Thread #860243

Hi hey hello
I'm in luck I'm still in the city for tonight.
Plenty of stuff came out too.

Brand New Animal
Ahiru no Sora
Black Clover
Deca-Dence
Gibiate
Koi to Producer - Evol x Love

are any of those episode 1?

Nope.
Gibiate and Koi to Producer are episode twos but they're both kindaaaa ... eh
If this season wasn't such a dry spell I don't think they'd make the cut.
Deca-Dence is episode three but really, really good so far. Probably one of the standouts of the season.

Black Clover is literal shounen trash and Ahiru is a basketball sports anime that's probably about midling quality.

BNA is Trigger's latest work and it's been a lot of fun so far but it's at episode eleven by this point so it's almost over.

ahiru
brand new animal
deca
producer

alright i'll watch eps 1 and 2 of deca this week
(and 3 if you watch that)
hmmm, i guess i don't have work until 9:30
yeah i can just do it now

that's probably the best choice you can make tonight yeah
you can watch those 2 and be ready for 3

ahiru
okay
lets start

Baske
Booru

IS this supposed to be some stamina exercise.
I feel like there's better ways of training stamina than yelling goofily.

it's not on CR but it's on... hulu

>>860255
Hm, maybe it's licensed by Sentai.
I don't think they've got an agreement with Crunchyroll.

time for training
and some bath scenes

Yeah but it's all just guys.
That's not particularly exciting for me.

wow deca goes really hard really fast
alright i'll let you guys know when i'm caught up

It'll be fun to get your reactions.
A lot of the show goes pretty crazy.

Super-competitive sports teams probably suck real bad to be in.
We got the kind of romantic take on it with Diamond no Ace but this team doesn't beat around the bush.
There's only so many slots on a first-string team after all.

Yeah, deca is really good.

>>860261
yeah you have to be obsessed

>Nobody is trying to stop me
Dude they all tried to stop you last night

Yeah this black-haired guy seems to kinda be one of those territorial players.
If you discourage up and coming kouhai from staying with the team then you have less risk to your position in the team.

Another person who falls victim to a lousy haircut.
Cutting your hair to show how "serious" you are seems real silly to me.

>>860267
Is this author for this female?
Cutting your hair after a big change is a girl thing,

No clue, I'll go see if it's obvious.
Hm, evidence points to them being male.

>>860268
To be fair I'm pretty sure shaving your head to show you made an error and are owning up to it is a cultural thing for guys in Japan anyway.
But yeah, we've also had people just do more normal trims too, like the MC and the blonde guy.
The blonde guy by far is the biggest loser though.
Like a pompadour/mullet isn't a great look but it's better than what he's rocking now.

There really are a lot of characters in this with bad hair, now that I think about it.

It's probably in part that the main cast is a bunch of remediated delinquents.
Punks like that don't really care for looking stylish or attractive.

I like this wild mane that Tobi has now though over his cornrows from the early parts of fhe series.
But that's more because cornrows is just a really dumb look to me.

Even the guys with long hair just kinda seem greasy

They probably are pretty greasy hah hah
With all the sports they play their hair is probably in a perpetual state of oiled up.

They're anime characters so they should be less greasy

okay
BNA

okay
lets start

Some times art's just gotta imitate life

i'm awestruck at the first ep of deca

>>860277
Yeah that's probably the appropriate reaction.
That first episode just went full power and didn't stop.

i want to drink with boss

Well you're in luck because he's the main character of episode two.

oh god this is a dark fucking turn REAL FAST

But presented so colourfully and poppy!

Oh their song's just Night Running.
It's a good song though.
I guess that's why it played when Michiru was flashbacking

animals got to show off a bit there

Having animal powers must be pretty useful.
Even if you're limited to just one species.

I'm happy that Michiru has suceeded in driving at least a slight wedge between Nazuna and the creepy priest.
Though she still goes along with the broad expectations he lays out for her.
Goes to show Nazuna isn't an entirely narcissistic case.

Ah here she goes.
It took her a long time to finally draw inspiration from Shirou.

It got a bit trippy there for a second.

Yeah they've used that before for Shirou relying on his sense of smell.

It looks like Shirou's gonna try and assassinate Nazuna.
That would probably put him at severe odds with Michiru hah hah.

How extremely aidoru-poi
I guess Nazuna finally acheived her dream.

She got dangerously furry too.

Well she is the aidoru of the beastmen.
She's got to be a proper beast in her own right.

The priest has really so far played Nazuna perfectly.
Like if you think about how the beastmen have been persecuted by humans, to be told their idol is actually human would probably incite a huge feeling of betrayal.
But that's not something Nazuna would really know she's only been a beastman for a few months or so.

this is dark....

They've given her idol activities a lot of time this episode
seems like things are about to kick off though

Yeah I bet this is the back-up plan they had in case she didn't confess to being human.

Yeah here he's basically just telling them all anyway.

And with a riot like this the humans basically have the perfectly constructed justification for forcefully vaccinating all the beastmen and making them all human.
Keikaku doori

Yeah this is a big keikaku doori that's kicking off

Ah now even Shirou's gone berserk.
He's probably a real proper monster conpared to all these other ones.

Ah, well.
Shit.

And they've got the ED in monochrome rather than it's usual colours hah hah.

>>860304
Providing Asenshi gets the final episode out in good time hah hah.
BNA's been out in full since like, uh, I dunno.
Maybe May or early June?

Looking forward to next week.

what's BNA about?

i'm ready
also holy fuck

>>860305
Zootopia, kinda.
The MC is a formerly human girl turned into a beastman, who's fled to a special district called Anima City which is a haven for beastmen, a long-persecuted race of half-beast humans.
There she meets a wolfman who acts as a kind of vigilante protector of the city, and gets caught up in the complicated sociological issues that plague the city, all while trying to uncover how she was turned from human into beastman.

deca time

iokay
we're orange
let's start

hey i'm actually kinda worried that my version will be slightly off from yours but that's okay
i just got past the intro screens

i'm watching on hulu

ready
i'll let you know when the OP starts for me

Yeah it'll probably be fine.

The HS RIP starts from the Kadokawa intro.

oh ok
then we'll be the same

This is kind of what I suspected happened, yeah.
During her accident she briefly died, which, yeah.
Made the Deca-Dence system assume she was proper dead.

kaburagi is really cool and i wish he was a fighting game character

I want to see more of the way they fight using the zero-G gear.
It's kinda reminscent of the Attack on Titan style.

i wanna know more about the race of sentient machines run by a singular corporation

Yeah.
It's a bit hard to tell what's quite going on there.
Are they aliens? Earth-made AI that got way too out of hand?

This show has done
gone a lot of places in a short time

Also why are there all these monsters populating Earth now?
Did the entity which runs Deca-Dence introduce them to the planet? Did they come here themselves?

Kaburagi is extremely unflappable.
Nothing fazes him.

yeah so he's def training her to destroy the company

Wow girl that's awfully ABLIST of you

I wonder if the actual humans that get to join the not-humans on these monster hunting expeditions are let in on the secret that it's all just a game.
My assumptions are they aren't, but maybe ones like the Kurenai lady put it together from being so involved with the Gears.

i'm a little curious about why tankers fight at all

Probably more than a few are adrenaline junkies.
Others probably do it out of a sense of purpose. For the Tankers after all, Deca-Dence is their home, and their last safe space in a wasteland of monsters.

i wish kaburagi was my dad

>>860325
nah i don't mean like what motivations the tankers have
i mean like why they're allowed

these sentient machines (who i don't know the name of yet) seem to be pretty all-powerful

also apparently there's a whole world that's still completely fine outside the bubble too

>>860328
They're called Gears in the Deca-Dence game.
Dunno if that's what they actually consider themselves but it works well enough I think.

>>860327
Judging from the first episode the governing system which presides over Deca-Dence only allow a very few Tankers to fight.
So they probably take into account reproduction rates and don't let more Tankers fight than they can afford to lose.
Plus it helps the fortress from becoming overpopulated.

oh here we go
it's like terminator but the terminators won and also they enjoy games?

>Acquired all rights to humanity
Even being clearly told why that's the case, holy fuck.

well damn
what a world

So yeah, these machines are Earth-made cyborgs that overran the dwindling human population.

so this is the story of a rebellion

Gosh, how cute.

The ... pet is probably fine as long as no one looks too closely, but I think Kaburagi is in the right concerning keeping it inside for its own safety.

It sure is weird looking

I think it would be kinda neat if she got a special armament for her prosthetic.
She's in a unique position for body-modification.

Yeah that's some cool shit
Almost worth losing half an arm for.

Ah shit this is probably not good.

I wonder if this mission control room is tasked by Gears or Tankers.
Ah Kaburagi's got a direct line to them so I guess it's Gears.

Kaburagi can be a real mood at times.
He's only really stayed in operation for the sake of other people.

man this world is really cool
they bruteforced the worldbuilding but in a very refreshing way
good show i like it

man i'm up way later than i thought i would be
oops

>>860344
I think delivering the first episode with very little context but a lot of Very Cool stuff to see helps cushion some straight worldbuilding like that.
Sure getting all the context is a bit overwhelming but you're already hooked from the first episode so you don't really care.

also this chick lost her arm in the first few minutes and then her dad was dead
that kind of quick first-impression is very good
it signals to the audience that they aren't here to pull nobody's chain

This is a good show

producer
okay
lets start!

Hey did you know that EVOL is just LOVE backwards

This show isn't even bad, not great, sure, but not bad.
But that fucking name is just, eugh.

thanks for anime!

>>860349
oh yeah I guess it is

>>860350
thanks for anime

>>860350
Good the fuck to sleep nerd
Go, even.
Go the fuck to sleep nerd.

CEO Sugita seems to be the main male lead of the harem.
We even got that bit with him saving her when they were kids.
And his company is who finances her show.

The CEO is a good target
she should go after him

Plus he can also ZA WARUDO
The other guys so far just seem to teleport or fly or do stuff like that.
Stopping time is much more powerful comparatively

"Mr. Love: Queen's Choice" is such a dumb localized name though, man.

They just slapped words together.

Well the series seems to lean heavily on the Red Queen's Hypothesis, so the second bit ... kinda makes sense.
Mr. Love is pretty awful though.

The professor is obviously one of these superhumans so of course he'd believe her, but the two other ladies are taking her claim that someone was able to teleport her around pretty in stride.

Oh she knew this guy in high school.
That's pretty close to being childhood friends.
Guess he fills the bad boy character niche for this otomege.
Even though he's a cop.

What a show-off

Yeah that's such an awful phrase

this is a weird show really
It's cause it's based on a phone game for girls
but it's weird she's the producer

Pretty much all the guys are way too stoic.
They're all super-composed and don't do anything like smirking or emoting in endearing ways.
Maybe it's trying to give them a mature air but it just makes them boring to me.

Hah hah she just got up and teleported

well
characters in these types of games can be one dimensional
and in this they feel really on dimensional

I wonder if she's also got a special power.
She kinda predicted this would happen in a dream of hers.
Maybe she's a pre-cog.

Oh he's showing a bit of personality.
Still about the barest minimum but it's more than nothing I guess.

Hah hah and then he just books it.

I guess her dad was investigating this Black Swan when he vanished.
So now she's personally wrapped up in what's going on.

The guy designs are a bit too bishie for me honestly

They're a bit too homogenous in my books.
Aside from swapping hair colour and outfits there's very little visual distinction.
It's a small cast so it doesn't really matter but it's still a point against the series.

Plus combined with how flat most of their characters are it really doesn't make them stand out.
it makes me wonder how the phone game was popular.
But I guess it was probably primarily marketed at a Chinese audience.

Yeah, I guess so
this one would be a pass on a more normal season I think

okay
thanks for anime

We've been spoiled with overflowing seasons for far too long!

Thanks for anime.
Hopefully I see you for real //Hopefully I see you tomorrow for real this time.
