Thread #857013

Oh hi hey hello
You're a bit earlier than expected.

Did you get up to anything fun over the weekend?

Ahiru no Sora
Enen no Shoboutai
Kanojo, Okarishimasu
Lapis ReLights
Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha
Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!
Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru Kan

It was okay.

what episode of ahiru is this?

Should be thirty-eight

>>857018
Did you at least get some R&R over it?

Yeah, some.

yahari
ahiru
maou
uzaki

It's a little surprising Yahari got more anime after all these years.
The LNs concluded last year or early this year and I think the Kan in the name stands for final, so we might see a proper conclusion to the story in this adaptation.

okay
yahari1

okay
let's start

Reaaaady

Hah hah what is this OP bit
A standardly nice Yanagi Nagi OP though.

They're even bringing back the first OP here for the piano OST

I remember it left off at a suspensful moment but can't remember what was happening.

Yeah I'm completely fuzzy on the details too.
I think it had something to do with the love triangle that's arisen between these three.
Looks like right now they're gonna be doing stuff concerning Yukino's dysfunctional family.

If I remember correctly this blue-haired girl got shafted hard by the anime adaptations.
She got some scenes and characterization in the novels taht -that were covered by the first anime season and that stuff pretty much got cut entirely by the adaptation.

yeah maybe she did
it's been so long...

He definitely seems to have a better personality than what he used to.
I remember him being a proper jerk-ass in the first season but he's gotten more playful and interactive now.

Hah hah wow.
Did she take his call out there all that seriously.

Batting cages seem kind of fun.
They're the kind of thing you rarely -- if ever -- see here, I don't think I've seen one ever.
I'd definitely like to give one a try.

Yeah getting a harem helped his disposition a lot.

Helped him remember how to be human.
How nice.

It's a bit funny how they built up that third girl, the blonde kouhai one, as a third entry into the love triangle but by this point she's clearly relegated to secondary character status.
As far as the main drama goes, it's only really concerning Hikigaya, Yukino, and Yui.

Yeah, I felt like it was going to go that way

okay
ahiru
okay
lets start

Baske

Oh she got blind-invited to a mixer.
I feel like these are really the kinds of things that suck a lot if you're not expecting them.

The blonde guy looked like he might've been half a decent human bean though.

Sora is one thing with his doofy short-cut haircut.
But Momoharu's been stripped of like, everything about his identity by cutting his hair.

I think long hair on short girls is pretty cute.

Lots of short haired girls in this though.

Yeah it's a bit of a shame.
Though the series seems to acknowledge hair grows over time and has a lot of the characters that trim back hair that's growing out.
Even Madoka, that black-haired girl that features pretty regularly, I think her hair's grown out a good bit from when she cut it early in the series.

ah i had some computer trouble
what time are we on

Oh the episode's over hah hah

oh sorry
yeah it was down for a few minutes

okay
maou
okay
lets start

Time for a weekly dose of power tripping

Yeah I kind of figured they'd do something like this.
PK mentioned there was a lot from the past they didn't cover in the first episode and I expected we might see it in episode two.
We get to see what he did to be so incredible in the past.

oh he just killed kirito

Wow hah hah he just started talking as an infant.
His parents are really incredible for just embracing a weird kid so happily.

Looks like a clerical error totally messed up what people think the original Maou was named and like.
Meaning this school's test for measuring how close you are to the original Maou is totally off the mark.

Well he's just so strong he overloads the test or whatever.

Sure but that's not the aptitude test they were talking about.
The one that he messed up by being actually correct was a pop quiz more than than a test.
He had the correct information but since ever since he died there seems to have been incorrectly recorded information, he was considered incorrect.

She's got a bit more engaging of a personality than the white-haired girl.

asuka and the reiclone

Yeah I guess that's true.
We haven't really this close of a Rei/Asuka dynamic show in -in a show in a while.

Hah hah hah
When finesse fails just assault with brute strength.
That's a fun strategy.

He definitely has a kingly disposition.

Man his parents are pretty energetic.

Sasha did drop the feisty pretty fast though
She's not as haughty as she was kinda made out to be in the first half of the episode.

Hm well she's got some energy to her either way.

I think I like the second heroine better

I'm inclined to agree, yeah.
Generally those with more energy and volume appeal to me better than soft-spoken and agreeable types.
Maybe the first one will get some more charm points as the series goes on though.

uzaki
okay
lets start

This should be some cute silly fun.

Oh it's a college-age show.
I just always figured they were highschoolers.
Guess that's what i get for never properly checking in with the manga.

She's even shorter than I expected too.
With that kind of stature it kinda feels like she'd topple over if she leaned a bit too much forward.

She's got some cunning to her.

I'vebeen lots of
we
er

I've seen lots of screenshots of this
it's a meme show this season

The manga's been a bit of a meme for a long time.
She's certainly got a design that catches people's eyes after all.

I see that the animators are having fun with it too.

Honestly even putting aside the obvious focal point the animation is really solid overall.
Or at least it's very clean-looking and they really put a lot of detail into her eyes.
I like shows that care about eyes.

From what I've heard aside from the design side of things the series is a bit of a cross-up between Takagi-san, that show with the forehead girl that bullies the boy she likes, and Aho-Girl.

She's significantly less bully though.
It's just light bullying.

Well with such SUGOI DEKAI like hers of course her shoulders would always be tense.

>>857081
I always took Takagi to be relatively light though.
And her bullying always came with a flirtatious finish too anyway.

You know what you're doing when you wear a shirt like that and do stuff like that.

I feel like that's normally the case yeah.
But I think Uzaki might be dense to her body here.

Well she was pretty cool with it

I guess I've always been sufficiently flexible that I don't have to worry about stuff like that.
There isn't really a physical exertion that I can't jump into.

I think this is an anime character thing.
I could pick up a bat and swing it with no warmup.
It's strange to have stuff like that happen before you're like 60.

Well having such SUGOI DEKAI like her might mess with it too.
That's a lot of extra weight she's swinging.
She also went full power into the swing, it's not like it was a carefree swing.

The apps you can get at ramen restaurants are pretty great, yeah.
Karaage is a 10/10 fried chicken type.
Good quality gyoza are delicious too.

Yeah, it looks really tasty.

If you have any place near you that does it I'd recommend it.

It's lines like those that really makes you think she's doing it intentionally.
But I think she's just a Super Baka.

She's gotta be doing it intentionally with a shirt like that.
That was nice end of the night comfy though
thanks for anime

Yeah it fits the comfy niche spot-on.
Nice way to wrap up the weekend.

Good night, and good luck with the week Rika.
