Heyo Happy Hump Day As far as the week is still a thing anymore I guess.
Anno

Honzuki no Gekokujou Episode 15-16 Houkago Teibou Nisshi Episode 1-2 Jashin-chan Dropkick' Episode 4-11 Nami yo Kiitekure Episode 1-2 Plunderer Episode 12-14 Tamayomi To aru Kagaku no Railgun Episode 10-11 Tower of God Yesterday wo Utatte Episode 1-2
Yuu
ahiru tower yesterday houkago arte
Anno
Houkago is cute girls doing fishing things I think it's Doga Kobo's cute show of the season. Though I think they're also animating either Nami yo Kiitekure or Yesterday.
Yuu
oh in that case let's switch houkago and arte
ahiru! okay lets start
Anno
Baske!
Anno
Pshuuingu
Yuu
They're getting the trick passes going
Anno
I thought with the stuff that happened last episode they were get a turnaround. But they're still having a hard time.
月
i'll step in for a couple tonight what of tonight's stuff is any good?
Anno
Tower through to Arte should be good. Houkago might be comfy fishing.
月
tower of dog episode 3? i'll start with that and see how it goes
Anno
Yeah it's three episodes in. Arte is on episode wo. Everything else should be one.
Anno
There are so many RURUS to basketball gosh.
月
okay im getting those i'll be back for the next thing in a little bit
Yuu
Yeah, a couple of new things.
月
okay, im back ahiru is done right?
Yuu
yup tower! okay lets start
Anno
Towa!
This is a battle series, kinda like HxH, with weird game fights and neat powers.
>>830928 It's an adaptation of a Korean webtoon, so it's not quite an original.
Rak is pretty great. He's quite the endearing brute.
月
there's some interesting characters
Anno
The fuck is this guy.
Yuu
reminds me of eva
Anno
Who needs to think things through anyway!
月
dubious
Yuu
Blue hair reminds me of that emo guy from tokyo ghoul the edgy one on the investigator side
Anno
He's really not that bad. There's a bit of edge to him but Baam's healing aura helps him a lot.
This door game is kinda fun since all the dumbass team members are the ones that contribute to it.
Anno
Re ro ro
Anno
A bit of a king of the hill game going on here.
月
no consequences to failing i guess
Anno
I really like the lizard girl. She's both cute and fun. Oh yeah and hardy.
月
he's the one not taking it seriously just walking up like that
月
haha how are they gonna defend her
Anno
Well the goofy guy in the tracksuit aside, the guy with the swords is equally as strong as her. Him and lizard-chan clashed in a previous game and more or less drew a tie.
月
that was pretty fun
Anno
Yeah, Tower of God's got some good moments to it. There's a lot of material too, the webtoon's been running like way more than a decade by now. I'm really hoping we see more of it getting adaptated after this one cour it's been greenlit for so far.
Yuu
yesterday okay lets start
Anno
I don't really know much about this. I think it's an old manga that's finally getting an adaptation maybe?
月
ready
Anno
What a nice guy, going around feeding the crows.
月
she's pretty cute
Anno
Yeah. I like her top. And nice hair.
Anno
I was thinking having a reunion less than a year after graduating is a bit of an early time to be doing one.
Yuu
That's less a renuion and more like just seeing your friends
月
what's wrong with being eccentric
Anno
Does tend to make you stick out. For better and for worse.
Anno
Ah gosh these are some nice backdrops.
Anno
Wow, casette tapes. I mean I said I thought this was an older manga but I didn't know it was that old.
Anno
Impressive that she's managed to train a crow like that though. Crows are pretty smart but they're also fairly uninterested in depending on humans.
月
so she is in high school
Anno
Sounds like she could be a past student of hers so maybe not. >>830972 Yeah that's true.
月
she just started teaching three months ago didnt she
Anno
Guess she's of the right age but doesn't go to school anymore.
Yuu
I like shows when they're more adult.
Anno
Yeah. There's really an oversaturation of high-school set shows that when it breaks from that mold it's a pleasant surprise.
月
they're nice, yeah
Anno
She's a good bit mischevious. If it wasn't clearly just some lighthearted teasing she'd probably be being kind of bitchy with him.
Anno
Ah well I totally get this guy's vibe. It's hard to want romance when you're such a damedame human being.
Anno
Though I guess he's getting over it in the first episode. Lucky guy.
月
oh he's pretty bold
Yuu
That's where boldness gets you.
Anno
Thrown in the trash?
月
everyone gets thrown in the trash bold or not
Anno
She's quite the cutie.
月
this looks like it'll be pretty good i could use a show like this lately, yeah
Anno
Seems like a nice drama.
月
has some of those honey and clover vibes maybe a little more disillusioned
Anno
Yeah I was kinda thinking something like that too. Having to find yourself as a young adult is pretty tough. Easy to become disillusioned with the whole affair.
Yuu
It is a bit like that. arte
okay let's start
月
what episode on arte? i didnt get it yet
Anno
Episode two.
Gist of it is a young girl living in Renaissance Italy bucks social norms and becomes an apprentice artist to Leo-totally-not-nardo da Vinci.
月
okay ready
Anno
More than anything she really sticks out with the nice dress she's got. It's a lot more elaborate than other stuff most people are wearing. This guy excepted I guess.
月
it's a little more fantastical than like honzuki i guess it is the renaissance, so things would be a bit nicer in general
Anno
She's a bit headstrong but kind of admirable.
月
i do kind of wish i lived in a time of trade guilds
Anno
Wow he's got a lot of sisters. What a poor guy.
>>831004 It is a structure a lot of fields still could benefit from. There isn't really a need for like learning practical art in a university frame. Trades like maintenance work could too.
月
oh, i get this guy i grew up around all women too
月
this guy is pretty forceful about wanting to help
Anno
Honestly he'd probably risk his own placement in the workshop if he did something like that to help her into it. I know it feels nice to help but some times people need to know when self-preservation is important.
月
you're gonna get a hernia girl
Anno
She's still young. Probably has body endurance to spare. The tied up dress is kind of a goofy look though. Like I don't care about the modesty or whatever about it but man it just looks plain silly.
Anno
I was kinda thinking that yeah. Lifting a lot of heavy stuff can really get your grip all shakey.
月
this guy's tryin real hard
Anno
He's STILL trying to be all "I'm gonna help you even if you don't want it"
Anno
Hah hah hah this dweeb I think at least some of those things he could help out with. At least like with his mother he could help her move stuff around.
月
what's the last thing what's it about i gotta decide
Anno
Cute girls doing fishing things, I think. I think it literally translates to "Afterschool Fishing <something>".
Yuu
houkago okay lets start!
Anno
Get in the van, losers We're going fishing
月
ok
Anno
Ah wharf roaches Gross.
月
i miss the ocean so much
Anno
I haven't really spent a lot of time around it.
Anno
Oh she's an untangling nerd
月
id love a fishing trip in japan
Anno
Fishing is something I kinda think I'd like and not like. The notion of relaxing while keeping an eye on the rod or line sounds nice but I don't think I'd like the prep work like baiting or handling the caught fish.
>>831036 Not since I was a little kid. Used to do it at my grandpa's lake that was good for fishing in but that weaned out after a while.
月
have you never been fishing?
Yuu
fishing is pretty comfy
Anno
Until you've got a live fish wriggling in your hands.
Anno
Wow.
月
>>831035 the prep work and handling the fish is the fun part the waiting is the boring part!
Anno
I don't think it would be very fun for me. I've got an extreme apprehension to textures that are overly slimy or wriggly. And I don't have any experience with butchering freshly killed creatures, combined with finding activities like that generally unpleasant. I think just overall it's not something I'm suited to.
月
aw i want a handicraft club fishing club sounds fun too
月
oh ive done felt crafts like that they get so fluffy from the poking
Anno
This girl has a consistent zetsubou face like 75% of the time.
月
i did go sea fishing on a boat in the gulf once and got really seasick though
i like fishing but im not so good with boats
Anno
It's been a while since I've really been on a boat but I've never had a problem with them in the past. Though never really on the ocean, just on lakes. Some pretty large lakes at times though.
Yuu
I got seasick at first but got used to it pretty quick.
Anno
These two sisters don't really look anything alike.
Anno
Oh lets see how this screencap turned out. Aw it didn't get any of the fade-out of the close-up.
月
CHUM
Anno
Yeah I can't do anything like that. I can't even stick my hands into ground meat to do mixing up for stuff like hamburgers. Like I can't even force my hands into it.
月
you can't catch a fish if you can't put a worm on the hook
Anno
Yeah, I know. That's why I don't think I could really do fishing.
Anno
Oh no she's hooked
月
i bet even rika can put a worm on a hook! how'd you get through boyhood without doing that
Anno
Wouldn't surprise me! I've long known this is a pretty thorough shortcoming of mine.
>>831058 When I fished as a kid I was too young for the adults around me to let me put stuff on hooks. About the time I was probably getting old enough to we stopped visiting my grandparents so often so we weren't fishing there.
And I don't think fishing's a hobby my dad particularly cared for so he didn't take me or my brothers out to do it. So since it wasn't something we showed personal interest it, it didn't really ever happen.
月
ive never fished like this though it's kinda cute catch a bunch of lil small fishies
月
cleaning and cooking them fresh is the best part fresh caught fishes are so tasty
i enjoyed that one
Anno
It sounds really unpleasant to me! The more closer to their original form, the harder it is for me to stomach fish or meat. I can't do lobster or mussels for that reason. There's too much distress involved.
Yuu
I enjoy fishing even if it's a bit gross.
月
>>831063 i can't relate, sorry! the head meat and tail meat are the best parts of the fish
i love cooking up the whole fish. the skin gets crispy and delicious
plus once you have licensure and stuff, the fish are free!
Anno
The casting and catching part is nice. All the other components just seem far too visceral for me.
>>831065 I can handle like shanks of salmon with the skin still on but that's still quite abstracted from an actual fish since it's just a chunk of meat. My imagination gets the better of me if it's too close to the original body.
Yuu
That was pretty good.
Anno
Yeah, it's a CGDCT show in a niche that hasn't really been done before. There was that cute boys doing fishing things like five or six years back but that's the closest thing that comes to mind.
月
i enjoyed it thanks for having me for anime
some good shows tonight
Anno
Thanks for being along! We'll be getting more of some of the other good stuff running this season tomorrow too if you're free and wanting.
Kumeta, the guy behind Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei has a series getting adapted this season, Kakushigoto. The first two episodes have been really nice and completely his style. It comes out for Thursday nights.
