For a world where magic is an extreme rarity I'm surprised they've got stuff like airships.
Anno
>A magic ship won't fall out of the sky >Proceeds to fall out of the sky
Anno
I guess this'll be his first real Sasuga moment Taking down a zombie dragon on his own.
Yuu
He reminds me of that Isekai from a few seasons ago where the guy was a magic genius who could do everything after episode 1
Anno
Yeah, Kenja no Mago. I made a similar remark the first night we were watching this series.
Anno
Guess dragon bones are worth a pretty penny
Yuu
Yeah, it's like that show. I forgot the name. I guess he can make a lot of money with how overpowered he is
Anno
Just last episode he was brushing elbows with a duke or baron or whatever. Now he's a personal invitee of the king. The dragon did seem like the kind of thing that would be a real menace though. And he took it out without much issue. Sasuga.
Anno
Yeah now despite leaving home to intentionally avoid a power dispute with his brother he's ended up becoming a higher noble than his family. I'm sure that'll sit well with how green his older brother seems to be.
Yuu
I guess like the last mary sue he's going to get assigned like a team
Anno
It's sensible at least. They implied in like episode one or two that magic users tend to get a lot of political power. But with how rare they are they'd probably be better put to work using that magic to applicative use rather than just be administrators.
Anno
Feudal politics sure are a pain. So much of stepping carefully and avoiding losing face. That's no way to live an easygoing life.
Anno
Speaking of pains my A key is getting really unresponsive all of a sudden. This'll make things difficult.
Anno
Of course the isekai'd guy gets to making miso. Can't be a proper Japanese person without miso.
Yuu
Yeah they always bring a little bit of Japan with them
Anno
Sometimes a lot of Japan!
For all the world bleeding Main does in Honzuki she at least sticks to no particular cultural affiliation with the things she brings over. Maybe that helps with making it not seem so weird that a seven-year-old kid knows how to make paper.
Yuu
Yeah, it's amazing she knows how to do stuff like paper I don't know how to do that
ep 5 okay let's start
Anno
He shtick before she died was she loved reading and absorbed all sorts of trivial information in doing so. Paper's pretty easy to make, though it is a labourious process without some simple machinery.
Anno
>Hohenheim That was the name of the Elric dad in Full Metal Alchemist hah hah
Anno
For nobility, marriage is business!
Yuu
I'm sure he'll get a nic ecute waifu
Anno
He's already betrothed to this nun girl.
Yuu
These guys always geta bunch on the side too
Anno
Why is he now a clown.
Anno
Oh. Surely they could have considered a less ridiculous disguise.
Anno
>>838504 I bet at least one of those girls in his party will start crushing on him. Though it would be nice if they develop something with the other guy.
Yuu
Either both of them will or one will crush on him and the other on his bro
but I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up with a full sized harem
Anno
He's already learned teleportation magic too. That's one of those things that lets you get around most of the problems of living in a low-tech world like this.
Yuu
Teleportation magic seems to be one of those things all mary sue protagonists learn early.
Anno
Oh blue-hair got the right idea quick. They're both pretty excited about the idea of being concubines though.
Anno
She's not very good at this.
Anno
His to-be wife is much cuter out of the nun habit. She does really feel like she's putting on way too much of a polite face though.
Yuu
Yeah she's a pretty cute waifu
Anno
What a dweeb
If it's crafted with a magic stone though does that make it a magic ring
Anno
She's trying to play political chess with him and he's just interested in playing checkers. He's gonna throw her off her game!
Yuu
He's so strong he doesn't have to be cunning
kashugoto play okay lets start!
Anno
Ka Ku Shi Go To !
Anno
That's such a kid solution to a situation like that.
Man those authentic red kid's backpacks aren't exactly cheap. There's probably like a few hundred dollars in backpacks in that cupboard.
Anno
This is a very SZS bit hah hah
Anno
>Mangaka are self-employed Maybe by the literal and legal definition in Japan. But considering pretty much all serial manga gets published by magazines in Japan, their work doesn't really get out there without them being in a contract with a company.
Anno
Yeah I figured this person sending Hina backpacks was Hina's maternal grandfather.
Yuu
>>838521 I think it counts as self imployed because they're funny about definitions and qualifications and whatnot like NEET
Anno
Yeah, I know. Like I said it probably fits the literal definition. But practically they're making work for the magazine publishing company.
Anno
Gotou is a pretty dashing guy.
Anno
Wow. Yeah come on man choose your words better.
Anno
This is why it's best to not make up silly lies! They always end up being more trouble to maintain than the actual truth.
Yuu
Kumeta is really writing what he knows here
Anno
I wonder if he's had a kid in recent years. The family parts with Hina and Gotou are actually quite tender.
His work is pretty dumby-bawdy but he seems to have a quite a few female fans.
Anno
Hah hah He thinks they're all getting paid to show up here. But they think they're just asking him about their actual jobs.
Wow that's a lot of hamburgers don't feed all that to a kid.
Yuu
The extreme pessimism is also kumeta writing what he knows
Anno
It's good to have a bit of an ego if you're a creative type. If you don't have any pride in your own work you'll probably burn out on it fast. Do the things you take satisfaction in!
Anno
Wow that's an awful coincidence/ Good thing there's-yeah A very good excuse for this.
Anno
Oh no poor Gotou. His own daughter can't even recognize him in mangaka-wear.
Yuu
His black haired characters are always so well designed
Anno
I wonder if we'll get the delivery on the hanging mystery of these flashforward bits before the season's done. I know the manga's ending some time later this year so there might be an opportunity to tie things up in both the manga and anime.
月
i just got home ive had another extremely stressful and fatiguing day though sorry i'll try to be here tomorrow
Yuu
hey moon, faighto faighto good luck!
okay we'll have some of your shows for tomorrow oh yeah maybe monday?
we'll see
anyway we'll have good shows next time we watch!
Anno
Tomorrow's Friday though Rika, would you be able to make it? >>838540 Yeah I know right.
Moving is a lot of work. My parents have been shifting everything from this house up to the cottage/new place up north. And getting the house in as shipshape as possible.
I'll probably have to figure what I want to pack to keep in the city and what to let them take up north for storage.
Okay I'm good for Tamayomi.
Anno
Like two weeks late, HorribleSubs finally put out a better version than the QUALITY one they had for episode four.
Anno
Their advisor seems to have taken pretty enthusiastically to the coachi role.
Yuu
The quality seems to be quite a bit better this time
Anno
The actual releae -release for episode four was the same standard quality the show has kept up. This episode's in that same ballpark too.
Anno
They've only really got the bare minimum of players to run a baseball team. I guess with pitcher exhaustion it would be a good idea to have a back-up or two, but even then the pitcher would still be playing a base.
Yuu
A baseball team is almost too many characters at the bare minmum for a girls show like this they couldn't do it with like alernates and stuff
Anno
Honestly while the quality isn't stellar they do get the animation of body motion pretty decently.
There are a few occasions where it's just 3D CGI though.
Yuu
I was noticing the really obvious CGI too
Anno
This is totally not something I've looked up to make sure of but I saw in a thread on /a/ that this is a studio that works primarily in 3D CGI's first time doing a 2D animation. Which might explain why the 3D CGI is pretty crisp and the 2D is, well.
Anno
Unlike most sports shows there hasn't been much focus on the actual matches they play. There was that one last episode but they went through a couple this episode barely even showing us them.
Yuu
Yeah, it's pretty standard cute girls show
okay dropkick 11 okay lets start
Anno
DUROPPU KIIIIKKU
Anno
A KI HAAAA BARA
Anno
There's some cuts from the first season here.
Anno
Actually i think this is just a bunch of shots from the two seasons but with a new voiceover.
Anno
I feel like Yurine's telling of the events is a bit exaggerated. Sasuga chuuni
Yuu
>my childhood friend ATM
Anno
Well yeah, Medusa is the AKUMA T<something> MEDUSA
Anno
Oh we get a rendition of the song she sung last episode but this time she's not in the process of dying.
Yuu
Yeah, this one is even more like a last episode.
also a ibt low effort since they're reusing scenes
Anno
The entire episode aside from Jashin's singing animation and that bit with Yurine's exaggerated telling of how she and Jashin met has been a cut-and-paste of scenes from season one and two. It's kinda funny since they picked shots that match the tone of the new voice lines so they jump from unrelated visual to unrelated visual. But it's definitely lazy.
Anno
Honestly this is a really nice song though.
Yuu
wow it really is like the whole episode
Anno
I guess all they could get budget for was ten full episodes and a bit of extra. As I understand this series is kind of a passion project of the studio so maybe they couldn't stand to just have the budget spread thinly to get more episodes andddddddddddddddd What. And instead just chose ot make fewer, more polished episodes. The quality in this series has been extremely clean and consistent, after all.
Yuu
They even made fun of it basically being recap
Anno
Those guys getting subbed at the end of the episode were at the top of it too, and they kinda said the same kinda stuff then. I'd not been reading too closely so I wasn't sure if they concluded it was gonna be a spoofy recap or not in it, but I guess it ended up being so.
Kind of a shame they couldn't do a proper episode for it but getting that insert song was great. I really liked it.
