Beastars S2 Idoly Pride Kai Byoui Ramune Kamisama ni Natta Hi Episode 11*-12 Kemono Jihen SK8 the Infinity Tenchi Souzou Design-bu Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken S2 Wonder Egg Priority World Trigger S2
--Team Confidence Great Pretender Episode 16-20
Anno
My Internet started working properly again this morning so I can watch whatever. But I might need time to get shows if I haven't downloaded them yet.
Anno
There's two new things that aired for today, though one of them is Slime Isekai S2 The other is Wonder Egg Priority, which seems to be a slightly surreal slice of life drama. It's also anime-original.
Yuu
okay
beastars world trigger tensai slime
hmm what's comfy
Anno
Idoly is an aidoru show, unsurprisingly Other than that, Tenchi Souzou, maybe, but I don't know where on the comfy <-> boring spectrum it lays.
Kai Byoui probably won't be action-y, but it might be intense in a more dramatic way.
And Wonder Egg is slice of life-y so it won't be too heavy on the drama, at least at first, I bet.
Yuu
okay
beastars world trigger kai byou tensai slime wonder egg
Yuu
let's go with that beastars okay lets start
Anno
Reaaaady
Anno
I peeked in on manga chapters of this from time to time, though I don't really know the broad plot of things. But from the chatter I saw it seems to get a bit shark-jumpy as it heads into the later parts of the manga.
Anno
Tiny boy on dog's shoulder I guess it might be a chihuahua since they were all dog or at least canine species.
Anno
It kind of got side-lined by the romance and then lion mafia plots in the first season, but the show did originally start off as a bit of a murder mystery with one of the MC's friends getting killed and eaten on campus.
Yuu
Yeah, a lot happened last season.
Anno
Sooky Spooky even
Anno
Hah hah Disappears for days or weeks maybe and then just nonchalantly shows back up at school
Oh wow two months actually
Anno
>I still remember it vividly Dude it's only been two months You're talking like it was five years ago
Anno
Dealing with Juno is just way too much for the slim emotional fidelity Legosi is capable of
Yuu
He's sulking a lot this episode.
Anno
Well it's been a while for us since the last season, but in the manga, this probably directly follows the arc the previous season ended on So it kinda acted a bit of a tempo relief for all the action
Wow that's kind of mean I was looking forward to what kind of animal has been stalking him.
Anno
I like this OP/ED a good bit It's a bit airy but accelerates well
Yuu
world trigger okay
lets start
Anno
Get ready to be absolutely lost for a while Because despite it being a good five or six years since the first season We're getting no recap!
Anno
Even I don't really know how easily I'll be able to remember who's who and what was going on.
Yuu
It's been forever since we've seen this
oh yeah i'm remembering the premise now
Anno
Some basic things I remember This Meeden they're talking about is what the weird interdimensional world of the series calls Earth I think there might be some big empire that's conquered various worlds that's turned their attention towards Earth now.
Anno
The manga for this went on a long hiatus About the same time the first anime was wrapping up Like I'm talking years of hiatus. It was a Shounen Jump manga that was doing reasonably well for a week-to-week serialization but even then, I don't think anyone expected it to resume after the hiatus went on for so long. But a year or two back it came back from the hiatus, though did move to one of Shounen Jump's less-frequent serialization magazines. I guess they finally got enough material to merit a new season of it.
Yuu
Oh, was it on a really long hiatus? That explains why this anime was gone for so long
Anno
The mangaka had some kind of unspecified health complication that made her unable to draw. It's not impossible that's also just a public way to say she got pregnant and needed time to raise her child. It's definitely a foil Japanese people have used before for situations like that. But of course, mangaka is an incredibly stressful job, especially in the week-to-week department, so maybe it's also best to just assume it exacerbated health complications until things got serious.
Anno
The art for this series exists in a weird cross-section of managing to make a lot of characters that are visually distinct, but also seem to all blend together. There's just also So. Many. Characters in it. It's hard to keep track of everyone.
Like we've seen a good few dozen characters this episode alone and we haven't even caught sight of the main trio.
Anno
We have gotten a fair amount of Jin though and he's by far the coolest so worth
Yuu
Aside from Jin, I don't remember a lot of these characters.
Anno
There was that girl with the orange hair and the guy with the cross-hatch eyes that I remember from the first season And that one dull-blonde boy with horns, he's an alien from the first season when the humanoid Neighbours invaded Earth that got left behind because his people are just a bunch of jerks.
Yuu
Oh the protagonists didn't appear at all.
Anno
I don't even remember where they are at the moment hah hah
Yuu
me either it's been so long
kai nyou byou okay let's start
Anno
I'm not too sure what to expect from this one It might be feel-good-y "I helped fix your mental/emotional problems" but it might also be "I'm a jerk and toyed with your emotional struggles"
Yuu
Seems vaguely supernatural at the moment
Anno
>Mayonnaise is coming out of my eyes Well that's certainly a kind of supernatural
Anno
Yeah I thought the girl in the movie looked like this mayonnaise girl
Anno
Oh now it's soy sauce That would really suck to get in your eyes
Anno
It's pretty clear what the aesop of this girl's condiment eyes is. Her mom's obviously become addicted to the fame her daughter has And the money that comes with it.
Yuu
She seems to have a lot of trouble at home.
Anno
>What I want is selfish It's important to be selfish some times!
Anno
Oh no she's dead inside now.
Anno
This is definitely rather unnerving The metaphor of the condiments running empty is kind of comedic, but the meaning behind it is a lot.
Anno
The real person who needs help with their emotional and mental problems is this mom honestly She's a biiiiiiiitch
There was a n x.5 episode of this last week but by my understanding it was mostly recap There might be a little bit of detail we miss because of that "mostly" though I'm sure it'll be fine though.
I guess even as a slime Rimuru has a fashion of paternal instinct
Anno
Well it's not really a recap but we're being briefed on the premise.
Yuu
Oh he's working on mimicry.
Oh is he going to mimic clothes oh it's outfits
Anno
More of a Ditto than a slime at that point
Anno
Pink oni had a better taste in clothes Though yeah everything was pretty extravagant
Anno
Ponytai! This is good too
Anno
The cape aside, Rimuru's outfit is pretty nice Looks like a respectable vest outfit The cape is a bit doofy to me hah hah
Yuu
He's really built up his town big
Anno
Yeah I really like the goblins They're a fun cast of characters.
Anno
Ah, yep That's about what I expected from that mushroom.
Anno
>Three Beastketeers
Anno
I guess Rimuru will have to lay down some force with this testy lady
Yuu
Looks like a big minion fight.
Anno
Yeah, these monsters are picking fights with Rimuru because he associates with humans and is a lowly slime Even if Rimuru's vassals can't handle it I'm sure he could do clean-up fine.
Yuu
yeah if they can handle it, I don't think Rimuru would even need to be invovled
wonder egg okay lets start
Anno
Reaaady
Anno
Weird dunno why my Internet hiccuped
Anno
Judging from the synopsis this one might get a bit dreamwalker-y Which is what I meant by guessing it could be a little surreal Since dreams are usually, y'know Surreal
Anno
It's actually ... just an egg The synopsis talked about her getting an egg but I thought it was going to be more the look of an egg than an actual egg.
Anno
Man I wish I could just sleep all day like that.
Anno
Yeah this is some real dream shit
Anno
Hm, normally girls like that come from very different kinds of eggs.
Yuu
oh well this turned into something
Anno
Dreams usually do!
The animation in this is really clean too. Like it's just nice to look at.
Anno
Being real in a world of someone else's dream would probably suck They get to employ dream logic but you're stuck with your mortal body.
Yuu
and dreams are dangerous
Anno
I guess she's either got guilt from not helping her friend as she was being bullied Or was cheering on the bullying herself Looks like the more predictable option
Anno
I wonder if severe heterochromia like that would result in a lot of bullying Japanese schools are awfuly places for bullying after all.
Anno
This other girl looks like of meek but she seems to have quite a forceful personality >looks like of meek Man what the fuck is my attention span tonight
Anno
Wow that's a jump
Yuu
oh no she's bleeding at the table
Anno
More than bleeding that was a pretty bad wound to the side
Anno
I guess she eventually got better though
Wonder when we'll see the redhead again.
Anno
Well that wasn't as comfy as we probably could've hoped for
But it was really cool and interesting to me at least. The animation was super clean and they played with dream weirdness really well. I'm definitely interested in seeing more.
Yuu
yeah interesting not quite comfy material but very interesting
