Seriously though Rika, stuff is going to pile up at this rate hah hah The season's not -that- dead.
Yuu
Yeah...
I messed up.
Anno
Have you considered setting a notification or even alarm for yourself? Back when my sleep schedule was -really- out of whack I was setting alarms for myself when I knew I'd be dozing off before midnight. It didn't always work out but it did help with getting me back to the computer some times.
Anno
Ahiru no Sora (No 720p) Appare-Ranman Black Clover Fruits Basket Episode 20-21 Gibiate Episode 5-6 Houkago Teibou Nisshi Koi to Producer Episode 5-6 The God of High School To aru Kagaku no Railgun Episode 18-20 Uzaki-san wa Asobitai!
Yuu
well we can chip it away a bit at a time the good news is lots of good stuff
appare high school uzaki fruits
Anno
Plus if we really wanted to we could skip over some Black Clover episodes since they're all filler for the next while anyway. I keep tabs on /a/ so they'll probably be abuzz once the actual plot starts up again.
Yuu
that's actually a pretty good idea, we won't miss anything
appare okay lets start
Anno
is uzaki actually good or is it a trick
Anno
RACE >>869070 Short answer, yes. It's a cute SoL with two MCs that are pretty much dating in all but name. The author has an obvious type of girl he prefers but the characters are still all nice.
I like the lead-in for this OP It works really well for those bite-sized recaps at the top of the episode into the actual OP.
Anno
Somehow I don't think putting the samurai behind the wheel is a good idea. But I guess the kid's too small to control the car and Appare's out. Oh but he woke up. Guess that fixes it.
Anno
First proper casualties of the race, eh. More bandits too.
I still don't trust this scar guy. Sure is convenient that he's the only survivor of this pack of victims.
Yuu
You can't trust anyone in a race like this but i bet his closest allies won't betray him
Anno
Yeah, that's the feelings I'm getting too. This little gang they've put together will probably remain allies for the race.
I think that stoic cowboy racer will end up doing some good though. And the hip hop kinda guy is probably not as much of an asshole as his attitude leads on.
Anno
Appare's such a nerd. Thinking he can take on a bunch of outlaws with brains alone.
Yuu
Anime characters can sometimes win with brains alone but only the protagonist
Anno
>Do you remember the number of breads you've eaten?
Anno
Kosame's really going to have to get over his sword PTSD before long. It's not really befitting a samurai.
Anno
The fuck was with that guy though. Who just runs up to a lady in the middle of the night and cut her down, and just run away after.
Anno
Come on Kosame Nobunaga stylized the image of a samurai fighting with both sword and rifle. Don't pass up the chance to rock it.
Anno
Cowboy versus samurai!
Yuu
Samurai will win because anime is the home field advantage
Anno
Yeah the notion of a katana being able to cut through a revolver is pretty silly hah hah.
Anno
Still it's cool to finally see him in action. He's got some sharp moves and is pretty agile.
Yuu
Kinda how it always goes.
Anno
Like regardless that's pretty fucking kakkoii
Yuu
Oh he actia;;y cit ho, tpp/ oh he actually cut him too
Anno
Full on stylish finishing move too.
Anno
Looks like the real Gil is still somewhere out there though.
Anno
They really don't keep their surprise reveals in their pocket for long in this show. Though I guess it's already 2/3rds over so amping up for a climax isn't really weird.
Yuu
high school okay lets start
Anno
Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Anno
Korean names are a bit of an adaptation for me. It's surprising how distinct they are from Japanese and Chinese names considering the close cultural history they have.
Yuu
Korean names sound a lot more normal to me than Chinese names. Chinese names are weird.
Anno
Well Chinese names are an adaptation for me too. I see a decent amount of various Asian names in daily life living here though. But when it comes to anime I'm expecting Japanese names or Western-y names so Korean and Chinese are a bit weird. Chinese less so though since China tends to cameo more often in Japanese anime.
Anno
>The media have been calling it an attack from the North [Korea] That's a neat thing that they can do with this taking place in Korea though.
Anno
This author is a real martial arts nerd though, and it shows. Each participant seems to use a unique style and they seem to be familiar with even minor or older styles that don't see a lot of modern-day practice.
Yuu
Yeah, I think this is well made.
Anno
MC's granddad just carrying him around while fighting bad guys and doing deliveries.
Anno
Sharkboy makes his return.
Yuu
wow scary red robe
Anno
Yeah these cultists sure are cult-y. I guess judging from what the tournament employees are talking about though a cult might have a well-grounded reason for wanting to destroy it.
Anno
What good friends he's made. His apartment is a really comfy location though. It would be nice to live somewhere like that.
Yuu
It went from cult to comfy fast.
Anno
Then back to dire. I wonder if whoever's kidnapped his granddad is gonna make him choose between the tournament or his granddad. If he doesn't fight in the tournament I feel it's a given win to the team they're up against. Since Daewi is disqualified and they probably wouldn't let Mira fight more than one opponent.
Yuu
uzaki okay lets start
Anno
SUGOI DEKAI
Anno
Wow gosh
Anno
Poor Uzaki. I guess Sempai is also a bit dense too though.
Yuu
Senpai is usually very dense in these kinds of shows.
Anno
This is really nice. Petting cats is a soothing experience. I haven't seen my cat in a while.
Anno
Twenty is a big birthdate in Japan! It's when you're legally considered an adult there, and so when you can legally drink and engage in other mature activities.
Could you imagine this girl drinking though.
Yuu
Wow they're making the staff mad.
Anno
Kinda reminds me of when they went glasses shopping for him earlier in the series. Though they didn't get thrown out of the glasses shop. They're not very good at keeping their weird activities on the down-low when out in public.
Anno
This is a super-perceptive family. Too bad they've sworn to use their powers for mischief and not assistance.
Anno
Both Sempai and Uzaki have little tagnames under their contact info for each other. Uzaki calls him "gloomy" and he calls her "baka".
Yuu
He should be pretty happy to go to a pub with her that's a legitimate date
Anno
Oh she's just going straight for the pub right as she turns twenty.
These kinds of Japanese pubs are really great too though. They're comfy and serve some great food. There's one downtown that I used to go to a lot before the pandemic shut everything down. They've re-opened since then but I haven't heard from my friend that I would go with.
Anno
I'm definitely more for mixed drinks than beer honestly. He's not wrong that the salty/fried food izakaya serve tends to harmonize real well with beer though.
Yuu
She's killing his wallet now, I guess he shouldn't be completely happy.
Anno
They got reprimanded again though. These two really can't go anywhere without being rowdy and making trouble.
Oh yuzu liquor is pretty nice though. It's really expensive because of import prices here so I don't really get to drink it.
Anno
Ah she's a dangerous drunk. It's a good thing these two are so close otherwise she'd be in a bit of a problematic situation. But I guess she's right to trust him.
Yuu
Looks like she planned this out
Anno
I'm not positive she really planned it out. After all she'd never been drinking before, so it's not like she could've expected herself to be this way. But I do think she trusted he'd do the right thing in a problematic situation.
Yuu
She knows what she's doing.
Anno
She was totally hammered I don't think she did at all!
Anno
In her defense the harsher hangovers I've had in the past have turned me off drinking for a while after them. Long time since those though.
Yuu
Yeah I think everyone has had those.
Yuu
okay fruits okay let's start!
Anno
This does kinda make me want to go and get drinks with friends though hah hah I've been a bit socially-deprived this past week or two so I'm probably just jumping on anything that makes me feel would satisfy that need.
Yuu
>>869163 I think we all want to do that after all this being cooped up due to coronavirus.
Anno
Also episode twenty of this! I think.
>>869167 Yeah. I didn't really get a lot of social activity before Covid-19 hit but what sparse amount I did get has pretty much all dried up. I'm sufficiently introverted that I don't need a lot of social activity to keep level but I do need a bit. I've lasted most of this pandemic keeping sane but by now I definitely think my head's starting to go a bit.
Anno
Apparently I might've totally forgotten a large chunk of this series. And there might be more content left than what can fit into the remaining four or five episodes of this season. So there might actually be a season three some time down the line to finish the story.
Anno
Also I wonder what Machi's problem is. She keeps wrecking the student council office and seems really freaked out. Obviously something's haunting a corner of her head.
Yuu
She's always pretty weird.
Anno
I guess it probably has something to do with their family situation. Yeah she's probably been made a bit of a tool of her mom in this family war over her dad's finances.
Anno
I like Yuki's vice-president a lot. He's a good character, especially when contrasted against the stiff and cowardly Yuki.
Yuu
I don't like the blue and blue uniform though I guess it's between food and purple
Anno
Without anything else is kinda looks like pyjamas, hah hah His vice makes it look better with the cardigan he puts on over it.
Anno
The girls' version looks better since more of it is white highlights at least.
Yuu
Yeah, the girls version looks fine. The cardigans go a long way with this uniform too.
Anno
Yuki's sweater helps too. Honestly I think they could've just picked a better colour to make matching shirt and pants with. Or not have them match in the first place.
Anno
Hah hah hah Kyo gets to be the prince for Cinderella. Too bad Tohru doesn't get to be his Cinderella.
Anno
Tohru probably doesn't have an evil bone in her body. She couldn't act a villain even if she tried.
Now these three stoogesses though.
Yuu
Sometimes mismatching a villain role to somebody is funny.
Anno
The cartoon eyeballs in the darkness there were a good touch.
Ah oh no This is totally gonna dredge up his trauma with Akito.
Anno
Well I guess not. Since someone came to his rescue early enough.
Yuu
The play will be nice
Anno
I suspect that'll be the season climax for this season. And then we wait for season three.
Anno
A lot of the outfits in this ED are super cute. Kisa's probably my favourite of them, but there's a lot of great ones in it.
Yuu
This was a pretty good episode thanks for anime i'll make sure to be alive tomorrow
Anno
Yup yup, thanks! A lot of good stuff for tonight too. Good luck with tomorrow
