I I'm prepared for once this week.
Yuu
black clover hatena jibaku shounen show by rock somali
Anno
Moon might be needing some space tonight, not too sure. Decent chance it might just be the two of us tonight.
月
yeah. i need some space tonight. i might show up towards the end for show by rock and somali, but maybe not.
Yuu
Ah, sorry!
okay let's black clover
we'll probably but chihaya in somewhere and change things up since no moon
okay lets start!
Anno
Yeah that could be an easy second show. Not that I think Moon is too worried about Hatena but I'm fond of Hanako and would like to watch it.
Anno
Having looked into a couple chapters of the manga that have been posted in threads, this anime's actually really, really close to the weekly chapters. There's maybe like one more arc before it's in the manga's current arc.
Yuu
Lots of elf arc cleanup to do.
Anno
But between the one remaining arc and the manga's current I think there's also a brief time-skip. Not like Naruto timeskip where they're gone for three years but still probably enough time to maybe put in some anime-only filler.
Anno
Sawashiro Miyuki has such great vocal range hah hah She does both sultry and shrieking so well.
Yuu
Too bad this is shonen and it's never going to progress.
Anno
Well they're both relatively side characters. If it wasn't for Yami's sheer density and lack of emotional tact I could see it happening.
Anno
Man she just fucking bolted.
Anno
This isn't really recap but it is kind of retreading a scene we already saw.
Yuu
yeah I guess stuff like this is easy to write.
Anno
Did she gather her entire squad to just tell them she's crushing on Yami.
Anno
Gosh how embarrassing.
Yuu
wow she admitted it
Anno
I feel this is gonna be "Duh we already knew that".
Oh they're just all a bunch of pure-hearted maidens. I guess that's fine too.
Anno
Ah oh no they're turning into KOI MONSTERS How horrifying.
Anno
I guess ki is pretty useless for telling if someone is crushing on you or hates your guts.
Yuu
Oh yeah I guess ki is good for that.
Anno
Noelle and Charlotte do have some overlap. Though Charlotte is a sputtering tsundere where as Noelle's more a standard tsun.
Anno
They're out at this nice, fancy restaurant and Yami's still just in his usual digs. Really doesn't fit in. Guess that's to his nonchalant credit though.
Anno
Though this is a good chance to show off Yami's redeeming qualities. Despite his kinda asshole nature he's a caring guy.
Yuu
I feel like they give Yami a lot of good moments. They giv ehim looots of good attention the show is as much about him as the main characters lately.
Anno
I guess the Shounen Jump readership being as much adult stay-at-home-women is as consistent from One Piece as it is to Black Clover. I can see a character like Yami being real popular with that group.
Yuu
okay sorry for delay
chihaya okay lets start!
Anno
KA RU TA
Anno
That's a very not-normal way to be skinship-y between guys.
Oh I'd totally not noticed the OP hadn't played yet. This show normally doesn't do cold opens.
Anno
This is a pretty silly tournament. Hopefully it cheers Taichi up.
Anno
Even in a lighthearted tournament Chihaya is focused on how she can use the unusual environment to better her skills.
Yuu
those shirts...
Anno
They are awfully gaudy yeah, hah hah. I don't really like polka-dot to begin with but having it be a pink base with white polka-dots is really off. Normally you'd imagine it being the other way around.
Anno
Hah hah Taichi was flustered about potentially kissing Chihaya but she was focused on being competitive.
Anno
Graduation is probably coming up soon for them all. The sakura blossoms are in the air. Time is running out for their high school lives!
Anno
That's kind of a very relatable thing for him to carry as a regret all this time. At least for me.
Yuu
I think everyone does.
Anno
RIP Taichi
Ah she almost made it. Now this is really unpleasant. She even tried to dodge not counting Taichi there by not putting a number to the third-years in their club.
Anno
Mayonegg
Anno
This is kind of a very familiar experience for me. I scuttled a high school friendship for like a year because I did something similar hah hah
Yuu
Resentment is bad! hmm let's do hatena now and save jibaku
okay lets start
Anno
>>819608 Just please make sure you load up episode nine!
Anno
Oh yeah their old bulter was secretly a combat butler all this time
Anno
Scissors don't make for a very effective weapon.
Yuu
Hatenais just bad at everything.
Anno
Well she's managing so far.
Anno
Their dad is kind of a doof. He was being real doormat-y last episode but even then he's always kinda edging away from problematic stuff.
Anno
Two HUNDRED years of butlering That must suck.
Yuu
This blonde lady is so evil.
Anno
Yeah she seems to get regular kicks out of playing the evil stepmother to Hatena and the rest of the kids. But she's not even a stepmother she's just a bitchy aunt.
Anno
Having them try and fix the broach rather than their mom sounds dangerous. Though they have been kind of kicked around a lot the past couple episodes. It's due time they earned themselves a win.
Anno
Oh no their mom is a child predator.
Anno
This girl pretending to be a boy is kind of a whiner so it's worth it seeing her get 1-UP'd by the MC.
Yuu
hmm, what next?
Anno
I think it's okay to carry on as planned. If Moon shows up, it'll be a pleasant extra.
>>819628 Okay, then we can close on either Show By Rock or Somali. Which of the three are you least interested in watching tonight?
Yuu
so jibaku? or show by rock?
okay then jibaku! okay let's start
Anno
It can be hard to find some shows in my folder some times. I really need to clean it out proper.
I think I've got an artist friend that's doing an entry for a Hanako-kun fanbook.
Anno
Hanako Black really isn't anything like his brother.
Anno
Cute fox
Anno
Kitsune udon doesn't even require fox meat!
Anno
I feel kinda bad for the ghost boy though. He's really been constantly beat around by Hanako Black.
月
im grabbing somali now
Anno
If you can get it fast enough we're only eight and a half into Hanako-kun right now. If you're interested that is.
Anno
I saw some complaints on /a/ about this adaptation because it doesn't do a lot of animation. A lot of it is still-frame pans or limited animation scenes.
It just feels kinda dumb to me since this really isn't a series that needs a whole lot of fluid animation or anything. And the visuals are consistent. It feels like more than sufficient animation for the material.
Yuu
hi moon welcome
Anno
Oh he's got more of his usual personality again. Though he's still getting pushed around by Hanako Black.
Anno
Between Kou and Mitsuha and Mitsuha and Hanako Black and Hanako and Hanako Black there's a lot of gay tease in this show.
Yuu
Lots of fighting this episode...
Yuu
Oh big danger Oh she got saved in a dashing way
Anno
Nene's got a good knack for befriending evil spirits. This version of Mitsuha seems to have no memories before her and Hanako Black so the fact that she treated him nicely right off the bat probably meant a lot to him.
Anno
Wow this dweeb really did make it back to reality. I guess he's got an idiot's capacity to survive.
Yuu
somali okay lets start
Anno
Small-y
月
ready
Anno
What a mean lady. All this cunning for just one girl.
Anno
Somali has like two volume states. Kind of quiet and ENERGETIC LOUD
Yuu
I wonder what kinda resolution we'll get for this
Anno
Hah hah He's such a doofy dad.
Anno
I'm worried at least for these oni we'll get a melancholic ending. From the feel of it they'll have to make a dangerous escape from this town. At the least I don't think Somali and Otou-san are gonna find other humans before this season wraps.
Anno
Oh I figured when the old lady said she'd show them shortcut path the human hunters would jump them there. Instead they're just storming the house.
Anno
What a bunch of brutes.
Anno
Ah I guess there'll be another ambush waiting in these mines.
Anno
You can still see the lost tooth in Somali's mouth. Makes her even more kid-poi.
Anno
Third time's the charm, I guess. This mean old lady's using guile rather than brute force though.
Yuu
I wonder if he'll be able to fix himself.
Anno
Yeah this is the first time Somali's heard how awful humans were in the past. And how equally awful the monster retribution was on them. Poor girl.
Anno
Ah oh noooo He's hit his limit
Poor Somali
Yuu
Not exactly a comfy note we're ending on.
Oh we're going to see some crazy golem stuff
Anno
Yeah this show hasn't exactly been comfy material on its mid-arc episodes. I was worried it would be a lot this episode. That was even more than I was expecting though.
月
thanks for somali i'll see you guys i think
Anno
Yeah, thanks for coming in. Be well, Moon.
Yuu
Well that was good Can't wait for next week
Anno
Yeah it was an intense episode but the content is still really, really good. It's a nice show even when things are tough.
