Just marathoned the first two episodes of this show. It was KINO, especially the first episode. Anons weren't lying. Thank you for the recommendation.Now, I have a question with regards to the second episode:>Why did Aoteru declare he wouldn't give in to peer pressure even if it killed him? Wouldn't that be detrimental to his goals? He literally said in the previous sentence he'd suck up all day long if necessary. Isn't he contradicting himself? I hope Yoshitsune brings this up in the future.Also,Spoilers for the first episode Saki wasn't quartered by horses for two reasons:>There was a single streak of blood from the site of her execution to her grave, implying she was beheaded.>She had a serene expression and her spine wasn't protruding from her neck. She would've had a grotesque expression with her spine protruding from her neck if her head had been violently ripped from her body.The Tax Collector did phrase it as "she lost her hands, feet, and torso," implying she might've been quartered, but it could just as well mean she lost the rest of her body, which lines up with the rest of the evidence.She had a peaceful, quick death. This was the best death Aoteru or Saki could've asked for, outside of old age.
>>287504394>Just marathoned the first two episodesThat's not a marathon
>>287504394>Just marathoned the first two episodesfuture generations are gonna treat watching 10 minute videos in one sitting without distractions as a great feat
sex with my wife misumi
>>287505025Why is young men rising fascist? Didn't young men rise up to have communist revolutions too? Or was this just old women
>>287505056decapitated head fellatio
>>287505077what
>>287505116only watched the first episode and forgot anyone's names but if he remarries then he's a loser

first episode dead wife is such a hack way to start a story, like if the real story starts next episode then what was the point in me tuning in today?
>>287505189marathoning 2 episodes is difficult in 2026 for low attention spams give some grace>>287505222not really, it's an interesting opening hook
>>287505237better opening hook is if he killed the evil fat guy and went on the run rather than groveling to him to get rid of some punk with no real power
>>287505077Didn't know Kemper had internet access.
>>287504394How did kung fu wife lose? She knew kung fu!
>>287505025>Projecting your own garbage interpretations onto the authorFuck off. Aoteru is literally trying to take down a fascist government.
>>287504394>amazing first episode>suddenly chunin exam
>>287504394Is there any fanservice in the manga? Especially for this busty old lady.
>>287505068Communist narratives generally aren't about great individuals rising, but about the people rising collectively. The cult of personality around Stalin, Mao and other actual communist leaders has somewhat occluded that basic difference, but within western leftist aesthetics it has remained mostly stable.There's certainly also a tendency to view any depiction of militant struggle, heroism or triumph as essentially proto-fascist. You can certainly find people who will call the Battle of Algiers covertly right-wing.
>>287505683It's only going to last for one quarter of an episode longer at the very most. Then we're on to bigger and better things. So much death. You'll love it!
>>287505025>his dead wife in the first episode says she hates people who discriminate on the basis of skin colorYep, totally a fascist story right there.
>>287505915>dead wifeanon...
>>287505941it's not like she died because she was wrong
>>287505915>wife says that shit >ends up dyingwow can't believe I focused on the whole " too many refugees " part of why Japan turned it into failed state and didn't realize this obvious subtext
>>287505963sure anon...
>>287505915She also got overconfident with her self-defense skills she learned at zoomba class lmao. Didn't help against the chad soldiers.
this is trying way too hard
Is this BL?
>>287506065The criticism of the show so far is really bad, calling it gay was funnier at least
>>287506102I'm not saying it's not gay, but there have been an awful lot of this kind of anime recently, far more interested in itself than I am in it
>>287506093it is now
>>287506135then drop it OP. no one is holding a gun to your forehead telling you watch this show, especially not when you make repetitive threads without having even finished/watched TWO whole episodes
>>287506093No but I read some of the manga a while ago and don't remember much, there are other source readers and I feel like they would have said something. I sort of like this kind of slight fujobaiting desu>>287506188Calm down anon, he didn't make this thread and that wasn't even a particularly annoying or repetitive post
>>287506188so is there just one schizo who championed this series when it was a manga, coping with how people are just not feeling it for the anime by pretending they're all one person?
>>287506242Now this is definitely annoying and reverse coping. This is probably be the most positive I've seen /a/ towards a non-sequel show this season outside of Ponkotsu. It's good
>>287506283this season is weird, nothing is really standing out, just an entire sea of "you don't really HAVE to watch this"also no way this is better than Akane-banashi
>>287506345This season does suck ass but IMO it's why this show is better in comparison
>>287506345Totally disagree, think it's one of the better seasons
just look at this bloody faggot
>>287506377>3x3>two that will be dropped>two that are trash only valuable for shitpostingyou must not watch much anime in any given season if this is strong for you
>>287505915It's been better than other recent spring seasons and in general tho. Lots of variety
>"That's a cute hime cut girl in the OP">it's a guyFuck itAt this point, I'll take fujo shit over girlboss shit
>>287506435I'm only going to be putting the Arakawa show on hold since it seems that isn't really a show that is best enjoyed weekly. And a big part of the appeal of /a/ is discussing anime with /a/nons lol, neither show are exactly trash either but have been fun to watch along with. I didn't even mention Botan Kamiina as another great show. That's a lot of anime in a given season
>>287505752>ignore the fact that IRL it was always about charismatic leaders and focus on made up narrativeswhy would I do that
>>287506345This season has been the epitome of "Hmm, alright, this thread looks alright, let's see what this is all about. Damn that was great, guess I'm watching this!"I've already had that experience with 3 shows so far.It is pretty odd for me, but I'll take planning to only watch a few shows but then picking up random shows that I wasn't expecting to be good over dropping shows I was anticipated for that ended up being disappointing or uninteresting or utterly lacking in direction in the first 3 episodes.
>>287506377Kanan is barely even ecchi
>>287506654You'll think again after some of the next couple of episodes
>>287506552I was watching more than that late last season at the stage when I got fed up with the entire season sucking so hard and dropped everything, and that was after the normal seasonal process of three-episode rule failures and dropping boring things halfway. This season everything is on three-episode probation but I'm watching more than that. And that's to say nothing of last year where I didn't once suffer a cascade of disappointment and finished double your list each time. I get some nu-/a/nons don't actually like watching anime rather than shitposting in general threads, but they ought to just do that instead of pretending. They talk about discernment, but you literally just posted your list and I can see it
>>287506600which shows?
>>287504394this seaon's self consciously artistic mid anime that everyone has to tediously pretend is good foreversee also ping-pong, tatami galaxy and count of monte crisco
>>287506924>Nippon SangokuGreat direction, interesting setting, and the interesting kind of political autism mixed with a very odd tone.>Megami Isekai Tensei Nani ni Naritai Desu ka Ore Yuusha no Rokkotsu dePop Team Epic if it was isekai, looks to be going for a unique artstyle every episode, very fucking stupid but still enjoyable and also carried by pretty good direction.>Kuroneko to Majo no KyoushitsuClassic fun lighthearted ecchi adventure comedy, complete with constant pantyshots and a borderline-retarded FeMC.
>>287506699I doubt it will come close to yowayowa sensei.
>>287505915Not to mention Black people are the good guys.
>>287504394>50 replies>Not a single anon answering my question
>>287507326wait for the season to be over, also you don't know how to format a post
>>287505915>All those seething replieskek. You really struck a nerve with the poltimmies, lmao.
Shouldn't have made him straight
>>287507374do we have proof that Saki did not have a penis?
>>287507353...where's the seething? anons just made a funny comment about how the wife just ended up dying lol
>>287507394Yeah my headcanon
>>287505520She was a kung fool
>>287507349What's the correct format?
>>287507139>interesting settingDoes the setting of this show ever start making sense? Why is everyone larping as 16th century Japan beside the old general and his revolver-fu? Why does nobody else have guns when even modern crazies in Japan can build them, let alone the guns the cops and JSDF own? Why are there so many horses when you'd think they could make shitty cars running on biodiesel or ethanol? This kind of feels like the writer wanted to have the Fist of the North Star setting meets Romance of the Three Kingdoms but set in Japan.
>>287505189I'll take those memes over the stagnation here anyday
>>287510013>Why is everyone larping as 16th century JapanWho wouldn't? It's that era everyone knows and likes from Rance in Sengoku Rance. Japan collapsed or some shit and they all collectively decided it's time to erp. >Why does nobody else have guns Folded katana is better than guns.>Why are there so many horses when you'd think they could make shitty cars Good point. I don't know if Rance had cars.>This kind of feels like the writer wanted to have the Fist of the North Star setting meets Romance of the Three Kingdoms but set in Japan.True.I hope this answers your questions.
