Yesterday wo Utatte

Oh Black Clover is joining the ranks of shows that'll be getting Covid-19 delays.
There'll be an episode this week but not the following and onwards until ... well when things go back to normal I guess.

I hope we don't get too many shows corona delayed.
that would be awful


any sign of moon?

Nowhere I can see.

Oh there's also an episode four for Brand New Animal I missed since it's not with the HorribleSubs chunk of my torrent list.

brand new animal
plunderer
gleipnir
listeners
kaguya

Funnily enough the production for Jashin-chan having wrapped before the season began and Brand New Animal having at least the first half of the show done before it started airing probably means we'll consistently get those shows.
Dunno what the production pipeline for anything else airing looks like though.

brand new animal!

o0kay
lets start

BII ENU EH

Oh she's properly recognizing her weird tanuki powers.

im making some chicken i'll be here after a bit
see you soon

>>834459
Sounds good.
There's still like twenty minutes in BNA you've got plenty of time.

oh hi moon

They really don't waste time making it clear Anima City really isn't the paradise it's cracked up to be.
If anything it kinda comes off as a dystopic hellcity masquerading as a utopia.

Gosh Michiru don't be such a dweeb.
It's rude to interrupt people like that.

Oh she's a Pokemon.

>i look like a human?

can't they all disguise themselves, isn't that normal?

Sounds like she was born and raised in the city.
It seems like the city's government controls the flow of information and it seems like her dad might be particularly controlling of her.
She might honestly not know what it's like to look like a normal human bean.

Poor Michiru.
Even looking human now she's still traumatized from being hunted.

They've been using the ED for a leitmotif this episode.

>>834468
It's nice and cheap

Ah she screwed that up fast.
Oh maybe these kids are beastmen sympathizers.

>>834471
Yeah I can't really tell hah hah.
From the way she's talking it seems honest but I have a hard time trusting people at face value with something like this.

Is this a trap or what?

So the girl is a dolphin, but her mob boss dad doesn't really seem like one.
Are beastman types not genetic?

Still can't tell if it's a trap

I'm starting to get the feeling it's not a trap but they're treating Nina like she's a pet or curiousity, not a fellow human being.
It's still a kind of discrimination to treat people like that!

Yeah like this is harm born not of malice but stupidity.
Because the human people couldn't consider her as a human.

They got a tank set up for her really fast.

Oh I guess Shiro is properly an immortal freak of nature.

Ah
Well that was a bit of an emotional sucker punch.
It must be an awful time for Michiru's parents.
Their daughter just up and vanished from their perspective.
I've read a lot of real life accounts of missing or abducted children and it's always a harrowing experience for the parents and family.

I'm sure she'll get fixed and go back

plunderer
okay
let's start!

Reaaaady

okay
im ready

Oh yeah Jail was being threatened to death for snooping.

im taking some sleepytime stuff
we'll see how long i last
probably a couple shows

Jail sure took to his advice on learning to trust people other than himself fast.

>>834482
Hope it helps you get some good rest.

did yall figure out if those were ears or not

I still refuse to accept their ears unless I'm explicitly shown.
Like you can even see bits of ear pink behind them.

But there's still no explanation of what it is hah hah.

i dont think it works that way

I still don't trust Monocle-kun one bit.
He has been consistently, not really benevolent, but acting in a kind of good faith.
But something has to go wrong at some point and he seemed a good bit more crazy in the present time.

for a military outfit they really have no discipline or safety protocols

or any procedure at all for that matter

This guy's goat eyes still don't make any sense.
Everyone else has normal eyes.
Makes about as much sense as the girl's not-ears.

is it supposed to be subbed as rihito?
or are the subs just wonky
>>834491
okay i guess, but it sounds exactly the same

He started going by Licht at some point between this past three hundred years ago and the present time.
In this not-Japan or whatnot he was known a Rihito.

>>834490
It's pronounced almost precisely identically.
There might be a subtle hard double-T in the pronounciation for Licht, Rihito's remarked that the MC's way of calling him Licht is a bit different from how everyone calls him Rihito.
So same syllables but a slightly different enunciation for Licht.

this has become so high school anime

i dont really understand how it has even one cour, let alone multiple

i guess it's really cheap to animate

weird how the second cour is just we high school now

glep
okay
let s atat
start

meat suit

Glep glop

Oh yeah Moon did you see the Saki collab announcement for Mahjong Soul

oh no what happens now
>>834502
i heard about it but i didn't see the announcement or any details firsthand

Hah hah Clair looks so silly in the big bulky suit with her head poking out.

>>834503
I don't know too much about it but Maria was posting about it.
Got all excited but then almost immediately had his hopes dashed when the English Twitter posted the collab content would only be available in English for North American users.

I wonder if the meat body still works
I guess it is working with her, all that meat would be hard to move

Seems like she can still move it as easily as she could before.
We saw when they first gattai'd that Shuichi could relinquish total control so I bet it's a similar situation right now since he's fucking dead.

Did she actually throw the other one away?
I thought she was still keeping it.

If I'm remembering it correctly that means she's got two now.
For all it's worth.

The meat has to still be working
I couldn't move all that mead
meat

I'm sure she can just stick the head back on and it will be okay

Yeah but what happens when he tries to revert back to being a person.
If the head's not properly attached would it just fall off as soon as it was skin and flesh?

Well those are some sound effects.

He's quite upfront about being an alien.
I was kind of expecting a little more evasion about it.

The alien sure is alien.
I don't think it's acting intentionally to mess with her he's just kinda acting how he thinks is fine.

He kinda needs to do something about his voice if he's going to be her.

He's kinda being like a skeevy snake oil salesman or something.
Or a parody of a drug dealer trying to get some shmuck hooked on what he's selling.

i really like the soundtrack

This is a good one too.
I could put it on loop for hours probably and use it for brain filling.

I think this show would honestly be better if it were a bit more mundane.
The best thing it has going is the interaction between the protagonist.

It would be better as a traumatized girl meets boy in a more mundane setting.

MC seems to stepped up his confidence now.

>>834530
The weirdness is probably the mangaka's personal tastes mixing in.
Though I'd bet their editor probably is also encouraging it a bit since weirdness gets people talking.

I think the notion of them having to cooperate to fight is actually really cool, even if the way they acheive that is totally bizarre.
There's a kind of morbid fascination that I think the series leans on.

i think it depends a little bit on where they're trying to go with it

i could think of cool stuff they could do with it but they probably won't put a lot of meaning into the setting like that

it's probably weird just to be weird

listerners!

okay
lets starT!

There's also kind of a glut of plot threads going on too.
Or not plot threads but concept pieces.
Like you've got the body horror of turning into a sentient mascot suit that can literally be climbed into.
There's the battle action that they kinda promised with the first fight between the duo and that girl.
There's a kinda science fantasy thread with the alien and his coin-which-are-his-friends'-consciences collecting.
And there's the interpersonal stuff like the onee-chan being yandere for the MC and Clair's trauma and revenge obsession.
They've kind of set a lot in the first story arc.

im ready

this one looks kinda neat

My torrents stalled before they finished downloading Listeners so I needed to do a reboot to get my PC downloading again.
Do either of you have the time?

>>834541
5:00
5:10
5:20

I linked my own post but you get the idea

Arigato you

oh oops i had my image select open and didn't see the post

Mu is kind of funny with how "yeah no I don't really care" she can be.

...
Well this is the first time I've seen a drug delivered in an aerosol can.

I like this girl's fashion.
Big cardigans are moe.

yeah i like this big shirt

What the fuck.

Are they covered in mud?
Is it some kind of skin condition?

i like her dreary bags under the eyes
it's kinda cute

Yeah it's a sympathetic visual detail.

She's taking this investigation pretty seriously

Hah hah this guitar is totally riffing off the actual Smells Like Teen Spirit.
Sasuga.

I wonder if Mu is gonna be pissy that he's letting other people use the amp.
Though it seems to have a totally different form from her using it.

I can see why she doesn't have friends
the head plug is creepy

I wonder if the Players get a choice of where on their body the jack is placed.
It might not be in her control that her plug goes right into her head.

Wow.

what happens to that dude now

The neck probably is the best place for a plug
i guess the brain is an okay place but like
your brain is there and you'd have to remove part probably

Yeah that's a prime situation for drug overdose.
Just falling into a huge pool of it.

>>834566
Mu's is on her hip, that's probably the ideal location for one.
It's not really too weird a spot for it and it doesn't get in the way of them trying to move.

Wow, how dense.
I get Nir was kind of androgynous but it was still pretty clear she was a girl.

I mean like for your nerves

i mean the other girl's plug goes in her brain
like
where brain should be

mmm that's all for me tonight
thanks for having me
i'll see ya next time

in her brain

thanks for anime moon

kaguya

okay
lets start!

It's kinda neat how they're kinda hop-skotching from person to person trying to uncover the mystery of Jimi.
Though I think it would be cooler if each person had kinda like a contradicting story that shows him to be multifacted or something.

Okay I'm good for Kaguya.

>>834572
My problem with the brain jack is, well, just look how long the plug is on that hah hah.
Imagine something like that plunging deep into the centre of your brain.
Nevermind the parts that would have to be taken out to make space for it.

>>834571
Oyasumoon

He's really taken a liking to the fan Kaguya got him.

Kaguya's an expert schemer when she's not getting flustered.

Wow he's a real moon nerd.

Hah hah his love for space is making him impervious to getting flustered.
It's all getting turned back on Kaguya.

Apparently all the characters of the student council have names that relate to Kaguya-hime's story.

Kaguya is obvious but the student council's names derive from aspects of the story too.
I can't remember the particulars though, it's some Kanji wordplay.

They both have strong feelings about the moon.

>>834581
Yeah, that makes sense.

Gosh Shirogane you're gonna make Kaguya overheat.

Hah hah he actually kinda broke her.
She's completely lost her composure here.

That was a really cute and wholesome bit though.
Kaguya is super adorable when she gets flustered.

I wonder if the series was at like a risk point in the manga during this chapter.
It kinda has a bit of a finale vibe to it.
Though it could have not been at all and just the mangaka baiting the readership.
From what I've gathered that's definitely something he'd do.

Shirogane looks kinda naked without that cord on his collar.

Chika as council president would be a chaotic nightmare.
Would be fun though.

The balloons lifting Chika up had the letters S L T on them.
I wonder whatever it was insinuating.

>We can't be selfish
We can absolutely be selfish!
Human beings need to be selfish!

Hah hah she's already planning on replacing Chika.
What a monster.

There's been a lot of Kaguya having to be the giver in their exchanges this episode.
Like she outright lost in this one!

E L E C T I O N A R C

The war called love has been a lot less of a war recently

They're kinda like the pair from Rikei last season.
After a while the stuff they do just kinda ends up being flirty or mutual appreciation stuff and the whole notion of there being a winner or loser in love falls to the wayside.
ALMOST AS IF IT WAS NEVER LIKE THAT TO BEGIN WITH

They've been getting along a lot better recentl
recently

thanks for anime!

Yeah, thanks.
Good luck with the week!
