^{Episode 10-12}

Wednesdays are Maiddragon night
Having it in the middle of the week might be kind of nice for a mood lifter

Oh I see, maid dragon is back.
It says S2, was this split cour?

Rika it's been years since the original season!
It's just a season two
It probably would have come earlier but pretty much every project KyoAni was working on kind of got set back when they were subject to the arson attack

I swear we've had at least 2 seasons of maid dragon
was it 2 cour for season 1

Nope, it was a single cour

there was a season of shorts last season
in fact i kinda wonder if i should have watched those

My understanding are they're just 3D chibi CGI skit comedy bits

weird
I guess I have brain problems

okay

which of these shows are bang shows
everyhting new?

yeah
i'm most interested in dragon maid and the new isekais

Oh but speaking of Maiddragon, there's a new show this season, Peach Boy Riverside
I originally wasn't too interested in it and the animation looked kind of dull
But the manga is written by the author of Maiddragon, albeit not with his character designs
So I'll probably put it in for tomorrow night

okay
any time limitations for bang?

subject to shuffling around

chest
wait


cheat
scarlet nexus
uramachi
tsuki
maid dragon

if bang needs to go early ican sub mahouka and nagatoro in

i can probably handle all that

also there's totally 5 new isekai this season
in addition to the returning ones
that's a lot of isekai

Let us know if you're running short on time so we can do Maiddragon early
Since I'm pretty sure all of us want to watch that

Yeah sorry I wasn't parsing the synopsi properly
Some of them were more vague than others

two of them are about opening a business
and in between two seasons of a show about a slime
is the slime-killing witch
there's a little overlap happening even

To be fair if I got isekai'd into a fantasy world I'd probably start up a cottage industry too
Adventuring is a lot of work
Just give me a cozy magic cottage to make things in

okay

cheat
okay
lets start

>>958750
i've heard that japanese gamers sometimes consider cheating in games to be like
"if they never get caught, then they deserve to win"
and "if you lose to a cheater, its' your fault you aren't cheating"

All these cheating isekai protagonists sure put a dent in the "cheaters never prosper" saying

Oh the dog is a girl

She should really put some pants or a skirt on
Bloomers are not acceptable bottomwear!

oh i didn't look at any art ahead of time
this looks like a comfy/comedy-type show
for what amounts to basically no reason i was expecting something else but this is totally fine too

I could use a regular supply of energy potions
These days it's rare for me to get more than five hours of sleep a day and after three or four days in a row of that my brain starts to become ooze

i usually get two energy potions for 5 dollars at the convenience store before work

Energy drinks aren't magical potions they won't suffice!

i'm pretty sure they are exactly that

They sure ain't magic because they barely have an effect on me

sorry tilde
i kinda always knew this
but
i was hoping you could live your life without realizing
that you have no magical aptitude
of course they won't work on you

Of course I don't
Magic don't real no one has magical aptitude

you poor lad

They've just dropped us in the world this time
Didn't even get an introduction to how he ended up isekai'd

"why are you running away from me?!?!"
*holds knife*

She's dangerous

jesus christ

Maybe if you didn't walk around with your eyes closed you wouldn't bump into girls in the street

is this kazuma

Could be, yeah
Yeah I'd say it is

yeah when he just said "kudasai!"
it's totally him

wow he chops herbs with TWO cleavers
he must be a real expert

He's got a whole crafting animation while making his medicines

yeah not even monster hunter has that

>Lack of sleep can make someone irritable or mentally unstable
Shit

raijuu bakuhatsu

as someone who works a physical job and sweats for a living
a magical deodorant would be pretty nice
old spice barely manages to do the job

I fortunately don't need particularly strong deodorant
As long as I shower regularly I'm effectively scentless

the problem mostly lies in clothing
when you've sweat into an article of clothing enough times, even washing it doesn't rid it of the compounds that cause odor which activate with moisture
which means each shirt is only really good for a couple hundred intensely sweaty days
which sounds like a lot, but you really expect a shirt to last more than a year
but yeah
once you've sweat into a shirt enough times, it begins to smell the moment you start sweating
we replace our company polos pretty often for this reason
and it doesn't help that it gets so hot and humid here

that show was pretty good
seems like a good comfy show to have on deck
we should have three of those now
this, kageki, and dragonmaid

okay
scarlet
okay
lets start

scarlet

maybe good wasn't quite the right word
since i don't think it's a significantly praiseworthy show
but it was comfy and bright

Knowing nothing about this game I don't know what to think about this adaptation
On one hand, video game anime can be kind of ehhhh most of the time
But on the other hand, it's animated by Sunrise. They can crank out some real whacky fun stuff.

i'm betting on it being trash but the game was meh and i kinda want the show to be great to spite it

looks like a rogue vs a swordsman
oh a magic swordsman
oh a magic rogue

Wow he doesn't even need to draw his sword to use it

they snuck into a direlect building to spar
what bad boys

maybe this sidekick guy will get spiteful and do a big betrayal

wait
is that
the dynazenon kid

gonna check
yep

I kinda like the fashion here
The jackets have a neat highlight aesthetic and layering to them

tl note: fubuki means blizzard

Others really brings to mind the Neighbours of World Trigger

the ponytail and the red bow
she' a childhood friend
this is best girlk
i can tell

She's a childhood friend though
So she's not gonna win

well yeah
that show aired last season
she's still the best girl

Childhood friends have a few special moves they can use to win

Yeah like killing all the competition!

still thinking about higurashi?

I don't think you understand
When the show is airing
It is extremely rare that I am not thinking about Higurashi

wow the transformations are cool

Some of these monsters are really weird

clairvoyance girl uses a gun
i hope there's a cool scene where she shoots a bullet where something unexpectedly shows up right before the bullet impacts

That would be a pretty applicable use of her power, yeah
Or shooting without looking knowing the bullet will land

being clairvoyant would be kinda rough in the moments before your death

precognition
and clairvoyance
hmmm

Oh yeah I guess that's the kind of thing that's different
Clairvoyance is seeing and precog is knowing

Seems like there's some time travel involved here
She didn't look much older than she does right now, saving him as a kid

that little kid can teleport stuff
like kuroko

>Feed on human brains
it's different of course, but it reminds me of Eighty Six and the brain hunting that went on in it

well that was acceptable
i'm interested enough to keep watching

okay
uramachi
oka
lets start

I wasn't too motivated for this one from the premise but it might be depressingly funny

i don't have incredibly high hopes for this one but it'd be wrong not to give it a shot

it's relatively common for shows to betray my expectations

I don't like what i've heard about this one, but I'll give it a try

souka
soudana...

Me!
I'm feeling tired and don't want to do anything!

Well he's not entirely unrelatable

i don't normally use the word cringe but

Kids sure recover easily

I was thinking his upper body looked really, really fit
Being a former gymnast definitely explains that

yeah he has a lot of muscle definition

I guess I should feel glad I don't entirely agree with his perspective on life
But there's definitely more there than comfortable

i'm mostly curious how this will pan out to be a whole show
they can't really just do this for 12 episodes
what's the hook

The hook is eventually he burns out and embraces sweet annihilation

They have a fairly high profile set of seiyuu for these three guys though
Kamiyan for the MC, Sugita for the bunny, and Nakamura Yuuichi for the bear

And this guy in the green vest is Mamoru

I'm pretty sure he's just describing depression

indifference is how i treat inconveniences or frustrations or hardships when i'm generally happy
depression for me tends to be feeling broken at every misstep and foible

I don't think "generally happy" is an accurate descriptor for this man though

hmm I'm not sure
Will give it a few more episodes

I like the ED

Sounds like they got Mamoru to sing it
Which fits that he was in the show

i didn't entirely dislike it but it also didn't really give me any reasons to watch
i might have enjoyed it more when i was a depressive fuck but this kind of thing feels like a drag at the moment

There's definitely a part of me that takes some delight in seeing someone with more contempt and futile despair at their current lot in life than me
But I also can empathize with it a bit
And I think some of the bit deliveries were fairly well timed

okay
tsuki
okay
lets start

From some of the chatter I've seen about this, this is an isekai that people seem to hold in fairly high regard
But who knows with /a/ some times you get the people who like stuff like Mushoku Tensei and all the worldbuilding and characterization it presents
And other times you get the people who are really into Sword Art Online

>>958845
it seems like generally a lot of people think alicization is actually pretty good
i hear a lot about people disliking the second cour of the first season
which is what made me stop watching
i've been meaning to go back and watch the rest so i can have an opinion

Moonlit Fantasy is a very poetic name for an isekai

this op is kinda fun

Yeah this is pretty intense

Wow his parents are reverse isekai-ers

Wow that's quite a bargain to have to make.

Wow she's mean
He's not even that bad looking
I mean he's no ikemen but he's, well, normal.

So he's basically Superman?

Earth is pretty oppressive, huh?

>>958854
Well you've been living here a good while!
Surely you can understand

He really did just drop from low orbit and survive fine

Yeah I had a feeling this would be the pig girl

It's Miss Piggy!

Gosh

KA BE DO N

The audio filtering they use to show he's comprehending languages he's not speaking is neat

It's weird, I wonder what effect they're going for here
oh
that it's magic comprehension
that makes sense

Yeah, the bitchy goddess said she'd give him comprehension of the "human" languages.
Honestly it's a pretty good skill to have, if not flashy

please no orc love

Even orcs deserve love!

Oh looks like this world has a leveling system

Yeah
I think it's no big deal to be upset about only being level one when your potential is already this high
Just imagine how you'll scale if you actually level, yeah

It just means you can scale up fast if you have good stats
but he may also have good stats but bad scaling

I am betting that he has good scaling though

Oh no he's nuking a torii

The blue skin and horns make these look like classic Japanese oni

I mean he shouldn't take people at face value based on appearance since he's in demon land
but it seems like those guys actually were bad guys if they were subjudgating the orcs

but yeah destroying a torii gate just out of the blue seems like a bad idea

Looks like it!
Now he's got to fight a dragon

Uppercutting a dragon is some STYLE

Short guy tall girl!

This illusion doesn't seem 100% effective on him.

It's either that or there's some other anomaly

Oh I see
The illusion was too close to what really happened and the conflict messed it up

The dragon is way weaker than him, why would he make a contract without knowing what it does

Oh it seems there are some rules about fairness.

Yeah, this dragon seems around a fourth of his pwer
Also it's totally going to be a cute girl

CUTE GIRL CONFIRMED

Oh well I guess he managed to recruit a cute girl and didn't get stuck with the orc heroine.
I guess it worked out for him.

i guess the contract payed off

seems alright
probably the most interesting one yet

tonight, i mean

Some of the chatter I saw about it said they were compressing a bit of the material
They probably want to hit certain story beats and they've only got so much time for it

realist king, kanojo mo kanojo, tantei, and bokutachi are my favorites so far

This was a bit doofy but I really enjoyed it
Serious fantasy is my home field so any time we get an isekai that thoroughly thinks stuff out, I'm 110% down for it

This one was pretty good, I'd like to see more.

okay
maid dragon
okay
let's start

i've been waiting years for this

The first season cut off right before we got to Iruru and I can't wait to see the reactions of people who don't know the manga
Because she is ridiculous

something seems... different
is this show higher than 720p natively?
the animation has this crispness and fluidity i'm not accustomed to

This is a good OP
I am feeling healed already

fhaaaanaaaa
>>958891
Yeah this is lovely
fhana is a great band

>>958890
Most of KyoAni's stuff in like the past six years has been animated at near 1080p nativity
I think it's something like 980 or something in that range
There's virtually minimal upscaling for the 1080p release

whatever it is, it looks amazing

Oh yeah Kobayashi is a big maid nerd

kobayashi trying to work as a maid at a cafe
yeah it makes sense that wouldn't work

I wouldn't complain about Kobayashi being my meido

oh she wasn't hired as a maid
but as the head chef

head maid chef

Here comes the professional meido critique!

This cafe is going to get flooded by weirdos now that they're here.

NO
NO SHADOW KING

YES

>>958901
It's a maid cafe I'm sure they're long accustomed to having weirdos around

tohru please!

Kobayashi kind of walked into that one

She speedrun this job

Oh now she's teaching random humans actual magic

she taught them all occult magic

And here's Makoto and his gay dragon roommate

I RU RU

She made everything weird

That doesn't look like a landslide

wow she just walloped her

I really like Elma's design
Like Tohru is Tohru of course but Elma just hits a home run for me

I RU RU

Waaaayyyy back in season one I thought Iruru's appearance would be the season finale
Because as the manga goes that was where they would have gone next
Instead they did the arc with Tohru's dad
Was kind of a let down honestly

But Iruru's here now so it's all good

Isn't FAT dragon weaker than tohru?

She is, but if she'd been around
Er do you mean Elma or Lucoa
They're both kinda fat in different aspects

Elma is wearing a shirt that says FAT

Ah I hadn't caught that whoops
She is, which is why she doesn't fight Tohru directly
But the two of them together could probably handle Iruru

hot diggity damn
tohru stronk
and the animation is so good

She sure is

Oh
I just remembered something
I wonder if they'll do it in this season

Super interesting

I wonder if this dragon is going to try to kill or is going to join harem
I'm assuming join harem

Like Tohru, she's a chaos dragon
And she's definitely chaotic in her own right

damn she slapped the hell out of that oversized balloon

oh no mistaken for a male

Kobayashi does unfortunately have Big Dad Energy

One of the things I like about this series is that it acknowledges that even when times are good, people fight and bad things happen.
And that good times come to an end.

Oh shit it's happening
I think it's happening

HAPPENING

NANI KORE

NANI NANI NANI

wait what

was fafnir cheating in a game

oh no he's gonna do an apocalypse about it

>>958931
I wonder what it's like for KyoAni's scriptwriters to write things like that
Considering the developments
>>958941
Yeah but you can return to things like that after tragedy and it's a completely different experience to write it

Maybe accused of botting since he plays all the time

>>958940
They explored that in the first season before the thing happened
but yeah it probably strikes a cord

it was everything i hoped for
the next three months of my life will have at least one weekly solace to partake in

Gao

Good episode.
I needed that since I was a little steamed tonight, a little healing was good

O
I'm really happy they kept the THING in
Because it was a great bit in the manga

>>958944
Was there something in particular that got you heated?

thanks for anime!
i wish you both a good night

Someone in particular.

Thanks for anime, I'm going to go get some sleep.

Sounds like a good call
Have a nice night
