Hi hey hello
Congratulations on getting through Monday

There's new shows for today!

Gekidol (Double-length feature)
Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko
^{Episode 11-12}
Kamisama ni Natta Hi
^{Episode 8-12}
Tatoeba Last Dungeon Mae no Mura no Shounen ga Joban no Machi de Kurasu Youna Monogatari
Urasekai Picnic

--Team Confidence
Great Pretender
^{Episode 16-19}

Gekidol is an anime-original from GoHands, the people who did K and that battle show where pairs fought when holding hands.
I think it has a bit of an idol focus but also has their usual weird urban fantasy vibe.

Tatoeba Last Dungeon is an adventure fantasy. The artstyle looks neat but I can't say much more than that.

Urasekai Picnic is a "pulled into the supernatural" kind of story I think, and if my reading of the chatter is correct, a lot of the supernatural stuff are urban myth stories pulled from 2ch and Japanese sources like that.
It sounds pretty neat to me at least.

Needed a sec to grab that stuff.

Gekidol
Kami-tachi 11
Kamisama 8
Last Dungeon

Gekidol is a double-length episode, if you missed that
We shouldn't have too heavy a week this week before Thursday, in case you want to take it easier.

Also I'd really like to check out Urasekai Picnic.

Yeah, I know.
Do you want to do only 4 slots tonight?

Or we could sub in Urasekai for kamisama

I'm good with five slots, just making sure you were aware
You've been putting together four-slot nights for a few days so I wanted to make sure just in case.

But yeah I'd really like to check out Urasekai.
I'm actually a big fan of stuff like creepypasta and urban myths hah hah, so it sounds really interesting to me.

(Also it's apparently pretty gay and while I am being honest about being interested in the spooky side of it quite a bit, that's certainly not a downside to the show for me)

okay
gekidol
okay
lets start

For once this is literally a double-length feature
In that it's like a prequel episode and the first episode of the show aired together.

yeah, I noticed it was 00

The character design is pretty cute.
All this talk of theatre is kind of reminding me of Revue Starlight

Wow that's a big hole in the middle of the city

Oh I think the "geki" part of "geki-idol" might have something to do with acting/theatre.
So maybe it's more than just aidoru activities.

That girl with the drill ponytails sure has a forehead.

impressive fivehead

If she managed her bangs better she'd be pretty cute.
The forehead as is, is kind of silly

The MC seems like kind of a spaz
Running around and apologizing more as a knee-jerk reaction than anything

I can't really hear SMT without thinking about Shin Megami Tensei
And I haven't even played any of those games!

Forehead's kind of a bitch
She probably just doesn't want to lose time with her friend but she's doing it in a pretty selfish way.

Also KanaHana in more of a senior/mentor role than a main character.

...This building feels a bit less scrupulous than an acting theatre.

Sometimes you gotta be a littler dangerous to get ahead.

>>907823
Kanahana is getting old

She's married too!
Probably won't be too long before she's got a family.
But at the same time seiyuu work is something she can probably keep doing even after starting a family.
Her husband's also in the industry too so it's not like she's removed from it either.

Well she was doing well for a spell but I guess her consciousness caught up with her eagerness to perform

Also what's with this girl with the camera eyes.
That's a bit unnerving.

I guess this technology they were talking about earlier in the episode was kind of a full-environment hologram set up.
That much be pretty useful for stage productions.
You don't even need to do costume changes or elaborate set constructions.

It's a lot more idol than I expected

I dunno how idol I expected it to be but it did have idol in the name so I guess I expected pretty idol.
So far it's not as weird as the usual GoHands fare.
Aside from the huge-ass disaster site pit that seems to just exist in the middle of the city.

well I guess we'll get a better sense of what it's like next ep

"Alice in Deadly School" doesn't really sound like a pleasant performance to put on.
If this was an edgy kind of series it would totally be a death game stage production combination somehow.

Yeah I'm not sure what to think either
It's kind of been all over the place
Even for a probably stage performance.

The cuts between scenes keep throwing me off
Though I almost feel it's meant to be intentionally awkward
It is a bunch of kids putting on a stage performance within the frame of the in-anime world, after all.

It's gotta be a stage thing

That black-haired girl has a pretty cute design though.
The tights under skirt is always a good combination.

>When you love playing the piano so much even being a zombie can't make you stop

I wonder if every episode will be a one-off thing like this.

Well that was pretty Deux Ex Machina
Like almost as literally it as it gets

>>907840
I could see it possible, but I don't think so
Maybe we'll get shorter stage performances within each episode but I think the "real" cast are going to feature frontly.

Kinda stupid work with the helicopter there

Yeah.
Like maybe you can make the argument "we've never had to deal with a zombie apocalypse" as a reason for incompetence.
But people love the zombie apocalypse genre so much you'd assume how to handle it has kind of become memetic at this point.

The fact that even the helicopter soldier was a high school girl makes me think it's just stage stuff
also most of the cast is dead
they'll probably do different works each episode

There's definitely a "real world" plot to explore though.
If they're spending even half an episode on one-off stage productions that drastically cuts down on the time they have to follow the "real world" plot.

Aw the cute girl got bit while they were scrambling with the zombie I guess
That's a shame.

Weird, not sure what to make of it

The stage production, despite being kind of clunky, ended up being kind of fun to watch though
We really didn't get a lot of concrete stuff with the A-plot.
The MC is kind of plaincute and there's a weird girl with camera eyes and there's like a several kilometre wide pit that just exists in the middle of the city?
A lot of bits that don't go anywhere yet.

I'm interested to see where they go with it
I think all the dead girls will be back somehow

kamitachi 11
okay
lets start

Suraimu

Speaking of slime we'll be getting the first half of the next Slime Isekai season this season.

The girl's adventuring outfit is pretty cute.
The vest over blouse is a nice look.

>Crew birds
They're like just tufted pidgeons or something

Maybe it's different because they're fantasy birds but real-life pigeons don't have particularly great vision.
Since they're not birds of prey they never evolved good far-sight and don't track movement very well.
They're also dumb as fuck but I guess that doesn't matter when you're the one doing the controlling.
Maybe it's fine since pigeons are safer than birds like hawks or eagles, but if you actually wanted to do scouting, something like that would be way better.

Wow the mom has a pretty high-level summon
It's a handsome wolf too.

I think slimes will end up scaling better though.

Maybe against just the one
But sounds like she's got a whole legion of wolf summons.
He'd probably need to still grow his slime army a lot to contend with her lot.

Also seems like the girl will be quite the formidable tamer when she grows into her skills.
Oh her granddad has a bunch of dragons for familiars.
Yeah her whole family are high-class summoners.

Wow oof that is some bad flute playing
Poor guy
Wow nevermind he's a dick

The mom has a good adventuring outfit too.

>Resistance against mental pain
Probably from being abused in his past life as a salaryman

the frogs are weird

Fantasy animals got to be a bit weird!
You're kind of boring if you just write horses into your world.

okay

ura
okay
lets start

The localization for this series is Otherside Picnic
Which is legitimately a really good title.
I'm jealous they get to play with a good title like that

that happened fast

>I thought you were Ophelia
That's not a compliment!

>This thing makes you feel sick if you stare at it
>So let's keep staring at it and see what happens

Oh the glasses girl is Black Rock Shooter

The OP kinda spoils that something's up with the blonde girl though
She seems to be a ghost or at least partially not all there.

Looks like htey get into a lot of shenanigans

Yeah, seems pretty fun
Sure would be nice if the world was paranormal
Would be exciting to run around encountering actual urban myths and creepypasta stuff.

I think this is an LN adaptation
But either the author or the artist seem to be a bit of a /k/ nerd.
Some of the art I've seen and the OP showed off a variety of guns and stuff.

The blonde's outfit is super cute

She's a bit of a crazy though
Being awfully gung-ho about hunting supernatural creatures that drive you crazy by looking at them for money.

It's like a Konami code but for entering the paranatural world

This Otherside honestly seems kind of enchanting
A world like this would be interesting to explore.

It's getting dangerous

Oh well that guy looks like he didn't have as good a time as they did.

>If I wrapped my brain around it
That sounds exciting.

Those tendrils are a bit much for me though

interesting show

last dungeon
okay
lets start

Yeah I liked that a lot
Paranatural stuff is super cool.
The aesthetics were all around really nice too.

Oh well that kid was faster than expected.

There's been a lot of shows tonight with really pretty background art
I think all three of the new shows have scored super-high in that department.

>Suppose A Kid From The Last Dungeon Boonies Moved To A Starter Town
So is he gonna be like jacked up on those endgame monsters but now living where everyone and everything is still at beginner level?

Is it a high level item?
it kinda looks like it

Pretty useful magic item

Wow this witch sure has some trauma

I like this witch
She's high-class bully material

Oh they've got trains
A bit higher of a tech level than you'd normally expect from a fantasy world.

Looks like he does have very high stats.

And a terrible sense of scale because of it!

I really like this witch hah hah

OP protagonists with absolutely no capacity for common sense is always a fun trope.

>Belt Princess
>Lacks a considerable number of belts
Oh maybe they're all on her head.
That's not where you put belts!

He doesn't even need a weapon
and yeah they're all on her head

That's not where you put belts!

Also she'd probably be a lot cuter if she took them off too.

I wonder if he'll take it off

oh she took it off
and she's normal looking

Yeah I put this together about half a minute before.
His handkerchief has a Disenchant enchantment on it, right
As soon as her flashback said the belt was cursedly stuck on her head, I figured that's what happened.

Oh, he inadvertantly uncursed her

It's a good bit of "give the viewers the information and have them make the right conclusion themselves"
Which is kind of rare in a series like this hah hah
Most fantasy or isekai out of Japan do tend to hand you the explanation.

She really did become cute after losing the belt though.

She's not really much of a belt princess anymore though.

Nicknames like that tend to follow you around even after you outgrow them though.

Wow hah hah hah
RIP that arm girl

She has a lot less composure than I thought she would

It's a nice character quirk!
Whenever the lead heroine is more crazy than not, it usually makes for a more entertaining series.

It's pretty funny how everyone's losing their collective minds over how the aura the MC gives off alone.

I wonder what he did wrong
this is an interesting show too
good season so far

Yeah that was a fun first episode.
These were all pretty interest-catching first episodes.
Urasekai Picnic and this in particular I'll be excited to see what's next.
Gekidol might need another episode or two to sell me on it, the first one was interesting but a bit fuzzy on the premise.
Mondays this season look good though.
