Oh hey again. I was wondering if you'd fallen down and couldn't get up.
Anno
BokuBen Choyoyu Episode 5-8 Chuubyou Gekihatsu Boy Episode 3-8 GranBlue Fantasy Kabukicho Sherlock Kono Oto Tomare! Episode 15-21 Mairimashita! Iruma-kun Episode 2-8 PSYCHO-PASS Val x Love Episode 7-8 Watashi, Nouryoku etc.
ijay lets start with val love 7 while we wait to see if moon shows
orange okay lets start!
Anno
I mean would could have started with GranBlue either way.
But okey dokes, I'm ready for Bal Rabu
Anno
All these girls are a bit of a handful.
Anno
I'd say I guess it's a light goofy episode to give a breather from the serious tone of the action arc earlier but honestly this show is pretty much constantly goofy and even in a serious fight the stakes have never really felt .. there.
I have the feeling all this little one's inventions probably end up that way.
Anno
All this is just making me feel bad for the older sisters. The younger ones seem to have just always made trouble for them. As younger siblings are want to do, I guess.
I think the ghost ship Primal was the first one I had a bit of trouble with when I was doing the story mode. Then an island or two later there was the boss fight with the rose lady and that one was such a pain to beat without putting in a buncha grinding in the game's lousy raid and guild battle systems and I just got bored of it. I guess if we ever get a third season of this we'll get to the point I dropped out.
Yeah that's true. As long as Gran doesn't just drop dead then Lyria's still alive.
Anno
Oh yeah, when I was in Japan back around 2016/2017 New Years they had a bunch of GranBlue commercials playing on the television channels we'd put on some times. One of them featured that big gigantic world of blue flowers. I'd forgotten about those until now.
I really can't remember the story of this arc at all hah hah. Ferry's stuck on the island as a ghost and they gotta fight the ghost ship to set her free. This whole bit with the girls stuck alone in this series of worlds and doors feels like it might be anime-original stuff.
hmm I don't find it super interesting but you like it right?
hmm want to do kono oto instead?
okay kono oto 15 lets start!
Anno
Before we start I do kind of want to ask. Is this a show you particularly want to watch? I find you kind of keep quiet while watching it. I do but so does Moon. So I dunno, there might be something more agreeable to the circumstances.
Though at the same time I'd wager if Moon was around to say something we'd probably be fine to go ahead anyway.
Yeah, okay. Just one though. Maybe for slot four we could do Choyoyu or the chuuni boys show.
We're kind of at the point where we've crunched through the backlog of the more enjoyable stuff hah hah
Ready.
Anno
He's a really tsuntsun sensei. Tries so hard to be mean and jaded but even he's getting caught up in their SEISHUN spirit.
All eating from the same big curry pot is probably a real nice experience. I'd like to cook for friends some time.
Anno
I feel a little bad for the three stooges that follow Kudo around. There's these cute relationships forming with these two girls and the two MCs and they're kind of stuck being, well, the three stooges.
Yeah this was her whole thing from the first season. That girl was once her best friend but threw her under the bus so she could get with that boy. And that's what made her all kind of bitchy and manipulative when she first got introduced.
That was some good savagery from Kurata though hah hah
Anno
Hozuki's crush is pretty cute though hah hah. She's trying to hide how cute Kudo can be from the rest of the girls.
Yeah, a bit kids-y. Not too overwhelmingly though. Not yet at least.
Looks like it runs in a pretty standard-fare shounen magazine, yeah. Though it's also the magazine that Beastars and Yowamushi Pedal runs in. They've had a couple other notables, in particular a few Tezuka and Nagai Go manga but most of their series seem to not really be ones that would be known outside of Japan.
Anno
I wonder if a familiar summoning would even work for him.
Anno
Is he gonna summon a human. Oh no just the sensei.
Anno
Well I guess it's his just deserts for being so petty.
I'd say I'm whatever about it. It's watchable, but that's a pretty low bar to clear. Though I do like how they're seeding a bunch of characters that'll be relevant later on here.
Even the zero-stakes Choyoyu is probably more engaging than this show though.
I guess these are the people her family is in debt to.
Anno
These three girls have no interest in keeping their heads low and not causing trouble. Picking fights over political marriages is a good way to get into deep trouble!
I bet the groom will end up being a decent huy. guy
Anno
I have a feeling too this dad of Mavis is going to end up helping break off the marriage too. He's grouchy over Mavis being a Hunter but I bet he'll come around.
>>775634 Well it's one of Mavis' older brothers so yeah, probably a decent guy. Might be a bit overbearing considering the letters they send her though.
Anno
... Oh no.
I can't imagine these masks will help with much.
Anno
'Ho shit. I guess Pauline gets her dark nature from her mom.
I think Protagonist-chan is lucky she's strong. I wouldn't want to be average in this world.
Anno
Well even if she's average she's made some good friends. Though in fairness they're only this strong because of her strength hah hah. But I think even without their fast growth the friendship they've forged would be good for them getting strong eventually anyway.
The mediocre folk of this world do seem to suffer a good bit from the Melian Dialogue though, yeah.
Anno
I guess Mavis' dad is a bit of a FIGHT nerd.
Anno
HAYAI
Anno
Neat to see someone that can kind of put up with Mile's overwhelming POWER by just being extremely skilled. Though if only for a while. The author for this series is smart enough to distinguish that raw POWER and actually being skilled are two entirely different skillsets.
Anno
I guess Mavis' whole family is quite overbearing on her.
Interesting that protagonist-chan actually seemed to have a bit of trouble
Anno
Well it's like what I said above. She's got the stats to be strong but doesn't have the practice for finesse or skill. So this guy who's been a dedicated fighter his whole life does have a bit of an edge in that department.
Kind of like a raw muscle untrained street fighter and a seasoned, practiced follower of a school of martial arts.
Though of course in the end her sheer POWER was still more than enough.
