Anno
Horimiya Idoly Pride Episode 8-11 Kai Byoui Ramune Episode 3-6 Log Horizon Episode 7-11 Show By Rock Soukou Musume Senki Tenchi Souzou Design-bu Episode 7-11 World Trigger
Yuu
world trigger soukou musume design horimiya idoly pride
slim pickings tonight
Anno
Well we're getting towards the end of the season And a lot of the heavy hitters have wrapped already At least we still have a few good things for tonight
Yuu
world trigger okay lets start
Anno
Sorry I'm here now We're finally caught up in this
Yuu
Lots of strategy this episode.
Anno
The mangaka really does like their tactics I wonder how well it translates on the page I know there's some absolutely awful Hunter x Hunter manga chapters that are just walls of text separated by comic panels. I mean they're interesting worldbuilding or even actually fun dialogue But visually it's just static images of people standing around talking
Anno
Spoken sure like a cynical adult But I do think some precautions around Hyuse are a smart idea
Yuu
yeah they'd be extremely foolish not to be cautious of him
Anno
Oh yeah I was thinking this last episode, but that red team did seem to have four members So I guess the teams aren't limited to a trio when participating in the matches That means being able to get Hyuse in their squad will be a real boon.
Anno
This blackcoat squad is being really clever They're gunning straight for Osamu from the beginning He's finally getting the respect he deserves!
Yuu
Looks like their plan got sniffed out.
Anno
Yeah I thought this might be Osamu's counter-trick Force an encounter between the other squads I guess they're not -so- concerned with Osamu that they're willing to make a truce to take him out
Yuu
Well that worked out really well for Osamu.
Anno
Kinda His squad still needs to be the one taking others out to score points after all He doesn't get any credit for setting up the KO And I think having the red team lose a member is less beneficial than the black team losing one Imagine if the black team had lost their member there Chika and Kuga would've eliminated the other two with ease
Yuu
well that was intense at the end
soukou musume okay lets start
Anno
Time for the final assault here I wonder if the MC will get to go back to her own world after it's all over
Anno
Well it's nice their AI uncle didn't get blown up when he kamikaze'd the truck
Yuu
I'm guessing they probably won't get to go home
Anno
I guess no one ever taught her how to ditch the parachute hah hah
Anno
Having your special ultimate attack just being a self-destruct sure must suck Who wants to blow up
Yuu
MAybe it just de-summons the suit?
Anno
I could see it maybe having a pilot eject button But even then it would probably be a dangerous final attack to use Since any remaining monsters would be able to converge on you, now completely unarmed
Yuu
I bet it's somethingl ike in the game she self-destructs if she goes out of health but is back the next battle that's an ability units often have
Anno
Yeah, which is why I think the in-world function would have the pilot ejecting out
Anno
Nate you snide AI
Anno
Oh the old otaku gave them something to keep them from getting dragged across temporal dimensions That's probably a good thing.
Anno
She's STILL missing Whoever thought it was a good idea to make her the sharpshooter
Yuu
I guess we're going to see what the self-destruct entails oh yeah it just desummons the suit
Anno
Well I think the suit blowing up entails a bit more than just desummoning it
Anno
Oh right, the thing anchoring her to this dimension was a part of her suit So it blowing up means she was at risk of getting pulled into the big fracture. Maybe that's what the old otaku was worried about.
Yuu
I'm sure her suit will be ok too and the show will go on guess we'll find out next ep tho
Anno
Bit of a surprise to me I was pretty sure we'd only get the usual twelve episodes for this show.
Anno
Oh hah hah Unless it just ends here That would be kinda funny
Anno
Bit of a sudden ending
Yuu
okay design okay lets start
Anno
Episode seven (7) of this
Anno
What kind of design request is that even What a tiresome client
Anno
>Animal that's watching even though it seems like nothing's there Oh yeah the angel's on the right idea, even if he's got the wrong animal Sounds like it's a high-camoflage animal
Anno
Well that request went by pretty smoothly
Yuu
wow that's terrifying
Anno
I like the sensibility of science this series has They talk about the inherent limitations of the biological world in a fun way.
Anno
That kinda looks like an alien
Anno
Oh hah hah hah It IS an alien
Anno
This alien keeps getting more and more absurd
Yuu
wow they even make aliens
Anno
Well I think this Yeah The size was off but as soon as they added the fur I thought I recognized the animal.
Anno
Oh they're still working with the base prospect of an alien
Anno
I didn't know elephants could hear through their feet That's pretty cool.
Anno
Are they making an owl? The high neck rotation and the super-directional ears feel very owl-like.
Yuu
It seems like it will end up being an owl.
Anno
Owls are cool Best bird Like the only bird that's not an asshole.
Anno
Yeah owl skeletons are -really- weird You'd never know it from the way an owl looks all decked out with feathers
Anno
YES GREAT HORNED OWL BEST OWL
Anno
I love the perpetually grouchy way great horned owls look
Yuu
okay horimiya okay lets tsart
Anno
Reaaaady
Anno
Cute imouto
Anno
I guess with how structured the difference between formal and casual Japanese is, if you get into the serious habit of talking to everyone in the formal manner, it gets hard to drop it so easily
Yuu
I'm sure it's just like english some people have more relaxed speaking style than others
Anno
Yeah, that's fair I was kind of stiff a lot when I was younger And honestly I think my ability to speak relaxedly is something I've had to practice and observe to get.
Anno
Oh it's the kouhai again She's kinda fun
Anno
Yeah that must be bizarre Just someone coming up to you out of the blue and grabbing something out of your hands, without a word, and then running off once the task is done
Yuu
I feel like all these characters look a little more chibi than usual
Anno
Yeah no, I've been noticing that too A lot of very chibi-esque faces
Anno
Man just to show how dated this series is The guy's flipping through a newspaper No kid his age would be reading out of a newspaper in this day and age.
Yuu
Maybe he's trying to learn hard kanji
Anno
He's a considerably different person at home than he is at school Feels much more serious and he's getting pretty mad for his imouto's sake
>>929511 I don't think Japanese newspapers have that much hard Kanji They are meant to be read by the masses, after all. At his level of reading comprehension he should get 95% or so of what's mentioned in them
Anno
Hah hah I guess if you see Hori and Miyamura in the same house without them being together, they would kinda seem like siblings.
Anno
BA NA NA
Yuu
>>929512 I've been told they have lots of hard kanji and they're hard to read
Anno
Hm, all right Maybe it's one of those things that flies in the face of what should be sensible Japan does kinda have a lot of that.
Yuu
okay idoly pride 8 okay lets start
Anno
Time for some aidoru activities
Anno
They really just kinda off-screen all the actual idol work The show is always the training or them relaxing and havin g fun
Yuu
that outfit she was wearing was super cute
Anno
It looks like Producer-kun was starting to put the pieces together himself
Anno
Also it's still weird how he's been haunted by Mana for like two years now but he still can't properly keep the fact that he can see her subtle
Anno
The imouto already had her near-spirit-break in this show Way back earlier in the series she almost gave up idol-ing So I can't imagine she'll do it a second time just because she's being kind of downplayed compared to her sister and the other leader girl
