ShitPlease torrent is out.Btw, I started reareading the manga, this time in Japanese, and I noticed that Asa's parents did not have a legal marriage. During the report of the accident, they also describe Asa as "Dad's eldest daughter". As far as I can remember, Asa's biological mom was Minori.So, during the funeral, I found it odd she calls herself a girl without any relatives. I mean, her grandma and all that side of the family should be relatives. I'm not sure how common law marriages work in Japan, but it would be odd to think a marriage license is required to consider someone a relative or not (from the family's PoV).

>>285911081I also understood what it was I found weird about the visuals of the anime. They fail to fully capture Makio's pure sex looks from the first volume. The longer face does not do her any favors, and something about the softness around her eyes is almost gone in the anime.Sadly, in the later volumes her gaze is simplified which matches the anime more close. The mangaka probably found the right way to draw her more confidently in less time. That first impression of her more "soft" sexy looks always stayed with me throughout the rest of the manga.

SHUT THE FUCKING UP!
>>285911081>I noticed that Asa's parents did not have a legal marriage.I mean, that was a plot point. Makio was shocked to find out that her sister only had a common-law marriage with her husband, even though her idea of her sister was that she wanted to be as normal as possible.
>>285911708I'd probably take the peach tea.
>>285911871She's a rude girl.

Fried Green Tomatoes
>>285909752Started this today. Really great! In part because of how sharp, well-observed and naturalistic the interactions are. And in part bc I'm in Lanky Androgynous Girl Heaven.>>285911564She's so hot it pisses me off. Visually appeals to my bifauxnen fetish but even beyond that her personality is so attractive. Constitutionally introverted and reserved, but with a lifetime's worth of experiences learning how to manage that, picking up strategies, picking up a sense for when to listen to that part of herself vs when to muscle past it. Definitely helps me understand why some people here are so into hags.

Poor girl can't deal with her sister changing as she grew. It'd suck to find out that your bully became a happy and accepting person once they left you behind.

>>285911081>they also describe Asa as "Dad's eldest daughter".Implying the father had an affair or something and people knew about it? I don't really understand how that could work in the story.

>>285912158Will Makio finally realize her autism by the end of the show?
>>285911264Holy fuck, this was brutal. You can't drop a bomb like this on a poor aspie hag. Asa really is her mother's daughter.
>>285912400Guess because she made vague comments about not getting married in the future even though she's not opposed to being married.
>>285912146Asa is very handsome.
Jumpscare.
>>285912399Another option is that Asa is a child from a former relationship, most likely not.The way it's phrased might be just customary Japanese reporting (probably more male centered), or something to do with who's in the family registry or whatever.In English, it would read something like>Mr X passed away in a car accident along with Ms Y, his common law wife. Mr X's eldest daughter was not in the car.Asa not being mentioned as THEIR daughter or the couple's daughter is what struck me as odd. I'm not that profficient to know if it's just standard or something to do with Japanese law.
You choice?
>>285912545She's aware of herself and her limits. She's an intelligent adult that knows how to navigate the world with her socialization issues. But learning how to talk about them with Asa is doing a lot for her being able to express those limits to others that can't intuit them. Mutual growth. But I think for Makio her perception of her sister is too colored by the haze of youth. She can understand why Asa wouldn't understand her. But when it is her sister, she still has the view of a child not understanding why other people don't seem to get her issues. Minori isn't just a normal girl who doesn't intuitively get her sister's limitations, she's the enemy that hated Makio and was too focused on being like everyone else. The perception is too tied up in her childhood trauma to be objective. It is why Makio gets hurt so much when she see's Minori's kind side. Because it is a clash of fundamental realities.
>>285912626I don't really know shit about Japanese family stuff, but this might be a thing tied to the koseki (family register). If you get married in Japan, you need to adopt a common last name (which is almost always the man's last name) and you are entered into the same koseki. And if you have kids, those kids then go in the same koseki.Asa's parents have different last names, so they would have different family names. And since Asa's name is Takumi Asa, she would be in the father's koseki.
Cutest Makio so far!!

>>285912400Legendary cold read.
Amazing episode, i don't think I've ever seen intimacy depicted like that in anime.
Lewd.
>>285912904True. I'd drink cream if I could afford it.
>>285912968That's one of the reasons I got so into the manga. There is such a natural feeling to the character interactions.
I started reading the manga after the fourth episode and finished it yesterday. Had to take a break during the last chapter to wipe away my tears and blow my nose.
>>285912402Japs sure love this movie, i see it referenced all the time.

>>285911264I had to pause and lay down for 10 minutes after this scene before continuing the episode
>>285913493Yeah, she was way hornier in the manga compared to the anime. They made her cuter rather than openly begging for some dick in her mind.

Good episode but man it gave me some weird Gosling feels. How is it fair that Makio can be so much like me but she gets some perfect chad husbando at her beck and call just by virtue of being female? Where's my beautiful high-earning Staceywife who understands my autism, brings me food from time to time and also puts out? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
>>285914095It was cleared up this episode.
>>285914122piss on her

>>285914420I've never baked a cake.
>>285914435It's the easiest thing in the world, and that's bad because eating fresh cake is also the easiest thing in the world next to eating freshly baked bread.
Huh? Freedom of choice!?
>>285914492I feel like it's easier to not bake a cake than it is to bake a cake.

>>285913189>built in coffee-shop AU>>285914511>built-in emancipation fantasyWhat's it like to have a supportive (and handsome) role-model that encourages you to live for yourself? Interlinked.
>>285911264This is basically just the author laying out what happened between Minori and Makio. Minori lacked an adult to guide her in understanding a person with Makio's condition. All she could feel was incredulity towards Makio's limitations. Makio lacked the maturity and emotional intelligence to explain her issues to others. She could only internalize the persecution. Thus they lost the ability to communicate.

>>285914892God I wish that was me.
>>285914832>You had friends, right?
>>285914892Interlinked.
>>285914832I did know my classmates' names, yes.
>>285914795It is the most lesbian thing about Emiri so far.Forget that talk they had, just seeing Emiri visit a friend's house to sew was proof for Makio.
>>285914892Some might not appreciate just how sensual and good it feels to play with a woman's hair, especially when she likes it. My ex was addicted to it, and whenever we were chilling out on the couch or wherever I would pretty much run my hands through her hair like this.
Why is she wearing a noose?
>>285915047Almost 200 responses into the thread and we're finally asking the real questions.
>>285915047Because Makio is literally me.
>>285915047To remind me to do the same later today.
>>285915047She's a Klan member.
>>285915047>The term “marriage noose” is a metaphorical expression that refers to the binding commitment or obligation that one enters into when getting married. It is often used colloquially to describe marriage in a way that suggests restriction or lack of freedom, likening the marital bond to a noose that confines an individual.So subtle
Every episode that goes by I hate Asa more. She's the eternal normalfag, completely impervious to the world and anything done to her by sheer virtue of how much of a normalfag she is. Makio has to spend her entire life struggling to get to even this point, and its still a struggle, meanwhile you just know Asa is going to be fully healed and happily settled down within a year at most. She'll get the job she wants, be surrounded by all the friends she could ever need, with basically no effort. Because she just fundamentally is this normalfag creature.
>>285915149You only think you hate Asa because you really hate yourself.
>>285915047That's not a noose knot
>>285914614>"Kasamachi-kun, Do you even lift?" into "Holy fuck I want cock" into "Actually you're my type, I just never told you" into "I want that finger inside me" into schizo (internal) debate and self-remonstrance>finishing with a night walk and quiet intimacyEverything is fine, why do you ask?
>>285912038
>>285915047All I could think about was rotating it so she could slip her ponytail into the little loop and maybe starting a cool fashion trendI think I might be even more of a Space Cadet than her
The latter half was a bit too much woman for me. I couldn't relate to their relationship at all.
>>285913922>this entire episodeI need to go to Gensokyo real quick, be right back.
>cute girl is worrying she's gonna get marriedridiculous
this and seihantai airing on the same day is fucking killing me, its too much gosling in one day
How do you get out of this situation?
>>285913675Not LNs.>>285914256What's the difference? Watership Down, Anne Shirley, Alice in Wonderland, etc. are all targeted at a children and YA demographics and are considered classics.

>>285915244kek
>>285915440Throw them out.
>>285915440Feed them lots of cake.
>>285915448>Earthsea I can hope it's that.
Are you eating cake alone in your room on a sunday night anons?
HELL YEAH
>>285913984Because some (actually, a lot of) guys are hopeless romantics on an entirely different level than women. I think even in this thread judging by the Gosling reactions you can imagine a lot of guys who could get hung up on their cute, tomboy-ish author ex. She's also one of those rare actually schizoid/avoidant women, once you get close to someone like that you tend to not want to ever leave them (you wouldn't have gotten close to them in the first place if you didn't feel that strongly and had that much patience).
>>285915531No, but I did have ice cream while watching the episode.
>>285915531>tfw no carrot cake
>>285915562Kasamachi has some baggage of his own too. IDK if we'll see it in the anime.
>>285915149I think it is interesting this is schizo parent raising normie child. Usually the lit, films etc. that focus on this dynamic have an autistic child and a normie parent.
>>285913984Makio is a self-insert.
>>285915851I wish she would insert herself into me.
>>285915761For sure, another reason this show is a complete gem. It tackles things most shows wouldn't even begin to, every frame feels interesting and relevant.
Good episode. So glad Miyukichi the one who voiced Makio, did another fantastic voice acting job here.Also, I hope Makio and the chad end up together.

>>285916275I'm the one doing it anon.
>>285916161I lost contact with most of my friends when I had a couple of years of severe mental illness in my mid-20s. But over this past year even the remaining close friendships I had are dissolving and that feels really rough. I'm so conscious of being overinvested in them/that the contact means much more to me than it does to the other person. When I feel like that I just want to cut everybody off, like "living purely" entirely alone would be better and more noble than feeling this wretched.

>>285916161Literally me except I don't have a boytoy (female) and there are no impressionable children near me to have an impact on.At least I can roll on down to goonies to eat pizza and play mtg with the boys.
>>285916308>Makio needs to have a level of respectability to do her job as Asa's guardian. She actually doesn't, because the other option is for the kid to just be passed around between relatives until she comes of age. You can still say that Makio's decision was rash, but it at least comes from good intentions. Some might say that's not worth much, and while everyone is different, and every situation is different, coming from someone with parents who made a lot of mistakes and could be said not to have had the requisite level of respectability to raise a child, at this point I'm still thankful to them at least for their intentions. Love or something like it was behind their motivations, and I'm somehow glad I got to experience that instead of a possibly more competent but cold upbringing.
>>285916471They had to do it to him.
>>285912556Cute boy
>>285916507Of course the alternative is worse but that doesn't mean things are going to okay the way they are. If Asa's impression of Makio gets bad enough, she'll refuse to listen when Makio tries to guide her in the right direction and may hurt herself. The only way to prevent that is to come off as trustworthy beforehand.
>>285916507Teenagers need an authority figure adult they trust and respect for their knowledge.

>>285915405For real, though. Every of these Sundays makes me realize how I'll live my life alone and unloved, with a boring life on top.
>>285911264oh nyooo don't do that to our previous little makio (and catch me and the other autists in the crossfire) now i feel bad
>>285918900I'm glad that I'm like Makio and don't long for companionship.

>>285911708I never liked tea. I'd rather just have tap water.
>>285918866I wish more men looked like that.
>>285918912It also didn't really bother me for much of my adult life, but I think seeing shows like this inject the thought and desire into my brain somehow. Very peculiar.It may be better for me to stay blissfully ignorant about these parts of the human condition that will forever elude me.

>>285919075still don't get what that other post about the manga art being "clean" meant. if anything i'd say the anime looks cleaner with everything looking sanded down and smoothed out. they just look like completely different artstyles to me.

Spoil me mangafags, does Makio ever reconcile with her dead sister?
I know >malbut i did not expect this.
>>285919983Should be higher
>>285919742Very sheepish
>>285919955I can tell you without reading the manga that she will. Everything is pointing to it happening.
>>285919955she's dead tho
>>285919596Pretty sure she stopped at "This adult can support Asa and has a flat and is apparently single".
>>285919955>reconcileHard to reconcile with someone who is dead.

>>285920080Necromancy can solve many problems.
>>285919955Yeah, they hold a seance and her sister's spirit possesses Asa for a few moments
>>285919955Yes, they will have ghost sex in episode 9.

>>285920751Yes.

>>285920711She will come to terms with her parents' deaths knowing that they were witnesses and will ride eternal on the fury road.
I wonder if they'll open the next episode with the scene of Makio and Kasamachi talking in bed from chapter 30? You can definitely bring that forward if you want to compress.
>>285921148So they're back to fucking after the date chapter? Do they make Asa listen?

>>285921148My guess would've been Emiri watching Fried Green Tomatoes.
>>285921058Where'd you get this video of me?
>>285920777I meant posting
Is Fried Green Tomatoes some arthouse lesbian drama? That was my initial impression.
>>285920432anime fans who want to watch an anime written for adults
>>285915562>Because some (actually, a lot of) guys are hopeless romantics on an entirely different level than women
>>285921357Not art house. Lesbian in passing, but more Southern Gothic.
>>285919731persona, jojo mixed up the devil and hanged man arcana
>>285915562>She's also one of those rare actually schizoid/avoidant women, once you get close to someone like that you tend to not want to ever leave themI dunno, the only one I ever got involved with, I dropped because it clearly wasn't gonna work out since we both had too strong schizoid and avoidant tendencies.
>>285921473Evangelion was made to tell you people to stop running from each other and you learned nothing.
>>285921277At the video store.
>>285921517Maybe so. Evangelion also got an alternate ending where a nice woman with big beasts says that you smell nice.
>>285921357It's not arthouse. It was a fairly popular 90s film, number 2 at the box office. It's just old now.
>>285921517Evangelion made me buy buckets.
>>285919955You can't exactly "reconcile" with a dead person, that's the problem. No matter how much you think you have come to understand said person, you can never be sure since they're dead. But I assume the story will end with her coming to some understanding, perhaps hoping she would've talked with her sister when she was still alive.
I really prefer "young master" instead of "pampered" for the description of Kasamachi. I think it plays much better into the family stuff he talks about later. He was raised to be "proper". But maybe "pampered" is a better translation IDK. The answer as ever is just to learn Japanese.
I know most of you weebs cannot into literature without pictures in them, but there are so many novels, from Japan and elsewhere, with a similar atmosphere and dialogue I would recommend you to branch out from time to time and try reading literary fiction.
>>285921687I can into literature with just the scribbly things and no pretty drawings, so please do recommend away.
>>285921687I'll read books again once the Internet dies.
>>285921687I'm only watching this because I like the artstyle though.
>>285921473Same tendencies here and I suspect two people like this just have a very low chance of working out in any type of relationship. At least judging from my own history even just trying to make friends with people like myself. You just don't want to truly let people into your world pretty much no matter what, so ironically it works out easier with normal people since they just don't have any inner world. Assuming they like and "adopt" you as a friend/partner, and are somehow content mostly being kept at an arms length (basically like Kasamachi).
>>285921687Literature is most interesting when it's surreal or fantastical.Reading about people without something unreal about it is boring. This is better because I have pretty women to look at.
>>285921635Master and any term relating to slavery is no longer PC.Some time ago, "slaves" in technology (i.e., devices or something that is controlled by a "master") are no longer referred in that way, or why so many software companies will fire you if you name your branch "master" over "main", among other things.
>>285913073The part where Makio can't or won't say "I love you" because it doesn't adequately express the depth of her feelings is very touching.>>285919955>>285921615You probably don't want this spoiler, but I would genuinely say they don't reconcile. What happens is Makio connects on some level to her sister's love of Asa because she comes to love Asa, and through that she perhaps thinks that her sister at the time of death was different to the sister she hated. But she never really lets go of that hate.
>>285921806Holy shit dude, read your posts a couple times before posting.
>>285921806>why so many software companies will fire you if you name your branch "master" over "main"no, they will tell you "we don't use this terminology" and then you stop using it, because you are a dispassionate professional who complies with the standards
>>285921687I read actual books too anon. Part of the reason I like this so much is because it has a literary feeling.
>>285921806Well, "young master" is not really connected with slavery and master is still a semi-common term of address for boys here in yookay, but that might be it. It's just "pampered" kind of only conveys "spoilt" but you want to convey: yes a bit spoilt, but also with good manners, from a good family, successful, of good taste, raised with high expectations, etc.
>>285920432men with refined tastes(me)
>>285921517>eva had deep anti otaku messages you just missed themhow about forming your own opinions on things and not parroting redditors
Another great episode. When Makio said "my mind is constantly busy", it made me wonder if that's not the case for most people. I do get lost in thoughts all the time and sometimes have to block them out by listening to some podcast when they get too negative. Anyway, very solid show, every episode so far was at least very good. If this continues, it's gonna be not just AOTS but also very likely a strong AOTY contender.
>>285911264>>285911708Combined with the constant zoning out and mess, I'm thinking more ADHD than autist.
>>285922393I agree. But both can occur together.
>>285921361like guts?
>When Makio said "my mind is constantly busy", it made me wonder if that's not the case for most people.Its really not, but normalfags have made an entire industry and philosophy out of convincing you that all people are fundamentally the same, blank slates.
>>285922046Eva isn't antiotaku. But it is telling you to learn to close distance with others in spite of its difficulty. Especially others with communication diseases like yourself.
>>285922393>>285922420Why do you buy into these labels so much? They're made to sell you things and control you. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with Makio, or with any anon in this thread.
>>285921854>she never really lets go of that hateDamn, and here I thought the story would be about turbo autismo finally growing up.
>>285922668Makio doesn't have to be 'fixed' nor learn to change her emotions for the sake of others, alive or dead.
>>285922717Growing up would be the best for herself, not others.
>>285921635If they literally said "wakasama" or something like that, pampered is probably the closest you could get as a translator without just assuming your audience knows the archetype well. I can't think of a word in English that means "well mannered person who ticks all societal boxes."
>>285922878Posh
>>285922717Correct. It's not as though she's incapable of change. She changes in the ways that are right for her.
>>285922983That only covers the upper class parts and it comes with more of a condescending connotation rather than a naive or polite one.
>>285923037calling somebody pampered is 10x as negative as posh so that's a bit silly of a complaint. you could also use terms like "well-bred" or "gentleman" or say he's part of the gentry.
>>285921720Okay, here it is.I set myself a 20' time limit to pick up books. There's obviously never going to be a 1:1 equivalence, so consider it a random selection of mostly loner main characters, good dialogue, realism/naturalism and a somewhat similar tone.I read most of these more than 10 years ago, so I cannot guarantee shit.
>>285922878Yeah, it's tough. I think young master actually stands sufficiently as a term in English but that might just be because I'm from a society that still has a strong class system. The other thing I think you lose with "pampered" is conveying the slightly childish aspect of Makio's own preference. Liking that type of person is having one foot still in a storybook, which I think is very appropriate for her and her disaffection for many ordinary conventions.
>tfw no decades long on again/off again relationship with an autistic aritist type that you reconnect with after a big blow-out breakup and rekindle the sparks with, then get married and take care of her adopted daughterKasamachi-kun is giving Tani a run for biggest chad of the season.
>>285923072Gentleman would probably have worked.>>285923103Bro you're gonna have a death on your hands. You can't mainline these back-to-back.
>>285923158They're never getting married anon! It's so crazy people keep saying this.
Kino episodeBut I didn't realize this was yaoi
>>285923072It's supposed to be negative, posh just goes in the wrong direction.>"well-bred" or "gentleman"That works for the positive aspect but the clueless/spoiled associations with "wakasama" are missing.>>285923131>Liking that type of person is having one foot still in a storybook, which I think is very appropriate for her and her disaffection for many ordinary conventions.That's a good point actually, I hadn't realized at all.
>>285917251They've been living together for some time now. It's probably (definitely) not the first time makio has made a mess of their SHARED living space.
>>285923103I read 7 of these and none had a similar atmosphere or dialogues. Don't mean to say they were bad or that this show is unique, just that your picks don't correlate with your words.
>>285911708HhmmmmI'll have straight breast milkI meanBreast milkSorryUhh give me a glass of BREAST MILK
>>285923103You actually came through.I'm gonna give some of them a go when I can get around to it.
