[11:42:22 PM] Squee: Sick woman in a hospital bed, three guesses what Sayaka's wish is!

Quote:

 

[11:43:16 PM] Squee: This room is awfully colorful and patterned for a hospital
[11:43:21 PM] Squee: maybe that's just a Japanese thing
[11:43:33 PM] Squee: devoid of medical equipment, too
[11:44:14 PM] Boydgamesh: I think it's a shaft thing
[11:44:38 PM] Kyle: also a long-term children's ward thing, I'd imagine
[11:45:19 PM] Squee: Is that person a child? My guess was parent, but I can never tell with animu characters.
[11:45:46 PM] Kyle: assuming I'm not forgetting some other bedridden character
[11:45:46 PM] Chrono Ivan: Sayaka's wish is that when she dies, her skeleton fights sickass demons in skeleton hell
[11:45:52 PM] Kyle: yes, Kyousuke is a teenage boy
[11:46:09 PM] Squee: lol "rare CD" this song is on every other classical music CD
[11:46:14 PM] Squee: ... that's a boy?
[11:46:18 PM] Kyle: lel
[11:46:20 PM] Kyle: yes
[11:46:27 PM] Squee: [radio edit]in' traps
[11:46:32 PM] Chrono Ivan: maybe it's rare that she's using
[11:46:34 PM] Chrono Ivan: a [radio edit]ing CD
[11:46:38 PM] Chrono Ivan: in 201X

Quote:

 

[11:49:09 PM] Squee: still loling at the fact that I thought her boyfriend (who doesn't know she's a lesbian) was her mom
[11:49:47 PM] Kyle: just
[11:49:48 PM] Kyle: squee
[11:49:55 PM] Kyle: imagine him with beiber hair
[11:50:06 PM] Squee: oh god

[12:01:04 AM] Squee: kyubey you have no idea what subtlety is
[12:01:18 AM] Chrono Ivan: 'c'mon you stupid 14 year old [radio edit]s... dooo iiiit'
[12:01:19 AM] Squee: god damn it's no wonder you only recruit impressionable teenage girls
[12:01:20 AM] Doge the Wow-Crusher: YOU KNOW WHAT'S SUBTLE
[12:01:20 AM] Sadique: subtlety is for the weak
[12:01:22 AM] Doge the Wow-Crusher: ~ENTROPY~
[12:01:59 AM] Chrono Ivan: Kyubey could only be less subtle if he went up to Madoka and was like "hey Madoka let's do some mother[radio edit]ing drugs"
[12:02:40 AM] Squee: "hey kids you wanna buy some soul gems"
[12:03:15 AM] Chrono Ivan: "they give you magic powers"
[12:03:21 AM] Boydgamesh: he actually thinks about this and does this
[12:03:23 AM] Shawn Daigle: "all the cool kids are doing it"
[12:03:27 AM] Ras: "All you need to give me is your soul"

[12:05:21 AM] Squee: madoka your mom is a drunk and your dad is an enabler
[12:05:35 AM] Chrono Ivan: Madoka is so awesome she gets to live the american dream
[12:05:37 AM] Chrono Ivan: IN JAPAN
[12:05:49 AM] Squee: either that or there's ~backstory~ that needs expositing
[12:05:59 AM] Ras: lol
[12:06:00 AM] Chrono Ivan: she's a salarywoman
[12:06:03 AM] Chrono Ivan: if it's not obvious
[12:06:05 AM] Ras: He is such a mature adult
[12:06:18 AM] Chrono Ivan: get drunk because that's what you do
[12:06:27 AM] Chrono Ivan: in most bsns
[12:06:29 AM] Chrono Ivan: in japan
[12:06:34 AM] Sadique: DON'T WANT TO GET DRUNK AFTER WORK WITH THE BOSS?
[12:06:39 AM] Sadique: WHOOPS THERE GOES YOUR PROMOTION
[12:06:41 AM] Chrono Ivan: to be faiiir
[12:06:45 AM] Chrono Ivan: I've heard it happens a lot in the west
[12:06:50 AM] Chrono Ivan: it's just kept on the down low
[12:07:00 AM] Chrono Ivan: 'come to the strip club with us or your promotion is on the line'
[12:07:10 AM] Squee: Oh right, Japanese drinking culture
[12:07:12 AM] Squee: forgot about that

Quote:

 

[12:08:04 AM] Squee: Mami I love your design and theme song but you are a dumb shit
[12:08:17 AM] Squee: NECK ANGLES
[12:08:39 AM] Chrono Ivan: ha
[12:08:42 AM] Ras: Mami ;_;
[12:08:42 AM] Chrono Ivan: HAW
[12:08:45 AM] Chrono Ivan: foreshadowing
[12:08:50 AM] Kyle: SHAFT TILT
[12:09:01 AM] Chrono Ivan: everyone in shaft series can do it
[12:09:06 AM] Chrono Ivan: even madoka
[12:09:09 AM] Chrono Ivan: she should do it one day
[12:09:14 AM] Chrono Ivan: to freak everyone the hell out
[12:09:24 AM] Shawn Daigle: the first thing you learn as a shaft character is how to tilt

[12:13:19 AM] Squee: Uh-oh, Sayaka doesn't have her bat
[12:13:24 AM] Squee: YA DUN GOOFED

Quote:

 

[12:14:48 AM] Squee: "take your time getting here SO I CAN STEAL SAYAKA'S SOUL"
[12:14:54 AM] Squee: I keep accidentally typing "souls"
[12:14:59 AM] Squee: I know what I've been playing too much of
[12:15:06 AM] Sadique: MEGUCA SOULS

Quote:

 

[12:17:36 AM] Squee: wow mami wtg
[12:17:44 AM] Squee: you keep digging yourself deeper and deeper
[12:17:59 AM] Squee: "let's just tie up the only person who can help me if things go south"
[12:18:14 AM] Kyle: or the person who might make things go south
[12:18:17 AM] Aaron: ^
[12:18:18 AM] Boydgamesh: bondage is Homura's only weakness
[12:18:29 AM] Kyle: local girl ruins everything, etc
[12:19:50 AM] Squee: yeah, I guess to be fair Homura hasn't exactly made a point of being friendly

Quote:

 

[12:22:47 AM] Squee: wow mami is being surprisingly self-aware now

Quote:

 

[12:24:47 AM] Squee: no no I'm not paying attention to the chat
[12:24:50 AM] Kyle: rude
[12:24:53 AM] Squee: as cool as talking about cuttlefish missiles would be
[12:25:18 AM] Squee: it just seems rather incongruous with what we've seen of her so far
[12:25:57 AM] Kyle: that's kinda the point, yeah
[12:26:08 AM] Squee: okay now she's just laying it on real thick and that kind of ruined it
[12:27:13 AM] Squee: MAYBE IF YOU DIDN'T WASTE ALL THIS TIME DOING CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT YOU'D GET THERE BEFORE SAYAKA CAN MAKE HER WISH
[12:27:14 AM] Squee: GOD
[12:27:58 AM] Squee: at least that's what I'm predicting will happen, aside from the obvious bit that I already know is coming in this episode

Quote:

 

[12:29:16 AM] Squee: aaaaaaand they make an "after this battle we'll get crunk" agreement and that seals her fate
Kyle waves all the flags
[12:29:59 AM] Aaron: when I watched this, I didn't know what kind of show madoka was
[12:30:09 AM] Chrono Ivan: and then you knew
[12:30:11 AM] Kyle: I did
[12:30:15 AM] Kyle: thanks sboxbama
[12:30:17 AM] Chrono Ivan: I knew too
[12:30:19 AM] Aaron: then I thought I knew
[12:30:20 AM] Chrono Ivan: thanks internet
[12:30:28 AM] Aaron: I knew the end of ep 8 twist
[12:30:30 AM] Chrono Ivan: poor squee
[12:30:35 AM] Aaron: but that's what drew me into it in the first place,s o
[12:30:37 AM] Chrono Ivan: he knows all

Quote:

 

[12:35:24 AM] Squee: "well this is a pathetic-looking witch, this can't possibly be a red herring"
[12:35:53 AM] Aaron: I think you mean
[12:35:58 AM] Aaron: thisisbait.jpg
[12:36:25 AM] Squee: and there it goes
[12:36:32 AM] Sadique: BEST GIRL WINS
[12:36:33 AM] Squee: wow just stand there like a dumb [radio edit]
[12:36:46 AM] Squee: holy shit
[12:37:48 AM] Squee: obviously Mami's real power is the power to have incredibly iconsistent capabilities
[12:37:57 AM] Chrono Ivan: like superman
[12:38:28 AM] Squee: ranging from the ability to pull guns out of nowhere and destroy everything utterly, the lack of ability to use her legs
[12:38:28 AM] Chrono Ivan: Oscillation girl! Varying between Roosevelt-like competence and bushlike ineptitude.
[12:38:42 AM] Squee: god that was the most stupid, arbitrary death I've seen in a long time
[12:38:43 AM] Chrono Ivan: "which one are you now?"
"uhhh..."
[12:39:05 AM] Kyle: yeah, her death was handled pretty lamely
[12:39:15 AM] Kyle: SUPER EXPERIENCED COMBAT VETERAN
[12:39:29 AM] Kyle: stunned by something unexpected happening during a fight

Quote:

 

[12:40:47 AM] Squee: this witch is a total chump, holy shit
[12:41:06 AM | Edited 12:41:12 AM] Squee: if I didn't have a deal with satty I'd probably drop this right now just because of how bullshit that death was
[12:41:16 AM] Aaron: rofl
[12:41:20 AM] Boydgamesh: rip squee
[12:41:26 AM] Aaron: I always took it as a bullettime moment
[12:41:35 AM] Squee: they didn't even try
[12:41:37 AM] Aaron: and that it basically was too fast to react
[12:42:01 AM] Squee: She clearly was reacting though, you can see her face registering "oh shit"
[12:42:09 AM | Edited 12:42:13 AM] Squee: UGH
[12:42:23 AM] Shawn Daigle: yeah, it's supposed to be slow-mo, not to mention it's tough to react in a situation like that
[12:42:33 AM] Chrono Ivan: maybe squee should have watched the movies
[12:42:35 AM] Chrono Ivan: >>
[12:43:10 AM] Kyle: not when you're touted as such an experienced veteran as Mami, it's not
[12:43:29 AM] Aaron: yeah, a face reaction is different from being able to do something. reaction time is what, 2.4 seconds?
[12:43:40 AM] Kyle: ...what
[12:43:44 AM] Kyle: no
[12:43:48 AM] Aaron: or .24 seconds?
[12:43:51 AM] Kyle: reaction time is about- yeah
[12:44:02 AM] Aaron: muh decimals
[12:44:25 AM] Aaron: but yeah, distraction and overconfidence, gg mami
[12:44:25 AM] Kyle: reflex is even faster, IIRC
[12:44:28 AM] Squee: no it's not, I've been fighting for all of a year and that was too long a time to even be measured in terms of reaction
[12:44:28 AM] Shawn Daigle: still probably would've left her in a state of shock since she let her confidence get the best of her there
[12:44:36 AM] Ras: is it because shes more expirenced >>?
[12:44:45 AM] Ras: Only thing I could think of
[12:44:46 AM] Squee: no
[12:44:50 AM] Squee: experience does not do that
[12:45:01 AM] Kyle: so Mami has literally never been surprised in a fight before by these batshit crazy witches?
[12:45:02 AM] Squee: wow why am I so salty about this
[12:45:30 AM] Kyle: if Mami went into a state of shock from being surprised, she'd have died a month after contracting
[12:45:31 AM] Sadique: Because the hype train is failing to stay on its tracks
[12:45:32 AM] Aaron: because ~realism~ over dramatic effect
[12:45:38 AM] Aaron: and that
[12:45:58 AM] Kyle: dramatic effect is dumb unless you handle it properly, though
[12:46:14 AM] Chrono Ivan: this is the only really
[12:46:16 AM] Chrono Ivan: debated thing
[12:46:28 AM] Shawn Daigle: well, has she ever had one she thought she killed attack her like that?
[12:46:35 AM] Chrono Ivan: and general consensus is the series either failed to show this witch oneshotting mami in 0.4 seconds properly
[12:46:45 AM] Chrono Ivan: or else Mami is inept
[12:46:58 AM] Chrono Ivan: either way
[12:47:06 AM] Kyle: why the hell would "oh I killed this thing" "oh maybe not" be such a horrifying concept that she's stunned into shock by it?
[12:47:07 AM] Sadique: (I find the latter somewhat less plausible by default, all things considered, personally)
[12:47:07 AM] Boydgamesh: it's canon that she'd have beat the witch if she was paying attention so she's not supposed to be inept at the very least
[12:47:18 AM] Aaron: yeah, I think they emphasize that properly prepared Mami is tough, but she's not that psychologically reselient when her guard's down
[12:48:03 AM] Shawn Daigle: maybe not normally but when she was trying to show off and in general being overconfident it's not that much of a stretch
[12:48:16 AM] Kyle: it
kind of is, yes
[12:48:27 AM] Aaron: you think it is
[12:48:29 AM] Aaron: I think it isn't
[12:48:43 AM] Aaron: there's no objective answer here and there's arguments for both sides
[12:48:46 AM] Aaron: like Chrono said
[12:48:55 AM] Boydgamesh: (squee what have you done)
[12:48:58 AM] Shawn Daigle: it's not like there's that much time passing in that moment
[12:49:12 AM] Chrono Ivan: My general observation was that they were GOING for a slow-mo 'oh shiii-' like western movies do when this sort of mentor archetype dies
[12:49:20 AM] Kyle: it's not like Mami's reaction time is [radio edit]ing phenominal
[12:49:29 AM] Chrono Ivan: but shaft doesn't know how to do slow motion animation
[12:49:33 AM] Kyle: like when she gun katas all the familiars
[12:49:39 AM] Kyle: with perfect precision
[12:50:09 AM] Aaron: I think the reasons for why she died are pretty well-supported for reasons of bullet time; a fragile psyche being unguarded at that moment, overconfident, and show-offing; plus something she never encountered before that we ever see in any material
[12:50:23 AM] Kyle: but no, one of the most defining features of an experienced fighter is the ability to respond to a changing situation
[12:50:34 AM] Aaron: yeah, but no one's perfect
[12:50:38 AM] Kyle: particularly in acid trip realms like the labyrinths
[12:50:40 AM] Aaron: I don't see why a mistake is so hard to accept =P
[12:50:54 AM] Kyle: because what they didn't show was a mistake
[12:51:00 AM] Kyle: they basically showed her freezing
[12:51:04 AM] Kyle: which doesn't make sense
[12:51:07 AM] Shawn Daigle: still, she's a 14/15 year old, not a legit veteran that's been fighting for years
[12:51:19 AM] Chrono Ivan: because they didn't show a mistake, they showed a random massive drop in competence and SAID it was a mistake after the fact
[12:51:30 AM] Kyle: had they shown Charlotte doing a trap where the worm-form gets her from behind or something, that would make more sense
[12:51:41 AM] Kyle: and showcase a lack of attention/distraction much, much better
[12:51:44 AM] Chrono Ivan: or just do the slow mo
[12:51:46 AM] Chrono Ivan: like they were trying to
[12:51:54 AM] Kyle: yeah, or actually show slo-mo
[12:52:15 AM] Kyle: not "omg I literally cannot conceive this happening right now"
[12:52:42 AM] Squee: jesus I wanted to respond but copy/pasting game too weak
[12:52:48 AM] Doge the Wow-Crusher: every dumb thing can be explained away by "she's only 14/15"
[12:53:00 AM] Doge the Wow-Crusher: obviously
[12:53:05 AM] Boydgamesh: rofl
[12:53:10 AM] Squee: yeah you don't get to pull the age card when she's written in the story as being super competent
[12:53:17 AM] Squee: in spite of her age
[12:53:18 AM] Sadique: "local girl ruined everything"
"she's only 14 god"
[12:53:22 AM] Doge the Wow-Crusher: muh aces

[12:53:57 AM] Chrono Ivan: in the game of megucas you win or you die
[12:54:06 AM] Sadique: The only winning move
[12:54:09 AM] Sadique: Is HUEHUEHUEHUE

Quote:

 

[1:12:16 AM] Squee: lololololol "I'm such a bad girl," sayaka you are not in a porno, stop that
[1:14:11 AM] Squee: So I guess this marks the point where Sayaka stops being cool and becomes an angstlord

[1:24:15 AM] Squee: and now homura gets yandere
[1:24:23 AM | Edited 1:24:25 AM] Squee: "I won't let anybody [who blames you] exist"

[1:28:07 AM] Squee: more SHAFT TILT
[1:28:18 AM] Chrono Ivan: it's
[1:28:19 AM] Squee: jesus homura stop doing that, it can't be good for your spine

[1:31:35 AM] Squee: wow kyosuke you're kind of an asshole
[1:31:41 AM] Squee: everybody in this is either a bleeding heart or an asshole

[1:34:43 AM | Edited 1:34:45 AM] Squee: are
[1:35:09 AM] Squee: are we supposed to believe that this witch stuff is a thing that's happening in the real world and nobody notices it's caused by witches because magic
[1:35:19 AM] Squee: because dozens of shuffling zombies seems pretty conspicuous to me
[1:36:45 AM] Squee: this is the dumbest mass suicide ever
[1:37:05 AM] Chrono Ivan: http://i.imgur.com/eNRWzOh.gif
[1:37:44 AM] Squee: I'm sure there's a photoshop of that somewhere with him saying "witches"
[1:40:14 AM] Chrono Ivan: http://imgur.com/6Z41K78
[1:40:17 AM] Chrono Ivan: there is now

Quote:

 

[1:41:56 AM] Squee: And here's Sayaka to save the day, let's see if her powers are any more consistent than Mami's.
[1:43:10 AM] Squee: HOMURA STANDING SILHOUETTED AGAINST THE MOON FOR NO REASON
[1:43:28 AM] Boydgamesh: you'll never understand her torment
[1:45:06 AM] Squee: and we have the introduction of Jenna With Teeth
[1:45:28 AM] Squee: it's like this show can't decide whether to be a deconstruction or to play everything straight

Quote:

 

[1:09:29 AM] Squee: Anyway, here we have Sayaka making her wish in a conveniently empty courtyard
[1:09:31 AM] Squee: or something
[1:09:39 AM] Squee: it's empty and has a fence, and that's what's important
[1:09:51 AM] Squee: when suddenly, bad touch kyubey
[1:10:06 AM] Squee: "why don't you have a seat over there"

Quote:

 

[1:13:55 AM] Squee: Irrelevant green haired friend is tired, probably because she was up late last night with her suicide cult.
[1:15:13 AM] Squee: "an episode of sleepwalking"
[1:15:15 AM] Squee: damn girl
[1:15:25 AM] Squee: that's night terrors-tier sleepwalking
[1:15:32 AM] Squee: and on a mass scale
[1:15:34 AM] Shawn Daigle: they always say sleepwalking is dangerous
[1:15:44 AM] Squee: true story, I have a friend with night terrors
[1:15:46 AM] Squee: a grown man
[1:15:51 AM] Shawn Daigle: never sleepwalk in groups obvs
[1:15:55 AM] Squee: who once had an episode so bad he ran through a sliding glass door
[1:16:03 AM] Shawn Daigle: you might accidentally mix dangerous chemicals together
[1:16:07 AM] Squee: has scars all over half his face now
[1:16:19 AM] Shawn Daigle: holy shit, that's brutal
[1:17:14 AM] Squee: it was pretty terrifying at the time, yeah
[1:17:25 AM] Squee: it's been long enough that we've gotten over it, though
[1:17:34 AM] Squee: now it's just "hey this guy has badass scars"
[1:17:42 AM] Shawn Daigle: I've always heard night terrors are dangerous but I didn't think stuff like that could happen

Quote:

 

[1:19:24 AM] Squee: The hillside by a river!
[1:19:40 AM] Squee: I'm pretty sure it's a rule that literally every anime taking place in Japan has to have a scene here at some point.
[1:19:54 AM] Kyle: (there may be a reason for that)
[1:22:01 AM] Shawn Daigle: I bet it's still not as common as school classrooms
[1:22:27 AM] Squee: Well yeah, but it's an anime about schoolgirls, of course there's going to be classrooms

[1:35:06 AM] Squee: ... why do I have ads for stool softener right next to my video player
[1:35:27 AM] Skylin: Um...
[1:35:33 AM] Skylin: They know watching Madoka makes you constipated?
[1:35:41 AM] Boydgamesh: because you're in a chat full of butthurt
[1:35:42 AM] Slimegunk: all that butt mad
[1:35:44 AM] Slimegunk: XD

[1:37:43 AM] Squee: woah, that's a high-tech elevator
[1:37:47 AM] Squee: I'm legitimately jealous
[1:40:42 AM] Shawn Daigle: Madoka has so much high tech stuff
[1:41:07 AM] Squee: kyouko are you eating a [radio edit]ing waffle plain
[1:41:10 AM] Squee: what the fuc
[1:41:13 AM] Squee: k
[1:41:15 AM] Squee: what is your damage
[1:41:25 AM] Shawn Daigle: and it's never really shown in detail, always just like "yeah whatever, we have this technology
[1:41:27 AM] Sadique: She is the magical girl
[1:41:29 AM] Sadique: Of eating everything.
[1:41:38 AM] Shawn Daigle: that's how a real woman eats

Quote:

 

[1:42:08 AM] Squee: SHAFT TILT
[1:42:16 AM] Boydgamesh: daily reminder that one of the madoka mangos places the series as taking place in 2012 (or whenever it aired)
[1:42:29 AM] Squee: I'd make a drinking game out of spotting shaft tilts if I wasn't already drinking anyway
[1:42:39 AM] Boydgamesh: that's a good way to suicide
[1:42:47 AM] Squee: "one of" the mangas?
[1:42:56 AM] Boydgamesh: there's a few
[1:42:58 AM] Shawn Daigle: wow, I call bullshit
[1:43:13 AM] Sadique: Three, off the top of my head, maybe more. Kazumi, Oriko, Different Story.
[1:43:24 AM] Sadique: ...oh, and the actual manga adaptation.
[1:43:29 AM] Boydgamesh: Yeah
[1:43:31 AM] Sadique: Four it is, then!
[1:43:35 AM] Shawn Daigle: and Rebellion has an adaptation
[1:43:35 AM] Sadique: (and maybe more)
[1:43:36 AM] Squee: wow
[1:43:42 AM] Squee: that's more mangoes than evangelion
[1:44:01 AM] Shawn Daigle: and the Rebellion adaptation has the same amount of volumes as the original series
[1:44:03 AM] Boydgamesh: though Kazumi is just same setting with different cast (though Mami and Kyouko cameo)

Quote:

 

[1:45:53 AM] Shawn Daigle: mango isn't bad
[1:46:08 AM] Shawn Daigle: anyone actually read the manga of the original series for Madoka?
[1:46:40 AM] Boydgamesh: you mean the manga adaptation of the show?
[1:46:45 AM | Edited 1:46:50 AM] Squee: no
[1:46:51 AM] Boydgamesh: it's p much just the same as the show, so you don't have to read it
[1:46:52 AM] Shawn Daigle: yeah, I saw it for right cheap but I heard it's p bad
[1:46:54 AM] Squee: because I'm not a nerd
[1:47:03 AM] Boydgamesh: it moves a bit faster, that's about it
[1:47:33 AM] Squee: I'm hearing a lot of talk over here Kyouko, you gonna do something about it?
[1:47:38 AM] Boydgamesh: other than the ending which is like
[1:47:43 AM] Boydgamesh: Boydgamesh slides to a new window
[1:47:44 AM] Shawn Daigle: I heard something about Homura's characterization being screwed with mostly with the manga
[1:47:52 AM] Shawn Daigle: somethingsomething Homura is now yandere

[2:35:38 AM] Kyle: tbf
[2:35:54 AM] Kyle: anime is hardly the only medium that has dumb sword fights
[2:36:34 AM] Chrono Ivan: the spear is magic, your argument is invalid

[11:39:30 PM] Kyle: Kyouko's emotions are stable
[11:39:50 PM] Kyle: so she doesn't have to worry about those influencing her soul gem on top of her magic
[11:39:59 PM] Squee: so basically being a sociopath is advantageous
[11:40:01 PM] Kyle: which means she can let loose with magic more, I guess

[11:40:44 PM] Kyle: really, in a lot of survival situations involving other people, being a sociopath is advantageous
[11:41:13 PM] Squee: Well yes, but this is a deliberately established system

[12:32:44 AM] Shawn Daigle: just because
[12:32:49 AM] Shawn Daigle: just because, Squee
[12:32:54 AM] Squee: why is this wasted on a series that's not sci-fi
[12:33:13 AM] Boydgamesh: shaft
[12:33:22 AM] Shawn Daigle: it's probably since Urobutcher is into sci-fi stuff I believe
[12:33:28 AM] Shawn Daigle: Shaft is more just weird shit
[12:33:32 AM] Boydgamesh: he is but I'm blaming Shaft
[12:33:52 AM] Shawn Daigle: If Shaft was in charge of it, they'd make her keyboard speak to her or something
[12:34:18 AM] Boydgamesh: there is no way Urobuchi said "guys btw don't forget to make the school entirely out of glass and have all these trippy buildings"
[12:34:35 AM] Boydgamesh: I mean I guess he WOULD
[12:34:37 AM | Edited 12:34:49 AM] Boydgamesh: but that seems shafty
[12:34:46 AM] Kyle: this shit exists tho
[12:35:15 AM] Squee: not in a working-class household :U
[12:35:24 AM] Kyle: it's
japan
[12:35:29 AM] Kyle: land of the high-tech
[12:35:43 AM] Shawn Daigle: [12:35 AM] Boydgamesh:

<<< there is no way Urobuchi said "guys btw don't forget to make the school entirely out of glass and have all these trippy buildings"
I mean I guess he WOULD
but that seems shafty
he definitely proposed that, and then they were like, yeah, sounds cool
[12:35:44 AM] Boydgamesh: their house is handwaved by Madoka's mom knowing somebody in the business so they got deals or something
[12:35:49 AM] Squee: [12:35 AM] Squee:

<<< not in a working-class household :U
[12:35:49 AM] Boydgamesh: this obviously never comes up in the show
[12:36:07 AM] Boydgamesh: well squee
[12:36:14 AM] Boydgamesh: when the school is already sci-fi level in 2012
[12:36:24 AM] Boydgamesh: I think the stuff in Madoka's house can be middle class
[12:36:43 AM] Squee: not explained in the show itself, doesn't exist
[12:36:49 AM] Squee: death of the author, bitch
[12:36:55 AM] Shawn Daigle: http://animebot.everyboty.net/pix/620.jpg
[12:37:02 AM] Doge the Wow-Crusher: okay saturos
[12:37:02 AM] Boydgamesh: wow okay saturos
[12:37:31 AM] Shawn Daigle: look at Squee, getting all snappy
[12:37:39 AM] Sadique: So what you're saying, Squee
[12:37:44 AM] Sadique: Is you want to kill Urobuchi.
[12:37:44 AM] Squee: I'm mocking saturos you rubes :U
[12:37:55 AM] Shawn Daigle: in mocking him, you're becoming him
[12:38:08 AM] Squee: [radio edit]
[12:38:10 AM] Squee: the abyss stares back
[12:38:11 AM] Shawn Daigle: soon, you'll spend your nights watching Prisma Ilya over and over again
[12:38:23 AM] Squee: don't you even [radio edit]ing go there
[12:38:25 AM] Shawn Daigle: drool dripping down onto your keyboard
[12:38:27 AM] Squee: I'll fight your ass
[12:38:29 AM] Hinoa: eh, better Saturos than Silvy.
[12:38:39 AM] Squee: me
[12:38:41 AM] Squee: your ass
[12:38:43 AM] Squee: tonight

[12:38:55 AM] Kyle: wow
[12:38:56 AM] Shawn Daigle: bring it
[12:38:58 AM] Boydgamesh: and thus
[12:39:02 AM] Shawn Daigle: Dark Souls 2, right now
[12:39:06 AM] Boydgamesh: squee dropped to the suspicious level
[12:39:07 AM] Kyle: squee wants to get 1 on 1 with Silvy's ass
[12:39:09 AM] *** Squee has been promoted to conversation host. ***

[12:39:26 AM] Squee: such power
[12:39:27 AM] Doge the Wow-Crusher: omg

[12:39:31 AM] Shawn Daigle: you
[12:39:32 AM] Shawn Daigle: what
[12:39:33 AM] Kyle: UNLIMITED POWAAAAA
[12:39:34 AM] Shawn Daigle: have you done
[12:39:39 AM] Doge the Wow-Crusher: r e k t
[12:39:41 AM] Kyle: do it squee
[12:39:43 AM] Kyle: DO IT
[12:39:46 AM] Sadique: The age of realism comes.
[12:39:46 AM] Boydgamesh: put an end to this
[12:39:57 AM] Kyle: STRIKE HIM DOWN
[12:40:00 AM] Squee: Even if you say that...
[12:40:06 AM] Kyle: AND YOU WILL BECOME MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE
[12:40:19 AM] Shawn Daigle: don't listen to them, Squee
[12:40:21 AM] Squee: ... You can't just kick somebody for being weak!
[12:40:21 AM] Doge the Wow-Crusher: [12:40 AM] Squee:

<<< Even if you say that...
It can't be helped
[12:40:25 AM] Doge the Wow-Crusher: What are you waiting for?
[12:40:28 AM] Boydgamesh: kick peytral too
[12:40:34 AM] Shawn Daigle: you know what they said about peer pressure back in the day
[12:40:37 AM] Kyle: no, you can kick people for being suspicious though
[12:40:46 AM] Squee: That's the sort of thing that leads to eating waffles plain!
[12:40:57 AM] Shawn Daigle: wouldn't he have to kick himself then?
[12:41:02 AM] Sadique: So you'd rather be
[12:41:02 AM] Sadique: So you'd rather be
[12:41:11 AM] Sadique: Squeeyaka Miki than Squeekura Kyouko
[12:41:27 AM] Boydgamesh: kick lachesis too
[12:41:29 AM] Squee: I have evolved beyond the petty jibes and jests of lesser mortals
[12:41:34 AM] Kyle: why not Squeemura Akemi?
[12:41:36 AM] Sadique: You just hate puns, Boyd.
[12:41:42 AM] Sadique: Your opinion is invalid there.
[12:41:44 AM] *** Squee removed Kyle from this conversation. ***
[12:41:49 AM] Boydgamesh: yessssssssssssssssss
[12:41:52 AM] Hinoa: He learns quickly
[12:41:56 AM] Chrono Ivan: Wonderful! Simply wonderful!
[12:42:06 AM] Doge the Wow-Crusher: Doge the Wow-Crusher claps
[12:42:10 AM] *** Squee added Kyle ***
[12:42:11 AM] Chrono Ivan: http://animebot.everyboty.net/pix/620.jpg in this previously linked, I can't actually spot the main character.
[12:42:14 AM] Kyle: WOW
[12:42:17 AM] Squee: let that be your warning
[12:42:20 AM] Chrono Ivan: I would think it's miss 'sitting in the front'
[12:42:25 AM] Kyle: clearly
[12:42:30 AM] Kyle: Hinoa didn't brief you on this
[12:42:33 AM] Chrono Ivan: Hinoa has tought you well

where's Madoka?
[12:42:49 AM] Shawn Daigle: the new game
[12:43:04 AM] Sadique: Fourth from left, second to back.
[12:43:14 AM] Sadique: Waldo she is not.

[12:50:43 AM] Squee: oh wow madoka
[12:50:45 AM] Squee: you [radio edit]ed up
[12:50:49 AM] Squee: you [radio edit]ed uuuuuuup
[12:51:13 AM] Ras: which episode squee?
[12:51:23 AM] Squee: 6
[12:51:26 AM] Boydgamesh: guessing it was throwing Sayaka's gem
[12:51:29 AM] Squee: over the bridge goes the soul gem
[12:52:03 AM] Squee: homura what are you doing, you can rewind time or some shit, why are you running after the truck
[12:52:25 AM] Chrono Ivan: if she rewound time it would break suspension of disbelief that she magically
[12:52:27 AM] Boydgamesh: she is using her time powers
[12:52:31 AM] Chrono Ivan: solved the problem
[12:52:35 AM] Boydgamesh: but since the show didn't reveal she has those powers yet it's showing it that way
[12:52:35 AM] Chrono Ivan: before it becaome a problem
[12:52:39 AM] Chrono Ivan: look the story demands
[12:52:42 AM] Chrono Ivan: that we find this out
[12:52:44 AM] Chrono Ivan: shut up
[12:52:48 AM] Chrono Ivan: that's why
[12:52:53 AM] Boydgamesh: oh right
[12:53:00 AM] Boydgamesh: and she doesn't want Kyubey to know she has time powers
[12:53:05 AM] Boydgamesh: so she's just using it in short bursts
[12:53:55 AM] Squee: wat
[12:54:05 AM] Squee: how does the creature who gave her her powers not know what her powers are
[12:54:11 AM] Kyle: magic
[12:54:16 AM] Kyle: watch the [radio edit]ing show
[12:54:42 AM] Ras: keep watching
[12:54:53 AM] Squee: well excuuuuuuuse me for expecting some consistency in the way they present their magic
you're trying to apply knowledge you don't have yet
[12:55:12 AM] Kyle: you're trying to apply knowledge you don't have yet
[12:55:14 AM] Boydgamesh: it's okay squee this part actually makes sense
[12:55:17 AM] Boydgamesh: and I wasn't aware you didn't know that spoiler
[12:55:18 AM] Boydgamesh: lol
[12:55:20 AM | Edited 12:55:26 AM] Boydgamesh: my bad

[12:57:12 AM] Squee: I guess this is where Kyouko starts becoming less of an antagonist, at least

[1:01:15 AM] Kyle: no

[1:29:58 AM] Squee: no back support at all

[1:35:01 AM] Squee: It occurs to me
[1:35:15 AM] Squee: isn't Kyouko basically homeless, with no source of income, like Mami?
[1:35:21 AM] Squee: How does she afford all this food?
[1:35:24 AM] Boydgamesh: she steals it
[1:35:26 AM] Kyle: wut
[1:35:29 AM] Kyle: Mami has a home
[1:35:40 AM] Boydgamesh: think he meant the "no source of income" part with Mami
[1:35:42 AM] Kyle: and (theoretically) a huge inheritance
[1:35:47 AM] Boydgamesh: she has that, but she doesn't work
[1:35:49 AM] Kyle: oh
[1:35:55 AM] Squee: I was referring to the "no source of income" for Mami
[1:35:59 AM] Squee: yeah
[1:36:24 AM] Kyle: better question to ask yourself
[1:36:33 AM] Kyle: where the [radio edit] are Homura's parents?
[1:36:47 AM] Sadique: nom
[1:36:47 AM] Squee: anyway if Kyouko stole that much, why is nobody looking for her?
[1:36:49 AM] Kyle: (spoilers they're literally never even mentioned)
[1:37:17 AM] Squee: I figure she probably reset the timeline so many times that she ended up in a universe where her parents have the local version of her safe and sound
[1:37:34 AM] Boydgamesh: well once you see her backstory
[1:37:49 AM] Boydgamesh: the abscence of parents is really [radio edit]ing weird unless we're supposed to assume they're dead or they abandoned her
[1:38:12 AM] Boydgamesh: at least they mention Sayaka's mom
[1:38:17 AM] Kyle: also her house is weird as [radio edit]
[1:38:22 AM] Kyle: like
[1:38:28 AM] Boydgamesh: it's true, Homura's house is Shaft
[1:38:31 AM] Kyle: wtf is up with that giant shadowy pendulum of doom
[1:38:47 AM] Sadique: I don't know about her /main/ town, but Kyouko is explicitly not from Mitakihara. It's conceivable that even if people would start looking, she hasn't been looting there long enough for it to really start.
[1:39:13 AM] Kyle: that is true, she's only been in Mitakihara for...idk, less than a month
[1:38:47 AM] Sadique: I don't know about her /main/ town, but Kyouko is explicitly not from Mitakihara. It's conceivable that even if people would start looking, she hasn't been looting there long enough for it to really start.
[1:39:13 AM] Kyle: that is true, she's only been in Mitakihara for...idk, less than a month
[1:39:22 AM] Chrono Ivan: not to mention she's magic
[1:39:30 AM] Squee: That makes sense, yeah
[1:39:32 AM] Kyle: Kyle wiggles fingers
[1:39:32 AM] Sadique: Probably at least as much of a factor as anything.
[1:39:33 AM] Sadique: ~MAGIC~
[1:39:36 AM] Squee: not the magic part though
[1:39:36 AM] Sadique: beatrice.png
[1:39:40 AM] Kyle: actually
[1:39:46 AM] Kyle: the magic part WOULD make sense
[1:39:49 AM] Squee: even if she's using magic to avoid being noticed, somebody would notice shit missing
[1:39:59 AM] Kyle: if it worked
[1:40:00 AM] Boydgamesh: well
[1:40:11 AM] Boydgamesh: we don't see any adults in the show period besides Madoka's parents and the teacher
[1:40:18 AM] Squee: if she's using magic to cover up the missing stuff, others would notice the people under its effect acting differently
[1:40:20 AM] Boydgamesh: so if people WERE looking the show would've ignored it anyway
[1:40:26 AM] Kyle: yes but
[1:40:36 AM] Kyle: why would they be after her because stuff goes missing
[1:40:47 AM] Kyle: they would have to actually know she was the one taking it
[1:40:50 AM] Boydgamesh: also yeah squee remember
[1:41:02 AM] Boydgamesh: the witch stuff goes unnoticed
[1:41:14 AM] Squee: maybe not her specifically, but there would be something going around about heightened theft
[1:41:17 AM] Boydgamesh: these people certainly aren't sleuths
[1:41:32 AM] Kyle: "Someone in Mitakihara is stealing apples!"
[1:41:36 AM] Kyle: "More at 11"
[1:41:59 AM] Kyle: it's pretty low-end theft
[1:42:07 AM] Squee: more like "A shit-ton of various foods, most of it snack foods, is going missing"
[1:42:08 AM] Boydgamesh: well we see her in a hotel room at some point
[1:42:12 AM] Kyle: particularly if she's grabbing fruit and small stuff from markets
[1:42:15 AM] Boydgamesh: so she's either breaking and entering or also stealing money too
[1:42:21 AM] Kyle: where they're not going to notice stuff missing
[1:42:26 AM] Chrono Ivan: she does enchant a thing
[1:42:28 AM] Chrono Ivan: remember the magic
[1:42:31 AM] Chrono Ivan: seeing eye thing
[1:42:57 AM] Squee: If she's stealing money half the time and paying for food legitimately, that would be the smart thing to do and would make sense to avoid suspicion
[1:43:04 AM] Chrono Ivan: so she might just have enchanted a debit card from a store or whatever
[1:43:11 AM] Squee: I do not think that level of forethought is consistent with her character though
[1:43:15 AM] Kyle: Pasmo card~
[1:43:35 AM] Boydgamesh: she could just steal money just as a universal thing though
[1:43:38 AM] Squee: That's the most sensible one so far, at any rate.
[1:43:44 AM] Boydgamesh: since we saw her in the arcade already
[1:43:46 AM] Squee: the debit card theory
[1:43:46 AM] Boydgamesh: I doubt those games were free
[1:44:07 AM] Kyle: they're not
[1:44:14 AM] Chrono Ivan: just magic the occasional ATM even
[1:44:20 AM] Squee: honestly I think they probably just didn't bother thinking about that
[1:44:20 AM] Kyle: they're p expensive compared to ours, actually
[1:44:30 AM] Kyle: most likely
[1:44:30 AM] Chrono Ivan: yeah there's also that
[1:44:38 AM] Kyle: but there's also the fact of
[1:45:00 AM] Kyle: how are you really going to catch a single person who steals small things of food in a city?
[1:45:02 AM] Chrono Ivan: 'look you can think up any number of explanations for why a superhuman girl with magic powers and nothing left to lose hasn't been caught for petty theft'
[1:45:05 AM] Boydgamesh: yeah obviously, not like her stealing matters to the plot at all
[1:45:19 AM] Boydgamesh: it's brought up verbally like once
[1:45:40 AM] Squee: Well, with technology as advanced as it is there, there'd be higher levels of surveillance as well
[1:45:45 AM] Squee: but yes it's not important to the plot
[1:45:51 AM] Squee: so I can understand why they wouldn't bother

[1:47:52 AM] Squee: This is a cool building

[1:54:21 AM] Squee: Okay something doesn't add up here
[1:54:34 AM] Squee: She says she went public as a magical girl--and then seems surprised that her dad found out?
[1:54:50 AM] Squee: Is there a translation thing I'm missing here?
[1:54:57 AM] Chrono Ivan: porbably
[1:55:00 AM] Chrono Ivan: she never went public
[1:55:50 AM] Squee: I was gonna say, that seems like a really dumb idea.
[1:56:12 AM] Squee: even by her standards
[1:58:21 AM] Kyle: p sure it means her dad found out what her wish was
[1:58:52 AM] Kyle: but idk, it's been a while
[2:00:32 AM] Boydgamesh: IIRC she treated it like being a superhero more or less
[2:00:35 AM] Squee: She says he found out later, but the bit about going public comes before that
[2:00:42 AM] Boydgamesh: girl by day, hero by night or something

[2:04:52 AM] Squee: Another scene with irrelevant green-haired friend. I honestly don't even know what her name is.
[2:05:00 AM] Squee: Why do we still care about her?
[2:05:13 AM] Kyle: she's mildly relevant at this point
[2:05:17 AM] Boydgamesh: because she loves Sayaka's husbando and is the reason Sayaka's despairing
[2:05:22 AM] Boydgamesh: well, part of
or will be
[2:05:39 AM] Boydgamesh: tbh idek why I'm talking
[2:05:41 AM] Boydgamesh: Boydgamesh goes to post[2:05:56 AM] Kyle: because nice guy sayaka is too much of a betafuzzy little man-peach to drop her PUA skills on Kyousuke
[2:06:04 AM] Squee: pffffffff
[2:06:46 AM] Squee: I guess it's good that she at least has *some* relevance then
[2:07:01 AM] Squee: as opposed to being present throughout the early series and then dropping off the face of the earth with no explanation
[2:07:09 AM] Squee: Squee stares at Nanoha
[2:08:25 AM] Kyle: they had some relevance
[2:08:26 AM] Kyle: kinda
[2:08:28 AM] Kyle: in s1
[2:08:47 AM] Kyle: even if I can't remember blue-haired girl's name
[2:09:09 AM] Kyle: they helped nurse Arf back to health
[2:09:26 AM] Squee: Oh shit, this girl's observant
[2:09:28 AM] Squee: damn
[2:09:41 AM | Edited 2:09:52 AM] Squee: a normal capable of something other than being a [radio edit]up in a magical girl series
okay "I'm going to confess tomorrow, act before then" isn't exactly the greatest way to handle that
[2:11:04 AM] Squee: ~teenage girls~
[2:11:25 AM] Kyle: idk, that's p legit
[2:11:52 AM] Kyle: "Look, I'm giving you till tomorrow to make a move, since I know you've been crushing on him forever. If you don't, I'm going to."
[2:12:11 AM] Kyle: bascially
[2:12:16 AM] Kyle: sack up
[2:13:05 AM] Chrono Ivan: "god you suck seyiku"
[2:13:23 AM] Squee: She doesn't say "if you don't" though, she just says she's going to regardless
[2:13:29 AM] Squee: again, might be a translation thing
[2:13:37 AM] Squee: that just sounds like a way to create more drama to me though
[2:13:40 AM] Kyle: oh
[2:13:44 AM] Kyle: still kinda legit
[2:14:01 AM] Kyle: "You've known him longer, I'm letting you make the first move if you want."
[2:14:02 AM | Edited 2:14:08 AM] Squee: I mean the thought is nice
[2:14:08 AM] Squee: WOW
[2:14:10 AM] Kyle: honestly
[2:14:11 AM] Squee: what a typo
[2:14:21 AM] Boydgamesh: what was the typo
[2:14:22 AM] Boydgamesh: I didn't see
[2:14:25 AM] Squee: "ince"
[2:14:41 AM] Squee: been on temple too long, everything's turning into incest

[2:19:37 AM] Kyle: well
[2:19:40 AM] Kyle: that kinda depends
[2:19:45 AM] Kyle: what do you consider the main plot?
Chrono Ivan is reminded of that blarg draco linked
[2:20:20 AM] Squee: I mean the show is named after Madoka and I know the story kind of revolves around her and Homura
[2:20:21 AM] Squee: so
[2:20:31 AM] Chrono Ivan: Ep1 "when is madoka gonna become a magical girl"
Ep2 "when is madoka gonna become a magical girl"
Ep3 "when is madoka gonna become a magical girl"
Ep4 "when is madoka gonna become a magical girl"
Ep5 "when is madoka gonna become a magical girl"
[2:20:38 AM] Boydgamesh: it's mostly about Sayaka for a while
[2:20:39 AM] Kyle: lel, that blog
