show set in Gunma
no tofu, no JDM tuner cars, no drifting, no mountains, no enjo kousai, no golf
What were they thinking? At least it has eurobeat, or at least the OP is.
Maebashi Witches
no enjo kousai
Are you sure?
Yes
Choco didn’t do anything wrong.
Nagoya is supreme
Nobody will be a cunt in today's episode.
For all those complaining about the Zoomer lenguage in this anime:
Did the fatty lose weight yet?
They killed her. End.
Remember to do your daily sets for your fat queen.
Choco's outfit is very cute.
Y
NAAAAA BROOO, WHYYY
Alright who's the heterosexual deviant?
it's an anime about fixing problems
the problem is that the girl is... straight
?
So she's a poorfag, right?
Never meet your idols.
she sees a naked male
This is your average Maebashi Witches viewer.
Oops, forgot my image
Apologize.
So, how did the guy get her info if she doesn't have SNS?
Mogutan magic.
The average viewer of Maebashi Witchy looks like someone who would send dick pics to high school girls without consent.
Why would you ask for consent first? It would ruin the surprise.
Could've matched her username to the insane amount of personal information Japanese celeb fan clubs ask you for when you sign up.
Esl here, is ''old bag'' just a euphemism for saying ''old hag''?
The anime did not lie, 3D Maebashi is a ghost town.
I mean, this anime makes Maebashi look like a shithole.
Maebashi looks like an easy going town full of cute girls, unlike Tokyo where those demented youtuber fuckheads live.
Fuck pinks.
Abuse pinks.
Rude, it seems like a pretty good place to live.
RIP Choco-chan 2012-2025.
the only non-bitch witch is the retarded one
Naruhodo.
It's worse than that. People are actual cumbrains.
Is this considered low-income housing in Japan?
she is kinda annoying though
Why are you like this?
Choco redemption episode.
Bravo 10/10 Sunrise.
bros... that ending was awful god damn... Kyoka did not deserve this...
it costs 70mp to rewind time
this stupid bitch wastes 50mp to send 3k yen to some vtumor
Yes she did. Youtuber fans get what they deserve.
beautiful
It costs 10 MP for 3k, no?
Went down from 1100 to 1050.
Choco did nothing wrong.
The way the voice changed here was so good.
Why are they making streamers look like groomers?
Ugh, disgusting male.
They're just being realistic anon.
Anyone can decipher his last messages?
I'll take off whatever you take off in the pictures.
Don't be shy.
I want you come and see me. We'll do more.
actually a good episode what the fuck
Anime is supposed to make people come to Maebashi.
You know... I'm just not feeling it...
remove cloth bloody bastard
in the middle of nowhere it probably costs 60,000 yen per month at most assuming they rent
The guy is from Tokyo...
will Yuina take responsibility for making Choco-chan wet
Looks like a shed desu
the sweets she had last episode were for her siblings
she lashed out both out of stress due exhaustion and because she wanted to be the one looked after at least during her birthday
still didn't show her vulnerable side to Yuina
I'm very torn on this episode. Chiyoko went from retard #2 to amazing-tier, but Yuina is the only one who gives them a semblance of group unity. The girls just "deal" with their problems themselves, it just happens that the rest get caught on it. I expected a little more power of friendship, but I guess you can't expect that from all those bitches.
What exactly is the heterosexual explanation for Yuina-cute grooming this Choco-poor?
her Machiavellian mind will soon be revealed
Any delusional clown who believes some 3d are 2.5d need to hear this.
the streamer you love also loves you and incredibly rich and attractive
this upsets kyoka
is this natty?
loves
anon he's going to fuck her and leave
this is getting unrealistic, he'd be raped by social media as soon as kyoka uploaded screenshots
Japanese schoolgirls really do Uma-Uma dance is public?
If they wanted this situation to be more realistic, Kyouka would tell him her problems and he would pretend to care until he convinced her to meet with him.
Why would she do that? She likes Mogutan!!
Bro that's photoshop
Don't let these hoes out there trick you
Only Yuina.
Make of that what you will.
Her problem will be talking about how it really hurts to have your hymen broken
This is what teenage girls dream of.
That last part went way too far. Poor girl.
This is Japan we're talking about, people would find a way to blame her for what happened.
They're going to blame her for being too... cute?
mogutan could have gotten some if he were more subtle and didn't send her the creep shots he found
expecting logic from people who want to blame a victim
Is this your first day on the internet? Hell, Anon Babble is great example of this.
"She's a whore". That's all it takes.
Fuck Azu-bitch
ah yea
I'm going to travel to Maebashi...
To look at a bookstore...
If my oshi were caught doing this you're damn right I'd blame the victim. Nobody had better try to cancel a personality I like no matter what evils they get up to.
she's a whore for yelling at choco-chan
Doubt. Kyouka's too smart.
was there even a single muri this episode
Just caught up with this series. I'm glad it got better than it seemed at the start. Not sure who my favorite character is, but honestly I think Kyouka is my least favorite. Let's see how she deals with this vtuber stuff.
If you listen to the Japanese they're using a lot of slang in it too. I think this is the most new gen slang I've heard in an anime honestly. People complain a lot still about translating Japanese gen z slang into US gen z slang. Though I don't think "gucci" is a gen z thing.
Lucky, a free Choco-chan!
Vtuber grooming
Finally a worthy issue to address.
So... how can we use mapo to fix Kyoka's problem?
smart
gives superchats out
lol
Mogutan is a closeted homosexual and they just need to sing and dance to make the flower in his heart bloom to go out with other men.
Me being a virg-
Actually never mind, considering this anime it would probably just be a humiliation episode.
that would be nice in its own right
What if you enter the store with your wish being to have sex with one of the girls?
Apologize.
Cliffhangers in this anime are something else
I never had a problem with her to begin with.
Name one (1) think Mogutan did wrong.
He's into hags.
They immediately begin undressing and fucking you there.
2 males in one episode
So males do exist in Maebashi (and Tokyo).
fucking Azu knowing full well that she's huge.
Azu will never ride you
You get Azu in her natural habitat
If he had just messaged her normally and been a little more subtle he might get somewhere but he started out with "oh yeah, I've been taking secret pictures of you at my events and am basically stalking you".
I do wonder if this might play into the thing that's been mentioned a few times about Kyouka coming off a bit masculine.
I'm fat so she'll have a disgusted look on her face the entire time. Hot.
fatties are good for anal i hear.
How avant-garde is this anime and how lewd are the girls? The art looks great and I'm wondering why it isn't more popular here.
It has some cool visuals at times but it's not too out there. And it has CGI dance scenes, which I imagine a lot of people don't like. I'm not even that big a fan of them. It's not really lewd.
DAMN
kyon-chan getting groomed hard
No real fanservice to speak of, which i'm fine with.
one of the main characters vocally hates fat people
the other hates old people
and just this episode one started sexting with a vtuber
it's pretty R-rated
I knew she was best girl. Amazing episode. The show keeps on giving.
FUCK FAT PEOPLE
FUCK CLOUT-CHASERS
FUCK THE ELDERLY
FUCK VTUBERS
It's pretty good.
I can't believe they would blatantly insult their main audience like this.
We all do. She was just brave enough to say it out loud.
there's someone poorer than Yuina in this show
What was the meaning of Choco-chan's popsicle melting during her talk with Yuina-cholin?
Losing her hard-earned money because Yuina is an ADHD retard.
So i haven't really watched it but have these girls granted any dude's witches or is it mealy mouth girls only tourism ad?
They've done a bunch of wishes off-screen so no idea if any were dudes
I was expecting Choco to be Mogutan but Mogutan actually being a groomer is more entertaining
All the cutomers are women and all they really do is give advice.
the customers so far have been a instagram whore, an old senile woman, a fat lesbian plus size model, a (female) student
This is what you kids mean when you say "groomer"? A horny moron in your DMs? Back in my day grooming actually meant something....
an adult male streamer trying to trick his underage fans to fuck him is pretty much a groomer
the only difference from this guy to real youtube groomers, is that the real ones are often trannies too, and not ripped
how is he tricking anyone he made his intentions very clear
A groomer manipulates someone vunerable into doing their bidding. If Mogutan is supposed to be a groomer he is bad at it.
I'm glad I was on the Choco-train since the beginning and she's turned out to be not just the cutest but also the best and most hard-working onee-chan. I have a weakness for poorfag family stories.
after letting her know he knows who she is, her face, appearance and (likely) where she lives since he's a creepy stalker
How many episodes is this getting?
24
Will the others ever see Azu in her natural state (a slampig)?
I'm a couple of eps behind so maybe it has already happened.
I was expecting that to happen soon after the reveal but now i'm not sure anymore.
Choco's problem was that she works too hard and is poor.
This one feels slightly different than Azu-cunt's.
Choco > Mai = Yuina > Azu > Kyouka
Mai is obsessed with her friend
Yuina's a retard with no clear goals
Kyouka's obsessed with a vtuber
Azu is fat
Choco tries her best to help her family and wants the future lives of her siblings to be better than hers.
Why did they make everyone's problems but Choco's so shallow?
Yuina's a retard with no clear goals
Yuina clearly said she wants good vibes.
Isn't that pretty realistic?
Putting it like this, being fat doesn't sound that bad.
Kyouka problem is that her family is forcing her on a path she doesn't want. The vtuber was just an escape, but now she lost that too.
Oh yeah. I don't think that's very clearly laid out though. Like what the problem is. It was previously said her mom thinks she's too masculine but in this episode it was they think she spends too much time on her phone or whatever. I imagine that like the others though it will be cleared up in her focus episode.
guy going "i have no gender i'm just me teehee" is actually a predator
Most realistic anime of the year
I knew he was going to do that as soon he DM her, I have seen far too many cases like that happening to my friends.
LONDON
They are all whores.
Oh I remember that one.
Yuina isn't a whore, she is too retarded for that.
Porn status?
You mean like hentai of the girls?
Yea
Yeah, that's why a lot of them go unnoticed and unreported, sneaky guys get away with a ton of stuff like that, it's terrible really.
Just checked Pixiv, there are 2 r-18 submissions.
Holy fuck, she actually has dementia or some shit, and Choco is abusing her???? This goes beyond just "having a problem", like Choco is a legit bad person..............
How did Choco-chan abuse that hag? She was gently escorting her out of the shop.
Why so low
Most shows barely get lewd content because it's easier to just draw a mobage character and get more attention thanks to it.
That's for every anime that isn't FOTM nowadays, but I doubt this would get much porn even before the mobile games got a hold of artists.
Artists draw to bring their favorite characters to life, not for attention superficial attention from strangers.... right?
This was beyond based.
She won't remember and it was Choco-chans special day!
Money makes the world go round!
Anon Babble LOVES it
2ch is "www maebashi???"
This show is so deep bruh
I was actually afraid this would happen.
Fuck man... I'm tearing up
youtu.be
We'll catch fire and overtake Gundam soon. Just like Tiger & Bunny vs Sacred Seven a decade ago.
lol no, one of my friends used to be a normal artist posting fanart and making commissions on cute girls, but then switched up to become a full time furry artist because the cash was that good.
11s having shit taste
business as usual
To be honest, Flip Flappers did it better.
What the heck is that video? Some subliminal message or something?
candid cutting castigating choco-chan
wake up
see this in the mirror
your response?
I don't like her lips
fucking laughed hard at this
Choco-chan is a good, chaste girl that just needs a kind sugardaddy to put her family in a better financial situation. Mai is a lesbian.
Oh no, Japan is making fun of us...
I'm unironically starting to think this might legitimately be AOTS
俺さ、声フェチなんだよね笑
I've actually got a voice fetish w
きょんちゃんの声聞きたいな
I'd love to hear your voice
電話しない？あとタメ口でいいよ笑
wanna jump on a call? btw you can be casual with me w
What's wrong with them?
Anon Babble vindicated
Just read Emergence bro
So what series this season is popular in Japan then?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is too real
Azu - Fat
Mai - Unrequited simp
Kyoka - family expectations + simp
Yuina - Dumb
Choco - The overwhelming burden of suddenly becoming a pillar holding your family together, having to balance taking care of an aging relative, kids, having a job at an age where you just want to have fun, keeping the facade of normalcy to everyone else.
Love azu for calling out that Instagram slut.
you will never ride Azu
wwww
Why does he speak like that?
Azu's problem weights the most.
One of the most famous albums in modern music
en.wikipedia.org
Oh that's how they say LOL for some reason.
I would've rather Choco's problem was that she was a streetworker to pay the bills, or that her adoptive old uncle was a drunk abuser. But sure, this works too
for some reason
笑う (warau, to laugh)
abbreviated to wara 笑
abbreviated to just pressing w
then do it a bunch, wwww
when you see a bunch of www's it looks like a field of grass, so then the next meta became
草 (kusa, grass)
くさくさくさ (kusakusakusa)
and so on...
I'm unironically starting to think this might legitimately be AOTS
Same, it's easily in my top 3 for the season.
Where can I see the full list
the project was one of the most praised music releases of the 2010s.
During the early 2020s, it became a YouTube and TikTok phenomenon in the form of a listening challenge and recommendation, after which caregivers of people with dementia praised the albums for increasing empathy among younger listeners.
That's rather nice to hear, glad that younger people are becoming more aware and sympathetic to the disease. Dementia must be one of the worst ways to go.
2ch reached the post limit. But meanwhile, 4ch...
It isn't so bad yet. You hardly even know you're sick most of the time.
That's the japanese way to say lol, but pretty old way, now play say 笑.
Nice time for our weekly Maebashi Biches.
The streamer she likes for giving her a place to be herself wants to take her as a sex toy.
This upsets Kyoka.
(Also, he might have a shit face as far as we know)
wants to take her as a sex toy
Who wouldn't. She's absolutely stunning. Really can't fault Mogutan here.
Crying.
More importantly, is the cake still good to eat.?
She's absolutely stunning.
She's androgynous and honestly looks like a feminine boy.
Just use mapo bro
this looks like a boy to you
You're just down bad for boys man.
Are you telling me kyouka is straight? But she seems like the shoein lesbian
Our parents been telling us since the 90s to never meet up with anyone from the internet. Kids growing up directly with the internet are fucked.
Azu fucker
Azu is factually the most attractive witch.
This is true... once she loses weight.
She needs to stop saying muri. And her ugly personality knocks her down a bit.
T. faggot
Ever since I read Ten I thought if I got Alzheimer's I'd rather kill myself
But then you'd forget to do it
she actually has dementia
I think that only became evident after she had her wish granted.
It was pretty obvious from the beginning
She just lost the one thing that gave her some stress relief/escapism so she is probably going to freak next ep.
Can't she turn back to not see the dick pic?
your favorite streamer wants to have sex with you
isn't this what vtuber fans want? KYOKA this is why you donated, right?
gundam
Pink almost seemed human today
Maebashi is scary
I'm going to quit being a fan of Mogutan
go watch Kurukuru-chan instead (based Nazotoki bro)
up until the last three minutes it was a pretty heartwarming episode but then it got all creepy, like if Myst was slightly cheerier
you suck, Mogudan
Some real gems in here
Incidentally I wonder how much interest there would be in a reverse Jarman sort of channel
Myst
??? the game??
expectations
reality
Moleman seemed like the kind of streamer that feels like a comfy pseudo friend you hang out with.
Now that comfy friend turns out to be a creepy dude that makes advances to underage girls, i can imagine that would horrify her.
Yeah I'm expecting a major Kyoka crashout, the last 2 episodes have been building up to it.
There might be a heart of gold under all that fat. Somebody could've hacked his Mogu account.
Indeed, guys like him are the worst, luring people and then doing them, worst part is that dude went too strong because it means he is used to it so he is now bolder than before.
ミスト
I presume so, I've never actually played it though
Nah, guys that look good and get bitches left and right are assholes because nobody tells them no.
I have, but that comment doesn't make sense to me
Here
Remove Anne Shirley and add Cinderella Gray and it's spot on for me.
Oh wait, apparently there's a horror movie called The Mist which in Japan is just "Mist"
en.wikipedia.org
This makes a lot more sense
Thats it?
I was actually considering making that exact change, but we'll see how the rest of the season plays out
What do you mean?
There is only 6 anime for the season?
I'm not judging, but are you ESL?
Moleman pretends to be chill just to lure in vulnerable JK girls
Defend this.
Pretending to be chill just to lure in vulnerable losers into donating isn't any better.
There's already dramatically improved treatments coming out in 2025, you realize. It's not going to be an issue in the 2070s or 2080s or whatever.
mahou Shoujo
actually a PSA on the dangers of modern internet/social media
What, the stuff that removes amyloid plaques? Last I heard that shit was all still experimental with no actual clinical evidence of success
Doesn't fucking matter, Alzheimer's is not going to be a fucking issue for anyone here jesus fucking christ why are you all so God damned fucking retarded
why are you all so God damned fucking retarded
I am diagnosed with Alzheimer's, don't be rude.
I'm 60 so it's a real risk for me.
Are you 20 or something?
he didn't know about a Stephen King masterpiece
Go watch it!
also, come vist Maebashi! We have uhhhh a windmill!
Bro is shitposting from his retirement home.
I love idiots who believe shit like that
AI will solve the problem!
Just reading this synopsis is unsettling enough for me, thank you
I prefer my music with bright lights and dancing anime girls
If there's one thing I wouldn't mind forgetting, it's the pain of existence
The descriptions of each "Stage" get more and more unsettling, too.
Stage 3 presents "some of the last coherent memories before confusion fully rolls in and the grey mists form and fade away."
The final track, "Place in the World Fades Away", features organ drones which eventually give way to a needle drop, leading to the climax of the series six minutes before the project's end: a clearly audible choir sourced from a degraded vinyl record. The segment ends with a minute of silence, representing the patient's death.
Although the moment evoked varying interpretations from commentators, the most accepted theory by critics and medics is that it represents terminal lucidity, a phenomenon where patients suffering from neurological conditions experience a return of mental clarity shortly before death.
Genuinely afraid of what nightmares I'll experience tonight now
Lmao how is alzheimer's real just remember
Good episode.
Its probably even worse to be the family of someone with alz. Imagine your parents/wife turning into a husk who doesn't even remember you anymore but you still have to take care if them every day.
Damn, he's ripped for someone who larp as a fatass.
Probably through her donations.
Hey that's actually a pretty nice epi... oh
Why did they make everyone's problems but Choco's so shallow?
Because most of these girls don't have any real problems.
Remember the emo trend in the west in the 00s?
Same shit.
Kyoka's gonna end up becoming a cutter isn't she?
blue is such a fucking loser holy shit
she shows off her arms, legs and belly so I doubt it.
This is why you don't follow vtubers with zero irl pictures.
I thought the entire point of vtubers was that you didn't have to see 3dpd.
I know they like their little post-credits shock value but it would've made more sense if they had already been DM'ing and she naively sent a picture of herself and then the dude escalated it and she realized she was in too deep. That would've been actually capturing the nature of grooming far better than shotgunning everything at once and hoping he can bag her.
The way it happened is far more realistic
Yeah it felt very clumsy and now i'm wondering if either he never did this before or if like some other anon said hes done this many times before and got reckless.
capturing the nature of grooming
what retarded shit am I reading?
People would've just gone "oh she's stupid, she brought it on herself" and missed the point. The grooming itself isn't actually important
How would you know?
i was having such a great time with this series until episode 5, what the hell was that garbage ass resolution? blue seriously has no self respect and it's disgusting I had to be put through that.
Grooming is not a trusted figure suddenly saying they want to fuck you. Groomers slowly lead their victim by the hand while they take note of any hints of suspicion. The steps are so gradual that by the time they're in a compromising situation the victim is already brainwashed into believing they're past the part of no return. This portrayal is making a lame caricature of the situation instead of tackling what it really looks like. It was close but missed the idea.
Looks like we've got some real grooming experts here.
It's not really grooming, it's just a famous figure sending DM's to their underage fans, which has happened several times before.
Sadly I know too much about it because an ex-friend got groomed pretty hard.
t was close but missed the idea.
Maybe the target was the apple on the head, not the guy underneath.
grooming
Nigga, she can just say no, or say nothing at all and block him, which is what will probably happen next episode.
You're starting by assuming the episode is trying to "capture the nature of grooming", which by itself is a wild assumption, and that it is consists on whatever shit you said that you claim to be an "expert of" (your credence is below zero here). It could just be any random situation instead and they don't have to be the same. It's not a documentary.
What happened is, some guy is a vtuber, found out a hot chick was listening to his tubes, and hit on her.
I think it's funny how she went away running, I know why she did it but it's funny when she could have just closed the chat.
Girls like her are a blessing from the 2d gods just the way they are.
Dunno, looking at a fat mole tuber that pretty much does nothing was for some reason her moral support.
Thought the same thing, run to where? She's already at home.
run to where?
Tokyo.
I assumed she went to the bathroom to puke.
Isnʼt she running to the bathroom because she felt like vomiting after that interaction.?
Running to the 90s. Moguman's actions were a reference to the iconic eurobeat classic.
Dark chocco arc begins.
I'm guessing the old lady is senile with dementia. Chocco doesn't want to deal with her or is reminded of her own grandmother. Both of my grandmothers have/had some form of it. It's hard when they forget just about everything. Each one lost different memory, one short term, the other long term. Long term being the harder one to watch. Short term they are still the same person, just very forgetful.
Why is she scrubbing the floor with a push broom?
She'll spend mapo on her mole vtuber. That happened quick, didn't think she would start already.
Can't believe chocco is dead.
The tomboys simping needs to be stopped before she's unfixable.
Fucking lol, the mole must be a professional smash player.
Is that from this anime?
