Heyo

I don't think so.
Moon might be absent for a while.

My downloads are stalling so I'll be back after a quick restart.

Okay good now.

hatena
okay
lets start

Magikku

All these Artifacts they've been chasing this episode and the last have really chuuni names.
Violin of the Earth God, Ring of the Thunder (Lightning?) God, something else of some other God.
I know there's a trio of gods like that in Japanese folklore though, one that rules over earth, one over thunder, and then whatever that last one is.
So it's just a reference to that but it's still really chuuni.

This show has the problem where the protagonist is outshined by some of the side characters.

It's pretty normal for the male lead to be rather dull but Hatena isn't particularly remarkable either.
She's been getting better but it's still in progress.

The imouto is more interesting than Hatena.

Angry boy (girl)

I don't know if their dad's going along with how their mom keeps pushing back and pushing back reunion or if she's kinda abusing his trust too.
Either way it's kinda mean how they keep ditching their kids.

Her family is so shady

Hah, they've got all these fancy magic items.
And they just got beaten by some stage magic and brute strength.

Oh I guess this is where Makoto learns
Yup
Man this has been about as predictable as anything.

She even dropped the boyish tones when she got spooked there.
Seems she's back to normal though.

Kyaa, running away hand in hand with a boy
How romantic.

This OP is really weird, the way it starts

It's kind of a neat style.
In a more engaging series or a more enthralling character it would probably be a lot cooler.

Oh hah, they don't even know when they're gonna air the final episode.
I guess between the pandemic and that this series was already strained they've hit a snag.

magia!
okay
lets start

Become Meguca
I think this is the final episode of this.
The plot is still kind of only getting wound up though.
I can kinda see where they're gonna end it but there's really a lot of threads that'll be left unanswered.

Guess you just gotta play the mobage to find out!

HAET NAKAMA

She's talking kinda stilted.
Is she still a Witch?

Instead of having Katou Emiri lecture us on the nature of Mahou Shoujo and Soul Gems, we've got Kugimiya Rie doing it for us.

Oh another Kyubey that actually talks.
We've had the baby one all this time I'd forgotten the others talk hah hah

Oh there's QB

We've seen this phenomenon before.
But at least with Sayaka it landed safely in a truck and didn't break.

Oh this is Yachiyo in high school then.
She must be a few years older than Iroha and that generation too.

Hah hah hah
And here
here's the classic wham line.

This must suck for the blonde girl.
When her and the girl on the bridge met with their friend she must have known what's happening.

Still not entirely sure how this ties in with the movie.
Did you watch the movie yet?

Not yet.
This doesn't really tie in with the movie though.
The timeline of Magia Record apparently takes place in one of the earlier timelines Homura went through.
A point before she had to mercy-kill Madoka in that one scene that turned her from Moemure to proper Homura.

Honestly she's kind of got a good, if selfish, motivation.

Guess it wasn't the last episode.
Thought I saw an END in the title of the Erai Raws version.

Oh this week's endcard was done by the other common SHAFT character designer.
I can never remember their name.

They did the character designs for the new Higurashi adaptation that's coming out soon.

Interesting
Yeah I think there's another ep

okay

jibaku
okay
lets start

Spooky boogie
Now I KNOW this is the finale for this.

Her clothes are so cute.

Oh yeah looks like we're getting back to her unfortunate

Wow okay.

But yeah looks like we'll see more of her fish curse.

What must that look like to other people though.
No one else can see Hanako so does the hair just wind itself up?

She's really gotten scared of fish.

This feels like problematic news to break to Nene.

Oh no they're multiplying.

Hah hah hah
Poor Nene
Even the fish are insulting her legs.

Being a fish seems like a bad gig.

She's so consistently shallow.
Though well she's still young.
Time to grow.

Seeing the fish scales on her hand really makes me want to scratch at mine.
Like just imagine what that would feel like.

I can't really imagine it.

Hanako Black still a total psychopath

Well that was a sweet note to end the show on.

this was a pretty good show

okay
itai
hmm
one sec
no i'm good

okay
okay
lets start!

Okey dokes

Okay okay okay

Oh yeah RIP Maple

oh yeah someone finally used an anti-armor ability against her.

Hah hah hah just as expected.
She had a skill to endure at 1HP

I saw an illustration from one of the LN volumes that had Maple's stats on it.
Her defense stat was in the like 45,000s but her HP was only 200.
So yeah, anything that can ignore DEF is probably gonna one-shot her.

It's fun to see these crazy powers but I do think it would have been better if Maple stuck strictly to defensive stuff rather than offensive.
Though I guess a Counter skill is quintessential defense.

She really has a lot of overpowered stuff

The distorted Maple voice coming out of the kaijuu is really something else.

Maple acutally is a bit unfair.

Bit is honestly understating it.
I get what Payne is sayin though.
Can't really blame Maple for being totally unfair when she did everything fairly.
Pick your bones with the dumbass developers that don't balance their game!

I'd kinda like to see more of this fire lady though.
She seems pretty moe.

This is a very tone-dissonant scene.
The terror of seven Maple Kaijuu put to peppy anisong music.

Maple is a tyrant.

Wow she's become a bit of a game aidoru
And people are fantasizing about her being the last boss they beat hah hah

Oh, snap back to reality.

>5% bonus to our stats
That's a slight boost but it's probably a LOT of extra DEF for Maple.

Oh that's a pleasant surprise.
Looks like they've already greenlit season two.

It was a pretty good show, honestly.

okay
Somali

okay
lets start

Small-y

It was pretty light and fun.
Knows exactly how goofy itself is and plays on that.

Things were getting real bad last episode.

Oh yeah he was messed up.

When they bring him back from going Terminator though, he's gonna be in an awful state.
Missing an arm, more of his exoskeleton's been cracked off.
He's gonna have to do something about that exposed core too probably.

I really wonder if these golems have some kind of history with humans.
The one in the flashback was caring for humans too.

Kinda hard to see him coming back from this.

Well he seems ... okay.
All things considered.
Looks like the spines formed from his exoskeleton all broke off though.
He doesn't really have much of it left.

I'd like to see him get fixed.

They'd have to go look for someone that can fix golems then!

Otou-san's getting pretty ragged.

Yeah, he's really messed up.
He needs to get help or do a repair arc.

Golems seem to be irregular at best, even in this world of weirdness, though.
Where are they gonna find someone that knows how to fix golems, or the parts to repair with?

;_;
That's not something Otou-san can do easily anymore

Yeah, he's having lots of issues.



is this 12 or 13 eps?

This is some really amazing voicework from Somali's seiyuu

>>823362
I'm moderately confident it's twelve, but not certain.

I wonder if he seeks repair in the source material.

This is a decent stopping point but it leaves you wanting more.

Yeah, it's the shortcomings of these single-seasons of really good adaptations.

Aaaahhhh she gets a new coat.
That's super cute.

Well that was lovely.

Yeah, that was good. I hope moon finishes it.

Yeah.
If Kirara and ToN ever run out of things for their weekend watching sessions I'll point it out to them.
I don't think Kirara was watching it at all this season.

im sad about madoka
i wanted to watch it with moe
oh well

name 3 anime from the last 3 years i should watch
because i'm very bored

That's a really wide time period to pick from!

u can do it
i believe in u

if all else fails i'll probably watch chihayafuru

Hm
Megalo Box for one
Granbelm
Banana Fish

Bonus Round
Asobi Asobase
Dororo
Fruits Basket

what is Granbelm?

Girls fight in magic mechs to become the super witch.
There's some Madoka vibes in there but it really does stand on its own.
It's got some real good sound design.

the screenshot makes me think "the new madoka"

what about banana fish?

does megalo box break convention pretty heavily after the first half of S1? i felt it was something i'd seen enough of before when i started it

Banana Fish is an old manga that got re-imagined in modern day about a Japanese guy visiting America who gets caught up in a tangled story of mobs and drugs.
It's pretty stylish and has a high level of quality.

I don't know if I'd say Megalo Box shakes things up too much.
If it's not something enjoyed from the start it's probably not gonna be too satisfying by the end.
I really enjoyed it though.

That's kinda why I threw in the bonus round though.

i'll give banana fish and granbelm 3 eps and see
and chihayafuru too
