do we have bang tonight?

I'll see
Was going to give him a chance to wander in

Well if he doesn't show up we've got some things we can start/watch without him

let's do yaiba 1

first ep should be all new
not sure how it will be past that
okay
let's start!

Ah all right
I'm curious to see how much of this is new content
I know the first half , or at least first chunk of this TV run is a "director's cut" of the movie

I did enjoy this movie but personally I think it would have worked better in serial format than as a movie
Because of how the arc plays out, there's a lot of loss and not a lot of gain, and I ended the movie with a kind of unsatisfied feeling in my head
The narrative arc of the arc's story is a somewhat depressing one

I loved the movie and thought it was perfect.
I don't know how dedicated I'll be to watching this if it just tracks the movie fairly closely.

Kirara was the same way

I dunno, it isn't that bad because we knew as English-side fans that it wouldn't be long after the movie came out in English until we got season two
I think if I'd been a Japanese and saw this in theatres, and either didn't know or knew it would be a long wait for more, I'd have been really dissatisfied with the movie
But I guess if I was Japanese I could just go read the manga hah hah

Kyojurou's such a maniac
There aren't many people who should sanely jump from a moving train like that

>>992491
Either way the next arc of the story starts ~48 days from now
So around seven weeks from now

yeah I'm looking forward to more content
it's going to be great

Looks like he needs a hand

yeah he can just regrow them
since he's a demon

Ah, yeah
Demons

oh yeah I didn't like where this was going

Brave okaa-san

Here comes the FIREBALL

oh he was fast enough

Rengoku might be slower but he knew where to look
The demon was slowed down by having to actually hunt around

The anime for this series is so well put together.

It's a great use of ufotable's talents and creative capacity

20 years ago would be yeah
his mentor or father

Probably dad, as he said, yeah
We see a bit of his dad in the movie

Rengoku's stare always unnerves me hah hah
It's not like he's got one expression, but like 80% of the time he's got the same intense stare
And that slight smile
If he wasn't actually such a nice person I'd think he's kind of psychotic

Oh right the anime had these very Tales-poi skits for the PV material

next episode wil tell how interesting the anime will be
how much of it is just movie footage

still no bang?

Ah sorry he did get back to me on that
He had something to take care of and will be tied up for maybe another hour plus change

All the Pillars have something good to say about Rengoku
Considering their diverse personalities I would have imagined at least one would've had something less than flattering to say about him

another hour huh
okay

yuyuyu 2

yeah we can do that third
i was thinking of doing 86 and the girl that sees shit show for 4 and 5

okay
yururu
yuyuyu
okay
lets start

It's a comfy show but we could do Isekai Shokudou for a third
Since we've got two episodes of it anyway

Yuru YuYuYu
Sounds like one of those chibi short shows they've done for this series

Ah wait shoot I was messed up in my listing
We've already watched episode two of this
>>992513
Do you have episode three ready?

oh i do
episode 3
okay
lets start

Nice thanks
Sorry for the hiccup

my mistake, i'd forgotten that we watched 2 eps
since the first one was just filler playing around

The Hero Club deserves a few days of just playing around!

I recently told someone that I thought yuyuyu was better than madoka and they were very upset with that comment.

Hah hah hah
I can see why that might get people fired up

Personally I think they're pretty distinct series
After all it's not like "girls with magical powers which fight against a hopeless fate" is so narrow a genre that the two shows are like, singular competitors

And you know, I don't really like picking favourites
I just like to enjoy watching stuff

If anything I'd say there's more common ground between Nanoka and YuYuYu than YuYuYu and Madoka

I also said that nanoha was better than madoka
and that nanoha did it first

Regardless of your opinions on the matter it feels a bit like you were trying to rattle the wasp's nest, hoh hoh hoh

Although it's objectively true that Nanoha did it first, yeah

I do that sometimes.

Oh trust me, I know

This brown-haired girl is cute
I like her eyebrows
And green eyes are a good match
Wait she doesn't have green eyes where did I get that from
Well brown and brown is another good combo, if plain

One thing I think YuYuYu does really well though is show that heroes aren't just people who do great deeds, they're people who are kind and look out for everyone
Like how that girl was just saying that the Hero Club wasn't acting like a community helping squad to keep up appearances, but rather because that's their element
Everyone can see the girls are good people because of their earnest desire to help people out

What is their goal that they're doing here

yuyuyu is often not clear about what they nature of the universe is at any given moment

They're trying to recover the world beyond the barrier
Whatever disaster brought the Vertex and all these monsters to the world tainted the land and made it inhospitable for people
These expeditions are supposed to purify it and remedy that taint

Didn't they fix everything at the end of the last series?
or just stabilize it?

I can't really remember what the conclusion was last time

They defeated the Vertex, which were the beings for which the Hero Club were needed to overcome
As far as I could tell the Vertex existed as the bosses and beings of power in the world beyond the barrier, and possessed the kind of strength that no normal mortal could beat
Now that the Vertex are out of the way, lesser people like these Sentinel girls can travel out into the world beyond with relative satefy

So the things out there now are just like feral beasts?

Probably yeah
Or like the lesser minions of the Vertex which now have no master to obey

Like I was musing about last episode, they're probably weak enough that the Hero Club could take out swathes of them without breaking a sweat
But since the Hero Club gets to be retired (for the time being), cleaning them up is left to these hero rejects, who struggle against them a bit

sounds like the vertex may be getting stronger again?

I mean we all know the hero club is going to be back in action soon

Yeah, I would be surprised if they took too long of the season before the Hero Club rolls out again
Especially with that cliffhanger at the end of episode one, with the Taisha people coming to Togo

But I think in this case the "gods above" they're talking about are the traditional gods that are "on our side"
As much as any god is really ever on the side of petty mortals

i am certain that things will be grimmer and darker than ever before we know it

isekai restaurant
we're on ep 2 of this, aren't we?
okay
let's start

Yeah
This one I know I'm on top of

Hah hah hah
This feels oddly familiar

yeah a bit
O giess je jas very friendly lights in his place

Wow Rika I didn't know you spoke Swedish

Come to think of it, a modern restaurant's kitchen would probably look quite a bit like a sorcerer's abode

I wonder what their deal is, looking pale and sleep-deprived
Are they vampires?

maybe, they remarked about light not hurting them
but vampires are okay with artificial light

Oh wait galeo is their fantasy world's word for garlic
Yeah they're definitely vampires

On thing I like about this show is it's never really "Nippon banzai" about its cooking
Like the fantasy people always remark on how good the food is, but it's always because of modern world food qualities rather than some Japanese je ne sais quoi

They slept all day

And the scene cut on some bats flying off
I guess they didn't want to spoil all the fun

What a pure, dweeby crush

Imagine having a door to this restaurant right in your own parlour room
Even if it only shows up every Satuday

He gets a lot of difficult patrons

It probably helps freshed up the monotony of running a restaurant though
Freshen up, even

I wonder what it's like for these kinds of feudal people to drink coffee though
Surely their beans aren't as caffeine-rich as modern coffee, and they probably haven't developed techniques for extracting the most amount of caffeine in the brewing process
But still, caffeine for a body which has barely ever had any is probably going to be a jolt

okay
now we wait for bang

Yeah, hopefully it's not too long a wait
But there are a few other things we could watch if it does take longer than hoped

I was hoping it would be before 02:00 our time though

me too

im home
but i didn't expect you guys to wait for me
i also didn't expect to drive for two hours tonight but that's a whole other story

let's do 1
what do you guys wanna awtch

I'd say maybe Senpai or Mieruko
We can do the Bang combo tomorrow

senpai

mieruko
OKAY
lets star

Mitte kudasai

Oh guess it's not a ghost bus
Actually maybe it is
That boy is
Yeah
Teleporting around

Imagine living a life where you can't ever really be certain if you're not getting on a bus full of ghosts or in the express line to the afterlife

Being Mieruko is suffering

She's developing nerves of steel
you get desensitized eventually no matter what it is

She's also developing trauma over perfectly normal things in Japanese society though

wow this is awkward on multiple levels

Uh oh

She likes her men BURLY

She said that to trick this ghost

so cold

wow

oh no

Wow look at this match made in heaven

wait is she a murderer

Probably not
But they're both the kind to lead people along into relationships until the partner because hopeless

why are there so many
did they kill themselves?
that's a lot of dead dudes

Mieroku wearing those prayer beads like they're training bracelets

wait weren't those bracelets like 40 bucks a pop
that's 160 dollars worth of bracelets

Time to see if they're worth the cost!

She did it!
That must be horrifying

wait if you can just walk through them
why is she worried about walking through them
wait what threat do they pose

I'm not sure why she's worried about Hana walking through them, but maybe she's worried about possession
For her she seems convinced if she lets them know she acknowledges their existence that they'll become aggressive to her

what the hell

she's SUPER cursed
and I guess her friend is SUPER blessed

Although her friend gets things clinging to her
Yeah the old lady seems to figure her friend is a spirit magnet
Which is kind of more cursed than Mieruko

i hope these don't just break as soon as she puts them on
please no

nooo.....
.

Well it drew out a more serious reaction from the spook though

i feel bad for the old lady

I dunno how bad I feel for her
Her attemped charity for Mieruko was nice but just before she was happily scamming people

seems like she's inspired tho
maybe we'll see her later

Yeah, I could see that
Sounds like she might be the grandmother of that girl with the gradient hair too

thanks for waiting for me
thanks for anime
nighty night

Thanks for anime!
Good luck with the work week
