it is uncharacteristic of him to have not replied by now hopefully he'll show up soon
Anno
well i don't know if we should watch anything without him probably not i'm okay with waiting hopefully it doesn't set anime back too far during the week
Yuu
Yeah, we shouldn't watch all the best stuff without him. Are you available tomorrow?
Anno
i can be here tomorrow i might not be able to stay super late but i can fit at least a few shows there's also a chance work is cancelled on tuesday
Yuu
Yeah, I'm sure he won't miss two days in a row.
well, we'll watch what we can watch. And can do the rest later
There's a vaguely ancient-Egyptian vibe to this place Both in locational appearance and the aesthetic of its people.
Anno
did they... dye his hair....
Anno
Honestly if you place so much weight in something like one facet of someone's appearance, it does get pretty easy to disguise someone
Anno
they aren't showing his face lol
Anno
They probably have to also do something about his gem too though.
Anno
wow eris looks (and i don't say this without some hesitation) cute in that cloak
Anno
what the hell is going on here this kid is checking his charisma real hard
Anno
Hah hah Rudy
Anno
wow
Anno
rudy please
Anno
Woah This guildlady Has one too many
Anno
This is probably a situation where Rudy and his group are probably overqualified for the starting rank they've been assigned.
Yuu
Lots of weird looking characters.
Anno
is this whole city full of demons?
Anno
They're on the demon continent, which by all accounts seems to be Australia So yeah, basically.
Anno
rudy really is one hell of a character right now though i almost feel like mr superd is the MC and rudy is like some weird guide character
Anno
Oh here's the atypical berserker Eris Looks like Rudy managed to mend the situation
>>926811 In fairness there's definitely a focus on Rujierd right now Since they're on his turf and he's got a lot of history.
Anno
his name is gablin lol
Yuu
Nice name
Anno
Oh it's the Gamemaster again
Yuu
I guess they're going to have little chats now and then
Anno
Could've been a better god to give him these dream conversations though This one is generally kind of annoying.
Anno
ruijerd seems like a pretty powerful friend
Anno
I'm always a bit anxious how much of him is geniune compassion versus duty If his tolerance dries up it generally becomes easy to question your duty.
Anno
Eris' enthusiasm is really endearing She just needs an active lifestyle like this.
Anno
I guess we're seeing some of the reasons even despite Rujierd's attempts to garner good faith, people still fear him Guy has a strong moral code and is RELENTLESS about it
Anno
the god of humans is weird
Anno
the bug's body is shadowed out
Yuu
Oh no he said the word
Anno
man eris really is rudy-crazy
Anno
Yeah. She's still pretty tsundere, but she says a lot of deredere things about Rudy
Anno
Horse eyes are really off-putting to me.
Yuu
That horse is scary looking
Anno
horse masks are already scary enough but anthro-horseman is actually terrifying and i hate it
Anno
i really liked that episode so far this show has been pretty impressive it might my favorite really it's only contending with wonder egg
Anno
It's neat how they've kinda become isekai'd in their own isekai world
Anno
epiphany an isekai about the son of an isekai'd salaryman who has become a noble in a high fantasy setting who gets tossed into modern-day japan
Yuu
That's true, it's doublt isekai
okay kumo spider okay lets start
Anno
>>926832 Reverse isekai like that is a bit uncommon, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was an isekai out there that covers at least the first half of that premise.
Anno
orange
Anno
Oh she wants to teleport
Anno
Wonder if she'll actually be able to move up to the next part of this underworld Judging from the naming sense, Lower, Middle, and Upper, if she can get through this upcoming Upper Stratum part of it, she might be able to escape into the actual world.
Anno
i would totally play a fighting game in this world i'd probably main the advisor to demon-loli
Anno
Schlain seems to have quite a few brothers A bit surprising he got the Hero title and not them.
Anno
i wonder how they feel about not being heroes and isn't it strange for the hero to die
Anno
Well the short-haired one seems to either be pragmatic, or a bit salty about it.
>>926840 Heroes are mortal too! A Maou like the one we've been seeing does seem like they might need a few Heroes thrown at them before they go down
Anno
big spiders are apparently very evil oh no spiders killed his nii-sama
Yuu
>queen tactaract
I do kinda wonder if the stuff with kumo-chan is actually in the past it doesn't make sense that she was born after everyone else was teenagers what if she's the queen tactaract
Anno
It's definitely possible, yeah.
Anno
i'm thinking that the elf girl told them a lie because she didn't want them to know that spider-chan was an all-powerful spider queen
Anno
also spiders seem to be naturally very evil-inclined especially with all the evil choices they have as they level up
Anno
Well a lot of these isekai authors are tabletop nerds And have probably played some thing like D&D at some point Most monstrous creatures in those systems are usually some kind of Something Evil by classification
Anno
The human side of this Human/Maou war really seems to be getting rolled though.
Anno
>This is a story from fifteen years ago It keeps happening
Honestly it happens so much I swear it almost feels like a red herring.
Yuu
It really makes you think.
Anno
this ronandt guy was so cool a few minutes ago
Anno
Hah hah hah If Kumoko-chan has managed to create an environmental hazard by chasing out the native species of the labyrinth That would be something else
Yuu
well She's been killing and eating everything
Anno
It definitely makes sense But it's pretty funny.
Yuu
It's hard to see Kumo-chan attacking humans though.
Anno
Yeah I know what you mean Maybe she can convince herself to do so as a part of her "kill or be killed" mentality she's been engaging in
Yuu
This sure does seem like her.
Anno
Yeah, plus it has a lot of the same skills she does And maybe this is how she seems to the rest of the world, not the cutesy way we see her.
But at the same time, the fact that it's not undeniably her makes me feel they're kinda leading us on here. It's like, too correct to be true, you know?
Anno
holy hell she's powerful
Anno
he's a summoner!
Yuu
Dod sje did she kill those mooks or just knock them out
im guessing she's knocking them out
Anno
Probably, yeah
Yuu
Oh that was her evil eye curse on the turtle.
Anno
Rock Turtle is already dead!
Anno
Ronaldt lost an arm there by the looks of it
Yuu
Okay it seems like sh e wasn't going easy on the humans and all the mooks are still there and one of the mooks had a hole in him
Anno
i think she let him finish the spell so she could transcribe it the way she stole the wind spell from the bird
Anno
It's definitely the kind of cunning you come to expect from Kumoko
Anno
WAIT HER CAPE IT HAD A BUNCH OF SPIDER LEG THINGS
Anno
Yeah, it has for a while now
Anno
it wasn't as obvious before
Anno
If it really was her there that slaughtered all those humans Talking about chewing them out and crying it was self-defense sure is ... kind of psychopathic She was a human in her past life!
Anno
i mean she said // she wiggled her arms around and made spider noises right before they surrounded her
but she seems to be losing her mind a little bit well more than a little bit
also the most powerful human mage thinks she's way out of his league, with unimaginable power and she's like still leveling up
i'm guessing ronald-kun is more powerful 15 years later though
Anno
The Japanese word for taboo being "kinki" is still funny to me
Anno
>>926874 She's been all but entirely isolated in an underground dungeon having to fight for her life on a daily basis I don't entirely blame her for going more than a little crazy, but she does seem to very happily abandon any sense of empathy for human beans the moment she's in danger.
Yuu
well she has a lot of crazy evil skills knocking around in her head
jaku okay lets start
Anno
Time for the barbeque party!
Anno
orange. we've only got a few episodes left
Anno
Well it's a popular LN series Always a chance we'll get more seasons some while down the line.
Anno
This is a good Rika
Anno
riajuuuuuuuuuuuu
Anno
Riajubakuhatsu!
Anno
Oof Poor useless-kun
Anno
why can't he just be himself now
Anno
You're never really yourself anyway The authentic self doesn't real after all
Anno
sounds like something tilde would say
Anno
It's the truth!
Anno
wow i almost forgot who izumi is, and then they have her wearing a choker and suddenly she's best girl why does my brain work like this
Anno
You do have a type, eh
Anno
chokers are cute
Anno
No comment
Anno
This Takei guy does seem like a bit of a dweeb
Yuu
He's enjoying normie life
Anno
You can be a nerd and enjoy social engagements like this! Nothing like enjoying some sun and good barbeque
Anno
Wow
I was about to say something about Takei being oblivious to the mood and just butting in But it looks like his dumbness might've helped with those two getting a good moment
Anno
Dansei taruku
Anno
alright this is actually literally teenage bullshit
Anno
Yeah, duh They're teenagers What else would they be getting up to
Anno
Hah hah hah Tomozaki and Aoi get really competitive with each other Even over stuff like card games
Anno
It is kind of nice to have friends like this though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit envious
Anno
Tomozaki has been garnering a bit of a reputation as the straight and blunt friend of the group That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is something that can be dangerous if
YuuAnno
What the fuck
Anno
WOW
Anno
OOF
Anno
what the heck
Yuu
wow
Anno
This poor big guy though He seems as dense as a rock
Anno
i hate this
Anno
I love this
Yuu
This girl is crazy.
Anno
ALRIGHT HINAMI THAT FINGER STROKE WAS TOO FAR
Anno
Oh my
Anno
uhhh
Anno
fuuka.....
Anno
It's okay, any actual intimate thing is probably just Aoi playing Though she does seem not too good with bugs. I'd assume she's still mostly in control of herself though.
Yuu
okay NNB
okay lets start
Anno
>>926923 but what if she _is_ in control of herself
Anno
orenji >>926929 i'm thinking if i were to be in charge of bets being placed i'd put the odds at 3:1, favoring that she's just doing it for some reason or another but she's also kind of a self-serving sociopath and her real intentions often seem obscured and the way she talks about fuuka and tomozaki always has so little respect for emotion
i'm just saying if this ends up being a subversion of expectation, i'm gonna hate hinami
Anno
>>926926 Then you shouldn't expect her to be doing anything more than playing with Tomozaki Because there's no way she sees him in any kind of romantic way right now
>>926927 Judging from how you talk about her, it sounds like you're most of the way there anyway
Anno
That last New Years card was kind of nice.
Anno
that kadomatsu reminded me of korone's new year's stream
Anno
tokyo tower
Anno
Hah hah hah She just immediately started demanding Ren-chon help her beg too
Yuu
I wonder how candy shops like that really stay in business she can't be making much
Anno
Candy doesn't really go bad And it is out in the sticks She, or her family, probably own the building too, so she's not paying rent.
Anno
hahahahahahaaha hikage you fool you foolish fool
Anno
She's such a brat Wild to imagine she's sisters with Ren-chon
Anno
it makes perfect sense hikage took all the evil upon herself when she was born so that renge could be born a hero
Anno
wow the stars in her eyes
Anno
BOURGEOIS EAT THE RICH
Anno
konomi has to be the most powerful
Yuu
Is the author of this female? let's see
Anno
They go by a penname and seem to have not made a point of stating their gender Could go either way
Anno
i couldn't find out in less that 30 seconds of googling so it's too much for me
Yuu
Yeah, it's a penname this site says male but maybe that's just the default option
Anno
>>926944 Ren-chon did ask her to help set Hika-nee straight
Anno
This snowstorm sure is something We only just finally left winter here recently I don't appreciate all this snow!
Anno
The speed at which these girls can jump into a bit and stick with it is astonishing
Yuu
The script writer for the anime is female though.
Anno
If all they're going to do is an improv skit and Manzai comedy Coudn't they just do this all indoors
Anno
hahahahahaahahahaa she's just watching from inside
Anno
Hah hah hah They totally hit her with the "Sir this is a Wendy's" right there at the end
Anno
that bit was great i liked that
Anno
Geez it's absolutely snowed out there It makes me anxious just seeing it.
Anno
weird how it was like that in austin for a whole week that never happens
Anno
We didn't get much of that here this year
Anno
Maybe like one or two real snowfalls Though this city also generally gets the easy life when it comes to snowfall since the Great Lakes help a lot with messing with weather patterns
Anno
Now you know they're friends!
AnnoAnno
that was a good episode this is probably my favorite season of NNB
Anno
I wonder if they'll work up to a sort of finish before the season is over Since the manga concluded this February
Yuu
Everything is well established so it's easy for it to be comfy and casual now
thanks for anime!
>>926966 oh wow it concluded I guess that means we can get a proper end
