It's been two weeks, but I hope you haven't forgotten about Kaikigumi. Final episode in two hours.

Oh boy, here it goes!
FUCK
>>291247321They have soul.
Mixed feelings, but I think I really liked it.
behold, the pinnacle of fear!
Wish it was longer but quite a decent way to wrap it up. I do wonder who is the other mechako lookalike with the white haired guy with the pipe though.
This was really good and actually inspired me to sign up for a japanese class after I realized a lot of the jokes only work in japanese. It made me want to learn the language.
THIS AIN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM
Wait, so Mechako was a ghost from the start?
>>291247851I guess we'll find out if we get a second season.
>>291248081well it was an organization of ghosts
Uh, I guess they might need a new narrator.
It's not coming back, is it
>>291248419What's its ratings this week?
This is my kinda ghost story
>>291247321Link it. Or at least post a few screenshotted posts with translations, if possible.

I didn't know what to expect, but it was really good. Top 2 this season for me.
I need scissors! 61!

How about sex?
>>291248622lewd!
Very cute ending. Can ghosts become pregnant?
So the manga ends with an "Adolescent Arc END". Any news about the supposed sequel?
>>291247321If anything this board has a fucking shit taste, also dying website etc etc..
>>291248726Oh the anime ended the same way.
Good show. Looking forward to the second season (it's definitely coming, the narrator said so).
>>291248696Pregnancy is pretty scary when you think about it...
>>291248696Presumably, yes, as Mechako is the daughter of the smiling woman.
>>291248726There's a continuation manga which is currently running.
>>291248984>smiling woman?
>>291248992Link?
>>291249070Literally explained in episode 2.

Shurako butt crack. Well, Doppel butt crack, so 50% gay.
>>291249320Glad she made it, she's very fun, though one wonders how they will cope together. Actually rather ironic situation to be in for those two.
Author vaguely airing their grievances about their editor.
>>291248992I think Okawari is more like bonus chapters for the Youth Arc rather than a true sequel, since the main character is still a student.>>291249072https://omocoro.jp/tag/%e6%80%aa%e5%a5%87%e7%b5%84
>>291248597This episode was cinema of the absolute highest order, I did not expect such an amazing finale.10/10 ending Mechako a cute
>>291249201>>291249225Ah, I've completely forgotten about it, thanks.
>>291249665Yeah definitely not a sequel. Wonder if one is planned.

Wasn't expecting them to go the romcom route but I cant' say I hate it either. It was fun, a love letter to the good old days.Pretty solid season overall, except for figthing game yuribait
Protag, after all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUgsmsvSYow
thank god the ending didnt suck
>>291248726Adult arc will be protag and mechako being married and their kids will catch random ghosts and bring them into the house like flu
>>291247321You need to know context and language to fully get the jokes.For us it's just funny face screaming.
>>291248597Tfw no closet ghost gf.
>>291251565>mechako marries mc>still won't tell you his name
Didn't expect Gaogaigar reference but then again Nobuyuki Hiyama in the first ep
>>291251633Áren´t her "underlings" (shurako, doppleanger etc...) calling her Mechako also?
She's kind of making me think of Alucard in the old Gonzo Hellsing anime, just a bit.
Mechako's collarbones were sexy.
>>291253411Collarbones are alluring in general. Like just catching a glimpse of them on a pretty girl through her shirt collar.They're just slightly erotic.
>>291251733>Bro is built out of 90 degree angles and pure muscleIs it achievable natty ?
I've been enjoying the supernatural kick they've been on lately, like Kaya-chan Isn't Scary.
>>291251733He's been training for this day.
>>291248425it doesn't matter, there's no where near enough material for a second season
>>291255784Don't fucking care.
>>291255855stop lying, you only asked because you think that it has an influence on it getting a second season when it doesn't
>>291256014I don't think it's relevant enough. It may not be next year, or the year after that, but it still has potential for a sequel.
SEXI liked the ending, good ending.SEX
Good show and apparently made some people here seethe. Huh.
they kissed, that means all the hentai is canon now.
>>291248622They knew what they were doing...
>>291247321This anime is extremely Japanese, so it's no surprise that it's super popular on 2chan and almost entirely ignored in the west.
>>291257159
>>291257992Their kids will be the scariest ghosts ever that are also very scared of each other and themselves.
>>291257828I like how Japanese it is.

>>291258207>>291248707
kaiki bros...we ate good.
This was a great show, one of those instances where 12 episodes doesn't feel like we're getting half a show, I hope we can one day see the sequel translated and animated.
>>291248597I can't believe she actually went for it, based as fuck
pale ghost gf...
I appreciated the opening announcer gimmick having different lines every episode.
>>291248597This scene hit me hard. The surprise made me inhale, and I held my breath for the entire scene with a stupid smile on my face.
>>291248597this is definitely drawn and written by a GIRLface reveal when
I would definitely kiss Mechako.
>pipe guy shows up briefly in one episode>then never again>he's shown off in the intro>among all the stuff cut for time, they still included him and drew attention to him>even if his inclusion has virtually zero payoffThey definitely have at least some intents on adapting more of the series, because he's clearly included as a future setup.
>>291249702what a manly ending>>291248707>>291258207kek
>>291260039which one was "pipe guy"?
>>291251572I feel like I still get a lot as a dekinai.>>291260065See? That's how little he's mattered in this adaption, yet he's there and he's highlighted by the intro and the merch.
Honestly, I don't think it needed the "epic story line", the show was at its best when it was just episodic with some sovlful moments. The ending was nice though, I wasn't expecting a romance end.It says end of the youth arc, so does it continue with them as adults? Did Shujinko marry Shurako?
>>291248622I love that his impulse on Wrong Mechako is to try to shove her back into the closet again.
>>291247844Utterly adorable.
>>291247844They never explained her pet lizard
>yukinko immediately started hitting on mc-kunSLUT
>>291260614She was immediately sucking up to someone with power, as always
I haven't laughed this hard since Gintama, it takes talent to have an screaming MC and not make him annoying.
Great series. Cute Heroine, fun artstyle. 10/10

>>291260614Always has been.
>>291261311I mean why keep it as a pet instead of absorbing it like the rest of the ghosts
>>291248597Didn't you fuckers say this garbage didn't have any romance or at least no significant progression during all its run? I've been avoiding it like the page because of that.
>>291261630STFU retad.
>>291261630It builds subtly towards it and is kind of ambiguous, until it starts ramping up towards the last few episodes. You faggot.
>>291261685asslaped letad. >>291261712Such a shame, perhaps one day I'll give it a try.
This show was pretty solid. Cute ending. I'm gonna miss it.
>>291261630We lied to you because romance fags are insufferable

>>291251733I think I see now why japs like it so much, it really is a throwback to a better era
>>291247321its anime of the year >>291248696you can tell a women wrote this shit lol the ghost above is like a sperm this manga/anime has a lot of little detail people didnt notice
Probably the only show I watched this season that a good ending.9/10
>>291247321How did it compare to Yani Neko over there?
So is there an actual sequel? She wasn't actually human then?
>1 episode of Liar Game tomorrow left of the summer season now
>>291262237Otome kaijuu and Hanaori-san also had great endings.
The biggest plot twist was that the narrator was a ghost as well
I dropped this show on episode 7 but I guess I'll watch this episode.I honestly don't know what you guys see in this anime, it kinda sucks.
>>291262748retard
>>291262412She's half monster.>>291249225
>>291262748>I honestly don't know what you guys see in this animeIt's really not hard to understand.
>>291262904Shes mildly upon mildly cute.It's not enough to keep me coming back.
>>291262983She is cute in a very particular, unusual way. Not very many girls have this aesthetic.
>>291263007>>291262904For me it's her deadpan voice.
>>291263007Yes. Gloomy moe. Spooky moe. Subdued in personality for the most part yet not a kuudere.
>>291263007I'll grant you it's rare, but I'm only marginally impressed.
>>291263037I like that she's not emotive but very clearly has emotions. It's a difficult thing to balance.
>>291263052You clearly just don't appreciate the aesthetic. For me it's like crack.
>>291262748This show is for the actual weebs and japs only. Reddit election tourists need to go back. Your type would say Lain sucks as well.
>>291262421The last show for me will be next Friday when the last episode of TES S2 airs.What a great season this has been.
>>291245284I forgot about it when I dropped it after watching the first episode.
>>291262748>>291263052Are you 6 years old? Are you really just finding out today that some people do in fact have tastes that differ to your own? I'm sorry to have to break it to you anon, but there are in fact opinions other than your own.
>>291263378And those opinions are wrong.
>>291262425I liked Kuroe's show, too bad the manga will never be completed since the author has cancer
>>291263431Wait wtf
>I am aware of the show's appeal but unable to understand that the appeal works more for other people than it does for me
>>291248597DOPPEL IN SHAMBLES
>>291263378>Are you really just finding out today that some people do in fact have tastes that differ to your own?I'm pretty sure I didn't imply as such. Me expressing a strong opinion does not necesarily mean that I am not cognizant of other opinions.You're doing this common counter-critique fallacy where you accuse the other of somehow being stupid enough to not understand the nature of subjectivity.Few are that stupid bud. It's kind of insufferable every time I see this 'technique' if a technique it can be called.
This guy >>291263427 is not me >>291262748 just fyi
>>291260509It seems like its implied that its just another ghost that she ate since it broke away when all the other ones did
>>291251572as a kid I was pretty sheltered so I didnt get a lot of references or jokes that my classmates would make so I learned to find things funny even if I dont get it
>>291251572That's the case with a lot of Japanese humor. My enjoyment of comedy anime went way up as I learned even a modicum of the language. Just being able to appreciate the line reads improves enjoyment of stuff like manzai.
I can't believe how much I enjoyed this show.There is an "adult" arc on the manga and a chance of getting more?
>>291261394portable onaholevery convenient
I watched it and I enjoyed it.
>>291248597Alright, show, well fucking played. I didn't expect this goofy comedy of all things to deliver the most satisfying ending out of all the shows this season. Our guy here persevered against all odds and got the girl at the end. How delightfully unsubversive and rewarding.
>>291261335But no kaaaaiiiiikiiIIIIIIIiiiii
>>291262421Still another episode of seihantai so the season won't end until next week
>>291265922shurako is so fucking cool
>>291245284What was the deal with the white-haired guy with the iron pipe, anyway? The anime didn't adapt his other chapter.
>>291265922>How delightfully unsubversive and rewarding.Yep. When everyone wants to be subversive, they all stop being subversive and are instead (most often) just mundane, predictable, and unsatisfying.Not every ending can be happy, but every ending being a downer is just completely thoughtless contrarianism, and cynicism for cynicism's sake, which is very gay and retarded.Spiritually, it's like doing the incest romance but then at the last minute going SIKE, NON-BLOOD RELATED! and acting like you just blew everyone's minds.>>291266165Agree.>>291266200They're probably saving him for if they do a future adaption. As said, he was given a lot of focus in a sense, in spite of barely appearing at all, which most likely means they are making sure to establish him so that timelines add up for later, and that he's going to be important if they do that later.The other possibility is that he's an intentional red herring and that he never plays a big role ever.
>>291264646Like >>291249665 said, the timeskip has not been covered in the recent comics. The last 10 chapters have almost certainly just been filler, so far as we can tell. They're not even part of the original chapter count. How much longer it's going to go on before View picks up with Chapter 54 is anyone's guess. Probably at least until the quota for the next tankobon volume. Maybe they needed to keep up the pace of those releases while the anime was in production?My hope is that we might someday see all the unanimated chapters brought to life at least as OVAs, but maybe that makes too much sense to be realistic.
>>291266658>July 19, 2018 – July 12, 2024Jesus, I thought it was some super old manga adapted nowdays and that's the reason they gone for the 80s vhs style on the opening.
Loved it. Need more. Will buy the overly expensive Blu-ray boxset.
>>291267337How much do they want for it?
>>291267337I wanna know if shurako is censored when she first appears naked.
>>291267346>How much do they want for it?Cheapest I see that is available to the USA is Ami-Ami at $187 https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=MED-DVD2-60686Amazon JP has it cheaper at $162 but it won't ship outside Japan for some reason. https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/dp/B0H6HHS9QDI used to import a lot of Blu-ray boxsets from Japan, so I'm not terribly surprised by the price as it's common for physical media there, but it's still crazy to pay nearly $200 for 12 episodes.
>>291261882>the response: Marriage and children
>>291251733I loved this. With the exception of the logo, it really looks like it came from the late 90s
There is always emphasis on her feet.

>>291269098lolsomeone make an edit
>>291268586One of the main draws of the show desu.
>>291267029zoomers like the "analogue aesthetic".
>>291267029For real, it has a very showa vibe to it.
>>291270431It helps every male character is as wide as they are tall. Feels very retro
>>291270469That is one of the main reasons it felt old school. Every male character is built like a rugby player.
>>291247321KOWA KOWA KOWA KOWA
>>291248597Ghost blowjob where?
>>291270469>>291270520I've watched plenty of oldschool stuff and there's only ever like one character in each series that's like that
>>291260165Why are we suddenly getting many good romance endings? Are anime healing now?
>>291270757Subversion went out of style years ago. People suddenly realized they should give the audience what they actually want.
Can Mechako have babies?
You can tell the director really likes the manga. I think pretty much every unadapted chapter has been referenced in one way or another.
>>291273128>I think pretty much every unadapted chapter has been referenced in one way or anotherWish it had more episodes.
>>291267553Oof. I actually really do want this show on BD, but I think I'll wait for a rip to just to see what the differences are.
>>291269098It's so cute that he kept her scarf for wearing. It actually looks very good on him together with the leather jacket.
I have been considering watching this anime for a while, giving a quick scroll through this thread convinced me I should do it.
>>291270431A lot of aspects of the anime feels deliberately retro, and the manga looks pretty deliberately old fashioned as well.>>291273128Wonder if the unadapted stuff could be adapted at some later point?
>>291272979Her mother was a yokai, so I don't see why not.>>291266658>My hope is that we might someday see all the unanimated chapters brought to life at least as OVAs, but maybe that makes too much sense to be realistic.That'd be really cool, though it feels like it'd need to become way more popular for that to happen.
>>291246320You more or less got your wish, now she just has to kill it. Given Shurako's transformation powers, I wonder if she could apply that to regenerate her lost body matter?Or, if not, would she still need Doppel to play ball if she wanted to turn into a cat again?
>>291245284Is Mechako legal?
>>291248538I hope those goofy fucks show up more in the manga.>>291248899God, her re-entrance is cool.
>>291274016There's no laws against the ghosts, Batman!
>>291263431I'll pray for their recovery.
So, will anyone try to translate the manga?
I like it, did U rike it?
>>291265922>two antagonistic characters get stuck togetherI love this trope
>>291274628I liked it a lot!
Are there translated lyrics for the OP and ED?
There's some fucking cursed shit on Pixiv, let me tell you.https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/150190392
>>291274628
>>291276373
>>291261630Why do you need romance in everything, faggot?
>>291277451Not him, but I wasn't really expecting it until the last few episodes, and even then it felt like just a maybe.I liked the surprise romantic ending, and for this show, it felt just alright.
I really like that the male characters weren't lame faggy twinks in this show, felt like something from the 00's
>>291277534>felt like something from the 00'sI can tell you have never watched a show from the 00's
The character design and manga art for this looks like a manga from 80s, I was surprised when I checked it and it was a 2018 manga.Likely intentional and probably talked to death already but just found that neat.I might pick up this show while waiting for next season.
>>291277534Most male characters weren't built thick like that in the 2000s, that's more a trend you'd at most see in the early 1990s and before (early JoJo, for instance).In fact, you'd see Araki gradually transition away from that style as JoJo goes, which is why he only draws twinks now.
>>291277709It sounds like you're just mad the 00s didn't feed your twink wish fulfillment. but trying to rewrite history to cope with it is just embarrassing.
>>291277911It has a lot of retro notes. Give it a watch, it's been fun, first episode is kinda dry but it gets going.
>>291278007He's not wrong, 2000s anime and manga character design wasn't twink city or anything, but it also wasn't doing chonky musclemen across the board like you see in this series, that kind of thing was going out of style during the 1990s.
>>291270688It's also the old fashioned gakuran uniforms, the fact nobody has a smart phone, and even the buildings look showa era.
Who are you maining?
Brainlet here, since when did we know Mechako was a ghost? Just noticed until the last episode.
>>291278251MR. PANTY
>>291278338Since she's the leader of the kaikigumi and just appears in protag's closet randomly she either had to be a ghost or a gegege no kitaro (ghost adjacent) type
for some reason I really liked that MC-kun had actual friends outside of Mechako
>>291278251Dio Teapot clears all

>>291280562kids disagree, which is why most schools switched to a basic blazer and tie 30+ years ago. they haven't required the military hat in 40 years.
>>291280562They were pretty widely disliked by the Japanese youth. Also, the whole military dress for school thing also isn't in good odor.
>>291282159>>291282757Kids know dick.
>>291282159The children are stupid, then. And they should be allowed no opinions whatsoever
>>291282159I hate the dorky blazer jackets. They make kids look so pompous.
>>291273811Yeah physical media is extremely overpriced in Japan. I can't recall if there's an actual reason for it though.
>>291284232The short version is the distributors who sold home media realized decades ago that otaku would pay basically anything to get a new anime on tape as soon as it was available, and were actually buying out the rental copies from rental stores. Those copies were sold at high markup in advance of the retail release, but rather than just renting, the otaku would make offers on the rental copy to the stores, and buy the rental copies outright.This in itself might not have been noteworthy, if these same otaku were not also the largest most reliable demographic for purchasing home media. The anime scene was a lot smaller back then, so while the profits on these sales look meager by modern standards, it was significant at the time, when the overall anime industry pie was a lot smaller.
>>291278251Whoever has the best odds of marrying this cutie
>>291277451Are you fucking retarded?
>>291284722No. Are you?
>>291284232because most Japs rent apartments rather than own homes, they can't really use their disposable income on stuff like cars or fishing boats like an American would. so they devote it to indoor trinkets and knickknacks instead. companies know this, so charge through the nose on "premium" collectables. they know the people who buy anime box sets are superfans and have no problem dropping stacks to collect the series they like. basically they're milking whales. Japs have started to catch on just how much cheaper western releases of series tend to be and will often buy the froreign release and import it, so publishers have started excluding content from western releases specifically to force Jap buyers to buy the domestic release.
