To be hero x

noooo you cant use powers to make money

you should use it to start a cult instead

what is the reasoning here?

W9BzYx[1].jpg - 1135x807, 45.49K

The cult was supposed to help desperate people for free instead of robbing them of their last savings.

Orphanage directory was objectively in the right, she can help so many people by not being selfish.

Achieveing godhood is the ultimate status of an "X" in this world but also something that must be avoided

Achieving godhood in that world would also revive the dead. Makes me wonder if anyone achieved this and why the Commission is so against it.

It could've spiraled even more from there, he had to nip it in the bud

hey Cyan, pin the nuclear subs in the ocean here and i'll give you a lollipop

It clearly shows by the end that the dude is obsessed with the idea of being a hero and 'helping people'. In that 5 years time skip after he complained about the money, he was already corrupted, even if what he wanted wasn't money itself.

Something like, becoming a God?

oh no, he wanted world peace and to solve peoples problems? soooo corrupt how dare him

i should have all the power in the world and become an omnipotent god so i can fix the world
i have good intentions, you have to trust me

People are really misunderstanding the Dean's motives here.

The point was that people were abusing Cyan on a personal level. He saw the good she could do but recognized that as long as she's just a girl they could approach, people would try to get at her.
By turning her into an anonymous religious figure, he removes that issue. Now her "blessings" can be given freely to the masses to make everyone happy while keeping her safe from others trying to approach her for underhanded means.
The issue is that this solution is just "remove her personhood". It's an answer that denies Cyan a chance to be anything herself, turning her just into an object of devotion. As such, the Dean misses how he's helping everyone else except for Cyan in the end. And now that she's trying to show some individuality, he's upset as he sees it as her disrupting this peace he's created.

This is the one setting where it'd be completely justified to Waco anyone doing something remotely cultlike. Enough people can be convinced you're the reincarnation of Jesus and you'll start walking on water and curing the blind. It must be nipped in the bud

new pv is up?

two 5 year timeskips mid episode

a little TOO fast, no?

Apparently, Crunchyroll translations completely removed the sentence regarding the dawn of fall incident being mentioned here. Queen says that it occured 28 years prior here, but CR chose a very generic and non-descriptive translation. How the fuck do you mess up this badly? That's pretty vital info they just skipped.

cruchyroll

good subs

pick one

Either lazy/retarded translators or complete AIslop

There's subs that are inaccurate, but then there's subs that miss out on the first explicit mention of a very important event by name and date. I can't see how one would miss this unless they used ai without inspection.
Grim.

Wtf is there any other subs I can watch, there is already alot of shit that is hard to pick up but if they make it so obvious context is removed we are going to get whiplashed by so much missing context.

99% of sub groups today just rip official crunchy subs. Very few if any people are actually doing subs themselves.

I know that BiliBili also has sub and is distributing for countries that crunchyroll does not distribute to. Are those subs any better or do they use the same CR subs?

and the guy still wears the same outfit

The animation was a huge downgrade also

Seemed fine to me.

At least the story quality is still the same it seems.

There was something seriously comedic about this scene, with all the stuffy religious types losing their minds over ROCK N' ROLL like Dirty Dancing or Sister Act. Was the full song even necessary or just a middle finger to the crowd? They probably had a better chance of getting away by just skating the fuck out, right?

I feel like it's the same 2D quality as it was in the arcs prior. It's just that the current setting's lighting is brighter compared to the dark backgrounds in E-soul's duel. So, the imperfections are more immediately noticeable.

The animation was fine except the fucking door. I can't get it out of my head. Goddammit, it bothers me! Why?!

Just give me the song she sings when Xia Qing is crying dammit that was just a bop

inb4 its the song she writes to mourn Luo's death

I asked last thread too, hope it pops up. I liked the

MY COLOR TO YOUR HEART

or whatever she said.

Forever salty that Nice (hottest one) got saddled with the 3D I mean come on. It better have not been a deliberate choice to make sure a corpse didn't top the rankings

Honestly at least 10K of the E Soul showdown views a mine trying to get that snippet on loop. Also the song she sings during the first part of their battle is still better than her main theme kek

I think the only problem for me was autotune for the first part was too heavy, which is weird since singer's voice is already beautiful and doesn't need it.

Its the

Let me pass my colour to your heart...someday I hope you feel it too

As it shows the 3 empty seats and Yang Cheng becoming fucking darth vader which does it for me

Anon, he's gay. Nice is the worst. Lin Ling however is incredibly based and heterosexual.

The heavy autotune actually fits in with the context of the two sci-fi toku heros duking it out though. Agree that on its own it'll be too much.

He's gay

Also show me the rule where I can't ogle eye candy because they're homos. If that's the case then yurifags will be in shambles.

does nice have different voice actor than commoner

Same VA in JP (natsuki hanae), different VAs in english I think

thanks

My theory is everyone who used her power will get a proportional amount of bad luck in return, in one go.
That's why the plane crashed, her parents were abusing her power.

natsuki hanae

They even got the homo va to voice him. What did they mean by this

Anon, he's gay

China would never allow that.

Tanjiro isn't gay!

Meant for But regardless, Tanjiro isn't gay! Neither is Okarun.

if that's what you need to believe to go to sleep at night

Tanjiro impregnated that autistic girl

While it's obviously far more censored, Li Haoling, TBHX's current director, has done various BL donghua in the past (ie. TGCF and Ling Qi). So it's not completely unreasonable to think that there's some homo implications going on.

Seeing how Cyan's an idol and all, I imagine she's going to have one song per episode, with that one being coming in the next 2 at some point then released to Youtube after the episode airs.

Hopefully it won't be autotuned like that song during her introduction.

Yeah Wreck was 10000% gay for Nice. Would not be surprised if it turns out to be mutual when we get OG Nice POV

Would not be surprised if it turns out to be mutual

The tenseness around Moon where Nice forced himself to clean everywhere he went in their apartment, thus having a very "clean image" in front of her VS his closeness in Wreck's apartment, bottles and clothes everywhere, plus the rainbow magnets, makes me think it was mutual and developed, but had to be kept secret.

the fact that he had to get a hired gf makes this 10000x more possible as well.

I just want to know what happened to Wreck after the reveal that Nice is dead.

The bad-luck boy is rather based. I hope he doesn't suffer a bad end just to give Cyan drama.
Unironic childhood friend kino. Let them win for once!

Didn't her PV imply that he was killed or something?

Obviously he survived because Cyan gave him luck. Cute and canon non-downer ending confirmed

The Dean is being kind of retarded.
Using force to stop your super lucky golden goose from escaping is bound to fail. Even if you succeed in stopping her, which you might, it could only result growing resentment.

What would he lose by letting Cyan fuck around town for a day? She is still an orphan and you're effectively her family.
Even if she could use her great luck to make it out there, she'd want to return before long anyway. It's her home after all. Of course, do dumb shit like using powers to push around her friends and to stop her from leaving and that might very well change.

I keep getting spoiled because of these damn PVs. Has happened for like half the episodes now.
The Anon Babble threads is usually a highlight for any anime original. But maybe it'd be best to avoid the threads after all.

They make quite a few (animated) fujo shows, probably even more than America or whatever other progressive nation. The only country that has them beat in that regard is Japan.

I'm more likely to believe he was killed in a similar fashion to Moon than to believe a happy relationship exists in the show. But, I do like your optimism, so I'm not gonna knock you down for that.

In the show, Nice was behind dumb heroes like Firm Man

In real life, Nice hasn't done anything but immediately kill himself and he's rank 3

The PVs were released a few months prior to the show. And thus far, they never get directly adapted to the show, yet are essential to piece together the storyline. Why in the world are you watching it without the PVs? There's less than half an hour worth of content overall, so it's not like it's a tedious chore to complete them.

Why in the world are you watching it without the PVs?

Because they're filled to the brim with needless spoilers and show way more than they should. Far too much.

Anon... it's a mystery show. Maybe not first and foremost, but it very much belongs to the "mystery" genre. You're supposed to piece together the clues left behind. They're not needless spoilers, because for the most part, they don't get adapted directly to the show. You have a fascinating approach to such a genre.

I find the PVs as more teasing than spoiling. So far, both Nice and E-Soul's PVs were misleading.
Nice's was completely false as it was an act done by the old Nice where he fought Wreck like a villain of the week and looked happy with Moon while Wreck seethed. Obviously with the context of what really was going on behind the scenes, the whole thing has a different light looking at it a second time.
E-Soul's PV was this huge lore teaser with Old E-Soul being painted as some heroic figure being attacked by a wicked shadow. This one wasn't outright wrong, but the truth is we followed a New E-Soul who was that very shadow and Old E-Soul's reminiscing clearly took place just before their big fight.

Lucky Cyan's preview is a bit more honest so far. She helps a younger version of herself (wearing the robe) find Luo before revealing it's herself and going off happily, only for her manager to walk up behind her and say "don't be silly, he's dead" and her to respond "yes, it's my fault cause I brought him misfortune."
We got the first half here, and now we gotta wonder what the implications of the second half are going to be. How did he die? Is he really dead dead or more that she thinks he's dead? Is she hoping to become X in some attempt to bring him back to life? Etc.

The poll is kind of biased just due to the fact we are still kind of early in. Lin Ling and X will probably remain at the top though.

NTA, I love the Snoopy faces she makes and the UWWWWAAAAAAHHHHH noises.

I kind of wonder if the running theme is going to be no romance ends well, at least at this point in the show.
Lin Ling got to see Moon shot right in front of him.
Yang Chang gave up on Xia Qing despite the fact that he hesitated to save Shang Chao due to jealously.
Cyan's PV already spoils that Luo is going to die at some point in her arc.
Maybe the latter half of the show will subvert it since the director didn't really confirm or deny that Xia Qing will return in the future which will likely tie back to Yang.

She's very adorable as a kid, love the little exaggerated animations they gave her. If this was the first arc, Anon Babble’s lolicon fanbase would be all over this show lmao

What's the supposed issue there?

Is she autistic?

Who was door?

Seems to be moreso shy than autistic, which makes sense given her environment and expectations as a god-like figure. It's not like she doesn't understand social cues and what's expected of her when she's performing for the cult.

there is a kid right there?? stop being autistic

He was pointing at closed door in one frame then it's opened in the next one, he's still in same position. Was it opened from outside? Is he a hero with pk?

doors can be automatic i don't get the annoyance

I want a hero like this

It's a classic wood door without sensors and also in China. It's not opening automatically.

have you ever left your house? Wood doors are super common to have installed and open automatically or via a button. I would expect china to have even more high tech versions

The Dean is doing that on purpose because he wants people to believe in HIM instead. He wants all the superpowers for himself.
As the 'face' of the religion, he gets all the sweet, sweet Facebook likes.

If you guys are liking this Cyan arc you should really play this kino NTR game called Azoth. The second part of the game is about a sex cult that does the same things that Dean's cult does. It's extremely similar and sheds some light on what's happening in this arc. If you don't like NTR (I don't) it's still worth it since the story is interesting and the main character turns into an anti-NTR vigilante like John Wick. Highly recommended.

If someone gets NTR'd they probably deserve it for being a wuss

anti-NTR vigilante

I want a hero like this

too bad her songs are boring
the mixing is all weird
the voice volume is too low

he means the entire game is girls getting fucked by chads and the main hero avenging the cuckies by killing the thugs
he doesnt get any himself

Are they gonna release the entire ost at some point? Really liked the song at this point between the autotune cyan and her said song

Guy who posted the game here, he does get some! After the girls die he cuts off their heads and keeps them in inventory. You can kill zombie women (bigger breasts are higher quality) and stick severed heads on their bodies to make zombie waifus that you can fuck in your home base. They even moan and talk to you like they're still alive while fucking since you're a schizo, so it's not just pounding meat. It's kino.

It a fun concept for a hero. Same as this
