Prediction: Masaki turns into a bear (again), eats everyone, hooks up with Maimai. Many years later, the events of Yuri Kuma Arashi begin.

Lucy Heartfilia posted:Oh, maybe Pukey killed him? And earlier she went away alone to hide his body? I imagine that the bear (who may or may not be Masaki) freaked him out and caused him to drown in the river. Now, if he doesn't have any claw injuries, things could get real interesting - in that case, who provided the blood?

WitchFetish posted:It's basically some sort of japanese Silent Hill in which people hallucinate stuff from their subconscious/traumatic memories (Bus Driver's daughter, murderous jack for Hyouketsu no Assness and so on...). What isn't real clear yet is if it's possible for people to hallucinate stuff from other people's psyches (they all saw the "giant mitsumune", but the beast in the wood sounded different depending on who heard it). I'm betting the thing in the tunnel looked different to all of them, and Maimai was unlucky enough to blurt out the most embarrassing option first.

guts and bolts posted:The Most Powerful Power Rankings Mitsumune's creepy because (apart from a number of other things, like whatever the gently caress is up with his backstory) he's got that one-track mind regarding girls. Like, even if a woman is trying to kill him, he'll just think about how her boobs look nice. Pretty much all of the cast are anime archetypes taken to an amusingly/alarmingly grotesque extreme, and he's the Harem Anime Protagonist Guy - passive, relentlessly friendly, and obsessed with sex in even the strangest circumstances. Falling on a girl and wigging out because OH MY GOD BOOB in the middle of some huge, flashy, terrifying action sequence isn't normal, and neither is being all smiley and friendly to people who are trying to murder you, and this show is happily ripping the poo poo out of that.

guts and bolts posted:I agree with most of this, except I think that Mitsumune is less being creepy (or creepier than your average shounen harem protagonist) and more is incapable of figuring out he's in the wrong anime yet. At no point does anyone, Mitsumune included, take Lovepon's attempted murder of him seriously, so it's hard to take it seriously as the audience, which makes the entire scene basically just a farce. Well, yeah, Mayoiga is a comedy, but I think it's reasonable to call characters creepy when their creepiness is the joke. Like with, yes, Lovepon. Mitsumune hasn't gone for anyone's fingernails yet, but things like the way he didn't rule out that he was stalking the girls to their dorm do not paint an encouraging picture. Also, the head behind that giant bird mask did look somewhat feminine, which suggests an even more alarming relationship with a woman in his past.

Kytrarewn posted:Eh, not really. If you listen to the audio you can tell that the priest uses the same verb (Shioki) for "You should be in hell, brat" (or whatever the phrase was), or at least a homophone, that Lovepon uses for "Execute" when she gets so excited, which removes quite a few of the intermediary steps. "He says I should be in hell" -> "This guy's clearly evil" -> "He should be the one in hell/executed, for even suggesting it" -> "Everyone who seems to pose a risk to my paranoid mind should be executed". I do wonder if that was a deliberate extension of the already-present joke about everyone confusing Hyoketsu and Jack's names, though, since those sound nothing alike in either language.

MJP posted:I just caught up and got to page 6. I don't know if I'm liking the show anymore. It's tough for me to suspend disbelief without the right context, or something something blah blah rationalizing anime situations Did you miss the bit about it being an intentionally goofy spoof of slasher movies, then? Poor old Catacomb Assbound's sad tale should have been a pretty obvious clincher. Suspending disbelief isn't necessary when the ridiculousness is the joke, any more than it's useful to nerd out about nuclear physics when reading Quarter-Life: Halfway to Destruction.

LOVE LOVE SKELETON posted:i assumed the tiny size indicated he was on top of things. but then, you know. the rest of the episode. I suspect with many of these monsters that they're deliberately making them look cheap, silly, and unreal. You know, really emphasising that low-budget horror movie aesthetic. Valkana's was basically a big wobbly CG blob, and Nyanta's wasp kind of looked like it was made of papier-mache.

In this episode, incredibly dramatic nose picking. I adore how well Mizushima manages to kill the tension every single time. It takes real craft to get a triple-A TV series this close in tone to a crappy student horror film, especially given that what would be lazy tricks in live-action are actually significantly trickier to animate.

There Bias Two posted:Out of curiosity, what tricks are you referring to? The camerawork, mainly. They're using complex, difficult-to-animate shots to simulate what you'd naturally get from a crappy, overambitious indie film, like zooming scenes out too much so that you can see the 'actors' who aren't relevant to this particular bit getting bored and goofing off (which means lots more moving parts to animate). The special effects, too, fail in some quite carefully-crafted ways. They don't just use cheap, bad CG monsters (although they're happy to - Valkana's in particular is phenomenally  ) - they use monsters that look like cheap, bad practical props, like Nyanta's toilet-roll-and-wire wasp, or Mitsumune's stuffed animal in a wig. The tunnel scene is a great example of this - it looks exactly like bad miniature-work, with the tiny prop projected onto the screen of the bus window as they shake the set around.An in-character 'making of' documentary with Mikage as the prima donna director would be goddamn amazing.

Major Ricardo posted:I feel that this show will have a bad end, with nothing really explained or the ending will just suck. They have 2 episodes to wrap it up, so they don't have time to do anything but dump an ending on us. The best possible ending would be Mitsumune doing his big dramatic return scene only to find that half the cast has sloped off to grab some beer and the rest are playing strip poker, Mikage having a giant screaming rant at everyone else for not following the script after he made all this effort to find a proper abandoned village for them to shoot their movie, and storming off, before Dozaemon goes 'Wait, were we still supposed to be filming this?' and the screen goes black.
