Anno
Also I kinda get the feeling Bang forgot about watching Kamisama ni Natta Hi If you want to get to watching it, we can probably go on without him.
It would be a bit easier for me if we did either Ikebukuro or Senyoku first Need a bit more time to get Assault Lily
Okay, ready when you are
Anno
I miss having actual Internet speed My speeds cap out around 1.4MiB/s here It's probably fine enough for most people but I'm used to speed!
Anno
By my understanding this kind of thing is what caused the decline of colour gangs in Ikebukuro from their high point in the past. The gang feuds got too heated and carried away, causing injury even to normal people unrelated to the gangs. So both the law enforcement and Yakuza stepped in to tell them to "chill out"
I wonder how often stuff like this has repeated in Tokyo's modern history. Yakuza fighting proxy wars for control over territory using independent gangs like these kids.
Anno
I'd say this show hasn't quite vilified the Yakuza but they have been mostly avoiding the cool romanticism you get of the Yakuza in Japanese fiction. Like there's the big bad Yakuza group from outside Tokyo that's behind all this, but they've not really talked about the Yakuza that's already staked out Ikebukuro they're presumably fighting with. In reality they're probably not much better on a moral level, but no attention has been given to them.
Poor girl Even if she was angry that's probably the kind of thing that's really going to fuck her up. No one should have to inflict that kind of injury at that young an age.
King did always have a strong sense of justice. He's lucky all she had was a small knife at least.
Anno
And that she was too short to reach the particularly critical organs.
Anno
I wonder if that guy right at the end there was like, the actor who played the MC in the live-action drama of this series. I could see them sneaking in an easter egg like that.
The silent credit roll at the start of the Erai release of this always messes with me. I keep thinking my audio is broke
Anno
>If you've got no one else, how about I be your Schutzengel Is that the gay version of "Well if you don't have anyone, I could let you be my girlfriend"
Anno
Yuyu seems to still be hallucinating her onee-sama everywhere It vanished for a while in the middle of
Anno
the series after she had her problems kinda resolved from partnering up with Riri But I guess she's still kind of messed in the head.
yeah This should be the end of series drama we're going int into
Anno
This series has a few too many characters for its length. There's a lot of cute girls and they seem pretty interesting. But it was probably impossible to have a chance to spotlight them all while maintaining a semblence of a plot
Anno
It kinda seems like Yuyu's onee-sama was a bit crazy in the head And might've used her death to imprint herself on the monsters.
Also Yuyu in the halfway state between her normal mode and berserker mode is a pretty nice look.
Reaaaady I hope we get some good dogfight action for the final battle here
Anno
Though I guess there's still another episode after this for the final finale.
Anno
A properly ojii-san Odin is better than the shota Odin honestly.
Anno
Oh an insert song Nice
Anno
All the girl pilots have their own cheersquad of supporting male pilots hah hah I wonder if this represents something for a game in this multimedia franchise or something.
Sonoka's had some pretty nice character development throughout the series She started off kinda shy and then went full baby after that older pilot flew the suicide mission But now she's gotten pretty confident and showing off some of the same bluster her Aneue did
Well you know what they say Cleanliness is next to godliness
Anno
I don't think there's anything wrong with a kid getting spoiled Even if maybe he's not really a kid mentally, everyone's going to assume he's a kid because, well. He should really just enjoy his time with this family that's so kindly taken him under their wing.
Anno
Yeah, the mom's making the same point There's nothing wrong with letting a kid be a kid!
Anno
Some people are just very good at bullying people with kindness.
Anno
Oh yeah that's a pretty bird
Anno
Meido aidoru!
Anno
Of all businesses to start in an isekai, a laundry one sure is ... mundane. But I guess if there's a demand
Oh well this a good lesson that I guess his dumb brain needs being taught It isn't relying on people if it's between friends. Nothing wrong with friends helping out friends.
Anno
Wow gods sure are lucky They can just pop in between worlds whenever they're bored and check out the entertainment there.
Anno
Yeah when the god mentioned that it kinda made sense. Even if he's got the memories of his adult life he's probably got the hormones and brain development of a younger boy. Which probably changes how he can really think about things a fair bit.
I think being at risk of their livelihood getting cancelled is definitely a crisis!
Though realistically I don't think it's feasible their ratings could ever hit 0% though Like the number of people that would have to rate it poorly versus just a few that need to give it favourable ratings would be an absolute statistical unlikelihood
Anno
>0% ratings aren't all that unlikely for late-night shows Maybe I'm wrong and don't know Japanese television culture though.
Anno
The MC in this series has a real thirst for cute girls.
Anno
>Late-night programs can't survive without sponsors We saw a similar thing in that show about the lady who became a late-night radio host. Her manager needed her to get a sponsor for their show before they could put the show on.
It's a bit weird that they didn't already know about them being in a gacha though You'd think they'd be asked for permission first, or at least notified of their addition to it.
Anno
These kinds of video clips would totally have a demand!
