for some reason it downloaded a 0 byte version with the proper name and then a proper file but stuck a .1 at the end of it i guess it tried to download once and failed and then downloaded properly right after it
Sometimes when you're getting played, you just gotta opt outta the game.
Anno
I wonder if we'll ever see them go Looper Eyes eye to eye So far Satoko's kept to herself and Rika's only taken them out to stare down Keiichi's dumb ass
It's such a sad thing to see good guy Teppei get played by evil evil satoko
Anno
He's even got on a dorky husband apron
>>969769 No clue When Rika went off at Keiichi in Mion's arc while her eyes were looking all looper-y, he was kind of shaken, but that might've just been the tone and words she was using, yeah
>>969789 Well, we'll be in the Everglades for two days so there's a chance we won't be able to. But if we can, we will. I'll make sure Pan watches Rebuild 2 and 3 before it happens.
>>969791 I think we'll be Everglades 17 and 18, but maybe 18 and 19. It'll depend on the weather. But Friday and Saturday should be safe. Monday might work but I have work for a few hours.
this weekend seems bad for both you guys and samu since you're all going to be outside
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
ToN and Pan won't get here until like 11pm on Sunday night this week. But I mean friday and saturday next week Since they'll be going home the next sunday at like 6am
They really like flipping shit on its head for this new Higurashi We saw Teppei's outburst at Sensei without this context but wit h the context it's great
Satoko was also an extremely volatile person to begin with Considering she was abused for a long time by her aunt and uncle, and then had to deal with her brother's disappearance
My impression of her is that she was kind of a brat and kind of stupid she was always just like the kinda dumb abused girl
but she is EVIL she is SO EVIL
Anno
Satoko was always pretty cunning though The original anime didn't do a great job of this but in a lot of the happy filler stuff in the original VNs, she was constantly the one getting the advantage over others with her traps and trickery
They're not above it! They just don't care about it!
Gah, I'm not gonna be able to watch Higurashi with y'all next week since I'll be awayish.
Anno
Well I guess it's more they operate on different kinds of morality At least the ones that have lived long lives as witches Beatrice was the most human witch in Umineko because she was a relatively young one But when you live for centuries watching peoples lives like they're chess pieces or puppets on the stage, you eventually become disengaged from the morality of those pieces and puppets
We're approaching what is probably the zenith of evil here After all after Tatari, this current arc, we get to cover the Sotsu side of Neko-damashi Which is where Rika gets RTA'd on a bunch of deaths
>>969834 Some people just go full tilt quicker than others. I had a client once who was like that, not like, Satoko level, but basically a supervillain after some childhood trauma
hello yes i am bang and my stomach hurts and i'm ready for anime
Anno
I'm not saying she isn't evil, but I do think her case isn't too absurd Just that Satoko was always very volatile because her childhood was a nightmare
And maybe also she was experiencing some memory bleed from previous fragments We've been seeing a lot of Higurashi characters were getting memory bleed If she had all the times she's died painfully or had to reexperience the trauma of previous fragments, that would only add to her volatility
Anno
we're getting into the second half of the show now

this OST whips
Anno
reminds me of a james bond game on the gamecube
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
did you lie
Anno
I know whyyyy
Anno
WE WILL FLY SOME DAY I WON'T BE CRYING
Anno
lol as if

TAIMU RIIPU

Luca is a cute kid. luka
Anno
He kinda feels a bit like he doesn't quite fit in and feels more like a token shota character But I guess if they're all taking medicine which prevents them from aging he might be older than he looks
A rare inversion of the 300-year-old loli vampire
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
Luka has been a soldier for 20+ years
Anno
HE REALLY IS A THIRTY YEAR OLD SHOTA VAMPIRE
Anno
Shiden Ritter's name kinda makes the slightly dyslexic part of my brain collapse his name together into one particular word
Some people join the service as adults after being recruited and some people join voluntarily. If you're recruited, you can't say no. Kagero is one of those.
Also Kyoka is so fucking cute. She's like 60
Anno
Onee-chan characters are the best Onee-chan saikou
Anno
>You've got a problem with being a hero? Yeah being a hero SUCKS
Yeah Arashi, get that leash nice and tight on this wild horse
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
Arashi gets it. Sometimes you gotta play it nice and clean so nobody can tell you're dirty.
Anno
I think Arashi is pretty obviously playing her though
Anno
Some times you gotta play every one though Even yourself
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
There are a lot of opportunities in the game to get to know everyone It's nice that they're including a little of it in the show
Anno
Yeah I was thinking The show's been pretty much pure action or plot for like, six episodes The shift down to some character moments was a change
Anno
yeah it was making me feel very uncomfortable actually like it shouldn't be happening
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
The game uses a bond system, where hanging out with people increases bond and changes the strength of the powers you can borrow from them. Using the Struggle Arms System, you can combine different powers with your own Gravikinesis.
yeah you don't get to complain about sleep when you're drinking tea after midnight
Anno
But I drink tea after midnight pretty much every day, even days I sleep well later on and don't feel unrested for work I understand the impulse to make this connection but tea has very little impact on how easily I fall asleep
>>969886 I slept a lot this afternoon I could probably survive to tomorrow evening
not gonna sit here and try to educate you about it but there is basically no circumstance in which caffeine in circulation doesn't effect the quality of sleep negatively if you wanna look into how it interacts with your brain, that's on you
Anno
I mean you're free to completely ignore the first thing you said to do exactly what you said you weren't going to do But I know my own personal circumstances far better than you know them, thank you very much
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
fish cosplay!
Anno
I wonder if it's not normal for Japanese institutions like aquariums or museums to not have some kind of food option, be it a proper concourse, cafeteria, or just a sweets stand Every North American institution I've been to has had something like that Aside from that one museum of the grotesque we visited in Philly, but that one might not be particularly condusive to feeling pecking while perusing
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
I don't think that Jewish history museum we went to did either, but yeah, it's pretty common for big museums to have those.
putting stuff up on the net actually is a good way to safe struggling conservation places like this although realistically aquariums aren't always the best thing for conservation you have to house fish responsibly
Anno
Oh no their ice cream dreams are getting shut down by the LAW
>>969908 They seem to have mostly small creatures at least Which isn't to say they're being that ethical, but it's easier to ethically house fish if they're on the smaller side
Anno
it's true in quite a few westernized countries selling food in any form can often be a very painful process to do legally
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
Fuck the law!!!
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
Aah, I want shaved ice.
Anno
What about some water ice
Anno
This fuckin' guy just downing a whole cup of shaved ice
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
I like this big guy haha
Anno
can't get brain freeze if
Anno
Her mom's doing a good job of getting under her skin a bit In the good way which motivates you to do better
>>969936 Yeah it was This show's been consistently good but every other episode or so they go real hard They really understand sentimental emotion and the characters are all so nice
This terrorist group more broadly seems pretty mad about the discrimination against not just Weeds, but also magic-less people in this world too Like, their complaints aren't invalid But bombing and shooting up a high school is a lousy way to go about being upset about that
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
owned
Anno
O N I I S A M A
Anno
PANZER VOR
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
these terrorists suck at terrorism
Anno
To be fair being a muggle terrorist against magic users must be difficult
Anno
Wow he ran off just from being called vulgar by a pretty girl How spineless
I feel like since it's her series we kinda see onii-chan through miyuki goggles here
Anno
Which is saying something because onii-sama through the normal series is already pretty intense
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
Such a groovy ED.
Anno
This franchise in general has some really good music to it Yeah, Taku Iwasaki was involved Oh, still is involved, he's doing the music for this series too
Anno
SURFBOARDING
Anno
Looks like there's some inter-school magic Olympics coming up
Sonny Boy! I love this show so much. It's so cool! I wonder if the monkeys will show up again.
Anno
It's really artsy and weird but not in an overly self-absorbed way It's good to know Madhouse can still draw the talent to make interesting stuff
Personally I just wonder if we'll ever get an OP/ED animation or if they'll keep playing the song over a black credits roll
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
Monkeys
Anno
I think it's cat and mice instead of monkeys
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
Hmm thats weird I opened episode 4
Anno
It happens some times
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
For some reason I dont have 5 downloaded! I remember downloading it though Daijobu it'll take 2 mins to download and then I'll just join up wherever y'all are
Anno
Ah oh no
Some times when I get stuff off torrents I forget to refresh my downloads folder And so rather than being alphabetically sorted, the new episodes are way down at the bottom of the folder And since I navigate the folder alphabetically, when I go to open the most recent episode of something, I end up with the previous one
Anno
But what happened to that sensei of theirs that was appearing out of the water at the end of the last episode She hasn't been here at all
>You might not be aware of this, but we, like almost any normal human, left people behind
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
How could he not be aware of that? Wow, they're being really mean to him. Why does everyone blame Nagara? He didn't do anything wrong.
Anno
Well they're all kids, and kids are awful people He is the closest thing to what seems like a way they got into this mess They're all stressed and scared and it's probably making them act way out of order
Anno
Talent don't real! All you have is practice and knowledge
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
I really love this art style. It's so good.
Anno
It's nice to have someone along to help pull you into the water you're too scared to enter yourself
>>970035 I was thinking that too the way her voice was breaking just a little bit was great
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
Wow. That's really strong.
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
I think that guy's power is to like, twist things up, so he's always going to feel inadequate compared to a guy who can create new worlds.
Anno
Although it has some pretty diverse practical applications We've seen him flying around using his power in previous episodes Just goes to show that even if your abilities seem brutish or violent, there's always another lens to look at them through
I've got to do soem cleaning up before Pan and ToN get here. I'll probably split it up between Friday/Saturday/Sunday. But if you're looking for company to watch, hit me up.
Anno
Well it might also be at like, 02:00 Saturday morning after I sleep for six hours after work tomorrow If my sleep is anything close to normal though I might be free to watch Saturday morning
