The start of the new arc today.
Episode trailer: youtube.com/watch?v=ZjKHL3EjbBg

cuckshit

too early, retard

It's the usual time.

Urino-bros, what's our boy doing now?

Either dead or transferred away.

choked on cocoa

kek

WHY DID HE DO IT

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Might drop it after last week ruined the characters and had a nonsense explanation for the riddle.
Honestly dunno if I wanna watch this one

HOLY SHIT

I can't believe they actually killed Jo off.

up

Trying to kill Osanai's BF

How does she get her revenge here?

wait a minute

cute

WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK

I WAS KIDDING

But he had enough time to jump down with her!

LMAO

And after he saved her life... she barely even cared

The driver will soon *wish* he was dead.

Why are you asking him this????????

It should have been me

He gonna repeat a year?

added "on the driver" so that Kobato wouldn't think it's revenge on him

cute

well..

TATAKAE

I'll need a cake for this.

Wait, this turbo autist actually has such a cute sister?

HA!
NOT SO ORDINARY NOW YOU LITTLE PRICK!

drove him to suicide with suiri

o god

I think I understand why Kobato wants to become shoushimin, I don't think anyone liked him.

Fuck. Chat is this real?
Now I really can't be involved in a accident.

The culprit is among us

I CANT BELIEVE URINO TRIED TO KILL KOBATO FOR REVENGE!

tf no caring gf

So I'm going to take a guess and say Jogoro pulled a Urino and got way too into the case for his own good
Hisaka even told him to drop the whole thing

Jesus Kobato, calm dowm.

peak kobato autism episode

It's going to be the reason behind Kobato and Osanai relationship.

You guys................

How did she pull off her revenge so quickly? It's kind of overkill though, even for her

instantly making that connection

He's so fucking smart, I could've never

heh

pui

You're smiling, you're smiling. A classmate was in an accident with a hit-and-run car and you're smiling.

KI NI NARIMASU

So lovely

I can't believe Kobato turned into Chitanda

And beyond!

OH GOD

I love how everyone took a screenshot of this moment even while knowing everyone else took one

kek

I will miss these threads when the anime is over.

BACK THE FRONT TRUCK.
ARE YOU TELLING ME OSANAI WAS INVOLVED IN A SIMILAR ACCIDENT TOO?

IS SHE AN INCIDENT MAGNET OR SOMETHING??

Driver about to be urine'd

I like how she specified that she's pulling a fukushuu on the driver

Kobato actually saved Osanai

I think Osanai now has to stay with him.

Osanai will burn the driver's car and maybe his house too

Urino was right all along

Driver that hit Osanai was Hisaka

Osanai rented a kei truck and ran him off the road in revenge

I hate this show because I start watching it, blink, and then it ends and I have to wait another week for it. Another fantastic episode.

This is it, exactly. He's mentioned or alluded to this before, but just like how the end of season 1 showed how insane Osanai is, this is probably gonna do the same for Kobato. My theory right now is that for whatever reason, Hisaka either planned or wanted this to happen, maybe to take pressure off the tournament and give him a valid excuse to take it easy for a bit. Specifically aiming to keep his injuries at just sprains/fractures of his hands and arms, just based on the position he used to defend himself, it'd also give credence as to why he'd attempt suicide later. Who knows though.

I'm going to try to predict everything from just this episode. I think the anime wants us to think that Hisaka in some way set the accident up with Fuji, and that's why they're both so hostile. However, I think Hisaka killing himself is a huge detail.
Therefore, I think the conclusion will be that Hisaka did NOT set this up at all; however, Kobato gets carried away and essentially frames Hisaka. This causes Hisaka to kill himself. After graduating, Kobato learns that Hisaka really was a victim. That's why he wants to apologize and why he's torn up by Hisaka's suicide.

kek

tfw only 2 episodes left

Why this show has black bars top and bottom? Bad for screen grab.

You had the same idea I did, but I forgot Kobato wanted to apologize for something. If or not he actually framed it is one thing, but I think it's going to be the case that Kobato gives pretty good reasoning that'd lead anyone to believe it was framed, and Hisaka either (potentially) kills himself either due to a), it being framed and the embarrassment and shame from it, or b), not being framed and not having anyone believe him. Considering how he looks when we briefly see him in class, I'm chosing to believe that this was intentional and he wanted out for some reason.

lol

It is a bit annoying, I wish it was just a file at the aspect ratio they want it at, rather than a 16:9 signal but with black bars to shorten it. I love the look but it is a shame that we have permanent black bars in screenshots.

It's most likely going to be 11 overall. As 10th episode is not final.

:)

the reflection on the mirror

He probably was hiding something.

I forgot Kobato wanted to apologize for something

I actually forgot that too until I started typing, then I went back and basically inverted everything

Wasn't something like this in a flashback?

She was ready to fukushuu him right there.

I hate this show because I start watching it, blink, and then it ends and I have to wait another week for it.

You're not alone.

just one more thing...

kys yourself lol --kobato, 3 years ago

Middle schooler Kobato is very punchable

not what I'm called

Hisoka killed himself out of shame

Damn, Kobato, you suck

Fuck Osanal

osanai has adopted the NAP so religiously that the world bends itself over to deliver instant karmic fukushuu to her wrongdoers

God damn, what a girl.

O MY RUBBER TIRES

No shit. Kobato made her dropped her snack after all.

The scariness boosts the sexiness

Hisaka*
kek

Hisaka either planned or wanted this to happen, maybe to take pressure off the tournament and give him a valid excuse to take it easy for a bit

Yeah, that makes sense.

seeing kobato pester him to the point where he's just like what the hell? was pretty funny

I was a bit surprised to see her eating taiyaki because my brain for some reason assumes it's savoury, even though it's most common filling is anko.

Worrying about someone who will certainly survive is a waste of effort. Osanai figured out he would be fine and clamed down.

So Osanai and Kobato team up to find the driver and both of them get burned?

Because any medical procedure needs a patient's consent for liability reasons.

Well, Kobato gets burned alright. That's because the driver was.....

Why would anyone ever walk along this road? Don't they usually have proper sidewalks?

He's being forced to miss going to college with Osanai.

Minors can't consent.

Considering how he looks when we briefly see him in class, I'm chosing to believe that this was intentional and he wanted out for some reason.

The fact that no one in the class except one guy and kobato wanted to help investigate the accident and how he laughed when kobato said that everyone had "urgent business" also supports this claim.

KEK

Just waiting for her to do that cursed smirk.

They were most likely not planning on going to the same place as she said this.

he's 18

However, regardless of how my relationship with Osanai-san has changed, our ties will not last for long. Both of us are third-year students in high school, and we have different goals for higher education

Also even if that was true for a minor, they are letting him know the current recommendation. Procedurally they do not state "we are going to do this" for major operations, that would not make sense. In that case ultimately it will be his parents that sign the forms. But they can still tell the actual patient what the current recommendation is.

Assuming the books took place around the time they were written in, he would've been a minor.

計画通りって顔

Was she about to end his entire life for that push?

Why is she stalking him in the first place?

And she did (or tried to) immediately thereafter. Amazing

Jogoro is 18 in this arc. He was studying for college entrance exams, which he will have to miss because he can't go to the exam venue with a broken femur.

Attracted to autism energy

Good episode. They are making up for the normalfaggotry of the first arc with this flashback arc.

You could probably piece together what happened with the Flashback in S1 and this episode, but it doesn't answer yet why Osanai was targeted twice

She's a bookworm and this autistic fuck is talking to himself out loud about the accident (an accident she was involved in) in the library. Of course she was gonna get interested on who's looking into it.

JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

jogoro's origin story

how jogoro and osanai met

how did they come up with the shoushimin pact

I can tell I'll enjoy this arc even though it will largely be a flashback.

Kobato's autism is so funny

kobato solves the mistery

Osanai gets revenge on the driver

years latter driver try to hit Osanai because of what she did in the past to him

hits Kobato instead

I can see this happening.

Only 2 more episodes left? Will this be enough to cover this arc?

Unhinged, unfiltered Kobato and Osanai are truly the highlight of this series.

While you're technically right, that's stupid especially for a patient who was in an accident.

What happened to this faggot?
I want to see him suffer more.

They covered 1/4th of the book with this episode and nowhere it was said that it's only 10 episodes this season.

Died on the way to his home planet.

Yeah, I'm surprised at how quickly they are drilling through the arc. I skimmed through the book to check its length and it's quite sizeable.

My guess is sulking at home and hasn't shown his face at school in a while.

No, Urino-kun. The surgery isn't absolutely necessary to begin with, and even if it was, it's not immediately necessary to the point of being life-threatening. The patient is an adult who is conscious and is of sound mind. Try to keep up?

Based on an event it seems like there's probably 11 episodes

The book has shitloads of Kobato inner thoughts.

Who are these people?
Especially that school girl.

the vibe and production are amazing, and the mysteries are great, I wish I could watch 3 seasons of this in one sitting

Kobato's family. Mom, dad, and younger sister. Yes, they don't get focus in this series.

Really?

I want to fuck Kobato imouto.

amazing right out of the gate, and it never stopped

dad

kobato has a smoking hot imouto

this is arguably the only time she will have any kind of screentime

this is the series' final arc

Damn, what a fucking waste.

also, we need another season of hyouka

To be fair I didn't recognize them either. His imouto is cute. I don't recall them showing up or being mentioned, but my memory sucks.

Key car, you said?

Maybe if author actually finished hyouka, maybe there would be a chance for adaption just like with shoushimin.

lmfao

Shit! That's her mom? Looks like an ordinary asian auntie. Totally loses to Osanai's mom.
Well... at least her younger sister is kinda hot & fuckable.

Humiliated to death.

AWOOOGA

Looks like an ordinary asian auntie.

A total shoshimin?

Kobato actually looks younger, but Osanai lol

why is the dad wearing school uniform?

I don't think it's going to be as extreme as Kobato being so directly responsible for the guy's suicide/attempt. But I could be wrong.

Perhaps because she's a fukushuu maniac creating grudges left and right?

He's lying. In the book, it was the classroom teacher and his classmates who visited.

hisaka doesn't want to play the final game/thinks he will lose

sets up an accident to save face

kobato turbo autism exposes him and he loses a lot of face

hisaka tries/becomes a hero

hisaka or someone close to him tries to run him over

Osanai is gonna wind up being one of those girls who can fit in her middle school clothing till death. Dangerously smol. Girls hit puberty before boys so her ships already sailed. Maybe like a few episodes before she still has some cm left in her to grow but this is end game build. Or so I hope.

I thought they were his classmates.

Piss-kun didn't do anything wrong.

oh-uh... looks like that random girl got a crush on Kobato

150cm is not that small

But how does Osanai tie into this?

150cm is already too big
should've stayed in the 130-140 range

I'm 185cm so it is to me. But if I think about it too much it makes my heart hurt so I'm going to stop. Why can't she be real bros

Well?

Kobato is just an asshole

Recommend me anime with this vibe, but not monogatari

I'm a bit sad it's this obvious already

Ice Cream.

>hisaka tries/becomes a hero

Deserved for ruining Osanai's day.

She's trying to kill whoever made her fall & lost her notes & snack.

I guess the mystery is finding out what Osanai has to do with both accidents

Osanai did 9/11

Anon...

fuck, this series so fucking good

Really putting me in a "need to rewatch Hyouka" mood

What will Osanai do to the driver for almost killing her bf?

Kill him with nothing "almost" to it

Another classic Jogoro moment

Okay, you made me look it up.

Wait, the novels are translated? Or are they "translated"?

she framed a person for less
I'm expecting severe bodily harm this time

push only her but stand like a retard looking at her, then get hit like on purpose

Typical rubbish anime trope. Instinctively, he should've hugged smol girl and dove to the side together.

I would've tanked that desu

colombo, the early years

He wanted to get hit because he thought it would be funny to see how Osanai would get revenge

we were denied an imouto

0/10 worst anime of all time

Osanai should get revenge on him for being a retard

It's translated and I would recommended reading it. It's a good read, still waiting for anime adaption to finish before reading the last volume though.

I'm very inclined to think this is true. Either that or, less likely so, someone was contra-fukushuuing miss Osanai, just as it is with the "present" hit and run. Overall great episode, as expected.
Hmmm. You're onto something here. That would be quite a shock to Kobato and would justify his autistic search for shoushiminness. It remains to be seen how Osanai will be involved in this past case and how it molded her and Kobato's agreement

He made sure to get hit so Osanai wouldn't misunderstand the push and try to get revenge on him, which would end up being much worse than breaking a few bones.

will this nurse shows up?

so the gimmick of this arc is that jogoro has no memory

no head trauma after smashing his head into the windshield

Bullshit.

still less unhinged than Osanai...

didn't watch the episode yet but im gonna guess its just a dude killing himself over Kobato revealing the truth and it making life impossible for him. It's not like you have to be framed to kill yourself

They said he was concussed

as this season has shown this is complete slop and the writer sucks huge cock after hyping it up with a good s1.
but yes he should have died instantly on that street given how the hit is portrayed. Having the time to tumble her off but not dodge himself is pathetically fucking retarded, how much effort would it take to write a scene where this wasn't possible?

Yeah but his brain is ok (besides the fact he's an autist). That's the bullshit part.

Kinda get that vibe from that bed bath nurse.
She seems kinda pissed.

Ignore the tard

I mean, imagine if your job was to give a shower to randos and take care of their shit and piss (since joe can't barely move he's probably wearing diapers).

Don't feed the troll

should have stayed in school

She seems kinda pissed

Can't believe Kobato pissed on her.

Kobato shouldn't be someone who would save others, did he become shoushimin.

if he didn't save her, Osanai would take vengeance on him
Between truck-kun and Osanai he picked the safer choice

They would have been both hit if he didn't push Osanai.

Imagine if you have a chronic cock illness that requires you to wank off & unclog every 3 hours, but both your hands are disabled. WAT DO?!

Kobato has a catheter in

That escalated quickly

Hooked up to a prostate milking machine

Cinema

So instead of staying by his side and giving her bf a tongue bath, she runs off to hurt people again?

Would you punch him?

short-haired person could be the culprit

nurse is short-haired

It can't be this obvious. I really hope it's a red herring.

For someone who only gives a fuck when there's a mystery abound, Kengo behaves like a really good friend.

god damn it now I totally see it being the nurse

That's a different case

Who are they? His family? Hard to believe other students would visit him. If yes, where is the dad? We didn't see Osanai's dad either.

male protag has imouto

she's never mentioned

this should be illegal

Keep watching

Isn't it Japan thing where class representatives go visit or go to funerals. Or at least anime thing.

Homeroom teacher + iinchou pair

berserk

All I want is to go on a date with her on a sweet shop... Why can't this be real anons

Are college entrance exams so hard they can't even spare a couple of hours for this visit? They have been studying since summer ffs

Cute photo and based fellow raw watcher, but do you really watch anime in Windows' default media player? Don't you have to pay to watch .mkv files in that?

The point is that they don't care about Kobato.

You can try the director's previous stab at a mystery novel adaptation

Will Osanai flunk her exams just to stay together with Kobato for another year?

do you really watch anime in Windows' default media player

It's the shoushimin way

Extremely cute setup, I'm jealous

Same bro...

nice teacup grandma

Undead Girl Murder Farce is by the same studio. I wouldn't call it the same vibe exactly but it's worth checking out.

I won't criticize your choice in media players but that's some gay-ass keyboard man

That's a mpv addon to make the gui not shit. modernx is the name. I also recommend thumbfast for image previews.
Thanks
You wouldn't get my patrician taste in china. Osanai would though...

stops at "I'm here to give you a bed bath."

just as it's about to get hot, you ended it there.

There were also neither baskets of fruit nor flowers.

Kengo is a real one

recommending Undead Girl Fart

Don't. It's fucking stupid. Even the OP song is cancer.

OP song is cancer.

That I agree with

This bitch is always eating!

God I want her to gain 10 pounds

he was in the van

Kek

anon really stopped to put together 3 screenshots before even finishing the episode lol

If I was him I'd transfer schools and change my name.

In Japan, the legal age of majority is 20. For most things. I'm not sure about elective surgery though.

Catheter doesn't go up your asshole. He's shitting into diapers or a bed pan that his nurse has to clean several times a day.

The only way he can suffer more is by killing his family off and I think that's reserved for the driver

That's the cruel part, she had to go to school a long time to get that job.

He Columbo'd him

that's immediately what I was thinking too

I am seeing now why Kobato had a reputation for being a weirdo

I hadn't thought too much about the past incident, but rewatching the start of the episode and seeing the "this is what you deserve" onscreen made me think that Hisaka is going to turn out to be alive and be the one who hit Kobato, his motivation being the grudge from whatever happened in this past incident.

holy fucking spooky

That could be it too. Personally, I think Hisaka is dead and Kobato's refusal to accept it shows us how much it's rattled him (which we've never seen before). Either way, I think the anime wants us to think Hisaka faked it. However, after the last arc, I think it's smarter to assume the opposite of what we're told
Inb4 it's a masterstroke and those who make that assumption will be wrong

Kobato-kun, the traffic accident... it's not your fault. It's time to let go.

How do I get a cute evil girl to stalk me?

Looks like an ordinary asian auntie.

still would

Come to think of it they could even have the climax be Kobato confronting him, but them forgiving each other and Kobato letting him quietly get away with it rather than announcing the truth to the world and causing problems like he did in the past. Would also offer an opportunity for Osanai to have to overcome her need to get revenge in order to not ruin this for Kobato. Or we could have the heartfelt forgiveness happen only for him to get blindsided by Osanai sending him to prison, that could work too I guess.

The forehead is the strongest bone in the head and one of the strongest in the body, you can crack a windshield with it easily and feel absolutely nothing. When I was nine my mom slammed on the breaks and I flew forward smashing my forehead into our windshield and took zero damage and felt nothing.

where do you live that you think this isn't a proper sidewalk?

When I was nine my mom slammed on the breaks and I flew forward smashing my forehead into our windshield and took zero damage and felt nothing

j-jogoro is that you??

America? That wouldn't be considered a sidewalk in America, it's a bike lane. A proper sidewalk has a curb and is raised above the road's level by at least a couple inches. It's also not usually paved with asphalt, but concrete slabs.

TOO FAST TOO CURIOUS

I fainted and bashed my head into a piano and felt nothing from that too

yeah that enter key is disgusting

A proper sidewalk is a distinct construction, separate from the road, not merely a painted section of road. That is some third world shit. A real sidewalk needs a berm, curb, gutter, or some other barrier between it at the road. Of course, this means a real sidewalk is typically only built in areas where there is enough pedestrian traffic to warrant the investment.

Osanai is so fucking cute. How am I supposed to live knowing I'll never meet anyone half as cute as her?

You should be glad. The girl's a psycho!

Kobato reenacting Urino trying to kiss Osanai, but with a car.

Psycho girls are already real! They're just not cute like Osanai

I would seriously love to date Osanai. I don't think I could make her happy, but I'd love to date a brilliant girl. I'm a decently smart cookie, but It'd just be a joy to spend so much time around someone who is truly intelligent like that. Just talking to her would be so rewarding

but she'd manipulate you

Not really, because it's only manipulation if you don't want to do it. I'd happily go along with whatever scheme she has

But that's one of the reasons why I love her

I'll have no mercy

Holy shit that's so fucking hot!

KenGODS!
How much time left until the next Kengo Kino?

The beginning of the end

When do the autists kiss/fuck?

it's a bike lane

It's not even that. Just a road shoulder.

For some reason I immediately thought about this retarded meme, when I saw the last scene, lmao
Maybe a bit too low effort, but meh

Japan reduced the age of majority to 18 recently

*record scratch*

*freeze frame*

Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation...

According to the BD booklet, Osanai is 142 cm

you need to be 18 to post here

She should be even smaller

Looks like it's just drinking and smoking that's still restricted to age 20. A bit nonsensical, if you ask me. You can vote, enter contracts, be tried as an adult in criminal cases, but you can't smoke or drink?

kengo's sister never showed up again

Still mad.

Oh, anon, it would be pretty nice If I was 18 or below, but that's not the case for quite some time

time to start acting like it or fuck off till your brain grows past 13.

It's not going to lick itself

Lukewarm IQ post
There is meaning behind absolutely everything in this show

I want to drink Osanai's pee

That is truly a tough one as I cannot think of anything this well made that is so surreal and absurd while also being incredibly grounded and playing it straight
It is truly unique

Ah. I see we're going to power wank Osanai with revenge again this arc and be justified for it. Was hoping the author would do something interesting with knocking her down a peg. Oh well. Autism power fantasy time. Slop is slop.

tastes like diabetes

If finding stupid shitposting amusing makes me immature, so be it, life's not that serious, anon.

Unironically Kowloon Generic Romance from this season has a very similar "vibe" to this, although the fujoshit may be a turn-off.

surreal and absurd while also being incredibly grounded and playing it straight

Not anime but Haru to Bonkura is what sprang into my mind when I read your post. It's only 4 chapters

21

People aren't seriously looking at this adorable pout and thinking that Osanai was planning revenge in this moment are they?

Jogoro hasn't recovered from his cold

permanent

You know you can edit images?

questioning your classmate who just got an accident right after telling him that his career might be over

I can see why everyone dislike him.

NTA you're replying to but I just finished reading it. Thanks for the rec, it was a cute set of stories.

ED started playing

I swear I just started.
This episode made me want to read the book.

i dropped it at the very first minute
how the fuck does a room in kowloon have a ceiling that high and a room that spacious
immediate immersion killer

it's not the original kowloon

oh
guess ill give it a binge next season then

fujoshit

That's an understatement. Literal gay sex at a certain point.

I hope Urino is ok...

kek
