While reviewing my list after clueing in that it might be a bit wonky because of Beastars last night, I realized while I'd downloaded Back Arrow over the weekend, I'd not written it into the list I keep
And that I'd missed last week's episode of Slime Isekai too, which is why there's two episodes of that there

I think I've got things all properly tracked now though

oh yeah I remember downloading that

is bang with us tonight?

world trigger
back arrow

hataraku


okay
egg instead of world trigger

weeeeeeeeeeeee

wonder egg
okay
lets start!

oh snap lemme download
i have mega internet
should be 2 mins

Man I remember when I could download half a gigabyte in like a few minutes

well i just downloaded 1.24 in less thyan 1
and it wasn't my own speed that was getting capped

orang

I used to have fast Internet
But this condo we're renting has speeds of like 1.5MB/s tops
It's exhaustingly slow.

i just finished writing my will o.0

what the hell

this music is interesting

She's like a blonde palette swap for Ryuuko

This OP been wormed a bit into my ear for the past week
It's like, simple enough to just hum to yourself
And has a kind of nostalgia vibe to it

my ribs
it's the hataraku girl

kawaii
kusa

i like this con artist

Oh no she's a LEECH

She's certainly got a bit of a personality

i predict conflict

ai grabbed the mandarin because she's the sweetest

tsundere grabbed the melon because she's the most sour

It looks like there's peaches and kiwi in there though
I'd rate those as sweeter than mandarin

wait it's kiwi

SQUISH

>>913496
no way
mandarins are the sweetest

That was a lot of attention to thigh detail there
Rika's hand really sunk into Ai's thigh

she grabbed a pear first, i thought

wow this girl is
a little bit
imposing

She's got absolutely no filter either.
Honestly she's kind of an unpleasant person.

this rika girl started out really cute
but
i don't know so much about that now

She's still a kid so I'm sympathetic to her attitude
Especially if she's got her dad telling her she needs somone to pay for her whims
The attitude is probably her way of coping with whatever's made her this way.

hahahaha

bedroom stuff...

Well it's not uncommon for junior idols to end up doing stuff like that

Hmmmmmmmm

what the
wow that's dark

I like her fighting style though

they aren't syncing up well in combat

oh ok
rika's cool now

I think she still needs to grow out of her attitude a bit
But it's about what I expected
She's got a twisted personality because of factors in her life

Kakkoii

sugoku kakkoiiiiiiiiiii

Time for a persona boss

The gym coach lady was also kind of the same way
The boss enemies in these dream worlds really go all out

Yeah, she was really in the vein of an early persona boss

Oh no petrification
Hopefully that's temporary
Might be harder to explain turning to stone than normal injuries showing up overnight

wait
WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT
WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAITWAIT
WHAT
NO NO NO NO
i'm mad
i'm mad

wow what a cliffhanger

wow there's not even something after the credits
just the most insane cliffhanger ever
>>913525
it's only episode 3!
there's so many implications!
i'm upset!

It's not thaaaat crazy a cliffhanger
>>913524
Episode three of Madoka ended with Mami getting chomped

yeah, and if i was watching it while it was airing i probably would've screamed almost as loud as i did just now

you guys only see my posts but please understand i am absolutely losing my shit over here

I'm just saying it's a pretty standard dramatic cliffhanger!
Episode three is usually when viewers have gotten settled in so you can start to twist the knife.

oh wow Ai is being played my someone whose first two roles are this season
she's also suzu from idoly pride

and she's only 16
being a voice actor that young would be pretty scary probably

There's been a fair amount of mid-teens seiyuu in the past decade or so.
The last notable one I remember was the imouto from that show with the [EXTERNAL SCREAMING] gif

And Doga Kobo has a habit of picking up a few rookie starter seiyuu that I'd suspect are around that age for their main characters.
Then getting more experienced seiyuu to fill out the support roles.
Which is a pretty nice way of doing it I think

rika's only had two other roles
neiru's had a few but not that many

i haven't paid as much attention to neiru but rika and ai have been good so far

looking forward to next week
ok

back arrow
OKAY
okay
lets start

thanks for anime!

Bakayarou

There was a full-on ship hidden in the mountain there

Oh yeah it was kinda wild at the end of the last ep

This OP's kinda funny since there's very clear parts of it that are intentionally censored to hide characters that'll show up later in the show.

This nation seems to kind of be a fusion of both Japanese and Chinese cultural elements
More so Chinese but there are other Asian elements here.

Looks like they're getting a lot of attention now.

Really this nation's gotten the most attention aside from the Wild West wildlands town
They've barely given that other major nation they're at war with any attention

Also man this guy is BIG
He absolutely towers over the other two.

Sure must suck to have the guy you're obviously crushing on tell you he's got no interest in romance.

Him talking to this hostage isn't going to end well.

Yeah he's a total moron
It looks like they sold the plan on the whole town though.

I'm pretty sure last episode the president guy did give the order for them to destroy the entire village to cover up Back Arrow's arrival though.
So there's no way his "promise" to let the town live in exchange for him is worth anything.

Looks like he has one loyal waifu at least.

He makes a good point
That ship they unearthed is probably firepower on par with most of the other major nations in this world.
They might not have their village any more, but they've got a ship

A giant robot can't get you food
but it does seem like
oh
they're trading it away
they sure do think small

They're going to get betrayed too

Yeah no doubt

I guess when you live a hard life out in the badlands you have a hard time thinking big or valuing yourself.

I don't really think they should believe him so easily

You can't ever trust the government when they promise the world to you

Oh I guess they didnt' take the ship, that's surprising
but they did betray them which is not really a surprise to anyone

Not-America being a petty nation stuck between two national superpowers sure is a fun detail.

He's got so much style

For a guy with no memories he sure has a solid personality
You'd think with no recollection of who you used to be, you'd have a hard time knowing what your personality is.

She's so bouncy

Oh that was clever of her
maybe she's not that weak

They're kind of in a pickle though, as long as Arrow is the only one that can defeat the armored people without killing them
I mean sure they can just let them die
But that's probably a bit outside the vibe of the show.

I think he'll probably always be there to finish them

okay
hataraku black
okay lets start'

Let's see how the body is falling apart this week

The Killer T cells in this body are kind of bara

I was looking forward to getting to see them

Oh I didn't know that was your type

That's true, I don't really like bara much

It's a neat change-up from the original Hataraku how this one has more of a consecutive plot structure compared to the original's mostly episodic nature.

Well this body doesn't seem to be getting grey hairs yet.
Though it looks like it's getting close.

She's a nice lady
If only we could all have cells like her in our bodies

This Helper T cell has zero chill
Guy needs to take a coffee break

Hair loss!
I knew immune system cells could mistake proper body cells as foreign substances and attack them
But I didn't know they could go after even cells like hair cells and cause hair loss that way.

Yeah, the immune system is going berserk

All his hair is gonna die

Well if the root cause of the hair loss is stress this time then his hair might be able to grow back if he can regain some peace of mind and stop being so stressed out all the time
Not that it really ever looks like he'll get to that point
The life the body leads seems to be a particularly stressful one

Looks like the owner of this body took something to deal with his problems
Ah they're steroids

>what the cell is taht

They've been using that pun all show long hah hah
I'm pretty sure I've seen it at least once each episode.
If you keep an eye out in the normal Hataraku I think you might see it pop up too.

Oh no blood in your urine is generally a Very Bad thing

Well it seems like it's just a kidney stone, but still, even just a kidney stone suuuucks
Especially since the PV is making it out to be one centimetre big
That's a nasty thing to have stuck in that part of your body

tensai slime
okay
lets start

Episode twenty-six (26) of this

I feel like the animation for this is consistently very fluid

They did have a lot of time between seasons to work on the new season.
Even delayed it by like half a year or so because of Covid, which probably ended in a net positive of more time to work on the show.
When you've got time like that you can probably make some fairly good animation

And I think this is a really popular isekai so there was likely a demand for it to be done properly.

Hah hah she's just been charging it still despite everyone else backing down

Rimuru just casually flexing who's the
the REAL powerhouse here

Yeah I knew this wouldn't end without him having a chance to flex

This dragon lamia lady is pretty good
Would be better with legs though

Just two absolute boozehounds

Kobolds are dogs!
Cute kobolds are always the better option
As far as fantasy creatures go they're probably the species that sees the most variance from fantasy world to fantasy world
Often they look closer to goblins except maybe lankier and with a bit of fur
But they're also often interpreted as sentient mammal-y creatures about the same size as goblins.
I like them better when they're more like that than just fuzzy goblins.

The weird slime appendage is a new thing

It probably happened from switching between humanoid body and slime body so much
Once you get comfortable having an arm and hand to gesture with, it must probably be weird to going back to a ball of slime.

A demon lord named Carrion that leads a nation of beastkin that seems to have a primary industry of agriculture sure is a unique combination of aspects.

He's REALLY developed his country
I wonder where things will go from here

I know of one plot point that might come up in this season.
Though this season is a two-cour, split-season season though, so we might not see it for a while.
But it might also be a mid-season cliffhanger, I could see that happening.

With how developed his country is though, it's probably due time they flesh out the rest of the world too.
So we might see more state dignitary visits like we did with Carrion's.

Rimuru's formal wear really looks like something a vampire would wear
I think it's the suit under the fancy cape.

A lot of the dwarves in this series are distinctly not dwarfy at all really.
Others are, of course.
But others just look like plain humans.

>>913591
Yeah, a large percentage of them are not really any different than humans

I kinda like this ED
It's weird, it's not really a genre I'd say I'm particularly fond of
But like, if if was a part of a themed playlist or set of similar songs I think it would make for some good listening.
Like sound to fill empty space kind of nice.

It's okay, just kinda average to me

hataraku normal
this is ep 3 isnt it
okay
lets start

Should be, yeah

Peko peko Pecorine

Oh histamines
Guess it's an allergy episode

Maybe she'll do something right this episode and save the day

More of a gorilla cell than a hysterical cell

Ah ahhhh
That's a horrifying interpretation of a mosquito

>>913600
That is kind of the usual plot of this show's episodes
Show's a cell's function, and then how it can go awry or make problems
But then by the end shows off how they work to keep the body all right.

Ih
Oh yeah here it is
She's not doing her job because she's worried

I wonder if the tengu masks are supposed to be a Dengue -> Tengu pun
Though Dengue sounds more like "den-gay" than "den-gu"

The immune system cells sure are a bunch of psychopaths
They just go ham on their targets

Cute Mast Cell

more hair

Yeah
These ones are little kids here
I wonder if this body is supposed to be a younger kid or something
It would explain why its immune system is so strong and why the body seems to recover so easily from any danger

Also pimples/acne do pop up more in kids entering puberty than other age groups

I imagine this body as a young but clumsy girl

I don't even know if they'd need to be particularly clumsy
Most of the stuff we've seen are things you don't even have much control over.
Like you're not going to catch every mosquito that lands on your body to suck blood
And countless bacterium and viruses enter your body on a daily basis that your immune system is usually capable enough to fight off.
No amount of carefully avoiding clumsiness is going to stop that from happening

I really don't like these acne bacteria though
Something about their design is just super gross to me.

Acne is super gross so it works

You can't kill the main White Blood Cell that easily!
This second half of the episode didn't have much of Red Blood Cell
Weird of it to focus only on the White Blood Cell

The area around the hair in this body was a lot less developed
it was a city in black

Yeah, it's subtle environmental details like that which also contribute to me thinking this body's much younger than the one in Black
I mean it's pretty obvious even with the unhealthy lifestyle the body in Black is at least a full adult of mid-thirties bare minimum.
This body strikes me as more maybe early to mid-teens.

Yeah, I think it's a very young body

okay
thanks for anime

Yup yup, thanks for anime
Have a nice night
