I wonder if studios aren't just doing it out of a sense of tradition at this point.

I think Super Cub is company sponsored. It's like a really, really nice ad. Not that I'm complaning.

For a little variety, cooking class.

I don't think they produced tanks during WW2. A cursory glance showed me they used by-then obsolete Soviet ones.

When's the next episode?

>>35743
1.5 - 2y since part 3 jsut released

Kouya no Kotobuki Hikoutai is better.

You can always do worse than loli. There's like gay shoujo isekai, it has gotten really ridiculous. Especially in print.
The design looks really cute at least.

>I'm not entirely sure but isn't isekai actually a relatively new term/genre?
In English, maybe, which is why nobody seems to understand its usage in English despite being an incredibly straightforward term. Rayearth constantly uses the term 「異世界の少女たち」to refer to the heroines. There's some narrative convenience in having a protagonist that's as unfamiliar with the world as the viewer is, so there's always at least that reason if nothing else.

This one got me to start getting creeped out by isekai escapism.
It now feels like religious propaganda for downtrodden people. It's too obvious and as a result, depressing.

As in stories about people from the real world finding themselves in a fantastical one? I'd say that's literally ancient.

What do they sell?

tomatoes

The slice of life parts of the game were the best parts. All the gritty serious war stuff is lame.

Azure Lane. Damn mis-spelling.

What would be better is if AZURE LANE is spelt properly.

Slapping one onto one of those dime a dozen toys seems genius.

They couldn't let this guy have one line in an ep that had a lot to do with him?

I couldn't resist picking it up, Iwanaga is too cute.

>>34199
Now that you mention it, I can see a little resemblance.

One eye & one leg tsundere? Oh My Goddess.

That's a big bed, innit?

This was a weird episode.

Hungry bear

I'm still a bit concerned the message here might be a bit too materialistic.

This is a relaxing show, and I'm a sucker for SoL that features directionless, apathetic girls discovering something that brings them happiness.

>>35659
The two aren't necessarily orthogonal; persistent ennui and apathy for long enough will lead to that. Either way, her prior life was clearly joyless and somber.

>>35674
>>35677
The message I took away was that it wasn't the motorcycle itself per se but rather the thematic motif of unbounded exploration that it represents which becomes her source of joy. Of course the anime's portrayal of this is a bit glorified (think of the contrast mythical image of the "american dream" versus the current reality), but some elements of it can still be found even in real life – for instance, that ephemeral feeling of discovery that results from taking a walk outside at night in the crisp air, following random roads until you stumble upon a scenic, secluded spot (*).

The motorcycle itself is just a catalyst that helps get her off the "beaten path" and gives her an opportunity to spontaneously explore.

(*) Depending on your location, mileage may vary; trying this in a suburb might not be as succesful, but there's probably at least a creek, hiking trail, or pond nearby.

The court case and everything surrounding it made the first two ep a chore to watch, but I'd be lying if I said the end of it wasn't hilarious.

I dunno about that...

>>34266
It sounds like rock, I don't think any other meaning is intended. But I'm sure someone must have said something to them by now.

Budget

I appreciated the fact that the whole club is pretty much there from the start. I prefer that over the typical two friends hunting for members and introducing a new character each ep.
Also, those mugs looked a lot nicer than I was expecting. I want one!

Much better than I was expecting from the synopsis. I like that it tends to a more iyashikei-esque tone (at least based on the first episode). I wouldn't mind watching an entire episode of Touko and Himeno just gently shaping clay.

I took me way too long to get that wordplay pun in episode 2. I think the literal translation of the subs was a blocker since I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out what raccoons in Tajimi had to do with being common. I should have just looked at their text messages:

>"Tajimi" no "ta" nuki
>Dakara "jimi" na n'da ne

Thanks for pointing that out, I was still confused about it.

How in the hell do you miss a target this big twice?!

I like how the protag is a "sniper" who can't shoot for shit.

I love how Nate suddenly turns into a badass at the end then bails on the crew.

An isekai with a (sloppy and rushed) ending where the protag goes back to their own world, it's a Christmas miracle!
