I picked up the Rune Factory 4 port for the Switch the other day and I've been playing whenever I've got some free space at home. It's as fun a game as I remember it being. Thought the 3DS-era graphics might be a bit of a turn-off but turns out they don't look all that bad once you get out of the 3DS' 240p resolution hah hah
Anno
Enen no Shouboutai Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko Episode 4-8 Kamisama ni Natta Hi Episode 5-6 Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou, Arui wa Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai Episode 3-8
--Team Confidence Great Pretender Episode 16-18
As a note, for Kimi to Boku and Kuma Bear that came out today, I'm not seeing Erai releases for either, so keep that in mind if you want to watch them tonight.
Yuu
i GOT THEM.
i THINK WE oh caps
I think we can p[robably do just 4 tonight, can't we?
enen kami love live 3 kuma kuma
we'll wait
kami should be kimi, shouldn't it and we'll put kami in if bang appears
Anno
If we can do five tomorrow then four today will keep the list at +/-0 for the week. It might seem deceptively small but even setting aside Great Pretender (which I do want to get back to), we're still watching like 23 shows a week!
That said though we've been knocking away at all the stuff built up so it doesn't really matter if we go a week where we end up adding to the backlog.
Yuu
how many eps of great pretender are we behind on it's a pain to get because it doesn't appear on lists have to torrent it
enen okay lets start
Anno
They're all listed up there in my list! Surely it's not that hard to count how many episodes there are contained in 16-18
Yuu
oh good we get to see what hpapens
Anno
You'd think someone with as insane pyrokinetic powers as him would have some kind of resistance to his own explosions. Shinra doesn't get his feet burnt up with his hotfeet after all.
Oh but he's pretty battered up. Looks like that fight cost him an arm and a leg.
Anno
>Telling a girl she made you a man Okay
Anno
Their lieutenant always has this deer-in-the-headlights look going on.
Yuu
>>897597 Side characters usually have to pay a lot to win fights.
Anno
Oh we get a returning villain. I thought that was the last we'd see of the plague doctory guy.
Yuu
This guy has a pretty strong set of powers.
Anno
>This body has an increased affinity for insects Ew no
Anno
Aaaaaaaahhhh I really don't like this This is some seriously real mad doctor shit
Anno
Sasuga Arthur you absolute doofus
Anno
In most of the fights recently Shinra and Arthur have been separated. It's fun to see them get to tag-team an enemy again.
Yuu
squads are always infighting
Anno
Well this is between the army and the fire fighters, this squabble between the Lieutenant and Maki's brother. He seems a bit of an overprotective pain the ass really. Maki's shown herself as more than competent.
Anno
A surprisingly clean takedown of the hard guy. I guess these White-Clad people down here in the tunnels are rejects of the serious ones we've been seeing so far.
Anno
Obi fight time! It's always great when he gets a chance to shine since it's the ol' non-powered combatant versus powered one trope.
Anno
Though that fight didn't last long hah hah These White-Clads really are mooks compared to the other ones.
Anno
The Nether is basically the subway tunnels of pre-apocalypse Tokyo in this story. I suppose if you were to indescriminately destroy foundational supports throughout the tunnels you could cause catastrophic damage to the city above.
Yuu
okay kimi whatever okay lets start
Anno
For a show all about a war they really spend more time going on dates and flirting than actually fighting.
Anno
So the magic kingdom has an entire city of prisons. Does that make it Magic Australia
Anno
Don't like how this other lady used them as cover to break into the prison to break out that guy and is still keeping them in the dark. The non-magic Empire side of this war seems to regularly use shady tactics and overall kinda act like dicks.
Yuu
thingsare going well between them now
Anno
Yeah but now she has to go and fight a demon Hopefully Iska can persuade the meido to help him get to her so they can fight together.
Oh the new witch girl is playing some good bait.
Anno
Ah ow that's got to hurt.
Anno
Oh hah hah he doesn't even need to get the meido to help. Alice just hid the key for him. What a nice girlfriend.
Yuu
>please escape >they both just jump out the car and stand there
Anno
They escaped the car at least!
Yuu
yeah I guess it was a context thing I think the maid will lose this one terribly.
Anno
She's been pretty competent so far but yeah, this guy is probably on another level. Even just Alice will probably have a hard time with him. It'll probably take the tag-team of Iska and her to win.
Yuu
She's going to job hard
Anno
From the sound of it before he got locked up he was going around beating magic users and stealing their magic. So he's probably got all the elements opposed to just one like the meido. And it also sounds like he was picking up high-level magic too.
Oh Iska was the one that got to save her. Maybe this will better her opinion of him.
Yuu
okay love live ep 3 okay lets start
Anno
Time for aidoru activities!
Anno
Gotta reignite the president's love for being a sukuuru aidoru to recruit her.
I wonder where that pink girl is going to get the tech she's wearing for the live performances. She's got like a face-screen that has a face to emote with. It's pretty high tech compared to the piece of paper with a face on it she seems to use in normal circumstances.
Anno
Wow don't swing the net that harshly around a kitten like that. You're going to hurt it!
Anno
Huh, would be interesting if it's the self-insert MC character is the composer for the songs this time around.
Wow hah hah she's become a complete aidoru maniac. To think it's probably only been maybe a month or two tops since she got introduced to school idols.
Anno
>To win, all the girls have to become one colour I guess bucking that belief is why this Love Live is Niji (rainbow)
Probably a somewhat unnecessary metaphor for learning how to perform in synch and coordination with each other.
Anno
The eyes in this Love Live are really pretty. I like the off-colour highlights they have in them.
Yuu
The crew is getting pretty big its starting to look like love live
Anno
Yeah, they threw a lot of girls into the conversation pretty quickly. Though it makes sense since all these girls were in the School Idol Club before it got disbanded and it only did because they fell below the requisite five members. So it's not like any of them would want to stop participating.
Anno
Where does Kasumi keep getting these sandwiches. She seems to keep a lot for bribing people with.
Anno
It's still cool that their high school is Big Sight. Those pillars and bit sitting on top of them are really distinct.
Anno
Gaaaaaaaayy
Anno
She really melted fast to the self-insert MC's charisma.
This girl's music seems to have a real pop rock vibe to it. Her song from the first episode also fit into that genre too.
Anno
Gaaaaaaaayy
Anno
The illustrations for thie -this ED have a really nice simple style.
Anno
They've still got to recruit that blonde girl and the pink one. And I don't think that Onee-san girl is actually a part of the club yet she just got recruited by the members to bully the student council president about being their old aidoru buddy.
Yuu
Yeah, I actually like this one better than number 2.
kuma kuma yeah I think they're sticking to what they do well with it oaky lets start
Anno
I think it's based off one of the more recent if not most recent Love Live mobage. So it's a bit surprising the story is actually decently polished.
Anno
I can bear-ly contain my excitement.
Anno
Well that's kind of a tonal shift.
Anno
I haven't had a good pizza in a while. My work bought it for the staff since there was a big event last Thursday but it kinda the standard pizza that people get to not be offensive to anyone. I want a nice pizza the way I like it!
Anno
She really can't go anywhere without anyone doing a double-take at her outfit.
Anno
Yuna really attracts little girls like flies.
Yuu
Yeah She's kinda got a harem going
Anno
No harem! Fan club!
Anno
Oh they kinda made it seem like he got executed at the start of this episode. But looks like the axe swing might've just taken off that right arm of his.
I guess he's also got some pretty high-level magic if he can spectral project like that.
Anno
Wow is she just going to slaughter that guy's entire army. Hah hah and after that big speech he made about having an army. He won't even have one before long!
Yuu
Yeah, she's so strong
Anno
Just goes to show that revenge ain't shit but a waste of time. Because no matter how hard you try a girl dressed in a bear onesie will just come by and crush your hopes.
Yuu
she's going to stash all the monster corpses in her item back bag that's so sweird
Anno
I kinda thought they were going to be setting up a big end of series arc with this guy and his monster army, hah hah But Yuna really just absolutely canned that plotline.
Anno
>>897676 Item bags also don't normally have like a time stasis or anything either hah hah Though I think hers does. Imagine if you just went around with like hundreds of goblin corpses rotting in your hammerspace.
Yuu
Looks like she accidentally saved the day
Anno
Well that much was obvious as it was happening! She was still doing a good deed though, helping clear the way so the duke could safely arrive at the capital. It just happened that the good deed ended up being more than she intended it to be.
