so we drove back
and then i went home
rough day
>>939107 (OP)
i'm taking this image

oh snap it's Mars Red day!

Congratulations?
That sounds like an all around waste of everyone's time

>>939117
yeah it also means i basically had the day off
congratulate me now thankls

Are you salaried or did you not get paid for it

salaried
we'll still have to do it eventually

Ah well congratulations then

ty

congrats bang

okay

mars red
fumetsu
what else are we watching with bang

need something less comfy for spot #3

then
koi
hige

Dynazenon could work for show three

i do like dynazenon
but i like most of the shows we have left
sunday and monday are blessed days this season
non-stop bangers

Is that what we're calling shows you watch in a season now

okay that works

mars red
play
okay
lets start

Let's put the pyre in vampyr

ready
had to take my vitamins
and get comfy

the first episode did a good job of making the main character really cool and interesting

He's a respectable oji-san

Wow an actual coffin
Surely vampires can enjoy a perfectly normal bed if there's no sunlight that can leak into their sleeping quarters

i was gonna say the exact same thing
an actual coffin

MC's got two hands again
So I guess one of his arms/lower arms is a fake he can replace.

Bui Birasu

Oh I don't like that

i can respect desiring eternity for the pursuit of solving the mysteries of our plane
that's a good reason to want eternity

What about living forever to chase enjoyment and banal pleasure

a chase that can only last so long

bang

Cute newsboy outfit on reporter lady

I still wonder what the difference between vampires with blue eyes and vampires with red eyes is

Wow THAT is a mustache

yeah it's quite the unit

>English vampire forces
Oh I expect these monsters to be classy as fuck

human hours!

Everyone knows the top military brass are the real monsters

Funny to see the military brass all talking about how if they don't up their game, their military competency will be overtaken by the navy
Which, even in real life Japanese history, is obviously what happened going into WWII

white hair and gas mask is very tokyo ghoul poi

Yeah, it's honestly a bit out of place in this time period
Like all the other characters dress in a way that could conceivably be considered normal for 1930s Japan
Though I guess there really isn't any historical time period that a Tokyo Ghoul-poi outfit would be considered normal, hah hah

awww
what a moment

All these Japanese people are such gosh-darned romantics

mostly just build-up
but still a good episode
>>939153
he's so edgy, i love him

Sentimental stuff is always charming when it's not laid on too thickly
This show does a great job of hitting that sweet spot on the bulls-eye

fumetsu
okay lets start

From wolf-dog to boy
Time for life no.2!

Oh I guess it's really life no.3 because it started as a rock

this image makes me want tea and creme brulee

but there's no tea or creme brulee in the cold arctic abyss

But surely there's tea somewhere in Texas

I mean it's literally in the name.

wow he found some places that aren't snow

wow that bear was huge and bloodied and terrifying

And spiny
Though I guess that might be weapons from previous interactions

Oh yeah this was the show with an Utada Hikaru song
Kind of wild to get an anime with her singing for it

Weird assortment of names in this village

Oh this girl is in the OP
didnt take long to meet her

Hah hah hah
She's not a very good shot

i've got a bad feeling

oh no i have a really bad feeling now

It's okay look how happy she is

This Hayase certainly doesn't mince words

the hairy guards are really scary

They look more comical to me than anything

As a side note, there's kind of a layer of irony in her complimenting her
She called the girl "otonashi", which is the Japanese equivalent to "obedient"
But it derives its root from "otona", or "adult"
So she's saying she's like an adult, being obedient
Which is awfully cruel to say to a girl who will never become an adult

I wonder when our protagonist is going to come into this

Speak of the devil!

Oh
I wonder if he's going to take her form and get sacrificed now

i hadn't thought of that
but that sounds like exactly what will happen now

This is still within the chapters that I read but I'm definitely fuzzy on the details
For some reason I thought he would show up as the spine-bear since he got mauled by it

He doesn't make for a very good travelling partner

I guess he remembers being a dog quite well

She should just eat them up there in the tree

>>939185
He's spent the most time as it so far
And I guess despite imitating the boy's body he didn't bother to pick up on human behaviours

The winning move is for him to copy her and get sacrificed.

>>939188
Yeah I think it will somehow happen though

Sure, but he doesn't know her circumstances
And even if she knew he could shapeshift, it would probably be hard to convey that to him
Since he clearly doesn't really understand language yet.

well that was pretty slow
i wonder if this arc will take more than one more episode

I can't remember if I ever got to end of it or not
But this is more the pace I was expecting from the series
I was surprised when they covered the whole wolf-dog arc in one episode

i think if they didn't do that
it might have been way less effective

what they did with the first episode was very powerful
and probably pulled a lot of people in that might have otherwise not been so effected

interesting episode
the first episode was rather slowly paced too

okay
SSSS
okay
lets start

I've seen some chatter that there's additional depth to this series if you're familiar with the original Dynazenon franchse
Though I'm not clear on the details because the source I read it from didn't go into detail itself
Gridman was the same way though, if you were familiar with the original Gridman you got more out of the series than someone who didn't
Not that it was necessary to enjoy the show, evidently
But more like icing on the cake

Gaaaaaaaay

The girl is doing a better job of growing as a person than the MC is so far
She's actually kinda facing her problems where he's still being kind of mopey

Hah hah I was mostly joking with >>939195 this but it looks like Glasses has really set his eyes on the MC

He's older than I figured him to be if a girl from his school got married and "it was a while ago"
I mean maybe she married fresh out of high school but even then that would put him at around the early twenties.

Oh huh I didn't catch this earlier
Sane lady

yeah i just noticed too

well maybe she's sane but idk

Same, even
I've got limited desk space right now it's hard to type well

is that dude just eating a bowl of crabs
holy shit

Yeah ... whole crabs

I wonder why the smaller kaiju are just appearing all over the place though
These Eugenicists don't seem to be responsible for their appearance, and just take advantage of them appearing

i don't like the short red hair girl
she seems like trouble

It really sucks to have the water vehicle

Maybe in some parts of the world
But there's a lot of waterways and water in general in Japan
Plus it can just gattai with the car one to get around

I respect their sentiment but this really isn't the time to demand an answer from him
It's kind of a busy situation

Hah hah he's got a crush

this gattai music
so operatic

gattai

DYNAZENONNNN
DYNAZENOOOON

that was pretty cool

Gattai is the manifestation of a manly spirit!

Oh shit they're going to space
How cool

Wow did he just get left to die
The rest of the Eugenicists just walked off as he got firebombed

yeah wait what
is that guy gone

oh no

Yeah that's a dangerous line of thought

Oh he's alive hah hah

she seems like the type to have _extreme_ vulnerability to becoming a yandere type character

okay
koi
okay
lets start

Kimo

Man she's got some crazy-high standards

And this hime-cut one likes 'em real old

wow she wants an old guy

And she just wants not-Ryo

SUMO WRESTLERS

And Rio likes 'em FAT

i like em big i like em chunky

His co-workers are gonna get a real misunderstanding of who Ichika is

>>939232
I bet you wouldn't like 'em sumo wrestler-big though

youderu

their walking pace is just slightly too slow
it's weirding me out

Well if she's carrying around a bunch of easels she probably can't move very fast
But it's probably more that this show isn't particularly well-animated
It's not bad but I'd say it errs slightly on the side of mediocre
So lazy animation like that is probably inevitable.

wow rio was straight up about it

Yeah I dunno how appropriate it is to be candid about that

is rio up to something or just weird or dumb

I think she's just doing whatever
She's not wrong that Ryo is pretty open about his crushing on Ichika.
It's only fortunate ambiguousness that's kept it from being outright exposed.
So she's not really obligated to keep it a secret.

yabai oniichan

He's not really that yab
If he was half-competent he'd be much more yabai
But he's such a dork that it dulls any danger he presents

it is kinda hard to tell what's going on in ichika's head
but maybe she's having that issue too

Yeah I think she herself doesn't know what to think about Ryo's advances
She's obviously fallen a bit for the "He's been persistent about pursuing me so I'm a little bit charmed"
But he's also still kind of kimoi
But also a pretty good catch?
Like he's got a good job, he's handsome, resourceful, and reasonably intelligent

i just thought about something from the past and now i want to evaporate forever

You know I kinda first figured Rio's thing about liking sumo wrestlers was her just deflecting since she didn't want to talk romance with her friends
But she really does seem to have a thing for sumo

That Arietty girl was a weird KanaHana role
A very plain character for such a big seiyuu.

>>939248
Well, Kanahana is getting older...

That's true, but she still gets pretty regularly big roles

oh god what if she's playing grandma characters one day

kurisumasu puresento

I guess it helps that she had his imouto to help her shop for him
Because a tie clip is a pretty dignified present for a high school girl to pick out

insider information

Wow she's a bit of an otaku eh
Enough to get super excited over a BD as a present

oh when she was eating fried chicken i thought she got KFC or something

Sounds like she did
She probably prepared the rest of the food and ordered the chicken

oh that makes sense

hige!
okay
lets start

this is one i'm second-most excited for tonight
behind Mars Red

Parenting 101

>>939260
Yeah I really like this one

Wow
That's not exactly subtle

what the
heck

No I think this is more "what the fuck

yeah being a runaway definitely sucks

Unless that was what was responsible for making her a runaway
Which I guess doesn't make being a runaway any less miserable

Just because you might want to doesn't mean you think you should

Kouhai-chan is cute too
He should stop moping over his boss and just date her

oh it's happening faster than she expected

Well she thinks it's happening faster
I'm pretty sure if Kouhai-chan tries to make any serious advances he'll turn her down

dense

She's doing her best to break through his density

Oof yeah
That's a real awful way to do it dude

oh no why did you say that

poor girl
she's gonna beat herself up later for that

Man she's a real cutie
If he's just gonna waste her affections I'd take her up

oh she's trying to
so hard too

Here's another interesting encounter though
I bet this ends up with Kouhai-chan getting let in on their living arrangement

yeah if his OL friend finds out about the high school girl she's shacking up with that will be a mess

Under most circumstances I think it would go that way, yeah
But I think in Kouhai-chan's mind she would get excited at knowing a secret of his like that
Since it would kind of be a foot in the door into his private life.

wow kouhai is pretty cool

Yeah she's quite the romantic
Not beat down by the crushing banality of Japanese office work yet.

And heeeere's where he gets busted

uhoh

Well she's not playing the card yet
But it's a useful one to have.

i think kouhai seems like she'd understand

More than anything I think she needs some psychological help
She's obviously got some screws loose

It's actually touching on stuff I didn't expect them to comment much on.

It's some pretty serious stuff for a LN series

He's very honest.

Yeah, respectably honest
He admitted to being attracted to her but not in love with her
I think that's a good thing to be able to sort out
Plenty of people get physical attraction and emotional attraction mixed up

wow this show is like
mature
just a little bit
that's very refreshing

I really like the MC
It's nice to not have someone who's either kind of weak and flustery, or hyper-sexual

he's like almost a mary sue but not in ways that feel unrealistic
he's maybe even a little self-righteous but in a respectable way
i feel bad for Sayu, she seems to have it really rough
but this arrangement is definitely really good for her

i think i can tell myself that i'd be able to stand in the MC's shoes here without feeling like i'm lying
but i wouldn't put my life on the line for that
i definitely wouldn't be able to get my point across as well as he did

It's fine to be a bit self-righteous anyway
You're the only person who can ever really think you're right anyway

>>939306
Oh I definitely wouldn't trust myself in his shoes
I am not a person of his moral fiber

Most guys are suuuuuuuper cautious around young girls.
His reaction isn't that weird.

i mean, i definitely wouldn't have put myself in this situation
even offering a place to stay is outside my capabilities, i think
i think what would have been difficult is to be approached and touched like that though
that's when things get way more difficult, and the brain starts to lose out
i think i'm pretty strong-willed in my convictions, so i'm mostly sure i could trust myself
but not as powerfully as he did, or as tactfully
definitely not as tactfully
i probably would have been much more rude

I have no convictions!
It's also much harder on me when someone is pushing what they want on me
As long as it's not beyond my comfort or capabilities, it's hard for me to turn down something like that.

good anime
made me use my thinker

thanks for anime, goodnight!

What good did a brain ever do anyone
