I watched the first new anime. It is trying to trick me into watching it by using FukuJun, a maid, and a good opening song. I will stay strong and drop it. Okay, at most one more episode just to be sure.
It would have succeeded if FukuJun was voicing the maid however it was not brave enough. Oh well, with such a shit plot and zero effort to adapt the web novel transitions into a fluently flowing anime episode, I couldn't have expected a FukuJun-voiced maid.

Some PV streams leaked a while ago.
Koi wa Futago de Warikirenai is pretty straightforward. Looks like the focus is on the drama between the sisters rather than romcom shenanigans. It looks competent enough so I'll stick around for a while.
Gimai Seikatsu surprised me, however. Usually, when a high school boy says "I got an imouto-in-law and it's NOTHING like light novels", the very next frame it IS exactly like light novels. Here, however, I got 20 minutes of two teenagers genuinely being awkward around each other and trying to be polite while they figure out how the hell they should interact, with zero sexual tension. It looks like the staff have something in mind, so I'll follow along.
By the way, I learned that nip houses have lights down in the space where you leave your shoes in the entrance - it's a bit hard to see in this screenshot, but there's a light in the lower right corner. Makes a lot of sense, really, but I had never thought of it.

>MC is technically popular with the girls and socially skilled, he could rightfully retort 'go read Proust, nerd'.If it weren't for his serendipitous encounter at the restaurant, he'd still be greatly concerning his poor imouto. Piggybacking off the previous paragraph, his situation is one of having the tools to do well, but not possessing the know-how to effectively use them.

In other news, while watching eps 5 and 6 I figured out what was eating me inside about Lu the last two weeks. Didn't Nikola die lots of times? That's at least what I gathered from the first episode, that ourguy had tried the quest a number of times, and Nikola died each time. And then I guess the world brought her back, together with the entire village. But Lu doesn't get such a treatment? But just as Nikola is an event NPC, Lu is also an event NPC? Maybe the story should have established first the difference between NPCs that get brought back and NPCs that are permanently dead, and then to do Lu. Then I would have taken her death much more to heart. Now I am just left to feel as if it isn't such a big deal. I even kinda wonder if the world won't just respawn her at some point. Logically speaking, that probably won't happen, but I just can't take to heart their explanation why the permadeath.
No.36764
>>36759Nikola and her village aren't normal NPCs, not even in the mold of Lu: they're part of the main quest if I recall correctly, and this is mentioned. The MC wasn't surprised that Nikola re-spawned, but rather that her memories persisted and weren't reset; he's of the opinion that a technical abnormality effected this.
Lu is more or less a regular NPC except she has some particular mechanics attached to her. Unless Todd Howard intervenes, or a similar bug affects her, there's no reason to anticipate an eventual resurrection.
No.36765
>>36764Wasn't it a side quest? He only specifies "quest" and "event", never "main quest". Log says "Chapter 1 Saiyaku no Hajimari" but that's about it. What I gathered from the latest eps is that the quest in the castle is the start of the main questline but considering the hoihoi dragons quest is "Chapter 1" maybe you are right? But he also said before that he hasn't advanced on the main quest, unlike his coworker?
Lu on her side is described as a "subquest NPC". So in the end they are both quest NPCs? Usually you'd have some anti-griefing measure on the game server. Which in this case is the guards function… but if Lu gets killed and it's permadeath, one person would be able to ruin this quest for the entire server forever. But maybe the "subquest NPCs" are more randomly generated, so even if the same subquest becomes available again, it wouldn't be Lu? Who knows. Thinking about it is kinda pointless… because, as you said, there is no logical reason to anticipate an eventual resurrection. The narrative makes it clear, even if it hasn't properly explained things and I am left wondering why exactly does she stay dead.
So… there's what they describe as a quest ("Chapter 1: Hoihoi"), there's what they describe as main quest (the castle thing), and then there's what they describe as subquest (Lu). The difference between main quest and the rest should be that players get instanced for the main quest. We know Lu is not like that, but we don't know whether ourguy was instanced for Nikola.
No.36766
>>36765What makes sense to me would be that things labeled as "main quest" wouldn't be repeatable, while Nikola's village's destruction obviously was repeatable. Unless he used a hack to restart the quest? But that would go against his policy on not using the debug functions.
That being said, I wonder what exactly the game's policy on persistent world would be. I guess ourguy says he would be phased out from his bugged out colleagues if he progresses with the main questline, but he still swears to come back to help them, because of course he does?
No.36769
>>36765>>36766You are indeed putting way too much thought into this, I think. (Not that I'm complaining!) As for Nikola, she's at least part of some quest that's repeatable or something of that nature; and her current state is the result of a technical issue. Neither of these apply to Lu. That's good enough for me, but if you're still interested, read the manga to get (possibly) more insight:

I mean, I get it, it's not part of her quest to respawn, but gameplay necessitates such NPCs to be replaced somehow if they die, be it through respawn or some other method.

What I particularly liked about this episode was how all the club members spontaneously started talking like characters from a detective story. When asked a question, they gave brief, well-phrased answers that contained only useful information. It's subtle, but it's different from how dialog flows in other genres, and it was making MC really get into it. What hope does he have of becoming ordinary if the universe he lives in sets up traps like this?
Actually, now that I overthink it, if it turned out that Kengo was deliberately setting up detective plays in order to draw his old pal back into his habit, it'd totally check out. He even anticipated what Yuki would do when presented with unguarded pastries! The mastermind!

>>36898I am willing to hand-wave the unseaworthiness with "the girls were just doing lines right before that"… but the whole plot for now didn't have much sherlockian mystery to it, it was all pretty straightforward. Let's see if they will actually use the setup for something or not. Either way, our guy should definitely rape correct Osanai until she learns her lesson. Getting yourself in a situation with a crackhead holding a knife to your throat makes one a bad girl.

>>36920I'd say the Dungeon People just needs a wider recurring secondary cast with more weird personalities off of whom the main two can play off of. The sketch with them discussing "water" was probably the greatest in the series, not in small part because it's playing off of the dwarf. On the other hand, the adventuring party is recurring but they don't play off of the main two at all.
Meanwhile Giji Harem and the NBR siblings I don't really think they can be improved. They have their own concepts and they do them well. It's just… they aren't quite as exciting as something like Machikado Mazoku or Yosuga no Sora. The limited scope is at the same time a strength and a weakness - I enjoy them greatly but they aren't the type of series that would enter my top 10 or top 100.
I already dropped the deer for a similar reason: it smells like they are trying to make it a high-octane referential gag comedy but it just doesn't have that many gags per minute and the references are there only occasionally.
I guess I just want a layered experience with high informational density to excitedly write walls of text about. Even Atri isn't really described by that.

>>36932This was a trifecta of bullshit, between Osanai's explanation pretty much boiling down to "they tried to threaten me so I decided to go full Moriarty on them", the meta of the entire arc depending entirely on showing us exactly nothing of what is going on and leaving zero foreshadowing, and Osanai leaving our guy's parfait uneaten. To be honest, the most disappointing part is that they built up a dynamic between these two, then went "oh, but see, that is actually not their dynamic at all, that was just Osanai plotting something the entire time". Which kinda kills my character investment too. Well, Osanai continues to be cute, which just goes to show the power of cute girls.

>>36966That really was tons of gaslighting from her, the entire episode. Hopefully Jogoro has learned not to stick it in the crazy.
Also, most likely when it gets to court, they will throw out the case against the girls based on the text message that the psychopath sent. They won't be able to prove that it was her all along, but they won't be able to prove that it wasn't her either.

>>36972>And to think when this season started, I was under the impression they weren't abnormal enough to justify the show's title and aspiration.This. You've spared me a post I didn't know how to put together. This was our flaw, we thought this show was about a couple of nerds that played detective, when in fact it really was about two damaged people who exerted a completely destructive influence on each other. In retrospect, it's not surprising at all that speculating about cocoa naturally evolved into playing deadly games with drug traffic bands.
And now the vigilante, the middle-class Rorschach, is teaming up with the wannabe investigative journalist who's watched All the President's Men one or two times too many, neither knowing that one of them is after the other.
No.36982
>>36980Meh, I wouldn't call either of them damaged at all. The narrative seemed to state that there wasn't any influence happening either, she was just using our guy to escape her old infamy. I guess the idea was that Jogoro himself was also pretty much just indifferent about it? I can't quite tell what conclusions am I supposed to draw and what is just me extrapolating too much from something that isn't thought out that much.
