banished from the hero's party night is one of my favorite nights
Anno
Wednesdays are kind of an isekai night in general Or well the closest to one we have this season
Anno
*Heike Monogatari Isekai Shokudou Episode 3-5 Kimetsu no Yaiba - Mugen Ressha-hen Episode 2-3 Kyoukai Senki Love Live! Superstar!! Episode 11-12 *Muv-Luv Alternative *Sekai Saikou no Ansatsusha, Isekai Kizoku ni Tensei suru Selection Project Episode 2-3 *Taishou Otome Otogibanashi Episode 2-4 Visual Prison Episode 2-4 Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru - Dai Mankai no Shou
Anno
how's selection project
Anno
Well the first episode was fun I wouldn't say it's anything more than a standard aidoru anime
Yuu
muv luv
sekai heike taisho? 2
then isekai restaurant maybe?
Anno
We also have Shin no Nakama, sorry I thought I wrote that into the list
Yuu
shin last then
okay
muvluv okay lets start
Anno
orange
Anno
Reaaaady
Anno
He has a kind of indifferent approach to his time looping Doesn't really try to conceal knowledge he only has because he's been 'round this bend before
Anno
what the hell is even happening
Anno
I wonder how much of the game they've retooled for this modern remake of it Because some of the content still really feels like it's smack out of the early-00s
Anno
yeah i mean that was a pretty weird 5 minutes considering the rest of the show feels kinda out of place
Yuu
>arem't you a genius why didn't you fail er why did
Anno
Yeah that's a pretty dumb assumption from him hah hah Plenty of smart people run up against the unfortunate realization that their intelligence isn't always enough to solve serious problems
Anno
this whole conversation just now was whack as all hell
Anno
I saw a lady earlier today in a Wendy's that was carrying either a tacky katana hilt umbrella or an even tackier mall ninja-esque katana I'm pretty sure it was the umbrella because I can't imagine she'd be in a public place like that with an actual weapon
Anno
This is some pretty cool mecha combat action The units look cool in motion
Anno
i'm sure that's a pretty big cliffhanger for someone who knows whoever the fuck that guy is
Anno
i think i might drop this show
Anno
I'm still down for watching it It's definitely something that could have needed more time building up though Still weird they went straight in to Alternative when it builds off of two other whole scale narratives in the first place
Yuu
I really liked the first episode but it's been dull since then
sekai okay lets start
Anno
Which is kind of funny because the first episode was entirely anime-original content
Anno
i was about to say, yeah it is pretty funny that the only good episode so far has been the anime-original one
Anno
More of this goddesses' trial and error with heroes
Anno
does she just cosplay for whoever dies
Anno
Yeah seems like it
Anno
The samurai was an improvement over the previous one at least
Anno
i hope cool stuff starts happening soon we've had a lot of buildup and growing up but i wanna see stuff like in ep 1
Anno
so is he basically a local diety now
Anno
He's the son of the local lord So yeah, even if he hadn't done a lot to help people, they'd probably be paying respect to him
Anno
damn he's layin it on thick
Anno
It would seem sweet if we hadn't gotten his whole monologue about brainwashing her before
Anno
He's got a whole bunch of mana marbles
Anno
yeah considering the damage the last one did that's enough marbles to do a REALLY big boom
Anno
Hopefully he doesn't actually try to kill his dad
Anno
I guess his dad is his own fair share of a pro assassin though
Yuu
assassin battle time this is the first time he's really been tested
Anno
It's probably also the last time for a while he'll be seriously tested, at least in combat With how much he's a perfect breed of an OP isekai protagonist, it's hard to imagine anyone would be able to best him At least before the Yuusha makes their appearance
Anno
murder murder murder
Anno
There's a lot of people who need being assassinated, eh
Anno
Merchant's a good cover for an assassin Provides validity for why you're travelling all over the place
Anno
Haughty noble brat Doesn't really fit the rest of the Tuathe De
Anno
I guess he turned around pretty well Maybe all he needed was someone to beat him up a bit
Anno
ominous OMINOUS
Anno
>>997655 his personality is too fiery and loud to be an assassin anyways he'll probably make a great knight
Anno
that episode was pretty cool but i'm sad that there's going to be at least one more episode of training probably i want him to start doing assassinations and stuff
Yuu
I guess the action is going to start soon I expect the hero to be a girl still
heike okay lets start
Anno
heike
Anno
Keiki
Anno
I really like the video for the OP Like the song is good too but they set up the video like it's a music video almost That's something you see for EDs some times but it's really rare to see it for an OP
Anno
This guy looks far more like a bandit than a general
Anno
Shigemori's sons are really starting to look like they're growing up
Heh
Anno
Stories of battle like that always make me feel bad for the horses The human soldiers in one way or another are unfortunate, but the horses didn't understand the situation But fall to their deaths all the same
Yuu
The hats from then were so goofy koreans had funny hats too
Anno
Plenty of Chinese Imperial dynasties had silly hats too
Although on the European side we also had those dunce-esque caps you see ladies of the court wearing in some art from the Medieval eras
Anno
It almost seems like a rule of thumb for the ruling nobility is to design some ridiculous hat to wear
Anno
This series does a great job of conveying a sense of tragedy for Shigemori's children They were caught up in a duty to their family and the machinations of their grandfather, and the complicity of their father Who knows if the real sons felt as they did, but their regret and feeling trapped by an obligation to their clan makes for a good tragedy here
Anno
Oh no Biwa
Yuu
sengoku era was hardcore taisho ep 2
okay lets start
Anno
i need 5 mins brb
Anno
>>997671 The story of the Heike actually happened long before the Sengoku era kicked off! The Sengoku era begun sometime in the mid-1400s, and the Genpei war, which the Heike Monogatari is a somewhat mythlogized account of, happened in the late 1100s >>997675 Yeah but Goku don't real and Kiyomori is only like 33% don't real
Anno
back sorry i am good now >>997673 actually the son goku period is all the time because goku could def beat kiyomori in a fight >>997673 if goku isn't real then explain how i lent him energy for the spirit bomb when i was a kid yeah i thought so
Anno
there is fairy tale in the title so i think that makes it easier to overlook the darker side of things at play here
Anno
i haven't had fish in a while aside from fried fish, but that doesn't really count
i want some salmon in a salad with spinach and olive oil
Yuu
makes me want some fish it's been awhile since i've had some good fish
Anno
I wonder if the izakaya I liked going to before everything had to shut down is still open They did a great salmon burger with a Japanese-inspired assembly
Anno
that's not very comfy
Anno
Poor kid's not really getting the help he needs His whole family besides his asshole dad dies and instead of getting trauma help he just shunted off to some secluded mountain estate It's no wonder he's struggling to get out of bed
Anno
he's losing it
Anno
whyever
Anno
With how hard he's blushing I'm surprised his head felt cooler
Anno
he was probably really really feverous so now he's only at 100 instead of 105
Anno
Tokyo! Taishou-era Tokyo was probably a cool place You had all the style and modernized infrastructure of the Meiji Restoration before it all went to hell in WWII
Yuu
This scene could be in kimetsu well this scenery
Anno
>>997690 100%, because Kimetsu no Yaiba also takes place in the Taishou era
Anno
>She's just like a little kid Isn't she still a little kid?
Anno
Wild to imagine buying that much fabric for only 22yen
Also I guess despite all but abandoning his son, his dad must still be leaving him with a stipend or allowance
Anno
back then, it was 2 yen to a dollar not 2 yen to today dollar but 2 yen to 1921 dollar so that would have actually been pretty expensive apparently his family is loaded as all hell too if his father didn't consider it a big deal to buy him a wife for like a decade or two of a working man's salary
Anno
Ice cream!
Anno
damn i want ice cream now
Yuu
wow modern looking desert
Anno
i'm already at my calorie limit it's just sitting downstairs in the freezer waiting for me but i can't
Anno
I wonder when the Japanese transitioned from it being "ice cream" to "ice" Although the Japanese "aisu" covers a broad variety of desserts from actual ice cream to things like frozen popsicles/creamsicles But I don't think anyone over there really calls it ice cream anymore
Anno
So they're both dead kids to their parents Although with different circumstances
Anno
how devious
Anno
I thought the premise was his mother and imouto died Maybe he never really liked this one in the first place so wouldn't have mourned her death
Anno
i don't like her
Anno
thought he had like a bunch of siblings
Anno
this is the one who had the really evil demon teeth in the first ep when he was remembering what she said to him
Anno
She's so tiny compared to everyone else in this show
Yuu
lots of good scenery that episode
shin next this is a good show okay lets start
Anno
rit time!
i'm enjoying this show so much that it might end up being my favorite i can't really say it's better than some of the competition but i have quite the soft spot for it
Anno
Each episode the question must be asked Will Red continue to be a dense motherfucker
Anno
damn the guy with the hood and the creepy eye
Anno
I wonder what's up with the arm wrap or bracer-y thing Red wears Maybe it's just a style thing But he's wearing it even when he's dressed casually at home
Anno
Oh well that's an oddly coincidental title
Anno
hahaha of course
Anno
She sure is happy to be needed
Anno
Thieves' Guilds are always one of those funny contrivances of fantasy While organized crime has almost always been common, the notion of an organized guild of thieves is pretty silly Especially one that has members known to the public
Yuu
she's so devoted
Yuu
He did a good job with that.
Anno
awwwww
Anno
It's kinda funny how onboard he is about her being a lifetime partner of his while also trying his damnedest to look away from her romantic advances
Anno
i think he's just taking his time
Anno
Wow look at this nutcracker
Anno
Well that kind of explains why this elf booked it from the party as soon as Gideon left it She obviously was in it for him a fair bit
Yuu
uhoh
Anno
i feel like this is foreshadowing that she's going to show up and try to crash red and rit's party
Anno
She was such a tsundere in the past Being more honest with how much she likes Red was a smart move
Anno
the hero seems kind of anti-fun
Anno
That mage was always a pain in the ass eh
Anno
>>997728 I think she's just a bit off in the head Her single focus is killing the Maou Everything else is unnecessary
Yuu
yeah what gave it away
oh yeah getting angry when embarrassed is a bad habit
Anno
Well this makes her out to be far less of a homewrecker, I guess Maybe even if she shows up around Red and Rit she'll just be happy he's now happy
Anno
It's also really funny to me how everyone gets how useful and relevant to the party Gideon was Aside from this stick-in-the-ass mage
Yuu
Why are thugs harassing her
Anno
Yeah I was going to say She hasn't really been keeping her lineage secret
>>997734 I think they want to get to Red through her
Yuu
Oh I guess they want her adventuring cause the theives did it's not gonna work on her though
Anno
Happy people living satisfying lives sure seem nice
Anno
hahahahahahaahahaha ruti is either going to see through this guy or she hasn't found out yet and when she does she's probably going to turn this guy into a paste
Yuu
she actually did turn him into paste
Anno
Man
Anno
HOLY FUCK
Anno
That was a fate even worse than paste
Anno
i wonder how this guy doesn't realize how much he's fucked up or is he just incapable of going back on himself too prideful maybe
Yuu
She's dangerous
Anno
You kinda have to be dangerous if you're going to take on an entire demonic army mostly by yourself
Anno
she kinda snapped for a split second like the conclusion she came to was right but they way she handled her emotions was something like a psychotic episode like damn she exploded his side with her palm
Anno
To be fair a couple of the others who knew Gideon think the mage offed him to get him out of the party If she even considered that as what happened I don't think her reaction was entirely unwarranted
Yuu
she's the yandere imouto kind of dangerous
Anno
well aside from rupturing that guy into oblivion for a few seconds that was very nice and fun this episode showed just how committed rit is, and red too to some extent
