Rika come baaaaaaaack

hello

mars red
koi to youbu

tokyo revengers
sentouin
hige

Time for some bampires

okay
mars red
okay
let's start

orange

Reaaaady

general dracula

As far as we know he's a human bean though
He even seems to have normal human eyes

a red sun rises

Japan seems to have a real vampire problem
They're literally everywhere at this point

>You are my pride and joy
>That's why I need to keep you locked up in iron coffins when you're not of functional use to me

It's neat how there's still echoes of the first vampire from episode one
Seems like she's Nakajima, the old man who's got a thing for vampires, daughter
Or granddaughter maybe
Hard to tell with how old he is

Pft
Doraneko
Doracura

this is such an awkward conversation

maeda

maeda pls

It's a good think even after death his waifu is telling him it's a bad idea

what

vampiyah

The Sino-Russian war had a similar effect on the setting for Golden Kamuy too

maeda....

He's colder than I expected him to be
We finally get to see his prosthetic hand in actual though

his fealty to nakajima is pretty intense

If the story about Nakajima saving his life is accurate, I could see why
That combined with the Japanese fanaticism for its military culture that's been stirring for centuries and came to a head during WWII
A general who has a clear view and looks after his men like he did for Maeda, I could see why Maeda holds him in such high regard

Oh no
Yamigamiiiiiiii

sunlight time

that's not how i expected that to go

Maeda's still speared through the side by a piece of rubble though
I feel like unless he goes vampire anyway he's gonna be out of commission for a while recovering from an injury like that

koi
okay
lets start

Kimo

yobu
>>944773
what's the name of hte reporter girl again

>>944774
Uh
Probably Aoi

probably!?

>>944776
I'm not 100% on the names of the minor characters in the show
But according to Wikipedia, the only female regular characters are Misaki and Aoi
Misaki is Maeda's dead fiancee, so by elimination, Reporter-chan is probably Aoi

sorry tilde
we'll never be kindred spirits, accoring to this anime

That's okay
I don't need a kindred spirit

Being an otaku in Japan must be fun

Oh their parents are crashing all the fun they've bene having
Been even
I can't imagine with as poor a relationship as he seems to have with his father
That his father would be in a good mood hearing he's chasing a high school student

She sure has a weird number of older guys that are happy to buy her food and ask her out for stuff like this

the difference is that masuda is actually just an overenthusiastic friendly guy
and ryo is kind of a weirdo

Even Masuda should probably temper his excitement to take a relative stranger of a high school girl out for food.

i don't think he would have asked her to go if he didn't have some sort of friendship with her
it's honestly weird of her to go if she doesn't have the same idea

>>944782
Some girls have an aura that brings them in

>>944786
Speaking from experience?

Ew
Hair in chocolate

masuda is a cool guy

He seems to be living his best life

i don't envy her position

what a strange
OH NO

BARENTINES

tokyo revengers

>>944795
weird

okay
lets start

Oh yeah this episode might be a bit janky, by the way
The TV airing of the episode in Japan has a lot of Manji symbols (the original Swastika), and Crunchyroll seems to, whether out of concern or external pressure, heavily edited their release of the episode to deliberately censor the symbols
I'm not absolutely positive if Subsplease has the Crunchyroll version but it's almost certain they do.

>>944794
Honestly it might be a problem going further
The gang that Boss-kun ends up leading is called the Tokyo Manji Gang for a reason
The symbol features predominantly in their uniform and branding
If Crunchyroll ends up insisting on censoring all the symbols, then it's gonna make for a really cut-up show.

oh i wasn't orange
bakabang
>>944795
yeah i've been considering using another group
erai-rwas uses the tv vers, right?

>>944796
I don't think so
Contrary to their name, Erai-Raws is not actually a raws provider
They just rip from stream services like Crunchyroll, a la HorribleSubs and Subsplease

oh that's weird

Well that's a downside to his time travelling
It's gonna be hard to hold down a job if he's stuck in a coma for weeks on end

Oh Draken dies earlier than I expected him to
And yeah it feels surprising that him and Boss-kun would have such a severe divide that he and Draken form separate factions

when he sees akkun
he's gonna be like
"oh my god i'm so happy you're alive"

Maybe this'll be the

Woah okay

this is gonna be pretty hard
he might have to just relive his whole life
but then what about future him?
i'm gonna be straight up
and i enjoy this show but
straight up
this time travel system sucks

Yeah these guys
These are the Manji dudes

OH NO
OH NO
OH GOD IT IS
ITS HER

I wonder what the chain of events that ended up with him almost having sex with her was
We only got the end of it

Oh she's sweet for Draken
That's kind of cute

The MC here walking like he's Mikey's thirdhandman

a third year middle schooler?
so like
14?

Here's some petty minions who would probably happily follow someone else if they got more power out of it

>>944810
The 00s sure were a wild time

Running Shibuya is still probably a pretty big deal
In the time period they're in right now, Shibuya was a cultural hotspot for youth
Still kinda is, but that was a BIG time for the neighbourhood
It was that time period that inspired stuff like the colour gangs that Durarara used in its storylines

Shot down

It's hard to not be sympathetic for the old man here
Mikey might not've directly done anything wrong, but if you're gonna head a territorial gang
You ought to take responsibility for the damage caused by your territorial strife

Yeah, they're nuisances.

show is weird

I think it's neat how it's taken the one mission of changing the past to save the girl and expanded it into this stuff with gang politics
There was a lot of activity like this in the 90s and 00s in Tokyo and framing the personal problems in that is fun

i think the show is neat because of the time period and the themes
the setting and premise is cool, but i'd rather it didn't have the whole time travel premise at all
it would be better if it was just about the past
it kind of reminds me of the assassin's creed games
there's this dichotomy where one time-space is just annoying and interrupting to the other (in most of the games0
)

It would need a totally different main character if that was the case
He's far too meek and incompetent to make a difference without knowing what's going to happen
Actually yeah never mind I'm not going to get to finish this train of thought without being interrupted
I'll just keep it to myself

>>944819
i hate to say it but the main character is not really anything irreplacable though
the intrigue here is not very strongly coming from him
he's pretty run-of-the-mill protagonist with a shitty time travel constraint
>>944819
i know you hate it when i start replying mid-post but if you really think the second half of your post was going to make the difference and that stopping there is somehow better then whatever man

i'm saying the time-travel layout is to the story's detriment, and that i personally think the show would be better if it was just about the events which unfold in the past
restructuring the narrative (and characters, only two of which need minor changes) to fit that is also a pretty simple task, which was the point i was getting at at the beginning of this post

now if you just disagree and don't feel it's worth it to contend, you can say that
but implying that the problem
no, sorry, directly indicating that the problem is me beginning to respond to you before your post is nice and tidily finished is kind of low and pointless

I think the protagonist will eventually grow and become strong.

He has strong values.

sentouin

oh
sorry
okay
lets start

god, why get in a tussy about discussing a show

orange

Reaaaady

I wonder if they ever get off this planet in the series
So far they've spent the whole of the series on it

Grim is a cute angry single lady

beelzebub from slime 300 and the demon lady in this show occupy the same .jpeg in my brain drive

This author seems to have a real sweet spot for small girls who are kind of dumb
Chimera-chan and Megumin have a pretty similar vibe and they both get doted on a fair bit in their respective series

Is six gonna do something decent
oh nope

I'm fairly certain he'll end up doing a good thing
It just won't be as clear-cut as agreeing to help
Ah well maybe Snow breaking a bit will make him come around

Yeah, he's shitty even at being evil.

he seems to be getting his evil in at night

He's also shitty at being a hero!

OH NO
SNOW IS GOING TO
oh that's not as bad

oh
yup
she did

Even if she doesn't really want him to
She's agreeing to this in a sense
Can that really count as him being evil

the robot is the best

See if he REALLY wanted to be evil here
This is when he slugs Snow

he's just optimizing his evil
that's all

This is good too though

is she using her robot eyes to be his scope
and aiming the gun

I guess that defeats my doubts that Alice isn't a robot

maybe she just has really good vision...

and can aim a gun from the side, using her hand to move the barrel

R-Buzzsaw

wow that is a really wicked sword

I think it's more chainsaw than sword

Oh he has a time limit.

he's releasing his limiter!
>>944850
i trust he'll manage to mess up within the time limit

Sounds like it's the time limit of his supersuit again though

Wow he actually gets a pretty cool moment
Even if he is also kinda just trashing the room
I totally expected some kind of gag like his suit refusing to engage his superpowers or something

wow he cut EVERYTHING
the only things that survived in that room is the girls

At least he's got indiscriminatory good taste when it comes to that

Oh my

wait she's saying really reasonable adult things
WAIT HE'S
OH LORD IN HEAVEN

HES DEAD

Fucking hell Six

He was IN
but he screwed it up

she was kind of cute when she was acting like a person

At this point I think he's more interested in fucking with her than actually fucking her
Like the latter would be great and all but the former is more fun.

>>944861
Yeah I liked her a lot better then.

Also he acts like a rascal but I think he's probably sweet on the girl back home who's also crushing on him
So while he wouldn't refuse a one night stand, he was also being honest about not being into Snow.

anti-balding-guy

he's not evil enough

alice-sama is right
he's really lucky she's willing to stay with him

His robot loli is a good companion

The fun part is she's maybe even more of a scoundrel than he is
At the least she doesn't seem to have the same wavering heart for evil that he does.

speaking of aibou
the handler in monster hunter world keeps calling me aibou and i hate it
who does she think she is

>>944870
she's evil to the core
the CPU core
of her robot brain

His superiors seem pretty worried about hiw harem

I guess that's true though it feels like a last episode but it was episode six

It was probably the final chapter of one of the LNs

episode SIX

hige
okay
lets start

last episode was pretty happy so
time for drama maybe

This'll probably be a bit of an episode

OH
I KNEW IT

alright well my comfy-meter is in the negative now

i guess she was hoping she wouldn't have to face anyone from that part of her running away

Gyaru really do make for great friends

she really should just walk him to a police station

The police wouldn't do anything about this

she just tells the police he won't leave her alone or let her go anywhere without him

i guess they just take her home maybe though

Oh he's getting worse

This dickbag isn't entirely incorrect
Saying he's helping her because it makes him feel like he's doing a good thing
But I don't think it's a bad motivation to work with
There's nothing wrong with having a strong sense of judgement and moral righteousness.

It's also really easy to like a self-righteous guy like the MC when he's put up against a miserable sack of a cynic like that guy

I didn't think they'd come out and say she wasn't a virgin.
They were kinda heavily implying it but I didn't expect them to come out and say it explicitly.

They've been pretty clear about it visually
There was an obvious scene where she was having sex with someone
And she had a breakdown scene where it flashed between used condoms and other evidence of post-coitus

there was a scene at the beginning of one of the episodes, where they open up with her doing it with that guy

People that make such a fuss about doing good things because it makes the do-gooder feel good kind of annoy me
What's the problem, if the action is good for the recipient too

>>944892
>>944891
I remember the scene, but still didn't expect her to say it.
Saying it is on another level.

I suppose
Especially for the MC, who doesn't get her flashbacks or memories
And even if she's more or less heavily implied it, like you said, it's different when you actually say it to someone.

Poor MC-kun though
He's stuck at an all-nighter at work
Japanese work culture sure is hell

Wonder if that's really true
And if you can see this many stars in Tokyo
Somehow I doubt it

yeah the light pollution must be whack

that thing about playing the gyaru part to piss her parents off
but the parents not questioning why
i feel like that happens a lot
and also that kids are kinda dumb because they do stuff like that

Gaaaaaaaayy

comfy meter is back in the comfy zone

I'm glad they didn't spend a whole lot of time on the stuff with that guy
And most of the episode was comfort and friends

Protecting her meant a lot to her.

maybe not in quite the same way, but i can definitely understand the relief and the appreciation of being able to think about the future, after being forced to confront the past and present all the time
being able to even allow the future to reside in your conscience is so important, and having to live a long time forced to focus on surviving day by day, hour by hour, can be really damaging

This was another one that kinda felt like a season finale.

Light novels generally divide pretty smoothly into two or three episodes of anime, depending on the density of the material
Some times they can go higher, but I think most these days fit into that pattern
So it's easy for episodes 2, 3, 4, and 6, to feel like stopping points for the story for the time being.
Sentouin earlier also hit its episode six

thanks for anime!
