Yuu
Today is thursday, not hump day.
Anno
Ah. Yeah. Whoops.
Yuu
well
ace infinite hatena muranase koisuru asteroid
if moon appears it changes to
ace jibaku plunderer show by rock somali
Anno
Honestly this week has kinda blindsided me so, eh.
>>815844 I see Moon online so I can probably send out a ping.
Yuu
yeah let's start ace while we wait since it's just ace
sounds good okayl lets start
Anno
Yeah we Whoops. We'll probably have Moon after Ace by the sounds of it.
Anno
Whoever decided the apostrophe key should be right next to the enter key is the BANE of my existence.
Anno
Kinda doesn't feel Sawamura's quite ready to be Eesu yet. Being the spearhead rather than the reliable back-up seems to weigh too heavy on him.
Yuu
Both aces have their own critical problems. I think Sawamura will win in the end though.
Anno
He's the main character, so yeah. But at the moment he struggles under that Eesu pressure.
Anno
In the meanwhile since both second-year pitchers are struggling, gives a good chance for the third-year pitcher to have a moment in the limelight.
Anno
Miyuki showing why he's still the BOSS
Yuu
They're gonna be in trouble when Miyuki graduates.
Anno
I've been wondering how the division of captain and lead catcher will go. I don't think any of the younger catchers are really captain material. And honestly only that tetchy white-haired guy is probably competent as a catcher in a similar vein to Miyuki.
But they still also don't really have a captain replacement.
Anno
There's been a lot of focus on the coach handsignals this game. When you put a spotlight on them like that it ends up looking kinda funny.
月
i'll be ready in a couple minutes
Anno
Sounds good. We got a couple minutes left in Ace.
Anno
I don't quite get why the game was called in the seventh inning. Sure, being like 10 - 2/3 whatever it was is a pretty intimidating lead to overcome. But there's still a lot of time until the bottom of the ninth.
Yuu
coach's moment
Anno
Yeah, he gets one of those "when a student surpasses the master" moments.
Anno
Oh Furuya has the Ace Number in the PV there. Either that's a flashback of some sort or they shuffle the numbers on their team.
Yuu
okay, just waiting on moon atm
月
okay, im here
Yuu
jibaku okay lets start
月
jibaku shoujo
Anno
Spooky boogie
Anno
Being haunted by disembodied arms is a very Japanese ghost story thing.
Anno
Pft
Yuu
cute shirt in that picture diary
月
it reminds me of the one in majora's mask it was especially creepy
Anno
Ah yeah. As soon as they mentioned a boy from the photography club I knew it was gonna be the guy from earlier.
Anno
>>815871 Yeah that's what came to mind for me too. Japan seems to have a thing for disembodied hands.
Anno
Oh he's still a bit around even now. Maybe there's a chance for closure.
Hah hah and here she goes swooning again.
Anno
Guess he's still himself at least.
月
this show is really cute
Anno
It uses the cute style to mask a lot of sinister stuff.
Yuu
Yeah I like the style for this. Cute and creepy is a good aesthetic.
Anno
Mitsuba is such a little shit. It's kind of endearing.
月
>>815878 >cute and creepy is a good aesthetic th-thanks i'll take that as a personal compliment
Anno
People really keep bullying Nene about her legs. Poor girl.
Anno
Nee, nee, Shiteru?
Anno
>But if there's even a little bit of fear or ugliness in your heart, Isn't that literally everyone ever though.
月
yeah.... no kidding
Anno
This is a really mean spirit. Most of the other seven in this school are malicious but not too interested in killing or similar things. Even the Stairs kinda just spirited people away.
Yuu
wow evil creepy robots
月
aaaaa dont squeeze
Anno
A rare occasion of Hanako Black coming to the rescue. Though yeah his way of doing things is certainly ... grim. His brother at least tries to keep the peace instead of destroy everything.
月
hmmmm
Yuu
plunderer oh sory let's start
月
okay
Anno
Reaaaady
Also episode NINE (9) of this.
Anno
The cliffhanger twist at the end of the last episode was really weird. I didn't see it being an ASSAULT HELICOPTER coming. I thought it was gonna be like just some kind of properly demonic monster.
月
oh yeah stuff got weird
Anno
Wonder why these people with modern warfare technology are here trying to raze fantasy world towns to the ground. This kind of action in real life would probably constitute war crimes.
Anno
Licht having to fight in the air for a prolonged stretch of time really is a good demonstration of how he can't actually fly and just jumps really high.
Anno
Wow she's got some good legs.
Yuu
he's like pure edge
Anno
I was wondering if there was a person in there. Guess there is.
Yuu
and not the good kind
Anno
>>815908 Just to make sure, what episode are you watching.
sorry... i had to go help my mom with something i missed the second half of that ;_; >>815915 lol >>815914 sorry i know that's frustrating for you. i wasnt trying to ignore you
it's just part of being a caretaker that i can get called away any time
Anno
Well don't worry. Between you and Rika watching epsiode ten because she can't pay attention to the thread AS USUAL I'm the only person that really watched the episode.
Yuu
There was lots of chuuni swords and stuff oh no was this the wrong ep
Anno
I pinged you TWICE to make suer -sure you were watching the right episode and you ignored it TWICE.
Anno
>>815913 Yeah I know you weren't, and I don't really hold it against you. I just get bristly when I get annoyed. That usually ends up with people caught in the crossfire.
Yuu
Oh sorry... I am experiencing hardship tonight i'll try to be better
show by rock
>>815919 Om Oh I'm worried about getting that but there's not much I can do I need to keep working
okay lets start!
月
speaking of hardship i have to quit my day job now due to coronavirus or night job i guess you could say
im gonna just have to work from home for a while so i don't endanger myself or others
>>815918 i still have transcription and ad contracts that i can do from home
Anno
I was under the impression your night job was a work-from-home position but I guess not? Guess that's still kind of worriesome though.
There seems to be a lot of calls for people to work from home where possible but I guess for a lot of jobs that's still not feasible.
月
yeah i have jobs i can do from home though and im very thankful ive spent the last decade of my life building that platform up
it's a nice safety net and gap-filler i think a lot of people are struggling with the closures of campuses and other stuff
Anno
March break starts for public schools next week here but the province has also called for all public schools to close an additional two weeks after it. So my mother effectively gets three weeks paid vacation in the middle of spring, since public schools aren't set up to teach distance education here.
Though regardless she teaches like kindergarteners/grade one/two so it's not like you could do distance education anyway.
Anno
Nan ja kore
Anno
Poor Himeko though. She's just trying to focus but everyone's intruding on her isolation.
月
howan can fix her
Anno
Yeah it's times like this she really ought to lean on her wife.
Yuu
i like pink drill more than blue drill but they are both too gaudy
Anno
These are some real good expressions this episode though. I really feel the emotions behind them.
Anno
Howan best
月
himeko is appropriately gaudy since she's super gay
Anno
Oh no she's getting abducted.
Anno
Ah this is a cute, old-timey train. I'd like to ride something like this some time.
Anno
Oh gosh Howan
月
i like himeko's big bow though
Anno
Hah hah Talk about a delayed joke. All those gossip lines as Himeko was leaving in the first episode finally rang true this episode.
月
her family is having himeko for dinner
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
>>815842 funny that's the second time today someone thought it was wednesday
Ah that's a really comfy bedroom. I've had a liking for bedrooms with sloped ceilings like that for a long time now.
Anno
This whole town is super comfy. I'd like to travel somewhere like this some day.
Anno
Himeko and Delmin look really silly in bathwear.
Anno
Oh Delmin in glasses. How cute.
月
i hope she doesn't title it "the things that come out of us"
Anno
Himeko seems sufficiently aware to avoid something like that.
Anno
Ah these two are hella gay How wonderful.
月
cat and wolf isn't allowed
Anno
I think Howan's a fox. Not certain, but >>815929 She's making the Japanese handsign for foxes here.
Not that a cat and a fox is much better hah hah
Yuu
this time it's a bit harder to tell what they are
Anno
Doesn't help that Delmin is totally a fantasy creature too. There aren't any mint-devil dragons or whatever she is in real life after all.
Yuu
I liked the simplier designs of the first season
okay somali OKAY oh caps lets start
Anno
OTOU-SAN OTOU-SAN >>815953 Well we saw the oni couple return. Maybe there'll be some witches that pop back up too. Though well unlikely before this one cour is up. But if there's ever another season, I could see it feasible.
月
somali i wish we got more of the cute witches
Anno
Well that's a little sad. I wonder if Somali's blood family were also on that wagon.
月
this show feels really good and makes me happy i have anime
Anno
One of the more pleasant surprises of it for me still is how Somali is just a sheer ball of adorable energy. I was expecting her to be a bit shier or dimunitive. Instead she's a rowdy-to-the-point-of-problematic kid. Like most kids her age end up being.
Anno
From the flashback of the witch, there seems to be a history betwen -between golems and humans. I wonder if they've got some hidden programming ordering them to care for humans in addition to main directives like looking after forests.
Yuu
how they met stories are always nice though i do wonder why he started wearing clothes he doesn't need them
月
oh i guess this is why he's starting to shed or something
Anno
The golem that was watching over the humans in the witch's flashback didn't have the exoskeleton at all, if I remember correctly. So more than clothes, they don't even seem to necessarily need the exoskeleton.
With his robotic sensibility I feel he probably came to the conclusion that clothes would help with their adventuring. Even with his exoskeleton, a golem is probably a weird enough look naked. So wearing clothes helps not get people looking too closely.
Anno
He is looking really worse for the wear though. Having the exoskeleton probably helps but it looks like the integral parts of his body are falling apart too.
Anno
>Somali is willful and foolhardy Honestly from how they act the little oni and Somali are probably really alike anyway. Not that I'd exactly take that as a comfort if I was Otou-san hah hah
月
cozy cottage
Anno
Not as cozy as the oni couple's own cottage but still pretty nice.
Anno
Itsumo arigato puresento
月
that's a dumb present somali
Anno
She's just a kid it can't be helped.
月
what use does a golem have for a picture of himself
Anno
Reference for repairs?
月
then they'd reconstruct him to look like her crayon drawing
Anno
There are worse fates. Not many, but they exist.
Anno
Hah hah hah The oni does look very kid-like too.
What a sweet old lady.
Anno
Oh yeah those are kind of charming. When they first started talking about knitting I just figured they'd be making scarves.
It's always kinda funny to me how simply people are fooled by the fake horns on Somali's hood. It takes people looking close like this old lady did to pick up on her humanity.
Yuu
Monsters seem very diverse and humans are just that rare. Some monsters seem indistinguishable from humans.
Anno
Clever of the little oni though. They totally realized the old lady was dangerously close to Somali and stepped into pull her away.
月
ahhh they werent fooled afterall
Anno
Yeah I had a hunch the intervention came too late. The old lady already seemed to catch on before the oni could speak up.
月
there was a long period where i wasn't able to feel anything from watching anime
im really happy to have those feelings back this last year-ish and have it in my life again
thanks for watching stuff with me
Anno
Ah I hope the oni couple are all right after this. They're in danger too now for sheltering Somali.
>>815980 Well thanks for being here too. With Squid losing interest in anime we probably would have had it rough just Rika and I. It's easier to be motivated to watch stuff when you've got people together to watch it with.
Yuu
I think next ep will be good.
>>815980 I feel like there's less stuff i really enjoy but watching anime is still fun
Anno
You should go be adventurous some time! Go on a big trip somewhere completely new! I've found there's no bigger death sentence for the capacity to enjoy things then surrendering yourself too much to routine and habit.
Yuu
i've had too much adventure lately what i seek is comfort I can't seem to find
月
i think i can commiserate with that i hope you find something good for you
Anno
Well if it's any comfort, know that you're amongst a lot of people here that are looking for something similar. I don't buy too much into "Misery loves company" but it rings a bit true some times.
Yuu
such is life, i think thanks for anime
Anno
Yup yup, thanks. Have a nice weekend, if we don't see you before it's over.
