There's of course much more than this that aired over the weekend but I was a bit pressed for time getting anime tonight so I made do with the essentials
If we've got Bang for all five of his shows tonight then everything we need's on there.

i am bang and i am here
jade won't make it tonight

I hope you're not too jaded

eh!?
nani!?

mushoku
kumo spider
jaku
toubun
non non

mushoku
oaky
lets start

mushoku!

Isekky
Was it last episode or the one before it that went a bit crazy
I think it was last episode

they're all crazy now

Oh he's a fat hikki nerd again

yeah he's in his old form

Reminds me of the Gamemaster from that isekai from ... last season?

At least there's some convenient mist here
I don't really want to see a fat naked hikki nerd.

Poor guy though
Despite being reborn as a cute shota and living a good life, in his own head he's still the same fat hikki nerd he always was.

Pft

i think unconscious conversations with gods typically means you're a prophet, right

He's ni
in a pickle now

>>924989
Only if you believe in them

Oh it's one of those supposedly Very Evil demonpeople
Yeah the Superb Owls

In a somewhat unsurprising turn of events, the Very Evil demonpeople don't actually seem all that bad.

The fast flip-flapping between being a sensibly scared girl and the usual haughty Eris is cute.

it's possible that he's also a weird one though

I wonder what this place is going to be like
looks like desert I guess

Yeah, looks like Utah, or Australia
So hell on Earth really.

if he summons water and drinks it
does it hydrate him

I'd assume so
I'd suspect the author for this series is probably a TRPG nerd, and by D&D rules, water and food you create through magic is nourishing, if not particularly nutritious

oh he's doing it

I assume he turns mana to water so it seems like it would hydrate

She's become really familiar with him.

She's used to dealing with servants and subservient people
And the demonman is awfully polite with them.

This blue-haired boy kinda reminds me of a different blue-haired character in this series.
Oh they all have this blue hair.

Oh shit they know Roxy

oh wow
i should've guessed when i saw their hair

Does that mean Roxy is a demon person?
I thought she was a normal human.

They do all kinda look like Roxy.

It was probably a lie she's gotten used to telling to make people not think she's a demon.

Roxy is also way older than we were lead to believe.
wow
WOW

Man who would've thought Rudy would end up being a milf chaser

HAHAH
rudy you wish

That means Roxy was probably the oldest person in that home too.

By age along, probably.
Alone, even
It could be that they don't mature mentally at the same rate humans do.

Also Roxy doesn't seem to be the Superd people who are particularly hated.
It sounds like her people are a different kind of human-adjacent species.

Well, Roxy can pass for human and doesn't have a gem in her head so

i think there's a lot of different clans of demons
i'm guessing their hair color is the defining physical genetic trait
sylphie is half-demon or demon, right?

She's got elf ears, so probably is elven.
But they have been notably secretive of her actual race.

oh yeah elves

This guy's pretty cool
Very respectable.

man rudy's just made a promise that will be very hard to keep, i imagine

Grandma Roxy!

Wow she's as cute as Roxy

>>925019
Well, he does owe the guy his life.

hahaha
he tried

Her entire tribe of people are really good at taking things in stride
Roxy was the same way with Rudy's antics.

Eris is just happy to have a new sword

man i'm always sad when this show ends

It unfortunately only slated for one cour right now
Hopefully they can get the support to adapt the series properly.
I know the director in particular would be all for it, he just needs the funding.

I hope it gets more adaptation, it's very good.

kumo spider
okay
lets start

i would really like for it to be adapted to completion
but the moment i think it's gonna be too long before the next season you better believe i'm going to read it

spider time

Reaaaady

wait a second
wasn' the cliffhanger that awkward-nerd-chan is DEAD

Yeah
Meaning either we've been bamboozled about the identity of Kumoko, or Kumoko will "die" before too long and be reborn as something a bit different.
Which creates an error in the elf-sensei's monitoring program that lets her move unaccounted for.

well she was about to die in that episode too

So Fei keeps silent around people who don't know about reincarnation, eh

oh wait
OH WAIT

were they reincarnated as babies?
did kumoko die years and years ago

Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone was reborn, not just popped into this isekai
Which is why I think there's a time disjunction between this human-side of the story and Kumoko's side.

i kinda had a theory like that at some point but i've been confused working it out
now that they mentioned the spider silk scarves
it seems pretty obvious though

that or
the elf told her she was dead
because she didn't want them to know
that she had become and evil spider god

Oh she does need a hand though

uh oh

wait this looks like a really fucking terrible idea

Yeah but some times in life all you've got to work with are terrible ideas
So you just gotta kinda run with 'em

so you just kinda gotta open a dimensional demon portal to suck all the lava out of the underworld

Well it's not like that lava was doing anybody any good

i just thought maybe there would be some ecological ramifications

oh man she's really leveling

RYUUGOROSHI

I wonder what her next evolution will be

Looks like she's attracted some proper attention for the first time now though

For the first time in her life she's got someone to talk to!

This guy definitely seems like a demon lord
but he's spwaking a different language

I CANTO SUPEAKU ISEKAIGO

What is this development hah hah

yeah i'm at a loss

I mean I'm here for it, but it's pretty funny
The image of a dragon knight-poi guy talking on a smartphone is really funny.

Well there's been some indication that it's some kind of game type thing before

Yeah, pretty much
Oh she's got a direct line of communication to the Jashin
That's an even higher level than Maou

Okay so this black-haired lady isn't the Jashin she was just talking with.

So this demon round table conference is happening at the same time as the human timeline
But they're still being vague on when Kumoko's time is.

And black-haired is a Maou
Which puts her below the Jashin she was talking to earlier.

scary scary

They do really tease that this Maou is Kumoko though
From the threads to the Abyss magic.

I wonder if she's related to spiders.

oh wow
church-addict is here

Is it?
I mean I get why she looks similar.
But I dunno if that's the same person.

And yeah, the Maou is a reincarnated student
But at this point I feel they're laying on the hints that the Maou is Kumoko so heavily that it HAS to be a red herring

Oh I guess his brother died

well that's a way to find out...

man what the actual heck is going on
this is spiraling out

Looks like things are picking up on the human side of things

>>925072
Spiraling out like a spider's web?

jaku
okay
lets start

There's been a lot of focus on Mimimi these past few episodes
Wonder when we'll get to other girls.

it was pretty hard to not click these

ready
>>925076
is this 2cour?

Haven't checked but I'd assume almost certainly not

there isn't really any time for much else in the season
if there's only 1cour
and this feels like a 1cour

They still got four episodes
That's more than enough time to adapt a whole LN volume

Oh my

Her outfit wasn't super high effort either.

see i feel like aoi is kind of a weirdo
you can't just tell someone to date someone else like that
and setting it as a goal is weird
it like completely discounts the feelings of kikuchi
that's like literal objectification
even if she likes him and wants to date him, deciding on some kind of mission like that without her involvement strikes me as sociopathic on aoi's part and ignorant on nerd-kun

>>925082
It's not, but it is kinda slovenly fashionable
He's in clothes that for anyone that gives two whits would be only like, casual indoors clothes.

Telling him to date her is kinda weird
kinda mean to her isn't it

that's what i'm sayin

Well they're both game nerds who are too wrapped up in the GAMER mentality to see it as anything else.

oh and now it's all just prep for dating fuka
alright
hinami is a sociopath, this is now my headcanon

She's just trying to have fun messing with him and his reactions aren't quite delivering.

she's been borderline since episode 1
she's actually a sociopath now i'm convinced

Even on their dates they're Smashing

I get that though
Even just sending friend requests or similar contact requests is anxiety-inducing to me
It's hard for me to just do something like that.

i'm going to reeeeeeeeee
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hah hah hah
I think Aoi didn't correctly how fond Kikuchi is for him
Er didn't correctly estimate

She's not wrong here
Plus an overnight barbeque social event sounds fun

She really is kinda a weirdo

Sure, I don't think she's normal
But I also don't think she's doing this out of some sociopathic gless

Hah hah hah
Aoi pulled a fun chaos card here

mimimi immediately looks for porn

Out of all the characters, she's probably the closest to a "normal" friend he's got.

>>925100
That's the first thing you do in a guy's room.

Kinda pointless in western culture though because everyone just looks at porn on the computer.

I have some of the stuff I bought at Comiket that used to be hidden away in a corner of my room
It's up north at my parents' place right now though.

thanks for reminding me to restrict viewing my history on my phone

This goal Aoi's given him to mess with the other guy is kind of a problematic one
Messing with people is best done naturally
If you feel pressured to do it you kinda end up just being kind of a dick

Nothing weird about a guy thoroughly massaging another guy's hair

Oh no he's a GAMER

>Hinami is crazily serious about cheese
Aoi wrote those for him to boot too
She's letting him tease her about her love of cheese behind her back

oh wow it's happening now

>>925108writing conversation topic flashcards for your friend is whack af
writing conversation topic flashcards for your friend is whack af

What about writing conversation topic flashcards for yourself

it's okay if no one ever finds out
but if i find out i'm gonna send you a text message with a giant WeirdChamp image

Okay, but is writing them out really any different from rehearsing them in your head?
Like just thinking them up mentally and practicing them by yourself.

oh this is scary

Yeah he kinda flunked the movie deito
Or maybe just barely, barely passed.
She might like him a bit but she also might just be a bit of a high-level social encounter for him

ah i see
she's just being awkward
aw she's cute

She's definitely very sweet

this fucking bogdanoff conversation with his handler while walking home from his date
"she didn't love you enough, train harder"

poor fuka

where's hachiman and his quest for the real thing

I don't think if they get together and date that it's not real
There's obviously some mutual ground and feelings between each other
And if Aoi didn't slap some sense into him he'd have never even TALKED to Kikuchi

>>925122
obviously yeah
but i feel like tomozaki needs to stop letting aoi crowd his brainspace
he's capable enough now
i think the best outcome is if tomozaki and kikuchi just spend more time together
it's obvious there's some natural chemistry
but tomozaki is being too heavily influenced
and sometimes it's hard to tell when he's being himself
i think she was picking up on that
also the way he and misuzawa got along
was almost despite aoi telling him to mess with him
or more like fortunate coincidence

They're doing something kinda bad to that girl
she's gonna get burned

toubun
okay
lets start

gimme 5 secs
brb

This is probably moving into a new arc too
Since they kinda wrapped everything up last episode

ready

if a girl went looking through my room
i'd probably have said something already like "go ahead and look all you want, but there are things in this world you can't unsee once found"
or something edgy like that

really all there is to find is a dildo in a shoebox

oh wait i un-oranged

I'd have to figure out something to hide
Because what fun is looking for something when there isn't anything there?

I am not telling you to explain the dildo cause I don't want to know
but when someone finds it you should probably explain
most girls own helpers like that but it's weird for a guy to have a dildo

damn he is _not_ happy that they're trying to work here

Well one of them is Nino who is difficult to be around even when she likes him
And the other is Miku who's a cooking abomination

>>925132
is it?
i don't really think so

Oh, now they're all in the same class as him
I think in the last year it was just Itsuki?

now that i think about it, yotsuba and miku are the only ones i'd worry about not being able to hold a job
well nino kinda but only because she's not mentally stable
she's definitely capable

I think Itsuki would be able to hold a job, but might have a hard time finding one
Since she's so serious and kind of a perfectionist
Finding the "right" job might snag her up

>>925137
was itsuki in his class?

Yeah, pretty sure
The first episode had her transferring into his class

Yotsuba sure wants to be relied on

>>925141
oh yeah you're right
that never really came up again

this yare yare motherfucker

Who's this fucking nerd

Well it's true that it was obvious who she was going to pick

uesugi don't want that

It's just more work he doesn't want

oh miku

POUT

UTTERLY TACK HAIRPIN

Yotsuba had no issue being described as having a gaudy ribbon though

miku kowai

See yeah
Itsuki considers him a good friend but can't fathom falling in love with him

yeah but that's like a flag in and of itself

Even in school he's become the sisters' handler hah hah

what the heck yotsuba
but she knows what everyone cares about lol

Really Futarou's just abnormal
Most high school students don't care about exams in like the first two weeks of the school year.

Ponytail Nino is pretty nice.

"maybe i shouldn't have confessed"
maybe you shouldn't have got a job at his workplace in a superior position
you bitch

NINOS EXPLODE REEEEEE

Oh that's totally Itsuki
I guess she's been moonlighting as a food reviewer for a while

Oh oof
That's a pretty big goof up

Working is definitely tough

>>925164
it happens more than you think

Oh I know
At the warehouse I'm working at, like a year back one of the buyers bought like thirty -three camera bags, but the vendor messed up and sent us thirty
It took like a year for them to get sorted properly.

uh oh

>May-san
Oh wait yeah that's absolutely Itsuki

wow

Yeah Nino is going HARD
I guess I can start to see why some people like her so much

She's so aggressive

I can't deny I like when they're a bit aggressive.

if someone committed a felony against me i don't think i'd be putting up with this behavior
i'd have put nino in jail back in season 1

Is it really a felony in the Japan legal system though

Wow so all the girls just carry around a disguise case for each other.

i don't think they have felonies the way we do
poisoning is a pretty serious offense though
and in the japanese legal system, her father would've had to pay a lot of money to make it go away or she'd almost definitely be convicted of attempted murder

Hah hah hah
Come on Ichika
Did you really think asking FUTAROU of all people to skip class would work.

The competition is getting fierce.

>>925174
I think you'd forgive a pretty girl.

>>925179
nope

The first season only really had romance stuff for Miku in it
They've really been turning it up for all the girls now though.

Oh wow
despair for her

ICHIKA
NO
YOU'RE TAKING
THE DARK ROUTE

ICHIKA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

That's pretty sneaky
All that acting work sure paying off.

ICHIKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Is it time that I need to remind you again

ICHIKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

ITS NOT TOO LATE ICHIKA
TAKE IT BACK
TELL HIM THE TRUTH

I'm all for this development
Things were getting too level and chummy for a romance drama

wow ichika just went from a top-tier waifu and one of my favorites to bottom-tier snake

wow what a development

non non
okay
lets start

When people get pushed to despair it inspires in them all sorts of dangerous impulses
That's what make human beings so wonderful

look at her
she's lost all control

also i like how you can see her pink eyebrow underneath the miku hair

There's some good attention to detail in this season
Much better than the QUALITY fest which was season one.

here goes komari saying something she's aboslutely goign to regret later

Oh right Rika here's something you might be interested in
>>>/@anime_maousama/1368156066492473346
Hataraku Maou-sama, season two
For some reason, eight years after the first season aired
It's been announced!

guess i better watch season 1

i've been meaning to for a while
there was a cute anime girl that made me interested in the show i think

Hataraku Maou-sama is pretty good
It did reverse isekai before isekai was cool

her top is jail colors

Spooky Boogie

That net feels very inadequate for catching a ferret

we have ferrets at the house
they don't look this big though

I think Natsumi would laugh at you for running around the house trying to catch a weasel with a bug net.

defeated by a weasel

Wild animals are powerful creatures!

WARASHI JA NAI MOU

hahahahahaha

komari you dunce

Knitting is pretty hard work though
I mean the basic action is easy and comfy to get a repetition for
But shaping the piece into an actual article of clothing is rough

>Natsumi, help
Does asking Natsumi for help ever turn out okay

these sisters are bakas

THEY'RE ALL BAKAS THEY'RE KIDS

>>925220
take it back
renge is not a baka

Renge is absolutely a baka

renge is a tensai and i will accept nothing else

You can be both a tensai and a baka

renge is bot ha tensai and a tensai

...
Honestly this one is on Komari
What on earth was that supposed to be.

yeah i don't know

he doesn't even have a voice actor, does he

Nope
In the English localization credits roll at the end his name is listed but for seiyuu it's just ???
I haven't ever looked at the ED credits to see if there's something there.

he has anime figures in his room

Well he does kinda look like an otaku, doesn't he

Oh she's already getting in waaaaaaaay over her head

it looks like he enjoys monogatari, hatsune miku, and catgirls
therefore
he has good taste

I see a Haruhi in there too
And I think its a catgirl Rei and Asuka beside her too.

>Curry filled with sugar, would that even be good
At least she's asking the right questions.

most japanese curries are pretty sweet

Fair enough
I think for curry you generally use a brown sugar though, not white.

i use honey

Maybe the Japanese use milk instead of cream for curry
But curry as I've seen it that needs a dairy addition like that pretty much always use cream or yoghurt.

the japanese recipe i followed last time, i didn't use milk or cream i don't think
but most the time when i make a curry i use coconut milk

Oh yeah, that's true
For more SEA-based curry they'd probably use coconut milk

indian ones too, pretty often
but i also hate being traditionalist about it
i tend to just appropriate flavors and ingredients into my own way of doing things
i made a japanese curry with sweet potatoes and chicken instead of regular potatoes and beef once and it was pretty great

Well yeah, no need to be stiff about food
When I make minced chili I tend to make it more like a curry or jambalaya

also i add the magical trio of soy sauce, mirin, and rice vinegar to almost everything i make
unless i'm going with a mirepoix kind of package or a mushrooms and worcestershire package

Looks like next episode fast-forwards pretty quickly into the heart of winter.
Seems like a lot of snow.

this episode was pretty okay
hard to beat the last two though
those were some of the best NNB episodes yet

Onii-chan doesn't even have credits listed in the Japanese ED credits roll
Why did they bother including him in the localization credits

thanks for anime!
the back half of this season is really heating up

Yup, thanks
I guess Rika passed out somewhere around the start of NNB

>>925257
It's been fun
I always make a point of enjoying what I watch but it's nice when the shows make it easy for me.

>>925258
to pass out to NNB on a sunday night sounds like a wonderful end to weekend
god speed rika
