Anno
There isn't really much we need Bang for tonight Just Bokutachi really
Honestly I feel like I've slipped up a show or two somewhere but I can't place them Aside from Kanojo but I did kind of intentionally set that one aside since you two were really not into it and that Jahy-sama could take its place as a show Bang could watch
Anno
it might be because i dropped like 5 shows but i think we haven't missed anything
Anno
There's also Drugstore Isekai but we weren't watching that one with you anymore and it is honestly kind of dull I can put that one back on the list if Rika wants to keep watching it We might need something like it for tomorrow for comfy
Yeah, like I said, kind of dull It wasn't unwatchable but we were getting swamped with new stuff and it wasn't being watched at the time I have it in the wings just in case
The brown haired girl feels more like the protagonist to me than anyone else she's the one always struggling
Anno
i think they've been going back and forth a lot i predict some kind of love triangle thing later
Anno
She does seem to be crushing on the MC a bit now But Buchou is still in the "we're just acquaintances" for the MC and Shinoaki is imouto mode right now
Anno
i think brown hair is the best match for MC probably but i personally like Aki the best
Anno
I have a thing for artist girls so same Plus she's tiny But I also really understand Buchou on a personal level
Anno
Wuh oh
Anno
what the oh no he better not wake up in the future
Anno
Even if he does I don't think he'll be stuck there
Anno
INTERRUPTION INCOMING yep alwaysd every time wow i'm mad
Anno
WOW GAH WOW
Anno
Ah well I guess that corrects my previous assumptions that she was imouto mode
OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO I CAN SEE THE ENDING
Anno
The funniest thing is, the Haruhi Suzumiya anime aired in spring 2006 So they were being chronologically accurate God Knows... would have been a big song in the the autumn of 2006 that this school festival took place in
Anno
YES NO YES YES NO NO YES AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Anno
BANG IS ERROR BAND IS ERROR BAND GS BANG
B EAI
Anno
I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I IKNEW IT
>>966882 I should be fine there's just something happening outside I'll probably have to go talk to the police when they get here but i'm not the one in trouble or danger or anything
okay let's start
Anno
Do you want to settle that first before we get to stuff?
I'm pretty sure Uramichi was dead inside before he started working in children's entertainment But I think I would become the same as him if I had to be around kids like this as much as he is Kids are a nightmare
Anno
They really rolled out the voice talent for this series Kamiyan for Uramichi, Mamoru for the other guy, Sugita as the rabbit, Mizuki Nana as the onee-san
Anno
I hope I'm never at the whims of such an awful boss like this
Anno
Oh I've seen the manga page that bit adapts before With the kids giving all the hopeful things adults no longer have
Anno
Who is the Maman they're supposed to be Together With Maman with anyway It's none of the onii-sans and onee-sans we've seen so far
I wonder if it's for stuff like this that they got Mizuki Nana for Utano She's a lovely vocalist
Anno
This third act of the episode has been pretty depressing hah hah Like they usually balance the depression with comedy but man This is a different kind of relatable
Something happened and I had to tell the police what I saw and heard, eah
Anno
Awfully late at night to be making trouble But I guess cities never really sleep
Anno
I wonder if MWAM will ever get the chance to do another tour of North America I'd like to see them again
Anno
It's kind of funny how Endeavor just goes all in on catching even petty criminals Especially when his sidekicks are already on route to catch them I guess it's befitting of being the pillar of justice that he's trying to emulate but it's kind of a waste of his ability
He his siblings are really messed up way more than him
Anno
Todoroki's at least been given the opportunity to heal Being with the rest of the kids at UA has helped him a lot It seems like his siblings never had a similar opportunity to mend
Although his onee-chan seems okay, just, well, resigned to things
Anno
It does seem like Endeavor normally recruits fire-themed sidekicks By that metric Bakugou is probably a good candidate for a sidekick Deku's really the only one that doesn't fit
>Look for the evil hiding in the everyday It's a poetic way of phrasing it but it's kind of a dangerous way of thinking It presumes evil is always there And if you keep looking for something you think is there, eventually you're gonna start seeing it where it isn't
Anno
O N E E C H AN
Anno
The different ways they wear the similar uniform is funny Deku is super proper but kind of dweeby with the short tie Todoroki looks good with the long tie but the way he rolls his sleeves up a bit gives him a bit more of a wild look without going too far And Bakugou with no tie and the sleeves rolled up, and the top buttons of the shirt undone, looks particularly rebellious
Some times best isn't always enough Although it doesn't feel entirely unachievable
Anno
Bakugou with the total lack of social tact and decency probably helps a bit right now Not to help them with the problem or anything But with him and his sister festering over the issue right now they'd just be spinning wheels
Anno
Oh we skipped over 100-man to do Hero Academia Do you want to do that next?
yeah I feel like this season ahs been a bit darker than the last
Anno
Gotta keep raising the stakes
There's a second blonde boy in the OP who seems affiliated with their party At first I thought it was that blonde knight who died last episode But he died, so Plus on a closer look they're different people
Anno
Again, they're doing a weird thing trying to portray the orcs as noble and righteous here But the orcs were the ones who showed up and instituted themselves as the feudal lords of the humans on the island, with the added threat of eating the humans if they didn't give tribute
Pretty much As I said last episode, that doesn't make the heroes, well, heroes, just because they're fighting off the orcs But the orcs are definitely not righteous, and seem to act like they are just because they don't have to be scared of the humans
Anno
Ah yeah their island is a volcanic island
Anno
Well damn Imagine escaping a collapsing cavern only to get clocked in the head by a piece of volcanic eruption And looks like blondie got killed by one too
Yeah things have been crazy bad for them this season Just crisis after crisis
Anno
Oh that's not good Looks like being underwater is the same as being in the stomach of something Can't respawn
Anno
Hah hah hah You'd expect a Japanese person to understand what it's like before a tsunami strikes How exciting
Anno
I wonder if this island is supposed to be some weird far future remnmant of Japan And the island is Mt. Fuji Which is why the people on it have all these Japanese aspects to them
To be fair the orcs are a more recent addition And with all the cavernous shelters it looks like normally the islanders would be well-prepared for a volcanic eruption Volcanic islands may be hazardous but they're very fertile land to grow crops on If you can work around the eruptions there are benefits to living near volcanoes
Anno
This is a common thing even in real life where tsunami risk is regular There's many parts of Japan along the coastline where there's stone markers warning future generations about building beneath them I do think for the most part they've actually heeded the markers pretty well though
Jiffon kinda sounds like a mix of Japan and Nippon
seems like things keep getting worse for them
Anno
Yeah I was thinking that too My theory about the island being Mt. Fuji in the far-flung future was mostly a joke But if they want to seed it as being an actual twist they're doing a pretty good job of it
Anno
I thought when they were talking about the volcano god they were being metaphorical But it might be there's actually creature living inside it which the islanders have deified
I wonder how many more talking episodes we'll have before some action Feels like we gotta be getting toward the end of this
Anno
It feels like they might move out before this episode is over I dunno if we'll see action with that, but at the least they won't be sitting around Tempest talking
Anno
But since Rimuru is a Maou now too, doesn't he kinda have a ticket to Walpurgis anyway If it's a council of Maou
Anno
The OP kinda spoils who he takes along for Walpurgis anyway Yeah, Shion and Ranga
Anno
Where does Veldora fit into the power scheme of things anyway If he's so confident he can crush your average Maou Then he's on a level way above even Rimuru
the only thing that bothers me and this is a small complaint but they're going into like a war but you know nobody important is going to die in fact nobody may die at all from rimuru's team
which is nice in the respect that it preserves the laid back tone of the series but it also stretches the suspension of disbelief to like the maximum
Anno
It's definitely very much the usual shounen trope that big fights are more just chances to show off flashy moves rather than be dramatic moments
It's rare for fights to actually have dramatic tension, although there are popular exceptions to that in recent years which might help break the trope I know both Kimetsu no Yaiba and Jujutsu Kaisen both kill off main cast members or at least secondary ones And Chainsawman which we'll hopefully be seeing soon goes wild through its cast
Kimetsu and Jujutsu are both much darker and the protagonists and charcters in those suffer a LOT more
in slime, the characters suffer for maybe 1-2 episodes before it gets fixed then you get a lot of episodes of brightness it's not bad but the show is very daring in just like how positive and suffering freei it can be considering the setting
Anno
Yeah, I don't expect the trope breaking to affect Slime But more that I think Slime is more in line with the vibes of shounen and generally popular action/adventure stories in anime and manga from the past decade or two And we're now seeing some stuff which is getting really popular which breaks from that mould without going into like, edginess or hardcore violence Like Kimetsu and Jujutsu are still shounen series at heart even if they buck trends Chainsawman is, well, a different beast entirely, but still kinda tries to be a shounen story. Kinda. But they're all wildly popular Shounen Jump series, so it's to be expected that they'll probably shape the future of shounen in coming years
