Gibiate No Guns Life Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come etc.
Yuu
We're pretty low on anime, huh?
Anno
Kinda. There is another show from last season that went on hiatus that started up again this week. It's a slightly fujobait-y police detective show that I wasn't too inspired to watch, especially since at the start of the last season we were swamped with stuff, and by the time we'd gotten on top of things it had gone on hiatus. But it has passably decent reviews, not that something like that's much to go on. It's something we could do if we wanted a fourth show for tonight.
Or we could just watch Digimon hah hah hah
JaPAN
the great anime drought of 2020
Yuu
okay no guns
i'm okay with just 3 tired yeah a bit okay let's start!
Anno
Long week?
Anno
it has been a long week for me at least can't wait for friday to be over
i don't think i have any anime but if there's something you think i'd like tilde, msg me
Anno
YITT'S BEEN ONE WEEK
Anno
>>862833 You're still working through Yahari's second season, right If you keep up the rate you've been going at it you might be good for next week's episode of season three.
Anno
HAYAI
Anno
Yeah this new robot Victor's presumably controlling looks like Mary did when she was younger.
Yuu
This episode really got right into it fast.
Anno
This elf-eared dork did have them at gunpoint at the close of the last episode. He's a real mean bastard too.
Yuu
I had a feeling he was going to do something crazy.
Anno
Yeah, looks like the evil Victor is getting his wish. He wanted to put Mary in danger to get Juzo to go full power. I guess this kind of monstrousity is why the Gun Slave robots were such powerhouses in the war.
Though for all of Juzo's fancy stuff there all it seemed to do was just generate him a new set of arms hah hah. He just air-pressure-flicked the elf guy too.
Yuu
I think there's an implication that there's something more behind it if he goes beserk or follows it through. and that he got stopped part of the way through
Anno
Yeah, Victor kinda said as much. And we've seen the kind of power Juzo has even in his "limited" state.
Anno
Victor really seems to have a bad habit of doing awful things after blacking out, hah hah. He massacred the research facility he was at, and before that go so mad with their adopted place of employment he killed their mentor. Though that latter one was definitely one he wasn't in the wrong for. Entirely at least.
Anno
Yeah so the Jack The Ripper-poi Victor wasn't a real Victor. And this back-up is also just a robot. So I guess the real, mostly human Victor is still hiding safely away. That's probably smart on his part.
Yuu
She called him Victor at the end though.
Anno
Yeah, I think the Victor bodies relay information
Anno
back to the real Victor, but his human consciousness spends its time "sleeping" while the dominant autonomous sub-brain he's got attached to him controls his body and the robots. I think that last body he was in was the robo-Victor though, considering she accused it kind of just being a copy of Victor from back when he was working with Juzo.
Anno
They finally got someone to fix Tetsuro's voice problem. But it seems he's still got that vocal ability that lets him mindjack Extended cyborgs. I wonder how that works.
Yuu
seens seems like things are heating up into the final arc
i just finished S2 so i'll be caught up by next week
Anno
if it wasn't for work i'd be caught up in an hour and a half this show has its hooks in me deep
Anno
iroha legit gave me a heart palpitation yesterday
Anno
>>862859 Do you want to end tonight on Gibiate then? I'm fine with it but it feels kinda outta step for you.
Yeah neither are particularly in the comfy. But I think Yahari has a better chance of delivering on it.
Yeah I'm good when you are.
Yuu
oh you're right we should do gibiate first
yahari isn't super comfy either though but oh well
gibiate ready? okay lets start
Anno
The ninja's really adopted a very Lancer-poi look with his new hair. Plus he kinda had Lancer vibes to begin with anyway.
Anno
That's quite the trek they've got planned though, from Tokyo to the north coast of the island. Japan might be small comparative to most countries but unless they've got enough vehicles for everyone who's alive, it's a long hike.
Anno
I don't think vaccine discovery is really something you can know is "almost complete". You either synthesize a vaccination or you hypothesize and test another set of chemical agents to see if they work.
Yuu
Wow that one has a different ability.
Anno
Yeah kind of a siren or something. Oh I guess this is another guy who's slipped out of his time. Looks kind of like a monk.
Anno
The ninja's adapted pretty well to modern equipment. Being resourceful like that is probably valuable as a ninja in the first place.
Yuu
He used them in a very ninja-like way though.
oh samurai is in trouble
Anno
What's a samurai with only a broken sword!
Anno
The monk seems to be the BEEF. The samurai's got sword skills, the ninja's resourceful, and the monk's the muscle.
Yuu
Yeah that was a high level enemy they beat.
Anno
Oh they're not all from the same historical point. The monk's from further back than they are. Though not much it seems since the samurai and the ninja are from around 1600 compared to the monk's ~1570.
So far we've only gotten historical small fry, I wonder if there'll ever be some big characters from history showing up.
Anno
The sword the old man pretty much died to get didn't last very long. It's already snapped in half.
Hah hah that's such a silly cliffhanger.
Yuu
wow what a place to leave off
Anno
It's especially silly to me since they all know the symptoms of turning into a monster. Why didn't the soldier tell the doctor he was turning. Did no one even ask after he was clearly impaled in the leg by a monster?
Yuu
Yeah, kinda weird considering we know people turn after being wounded by them
okay yahari okay lets start
Anno
Reaaaady
Anno
I really don't like photos that feature myself in them either. Even the most innocuous of stuff ends up just looking off to me.
Yuu
I don't really mind them
Anno
Wow he's a real can coffee nerd. That's kind of cute.
Anno
Hah hah IKE
You could really spend an entire day inside an IKEA pretty easily.
Anno
There's not a lot I've ever really wanted to be, even as a kid. I've always wanted to write, that's remained consistent at least. My mother says I wanted to be a detective as a kid but I don't really remember that feeling. Other than that ... I don't know if I ever had something.
Anno
Oh Yukino's mom is being a stick-in-the-mud. Trying to can the prom plans.
Yuu
Oh I see they're getting stuck in red tape now
Anno
Yeah her mom seems to be a bit of a queen bitch kind of person. She's acting like she's sticking up for the unvocal minority in order to add gravitas to her own desires. I can see why both Yukino and her sister really don't like their mother. And why they've both kind personality issues. Er both kind of got personality issues. With a manipulative lady like that as your mother you probably develop some cunning to get around her strictness.
Anno
Well Hikki's not entirely incorrect. It is kind of the thing you wouldn't expect someone to say themselves.
Anno
>Will learn to be independent and become an adult That's an awfully narrow look of the world. Assuming you have to be entirely independent to be an adult. Even as adults you have to rely on people all the time.
Yuu
Yeah, this show is really teenage in its view of the world too
Anno
I dunno, I think there's definitely adults that think that way. Yukino's sister only thinks you have to be perfectly independent to be an adult because of her family situation. And seeing how their mother acts I don't think it's a conclusion she arrived at herself.
But even in real life I think there's adults that still keep a "teenage" view of the world like that. In the end there's just a lot of different people out there in the world.
Anno
That's a pretty dramatic set up for next episode. But we're not even halfway into the season!
Yuu
Yeah. This show is always so dramatic high school drama
okay well that's all we got thanks for anime
Anno
Yeah, I guess that's all for tonight. Enjoy your weekend, Rika Don't be a stranger.
