We do have an episode of Wonder Egg for tonight

Do we have bang for it?

Almost certainly
Dunno what he's doing at the moment but it would probably not be an exaggeration to say he looks forward to the show

okay we'll sub it in when he's ready

gekidol
okay
lets start

Time for gay-kidols

Giving a robot your dead sister's name doesn't really sound like a great idea.

>When the girl you're crushing on starts giving more attention to a literal robot than you

Seria kinda still feels pretty crazy though
And more than in the way she's imprinting on the robot
Like the way she kinda just totally dismissed the other girl trying to talk about the kiss last episode.
She's got some kind of emotional deficiency problem or something.

She's kind of a weirdo
this is a really weird show

creepy doll smile here

For a show that kinda bills itself on being cute idols doing acting things it really builds a lot of foreboding and overall unease.

Yeah, it's a very strange show
Kinda makes you nervous

Yeah
I'm just waiting for someone to go totally psycho
Either Seria, Airi, or the robot that's probably now convincing itself that its a real person named Alice.

>I see your leg has not improved
Come on dude did you think she was feigning the crutch or something

Oh no that doesn't seem good

bang is here and stuff

Ah sorry I meant to ping you about it
This episode of Gekidol has been a bit engrossing

no worries, i was gonna check moe at some point
tomorrow is a late day for work

Was almost certain that robot girl was just gonna strangle or knife her there or something

the robot is kinda creepy yeah

okay
so it was
wonder egg next
okay
okay
lets star
t

Yeah we can do it since we've got Bang here
>>916019
Yeah, that's correct

we're on 4, right?
ready

That's not a boy
Momotarou is a boy's name!

Ah well those are some awful parents.

i really like this OP

Yeah it's nice and unique

Oh yeah I forgot we were in the middle of a cliffhanger last episode

Dual-wielding!

a swordsman!

Isn't that a spear?

yeah but she was fencing with it

Hah hah hah
What a way to counter the crazy lady

Everyone is on the ropes this episode
and it's barely started

I had a feeling the girl that groped might've been fucked up by it like that though
The way she was acting with Momo in the train was a bit weird.

Oh the tentacle lady is a bit more persistent.

GOD BLOW

SEN NO

Tomboy-chan is cute too

Those two were so peppy right up 'till the end

Wow she's acrobatic

Oh shit Ai's getting RIPPED

awww

Neiru turning on the FLIRT

Shachou!?

These two guys (?) are funny
I'd like to see more of them

Oof

ah
souka

These two really are oil and water

Wow, that's, uh
That's sure a generalization

D'aw
Momoe dropped the deeper, more masculine voice she's been using

no....
i didn't want the episode to end yet

The way they all met up at the end there was really sweet
Very human and relatable conversation
And Momoe getting to drop her boyish attitude was adorable too.

this is a good series

lots of feelings and stuff
and it doesn't feel cheesy or awkward
it feels a little awkward sometimes but only when it's supposed to

Yeah it's not as if real conversation doesn't some time feel like an absolute fish in the desert

i just mean it's not like stiff nor is // does it feel like a way it shouldn't ever
hmmm
awkward not in the sense of like human interaction awkward but like storytelling awkward
nothing feels shoehorned in
the characters always say things that feel like things they'd naturally say, but without being predictable
oftentimes in anime you can guess how a conversation would go word for word and then it plays out like that
in this case the characters' uniqueness makes dialogue flow in a dynamic way but without feeling forced, or like it's desperate for that uniquity
the monogatari series actually struggles with that sometimes

this show is probably my favorite this season
if it keeps it up, it might even be 3x3 material

It's definitely one of the strongest contenders
Hard for anything to beat Higurashi for me though because of how absolutely crazy it's setting up to turn out
I'm always excited to see more Wonder Egg but Higurashi has had me regularly throughout the week going "Oh yeah I need to get more of this"

okay
world trigger 3

can't wait for more higurashi

okay
lets start

higurashi is last season tho

I don't think you understand this is a BIG exception because of how it's gone
Higurashi's still airing this season after all.
>>916060
Categorized by who?
>>916060
As if
Since when was the Internet always united behind one idea

>>916057
I'm ready when you are.

>>916061
I do have a consistent rule for what season a show falls in
Whichever season it's currently airing in

yeah, i just mean the "best of season award" is always categorized by the starting date of the show
sometimes they call a 2nd cour a 2nd season
but then you gotta use discretion
>>916059
the internet

if you don't have a rigid rule for what season a show falls in, you can just say a show is the best of the weaker season it aired during, or you can say it was the best in each season it aired, etc

This is kind of why the British distinction of seasons and series is kind of nice

well then you're wrong, and one piece is the best show every season

Well it's not because One Piece isn't -that- good.

We've seen more of the main trio in the OP than we've in the entire actual show

The guy controlling those mobs is pretty clever
Picked up that she's pre-planning those lightning movements quickly.

I'm still kinda in that place where I have no idea what's going on
we haven't seen the protagonists in so long

Here's what I think I remember from it
So towards the end of the first season, there was that big invasion by some humanoid Neighbours, right?
Earth was able to fight them off, but in doing so attracted attention from other worlds/dimensions in the weird interdimensional space that this series takes place in
These guys are a smaller world than the first invasion but seem to be a bit more elite.
I'm not 100% certain why they're trying to invade though.

In the meanwhile there was also the inter-organizational battle tournament the main trio were taking part in
Doing well in that seems to have earned them the change -chance to board a ship that's going into the interdimensional space between worlds/dimensions for an exploratory mission
I think that might be where they are at the moment, but they might also just be resting up to be in good condition for the mission.

It's hard to get back into it after having not seen it in so long

slime

>>916072
sure

okay
lets start

Oh right I was also gonna ask can we end on Urasekai Picnic tonight?
We can still do Slime of course

Okay ready when you are

Back to the school side of things

Oh yeah Rika are you playing the Princess Connect mobage?

It doesn't feel like Rimuru was gone that long from the nation
Feels a bit excessive to throw a whole festival for it

they REALLY love Rimuru

>>916074
I did make an account and I did play a bit
I haven't logged on in a few days
it feels kinda grindy and I run out of stamina very quickly

Yeah that's fair
I've kinda settled into it and I'm enjoying it a fair bit, but the grind and low-ish reward rates are kind of a drag
The pseudo-PVP arena is the best part of the gameplay
Marsh and I have been having a bit of a friendly competition climbing the ranks in it
I asked because I found a Yuu around rank 3100 who reminded me of you
Their character choice was even kind of Rika-poi

This lady says she's a spy here to evaluate the risk of Rimuru's nation
But it does kind of feel like she'll end up being charmed by its people and culture

I'm a bit surprised Rimuru is surprised by the notion that his nation might get invaded
They're obviously an economic powerhouse and kind of a powerful threat
On top of being composed mostly of monsters

I don't think he has anything to worry about if he gets invaded though
His nation is super powerful

I'm under the impression his nation is powerful, but the only reason they've seemed so strong is because they've gone up against uncivilized, relatively uncoordinated threats
Like a rampaging army of Orcs or various monstrous threats aren't -that- big a deal in the broad scale of things

Plus there are even more extreme powerhouses out there in this world.
Like Milim, the pink-haired girl, she could easily curbstomp Rimuru if she wanted to
He's just lucky she made him her best friend.

If another powerful nation in this world organized a legitimate attack against Tempest, I think they'd have a harder time
Plus if you think about it, they don't have any defensive infrastructure
Their city doesn't even have walls after all!

Looks like there's a lot of people who've gotten isekai'd into this world though
Here's three of them just hanging out
They seem like kind of problematic people though.

Looks like his crisis is about to happen

Might take another episode or two though
Honestly titling a weekly series' episode "Prelude to Disaster" is just plain mean though
Like now we know we're not even getting disaster next week, we're just getting the wind up to it
We'll have to wait a whole two weeks for the actual disaster!

Yeah, it'll be awhile I think

picnic
okay
lets start

What sort of horrors will we see this week~

Toriko really sure can eat a lot

Yeah no kidding
If I found a random hat wandering an otherworldly dimension populated with all sorts of crazy paranatural things
I'd be extremely cautious about putting it on

Well that's probably not good.

Now they're just wandering into the Otherside without even trying
Something like this sure must be a sobering experience even if you're really hammered though

It's better than taking the scary elevator

I don't know about thaaaat
After all the elevator is scary but at least they're in control of using it
If anything the fear that at any moment you might just walk the wrong interdimensional direction and trip right into the Otherside is way scarier

Who'da thunk the paranatural world, already pretty dangerous during the day, would be incredibly worse at night?

yeah they're having a scary ride

A whole squad of Stalkers hah hah
Wonder what they're doing in this neck of the woods

What a ... nice giant antler man
Drawing the attention of the automaton

That guy really wanted to shoot some girls

Sorawo's mouth agape face is always a bit hard to tell if she's excited or terrified by a situation

For trivia's sake, the station name they were talking about, Kisaragi-eki, is a classic Internet urban myth
It's been on Japanese social sites for years now

This is one of the better things airing this season

I love the atmosphere in it
The haunting quiet of the Otherside is really well done
And the main characters make for a fun duo

the character designs are great too

Geez Rika at least make it to your bed before you fall asleep
