Anno
i get those goosebumps every time
月
i think im gonna sit out tonight sorry
Anno
Sorry to hear that, Moon. Hope things are better tomorrow.
Yuu
Good luckl moon
darwin pet plunderer chihaya rikei
Yuu
darwin
>>804442 OH YEAH caps i'll sub that in if he appears
okay lets start
Anno
Desu game
We might have a Bang around who's interested in watching Magia Record. Could maybe put that in instead of Plunderer or Pet.
Anno
hello yes i am bang i appear
Anno
>>804443 We can probably do Magia Record next if you can be around in like twenty-five minutes.
Anno
i'm rewatching ep4 right now that's good timing
Anno
I feel like it's been more than a week since we last watched this show. Did it just not air last week? Or has the week just dragged on so long for me it feels like two.
Anno
Oh yeah no looking at the timestamps in my downloads there wasn't an episode of this last week. Wonder why.
Anno
be cause i wasn't here a couple weeks ago i'll make a comment about magia record 03
i thought it was funny that mami showed up at the end of episode 3 because of madoka magica and stuff
Anno
>>804448 Judging this relationship chart for the mobage all the original characters have shown up in it.
Anno
uh oh this looks like it's a lot for me to read
Anno
oh i was just saying i thought it was funny that they chose specifically the ending of episode 3 nice little detail
Anno
Ah yeah, that's true. Probably intentional.
Yuu
why is he wearing a skintight swimsuit inside like that
Anno
This florist guy with the plant powers has just been in this wet suit this whole time. It's really weird.
Anno
I guess there's a secret win condition to this particular game. Everyone's too busy killing over the gem rings to pick up on it.
Anno
Oh this ... boy? Looks kind of like that other girl in the OP that seems to join the MC's team.
Yuu
So it's better to be nice and work together.
Anno
TRACE, ON
Anno
>Shooting a sniper rifle while standing up atop a tall building
Anno
Even with weird plot convenience reasons it would probably be impossible for the organizers of D-Game to entirely clear out Shibuya like this. There's just way too many people that would want to be there.
Anno
Also I guess I was right that this was the girl from the OP. Though she seems to have some sort of split personality or other knack that lets her tell contradictory truths.
Yuu
It's autism!
okay, is bang ready for magia?
Anno
No I'm pretty sure it's split personalities.
Anno
i need approx. 8 minutes if you want to watch another, i don't mind waiting
Anno
wait i lied i'm ready whenever
Anno
Wow dude it's not very nice to lie.
Anno
it's not very nice to bite my ears when you wake me up but that doesn't stop you
Yuu
magia
okay lets start
Anno
>>804469 I don't bite anyone's ears dude that's grody as fuck.
i guess this is what i get for being a paying customer
Anno
Huh, really? If Crunchyroll doesn't have the episode then where did HorribleSubs get it from.
Anno
Oh looks like it releases on Funimation's streaming service and then on Crunchyroll a week later. Exclusivity, 'ho
Anno
well now i'm sad oh well
Anno
i have failed you /moe/ go on without me
Anno
Sorry it didn't work out. If you're willing to torrent for this show though we'll be around next week, yeah.
Anno
i'll get caught up and watch next week i'll probably just unsub from CR and sub to funi lol it's a dollar cheaper and there's some backlogged stuff on there i need to watch
Anno
Yeah that works too eh.
Anno
god bless the gigantic corporations that control almost every aspect of my life the human condition is beautiful
Anno
Haven't these girls ever read Alice in Wonderland. Since when has drinking random things given to you by weird circumstances ever been a good idea.
Anno
Oh I am a fan of girls wielding large hammers.
Anno
HAET WICTH
Anno
Cameo number two. I wonder if we'll see Sayaka before the season's over.
Yuu
Good to see some old characters.
Anno
Kyouko's still pretty Kyouko-poi
Anno
I guess that lucky water was really lucky water. I wonder what the price is.
Anno
Well that's a pretty good motivation for HAET WICHT
Anno
Honestly with all the urban myth stuff that goes on in this show it kinda feels like it's got more in common with Hanako-kun in this season than the original Madoka hah hah
Anno
She's kind of a bratty cute. A bit like that one from earlier in the season that could disguise herself. Though less totally egotistical.
Yuu
I'm still kinda wqaiting to see how they fit this in with the movie
Anno
I don't know anything about the larger plot of the mobage. I think it does have a pretty sizeable story by now but no one talks about it where I've been checking in at so there hasn't been a chance to learn anything.
Yuu
Yeah, I imagine what
Anno
These cloaked girls are all kinda Caster-y.
Anno
Wow she's got a bit of a crazy look there.
Yuu
>>804507 I imagine what the deal is is explained by the mobage
Anno
Well I'm working under the assumption this adaptation is following the canon main story of the mobage, so maybe at this time there's still a lot of mysteries left unanswered in the game.
Yuu
The movie should be canon still, it was well before the mobage.
Anno
Yeah but they might be drawing out the reveal of how everything is connected. Judging from this splash screen at the end of the episodes and from that crazy relationship chart I posted above, a Madoka and Moemura seem to exist within the mobage story too. So things are a kind of normal in it.
Yuu
Yeah, I haven't played the mobage so I don't know
okay plunderer 3
thanks for watching bang
okay sounds good! let's start
月
im gonna step in for plunderer i've been kind of wanting to see it
just plunderer though then i gotta get to work
Anno
Sounds good. I've been kinda wondering about it too. Wasn't terribly impressed with the intro arc but it did leave enough hanging that I wanted to at least see if it picks up.
月
yeah it wasn't amazing by any means but im curious still
oh im on the dub thank goodness it's dual audio the voices are pretty bad
Anno
Also the main character is pretty cute so worth.
月
im gonna have the audio dub AND the translated subs and see what they change
月
it's a pretty simple show they're really up front and shameless about what it's about
Anno
Something about the character designs rings a bell in the back of my head too. As in I'm pretty sure another show I've watched had character designs by the same lead designer.
月
it's got some cinderella 9-ish animations sometimes
Anno
What a nice, helpful lass.
Yuu
Not sure what to make of this one yet. Seems a bit generic so far.
月
it seems extremely generic that adds to my curiosity though i just wanna see how it goes, until i get a gist of it at least
月
so they get count for helping people? that's still a little elusive
Anno
Counts differ from person to person. Like the MC's goes up every like thousand or ten thousand ... metres? Steps? I don't remember the unit of increment. The oppai food cart lady who was helping her out has her Count go up when someone says her cooking is delicious.
月
>who would run around wearing a weird mask? that's impossible
mmmm.........
Anno
She seems both gullible and a bit sharp.
What's this guy's problem.
月
so their count measure is just a unique natural attribute? do they choose it?
that's kinda weird, it's like quirks almost, but rather than a given talent it dictates the path you'll go down in life
月
oh no dont do it
Anno
The way the Counts have been presented I'm pretty sure they're determined independent of the person. Hm that's not quite right. I guess I've not seen any reason to think the person has any decision in the Count they're given.
月
what's this dude doing why's he making it worse
so the last episode, the Ace's count went up as he was traveling away because of the distance traveled? i thought it went up because he abandoned that girl or lied to her about having lunch together i thought it was counting the people he's betrayed or something
>>804545 oh okay. i thought he was making that up to this girl now to get sympathy
Anno
Oh by MC I meant the girl. You're right that this guy's Count is, well he says it's being rejected by girls, but it seems to decrement when he rejects girls too.
Anno
I thought this guy had some more villainous motivation going on here. Though I guess being accessory to sexual harrassment is villainous enough.
Oh well seems he was being a bit like that.
Yuu
wow whgat a thing to say
月
if his count is getting rejected by girls, what does a negative count even imply
Anno
The negatives for him seem to be the rejections. I would assume a successful confession would increment his count.
Anno
Ace seems to change height quite conveniently.
Anno
This poor girl. \
月
the situational comedy falls a little bit too flat i think it's about as predictable and generic as it gets doesn't have much personal flair to it
Yuu
wow hidden power level
Anno
>>804554 Out of curiousity which episode have you been watching for this show?
Yuu
oh shoot I even said 3 but I watched 4
oh no
月
oh no indeed
well next time you can watch 3 while me and tilde watch 4
im back to work now see you guys
Yuu
it's not my fault sometimes my computer is dumb about my page down pey key I started 3 but hit page down scrolligh the thread
Or just tune out since you didn't miss much this episode. I guess it probably introduces that brown-haired officer girl but that probably also wasn't too necessary,.
Yup yup
Anno
I'm kinda more interested in the Queen match here than the Meijin. Suo doesn't feel like there's much of a chance of beating him.
Anno
Oh Arata is helping all the clueless viewers on the stream get what's going on.
Yuu
I wonder what the lives of the poem readers is like they need an anime about that
Anno
They're probably all like university professors or people like that.
Anno
Having flavour commentators discussing the game like this really makes it feel like a professional sport.
Yuu
>>804563 It seems like you need to be someone with a naturally beautiful voice for it.
Anno
I think there's also a LOT of studying Japanese poetry involved too though. Like having a naturally aesthetically-pleasing sound to your voice is important, but there's a lot of syllablistic emphasis and tonal quirks to this kind of classical Japanese poetry. The kind of thing you can practice to a fine point for probably your whole life.
Anno
Zama mirou!
Anno
Suo really does feel like he's on another level compared to other Karuta players.
Anno
Both the Meijin and the Queen now seem real angry that Chihaya prioritizes other things in her life than just Karuta.
Yuu
Queen is kinda always angry
rikei 4 okay lets start
Anno
SCIENCE
Anno
Wan Peace
Anno
Couldn't they at least come up with some nice casual clothes to wear out on a deito like this.
Anno
See she's got good priorities in mind.
Yuu
they both have super sharp eyes
Anno
I feel real bad for all their friends hah hah
Anno
Dokidokidokidokidokidoki
Anno
Hah hah hah They're acting really ridiculous but they're also really enjoying themselves.
It's good to make sure you're enjoying yourself on an outing like this.
Yuu
theyre both ridiculous people in general
Anno
Wow the tiny one was taller than her match when they were kids.
Anno
The little ponytail wagging about is as cute as it always is.
Anno
Oh I guess that's where this B-plot was going this episode.
Yuu
Wow, he's a dangerous person.
Anno
Dangerous or not he made a mistake!
Anno
Should he really be acting tough like this. Though well maybe it's just him being his usual poor-social-skills self and just happens to be intimidating. But I can't imagine he's all too useful if it comes down to a physical confrontation.
Good thing he's fucking CRAZY then.
Anno
Honestly yeah a theme park is probably a lot of fun for science nerds. There's a lot of physics that goes into making a good theme park.
Yuu
wow theyre nerds
Anno
Oh here's some very sensible science nerds that aren't about to get spooked by a haunted house.
Anno
This is why you don't draw date advice from eroge dating sims.
Anno
She is really cute in these super-sweet moments.
Yuu
They have a pretty good dynamic.
Anno
I think when you're that deep in the science sauce you really need someone else that crazy about it too. Otherwise there's probably gonna be an inevitable unbalance. Probably.
Anno
Well one sheep two sheerp Oh wow okay nevermind time to bail on this.
