OST of the season.

I fucking want that insert song at the end of the latest episode. It's too good.
>>124278489
You rang?
>>124278594
But he's American.
Also I'm convinced he keeps his eyes closed because God Eyes lets him see through his eyelids anyway.
Holy shit I just realized the reason nobody calls him out for having his eyes closed is because it's a deconstruction of Japanese characters having white eyes, faces, skin, etc in anime but in this one everyone excepts him to be a squinty eyed jap
Then he opened his eyes and he gade God Eyes - i.e. huge blue eyes, categorical definition of white people
What is a Shawty Woman even supposed to be?
Is she post-op or something?
>>124278489
shawty is fine as hell
i want to fuck leo

I just figured nobody really gave a shit if this kid had his eyes closed in a city with aliens and all.
Will I ever tire of koyama wanting to save the world?
Signs point to no.
>>124278646
yes! i have the ep open in vlc and im listening to it and the ed on repeat
>>124278667
His name his Leonard Watch, he was born in America, and has a blonde haired and blue eyed sister. Why would anyone think he's Japanese?
>episodes : 12
Kill me now
>>124278857
Japanese don't like baka whitu piggu gaijin and wouldn't write nor watch one with him as MC, is what /a/ believes
>>124278871
its ok man ;_; itll be a glorious run
>>124278667
I thought it was just a subversion of that one character in like every anime/manga that keeps their eyes shut all the time- except this time, that character is the protagonist and has a reason for his eyes being shut.

>>124278871
I just realized, it's already a fourth of the way over.
>>124278489
You're either a skinny white faggot with assburgers or a shitskinned nigger, either way I want you to get the fuck off my board.
I prefer to believe his eyes power up while closed.
How does wolverines shit work? Or whoever lazer eye dude is
>>124278646
Did the ED come a little suddenly for anyone this episode? Like a millisecond after the last line of dialogue and then fucking WHAM.
>>124278649
Please never stop abusing Zapp in hilarious ways; it's wonderful.
I can't believe there were actually anons in past threads complaining about Kobayuu. Her delivery of "shinee!" when the two of them were bickering in the first episode slayed me.
>>124279024
I've always liked the squinty closed-eyes characters and was pretty happy to see one as an MC for once. Especially since Leo really makes it look adorable.
>>124279112
i attribute that to being the style of the show
>>124278818
He is flawless, especially in this role.
Give the radio show a listen. It was disconcerting at first to hear him talking about wanting to drink beer and making risque jokes in Klaus's voice, but I love it now.
>>124279204
but I mean in episode 2 there was a huge lead-in (complete with a guitar intro) after White was introduced.
>>124279112
Yeah, it did. They cut the entirety of the intro which made it a bit awkward.
I'm actually worried about future episodes where they end the episode in a serious note then suddenly PARTY TIME!!!
>>124279136
In general Zapps interactions with other characters, from being bullied to bullying Leo and casually shrugging off rules, are all great. He's a fun character.
>>124279252
we'll have to wait for future eps, but i liked the cut in song that played during that scene to much to want them to extend the ed into it
>>124279112
It feels different because they didn't work the instrumental lead-in that opens the song into the last few seconds of the episode like they did with 2. It's better that way, but it's not really major enough to bother me.
>>124279024
It actually might be sort of a subversion of that archetype, considering that eyes-always-closed characters these days are so often smug as fuck and either a genius or a barely contained can of whoopass. It's neat having one who's a low-key normal guy.
Plus yeah, he's cute as all get out.

Zapp is acool guy
The amount of fanart for this show already and the speed at which it's produced is fucking awesome.
>>124279217
>Oda also likes the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Considering the designs of a lot of his characters, and how much he loves over-the-top stuff in general, I don't doubt this at all.
Zapp episode when?
>>124279624
I feel like this is gonna end up being one of the more popular shows from this season, maybe even in the west too.
>>124279801
>you're the only one whose name Japanese fans misspell
Sucks to be Zapp.
>>124279838
i really hope so i hope this one carries strong to the finish, cuz if it can stay as good as it is now, it could be one they talk about and recommend for a while
>>124279323
i want to hug him
>>124279801
I thought it was strange you renamed a pixiv image, but then I noticed the resolution wasn't correct. You should avoid saving resized pixiv images. The difference this time is minimal, but sometimes it isn't.

>Shawty
The guy at Bones English translation department probably came from Brooklyn because that word ain't used much in freedomland capital except that place.
>>124280265
>English translation department
Good one.
Pretty sure it's just like one westaboo that watches a lot of foreign movies.
>>124280265
Shawty is used a whole lot by southern and bay-area negroes.
>>124280265
What's weird is that the letter to his sister was actually pretty good English.
Can't stop listening to Hello, world!, send help.
Actually, never mind.
>>124280025
NERD!
>>124280025
Who cares?
>>124278652
He kept his eyes closed before getting God Eyes.
>>124281533
maybe it was just bright outside
>>124279274
It's kind of funny how after stepping on Leo the first time they met, Zapp was subsequently stepped on himself over and over again. Karma will always get your ass back.
>>124281774
Zapp isn't stepped on because he stepped on Leo, it's the other way around. Years of being stepped on has given him the desire to step on everybody he has the chance to step on.
Holy shit, I just watched ep 2 and is that Air on G string in the preview?
FUCKING
BASED
Wait, this show is popular in Nipland?
The FUCK?
I didn't know they liked this type of shit. (AKA actual fun and stylish anime with great characters and animation)
I wrote this off as one of the anime that'd bomb super hard in Japan.
>>124281961
It's an adaptation of a decently popular source material that plays on a lot of pop culture, it's no surprise that it's going to gather a decent amount of attention.
>>124281961
Once in a while Japan likes a good anime. Look at Shirobako.
>>124281835
This. It's probably true that Zapp was at the bottom of the Libra pecking order before Leo showed up. He's just really happy that he has someone that he can slap around a little in between their no homo brotimes.
>>124278667
He really does have his eyes closed doesn't he?
Is he using his special eyes to see through his eyelids or something?
>>124278489
Is it racist to call this woman a bitch?
>>124282420
Thank you, Zapp!
Just what was the weird eviction thing supposed to be in the beginning of the episode?
>>124282437
>racist
Did you mean sexist?
>>124282420
Thank you, Zapp!IF ONLY
>>124282490
whoosh
>>124282481
The owner won the lottery, didn't give a fuck about the tenants anymore so he sold it to a tourism group and everyone got thrown under the bus as a result.
illegal in burgerland
>>124282420
Thank you, Zapp!
>>124282490
No.
>>124279073
You mean a quarter done?
>>124282592
Is a quarter not a fourth?
>>124282629
Well yeah. Seems odd to say it that way though.
>>124282437
I wouldn't advise it.
>>124282568
That would be speciesist. And no, it's a politically correct thing to say.
>>124278667
>deconstruction
Yeah, no. Stop with your stupid muh white power.

Poor Leo. Judging from the cardboard boxes, he wasn't even done moving yet.
And does this mean Leo wears tightie whities?
>>124283015
Yes.
He also masturbated into two different socks. Same pair though, looks like.
>>124283075
Aren't those paper? Maybe more rejected attempts at letters to Michella? One is crumpled into a ball and the other one he tried to fold into a crane but messed it up.Or maybe I just want to believe that Leo is even more adorably terrible at origami than me.
>>124283015
>>124283075
I got the feeling most of that was the previous tenant's stuff. It's clear he's only barely moved in.
>>124283075
Aaah, Boner Magazine, the choice of discerning gentleman everywhere.
I'll bet I know who has a lifetime subscription.
>>124283187
>>124283229I was half joking
Regardless, I think the fact that he doesn't have a wall would dissuade him. Sleeping that close to such a steep drop though, he's got balls.
>>124283015
>>124283243
If there is no chapter in the manga where following this Leo crashes on Zapp's couch until he finds a new place to live, it's a crying shame.
>>124283229
Hasn't it been six months?
>>124283288
I assumed the place got renovated while he was asleep.
>>124283229
Okay then smart anon, you tell us what kind of underwear Leo wears.
>>124283348
It's hard to tell because it's such a clean cut, but I guess they have the technology to do something like that.
>>124283334
>Leo crashes on Zapp's couch

Boxer-briefs with a fruit print pattern.
Guys I'm so confused, what the fuck happened to New york? What are these worlds? Is the world of the last episode underground or in the mist, what even is the mist?
I can't even enjoy the battles because I'm trying to search for an explanation, should I just read the source material?
>>124283413
>cooks breakfast for everyone
>girls keep coming over, even when Zapp's trying to bang a different one, even after they've broken it off, just to eat Leo's food and hang out with him
Until finally Zapp throws him out because Leo is ruining his swerve. (And also, he's jealous.)
>>124283569
theres normal new york where chill aliens and humans get along
then theres outer new york where the aliens that cant get along with humans hang out
then theres the other dimension where all the aliens are from
at least that is what I got from it
>>124283569
Watch the first episode again, anon. It's more rewarding on repeat viewings anyway. You can play 'spot the Trigun reference'.
Can Leo chose to see like a normal person or are the eyes always on?
>>124283658
The way he speaks makes it sound like they're always on. If he could shut them off, he wouldn't have been confused that Zapp didn't see the illusory truck for what it was.
>>124283446
>fruit print
Monkey-approved.
>>124283658
I imagine that they're always on, but given what they can do, he can 'see' with his eyes closed perfectly fine enough to get around. It's just when he opens them that he can really see into the nitty gritty of things and use his powers.
I imagine as a result it's actually more comfortable to keep his eyes closed by default.
>>124283658
I believe they're always on, that's why he didn't realize she's a ghostif she is, and how he saw the supersonic monkey. Or do you use your superpowers while drinking coffee?
why is leo so perfect?
>>124283757
I'm pretty sure that the 'closed' eyes is just a stylistic thing to show that he has narrow and squinty eyes.
>>124283798
His eyes are actually closed though. He only really opens them when he needs to use his powers.
It wouldn't make much sense for him to just be widening his eyes to use his powers. He has them closed.
>>124283839
>It wouldn't make much sense for him to just be widening his eyes to use his powers
Why not?
do you think this shows gonna get hella gay
>>124283798
Except it makes a point of showing that no one else can see his All-Seeing God Eyes until he "opens" them. It seems obvious that they're actually closed since them being closed is pretty much a plot point.
>>124283896
And a person walking around in public, having conversations with others, driving on the road and otherwise living his life with his eyes closed 24/7 is entirely inconspicuous, right?
>>124283893
Because it's been shown in several cases that he sees shit he shouldn't be able to in closed eyes/squinty mode.
>>124283919
In this city? May as well be.
>>124283919
In a world full of superpowers and whatever those demon niggas were I wouldn't be surprised.
I wonder if he can see things normally through pictures/the camera, it could be another reason why he likes it even though he liked it before he got the eyes. Not to mention the dude with holes for a face could see just fine apparently. He definitely saw Klaus giant blood cross coming for his ass
>>124283893
His expressions, for one.
He winks narrows/opens his eyes. Every time he opens his eyes his powers seem to be on full blast.
>>124283919
Not much more than squinting like a motherfucker, which wouldn't help anyway since the person would be able to tell that his eyes are fucked up.
If we're talking about what makes sense here, closed eyes would probably be way less unusual than his eyes normally--which several characters are stunned right off the bat and know what they are upon seeing them.
>>124283990
>I wonder if he can see things normally through pictures/the camera
I think so, that would explain why he took a picture of White.
>>124283919
It ain't a big deal in a place like HL. The All-Seeing Eyes of the Gods, on the other hand, are an incredibly well-known and sought after artifact/power that people would kill to get a hold of.
>>124283569
I think the alterworld is in the center of the mist and the regular new york is sort of along the outside. Is it even a circular area that's affected? Maybe it's more like a wall
>>124283796
50% fluffy
40% badass
10% lewd
That adds up to 100% perfect.
Why are kek threads the best threads? Is it because it's thebestshow?
>>124283569
A portal to another dimension opened up in the center of the city. The fog flows from it and is thicker closer to the portal. Peeps from that dimension now live in New York, like some horrific transdimensional melting pot.
>>124284116
It's that cute little bouncy dance with his hands in his coat pockets that he does during the ED that's the best.
>>124283895
Nobut the threads sure are.
And expect a tidal wave of doujinshi. Man, if Nightow was perplexed by the popularity of Wolfwood/Vash back in Trigun's heyday as he was rumored to be, he'd better prepare himself now, because he ain't seen nothin' yet.
>>124284235
I would live in HL. It'd be like living in Sigil I think.
Is Klaus an alien demon thing? Why does he have fangs?
Did they get their powers the same way Leo did?
>>124284235
>perplexed by the popularity of Wolfwood/Vash back in the day
this shouldn't be as funny as it is
>enjoy this show
>can't talk about it because the threads re overrun with fujoshi
This sucks.
>>124284183
It's been a lot of fun since the majority of shitposters cleared out, knock on wood. Thank DanMachi and Euphonium for distracting them.
And please tell me you know what Twitter that came from, because hot dayum.
>>124284322
If you think these threads are bad you should see Arslan threads.
>>124284374
I'm still not convinced that the MC of Arslan is a dude.
>>124284322
>not talking about fine werewolf booty
>or leather MILF hotpants
>or GHOST BLOWJOB
Put up or quit shiposting and shut up.
>>124284322
You can still talk about it while fujoshi post, you know.
>>124284374
Arlsan is so fucking gay and I haven't even been keeping up with it, I could barely focus on the first episode without feeling sour to the idea of all the shota doujins it would spawn.
Man, White won me over so fast with her 30 seconds of screen time.
Here's hoping she provides Hestia with some competition as Queen of /a/ these coming months.
>>124284274
But there's no point if HL doesn't have its own Lady of Pain.
>>124284346
it's by http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=165536, that image is private though, hence danbooru url
>>124284396
Shawty woman has had like 5 minutes of screentime and done fuck all. I'm not even sure what archetype her character is supposed to be yet because we've seen so little of her.
Why is Chain so cute? Fuck.
>>124284413
I kinda does. Klaus's group of misfits act like a LoP for HL. Which makes that guy who put the trans-dimensional slasher flea on the monkey Vecna from that shitty AP?
>>124284448
That disinterested-yet-mysterious demeanor paired with the all-business plainjane look and a sharp tongue. She's got a girl's cuteness, a lady's beauty and a woman's wit.
Best girl.
>>124284446
>draws fujo art and makes it public
>draws voluptuous bishoujo art and makes it private
Is she afraid people will find out she's based? Also, fuck me; I still can't into filenames.
>>124284447
>I'm not even sure what archetype her character is supposed to be
Okay, I take back what I said. This show isn't for you; you can go.
So. Chain is basically rule 63 Wolfwood, right?
>>124284581
Pretty much. Not only that, the guy she wants to bang also looks like Wolfwood.
I don't know if there's a name for this, but I think it's my new fetish.
>>124284465
I don't think so. Femt wrecking things aside, there is no dabus equivalent to fix the broken stuff.
>>124284465
Not nearly OP enough to be an LoP equivalent.
>>124284396
I'm a fujoshi and I approve of this message.
This show is packed wall to wall with fine bitches. If you can't appreciate them all, it's your loss.
>>124284711
There's no dabus equivilant YET. Hell, it's probably the citizens of HL; it creates jobs.FEMT for president, 20XX
>>124284744
The people of HL are also a lot weaker, and so are the threats.
>>124284656
I want to see more of them together. The finger-locking in the ED dance is way too precious.
>>124284748
Speaking of which, do the non-humans use human currency as well?
>White and her brothers?only appears in the first and last 2 minutes of every episode for the rest of the series
So, how many femanons are out there watching this show?
>>124284809
Hmm, I have no clue. I would assume so, because HL is still technically America, it just had another reality superimposed on it. The aliens are merely immigrants from Alterworld.
>>124284888
Human please. Alterworld obviously annexed New York.
It'd be interesting if there's an exchange between human and non-human currency. Arbitrage can be the key to owning HL.
>>124284867
Absolutely none
>>124284809
The currency in HL is called Zeros (or maybe Zeeros). I'd assume it's used by everyone that cares about standard money, and not SOULS or whatever like the Don.
>>124284968
>It'd be interesting if there's an exchange between human and non-human currency.
If Libra didn't pan out for Leo maybe he could have tried forex next.
I want faggots to go and stay go in 'it's time threads'. Seriously, stop ruining these threads. Go discuss your sick fetishes in threads reserved for that
I want to enjoy this show but all I'm getting out of it is "here's a deep plot that you shouldn't give a fuck about because its really all about fun and jazz".
>>124285000
Nice trips.
He doesn't have capital so he might not even make it to the door. Construction seems to be the big one with everything getting wrecked every now and then. I still don't get why would anyone hire a human over the other bigger non-humans though.
>>124285149
>deep plot
There is/was no deep plot or any hint at that, the fuck are you talking about?
Is it Saturday yet?
Character profile for the next guest character is up.
Voice will be byMamiko Noto
>>124285177
The plot in general doesn't seem to be the main focus at all. In fact, I've already forgotten what the show is about because they fuck around the entire time.
>>124285232
She's cute
>>124285250
>anon's first episodic
aight
>>124285149
You say that like it's a bad thing.
>>124285149
Libra seems like a vigilante group that keeps the balance in this fucked up place, but that's sort of happening in the background. I feel like the real plot is about Leo and doing whatever he needs to do involving his sister
To those reading/have read the manga, is it a good adaptation so far, outside of the inclusion of White?
Do you think they'll fit everything into 12 episodes?
>>124285169
>He doesn't have capital
Vivian likes him; maybe she'd lend him the startup. Plus he has a monkey now. After a month or so as an organ grinder in Central Park and letting tourists take Polaroids with Sonic for five bucks, he'd probably have made a fair bit.
Or he could just pimp Zapp out.
>>124285169
I'd hire a normal human over a demi-human based on finesse, qualifications and the ability to communicate. It's quite one thing to be able to benchpress a skyscraper, but another to be able to listen to and understand complex instructions. Hell getting backpackers and chinks to do simple workfruit pickingis one hell of an ordeal without a good translator. Throw literal non-humanity into the pot and you may have spoiled the soup.
>>124285357
Yes. First episode was a bit rushed, otherwise it's all cool.
What do you mean by everything? Everything that's out so far? Impossible, there's 10 volumes out there, best case scenario is what they're doing now - 2 eps per volume. So we'll most likely see volume 5 adaptation and then 2 eps of original content at the end.
>tfw this will end in like 2 months
>volume 8 won't be available till then
sucks. At least the RAWs are up for 8 and 9, so may be some faggots should translate it.
>>124285654
I don't want to read this manga without sexy ghost girl.
>>124285365
>not using Sonic to pick pockets
It already knows how to steal things. Just teach it to steal the shiny ones.
>>124285412
They can speak just fine. I was expecting to see non-humans who can't speak human languages.
Did the manga mention anything about screening non-humans who try to go to HL to pass some kind of language proficiency test?
