinland Saga --Episode 1-3
Whole lotta new stuff.
Yuu
okay gimme a sec to gather everything up
Anno
Araburu is some manga that's being written by Okada Mari I think. It's a bit weird but might be fun. Dr. Stone is a Shounen Jump manga adaptation. It's kind of adventure-y with a focus on Science Is COOL. Enen no Shouboutai is the new(er) series from the mangaka of Soul Eater. We should probably save this one if Jan's not around. Granbelm is cute girls piloting mecha I think. Character designer is the one that did the characters for Re:Zero and Conception. Joshikousei is the cute girls doing cute things show that's replacing Bocchi's timeslot I think. Lord El-Melloi is that show with adult Waver from Fate/Zero solving magic mysteries. Don't really know what Nakanohito is. Vinland Saga is about vikings. The three episodes that are out are probably an advanced screening so there's a chance we won't get more of it for another three weeks, so there's no need to rush through it I think.
月
did you ping Jan? i need to grab some food but i've got everything
Anno
I'll go check now.
Yuu
okay sorry for the delay what do you guys wanna watch and did we get jan?
月
Dr. Stone is popsci huh eww
Enen no Shouboutai sounds good but we should ave that for jan
Let's check out nakanohato and see what that is maybe? >>712250 oh okay im really an indecisive person i dunno
Anno
Hm, that might not quite be accurate. More like silly science. Like "I can see where the rationale behind this is in real world mechanics but realistically it wouldn't actually work that way".
Yuu
I've actually seen the first ep of Dr. Stone and it wasn't bad
Anno
Wow Rika I can't believe you're CHEATING on us again.
Yuu
haha
yeah we watched the episode 0 for melloi awhile ago it was okay
i think
oh what's something comfy
Anno
Lord El-Melloi will probably be Fate-style fun.
Best contenders for comfy would probably be Joshikousei followed by Araburu. But Araburu will probably be a little bit peculiar as well.
we could finish off cindy nindy just to get them out of here
Anno
A fifth might be a good idea. I don't think the weekdays are too saturated with anime but better safe than sorry. JoJo and Cinderella are also last-episode stragglers from last season so once they're out of the way by next weekend I'll have a better picture of what the anime terrain is like for this season.
Yuu
kimetsu!
we'll cram a 5 in probably probably after melloi
okay lets start
月
[]=[]
Anno
Reaaaady
月
oh i forgot to watch 13 i can kind tell what happened though already
Anno
Yeah, Yaiba's still a shounen after all. They don't exactly have complex plots, hah hah.
月
SC really hates this show haha I'm not really sure why
she's super elitist about her shounen I wish she'd join us
Anno
She likes Black Clover and hates this, huh. That's kind of a questionable sense of taste.
Yuu
boar guy is cool
Anno
There's been a lot of Shounen Jump stuff lately that we've been watching. This, Black Clover, BokuBen, Dr. Stone, Hero Academia when it resumes in autumn.
月
>>712271 he is cool I bet he's really ugly under the mask though
Yuu
I think this is definitely better than black clover. Black Clover does have moments where it's good though.
月
oof that was a crunchy sound oh
Anno
Hah hah hah he's not ugly he's just got a feminine face. That's probably ugly by his terms though.
月
hate when that happens
Anno
Wow Tanjirou's got a super sturdy forehead.
Anno
He really goes from zero to a hundred fast.
Yuu
he has a battle hardened forehead!
Anno
Ah hah hah hah hah Holy shit Tanjirou is so unaware of how insulting he's being.
Anno
The Demon Slayers really don't give their members much reprieve. From one job to another.
月
i think SC thinks this show is just too pretentious for a shounen
i personally feel like it's only pretending to be serious so it can make more fun of itself
月
why is that crow still alive yeah boar guy has the right idea
Anno
Poor Tanjirou has such a bunch of assholes he needs to herd around.
月
im surprised blondie hasn't asked boar guy to marry him yet
Anno
Looks like the personality is a bit too much for him to handle.
Anno
Boarguy is too stupid to understand why people don't get mad like animals do.
Anno
We haven't been able to see Nezuko for a few episodes. Nice to see her again.
Anno
Oh that went by fast.
月
i keep forgetting to nab screenshots nezuko had some good shots that episode even though she was barely in it
Yuu
okay dr. stone! okay lets start!
月
haha i saw this earlier and thought it was just an edit or something
Anno
She blinded me with SCIENCE
Yuu
This guy looks super shounen.
Anno
The artist for the manga is a Korean guy. He's done a few monthly seinen manga in Japanese magazines in the past but this is his first weekly work I think.
月
is he gonna do it no he isn't ok
Anno
WHAT'S HAPPENING!?
Anno
Science guy technically won that bet. Didn't get rejected, after all.
Yuu
This is kinda messed up in what happened to everybody.
Anno
Yeah. It's kind of funny though. He remains mentally aware for like thousands of years on sheer "I'm gonna confess" willpower alone.
Yuu
yeah it's kinda like that would make someone insane
月
i think it's probably okay just like being in a coma
people don't go insane from comas
Yuu
he talked about not losing consciousness
so I think he was awake the whole time
Anno
Maybe he's too stupid to go insane though.
Anno
At least get her un-stoned before you confess dude.
月
that's pretty sweet
Anno
I guess that's another way to keep yourself from going insane too. Just keep your brain constantly chewing.
月
im good at counting things it's a good thing to be able to do
pace counting helps a ton when you're doing cross country stuff or biking across several states
Anno
I'm decent at counting but it's kind of something I can only do single-track with my brain.
Anno
>We're going to become the Adam and Eve of this new world Dude that's kind of gay.
月
this looks pretty fun i love foraging
Anno
Yeah I only checked out the first handful of chapters of this, which is mostly all them in this tech age. I do know they eventually get to more advanced tech ages.
Yuu
This is like that video where the autralian guy makes stuff in his backyard. Like houses and pots and stuff.
Anno
Primitive Technology is the channel. He was originally doing it on a plot of land owned by a friend but two or so years back he bought his own plot of land out in the Australian rainforest where he does all his work now. Originally it was just a hobby and the videos were just him doing it for record but it caught on pretty well.
月
>>712314 he's super lowkey i bet he can't even build a generator
Anno
It's kind of weird that it's just small birds and people that got turned to stone. We did see a whole bunch of living animals in the timelapse.
Anno
Hah hah. That's sure a way to get underaged kids in a Shounen Jump manga drinking alcohol.
月
i think it's fine to let kids drink alcohol they don't really like it anyway so if it' allowed they won't want it
they'd rather have mountain dew
Anno
Oh this is a really cool bit. A visual timelapse is neat to see in an anime.
Anno
Hah hah he's what, genetically a seventeen year-old. How does he get such a thick beard.
>>712319 Probably, but in a magazine like Shounen Jump they could probably get into social trouble for promoting it. Just because most kids probably wouldn't like alcohol, there's likely some that would be fine with it, and kids really shouldn't be drinking alcohol.
月
Yeah, that wasn't too bad! it's got an interesting premise and the big dummy is kind of an adorable character
Anno
He's just so absolutely positive.
Anno
The OST's pretty solid too. I like a show with a good OST.
Anno
Hah hah, that's a funny warning message they've got at the end.
月
they put a substantial amount of effort into finding a scenario to make the scientific knowledge useful too like the whole stone thing that's pretty neat
Oh this is actually starting chronologically from Waver's time as Iskandar's master.
Anno
She even does that single-eye squint thing Keyneth did.
Anno
Oh cool some Mystic Eyes.
Anno
This Waver isn't quite as cool as the adult Waver in episode 00. He's at least a bit better than Fate/Zero Waver though.
月Anno
Keyneth was a real piece of shit but his death in the Holy Grail War was a real miserable piece of work.
月
oh
Yuu
Kiritsugu was a crazy guy.
Yuu
They really know what they're doing, putting Waiver in a skirt.
Anno
I think those are shorts he's wearing.
Yuu
oh it just looked like a skirt.
Anno
He's dressed a litle anachronistically though. If we assume Fate/Stay Night takes place in the early 00s since the VN came out then, then Fate/Zero's Holy Grail War takes place in the early 90s. So this event is happening probably around 1997-99. Yet Waver's dressed like he belongs in contemporary time in that outfit.
Anno
Wow she's got some kind of Mystic Eyes too.
月
there was a 0 episode for this right
Anno
She's on such a massive highchair to be on the same eye level as him.
>>712342 Yeah, it takes place a bit in the future. Kind of what's probably somewhere in the middle of the LN volumes that are already out. It gives a look at the main characters of the series.
Anno
Oh I really liked that transition from Waver to Iskandar.
Yuu
It was a nice touch how he ended up in the reality marble.
Anno
Yeah, it's neat that even across time he sees himself as a loyal follower of Iskandar.
Anno
Adult Waver is pretty kakkoii though.
月
i think i need to do a little context reading but i like it quite a bit already
Anno
Yeah, I thought you might like it. It goes into the culture of the Magus of Type-MOON's world in a similar fashion to KnK and Mahoutsukai.
月
i like type moon stuff a lot but i'm not as deep into it as i need to be mainly the fates are a little daunting to start into there's a lot of stuff i'll get there eventually
Yuu
okay what to cram in
okay araburu! oh it's okada OKAADAAAAAAAAAA
oaky lets start!
Anno
Vinland or Nakanohito might be all right. Or we can close off Cinderella.
Anno
>>712350 Despite using some Fate characters, this doesn't actually touch much of the Fate content. What we've gotten this episode is probably the bulk of it, honestly.
月
araburu kitetsu? do we know anything about it i just pulled it up to peek and it looks cute
i vote for it anyway but we can do cinderella
Anno
Araburu is definitely going to be interesting. Okada Mari is a good writer that really does the human dynamic in an engaging way. But she also some times throws curveballs at you.
月
yaya araburu yay* oaky
Anno
Wow this is some pretty excessive smut.
月
better get my screencap key ready there's lots of cute in here
Anno
This fluffy black-haired girl has a really good seiyuu. She does a great snarky voice.
月
oh that girl has the new release of iBrowse
Anno
>Reading the train timetable for fun Wow is this guy a train otaku.
月
i like this girl she reminds me of someone
Anno
Teenage girls sure are monsters.
月
yeah they really are
these two are cute dorks haha
Yuu
Seems a little different than the normal Okada. They're usually more guys.
Anno
Well she also did HisoMaso, that show with the dragons that ate their pilots. That one was a lot of female characters too.
月
wow she's using adult chatrooms
Anno
The pork soup's getting into everyone's brain.
月
hahaha wow
Anno
Wow. Kids sure are goofballs.
Anno
;_;
Anno
>Cliches are important This girl gets it.
Anno
Oh gosh.
月
Oh, I remember this synopsis now
Anno
Yeah, I knew this was gonna get to this point at one point.
Anno
Hah hah hah. She's being a bit chuuni about the concept of time. Not technically incorrect but not really accurate either.
Anno
You know, the class 3-D is kind of phallic.
Anno
Oh no.
Anno
Ohhhh noooooooo
Anno
Hm, I hope this guy's not just toying around with her.
Anno
These girls have nothing but sex on the mind now.
Anno
She needs to adjust her backpack. Having it drag that far down is gonna give her back pains.
月
oh no this is too real oh he's alone
Anno
TRAIN HASHIDE YUKE TRAIN TRAIN
Anno
Oh aw I missed the first train.
Yuu
She'll knock next time.
Anno
Hah hah hah he's really putting in a brave effort to make things look normal. Poor guy.
月
wow she's really not handling it well haha
this show is really cute but it's pretty real teenage years were hard
Anno
TRAIN TRAIN HASHIDE YUUKE TRAIN TRAIN DOKO MADE YO
Anno
>Likes reading train schedules >Masturbates while playing music about trains >Watches porn of girls getting molested on trains Yeah this guy is totally a train otaku.
Anno
>>712388 Yeah it's pretty unfiltered-ly human. Kind of both uncomfortable and relatable.
Yuu
hmm well this is unique
月
i wonder if it eases up a bit or not
i might opt out of group watch for this one i'm not sure yet
Yuu
haha I don't think it will ease up
joshi okay lets start!
Anno
I feel the sex imagery will tone down as the character relationships begin to take the forefront. But it'll probably continue to be a pretty raw human experience.
This'll probably be lighthearted and cute. A good palate cleanser.
月
joshi
Anno
I've got Train, Train stuck in my head now damnit.
月
if there's a shoujo that comes along that's not a high priority maybe we could save that
for if i'm able to bring a friend
Anno
I'll keep that in mind, but I don't think there's anything shoujo-poi this season. Araburu's probably the closest thing, hah hah.
There will be more Kono Oto Tomare and Chihayafuru in autumn though; those are both shoujo.
