So what era was this again? The Soviet Union's still a thing, cameras are still b&w...
>>290205153The description says.>1950sAfter the second world war.5 seconds on anidb.
Look at her lmaoShes so tiny hahaHow is she riding that thing?
>>290205201>60 to 70 years have passed>the entire cast is probably dead at this pointSounds like we won't get a modern era scene in the epilogue where a familiar-looking grandma takes the kids to the circus.
>>290205201>it's after ww2>time when americans were raping one women after anotherthis show is a psyop by americans trying to paint that era as something good.
>>290205153>>290205201No idea where anidb gets the 1950s figure from. In the last thread people pointed out several mid-1960s automobiles in the backgrounds. That seems more likely given international relations and the lack of any mention of the war.
>>290205615The official website says:>In the 1950s, https://aniplexusa.com/growupshow/ANN says:> In the late 1950s and early 1960s, https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=37027
>>290205615>>290205780We somehow don't see a direct mention of this in the show even though other materials are happy to tell. Wonder why.
>official website lists dub credits as if they were as important as the japanese VAsDisgusting.
>>290205977It's probably for deliberate artistic reasons. We know that the girls are probably war orphans, but the show chooses not to focus on that aspect.
What is Maria even? The deliberate choice of hiding her family name, is she a Sumeragi? Is she Mitchan's sister or even Aunt? Will we find some kind of answer by episode 10 (or 20 if this is two cour)?
>>290207077>Is she Mitchan's sister or even Aunt?Um, he's older than her, and maybe by quite a bit.
>>290207077She looks a lot like a Sumeragi and it would be petty of Nanami to try to put Himawari Circus out of business just because Ouka rejected her job offer.
>>290205153I used to have that kind of bike and ride it like that when I was small. How nostalgic.
>>290180229>>290180389>>290180423Why does the promotional material for this show say it's set in Showa 30 and the 1950s if it's not either?
>>290208087Maybe they meant the flashbacks to 10 years ago featureing lil' loli Mizuka and her dad being in the 50s.Better than the main run being in the 50s and somehow a Jap circus is touring the US is the 40s...
>>290208064If Mizuka can magically obtain a pile of apples, why are the girls stuck eating nothing but potatoes?
>>290209235the apples gotta come from somewhere.
>>290209235You do know she stole those apples?
>>290209721where did she hide them ?
>>290205489Japs tried to do it in China, got it on their land instead, whoopsie doodle
>>290210227Obviously in her butt.
>>290207494She's his imuoto
>>290210227Girl's secret (magic)
>>290205337>Sounds like we won't get a modern era scenethank you jesus
>>290207077You have no idea how much I wish this was a two cour but I sincerely doubt it is
Has anyone got a compilation of all the funny faces the girls made so far?
>>290210893Somebody did post it in the last thread (or the one before that) but I forgot to save it
>>290209721From the people who tried to kill an elephant for an insurance scam.
>zero fanservice of small girls>bigger girls get close up detailed crotch shots aplentyI hate modern anime industry and its modern sensibilities.
>>290205337I mean if they weren't going to do that skip ahead they why did they set it in this era? They might just skip ahead 30 years or something and show Mizuka as a ring master / troupe lead or something though, I'd be surprised if they didn't because that's kinda central to the story.
>>290211326mizuka has a good bit of desnudo...
>>290211388>MizukaShe's not small...
Yamada anal.
>>290209721Were little girls allowed to dress like this in 1950?
>>290205201>>290205615>>290205780The original wording is "Showa 30s" which means somewheres between 1955-1965 but they haven't thought too much about when exactly and you shouldn't either
>>290211803Who would stop them?
>>290205337They're japanese women, like half the cast could very much still be alive, but I hope they won't end this show with a flashforward epilogue. I always hate these things. Don't wanna see my cute girls all old and wrinkly.
>>290210788he's her imouto
>>290205208
>>290212562>they skip to present day>Maria is somehow alive and looks exactly the same
>>290213094I really do expect them to do this.
>>290209721Mizuka would never!
>>290205489It was though? Fucking educate yourself, you absolute retard. American rebuilding efforts in Japan were massive and institutional poverty was essentially eliminated. Got I hate ignorant anime retards with copypaste pol opinions.
>>290212907>honk her hornAre you implying she's hiding something more in her clown pants?
Realistically, what's Maria's bodycount?
>>290213884You wish
>>290205153What do you call this genre of cute girls being cute with a healthy dose of fanservice?
>>290213884Anon, when's the last time you watched an all ages anime with a canon futa character?
>>290213973Counting workplace accidents or just little girls she's worked to death?
>>290214043AOTS
>>290214043>>290214248Some other anime I would include in this genre off the top of my head would be:Ruri rocksBocchi the rockHarukana ReceiveLycoris Recoil In the Heart of Kunoichi TsubakiPrincess principle
>>290211335What the fuck are you on about?
>>290214434It's called CGDCT you fucking newfag
>>290214434Remove Bocchi, the anime got rid of the fanservice moments.
>>290214580Fair enough. I guess I'll consult the slop machine to help me find more similar anime.
>>29021422513 years ago.>all ages animeit's rated PG-13 tho, both are
If the clown lady says 'jump' you ask 'how high?'.
This arc with Mizuka actually loving the circus previously but pretending to hate it (rather than just her dad specifically) is so laughably shit, it took this show from an 7/10 to a 6/10. Now it's not only the animation weighing it down.
>>290214698I don't remember this having a futa.
>>290215491why is she ashamed of her name
>>290215624Is she actually Russian or did she just have russiaboo parents that called her that, the "Yamada" stands out on the screencap there because the whole rest of her name sounds russian and is wrote in kana not kanji thenthere's just the "yamada" dumped at the end in Kanji.Kinda like an american calling their offspring Miyazaki Akemi Smith.
>>290215619>Her body changes along with her personality during midnight (implied), which is why she acts always differently.Pink haired girl was an implied temporary futa.It's the best I can come up with.
>>290215491Yamada
>>290215899Isn't she hafu?
>>290215619I haven't watched this show but the memo on the right says she mentioned growing a penis in episode 10. Not implied, literally said ochinchin on screen.
>>290214698I've thought about watching it ever since it aired but sounds like I don't have to.
>>290215899most probably a half
