I think we should have a pretty good chance at clearing most of the stuff we've been watching this season within the season A few of the things with a larger buildup might not get gone through, but most should be finishable
Yuu
isekai 8 OKAY oh caps
lets start
Anno
Holy Maou-ly
Oh kay-ps
Anno
I wonder if his usual intimidation bit will work here They're not in the boonies anymore
Oh it's the original crazy religious lady
Anno
She's back to not being as crazy though Or maybe a different kind of crazy
Yuu
the jk assistant is a nice touch
Anno
JK assistant? You mean the rabbit? Or the maid?
Yuu
The maid, I'm glad he brought her
oh this lady is sitll crazy I forgot about her since she hasn't appeared in awhile
Anno
Oh hah hah I was gonna say, it sounded like they had good separation of Church and State But rather it sounds more like the state can't actually take legal action against the church That's way worse the opposite way!
Anno
>>950606 Plus her craziness was a season finale kind of thing I'd totally forgotten what happened to her after they won at the end of the last season
Anno
I suspect this "high speed charging" is going to be somewhat similar to mana transfer
Oh maybe not
Yuu
i was thinking fate style too
Anno
The actual details aren't as bad but the posing sure leaves something to the imagination
Anno
>All filled up now, Rose? Hmmmmmmmm
Anno
I bet that's one of the things that got toned down for the anime Or maybe if this was a web novel before it was an LN, at that point
I know they've toned down the lewdness of previous stuff Like when he was prodding at the catgirl's netherregions in season one when he was helping with the seal she had trapping the demon lord loli in her In a more original version of that, he was actually fingering her So it might be that the robot's back ports are just them toning down a similarly sexual thing
Yuu
last arc starting maybe
Anno
Probably I wonder who has higher rank in this church, the Head Priest or Head Cardinal Judging from her attitude she seems to hold more rank Maybe it's a kind of duality
Anno
>I excommunicate you >Not if I excommunicate you first!
Anno
A fairly tame endcard compared to the Asanagi one last episode
Yuu
fruits 6 okay lllets start
Anno
Basket
Anno
She looks nice with short hair Though I'm always partial when it's nice and long
Anno
Oh I guess last episode explains why the Rabbit and the Chicken are paired in the OP Since they're now both freed of the curse
Anno
Another one of those funny things which really shows the dated nature of this show Shigure reading the newspaper over breakfast I know Japan still has more of a newspaper culture than a lot of the Western world does, but even then, I don't think people in the modern era would be reading it like that
Yuu
I think that the youth has trouble even reading japanese newspapers now they use more complex kanji
Anno
I wouldn't be surprised I've been studying Kanji for five months now and there's a lot of Kanji that I read and know there's more common terms Or words that are written more often than not in kana rather than Kanji
Anno
Shigure's sure trying to make things go nuclear now There's no reason to be so mean to such a nice girl like Tohru
Anno
Tohru's mom really had an impact on everyone around her Everyone seemed to have a lot of love for her
Yuu
not that is bad but i feel like this show has been in high drama mode for dozens of eps
Anno
Well it's an old-fashioned shoujo They were basically either always goofy comedies or high-power drama engine The show kinda straddled the line for a long time but once they had to get the plot moving the drama kicked in
Anno
It's kind of sweet to see Tohru being honest with her emotions It's fine to be selfish and prioritize the people you love the most
Anno
Guess Kyo is still the cat though
Anno
Even in the photos Tohru's dad is a mystery
Anno
Speaking of high drama mode hah hah I'd totally forgotten about this development More than that I don't even really know what comes of it It's been so long since I read the manga, sheesh
Yuu
naatoooooro 5 wow that didnt come out right nagatoro okay lets start
Anno
Yeah hah hah hah I mean I know what you meant but still Wow
Anno
So that's the kind of nightmares she has eh
Yuu
i like paisen good word
Anno
It's fun I'm definitely partial to it for reasons
Anno
This feels like another occasion where Nagatoro is gonna be biting off more than she can chew
Yuu
yeah this will end with her losig spaghetti in fact she just did
Anno
I hope this doesn't end up with her butchering his head Oh it's starting to go down that way though I really don't like it when people forcibly mess with other people's hair
Yuu
danger
Anno
>I'm pretty good at cutting hair [X] Doubt
Anno
Wuh oh
Anno
This has gotten even worse Nagatoro has like at least a chance of not making it a big problem These girls are just here for the malice
Anno
The brainless one of these two reminds me of one of the cats from Carnival Phantasm The one that was equally incapable of comprehensible speech
Yuu
oh shes doing it properly
Anno
Yeah it surprised me I thought even with scissors she'd do a kind of lame job
Anno
I feel like shaved ice shouldn't be something where a line moves that slowly Like it's a product where the basic ingredient can be prepared easily As long as you don't run out of the syrups it should always be flowing
Anno
I've heard Japanese summers can be serious concerns for heatstroke And the other day I listened to a podcast episode talking about the issues of not having sufficent shade in urban areas and how much a lack of shade is a serious concern for the hotter parts of the world.
Yuu
yeah japan is both hot and humid danger
Anno
Line stickers are really cute It's too bad Line's attempt to break into the western market didn't really pan out You can kinda do a handmade version of it with Discord but it's a -it's not the same
Anno
Managed to jab my toe right into my power bar's master switch right at the end of that episode hah hah I don't think I've ever managed that before
Yuu
I have a friend who is obsessed with stickers
shadows okay lets start
Anno
I think they're nice but I don't even feel comfortable using emotes or emoji in text so I dunno if I'd ever get any use out of them My brain's just too stupid for conventional social stuff like that
Anno
The recap at the top of this episode was like, shot for shot, the same events as the start of the last episode But this is the correct episode we should be watching It sure is making it confusing
Anno
>Each Shadows master has been imprisoned in a different manner From what we've seen though both the boys were stuck in crates It's the girls that are unique
Anno
I wonder if the rising nature of their soot is indicative of what they can do with it John's was all sparky and he's the one that was able to blow up the crate he was in with it
Yuu
Oh we have our first successful rescue.
Anno
This Shadows is hella gay for her own face
Anno
Hah hah hah
Anno
Wow Emily That was almost genius and a considerable amount of foresight
Yuu
Oh the maze is differnt than she remembers
They really don't have a lot of time to make it.
Anno
They've been fairly loose with the time for this challenge It's hard to know how long they've been at it, so even if she says there's only so much time remaining, it's hard to know what that is relative to how much time has been already expended
Anno
Shirley and Rum is Oh Well that explains what I was about to say hah hah
Emilico being the weird exception, the dolls have names that are referential of their masters Lou and Louise, Sean and John, Ricky and Patrick So I felt something was weird with Shirtley and Rum Shirley even, hah hah
Yuu
Oh her cage is suddenly coming apart fast
but here's Emilico
Anno
It's a clever timed trap they put her in If the cage is set to break as her soot accumulates, then it'll only accelerate as she becomes more and more worried by the breaking chains
Anno
He mentioned one of the children is exemplary, one will fail, and one is hard to gauge Judging from his attitude previous the one that will fail ought to be Kate Or well the one he assumes ought to fail But it's hard to figure who he meant by the other two
Anno
This is a rather extensive piano session... Wait So is he a Shadows masquerading as a doll?
Yuu
I dunno that was weird needs more explanation
Anno
Yeah As a doll it felt reasonable to assume he'd have a Shadows matching him But way he became a Shadow is, well, different from what we've seen before.
Yuu
zombieland okay lets start
Anno
Time for this tragedy to conclude
Anno
Revolutions are always dangerous things You start them with noble ideals but its far too easy for them to trend into open conflict and death
Yuu
This is where it starts to go south
Anno
It's already been starting to go south! But I get it's going to take a deep dive soon This brown-haired guy is already trying to undermine the Saga revival plan, in both discouraging his friend and plotting behind his back And the other Saga revolutionaries want to turn it into a conflict These aren't positive developments!
Anno
Winter has come to Saga
Anno
Combat geisha!
Anno
Hiding a blade inside a shamisen is a pretty neat trick
Anno
Oh the old man isn't quite dead yet I wonder if he's the one who revives her and she's been alive for like 150 years
Anno
Yugiri did say back in season one that she was executed with a clean cut to the neck So I had a feeling she'd be fine until she was apprehended by the military.
Yuu
I guess that's a good way to die if you're going to become a zombie later.
Anno
Oh! They're gonna perform Yugiri's song! I recognize these outfits
YEAAAAH
Anno
>>>/watch?v=-wNSFmqhQsU Suisei with all of the Hololive third gen did a fantastic cover of this song way back It's a good song
Anno
They really are hinting that it's the same old man from the past So I wonder if he raised her shortly after her death That would explain how she'd be in decent condition despite being more than a hundred years since her passing
Yuu
Yeah, that makes sense.
I guess we didn't see when she showed up thanks for anime
Anno
Yup yup Have a nice weekend Rika Don't be a stranger!
