Heyo, happy Tuesday

*100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatte Iru
*Boku no Hero Academia
Deatte 5-byou de Battle
Kanojo mo Kanojo
Love Live ! Superstar!!
Mahouka Koukou no Yuutousei
Seirei Gensouki
*Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken

I had to really think for a moment there to remember if it was Tuesday or not
My week's already gotten off to a sleep deprived start

wow very little is new tonight

What episode of tensei slime is this?

Should be episode thirty-eight, by SubsPlease's count

okay
is anything on this list also for bang?

I see mahouka but I figured we'd watch that on Higurashi night with kirara as well.

The asterisks are things he's not watching
But yeah I had the same mind for Mahouka too

I mean he hasn't checked out either Deatte or the new Love Live! so I dunno if he's watching them or not
Anything which isn't asterisked, he's either watching or I don't know if he is or not

Is he gonna be around tonight?

I let him know, so I guess we'll see
At the least we have a few things built up we can get to in the meanwhile

There'll also be three or four things that'll air for tomorrow, including Maiddragon, so we should have plenty of content for tomorrow regardless of what we watch tonight

well let's jsut get started and we'll grab bang if he shows up

100-man
boku no hero

we'll start with that

100 man
I liked it enough to be curious about where it went

okay
let's start

This was a kind of neat isekai
A bit hammy at times, and the MC is a bit of a brat
But it really just goes all out on its weird world
That kind of commit to one thing is nice

The fact that they do flip back and forth between the isekai world and the real world is cool too

Back when isekai was a thing before isekai was cool, like the 90s to early 00s, it was pretty common for protagonists to travel between the fantasy world and Japan
But that hasn't really been a common theme in modern isekai

We saw a bit of this at the end of the first season
And I think that blonde-haired guy is a ne-
Well this is a different OP

He does dress pretty gaudily

A new friend
and a potential harem ruiner

Fasuto toraberu!

>>960548
Well unless you want a real harem end having another guy or two isn't too bad

im here

>>960550
Heyo
We got about sixteen minutes left in this

Getting kicked with mail plate boots sure has to hurt

She's got kids now!
And seems to have
Oh they beat me to the punch
She has mellowed out a lot

One of the things about the MC that always kinds of nags me is he's such a tryhard for edginess
Like he talks trash about society and people but whenever he's actually being earnest he's much nicer

>>960554
His edgy side is really like
off tone to me
he'll be normal and then just suddenly snap and be like I want to end the world

Yeah, that too
It's a good thing the rest of the cast is fun because he can be a bit much at times

That part with the lady knight was very sweet

Angry shrine maidens!

Well killing monsters to save people is kind of their job as heroes, even if they're not mercenaries
And it wouldn't be the first time they went up against a monster way above their skill level

Yeah, the knight becoming a housewife is pretty crazy

hmm okay
boku no hero

oh there's bang
time to start other stuff

Bang did pop his head in here in the middle of the episode
So he might be still around

hi

Deatte 5-byou de Battle
Kanojo mo Kanojo
Seirei

which of these are comfy

We could end on Love Live for comfy

yeah I guess we can stop on love live

okay

deatte
okay
lets start

Battoru

This one is adapting off a webmanga rather than magazine serialization or novel
I dunno if that'll change the pacing format up at all but it is a bit of a change
Usually the only webmanga that get adapted are 4-koma or other skit-based webmanga

SORRY
caps
bathroom
ready

Kid needs to clean his apartment

Who's this Nemesis looking dweeb

Geez
I mean stabbing in self-defense isn't the wrong move
But he was definitely way too into that

oh god i hate her voice

>>960573
it's Q from 3rd strike

I haven't played most of the Street Fighter games beyond II and a dabbling of V
There's a lot of characters from the series I'm not familiar with

>>960577
that guy was basically a straight-up ripoff of Q

I saw what seemed to be a few characters right out of fighting games in the OP

i really do hate her voice

And there was a lady there just in babydoll and underwear
Surely they could have given her some more clothes

kind of a lot of weirdos in this room

There's also a bunch of pretty normal people toot though
Too though, even

Sure she could have just unlocked the door

Well contrary to the prior violence, it doesn't seem to be an outright death game
Since victory can be acheived through surrender or loss of consciousness

Oh shit he Megaman

Kind of a fairly straightforward ability for an MC though
Normally they get weird conceptual powers

>the turn your hand into a cannon ability

Okay that's more in line with what's to be expected of an MC

Actually that's a really high-concept ability
And one that requires a lot of set up from him to use properly

yeah idk if i have time for it i'll watch it but i have a lot of reasons not to

hmmm
I don't have toooo much patience for these battle royale games

It's definitely one of the weakest things from this season but it's not unwatchable
Something that'll probably be easy to put to the side of the rest of the week fills out with better shows

a show has to be a lot better than unwatchable to make the cut for me this season

this show is a shonen with superpowers, a battle royale tournament, and nothing particularly interesting going on

okay
kanojo
okay
lets start

Reaaaady

ah yes it's THIS series

it's really a lot more straight-up than i was expecting
the MC especially but everyone's dialogue in general doesn't have that beating-around-the-bush thing that i hate
but this is really difficult subject matter to do without being either overly fantastic or insensitive
so we'll see

Oh finally subs that properly translate the Japanese use of bitch as slut
I don't think I've seen that before

Well they are holding hands
That's pretty lewd

I feel so bad for this gir
l

She's really the only one that's not 100% onboard with this
But I guess someone has to be, elsewise there aren't really any roadbumps to make a manga out of

thinking about being the favorite is counter-productive to this kind of dynamic

uh oh
she really shouldn't be snooping

On the other hand, gosh
Saki really has sex on the mind

Having private twitter accounts just feels weird to me
Like it flies in the whole point of it being social media
If you just want a place to write down your problems, make up a diary

uh oh

here come the lies and miscommunications

>She actually forgot after sleep
Oh no she's an idiot

I'll sometimes have situations where I wake up in the middle of sleep and do something and forget it and think it was a dream

Doesn't surprise me, hah hah
The most that's ever happened to me is conversations with people trying to talk to me in bed
If I'm actually doing something then odds are I'm gonna be properly awake for it

i have, on three occasions, done that exact thing, except that the thing i did was to turn off my alarm or set it for a different time for no reason
and one of the times i did that i ended up having to drive ~80 miles to get to work instead of carpooling

the other two times i was just severely late to work

Oh no she's also an idiot

dial tone and also dial-up at the same time with the numbers flying in the background
that kind of humor gets me

I guess to be fair they're all idiots

yeah

can't the three of them just act like friends

Eventually maybe
But she hasn't been to school at all since the school year started
So how would they have ever become friends?
For all intents and purposes she should be a stranger to anyone

jesus christ

he's so aggressively stupid

It's honesty like his that gives honesty a bad name

They're really all kinda stupid

what time are we at? I accidentally tapped my scan bar

thank you

21"55
22:00
22:05

eh
it's alright

This ED ahs two other girls on his phone
I wonder if that means he's going to add more to this arrangement

The grey-haired one is Saki's friend, I dunno if she just remains a satellite character or not
The blonde one though, well.
Well.

i'll probably keep watching it maybe

seirei
okay
lets start

I don't really have anything against it so I'll keep watching as long as Rika can stomach it
If I was better at watching things on my own I might follow it like that but I'm really bad at it

But I'm also not so into it that I'd be bothered about not finishing it

cute witch

she's actually a cat

im a cat

No you're a sameowrai

no you're a web developer

im a cat >:3

i like this mage girl
she's a pleasant person

This is probably pretty easy for him though
At least if he ever learned to read his letters and numbers in this world
Oh guess not
Still, math is math
If you can figure out which number means what then the math being taught at his age should be easy since he's got some of his Japanese memories

oh no she's frazzled

>Twelve year old professor
She's a tensai

Yeah as I thought
Math for like a ten year old is pretty easy for a twenty-something

god i wish i had a cup of tea

Superior Nipponjin batoru stance

i wonder why he doesn't want to be a knight

fuuuuuuuatrouuuuuuuuuuuuu

Maybe as Rio he finds the upper classes disdainful
Being a kid from the slum class, being around all the nobility isn't probably all too pleasant

oh i typo'd

Tsun tsun
Though a pretty wholesome tsun tsun

Cute relationship they've got
Kinda like adopted siblings

timeskip
i'm glad though
i would like him to be like in the OP

We'll probably get there before too long
Too bad she didn't grow all too much either

wait 5 years
and she really does look exactly the same

isekai school is okay but i prefer isekai adventure

Well they are kind of speedrunning through the schooling
He's already been there five years
There's probably only so many more years he can spend in school

Revenge match against the guy who tortured him as a kid
That'll probably be nice for the MC

Oh actually yeah getting violently tortured as a kid by the knights probably soured Rio on the whole idea of being one

oh yeah
that's probably why he declined

oh that's totally the guy who was in the cloak
who broke the soul gem linked to the assassin

Who's this vampire looking dweeb

yeah now it's showing it
i knew it

Oh my he got a rabu retta

sensei's jealous

this show seems alright
i'm for sure sticking with this one

wait that was sensei in a bridal gown

okay goodbye

Oh good night then
I guess you're not interested in Love Live then

night bang

love live
okay
lets start

oh finally original work

Aidoru activities
Unlike the previous Love Live this is back to being an original work
Rather than adapting a mobage
So it might be more in line with the usual Love Live experience

I don't entirely understand the consistency of making the main character for Love Live series have orange hair

Oh she's got a cute at-home appearance
Cute glasses

Interested to see the character designs
I think they're a little more unique this time at least

I'm liking this MC
Honoka and Chika were both kind of same-y and this one's a bit more sulky and anxious
Plus the music so far has bee nice

Been nice even

Yes I'm liking that there don't seem to be any copy paste characters so far

The grey one is half Chinese and was born there
And is the one pulling for a school idol unit at the moment

Maybe pulling a bit too hard though

And here's the rurus nerd
I wonder how long until she becomes a school idol

Seems like we do have a school doesn't want school idol club plot

It's a bit weird for the Love Live world though
As far as we've seen in other series practically every school is heads over heels with school idols

It's basically just stage fright?
Like the Japanese have a term for it
I don't know why she's dancing around it so much
Althought fainting on the spot is definitely pretty high-level stage fright

There's some pretty gorgeous background designs here
Love Live really does bring in A-class anime talent

yeah I like this one
well animated nd the cast is nit
not
just a simple copy paste job

And she's hooked!
That was a nice feel-good moment

Oh and some aidoru activities

A five-person unit is a bit of a departure too
But it also means they don't need to spend as much of the series on introducing the unit

Oh it wasn't just an imaginary thing she actually sang out there in public
How mortifying

Yeah I like it
she's a funny singer
I think the 5 unit is a good idea
the 9 is almost so big that all the characters are one bit

interested in this one


yeah I'm glad they learned their lesson about being too derivative

okay
thanks for anime see you tomorrow

Nine works well if you can get a two-cour or more series
It's a loooot of characters to stuff into a shorter amount of time

But yeah I liked this
Really strong pilot

Yup yup, thanks for anime
Have a nice night, Rika
