need to be up early tomorrow

glepnir
hamefura
pricon
kaguya-sama

let's start with that, may put in a 5th if we make good time and i don't need to sleep

Can we do Great Pretender instead of Glep though
I really want to check it out.

Sure, give me a sec to find it. It's not on my bot.

Yeah there's a weird group doing the subs since it's a Netflix show

I think they're Die Hot?

Yeah, I think I found it.

okay
great pretender

okay
lets start

Kirara caught this earlier in the week and really enjoyed it.
So I'm hoping it delivers.

I remember this from the PV at least.

That's pretty sly.

Lots of English so far.
Colorful palette.

Yeah, I like how the palette works the background.
The character designs, I think they're by the Monogatari artist.

Mr. Roboto

I wonder if this white guy is a gaijin though
His voice actor, I mean.
There's a vibe to his voice that's vaguely French.

Looks like hey're just going to do Japanese for conveneinece sometimes.

Yeah, it is a Japanese anime after all.
Guess there's only so much English they can reasonably put in.

I wonder if the Japanese release had subs for that English part.

Glasses really change up how he looks though.

>>847487
That's fine. The English was neat but I like the Japanese better.

It was funny from the MC but I did kinda like how the French guy sounded.

Wow, cocaine? In my Japanese anime?

I'd say I doubt there's a designer drug that can have that kind of effect on people, but I do know there's some WEIRD shit out there.

Yeah, drug use is something you don't see that oftne in anime.

The last time I saw anything like that was Sarazanmai with the weed one of the kids was selling.
And that probably only went through because it was Ikuhara directing.

I wonder why he's freaking out so much about the gold watches everyone's got.
They're probably pricey, sure, but not that weird a thing to have.

IT doesnt seem like a very enjoyable trip for him though.

I think he was freaking out independent of the drug though.
At least I got the feeling the drugs the French guy was selling was just a fake.

Well that was interesting.

This is very Queen-y.

>Performed by Freddie Mercury
Ah yeah that would be why.

hamefura
okay
lets start

Ba ka ri na

Oh yeah this ended on a totally not much of a cliffhanger.

Ah maybe it's just fate correcting itself.
Or trying to, at least.
The main characters all like her so they won't prosecute her so some mooks are filling in.

This defense of hers is kind of more abuse than anything.

For a moment there though the plot almost corrected itself and returned Maria to her heroine status.
Catarina's kinda swiped it from her.

good karma saved her

I guess?
She's been intentionally avoiding doing the things that made Catarina a villain in the game though.
I dunno if that's karma or if she's just being a good person and therefore isn't really in a spot to be punished.
But maybe that's all karma is in the end.

Man someone's out to get Catarina.
Though also abduct Maria.
Kind of a weird set of objectives.

Oh okay.
That's a bit of a shoehorn-y explanation but it works.

Well things sure got dark fast.

You'd think she'd remember a story arc in the game though where the player character gets abducted.
And if she didn't, it would kind of be an indication she's REALLY taken this story off its original rails.

Sounds rather like he's a Serious Dick

Hah hah wow Catarina.
Maybe not be so impulsive around potential murderers.

So he hates her ... because she's nice to guys?

final boss discovered

Kinda came out of left field too.
How could anyone hate Catarina anyway.
She's so gosh-darned nice.

pricon!
okay lets start

Rounding out Baka Hour

Being haunted by a pudding ghost must be terrifying.

pudding ghost is weird
can you eat it?

Rather I think it wants to eat pudding.
I guess there's nothing stopping you from trying to eat it though.

>This is quite the unusual guild house
From what we've seen all guild houses have been really unique though.
What exactly is a normal guild house?

Ah here we go.
I had a feeling she would be a bit less emphatic when she left the crystal.

I guess this vampire queen's made a lot of tall promises to these girls.

Hah hah hah
I guess he is princess-carrying her.

Aaaand yep

The black haired cat is very well designed.

Yeah Karyl is super cute.
Her reactions are always excellent too.

Oh Pecorine's cute with a ponytail.

Wow the ghost really did turn them into pudding.

Oh no the MC got eaten
I guess we need a new MC now.

kaguya
okay
lets start

Reaaaady

Iino's really had a hard time in her first few days.

I feel like her delusion is her defending the very thing she wants to prosecute.

Even though she's misinterpreting a bit, it's true that they're an intimidating bunch.

It's funny that Ishigami doesn't even factor in here.

She has managed to catch all the worst parts of the dialogue they've had since she joi

...
Peanuts?

Wow, charlie brown reference.

>Fifty Shape of Love
That is NOT a novel a girl her age should be reading.
Nevermind it really doesn't strike me the kind of reading she'd prefer.

We've spent a lot of this episode in one delusion or another.

Iino's imagination is great.
She gets so carried away.

This is really swinging SHARPLY the other way though.

Back to the movie PV

Iino is not the kind of girl who can really understand complex emotions like that.

Ah man
Kaguya's seiyuu goes so squeaky when she's playing flustered.
It's perfect.

Ohhhh
That's what the weird thing she does with resting her cheek on the opposite hand.
Er that's what it's all about.
It's such a weird way to hold yourself.

Wow she trained a powerful new skill.

She kinda seems to go back into her icy self though when she does it.

He found a perfect counter really quick.

Oh an unexpected shortcoming of her technique.

>>847557
He didn't even try either.
What a powerful opponent.

oh well that works too I guess

Well she did KO her crush.
That's a bit of a downside.

Riajuu bakuhatsu!

This is really out of Ishigami's element.
It's really out of my element too, yeesh.

Wow, trading clothes.
Kind of a lewd game.

I bet this is Ishigami taking seriously something the rest of the cheerleading squad

Ah oh no ah
Poor Iino.
This is probably a disaster just waiting to happen.

Yeah.
No way this segment ends without the other girls seeing him.

Oh
no I guess this is the kind of bad end he's going to get

Hah hah she did him up a bit like a geisha.

But yeah I bet this is Ishigami taking seriously a bit of an off-hand joke the cheerleading squad said without actually expecting to happen.

Looks like the climax of this season will be the athletics festival then.

Season one's climax was the summer festival.
Now we're in late summer/early-autumn and they're heading into the athletics festival.
Should be fun.

okay, thanks for anime
as promised I'm going to bed now
see you tomorrow

Yup yup, good luck with your early start.
Hope you get some good rest.
