Heike Monogatari Muv-Luv Alternative Puraore! Pride of Orange Sekai Saikou no Ansatsusha, Isekai Kizoku ni Tensei suru Shin no Nakama
Anno
For new stuff,
Muv-Luv anime should be pretty self-explanatory. Faithful adaptation of the VN apparently
Puraore! is cute girls doing hockey things. I don't know if it's field hockey or ice hockey, but the idea is silly enough that I kinda want to try it out
Sekai Saikou no Ansatsusha is about the world's best assassin getting isekai'd into a world where he then uses his skills and modern day knowledge to become an ... even better assassin?
Shin no Nakama is the slow life isekai Bang was wondering about
Anno
i don't know anything about puraore but i'll watch it i'll watch all of em i'm hopeful for muv-luv i think there was another anime adaptation at some point but i was told by several people to stay away from it and read the VN and haven't gotten around to it i was told the other anime was bad
shin no nakama and sekai saikou are both isekai that i'm hopeful for i have to bring up that one show from last season and how thrown for a loop i was because they both have slow life and potion selling
Anno
There's been a few anime for spin-off Muv-Luv series, but they haven't actually adapted the original VN into an anime yet
let's start with muv luv bang is gonna try that right
okay sounds good okay lets start
Anno
He said he's down for everything new And with Heike we have five shows for tonight
Anno
ready
Anno
I can't wait to see everyone DIE
Anno
Yeah fuck Beta
Yuu
I don't really care for this setting cause its too dark but we'll see how the anime is
Anno
i hear there's a lot of suffering
Anno
I've never actually read MUV-LUV but I know the premise by its reputation I was always of the impression that it's a grim setting but the pay-off is big
Anno
Oh that's a lot of entities
Anno
they utilize the water to strike? that means japan is in a particularly unfortunate geography
Anno
I wonder if the penile BETA variety survived the series' redesigning That might be a bit too ridiculous for a series nowaday
Yuu
I bet they will appear Muv luv is big they have bargaining power
Anno
Definitely possible I just know a lot of the character designs have been updated to more sane designs Like there's none of the jet engine hair flaps anymore
Anno
The design work on these BETA are really good though They explode into great ludicrious gibs
Anno
attack on beta
Yuu
This is going to go badly
Anno
yeah i thought so
Anno
Seems like the Fort-class served its purpose
Oh I think I see some of the dick BETA in that mess Although these ones don't have as emphasized balls
Anno
once upon a time there was an invasion and then everyone died the end
Anno
That's just the prologue!
Yuu
as expected of muv luv just a bunch more episosde of that
oka lets heike
this will be the best #2 of what we have okay lets start
Anno
I want to see the actual main characters I'm pretty sure a lot of those characters we saw die or barely survive got fleshed out in some of the surrounding material for the world, like some of the other things that have gotten anime adaptations in the past We'll see the actual main characters next episode I bet
Anno
heike
Anno
This +Ultra service seems to be doing a -to be providing a lot of shows lately I wonder if if's the start of a major shift to streaming services in Japan
Anno
"providing" is a funny word to use from our perspective
Anno
Well in our case our "providers" are still Funi/Crunchyroll I think
Anno
Oh wait nevermind, +Ultra is just an anime block on TV a la noitaminA
Anno
Biwa is not amused
I really like how they're animating the rocking of the, ah I can't remember, whatever those carried pallets are called
Yuu
tough day for hmi
Anno
brutal
Anno
Savage
Anno
Time passes in this series but Biwa doesn't seem to grow up She still looks as young as she did at the start of the series
Anno
i have fearful feelings for the near future
Anno
Dangerous question there Do people really want to know the future
Anno
Wow, tornadoes I didn't even know Japan got tornadoes, let alone in Kyoto
Anno
oh wow i googled it and got immediate confirmation though theyaren't particularly common, they do happen usually in typhoon season
Anno
>I pray my father seeks no further glory I think your prayers are going to go unheard
Yuu
samurai did not mess around
Anno
Imagine being an ACTUAL PEASANT being told to play the biwa for the current emperor of Japan Although he seems to be a somewhat laidback person
Yuu
yeah he's really dead super dead
Anno
;_; I liked him He was a good guy
Anno
Seems a better man than much of this Heike clan
Anno
the future of those who yet live the spirits of those who have passed
Anno
in both eyes, life and death
Yuu
okay seikai sakyoyoyo okay lets start
Anno
I didn't know you were picking up a hip-hop career Rika
Anno
assassin time >>989220 that joke removed years from my remaining lifespan please post more consideratley considerately
Anno
orange
Anno
My goal is to kill the world with my humour!
Anno
these character designs look pretty cool
Anno
Nice dress
Anno
i wonder why she's sad
Anno
I have a hunch
Anno
oh no it's child trafficking
Anno
Yep About as expected
Anno
MAGIC GUN
Anno
Oh that's a cool spear Spears are great weapons
Anno
BATTLE MAID
Anno
oh hell yes
Anno
I like that there's an actual magic language in this and it's not just them saying English words as magic
Anno
is it no backwards japanese? oh i get what you mean
Anno
Even if it is, that's still an improvement!
Anno
DAAKU FURAIM MASUTA
Anno
Oh they're back on Earth It took me a second to put that together
Anno
SEIGI NO MIKATA
Anno
This guy' guy's pretty clever I guess he didn't become the best assassin just by being good at killing
Anno
oh yeah the title this guy is definitely going to die now isn't he
Yuu
well That's the best way to get isekaied
Anno
Hah hah ninjas
Anno
TRUST NO ONE NOT EVEN YOURSELF
Anno
I don't think that's a matter of trust, I think it's safe to assume anyone pointing a gun at you is liable to shoot at you
Anno
She doesn't really look like a Martinez
Anno
the organization is going to shoot down his plane
Anno
They're going to crash his plane with no survivors
Anno
that really is a lot of effort for one man i guess he really was that good of an assassin
Yuu
being on a plane is a bad place to be
okay here we go getting isekaied
Anno
I like being on a plane! Your odds of being on the same plane as someone a secret paramilitary crime organization is planning on blowing up is fairly unreliable, after all
Anno
i think the chances go way way up when you're a retiring assassin that works for that organization
Anno
Yeah but I'm no assassin, retiring or otherwise
Anno
a~hem~
Anno
This sure is quite the goddess
Yuu
getting made fun of by a smug goddess is part of the experience
Anno
Well this one at least seems more playful than actually mean
Anno
whoa whoa whoa whoa
Anno
>>989260 you said that right before she said he has to kill the hero
Yuu
reee I didn't want to leave off there
Anno
this one's pretty interesting i'm looking forward to more
Anno
>>989262 I don't think you necessarily have to be mean to want the Yuusha killed! More so I meant she was being playful with him Different from how miserable that goddess was with the MC of TsukiMichi, or Aqua's outright taunting and insulting of Kazama
Anno
people who want the yuusha killed: 1. mean people 2. evil people (who are also mean) 3. tsunderes when the yuusha walks in on them (which is mean btw)
Anno
I'm sure she's got a good reason for wanting the Yuusha dead
Anno
kazuma is lucky he got to have aqua what if he was stuck with eris she's useless AND flat
Yuu
i wanna see more of that puracore
>>989272 yeah i have a feeling they'll do something and reincarnate him weird
okay lets start
Anno
He won't be a grizzled handsome man after this anymore though Rika! >>989273 Yeah The OP also shows him as a shota so we'll probably get a bunch of his young life too
Anno
wasn't he the guy using the sniper rifle in the opening scene overlooking the castle
the OP showed the girl who was disguised as a maid and she looked super cool in it and the others too but spear girl is my favorite already
Anno
Oh I guess it is ice hockey then
Anno
CANADA
Anno
go japan! clean those leaves up!
Anno
Please all the good Canadian players go to play for the States
Anno
because dollars
Anno
Yeah also because the Leaves are SHIT
Anno
Oh no they're also idols
Anno
what the fuck
Anno
IDOLS ON ICE
Anno
Wow they're not even figure skating the cowards
Anno
i didn't sign up for this
Anno
I was hoping for something exceedingly dumb and so far my wishes have been granted
Anno
oh i don't think they're actually idols that's just the OP
Anno
I'd bet the hockey league they end up joining ends up having some silly thing like "The winning team puts on a victory idol performance"
Anno
The only way this could get even better is if the actual hockey games end up with the players beating the crap out of each other on the ice Like any proper hockey game results in
Anno
Japanese strawberries apparently taste a bit different from ones you get in North America They harvest them to be sweeter, where as North American ones kind of only have a sweet spot where they're sweet, and are best eaten when they're at a balance of tart and sweet
Anno
it mostly depends on the farm you get them from though most of the ones you'll see in grocery stores are going to be the mass-market ones grown for size and weight getting strawberries in season from a farmer's market or at pick-your-own farms are often going to vary a lot more in quality but are where the best ones can be found
Anno
dream monkeys
YuuAnno
Cute Coach-chan
Anno
monkichi
Yuu
The designs remind me a bit of love live
Anno
The MC especially Although I think the orange does more for that than most
Anno
>Mixing ice hockey and entertainment My foresight is flawless
Anno
oh i see
Anno
Well they're catching on fast, but ice hockey is a sport that benefits from agile footwork
Anno
>Body checking is an illegal hit Laaaaaaaammmme
Anno
sucks for naomi, i was getting the idea she mostly was here to hit people
Yuu
I've never played hocket hockey
Anno
I've played field/street hockey and I've gone ice skating quite a bit, but I've never actualy played ice hockey
Anno
this is unrealistic because no one has fallen yet i'd expect at least a half-dozen falls by now
Anno
Maybe they've all spent time doing like freeskating I know a lot of ice rinks 'round here often do stuff like that for the community You can bring/rent skates and just spend some time skating around the ice
Anno
i just got goosebumps reliving the last time i put skates of any kind on yup yup alright alright im ok
Anno
It's been quite a while for me, but I reckon it's like a bicycle For me the fun was always taking the skates back off and the way your foot suddenly feels like it's suspended in clouds from the difference in pressure
Anno
So it's not the MC who was snakebit proper by the sport but the plain friend That's kind of cute
Anno
seems alright don't know if i can last that many episodes though
Yuu
does remind me of love live hockey has similar music and moments too
Anno
The scheme of participating in a sport and then doing an idol performance for winning reminds me of Uma Musume Which despite the silly premise was actually a really good sports anime
Anno
this ED is pretty fun
Anno
I wonder if that last girl is gonna be someone who grew up in the northern States or Canada and played hockey there So she's a serious hockey nerd and wants to deck people on the ice proper I highly doubt that's the case but I think it would be a fun character quirk
Yuu
okay shin no nakama
okay lets start
Anno
>>989315 how did you go all of kumo desu ga without posting that image
Anno
Hopefully this one has a bit more of an impact than the other recent slow life isekai Though the best slow life isekai is still the witch who killed slimes for three hundred years
Anno
yeah 300 years of slimes is one of my favorites ever
Anno
>Banished from the brave man's group, I love some of these new isekai which try to translate the series into English for their title logo
Anno
now this is an OP that i can behind
Anno
Please as for consent before behinding anything
Anno
Ask even Damn this keyboard
Anno
zoltan sounds like the name of an evil wizard in a 60's fantasy comic
Anno
Or an evil wizard from a pulp fiction fantasy novel
Anno
music like this reminds me of walking around town in JRPGs i kinda feel like playing an atelier game now
Anno
If I lived in a fantasy world I don't know if I'd be able to choose between a life of adventure or a comfy slow life Both have their appeal
Yuu
tradeskills usually suck
Anno
For someone I assume is a part of the Yuusha's party, this mage guy is kind of sinister
Anno
Man what a dick
Yuu
jack of all trades is strong
Anno
OWLBEAR
Anno
Wait shit it actually is an owlbear hah hah
Anno
Oh no is his OP imouto a brocon
Anno
An illness which makes your irises turn white sounds pretty scary
