>>983630
Have you gotten up to date on Scarlet and/or Shiroi Suna?

nopers

what do you have to watch then

vanitas and kaizoku if we watch them tonight

Have you watched episode eleven of Vanitas, Kirara?

nah i'm on episode 6

hello
okay
i will arrange the list one moment

okay
what is bang and what is kirara

kirara is
higurashi
mahouka
sonny boy
shiroi

bang is
mahouka
sonny bo
shorio?

Bang's not up to date on anything we normally watch on Thursdays, normally it would be just Shiroi and Scarlet Nexus

what can bang watch?

im just vanitas and kaizoku
but if those aren't getting watched tonight that's okay too

That might be easier in the long run
We've got four nights a week to spread out what we watch with you
Thursday is the night we've got Kirara to watch what he does

I'm good with whatever you guys wanna do

as long as we watch sonny boy and higurashi i dont care about anything else

no wrong decisions in my eyes

does kirara vanitas?

no

ooh
i dunno if we havae anything in common right now

well
we need to use kirara while we have him
i don't think the two of you guys have any ghows in common rn?


higurashi
mahouk 9
sonny boy
shiroi
scarlet nexus


wait
do you have scarlet nexus in common
are you current on that bang

no worries
i can spend more time with my waifus now~
>>983653
i'm not, i'm a few behind

okay
well see you tomorrow bang and sorry :(

higurashi
okay
lets start

no worries, i'm in the visual novel vortex anyways

Rika it's Thursday night certainly you're not planning to be here tomorrow hah hah

HI
GU
RA
SHI
higurashi

it's time

Oh shit right

That fear response is still so weird to me

it's TIME
We've waited SO LONG

Satoko has killed people hundreds of times, killed herself all those times.
Why would she be that terrified of being punched in the face

oh

Merry-go-round
MURDER

Satoko probably doesn't realize that Rika started remembering her deaths and thinks she doesn't?

It's a reasonable assumption to make though
According to the rules set by not-Featherine, that's how the game's playing out

This is SO evil
Get outta here Satoko

This is the kind of thing which is probably going to mindbreak Rika

If Rika goes mindbreak and kills Satoko she wins though

OH GOD

wtf satplp
even her voice is losing it

Yeah Rika how could you be so audacious and want to join high society you CLASS TRAITOR

Kind of feels bad for all the other people in all these fragments Satoko is jumping through killing Rika in
They have a lot of weirdness to pick up afterwards

fight fight fight

>>983674
and trauma

Damn Satoko is STRONG

what the crap
how did satoko throw that drum

They're probably not that heavy, being made of light wood for good reverb and cloth
But it's more the size making it unwieldly

COUNTERATTCK

satoko is so evil

yukarin's still got it
but satoko's VA is showing her age

HAET STUDY

KILL HER RIKA
KILL SATOKO

Oh shit it's the chair again
I remember that scene from the OVA series
Although that time Rika didn't hurt Satoko too much with it

THIS CHAIR
THIS CHAIR

>>983681
Keeping in practice probably helps
Yukarin and Horie Yui are the only Higurashi seiyuu who get regular work, or take regular work

ohf

Hah hah hah
It's Rena and Keiichi's classic showdown from the original Higurashi

there is so much absurdity in these two girls fighting and dying over and over across space and time while screaming I HATE STUDYING

>>983688
YES
I was like where have I seen this

Damn Featherine, that's a fancy bed.

>>983692
Meanwhile Hanyuu's chained up like Japanese Jesus

ouch

except FRIENDSHIP

OOH
DAMN

Satoko might be a complete violent maniac at this point but man if she doesn't kill in style

oh shit

here we go

>Ryuuou
>Dragon king

would satoko kill rika with the sword?

MIKO POWERS ACTIVATE

what the crap
do they have super strength now
this is the second crazy thing satoko has done

>>983703
this is the power of a witch!

I kinda get the feeling the more and more they've looped, they've been kind of leaving the real world behind

MIKO SUPER BATTLE

hahaha this is so crazy
this is basically the lambdadelta vs bern battle though

the flying around and striking stuff

Yeah, Ryuukishi loves his shounen action battles
He just normally uses them as illusion or metaphor for the fights that are more logic and reason in Umineko

KISEKI

I like how both of their miko outfits are inspired by their, for lack of a better word, patron

Yeah, I noticed that too

This really is seeming more like an origin story for the witches

Also gives real good context for why Bern absolutely loathes Featherine's guts by Umineko

Man Rika are you listening to yourself right now

DO IT

Strike me down and you will become more powerful than you could ever dream of

SATOKO YOU'RE SO EVIL
JUST DIE

ika will be too nice to do it
haha
satoko
SO EVIL
GUILT TRIPPING EVEN NOW

hanyuu

Hanyuu's plight is sympathetic
It's too bad she's just such a damedame goddess

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I believe in KISEKI

this ED is really good
the full version is good too

I listen to it sometimes

>>983728
I think higurashi is the kinda series that will always give you the miracle in the end
the thing i'm worried about is that bern is the witch of miracles

Yeah
It's good
I wonder if it ties in to any of the other 07th_Expasion music
A few tracks from this series have referenced songs from Higurashi original and other 07th_Expansion works

Also I only just noticed that there's a Special Thanks part in the credits mentioning BT

BT was one of Ryuukishi's closest friends and one of the first people he started working on Higurashi and later Umineko on
Where Ryuukishi handled the writing, BT helped keep sort of the broad structure of the work in mind, apparently
But shortly around/after Umineko Episode 3 was released, BT passed away
It affected Ryuukishi pretty badly and some of the ways Episode 4 of Umineko was a little bit screwy might've been because of that
I like that it's clear Ryuukishi still keeps BT in his heart though

once again i can't wait until next weke

uh
scarlet nexus
okay
lets start

I wonder if this is the finale or if there's a bit more
It feels like we're in the endgame but also that it feels like we need more than like, just this episode to wrap up

>>983733
I don't think you can ever let someone like that go
Good on Ryuukishi for keeping it with him

Scarlet!

>>983739
I hope it will be a happy en
end
but i have a feeling it's an origin story

This is the last episode but it's hard to imagine they'll be able to resolve everything like this

Most people don't need to tell their hand to move!

Open up, Yuito
It's BABE

i really gotta finish this game

maybe tomorrow

i want invisibility
but arashi's super speed would be fun too

I'd probably take super speed over invisibility
My conscience might not be tough enough to defeat the temptations of being able to turn myself and things I want invisible
Where as with super speed I'd just use it for convenience

Kyoka's double ability is really good too
That would be fantastic for convenience
But Kasane probably wins out on convenience

Oh shit it's the Pope

kill da pope

Pope wa, mou shindeiru

kyouka (:

This would probably be a bit better if we'd had more time to spend with the characters in the adaptation
As it is, there's a bit of a "Kyoka who?" going on here

>>983757
Yeah, in the game you get side stories with everyone.
Even after Kasane and Yuito's groups become enemies, they constantly have side story content together

Old man Yuito was such a sack for looking so cool

Doesn't that make Kasane and Kyoka kind of sisters

I was too absorbed into Higurashi but I finally got my dinner made
Leftover butter chicken and rice

>>983763
Yeah sort of?
But Kyoka I think is cloned from someone that's more like a mom to Kasane?
so biologically its weird
byt Kyouka is 50+yo and Kasane is like 17 too

Onee-sama is a spirit not an age!
It still clears by me!

you right

SPACE SHIP

KAGERO OLD MAN

Let's all go to space!

wait i thought this was the last episode
is there a second cour

Maybe it goes a couple extra episodes

Just checked, it got confirmed to have a second cour today

Keep the fire gooooing
In your heart

>>983775
So this isn't even the endgame of the story?
There's like, half the plot to get through?
Geez louise

I guess not.
Yeah, now I don't know if I want to finish the game hahaha
I was like halfway to where we are now in terms of plot and then there was also the Yuito route to play

>>>/watch?v=Cx-W9PK12CU
2nd cour trailer

okay
mahouka
ep 9
okay
letss start

Mahouka!
>>983781
I guess my Thursdays will have to last forever.

I guess you won't be free of us yet once the October season starts proper, Kirara

You should still check out Heike Monogatari
That airs on Wednesdays so it would be easy to hold on to for Thursdays

i watched episode 2 this morning!
i'd love to watch it with y'all if you wanna add it to the thursday docket

>>983781
yeah heike is good

front page gang here
heike is beautiful

I wonder what else there will be for Thursdays soon
Haha I was really thinking once Higurashi ended I'd run a group at work or something on Thursday nights but it can't be helped
anime thursdays will continue

Well we'll also have Shiroi Suna continuing into the next season
Other things of note that air around Thursdays will be the MUV-LUV anime and the Komi-san adaptation

There's also Isekai Shokudou season two airing next season but I think that might be airing for Friday nights, so we'd just miss it

Is Magic Sumo like Wizard Chess

Oooh, MUV-LUV. That'll be fun

Yeah!
It'll be the first proper adaptation of the VN ever

can't wait for the last higurashi episode

There's a few big highlights airing next season
86 is getting its next season
Mushoku Tensei season two
Mieruko-chan
Komi-san, Isekai Shokudou season two like mentioned above
The Madhouse/MAPPA collaboration anime with character designs by LAM-sensei
Wait shit the next arc of Kimetsu no Yaiba is still slated for Autumn 2021

I can't wait for Higurashi final episode to end with a trailer for the new Umineko anime

>>983793
Wow, this season is going to be amazing.

Yippee ka yay MOTHERFUCKAS

fanservice girl working it

Can't say I'm complaining

Although this other one is a fanservice of a different flavour

blue hair is cute

Yeah
A lot of the other girls from different schools that showed up for this spin-off kind of remind me of GuP girls
They have a simple design cuteness to them

sonny boy
ep 10
okay
lets start

Wow yeah already time for show four
>>983812
Episode ten of this!

hajimariyooo

People don't like having their mind read

Magic school bus!

She's not even a real teacher!

Maybe Ms. Frizzle wasn't a real teacher either
Did we ever see her teaching diploma?

She doesn't seem like a real teacher. She really put her students in some seriously dangerous positions

The guy with the breaking power is still turning into a real manchild
It's a funny difference from Nagara and his friends

Look at this absolute tsundere loser

Yeah, he's really the only one who isn't growing up.

>I'm not the same person I was before
Yeah, you're worse

hahaha
just sitting there thinking about boobs

I can understand him at least on that point

>I want you to put a stop to War
A heavy burden to put on kids, Principal God

Such good cats

Hah hah hah
"What have you been doing" is such a fun question some times

Copying everyone into this world doesnt make total sense to me.
Because there are so many people that she never knew that got copied here

Nozomi really is someone who feels like her heart and face are one in the same

insert song!!!

Not the Ging Nang Boyz this time either
I feel like I'm familiar with the vocalist though

Spooky

>>983836
It's Kaneyorimasaru

Guess it might just be similar to something I've heard before then

Caaaat's out of the bag

song is kyo no uta if you wanna listen to it later

>>983841
poor girl

Nozomi is so cool

What a waste of some perfectly good phones

Is it really a waste if you can just copy them limitlessly?

They'd have to get back to Mizuho to get a new copy though!

I love this show's use of solid color.

Did Nozomi just died?
Was Asakaze choosing not to do that or did his powers fail?

nyamazon

oh they subbed the ED this time

Some pretty good lyrics
Very moody and poignant

for sure

>>>/watch?v=85XMfrjnby8

It's on Spot Defy too
https://open.spotify.com/track/1Z75pzAIs06dHzwINKQ2co?si=37d363649e504277

okay shiroi
not sure if this will be comfy or sad

or both

okay
lets start

Nothing like some good ol' fashioned catharsis to cry yourself to sleep with

It's time to let go!

fish heads fish heads

Roly poly feesh heads

my dad always used to sing that to me when i went to bed
like a lullaby

Waza waza

haha he looks so moody in it

It's sad that they're all gonna be separated.

I love this dude's shirt

Very Okinawa-poi

Hah hah if she goes to work for Tingaara she'd have to work with that other girl

Close the doors, one last time

Kukuru is doing better than I expected.
Acceptance is hell of a thing.

yeah i think last ep is when she went through the worst of it

yakkamashizo

wow

They're all aquarium nerds

Oh no.

D'aw ;_;

Such a great and generous old man

seems like she's still a little unhappy

She's grieving!

Are we shifting into an aidoru show?!

Would be kind of funny
I do wonder what they'll do with the second half of the show

Tingaara is a weird name.
I wonder if it's Okinawan?

I would imagine so
Gama Gama is kind of a weird name too, even if it sounds "more" Japanese
Okinawa is south enough that it has a bit of cultural influence from the same weird sea of culture that you get in those island nations in SEA and Oceania

SEA of culture

Yeah I was proud of that one

it was good

kiseki!

Empty tanks are kind of a sad image

I wonder if that girl in the water is supposed to be an older Kukuru, or her unborn sister

I thini it's her sister

Oh it was an older sister
I always assumed it was going to be an imouto who died with her parents in their accident

tearing up a little
stuff like this always gets me

(:

Fuukaaaaaaaa
You're going to miss your flight!

(:

ONEE-CHAN GETTO

that was a nice scene

Tingaara time?!

Maybe we'll have a short timeskip since they said Tingaara would take her once she finishes high school.

I'm wondering if they'll jump forwards to next summer

umi ni naru

Mata ashita

It feels almost surreal to me that we're getting a whole second season of this
Like it would be a bit of a sad ending, but this episode could have properly wrapped up the whole show as is

I assume she's gonna go for her dream of being a marine biologist
it's a nice story

thanks for anime

I'm glad there's more.
>>983910
Thanks for anime

fish probably would have liked this a lot

Enjoy your weekend Rika!

>>983912
Yeah, that comes to mind to me too watching this

Letting go is important

So is keeping a dream or aspiration
It doesn't have to be the same one, but it's good to never give up on something you want to do

So true
