I've sorted the stuff, since we're 100% in the new season now, into shows we've already watched this season and totally new stuff
Bang's stuff is asterisked as usual

I know we'll have plenty to watch with Bang today but I'd also strongly, strong, strongly recommend making time for Senpai ga Uzai. It's really cute and sweet and will have good comfy vibes

Where is Bang?

can't he just watch senpai too
it's ep 1

86
mushoku

mieruko

???

senpai


what should be put in slots 3-4
trying to remember what the really interesting things were last week

Oh that's what I meant
Put it on to watch tonight with him
I'll go give him a shout

Kyoukai Senki was the show about the occupied Japan and the boy that found an AI to build and help run his homemade robot
Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu was the damedame vampire who died to everything
Tsuki to Laika to Nosferatu was the show about Russia trying to put a vampire into space
I think out of what we currently have there, those are what were most memorable of the things we watched with Bang

Is there anything new that looks super interesting?

Hm, Gyakuten has a kinda fun silly premise, about an alt-history Japan which never gave up its imperial militarism and invades "our" Japan through a dimensional rift in 2019, taking over it and outlawing all anime, manga, and idol culture
I assume the show follows those who fight back against this culture oppression
Saihate no Paladin is an LN adaptation about a boy raised by three undead who raise him kindly, until the day he embarks on a quest to become a paladin. It seems like a 100% fantasy story

There's also the Kimetsu anime that's starting up
The first half or so of it will be a "director's cut" of Mugen Train, with new scenes and content added in from the movie showing
I kept it in because I'm a bit interested in the new stuff, but it will be predominantly just the movie re-aired

herllo yes my alarm has gone off
andi have nsooezed ijt noce
giventh me a mnue

I flipped through the Kimetsu episode and yeah it does seem to be headed into the train stuff.
I've already seen the movie and I'm sure you have too.

Yeah but has Bang hah hah

Has bang seen the first season?
Surely he has

theres new footage in the new train stuff

Yeah that's what I thought
But it's still almost entirely just the movie right

Also go to bed Kirara it's way past your bedtime

i want to but this is a rare opportunity to play back4blood with jan

Fair

We'll build another late night rebel out of you again yet

Is back for blood out? My friend asked me if I wanted to play but then he said it was out tomrorow at noon.

If you buy a special copy you can play the advance release
For anyone else, yeah, it releases tomorrow

Oh yeah, they're lucky to even be getting sixty of my dollars.
Not buying the 99 dollar edition.

I wish it was only sixty of my dollars, hah hah
Currency conversion is rough

I'll probably get it once the game actually releases so I can never have time to play with Kirara, Ton, Pan, Jan, et al
;_;

i'/m playin with pan, jan, and wulf rn
it's like l4d but new

alright
sorry about that
waking up is typically a very harrowing affair for me
and even worse when i hit the snooze button
i'm alive and mentally capable now

welcome

86

>>990815
It was okay, the gunplay didn't feel as good to me as source engine.
but i'll probably get it and play

okay
let's start

You could always play with some of us!

Oh right new 86 OP

ready

>>990818
Maybe!
Right now most of my time is taken up by ffxiv because I'm an idiot and signed up for a bunch of raid groups

I am 100% here for Lena going off the deep end and abusing the military to bring justice to the Eighty-Sixes

>>990820
Ouch
Between having a real job and a job that pays you how do you find time to do anything

they're living actual lives!

Shin breaking hearts as usual
Only this time it's emotionally, not physically

CAT SAD CAT

this guy is an alba question mark?

Probably
There were Alba in the Eighty Sixes so it's not like the all get a free pass to the White City
And as an ethnic group it makes sense some would live outside the nation

ro sen forto ja

weird seeing them engaging in daily life after watching them first season

also that poor little girl was terrified just by shin's thousand-yard stare

SHIN IS NOT AMUSED

teapot imouto

She reminds me of a mix of both Ai (Blue) and Ai (Red) from Ryuuou no Oshigoto

>They're fitting in well
I dunno about that
I don't think anyone in the Federation are addressing their SEVERE PTSD issues

i think compared to what could be expected of people in their position with their pasts
they're probably doing pretty well

also their issues are definitely just not easily observable atm

This society doesn't seem to be experiencing that much pressure from the rampaging genocide bots

Yeah, which is a bit strange, considering they made them
Even if they've disowned the robots at this point, you'd imagine the robots would have a heart close to them or something

a conscript hearing about someone joining a volunteer military would have such a difficult time in this conversation

This new Federation is also still definitely really sketchy though
I don't trust them just because they're deposed their monarchy (kinda) and went democratic

no matter how you look at it though
they're way better than the republic

>>990840
for now

I'll agree not instituting a racial subjugation policy of conscription and slavery is an improvement over the Republic
But that doesn't make them good people

This society doesn't seem nearly as hard-pressed as the Republic was.
The Republic seemed on the verge of collapse.

right now i can barely imagine what the federation could be doing to end up worse than the republic
there's almost no way

Yeah, and it's only fractured worse since we left off in season one
I wonder how long until it topples for good

I had a feeling they'd end up back on the battlefield but I didn't expect them to just choose it like this

such like-minded friends
their bond is powerful

Though he's probably right
Their comrades probably would want them to live on and live comfy lives

All of the Spearhead Squadron knew what sort of fate would befall them
The fact that these five survived is nothing short of miraculous
I think the rest would have wanted them to be free of the fighting too

This would be much more menacing if she wasn't a little girl

I thought she was saying some pretty mature stuff but wow

PRINCESS COMMANDER

I guess they have a new goal.

Wow she's got special eyes

No Lena this episode ;_;

Last episode didn't impress me
but I think this show has my attention again

a conflux of emotions
what is this feeling
i need to see more

I wonder if Shin and Lena will end up opposed at this rate
Technically the Republic and the Federation ought to be united in goal, taking down the Legion
But as it stands the Republic is still probably at war with "Giad" and knowing their pigheaded nature, they'll keep going after Giad even if the empire has become a federation

shin isn't wearing his scarf

surely the republic uppers know that giad still stands, and against the legion
when lena finds out....

Maybe, but do they care
A war's as good as any excuse for territorial expansion

>>990862
yes, but they tell their people (quite vehemently) that giad is no more
so for someone like lena, who already hates the republic's washing of history and the present
when she finds out that everything she knows about giad is a lie

mushoku
okay
let's start

>>990863
I think Lena's deep enough in the cynical deep end, at least concerning the Republic's brass, that she wouldn't blink at it
>>990866
To me she's kind of already defected in all but physical location anyway
She's not fighting for the glory of the Republic, she's fighting to keep Eighty-Six alive and protect the few friends she does have in the city alive
Her intentions already barely coallign with the Republic where they don't outright contradict their total inconsideration of

Geez man I'm just making conversation if you don't want people to talk to you then I won't

>>990865
well to me it seems like a good reason for her to defect or something
i could see her somehow ending up in a position fighting alongside shintachi this way
but also maybe they end up fighting eachother before that
>>990865
how the hell does anything you say contradict anything i say enough for you to use argumentative phrasing
you're doing that bullshit condescending motherfuckery again
we're literally agreeing and you structure your sentences like you're arguing with me

Uh that's an opening line

Surely there's contraception magic

Being Roxy is suffering

Roxy episode?

It might be neat to see what she's been getting up to since landing on this continent
Plus it seems like it might be close to home for her

>Paul
>Being scum
Sounds accurate

Wow

what the hell

I mean I guess that's one way to gather information

For how smart Roxy is, she sure isn't chasing down these leads of tiny mages
But I guess she also hasn't actually seen Rudy in years, and he's a bit older

considering what she knows of demons and all that
she probably has an extremely powerful reason to believe that literally anyone but Dead End could have something to do with rudy
which obviously isn't helping her here

Oh we're back-tracking a bit this episode
This is when she was peeking in on them

Being raised on this continent too, she's probably got a whole bunch of kids' stories about the Superd too

wait
WAIT
did the god intentionally make her miss rudy?

Yeah
Although it was kind of a two-for-one deal
He got Rudy the cool eye and kept them from meeting

three for one!
he also met the sketchy guy
han solo

This dwarf is not amused

wow roxy

Roxy PLEASE

Rudy is looking a fair bit older recently
Although I think he's still a slight bit shorter than Eris

Rudy and Roxy would get along really well

wow

They were getting on real well when Roxy was tutoring him
And she knew how to rein in his horndog nature

rudy

One of these days Rudy is going to bite off more than he can chew and Eris is going to devour him

wow what did he just say to her

He wants to get in her pants, basically
Although that's nothing new

oh no

These two are about to massacre a whole gang of smugglers

i don't know what i would do

I know what they're going to do
massacre a whole gang of smugglers

I have little sympathy for child smugglers

Sasuga Rudy

Hah hah Ruijerd took the time to shave his head while slaughtering the whole band

Learning the Beastkin language from Ghislaine ended up being pretty useful

Cute big dog

dog friend!?

Wow this guy just Fus Roh Dah'd

He's in a pinch

A bad mix of poor place, poor timing
At least he's not in immediate threat of death

they better not take too long making season 2

i don't want ot have to wait 3-4 years between seasons like re:zero

let's do meiruko
okay
lets start

Spooky time
I really enjoyed the first episode of this

Being able to see spirits seems like it really sucks

yeah this is one i wanted to see more of

that was a good OP

Yeah it's goofy and fun
And hearing her cry out about not wanting to see the spirits is cute

I haven't really done anything proper horror in a long time
Aside from maybe a few games which are a bit spooky
When I was young I was really bad with horror movies and just never went back to them
I wonder if I'd still have a hard time with it now

Her facial reactions to the spooks are always good

how did she get her phone up there in the first place

It's easier to slide something up on a shelf yeah

It's easier to put something up on a high shelf than get it down

Baka na no

wow

How toxic is this school if it's absolutely ridden with spirits

I don't know how you'd actually forget underwear
especially when you wear a short skirt every day

Advanced Airheadedness I guess

That seems like a lot of limbs

rude

Purification!
Purification!
Purification!

Her heart would probably be racing at this time too

Navel

Imagine ghosts and stuff grabbing you all day and you not knowing

Definitely one of the reasons I take solace in being a very boring person

Although I'm also totally not anything worth grabbing so

i'm sure that ghosts have better taste than to grab me

Hah hah hah
She got in the wrong line!

Chomp

Yabai desu ne?

wow those eyes are very red

Yeah I do not trust those eyes

wow he has striking eyes

I think it's more than just his eyes which are striking

Oh the spook that was haunting the cat doesn't like him either

;i think that guy kills cats

I knew it
this rough guy just loves cats

awww

he probably didn't know how to approach talking to a teenage girl
he seems kinda shy now

D'awww
He's a man blessed by cats

up until that final exchange with the scary cat murderer and the cat lover
i was definitely going to drop the show
but i'll stick around for another

Great episode

Yeah this has been fun
I saw some chatter too that as the manga settled into proper serialization they stopped doing nearly as much fanservice
Although who knows if the anime studio will tag alone
Fanservice does sell

I had a feeling that's how he got his scars
Great episode

;_;
That really hit me in the heart

Did you ever decide on a fourth Rika?
I meant to ask earlier but got distracted by anime

cute

i don't watch demon slayer btw, so if you want to make that the 5th show go for it

I was thinking we'd try paladin next
to see how we like it

then that senpair show
senpai

paladin
okay
lets start

that works for me

Sounds good
I like me a good fantasy so the synopsis of this one piqued my interested

gotta pee brb fast

okay ready

All words are magic!

What a nice skeleton dad

so are they all undead
except him

Oh it's a reincarnation isekai
The synopsis didn't get into that

He's growing up into quite a fine shounen

this guy talks alot about muscles for being a skeleton

Hm, not sure I'd agree with such an essentialist view of things
After all, a chair can be something with less or more than four legs
It works for magic but not really for anything else in the world

He's got really good teachers

damn gus really likes money

>>990976
They're all really kind to him in their own ways
I think most people wouldl -would do well with teachers and parents like them

he still di pretty good

I'd like to know what kind of adventures these three got up to before becoming undead
And why they became undead

uhhhhhh

Is she burning up her afterlifeforce to provide him with bread

I love me a good fantasy adventure
Plus this setting has a lot of thought and care put into its world
I can respect that

dang i wish i had a pet turtle knight

interesting, it's okay

okay
senpai
okay
lets start

Tiny kouhai big senpai!

I've been familiar with the webcomic this adapts for a while
It's one of those shows that's just perfect for Doga Kobo to adapt

that's me

for a moment i thought maybe it was just the art style but she's definitely very small

>When you're so tiny you barely overtake the door handle on your front door

hayami saori is in everything these days

BIG SENPAI

oh yeah I remember this

i like big senpai

now THIS lady i can resonate with

oh wow

I would be surprised if a Japanese office like this let her get away with even bringing in a water-filled vodka bottle
Not to mention without testing it, you wouldn't be able to tell anyway

i don't like walking fast
i tend to stroll

She's going to worn out chasing after him
Should have just let him walk at his leisurely pace

She really is so small

five burgers!?

>>991013
At this point it's almost certainly exaggerated for comedic purpose, but there are "fully-grown" adults in Japan who are ridiculously small
Like in a different part of the world they'd be classified with dwarfism

i feel like this big senpai is a kindred spirits

Hamster strength!

She's child sized

Some people just don't have any luck with height genes!

Hah hah hah
Yeah
The way she phrased that was very particular

lol grandpa

making mistakes at work is definitely one of my least favorite feelings
the downside of taking pride in one's work
is the despair of failing to live up to that pride

i like when hayami saori has roles more like this one
i don't like when she does her more characteristic super soft-spoken voice
well it's not that i don't like it
just not as much

I think this is a series which has real strong B-side pairings too
Whole chapters dedicated to the character pairings which aren't the main two

Cute cat doode

Doodle even

The one problem with these peppy and cheerful SoL shows about office work is it almost always inevitably sidesteps the soul-crushing and brutal hours of working in a Japanese office
It's an idyllic depiction which barely, if ever actually, exists in real Japan
But I guess thats why we turn to fiction hah *ha*h h*a*h

Oh that didn't work like I hoped it would
Samu you failed me

oh no

Yes she's very cute

OOFD"
OUCH

oh

oh

I think she's got some work to do if she actually wants him to see her as a wife though

i like this show

This is a very good OP
Sasuga Doga Kobo

Y O M U

okay
thanks for anime
yeah those were good shows

what a great night for anime
oyasumi

Thanks for enduring a night without me!
I'll be here all week

Thanks for anime, and good luck with the rest of the work week

should we potentially consider trying to start early to watch 6 shows if the list piles up too big
until we start dropping some, we have a lot of shows still coming, don't we
but that's a question for another time

I can keep the list organized, if we don't get around to watching shows, we don't
In busier seasons it's been pretty normal that we just don't start stuff for innocuous reasons like that

well i can't really get behind on certain important shows because i'll end up being spoiled pretty fast
so i guess i don't really care as long as certain shows get watched on time

If there's important stuff to watch we can definitely highlight them
I mean your stuff gets priority anyway since you're not always a guaranteed full show
The easiest way to get something you want to watch watched is let us know you're watching it

We can talk about schedule revisions tomorrow if you want
my brain isn't working right now it's bed time

Yeah go to sleep Rika why are you still here

okeydokey
one of the reasons i bring it up is because we're going to potentially hit 25 shows this season
25 being the number of shows physically possible at 5 per night

Trust me, I spend a lot of time behind the scenes thinking about the logistics of anime
I'm well aware of the time limitations, hah hah
