This week, we meet Hyakka, and begin to learn more about what happened to Mao nine hundred years ago.
They fucked up Hyakka's little ayakashi-attracting charm. It has 'fire' written on it's head, but in the manga, the head was also separated from the body (because he was gathering flaming heads).
>>288283129finally
>gets invited to her house>she takes him to her room>he gets to sniff itSHIRAHA WON!
>MC height checks HyakkaFEMALE WRITER.
Oh... Well, it was nice meeting you, Hyakka
is there a difference between the amzn subs and the bili ones
Someone got jealous and insecure.
>>288283459>MC height checks Hyakkagif/webm doko!! :-)
>MC grabs and lifts Otoya
>>288283683It's important to keep your Otoya away from heat sources
>>288283644
>>288283575anyone?
>>288283772I know the video quality is night and day.
>>288283811I wish toonshub would upload the amazon release already
>>288283129Whoo! Finally.
>>288283885Worse jobber than Ryoga kek.
I wish I could smell Nanoka's room.
>>288283909Hy-ACK-a
One of the most important characters in the series (and Sana is also there)
>>288283911Poor guy
>>288283937that's mao
>>288283937She looks like a rejected Inuyasha character.
>>288283937Hmm that cat...
>>288284032nyesss...
>>288284051It's probably nothing
>>288284106nyooo...
>>288283575The actual subtitles are exactly the same as far as I can tellDSNP has improved formatting and some fixes and changes, but for the most part they're also based on the same script
>>288284186>The actual subtitles are exactly the same as far as I can tellthanks
Is there any release that keeps honorifics? I'm so tired of this normalfag shit.
>>288284232no, anon-chama
>>288283590love this face
>>288283911>invites him to her room>keeps her socks onOh come on! If you're going to keep taking advantage of him, at least go barefoot and give the poor guy a treat.
>>288284240This was unthinkable 15 years ago. Even 10 years ago. We're living in the worst timeline.
No nipple, unsurprisingly (manga version for reference)
>>288284232I think Kurai has honorifics, but they're only up to episode 3
>>288284232>>288284350And they also apparently aren't doing any more... So no, no there aren't
>>288284392the fansubbing scene is dead huh
>>288283683>>288283713carry time!this will happen again :-)
>>288283974The Master's face looked pretty nice, but they really messed up with the ayakashi swarm
>>288284683Much better in the manga.
please don't whitewash Kamon he didn't have that sad expression in the manga
>>288284951I mean, he looked kind of sad, keeping in mind that most of the characters in the manga have trouble expressing any emotion more intense than mild concern
They gave Nanoka a bunch of funny faces when she was dodging the flaming heads
>>288285566And yet, no Rumic Sign...
>>288283713Otoya was cute today as well!
I don't watch a lot of modern anime so I was happy to hear Hiro Shimono again, not what I was expecting Hyakka to sound like but I have no complains after this episode. Also Sana is here.
Is this show kino
>>288285797Did you like Inuyasha?
>>288285068he looks sad, those are sad eyes, those are sad words
>>288285124>>288285599no sign here either
Amazon subs aren't out yet?
>>288283129Inuyasha sequel looking nice
>>288286316I think we already established there are no differences between subs
>>288286339We established the opposite. Didn't you see the episode 1 thread?
>>288286325Thankfully they used different characters! Can you imagine if they did something retarded like making a sequel about a bunch of uninteresting kids nobody likes or something?
>>288286379The amazon subs are identical to the bili subs, you can download both versions, extract the subtitles and compare them yourself. The DSNP subtitles are the ones that have differences from those.
>>288286774what differences?
>>288283839>smug>>288285124but not as smug as this cat>picrel
>>288283441>>288283911He will never, ever score. He's just her lore infodump slave before she leaves for the past again for varying lengths of time.
>>288283441I feel so sorry for that man...
Next episode: frog posting>>288284683It just looks like a censored version to me. Maybe it will show more in the BD.
>>288284296Fucking homosexual modern anime industry!
>>288286803On the formatting side, DSNP uses a different default font, utilize italics for internal monologue and such, tend to break up longer lines into several lines, use more punctuation, and so on. For the actual text, they correct some of the more noticeable translation and grammar errors and use slightly different names for some things (e.g. Byoki vs. Byouki). I expect there will be a good number of differences in their translations for this week's big historical infodump scene. I think they're mostly following Viz's translation conventions from the manga. They're still very clearly working from the same base translation, though.
>>288287473Nanoka will return and marry him!
>>288287560It's not like there was even anything to censor, though (unless the sludge in >>288284704 is meant to be blood or something). They might have been going for some kind of stylized look like the flashback in the spider episode, but the end result just looks weird with Hyakka completely dark and the monsters way too bright in comparison.
>>288287780Maybe they thought it was too spooky for TV?
Every episode since the keystone one has been better and better imo glad things are moving along now
>>288288259Last one bombed in the ratings.
>>288289202I mean, it prob should've given how very little happened in it.
>>288286803>>288287642The DSNP translation also takes more liberties
>>288289202"The ratings" like you're referring to the singular comprehensive official rating. I know you're talking about niconico ratings which don't matter at all. Not even a little bit. The only thing that can actually be referred to as "the ratings" is TV ratings.
>>288283285Bastards. Can't trust anyone. Also, no rape-murder victim nipple. Sorry, horndogs.
>>288287664>red string of fate goes to firenah
Finally, more characters to work with. I hope lady who may/may not be a demon is okay.
>>288286325you foolit's a sequel *and* a prequel
>>288283498n- nyo...
>>288283937What a cutie.
>>288284200Was this the nipple in the manga?
>>288293715in the manga they showed my nipple instead
>>288284704>>288284683Yeah, they never can do these kinds of pages justice.
>>288293774Ah, that makes sense. >>288289202I really hope no one dropped this anime after last week.
>>288289202"bombed" is an overexaggeration, but it did have a dip>picrel
>>288284200Why is Rumiko always so mean to women?
Why is Nanoka always showing her panties to everyone?
>>288294846Over 7 is good, that anon is just a newfag retard
how was the car animation brosi haven't gotten a chance to properly watch the ep
>>288295893It's alright I guess. We don't really see much but at least it's not your generic CGI car.
>>288289945skills
>>288294947I don't know the reason for xis misogyny
>>288294947I'd say Mao has uncommonly large amounts of suffering for both sexes
>>288295893>>288296009It def was CGI in the first shot, but it was far away and dark and it lasted for mere seconds.
>>288295124>Over 7 is good>is in the bottom half of the tableUh huh.
>>288298668It's "in the bottom" because there are so many 8s, retardo. It does not operate as a Top 10, anything above 7 is a perfectly normal score.
>>288299681>what is average scoreI bet you were happy getting an 8 at school when the rest of the class was getting a 10, because 8 is a good number lol.
>>288285819Did anyone
>>288283129Cool episode
It's been 2 weeks without Nanoka's feet...
Also, I finally heard the whole ED>starts off slow>picks up pace for the whole duration>not sure if I like the slow part or the fast one
>>288298037hmm not sure if heian era mao would've been jacked...
>>288289169it's as though a river runs through the middle
>>288283590I like to think he was just taken by surprise by Nanoka's autism
>>288308260>Were you two going out?!he wishes and it would've been against the bro code
>>288305307he's just excited to be here
>>288308260The abuse of questionable digital screentones and the fact that most backgrounds are just empty are the only downsides of this otherwise nice manga
Don't die yet I haven't watched the episode yet
>>288311429Hurry up then
This cat seems familiar somehow
>>288313843i'm sure it's nothing
>>288305307Poor guy
>>288284446oh no...>>288284356oh no oh no oh no!!
>>288315149Trust the plan.
webm/gif anons where are youthere were some cool scenes this ep
>you will be my husband>I will obey my father's wishesliar
>>288301095yes
Weird I never heard about this manga or anime wise
>>288316421There seems to be something that you don't understand which is that you're not just the only one who believes Shiraha is going to win Nanoka. You're also the only one who wants him to.
>>288317832Well, RIN-NE was good but it wasn't a major hit because it was a return to episodic comedy after doing Inuyasha for so long. And it wasn't as zany as Ranma 1/2 and UY. So, MAO didn't really blow up either.
>>288317832It's not a WSJ shonenslop, of course you haven't hear of it you stupid zoomoid
>>288283771Calm down girlie. He's still taller than you.
>>288318372>taller than you.that's only because of his boots
>>288283909But not as much of a jobber as Koga
>>288284356>>288284446Rape
>>288283498Haha no way they're killing off Hyakka in the first few minutes of the episode named after him.
>>288283974Rumiko still doing her classic body horror
>>288318136>RIN-NE was goodIt was probably the worst manga among her major works
>>288284683maybe the ayakashi will be animated in the bluray
>>288284276It didn't even occur to Nanoka to take her socks off because she's never thought of him like that. She would go barefoot for Mao though.
Would have been really funny if Hyakka fell flat on his face after jumping down like thatThe little fire jet landing was neat too, though
Nanoka yelling "MURI MURI MURIIIII" in the preview was so cute. Now I'm already looking forward to next week.
>>288318065Of course the fangirls watching this are hoping their self-insert will end up with the melancholic, dependable, handsome dude that seems disinterested in her. But you'll all get blackpilled.
>>288319129You haven't read One Pound Gospel.
>>288322097True, but I'm not really sure if I'd really consider that a major work
>>288321985Maybe some of us ship Nanoka with Hyakka, ever think about that?
>>288322244>girl dating someone shorter than herHe has less of a chance than even Shiraha.
>>288321208>Nanoka [...] was so cuteTrue
>>288319185>She would go barefoot for Mao thoughShe literally did. She wore a kimono but no socks and went to see Mao barefoot, and was even waiting for his compliments.
>>288318136>it was a return to episodic comedyHuh. I always thought it was budget Inuyasha like Mao.
>>288325566It was budget Ranma
>>288325769I'd say it was budget UY, what with the focus on weird gadgets and interactions with a non-human society (aliens in UY, shikigami in Rinne).
>>288322316Proof that he's shorter than her?
>>288325939>>288283771
>>288326231He looks taller than her there
is there any comedy in this? I like Rumiko's stuff mostly for her comedy. But from what I've seen in random pages over the months, it's completely serious from what I gather? (kinda like her mermaid saga?)
>>288326439>like her mermaid sagayeah it's like that
>>288326721I see, that's a shame, not for me then. enjoy yourselves anons
>>288326288that's because of his boots
>>288326765How much lift does Hyakka's boots have compared to Nanoka's shoes? It looks like he has a good few inches on her.
>>288326288>>288318382>>288326765
>>288326939>>288326845
>>288326845inches? plural?! anon...
>>288327247>no heel
>>288327247Those pants hide his stilts.
What does Nanoka's room smell like?
>>288327247That's not much. It's not like those are high heels.
>>288283911why does she keep leading him on...
>>288328200To have a backup plan. Classic woman strategy.
>>288328200She's just not an intellectual powerhouse, okay? She needs someone to help her with google searches and wikipedia.
>>288283911>sitting right next to a girl's bed where she sleeps nakedsuch things never happen in real life
>>288287626We don't even get male nipple though.
>>288327275>>288327247They're about the same height. Nanoka prob wouldn't even notice if Hyakka wasn't acting like he was Mao's commanding officer.
>>288328229>backup planshe can barely make a first plan anon, she is not thinking that far ahead
>>288328464The things Nanoka is looking for are probably too specific to find with a simple google search and wikipedia. Shiraha probably had to look through local newspapers and browse the library for ancient writings.
>>288330531>Shiraha probably had to look through local newspapers he already did that to find info on that specific shopping street areathat's how nanoka was able to read about the personal accounts of that earthquake survivor who saw the byoki's head
>>288319776they let him look cool before killing him :-)
>>288283441>>288287512RUMIKO!!
>>288311429did you ever watch it anon?
>>288334018Yes, you have my permission to die now
>>288334043I'll die on my own time
>>288321985I just hope that Honoka and Mao don't end up together.
>>288286485>a bunch of uninteresting kids nobody likesMoroha is the only one people like
>>288334104dyslexia-kun...
>>288283441Poor guy. Another man will get to fuck the girl he loves while he's satisfied with sniffing her room.
>>288334330mao was in his place once
>>288334330Sounds like a good deal.
>>288322244this looks like it was made by an early middle school weeb, i'm impressed you even found itsovful btw
maobros, now that we're this far along, what's your destination on where this season will end?remember it's going to be 26 episodes
>>288336374what's your *estimation
>>288283129Looks like a fusion of Towa and Moroha. kek
>>288319185>It didn't even occur to Nanoka to take her socks off because she's never thought of him like thatPoor Shiraha can't even catch a glimpse of Nanoka's feet.
>>288335672I've seen a surprising amount of people with Chinese text on their twitter profiles who seem to like Mao (well, a couple, but that's more than I was expecting to see)https://nitter.net/TvT0216
>>288338497seems they retweet from the other dozen chinese maobros>well, a couple, but that's more than I was expecting to seetaiwan has like a dozen services to watch mao on>https://v-storage.jp/anime-mao-global/and then there's hong kong, singapore, etc
Livr
>>288328498Girls sleep naked?
>>288328498>>288342261Nanoka wears PJs. That's like being naked, but with light clothes on top. >>288339613>>288338497I wish I had an easier time finding art for this series, but the name is so generic and people aren't going to tag things consistently. Like, MAO (rumiko takahashi) is common enough, but there's also MAO (manga) or MAO (anime) and that's not even getting into Japanese tags.
>>288336374Hm.. my memory for early stuff is not good. I'd have to check the volumes. Based on numbers alone, it would be Volume 9. But that seems nutty. Thinking about how the opening is structured, I assume we'll get to Hakubi's introduction in Volume 6.
>>288342261Nanoka is naked under her pajamas.
>>288338497I want to see this animated.
>>288334224Daughter of fomer protagonists' privilege
>>288338497I wouldn't be surprised. The magic used is similar to Chinese culture.
>>288347247>similarit's literally based on their shit, even the byoki
>>288342295....I don't use parenthesis in tags some sites treat special characters strangely, though I'm not sure how twitter treats parenthesis
>>288342825not sure if I believe you...
I think the master going shh at hyakka might be a useful gif
>>288285566She's doing what Otoya does
>>288283683Now when will Mao grab and lift Nanoka?
>>288352546eventually, at least i'm pretty sure he does
>>288352546Princess carry?
