^{Episode 11-13}

oaky so we should try to avoid bang shows

i know nomad is one of them
back arrow

what else can we do

He can probably be here tonight though

Yeah he'll be here
So we can do the stuff we don't need -we do need him for

okay
i may take off a little early too, need to wake up early

well i don't raelly know what to pick off this list


is bang going to be here now or later

Mars was really good
Sentouin was the show about the spy agent and his android loli written by the KonoSuba atuhor
86 is probably something of a near-future military action I think, that's probably pretty cool
Bishounen Tanteidan is a SHAFT show written by nisioisin, but rather than cute girls it's a lot of pretty boys
Hige wo Soru and Koi to Yobu are the age-gap romances from last week that are good picks because Bang was down for both of them
Fumetsu no Anata e is an adaptation of a manga by the creators of A Silent Voice, which KyoAni turned into that fantastic movie a few years back

That should be a slimmer list of things to make a pick from

but is bang going to be here now or later

He should be here as soon as we're good to go I figure

mars
sentouin
86
subakono
fumetsu

okay i'm here
sry trying to into crypto

mars
OKAY
lets start

VamPYRE
We gotta put the pyre back in vampire

>>936812
Beep boop Rika

quick second, contacts

ready
sorry, things and stuff

glorious daksu

we don't know where the ducks went that day

Oh I like the sound of this OP
The music was a strong point of the first episode so I'm hoping that keeps up

I guess if vampire existence is being kept secret from the public, most people would assume people burning up in sunlight to be spontaneous human combustion

This shota seems like he wants to make trouble

BAMpire

I wonder what's the difference between vampires with red eyes and ones with blue eyes
These two soldiers and the guy with pink hair have red eyes
But this white-haired chuuni and the shota vampire have blue eyes

Being a soldier in a vampire show is tough
the mad doc has it good though

Well it looks like the vampire soldiers in their unit are hard to kill
The gruff one got shot like half a dozen times and was fine
They just gotta be back indoors by dawn

There's some cool curios in this shop
I guess it's a, not quite a pawn shop, but there's a similar concept that existed in this time period in Japan

For how dour he acts, the MC sure is a romantic

Seems like this substance the vampires are drinking acts as both blood and some kind of addictive substance
The wife of this pair seemed worried about what it was doing to her husband

Oh the MC's attendant got bit
I wonder if he's dead or just infected now

oh that didnt look comfy

Did he lose his hand there?
Or is he just not using it because it's still injured

He shoved it in the vampire's mouth and then acted like it was completely unuseable afterwards

prosthetic?

sentouin
okay
lets start

Whether it was a prosthetic or not, that hand is totally gone now
The fact that he didn't risk infection and that it's not absolutely seeping blood makes me think it might've been prosthetic though, yeah

Very Shiki from Kara no Kyoukai-poi

ready

Mars Red is super interesting
i'm really liking it
there's so much to take in
i might rewatch 1 and 2 before 3

Yeah I kinda want to go check episode one now to see if he was using that arm or if they just did a good job of pretending it was a working arm

blue haired girl is gonna get abused a lot this series

oh good a chuuni

Hah hah hah he responded in turn

>>936839
Almost makes you wonder if the author has a thing for bullying blue-haired girls

Oh she's actually a chimera kinda

That's what happens when you tease

Wow

He does seem to be a natural for earning Evil Points though

lol

>Eat every demon beast in the world
She's sure ambitious

shotgun is powerful

Having an Actual Gun in a world of sword and sorcery is a big advantage yeah

Wow she's gonna roast and eat the grunt

wow
he's losing to the big booby demon before she's even fully introduced herself

Losing? I think he's the one winning here

IM IN

They're all abandoning him
I'd say poor guy but he's the kind of person who deserves a lot of the misery he receives

Aw the poor griffon ;_;

Time to see if he can actually put money where his mouth is
Oh the demon ran
What a coward

oh no
she's gonna die every episode

Maybe not every episode if there's a ritual needed to bring her back
Or they could wave past it once it's happened once
But I think it'll only happen occasionally

Now she's got a proper modern wheelchair instead of the rickety wooden one
They're sure having some fun

wait she just kicked her
what

Maybe she can kick but not walk

Oh
Well okay

did she die from that

It's not like she needs to build CON when she just comes back from death

it kinda just suddenly ended in the PV

86
okay
lets start

They got their implied punchline across
And don't want to spend too much time on the PV
Best alot as much time as possible to the actual show

86

This is one of those LN series that got real popular in recent years
I saw quite a bit of chatter for a while saying it was what people expected to get an anime pretty soon
So it was pretty much due time it did

wow what a uniform

it's like a classier version of the magic school bastard instructor uniforms

It seems mostly servicable

This lady on the screen really looks like she's deep in the propaganda soup

What slovenly soldiers
Also literally everyone has the same hair and eye colour
Well there's a bit more difference in the eyes, but it's still all pretty close

I'm guessing these "unmanned" drones that are doing the fighting are rather not staffed by this upper class of white-haired, blue-eyed people
And are manned by the lowerclass

i'm assuming they're like clones
being Ender's Game'd

I'd think that if there was literally any different people in this socierty
Society even
But they're all obvious some kind of eugenics thing
So I think the people that don't make the beauty cut get used as bodies for the war

I like this thread.

her desktop icons all over her screen
lol

Pretty accurate for a scatterbrained scientist type
They can definitely be at times indifferent to stuff like that

The name made me think this would be edgy but it's really not been

It's definitely gonna get darker before too long

I mean honestly it's already pretty dark they're just hiding it behind this light veneer
There's a war going on where an upperclass of eugenicized people are controlling a bunch of lower-class citizens as soldiers like it's some kind of war game

oh things just got worse

Man even her units don't like her
Not that I blame them
I don't think they could like any one from this upperclass of people if they've been forced into fighting for them

I haven't been paying attention to these dates that have been popping up
But I think they've been jumping around a bit chronologically

Geez

What an endearing lot of characters
I wonder how many of them will die

Well I didn't mean that quickly.

>Fuckin' glory to the spearhead squadron

Oh the original character designer for this is shirabii
They do some good art

Man
I liked that
But it also got me really, really bitter
The premise is everything I absolutely despise about war

yeah that was pretty good

suba kono
okay sorry
let's start

switching my laundry over
1 min

I'm hoping this will be good, but I'm not holding my breath
If you're familiar with an old DS game, localized in the west as The World Ends With You, this is an adaptation of that game
It's actually a great game, highly stylized with some extremely unique game mechanics, and a pretty interesting plot
But it's still a game, making this a anime a game adaptation
And those are very much always a big coin-toss on whether they'll be good or bad

>>936896
Bwaka bwaka

ready
i tripped
like a b aka

SHI BU YA

Scramble Crossing is a super cool place though
I was there last time I was in Tokyo
Even saw Hachiko, but only from a short distance

this is almost like konosuba backwards

When I first saw the show come up with subs I half-mistook it for KonoSuba
I'd forgotten its Japanese name

Oh yeah the game also had some GREAT music
I'm hoping they bring it back for this adaptation

It's a lot different than konosuba though.

They've tweaked Neku's character a bit since the game
He was much, much more obstinate and uncooperative at the start

DAY 2

When Neku and Shiki first meet in the game, he calls her weird and basically runs off, not interested in cooperating with her
It's only when he literally is about to die that he agrees to
The way he's acting in this anime is similar to how he is in the game, but toned down a lot
Which probably helps, since he's a bit unlikeable at first in the game

Okay this is more in-line with his personality

Best boy is here

They're not doing a good job of noticing the band people are able to talk with them

the plot structure is strange to me
is this what shonen are like?
i feel like maybe not
i haven't seen a shonen that wasn't a sports anime in a long time tho

This is a game adaptation, so it's not quite shounen
I think it might feel a bit weird because they're able to cut out the parts that involve moving through random encounters and having to spend time fighting the bosses
So the plot is moving faster than a game normally would.
It's also structured to be mysterious and weird

As the game proceeds the rules and logic of the world are detailed and things begin to make sense

Yeah it was Neku that made sense of it all.

hmmm
i was hoping it would be something i could watch without having played the game
but i'm thinking maybe it's not
there wasn't really anything going on to drive my interest

Sorry I'm quiet tonight, very sleepy

just chilling and watching

fumetsu
okay
l
ets start

i have to wake up really early, i think i have to cut out for now
i'll watch fumetsu on my own if you guys still want to watch it though

We could save it and do something we don't need you for if you can make another night
There's a good number of things we don't need you for.

>>936917
Bingo

>>936914
Do you want to do something we don't need Bang for, like Fruits or Dragon, or do Fumetsu anyway, or would you rather get some sleep?

...

yeah i'm always around
a quick discord message or steam message can reach me most nights

86 was super interesting!
thanks for anime~

>>936918
Yeah, it definitely caught my attention
But it also got me pretty angry

>>936916
That's fine, only one more to go

So we're watching Fumetsu then?

This is a pretty weird series
I think it runs in one of the other big shounen magazines that isn't Jump, but it's a very unusual premise and execution

>>936921
Yeah.

Lots of snow

Kinda feels like an iceage
I'm pretty sure there were hunter-gatherer societies in some of the most recent ice ages.

Hungry dog.

Oh it's not quite imitating animals properly
That almost sounded like it was trying to impersonate the human's voice

I dunno how much faith I'd put in a stone with an arrow marker on it
Especially one totally buried in snow
What if there's another message under it saying "BAD"

Kid's tough though
Trekking through
Oh no
Ah that's real bad

I imagine injuries are common there and he's used to dealing with them.

I'm more worried about plunging into a frozen river in the middle of a blizzard
That's the kind of thing that steals the life from you in a day or two

Reminds me of girls last tourt

Did you ever see how the manga of it ended?

I think I did, yeah.

He's given up acting like his leg's not a problem
That was a full on limp there
It also kinda looks like there's a swelling
But maybe he's got something under the bandage to absorb blood

Yeah this is suddenly not going well for him

It kinda never was
He was keeping positive but without a clear destination in mind, wandering an arctic wasteland is kind of suicide.

I hope our protagonist doesn't die
that would be depressing

Our protagonist isn't this boy
Not yet at least

This was a sad thing to end the night on.

I'm familiar with the earlier parts of this manga, but it's been a while since I read it
So I didn't know we'd hit these story beats so fast

Yeah, that was aggressive paced
I'll look forward to this next week.

But see?
Now our protagonist is the boy!

This is a very Utada Hikaru-y sounding song

Oh because it is her, hah hah

I wonder if the rest of the series will move as fast as it did here
Because I'll be quickly left in the dark as to what happens if it does
I only read, hm, I can't remember how many chapters
But it wasn't too much. It was back when it was first starting its serialization.

If I'd known it was gonna cover up to the point it did, I probably would've encouraged watching something comfier like Fruits or Dragon a bit harder
It was definitely a good episode but it did hit that emotional point pretty hard
