Unrelated, I'm quite excited for an E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy sequel/remake.
hipster occupational hazard
this episode brought to you by the partnership for a drug-free nippon
the fuck was morihito's grandpa doing? mercenary work?
i like how they preserved the great care the author took to just barely avoid feeding into yuri
wonder if we're going to find out this is actually some sort of embellishment, so to speak.
big reveal of the series #2
and immediately after that, moi thinks of exactly this.
hello rapechad! i'm the soon-to-be-raped.
Hmm.
Has it already hurt people?
Hmm.
Has it already hurt people?
getting a few Darker than Black vibes from all this background information
woman just went "god i wish that was me"
It felt like I'm watching an entirely different anime, the fuck
>Kanshi
KWAB
Tengu got owned
i hope this pocket dimension isn't a warlock-exclusive spell because this sounds pretty badass.
>your boss date rape drugs a total smokeshow for you
rapechads have it so easy these days
n-n-no it's not like i wanted to job to collect intel for you or anything
All of a sudden. We battle shonen now
>>279683411well it has to justify being in WSJ somehow
>>279683349a cat is fine too
this episode was great, plus it had some neat background information some of which becomes more suspicious after you read later chapters of the manga.
I actually really like it if a story doesn't totally genre-lock itself, which is why I enjoy this series a lot.
>Anime is no longer a gag
>Immediately goes to rape scenes
Typical
This is for wasting an entire episode on your stupid jobs
>>279683700Fuck that faggot and the streamer, worst characters ever.
>>279683700>>279683265Don't be mean to Kan-chan.....
>>279683700>>279683265Keigo should've beaten him up more
Just saying
>>279683714Keigo does something actually good eventually in the chapters what late in the second cour will presumably depict.
Kan-chan is just a dipshit who's here to get owned. You probably don't care much for professional jobbers, though.
Pantyhose = sex
Thanks for listening
>>279683411What, did you expected this to be a romcom? Did you ever bother into watching the OP?
>>279683772Oni should drop the dumb witch and go for the cat witch.
>Nemu got rapepilled
>Literally
Oh nyo
I didn't even know there's a difference between Warlock and Witches. I thought it was just a different name for the same thing
This episode wasn't very funny
>>279684423I thought the difference was warlock was more exclusives to males while witches are usually referring to female magicians
>the plot episodes are supposed to be good
>it's more boring than poop guy episode
yikes
Is the pacing really fast? Or is this how the manga did it?
>>279684446VERy horny witch.
>>279684629It does seem like this episode could've been stretched out to at least three episodes.
There was so many things happening, it's hard to believe the episode before this spent almost the entire episode on the Student Council
>>279684655>>279684629The pacing caught me off guard too. I'm pretty sure this anime is 2 cour unless Bibury wants to do more gag episodes instead.
>>279684569Warlocks/witches use a kind of magic
Wizard/wizardress uses another
But clearly the usual interpretations are not applied in this story
>>279684633No thoughts on that head except for cock
What's stopping Keigo from using his much more hotter form to gain more youtube views.
>>279684779he doesn't believe in looksmaxxing
>>279683772>sex>cuteBest girl!
>>279684779They'll still be filtered by him talking about bands no one gives a shit about
>>279683772Imagine sex with this dork... god damn it would be awkward.
>>279684779Japanese women prefer twinks.
SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXX

KIno
Really wished these episodes came in earlier instead of wasting it on filler episodes.
>>279685913WW doesn't work like that though.
It's always been gag first then everything else second.
>>279682634I get the feeling Yu Nomiya lifted the "ordinary candy but enchanted" bit wholesale for that Magical Girl & Narco Wars manga.
I felt immense joy when that wolf guy beat up Kanshi so badly.
>>279681814 (OP)>-Nemu being relevant>-A rapechadTwo sides of the same coin.
This episode was a mess. They rushed through 4 chapters and cut out some important lore about witches. Plus the animation was rough.
>>279684629No, they rushed this. This arc is 8 chapters in the manga and they appear to be cramming it all into 2 episodes. Everything else has been 2-3 chapters an ep.
money is literally precious after all
I wonder how much it costs to cast the spell
like does it know the market value of the repair, or could you trick it with a dollar?
wow, that was fucking lame
who is the bitchmade editor who decided that a weekly gag manga needed a battle arc and a big bad?
They really could've cut one of the previous episodes because it feels like I'm missing a lot in this episode. The one time where the plot gets interesting
>>279688923I think Episode 5 with and Kanshi's part time jobs should've been cut out.
>>279688923>>279687604Why would anyone want more episodes wasted on this terrible arc? Aren't there a dozen narous you could be watching?
>>279688989Personally, it's the episode with Kara, New Horizon, and the Nico/Morihito date felt the most unneeded. Kanshi is part of the main cast so his chapters were inevitable
>>279688923>>279687604It really is weird because they felt the need to make the Student Council chapter insanely long for a group of characters who barely appear outside of Tenryu
>>279689065They can't really cut that out either since the New Horizon chapter is extremely popular among fans
Japan as usual like the episode with high ratings so it's another week of /a/ being the weirdos
>>279683700Unironically deserved
>>279689254Nips always had shit taste
>>279689121The student council is stupidly popular. Those chapters, the New Horizons chspter, and the fast Kanshi one were the most viral voice comics so they were adapted way earlier. And because the student council president is the older brother of that clumsy girl, they also had to introduce her even earlier.
>>279689207The dumb thing is that Wolf and Nemu were supposed to have roles in the New Horizons chapter but because they adapted it early their roles were cut.
Any JPfags who can tell me what the joke was here? Some old 2ch meme?
>>279690041Detective Conan
The VA that voices the hacker is part of the Main Conan Cast
>>279690041After looking at the Japanese comments on the YouTube channel. It was about Detective Conan which also has 100 volumes. They did mention Shonen Magazine as a hint
>>279690434>>279690511How they got away with that one though.
>>279690561As long as they don't reference Conan directly, they're in the clear
Now tell me how they got away with the literal Jotaro image though
>>279690665Witch Watch is a Jump property, like Jojo.
>>279684655I don't think this arc had the best pacing in the manga, so it seems they'll just rush through it. Later plot arcs are better.
>>279684446>>279684633Fundamentally unsexy Nico
>>279685913>>279686240It's the tried and true method of 90% comedy 10% serious
>>279693320>>279693348made for rapechad wolf cock
Nico is for pump and dump
>>279693447Imagine cumming down her throat
>>279684683It is, this arc ends the first cour.
Chapter 205: the cosplay chapter
Miharu sexxxxxooooooooooo
Goddamn he's such a slut. Going into the mens restroom like that.
>>279696147>>279696115Sex with miharu, no matter if I die during the process
>>279684683It is 2 continuous cour so it'll extend to the summer season. Bibury likely wants to rush through the serious arcs since they're not built for that.
>>279681814 (OP)So we have plot now?
Genuinely got caught off guard by the Magami/Wolf reveal. Thanks for not spoiling it, sourcereaderfags
>>279696115This chapter made me laugh hard
>>279687604The loredump about witches and warlocks wasn't really cut though. The dialogue is definitely translated shorter and probably was shorter in voice lines, but they got pretty much the entire thing in the anime.
The description about the white magic limiter shown later was shortened a bit though.
>>279687664it's about your perception. poorfag will extract vastly more magic value from the same sum than a richfag
>>279690041Detective Conan
Basically when Akai "died", he said "no way it has come to this." It's an iconic line that was a clue to uncover the truth of his death.
When Conan hit 100 vols, "noway100volumes" was the hashtag they used to market it.
>>279685107Stop, stop. I can only get so hard.
>>279683050>Darker than BlackMy favorite anime
>WITCH one to pick
>WATCH me do magic
>>279693447That's not an adult woman, anon. You messed up this time.
not gonna lie, i did not see that twist coming
>>279698798Same. His "can we be friends" speech was a pure death flag, so I expected something to happen, but the transformation caught me off-guard.
>>279696196just have more max hp, can't be hard
>>279698798I didn't either, it was nice to be unspoiled.
>>279700123>>279698798it was a lot more obvious in the manga because the first plot arc is literally the second time they actually interact with him, lot of sourcefags complained about his chapters being moved forward but this works much better
What is this lame battle shonen shit? Is the rest of the series gonna be more like this? I thought this was gonna be more like Sket Dance but with magic
>>27970036515/85 - Serious/Fun
>>279700365It's sporadic, and also they're adapting this one really fast (it's 3.5 chapters, so if this pattern holds so the last episode of the arc will just be a drama episode)
I have no interest in what these losers are up to, show me more dork witch and dork cat witch interaction.
Oh no, cute dork witch is going to get an ego finding out she's special.
Cute dumb witch in love.
Cute dumb witch wife trying to help.
Poor cat witch as been catnapped.
Cute dorks using crackers to plan.
Cute witch dork cracker with a heart.
Ultimate anime betrayals volume 69.
What a twist.
>>279681814 (OP)bump. gonna watch the episode soon
>>279683496>>279684655I'm surprised this twist didn't get spoiled for me. The anime did well in making Keigo seem like just a normal member of the cast.
>>279683349>>279683656So the dog will fuck the cat? Logical pairing.
Was the Keigo thing foreshadowed or came from left field?
>>279704347In the manga? Not really. In his episodes that got pushed forward in the anime, his lower hair has the same color as Wolf (this was not in the early manga chapters at all)
>>279704347Forshadowed but not by that much. They're wearing the same sneakers if you catch it and Wolf and Keigo are also voiced by the same seiyuu
>>279704003how do i get a cat gf
>>279705049Just accept her the way she is
wait wolf and keigo are the same person?
>>279705563For the most part, yes. There's a longer explanation later.
>>279683700Kanshi getting beaten up is still him taking up screentime.
>>279683762I care about (female) jobbers which makes me dislike his role even more because we could've had a cute barefoot girl jobber getting beaten up and ryona'd instead. What I'm saying is Kan-chan would've been better as a girl.
>>279683700You know. Maybe we should get more battle episodes just so Kan-chan gets the shit beaten out of him again
>>279704347>>279704499The twist caught me completely by surprise back in '21, and since I stopped reading the manga years ago and had forgotten practically everything about it, it caught me by surprise again.
>>279687604>Plus the animation was rough.The animation has consistently been the weakest aspect of the show so far. Itโs a shame, the characters are so beautifully animated in the OP, and I would kill for that same level of care and detail in the episodes themselves. The direction is also as matter-of-fact and uninspired as it gets, which makes everything feel even duller.
>>279706761It's one of the lowest budget WSJ adaptations to date, which makes sense because it's one of their lower tier series.
Sakamoto Days adaptation had a higher budget somehow but I don't know what the fuck happened to that.
>>279700365It's the first PLOT arc and it was as clunky in the manga that's why they are rushing through it as it took 8 chapters(so basically an entire volume) in the manga. latter PLOT arcs are better paced and will have more characters to switch things around more, until one of the very recent ones that was almost as bad as this one. They don't happen often, but when they do you can tell right away.
>>279706761>>279706828It does feel just as low budget as Yozakura but for some reason, it didn't stop it from getting people to keep on watching it. Hell, it's one of the highest rated shows on Nico (heh)
In contrast to SD, you'd be hard pressed to see it retaining viewers. Part 2 might still change that but it's grim
This show is so bad and boring, I just won't believe you liked this one after you all shit on Shikanoko so much.
>>279707022Deer Girl tried too hard to be a meme.
>What if cute girl.......but with deer horns
>>279707015That's the funniest thing to me. Maybe Japan just sees things differently to this show unlike with /a/ complaining about it every episode.
>>279706828>>279707015SD does have a higher budget but was given to a studio with very little history of battle shonen. Let alone as complicated as Sakamoto's. Then the director it was given to barely does action but is good with SoL
Then the anime removed the SoL chapters for whatever reason. The anime had a hard time building an identity that left it being a mess. Part 2 does seem like it's going all in on the action but expectations are low
>>279707146It's sort of like Japan absolutely loathing Shiunji and Danjou but the west absolutely lovinf then
>>279707228Japan loathes Miyajima so it's no surprise they hate Shiunji as much as they do with Rent a Girlfriend.
>>279696596The main thing that was cut was Nemuโs reaction. In the anime it comes off like she already knows that Nico is the Witch of Thousands, but in the manga she is shocked to learn how many spells Nico can use and comes to the conclusion in the moment. I prefer how the manga handled it, otherwise it comes off like Nemu was knowingly trying to steal a familiar from a legendary witch who needs the protection more than anyone else.
>>279707439>otherwise it comes off like Nemu was knowingly trying to steal a familiar from a legendary witch who needs the protection more than anyone else.Shinohara is directly involved in the adaptation unlike the last ones his previous series had, so he probably thought that fit her (initially) haughty personality better.
It amazes me how useless Nico can be
>>279681822Holy based EYE enjoyer
>>279708450I hope they still have the Natural Born Killer achievement in the new game.
>>279683700Anon this is a gintama or sket dance, the wacky comedy is the point and is going to be 90% of the episodes, serious arcs are few and far between.
>>279707439>In the anime it comes off like she already knows that Nico is the Witch of Thousands, but in the manga she is shocked to learn how many spells Nico can useRead the next page. Nemu is merely shocked at the fact that Nico can use that many spells but she knows Nico is the Witch of Thousands. She's the one that told them which is why Nico repeats out loud "Witch of Thousands"
Wait when did Moi tell Nico about the prophecy?
>>279710302Never cause they were afraid anxiety and fear could cause dark magic cause she's still a witch in training. She only knew the prophecy until now because she's in danger
>>279709917Yes, because Nemu is smart. Upon hearing how many spells Nico can use, she comes to the conclusion that Nico is the Witch of Thousands and thatโs why warlocks are after her. She did not know beforehand.
>>279707491Yes, Shinohara clearly has involvement, but that doesnโt mean every single thing that happens is decided by him. Plus this episode was a rushed mess โ Shinohara is a better writer than this.
>>279707439>Nemu was knowingly trying to steal a familiar from a legendary witch who needs the protection more than anyone else.but that's based
>>279688923The pacing can be really weird in certain episodes. Student Council took so much time that it made Nemu's segment in the same episode feel like an afterthought
>>279682722probably inviting his students over for some intimate bonding
you know, standard jap teacher stuff
>>279714736well i more meant how he could afford the house expansion
