higurashi
muinou nana
kuma kuma

yup that's me
I'm the order

More like the ordered

okay
jujutsu
okay
lets start

Magicks be gone

Oh this OST is pretty good

Ah shit
I just got the joke
Nanami -> Nana Mi -> 7 3
And his power allows him to do more damage the closer to a ratio of 7:3 he hits

They're really rolling out the animation for this

Good animation this episode

This is two-cour but I guess they still want to have a cour-ending climax here

Wow lewd

Oh there was an OP anyway
Half expected them to skip it

Oh this doesn't bode well for glasses.

I guess this guy wants to get a bit handsy

Man what kind of guy would want to retire from being a sorceror to be a salesperson salaryman

Bakery-chan is pretty cute

He's throwing down death flags

Too bad the MC is too hardcore for conventional rules

Oh, that's an interesting catch 22.
He involuntarily touched something bad because his domain touches everything.

Yeah, Itadori unintentionally provoked Sukuna's warning he gave when Handsy tried touching Sukuna that first time

Hah hah he just popped like a balloon
I guess it was an intentional distraction though.

I really thought glasses was gonna die.

Well it's nice of the series to flaunt tropes like that.
Nanamin has been a pretty good character so far so it's nice he's sticking around.

I think he's underestimating how littke sukuna cares about his agenda

Hm, to me it feels more like he knows if Sukuna can get to full power, Sukuna would have such a massive effect on the world that a world of curses would inevitably come.

So the other boy is dead proper then?
That's kind of a downer.
The OP seemed to hint he'd join the Jujutsu school but I guess that was them baiting us.
For all this series' flaunting of tropes it's not afraid to pull -to not pull punches either.

Oh yeah everyone still thinks Itadori is dead.

yeah
gochi!
okay
lets staryt

Now we just need Tony
>>905986
Like I said
You just gotta go outside and roll in the snow and then nothing will feel cold again
>>905986
A little bit of snow-rolling isn't going to kill nobody

I've bee n here just chillin
because I'm cold
loading
ok
>>905985
yeah cuz I'll be fuckin dead
ready

Cocoa's really gotten good at magic, eh

is she actually a wizared

girl's gonna level up from oneechan to mom

Is that like one of those really shovelware-y mobage

the kind that get the ads I like to cap on my phone

Cocoa-mom just wants to bully her daughters

>Surprise pan service
But what about surprise fan service

I like her sister.
I guess it really is a last episode if we got to see Cocoa's family.

DOYA

extremely powerful

BLACK HISTORY

Well that's a very unsurprising twist

unmei

I feel like putting a ring into a slice of pie is a swallowing hazard
But maybe it's better if you know it's there.

CHINOCHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

how are we going to afford the dental bills

gochiusa final episodes always try to be upbeat but are bittersweet

Chino is like the ultra straight man
She's the one that has to tsukkomi everyone's boke

She's also bound to the soil of her hometown eternally

Just dig some soil up and take it with her then

Carry her around in a pot for a plant

>>906004
the sting of parting

>>906004
Which is impressive in its own right since it's based off a regularly serialized series.
It's not like its adapting an ending or anything.

Sounds like we might have our OVA or next movie material though
A travel trip with the cast to the big city!

Oh no dogpile

seven cracked ribs

Tony you're like the only person who has seven ribs

seven hundred ribs

I can feel the joy trying to hemorrhage its way out of my body from being too full

You might want to go to the doctor in that case.

Oh no fade to white
I guess Cocoa died from happiness from hearing Chino say that.

If the blood on my floor is any indication she's not alone help

I told you that you might want to go to the doctor

okay
higurashi
okay
lets start

thank you for the anime
I'm going to go to bed and get vaccinated in the morning.
yee haw

oh tilde you should consider granting me some gacha luck a husbando of mine gets an alt in 4 hours

Only if you promise me not to whale if you don't get it easily

>>906022
I guess that's an advantage of working in a hospital during a pandemic.

>>906025
Well okay, best of luck with your gacha

You got it fam
I have to save my whaling for Kama.
>>906024
Yeah
good nii

Oh we're not getting an OP this episode
Things really must be about to pop

Such feckless suits

Ooishi always kinda acts like a dick but he's really playing the villain this arc.
Like full on Lawful Asshole on the morality grid.

He's usually playing an angle though.
I wonder what he's playing at this time.

Yeah, that's on my mind too.
I can't really figure it out either.

Yeah here's Ooishi showing he's not the bad person he's playing to Keiichi and the rest.

Man the Sonozaki clan really has wide roots
A councillor, a lawyer.
The actual family's pretty much a Yakuza group too.

I suspect Ooishi's been chasing Satoko's uncle for something
Since he's the kind of man who'd totally be committing petting crime all the time.

I've got a really bad feeling about this
Satoko definitely didn't want to go to the clinic because she didn't want something about her body being discovered.
I guess the simplest answer is just standard abuse marks.
But I worry her uncle was an even more horrible man than that.

wow
I think this is gonna end badly one way or another though

Ah well
What
Hah hah hah
I guess one way or another, Keiichi kills Teppei this arc.

Well that escalated quickly

When the bat first swung I thought it was Satoko.
Or when he turned on the light he'd see all his friends dead.

Ahhhh
Was that not actually Satoko's uncle
Was it Ooishi
Ah nevermind.
What happened to make Ooishi go crazy though.
He's normally removed enough from Hinamizawa to not get the virus.

Yeah, I guess it was him that got it that time

well this is about what I expected
they ALMOST made it

>Neko-damashi-hen
I don't remember a cat-related arc from the original Higurashi arcs.
Yeah no, there's no Neko-something arc in the original arcs.
So this one should be totally new stuff.

>>906040
Well there's no way they'd hit a resolution halfway through the show.
This definitely feels like the closest they've come to a win though.

My guess is Takano got to Ooishi, since I think she's got access to administerable virus doses though.
And maybe since he was berserk that's why Satoko's uncle was able to get free and return to the house.

i did think Takane being present was a bad omen

okay
nana
okay
lets start

I'm excited to see how this wraps up for the season.
I might go find the manga at some point and read it because it's been a lot of fun so far.

Oh wow
Michiru was able to pinpoint a detail even the Tensai Nana overlooked
Though I mean she was pretty traumatized from the deaths of her parents at the time
I can understand how she overlooked the detail.

It's kind of sweet and all
But she is now, what, six or seven corpses into an assassination spree?
I wonder if Michiru could forgive her for that.

Yeah, seems like she's lost herself a bit.

It's pretty clear to the viewer that it's this green-haired girl
But I guess Kyoya is right, we don't have a motive.

Nana's really imprinted hard on Michiru
I guess all that ferociousness she's got can get turned into love.

I wonder if killer #2 is going to get Michiru
and if Nana is gonna get blamed for it

At the least the killer's been trying to get Michiru for a while
That green-haired girl tried to "relieve" Nana of her watch over Michiru last episode.

Oh maybe it's not the green-haired girl.
She's been acting suspicious herself though.

oh wow
nana

Yeah that's a nasty stab
Ah that's a good point.
We clearly saw this guy's power last episode.

She has to play a dangerous card here though
Revealing she only now knows it was him kinda discredits that she can read minds.

I wonder what Nana's plan is here
I guess she can't really go all out to kill him until Michiru leaves
she can't reveal that she poisons people

She's breaking Michiru's heart to save her.
I guess that's a very Nana-y thing to do.
I wonder if she let Kyoya know about him.

Michiru has to be kinda stupid to believe that given the circumstances

She seems kind of booksmart but yeah, I think she's a bit dumb otherwise.
Or rather she trusts people too easily.
So she fully trusts that Nana was being honest about hating her there.

>When you find Inukai, don't be a hero
Too late for that Kyoya.

Looks like it was Michiru that was the hero in the end

I wonder if it'll burn through her lifeforce though
That'll be kind of depressing.

;_;

looks like yup

Well that's, well
Man.
That kinda just sucks the soul right out of you

Being Nana really is suffering

Well, it's nothing Nana didn't do to other people
kuma

I think it will be a good crisis of faith for nana, maybe she'll be less evil now

okay
lets start

She's still just a kid!
One who had to live with false guilt of her parents' deaths and was indoctrinated to hate the Talented to the point of killing them.
And was deceived into thinking her mission had some kind of moral righteousness to it.
I'm pretty sure that man with the boot probably set this whole thing up as a long plan to make her the way she was.

The entire thing has just been more and more of a tragedy as the show went on.
And this episode was kind of an event horizon of it.

Yuna just wants to eat her Japanese food

Sasuga Yuna

She wants a trip just her and Yuna, eh
That girl really likes her.

Poor Fina

Oh no she's starting to hallucinate

This is a kind of good way of showing how selfish a person Yuna is from outside her perspective though.
She kinda just runs around doing what she wants and doesn't have a good knack for sensing other people's emotions.

Was this one only one cour?

Yeah, this should be the last episode.

This is one that feels like it could go longer
but it really hasn't done much in 12 episodes
I mean it's good but it hasn't really changed much

There hasn't really been any semblance of an overarching plot
And very little character development, and since Yuna is already kind of at max-power, she doesn't grow in ability either.
It kind of shows off the downside of having an OP power-trip MC if not handled well
Everything just kinda ends up being a bit flat.

Gaaaaaaaayy

wow gay

Kind of an extremely non-ending ending.
But there wasn't really ever narrative rise or fall in the show ever so there wasn't anything to ... not end, or end, or ... something
I dunno.
I enjoyed it. Kind of a very SoL-y take on the isekai genre but never having anything actually be a struggle makes it fall kind of flat.
