Discussion guidelines

This thread is here to comment on your impressions of this week’s episodes and to ask any question you have regarding the vocabulary or the understanding of them :grin:

Spoiler Courtesy

Please follow these rules to avoid inadvertent ネタバレ. If you’re unsure whether something should have a spoiler tag, err on the side of using one.

  • Any potential spoiler for the current week’s watching need only be covered by a spoiler tag. Predictions and conjecture made by somebody who has not read ahead still falls into this category.
  • Any potential spoilers for external sources need to be covered by a spoiler tag and include a label (outside of the spoiler tag) of what might be spoiled. These include but are not limited to: other book club picks, other books, games, movies, anime, etc. I recommend also tagging the severity of the spoiler (for example, I may still look at minor spoilers for something that I don’t intend to read soon).
  • Any information from later in the book than the current week’s watching (including trigger warnings that haven’t yet manifested) needs to be hidden by spoiler tags and labeled as coming from later sections.

Posting Advice

  • When asking for help, please mention the number of the episode and time of the section, and check before posting that your question hasn’t already been asked. As the threads get longer, it becomes more convenient to use the Search function, which is located in the upper right corner of the forum. It is the magnifying glass which is near your profile picture! The best way to search is usually to type part of the sentence you are confused about, and select “in this topic”. This will show you all posts within the current thread which has that string of text.
  • Be sure to join the conversation! It’s fun, and it’s what keeps these clubs lively! There’s no such thing as a stupid question! We are all learning here, and if the question has crossed your mind, there’s a very good chance it has crossed somebody else’s also! Asking and answering questions is a great learning opportunity for everyone involved, so never hesitate to do so!

I actually walked this week’s episodes yesterday. I enjoyed it though (episode 7) Renge’s rabbit discussion and (episode 8) Komari’s tantrum were harder parts for me.

グレートマン!!

Just occasionally watching this with english subtitles, but the scene is perfection…

The vibes of this show remind me very much of the sections of Higurashi When They Cry before the horror starts kicking in. I know this is not a horror anime, but when (episode 7) Renge is telling us about how her sister is still asleep, and wouldn’t wake up, and wasn’t moving at all, my brain is very ready to assume the worst.

Yeah, ironically, Higurashi in the non-horror sections is one of the other anime that gives me Japanese countryside pseudo-nostalgia.

Episode 7

I liked this episode!! All of Renge’s silliness was very cute haha. I think my favorite line was
「不良なのに真面目なのん」haha

I agree there were a few parts that were a little difficult, but sometimes it ends up being stuff like the word 焼却炉 (incinerator). So I’m like, well there’s absolutely no reason I should have learned that word already haha :sweat_smile:

Episode 8

This was a sweet episode! And fall is my favorite season :relieved: Though we had the first snow yesterday where I live, goodbye fall :face_holding_back_tears::saluting_face:

I love whenever the brother shows up, hahaha
