The only show that's not already on my list that I'm planning on watching this season is "Rifle is Beautiful"

I might also check out the first episode of "Tenka Hyakken: Meiji-kan e Youkoso!" since it is only 6 minutes long and I don't see any boys in the promotional art.

Chidori RSC used secret technique: Get all the girls together within 7 minutes of the first episode

it's super effective!

other cute girls shows don't know how to respond





I think hikari might be run's' moderately less retarded cousin with some of these faces and stealth assets on top of literally being the nichijou girl

The new Sora no Method episode is out.
https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-10-13/celestial-method-anime-new-episode-streams-on-youtube/.152185

Boruto episode 128 yesterday sent Boruto and Sasuke back in time to the original pre-Shippuden era, so Boruto will get to spend an arc with Naruto and co. as kids. Since I haven't read/watched Naruto, this will be my first time seeing them young. I love how wrong this is. (Also shout out to deep-voiced battle milf Temari in the last arc)

I've been looking forward to this part of SAO Alicization, wasn't expecting another slow start. Asuna ASAP plz

2 of 2 Azur Lane episodes have had me gently weeping at the battle scenes so far, I wonder what the final tally will be. It's so easy, happy go oh lucky

It's possible to have sexualized lolis in your game but then not actually do that in your anime, it turns out you can make a pretty enjoyable anime if you do that.

But the safest business practice is clearly to focus on what our existing customers value, rather than reaching for the sky by trying to make a show with broader appeal

Gah I'm too tired to deal with battleshipcode

"The character I enjoyed watching most in ep 1 was nowhere to be seen this week, probably bullied out of existence."

She was there in an inflatable lifeboat.

"Also this may come from my relatively conservative upbringing but if you name your supposedly hot female boat character after a dude (or a boat named after a dude) it becomes 500% less appealing."

My dad was an evangelical pastor, and I found out about sex from reading a book in a church library when I was 11. *shrug* For me it varies and it can take some getting used to, but often I like it. I'm glad Friedrich der Große https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Friedrich_der_Grosse got the name she did rather than the more historically plausible, but less cool, "Ulrich von Hutten" or "Götz von Berlichingen." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-class_battleship_proposals

"Why the hell are there little yellow birds everywhere?"

The Manjuu birds are the mascot of Manjuu, the primary company that created the game. I wasn't expecting to see them in the anime, but then again they have appeared in in-game story art, so I guess I should have. It was sweet when Bismarck lent her manjuu band to little fangirl U-556 for her commissioning, as the real Bismarck did.

"Hopefully this Hanmann girl gets bullied."

AGREED! Throw Hammann in the stagnant roadside pool! The game staff did! https://twitter.com/azurlane_en/status/1177613870917025792?lang=en

...I put Unicorn in it

Added Tenka Hyakken: to season list.

"Chidori RSC used secret technique: Get all the girls together within 7 minutes of the first episode"

On that note, unrelated to whether Noukin is good or not, it has a lot of negative reviews on Crunchyroll from disgruntled LN readers. The top one by zebers:
She did not meet her party members in this way and they completely wrote out her entire experience as Adele and her first set of friends. The entire reason she is running as "Mile" and became a hunter if the first place is just not there. So at best they will have maybe a 15 second flashback of what is the entirety of book 1. I'm just so completely shocked at how completely and utterly off base they are.

Apparently the manga edited the story the same way. To me, meeting one group of girls and then having the main girl switch into a whole new group about 1/3 through the show sounds like a TERRIBLE idea for what will almost certainly be a 1-cour-only series.

Yeah I couldn't care less about how much they are deviated from the original LN plot. I'm enjoying what it is now and I'm never gonna read the LN so hah. Take that LN nerds. I'm enjoying the bad adaptation of the story you like.

But yeah now that I think about it the plot doesn't make sense. Like how did she not realize how overpowered she is until the events of ep 1? You figure she would have pieces that one together a while ago. Oh well I'm not exactly into this show for the story so I don't mind overlooking something like that. But I guess if you're looking for reasons to be mad at it there are some pretty glaring ones.

Also tbh reading this description of the show and seeing how the characters really want to learn Mile's secrets in the show. I definitely anticipate more than 15 seconds dedicated to her backstory. Hopefully it's not too dramatic. Changing the order of events in an adaptation isn't always a bad thing. The anime for Gakkou Gurashi had Mii-kun from the beginning and showed how she joined later in a flashback episode. That worked fine. If they dedicate an episode to Mile being candid and telling about her old party then that will sate my curiousity at least.

I've been complaining about cute girls shows taking forever to get their casts together for so long it's only right that I credit one that does, looking at you magical tangerine and red nico.

Afterschool Dice Club committed the sin of attempting to get sappy and emotional with characters we've known for all of an hour.

The game selected was almost a perfect opportunity to showcase Miki's personality or lack thereof, an outstanding choice. The educational part of the show is done so well but the characters are just really blah outside of Aya.

Bajar has now seen Aya in her underwear by the riverbank, been in her house AND met her sister plus he hasn't made her lose at any games, what now unnecessary male character?

I wasn't sure about Dice Club but I liked it much more this week than the first two. If the dude is around a lot it'll be one of those rare nCGDCT with a useless side boy like Chu-Bra.

Rydae "reviewed" the episode on Funimation:
My fave type of girl.
HAHAHA, Mad Dog Kyoko, luv it. Tough girls like her are my faves. Just like Uotani from Fruits Basket or Saki from Zombieland Saga. There's just somethin about ex-ganger anime girls with a heart of gold that really makes me happy. XD

And none of these are a main character in a small group, but they should be, I want more.

I wanted to marry my Belfast, but she maintains the maid/master relationship even in her oath skin and that makes me uncomfortable....

I have one of the Chinese loli twins https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Ning_Hai in the game, didn't think she and her sister were very likeable, but they're much more so in the condition they're found in in the show. I was hoping the show would get me to warm up on Enterprise and the starters, but it hasn't so far.

I'm super happy Yorktown isn't dead in this version of events, and that ships aren't dying at all at least so far. I wonder whether she's in a coma.

"the game knows its user base a lot better than I do." The ara ara crowd is being underserved by the fanservice so far though :P Atago is coming.... (I did oath her recently)

I didn't realize Rifle Is Beautiful was about beam rifles rather than airsoft until I watched the first episode last week. "That seems like it might be fun to do but boring to watch," I thought, "let's see the show prove that wrong." So far it has only confirmed it. Even range archery is better to watch, since you get to see the archer pull and release the string, and watch the arrow fly. Episode 2 actually devoted chunks of time to letting the girls play an entirely different sport.

From this, it doesn't sound like the show's Japan is the real Japan, but rather a future the show wants to help create. Which would be cool. https://www.pref.saitama.lg.jp/oly-para/eng/overview/events/shooting.html
In recent years, “Laser beam rifle” which use a light beam instead of real bullet to shoot a target has gradually become common and the door is open to the general populace including elementary school and junior high school students through on-site training sessions and others.

(...) In Japan, now about 10,000 people enjoy shooting sports.

(...) Every year, the shooting population is decreasing and only a few youths joined the association(...)

compared to the board game adventure the rifleblobs show isn't as strong in the subject matter but I also find myself less bored (get it) by it at most points. Hikari's voice bothers me, it's not a female lead voice.

Hikari's vacant stares makes me wonder why there are so few dumb run momoki expression images. Am I going to have to make my own?

AYA YOUR SISTER IS SO HOT [2] Yeah I was also wondering how they hadn't met.

Oddly enough, despite having a British mother, I was never encouraged to try putting malt vinegar on fish & chips until I found it at Long John Silver's after we moved from upstate New York to Pittsburgh.

"STOP PUTTING KETCHUP ON EVERYTHING STUPID FUCKING AMERICAN."

I put ketchup on almost everything savory, normally including spaghetti and pizza. These days I have both vinegar and ketchup with fish & chips. Generally I assume normie Americans only want it with burgers and hot dogs.

Saratoga is another overrated bote, though.

Points to Unicorn for feeding ants. The tiny ants that come through the window by my desk ate 6 whole mini candy canes this summer, but then stopped coming after I accidentally left a bag of salt & vinegar chips (crisps) on my desk and hundreds of them died from the vinegar powder.

Hierarchy in Azur Lane seldom makes sense because they like to hold off on the most famous ships to make a big deal out of releasing them later. Yamato never, Iowa never, they just put out Bismarck in May (simultaneous worldwide) along with King George V, which, I'm pretty sure Queen Elizabeth (named after Elizabeth I of course, doesn't look like her at all) is only in command because of her name (and she's not even SSR, she's SR), so if KGV had been there from the start would she be in command instead? Maybe.

Next week Princess Principal Maid and Edinburgh infiltrate the Sakura base, which is under the command of loli Nagato (a TERRIBLE change vs. KanColle) but in her dialogue after you get her Nagato says "I appointed Yamato to take over as flagship" and historically Musashi took over the role after Yamato, but neither of the Yamato class even have a design yet and probably won't for quite a while.

"Unicorn is actually pretty hot, why did they have to make her personality like a shy 12 year old?"

To make her hotter to the target audience....

Yesterday they finally revealed a Lewd2D that targets ME and I learned about womb tattoos https://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/dktkvw/gneisenau_halloween_skin_revealed/

The slightly formal name for this is

English = womb tattoo
Japanese = inmon

It’s history is a bit distorted but there is a relationship between the shape of a heart and the shape of a womb. This location is also where you stick the heated metal rod to damage the reproductive function of a woman if you are an old fashioned slaver that needed her not to get pregnant. Naturally you’d cover up the damage with a tattoo or something.

Keep in mind that in Japan it was theorized that the soul was not found in the head or chest like other cultures but rather in the stomach.

In modern times this is most associated with hentai because it looks lewd as fuck and the heart shape makes it feel like a mockery of things innocent girls like which makes it feel even more lewd and then there is this exponential lewd as fuck factor depending on who or what kind of person it is found on.

Keep in mind that it isn’t necessarily sexual but may be indicative of a cursed bloodline or something though that outfit suggests it’s just a cosplay slut of some sort or maybe both.


"Oh one of these Chinese ships is voiced by Misaki Kuno. Major points for that. Now just need her to wear animal kigurumis and we are golden."

She has the lewd type of bunny suit instead https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Ping_Hai

I'm slowly accepting that Noukin just... isn't good? Mile doing the moe-moe kyun was certainly above average though.

So I checked in on Z/X and it's basically "we took all the lolis from the main show and gave them a spinoff to make dumb faces and occasionally mention the overarching plot" and that's a good call. Don't know how serious this will get in time but it hasn't been as serious as Crimson Reina threatening to melt a guy into a puddle of goo yet.

I guess it's a distant sequel to the original show that was more faithful to the story behind the card game I dunno, but basically in this one regular girls get paired with the titular Z/X who come from time/space rifts and are for the most part also cute girls but not quite human and they... do stuff and make dumb faces, I guess. Lots of cute girls but no high tier mega qts unfortunately.





Rifle is Beautiful having the problem of a kind of generic cast (with only four girls grrrr) is mitigated by already visiting a second school with a couple of memorable girls in it, like cool club prez and kinda zannen first year. I hope they never find out about Hikari's hidden talents, it could be a game-changer.

Kandagawa Jet Girls has had way more jet racing than I would have expected after the first episode, they're actually integrating the fanservice into the show pretty well at those points. No way their next opponents can be as cool as Peach and Orange though.

Today: goiter









I don't think there's ever before been a season where my preference was as exactly diametrically opposite you guys as this. Not even Winter 2018 comes close :D Even within "Dice" Club, after episodes 1 and 2 I wanted to drop it, but I liked episodes 3 and 4, while Bajar liked it more at first than later. I agree the rifle rival school girls are better than the main cast, though that's a low bar.

Edit: Kandagawa recap next week due to production failure https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1808832

It's looked good so far considering it was only announced in July. Obviously it was in the works since 2018, but that July PV contained very little animation.

glad we had the same reaction to that "great memory" line.

huh Winter 2018? *quickly looks it up to remind himself* Holy shit what an amazing season that was. Sora Yori and After the Rain I both have at 10. Then on top of that you have Yuru Camp, Mitsuboshi Colors, Hakumei to Mikochi, Slow Start, and Takunomi. I even got enjoyment out of shows like Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san, Pop Team Epic, and the definitely not CGDCT thriller Kokkoku. Man this current season has nothing on that one. Those were the golden days.

Funny how Yuru Camp is one of the most beloved CGDCT but was only my 3rd favourite of that season. I guess it was similar for you. You have it as above average but clearly had another favourite that season.

This is at least as unusual as the infamous plea to fans to buy BDs to get the second season greenlit. Apparently this "Chitose" episode was funded by Chitose City, Hokkaido, and features a new angel voiced by a seiyuu from Chitose... read the article. "The story will deal with the process and incentives of the hometown tax program." Uh. Why do you want guro naked snake-loli promoting your hometown tax program?

I guess this is what happens after you spend real money in the game. (Akashi is the green catgirl shopkeeper above, if you cross the Himalayas on foot for her she'll join your fleet)


I still haven't finished the quest to get her. It's much easier to get her to join your fleet in the anime, *nyaa~*

I've seen chat edgelords call her "jew cat." Apparently Akashi (a repair ship) was also a shopkeeper in KanColle.

I don't even need to say that Rifle 4 was by far my favorite episode.



Winter 2018 was when AP went over the moon and gave both Yuru Camp and Mitsuboshi Colors 10/10. I would have rated Yuru Camp a whole point higher if it had been a 6-episode ova - I thought it was great at first, but sometime around the middle I simply got tired of watching Rin drive around by herself and deadpan-react to goofy texts from Nadeshiko. I guess Slow Start and Re-Kan should be the next backlog CGDCT I watch.

jet girls had basically a raceless episode but in turn we've got one at the very start of next week, that's good. Very pleased they brought the foreigner girls back instead of them being a one off. GOODNESS.

Chidoro RSC by being "ok" four times has basically sown up a top-two spot. Yukio and the loser freshman at the other school get a couple laughs a week out of me and that's been enough.

https://www.animemaru.com/azur-lane-anime-staff-fails-to-pull-episode-7/
Bibury Animation Studios put out a press release yesterday that they were delaying episode 7 of Azur Lane due to the fact they had been unable to pull a single version of episode 7.

“People may think we call Azur Lane a gatcha anime because it’s adapted from a gatcha game, but we actually mean it far more literally,” director Tanaka Motoki told the media.

“All of the show’s episodes actually come from a gacha game called Azur Lanimation. Each week there’s a new event where the next episode of the show is made available, and we try to pull the newest episode.”

Unfortunately, staff at Bibury were unable to pull any copies of episode 7 before the week’s event expired, and has therefore cancelled episode 7 entirely. The staff has stated that they will hopefully be able to pull episode 8 in time for next week’s broadcast.

“We spent over 80,000 yen on pulls, but we just kept getting repeats of episode 1 and 3 without a single episode 7. Since we ended up missing the boat (no pun intended) on the episode 7 event, we’ll just have to go without for now. Hopefully they run the event again in a year and we can show you episode 7 then.”

Bilbury also apologized for the low animation quality of previous episodes, saying they were only barely able to pull C-ranks for episodes 5 and 6.

Re: chat, well I mean unless your story is about Gandhi or something. If it's about a band of adventurers in a world full of amoral murderers, I don't see any way that goes well.

Come to think of it, the strongest warrior in Vinland Saga (I'm still reading the manga, haven't started the show) decided that "a true warrior needs no sword." Characters are clearly taking this too literally when they assume he means barehanded fighting, but he is conveniently strong enough to easily knock enemies out of action barehanded, without killing any of them. (He and certain others' extreme capability in battle strains suspension of disbelief, in what's meant to be a real-world setting.) But at the Faroe Islands, if he had killed the berserker Bjorn instead of temporarily knocking him out, Bjorn wouldn't have been able to take his son hostage.

In Noukin, Mile is an absurdly overpowered isekai protagonist, which makes the setting unfair for serious discussion of whether killing is necessary. It's easy for any writer to keep their characters safely out of any situations in which the clear best solution would be to kill, so that he/she can pretend they're making a case for nonviolence, when actually it's a contrived fantasy with no meaning or bearing on that real-world moral question.

I still like Noukin overall, I just take issue with it doing that. If it were to pull the "If you kill him, you're no better than him" line like Steins;Gate 0 did, then I'd be really triggered.



In retrospect, actual worst to best would be Xenoglossia < Cinderella Girls = Symphogear < Idolmaster < AKB0048 < Love Live, I skipped Skip Beat and Locodol until later. Started Aikatsu a year ago and watched five episodes so far, I'm pretty sure I'd prefer watching Futari wa Pretty Cure.

I'm having a great Sunday morning so far. Was treated to the best Precure episode of the last 3 years and then a tremendous Rifle episode, probably the best one so far. Now I just need the Bills to win for this to be one of the best Sundays ever.

Concur with Bajar that this was the best rifle episode so far and moves it from a borderline 7 to solidly in there if I ever remember to update my lists. Lots of quick gags that didn't feel stilted, natural cast interactions, more bullying of the first-years, terrific episode.

And just in time too, since we know that saikoro club is dropping the 1-2 punch of blonde foreigner and maids on me this week, an almost unstoppable combination that... what if they combine them?

Noukin much better this week though they really need to stop with the 40 year old references.

God-tier episode of saikoro that pushes it from a low 6 to a borderline 6/7 and a second episode of this quality might move it ahead of hikari and friends

Sort of, it's not an event I've played but Dark Enterprise / Alterprise was a thing in the game. See "The Key" here https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/

Seems like the Siren stuff in the game's writing is always a big ball of ~~~ooooooh isn't this dark and complex and mysteeeeeerious and soooo saaaaad~~~~

Akagi wanting to get mama Amagi back was never her motivation to side with Sirens in the game, as far as I know, though she'd certainly like to and it makes more sense than just being the Saruman. Some fans are still hoping the story will actually follow the game after this but I don't see why, and I hope it stays its own thing.

I was hoping Enty would stay "possessed" and be everyone's main enemy for the next few episodes, hehe. That would make a nice change. I'm really tired of watching the girls fight each other just because Akagi says so.

I wanted to see Midori be all reluctant to put the outfit on but they just cut to her already wearing it :/
