Hi hey hello Happy Thursday! We're almost at the weekend

-- Erai-raws Adachi to Shimamura Akudama Drive Burn the Witch Episode 1-3 Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou Arui wa Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen Munou na Nana
-- HorribleSubs Ahiru no Sora Black Clover Episode 143-146
-- Team Confidence Great Pretender
Anno
Two new shows today Adachi to Shimamura is a yuri romance drama I believe, an adaptation of an LN Akudama Drive is some kind of sci-fi action featuring shady criminal operations and character designs by the illustrator for the Dangan Ronpa series.
okay kami-tachi yup i'm completely blind on it okay let's start
Anno
I don't really know too much about this one. I think it's got some cute characters in it and it's a happy-go-lucky reincarnation isekai.
Anno
That is a lot of slimes.
Hey wait a minute those are Caterpie
Anno
>Poisonous slimes are the slimes that ate poisonous herbs and survived Doesn't that imply he's just fed slimes poisonous stuff and acknowledges some didn't survive? That's a bit macabre for a kid.
Anno
Why is he talking like a caveman. He seems more intelligent than that.
Lots of slimes in this also the knight uniforms are boring
Anno
I think the uniforms are pretty practical though. They'd make good adventuring gear. Looks like there's hoods and long cloaks like those are nice makeshift blankets when you're camping out in the woods.
Anno
>This crystal shines red if the person is a criminal That feels ... concerning. What exactly makes someone a criminal that a crystal can distinguish them.
Anno
So the MC's bascially just a formidable housekeeper and can also stand just about any kind of mental or physical pain. That's a weird assortment of sklls.
>>881210 Yeah I guess those stats didn't show up when he got crystal scanned earlier. Maybe in the three years he spent here he grinded out his housekeeping skills tending to the slimes.
Anno
I wonder if he spends the series as a young boy the entire time. Kinda has a bit of a shotacon vibe so far.
Wow that went south fast. I guess dropped money really is bad luck.
Anno
There's actually quite a few anime original series airing this season. This, the show with the magical fighter pilot girls, Maeda Jun's show that's airing this weekend, Assault Lily is a multimedia franchise but the anime is the first media so it's kind of an original. Plus a couple other things that haven't aired yet or aren't really things we'd watch.
Anno
They're really rolling out some style for these scene transitions.
Anno
These are some really Dangan Ronpa-y characters though hah hah They're all complete lunatics with one thing they do extremely well.
They're characters designed by the same illustrator, so it's par the course. But they are extremely Dangan Ronpa-poi.
Anno
Hah hah hah These people that are being called Akudama might be a bit weird in the head. But this plain girl is a bit dumb in her own right. No sense of situational awareness.
Anno
Wow she's gonna try and bluff them. That's pretty ballsy of her.
Anno
I like the musclehead guy. He sees a big armed tank and just just psyched to fight it
Yeah I was going into this relatively blind. Pretty much all I knew was it was kinda hi-tech and had character designs by the Dangan Ronpa illustrator. It was pretty action-packed and engaging.
Anno
>Episode one: SE7EN >Episode two: Reservoir Dogs I'm already seeing a pattern here hah hah
That was pretty interesting okay munou okay lets start
Anno
Reaaaady
Anno
For an "elite academy" it sure kinda looks like an old-fashioned Japanese schoolhouse. Couldn't they find a better campus for such an academy.
Anno
Histalent is to turn the whole room blue!
Anno
Being able to read minds but not read the atmosphere kinda makes sense. If you spend a lot of time reading minds you probably approach conversation a bit differently from someone who can't.
Getting an assigned seat next to the mind reader is bad luck
Anno
The MC seems like a bad luck magnet to begin with. He's got no apparent talent in this class full of superhumans. Though I did spy a scar/scratch on his neck in an earlier close-up. So he's got some kind of history.
Anno
Also the lead heroine is Nana but the MC is Nanao. And the series is "Munou na Nana" What's with the obsession with Nana.
His entire class is trouble! He kinda reminds me a bit of Deku before All Might gave him One For All.
Anno
She -is- really bad with social decency hah hah. Just reading minds without permission. Inexplicably following people around. Interrupting the teacher.
It's probably easy to be like that with her power the way it is
Anno
Yeah. From the sound of it she can't turn off the base state of it. So she probably has like a constant static noise of the people around her thinking. She's probably, in a sense, deaf to the atmosphere around her because of that constant droning.
Anno
Really, pretty much everything on this island looks either old-fashioned or run down. Doesn't fit the "elite academy" they called it at the start.
Anno
He's quite the expressive guy though. That glare he was giving her there was pretty different from the rest of his expressions.
Looks like he may be oh yeah there it is the strongest "weakest" power
Anno
Yeah, pretty much. He must have some pretty good self-control though. Like he seemed pretty pissed off by her reading his mind earlier. I think a more short-tempered person would've turned off her mind-reading.
Oh unless that was him saying earlier he can't neutralize her mind-reading.
well that may be the route of the obsession with her
Anno
I guess she's super genius who's come to this island to take care of all these mutants. She was really playing up the psychological cold-reading game with the boy there at the end.
Anno
Man wow. For most of the episode I was thinking "well this is cute and kinda fun". But holy fuck that absolute pivot and pirouette off the deep end at the end there.
This shot up super fast with how interested I am in seeing the next episode hah hah
They used the OP for the original as the ED for ep 1 I wonder what they are going to do with OP/ED
okay we're both orange let's start
Anno
There's at least a new OP I confess to going and listening to it before watching this episode hah hah
Anno
Okay thanks Internet for hiccuping me there
Anno
I've actually been really excited to watch this episode. Because I've been seeing some chatter about the series. And it's very likely this isn't just a remake. And it's a new set of story arcs.
Anno
This sounds more like a Steins;Gate OP than a Higurashi OP in my opinion.
Anno
It was true way back in the original and it's still true now. Keiichi had every right to be scared shitless by a girl raising a cleaver like that behind his back.
Anno
>Tell Satoko her mom and dad are at the school gate Keiichi ...
Anno
Mion always knows how to play her own games to come out on top.
Anno
That sure is a tough plank of wood.
Huh, so Keiichi is remembering things too.
Anno
I feel they could've at least left the head of the Sanders statue open. Hauling around a body-shaped thing in a tarp is kinda sketchy.
i can't remember if the scene where she pats him is there in the original or not but she knows
Anno
Yeah, I wonder how they're gonna twist this story arc. Aside from the things showing Keiichi remembering the baseball bat, and Rika talking with Hanyuu, it's mostly been in line with the original Onikakushi arc. So there's got to be something that will shake things up.
Oh yeah I have a good excuse to post this every week now.
Anno
These are some really good illustrations for the ED.
Anno
Oh I see. In the VN and the original anime adaptation, the first chapter was Onikakushi. But for this anime, the chapter is Onidamashi. Close enough in name to maintain the similarity, but clearly different. That name even lampshades it, translating to English as "Demon-Deceiving"
