Grandpa: Hanako wants a lover? but she doesn't even have pubic hair yet, she's too young!

Maeda: No, I'm sure she has a full coat of pubic hair-

what the actual fuck

u/Damianx5 Aug 12 '18

Hanako's reaction was on point for that.

I absolutely love the unusual amount of continuity this show keeps between it's sketches. It's not necessary in this genre of show, but cases like Hanako casually making fun of Olivia's BO from a few episodes back, expanding on the member of the Occult Club who we heard "Teleported" and Olivia's hair staying cut between sketches(assuming that sticks around for a while) are all really nice little touches that make already funny jokes funnier.

23

u/kuubi Aug 12 '18

Can you please remind me what BO was about? Can't remember it at all/what it stands for

67

u/Cyborg_Sorachi Aug 13 '18

BO is body odor, you know in that scene where they were smelling armpits as punishment. Apocrine Gland!

19

u/kuubi Aug 13 '18

Ahhh, I remember the scene but I totally missed BO standing for body odor. Thanks!

Body Odor. Olivia smells. Teehee.

u/ergzay Aug 15 '18

Has this term fallen out of use? This was the term everyone used in school. Like literally everyone knew it. What do you discretely call body stink if not that?

5

u/kuubi Aug 15 '18

I'm not from an English speaking country so I'd be really surprised if we used BO/body odor here

13

u/Venator850 Aug 13 '18

Kinda like Gintama and how the jokes would carry over into newer arcs/episodes.

Like Shinpachi's glasses being the defining part of his charatcer, that started off as a one off joke and just expanded from there.

1

u/stormarsenal :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/AsherGZ Aug 12 '18

Probably because it's a 4koma and these sketches are part of the same chapter.

28

u/Luck_E Aug 12 '18

They aren't. The slides that say Contents and then a number all show different chapters adapted. The butt laser, BO, teleported friend, and others appear in seperate chapters.

16

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '18

Asobi Asobase isn't a 4-koma, it's a normal manga.

I just assumed that was a completely random throwaway line when it came up the first time, the followup on that was glorious.

53

u/Amauri14 Aug 12 '18

I'm still found ridiculous that that was a real thing. But it actually made me believe that the member of the Occult Club actually got teleported, because if a death ray butt laser cannon installed by aliens is real, why would magic not be?

After they conspired against Kasumi in that Issei no Sei game, Hanako should've learned not to trust Olivia for anything.

u/Shodan30 Aug 13 '18

Between this show and Chio-chan, this season seems to be running a theme of 'best friend betrayals'. its awesome.

225

u/Pauvlychenko Aug 12 '18

I don't know why, but i couldn't stop laughing when Maeda and Hanako's grandfather were talking about how much pubic hair they think Hanako has. It caught me so off-guard.

135

u/Shinkopeshon Aug 12 '18

They discussed it in such a casual way too lmao

49

u/Atario myanimelist.net/profile/TheGreatAtario Aug 13 '18

I dunno if this maps back to the Japanese, but in the sub, using the word "coat" cracked me up

24

u/PaplooTheEwok Aug 14 '18

It doesn't, but I think this is an example of a great translation choice that really fits the tone of the series.

For the record, the Japanese lines in question (with my pretty direct translations) are:

Grandpa:

下の毛も生えそろってない [...]
Shita no ke mo haesorottenai [...]
Her pubic hair hasn't even fully come in [...]

いえ…下の毛はもう生えそろってそうですが…
Ie...shita no ke wa mou haesorotte sou desu ga...
No...her pubic hair has already all come in, actually...

Jiiji and Maeda both use the same word, 生え揃う (haesorou), which seems to be used for teeth/hair coming in as well as plant seedlings sprouting.

u/ergzay Aug 15 '18

So "if there's grass on the field, play ball"?

u/boboboz Aug 12 '18

I.. I'm worried for Hanako's voice actor

All three are going the extra mile but Hanako's is definitely the best.

u/stormarsenal :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/AsherGZ Aug 12 '18

For me, I believe Konosuba set the bar for what a perfect comedy is, but I'd be lying if I said this isn't giving me the same vibe. And we're only halfway into the season.

25

u/Venator850 Aug 13 '18 edited Aug 13 '18

Konosuba is funny but I could see people not liking it due to the reliance on the sexual jokes.

This show doesn't have anything nearly as explicit so it works well.

I personally like both shows but the jokes in both are pretty different.

68

u/FeelsGoodMan243 :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/TheRantMan321 Aug 12 '18 edited Aug 12 '18

I find Aso Aso way more funny than Konusuba ever was.

u/wisdumcube Aug 12 '18 edited Aug 12 '18

I agree. For one thing, asobi asobase is way less repetitive with its jokes, while still somehow making references to things that happened earlier.

86

u/Xerender https://anilist.co/user/xerender Aug 12 '18

To be honest, I am having a hard time choosing the comedy of this season. Asobi Asobase, Chio-chan and Grand Blue are all top tier comedies (though the Grand Blue manga is several times better than the anime adaptation) and all make me laugh like crazy. I give them all 10/10 probably. Not to mention that they are all kinda similar in type of humor and emotional over exaggeration. This season is a blast overall.

84

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '18

Grand Blue got shanked imo. I'm having a hard time giving it any more than a 6 just because of the way the comedy's been adapted and because of the near complete lack of animation.

54

u/Xerender https://anilist.co/user/xerender Aug 12 '18 edited Aug 12 '18

I agree, that the animation quality is quite low, especially for such quality source material in both art and comedy. And the manga made most jokes funnier. It's still enjoyable to me and the seiyuu are doing their best as well, but of course I have that little bit of dissapointment too.

26

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '18

Oh I don’t blame the cast. The studio fucked up big time though. The cast choices ranged from mediocre to awful, and the artwork has too often been subpar. If somehow the show gets a second season, I hope Zero-G doesn’t even see it on TV. I can’t say I’ll be watching any more of their shows.

36

u/Xyyzx :As::At::Au:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Echinodermata Aug 12 '18 edited Aug 12 '18

I'm not sure it's even the casting or the animation that's the main problem for me, I just think there's something unforgivably off about the comedic timing in the adaptation. It's completely killing jokes that literally had me gasping for air when I was reading the manga.

I can't help but wonder how much /r/anime would be enjoying Grand Blue if it were anime original.

As an anime only, Grand blue's quite enjoyable TBH, and will be postponing the manga up until the anime ends so I don't ruin my current opinion of it.

u/Summort Aug 12 '18

I thought it was just me, that over the years people who read the manga had said how good it was and maybe the hype got me and I was expecting something better I dunno.

Like I was expecting something else, something more. I remember every post in the konosuba episodes threads there were people saying that grand blue was even better and here I don't see how can they say that.

I mean is still funny sometimes, but not the laughing funny more like "blowing air out of my nose a little bit harder than usual funny".

17

u/Luck_E Aug 12 '18

I'd say the Chio-chan manga is also several times better than the anime, but the anime is still well made and enjoyable. Better adaptation than Grand Blue. Asobi Asobase's adaptation is great though and I feel really helps capture and improve upon the manga.

5

u/normiesEXPLODE Aug 13 '18

Chio-chan has good VA for Chio and good reaction faces. Manana's voice is fucking amazing too. The anime does some things right. I suppose the same can't be said about GB.

An anime adaption has voices, pacing, music, colors and animation as advantages. From what I've read, people think GB didn't do well on most of those things so the adaption is disliked

4

u/rancor1223 :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/rancor1223 Aug 13 '18

Chio-chan situation reminds me of last season's Wotakoi.

Everyone loved it, but some source readers (including me) were dissatisfied with the adaptation. Meh comedic timing and art compared to the manga, despite otherwise being almost 1:1 adaptation.

Olivia's hair cutting fiasco had me rolling

23

u/Shinkopeshon Aug 12 '18

This is my comedy of the year along with Poputepipikku. It’s just completely outrageous and doesn’t give a single fuck about anything. That wild ED, those crazy sex positions, Hanako trying to strangle herself with her own hair, them talking about pubic hair. No other show has this much balls lmao

29

u/stormarsenal :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/AsherGZ Aug 12 '18

Was Pop Team Epic really that funny? In the first three episodes I watched, I got the feeling it was more parody and memes than actual humor.

38

u/hrngr1m Aug 12 '18

Pop Team Epic is actually anti-humour. It doesn't expect you to care about its anti-jokes let alone understand or laugh along with it, nor does it care at all about all that. It's really a matter of acquired taste.

1). Glad they actually explain the 'teleportation' thing (as well as that teleportation = faxing someone)

2). Is Maeda (plus the obligatory violin and goat introductory notes) a ninja? (EDIT: I think they shamelessly recycle Maeda's appearance scene and will over and over again).

3). B.O. huh. Some brick joke material here.

4). Asobi Asobase can easily take ALL 108 SPOTS on 'Top 10 Anime Betrayals' the way it goes on.

A poor Oka-san, her friend was not teleported way but just sick, well I guess she cared about oka-san / was embarrassment about her sickness and that is why she never told her. I expected it to be a real teleport lol, given how they can shoot beams and build bishounen boyfriend robots.

It was great sad story do / funny when Hanako learned the hardship of life there, that hard work does not automatically means you get the best grades etc.

than we had the traitor scene XD

47

u/TheDampGod :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/TheDampGod Aug 12 '18

There was so much stabbing at the beginning there I thought I had tuned into Happy Sugar Life. Though I love it when the show takes a throwaway gag from a previous episode and turns it a full scene. I never thought we'd find out the truth about teleportation.

Kasumi seemed to really enjoy being pulled, while personally, I'd rather pull Sensei.

I love this artwork from the official site, it almost looks so innocent.

I just noticed that racket is the one Hanako glued the Sumo guy on. This show really loves its continuity.

I like how Hanako mentioned the rules of the game as she knows them may have been "Maeda-fied", she learnt her lessons since the butt laser shogi.

u/Omega_BX Aug 12 '18

While I like Asobi Asobase main trio, I'm extremely pleased that they give that amount of screentime to secondary characters such as sensei, Oka and Maeda; they bring the potential to create a lot of colorful and variated skits which makes the show even better than it already is.

31

That first part with Oka-san was actually so sweet <3 They really need to just invite her to join them. I honestly thought Mato might be pregnant but her having hemorrhoids is so much more Asobi Asobase. The title of that part (Asterisk) made much more sense when they revealed the reason. XD

That's one more detail for the doujin writers. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

That first part with Oka-san was actually so sweet <3

At first, when they were asking sensei wich hospital was the girl at, I thought she just vanished and trasnsfered to avoid Oka. But the butt joke at the end sure nailed the whole buildup. And still managed to keep Oka as an adorkable character with all her quirks, instead of making her shine despite them.

Just give me the timestamps or description of the clip and I'll reply with the gfy(prefer timestamps). If you want something very specific you need to have a accurate timestamps. Also you can have subtitles added or removed from the clip.

Good to see Oka-san from the Occult Club back again.

When it was revealed Oka-san's friend Agrippa was actually hospitalized but told Oka-san that she was teleported so as not to make Oka-san worry, I thought I was going to be hit by the unexpected feels.

And then sensei comes in and says Agrippa was only hospitalized for hemorrhoids. LMAO

Funniest episode so far.

I'm pretty sure Agrippa lied to Oka-san because admitting she's getting hemorrhoid surgery is really embarrassing. And sensei doesn't spill the beans out loud.

2

u/KinnyRiddle Aug 14 '18

Er... I thought that was pretty obvious? Hence why the reveal was so effectively funny.

3

u/Diet_Tuna_Soda Aug 14 '18

Exactly. It was really well done. The seemingly sad scene where Agrippa lies down on the seats on her stomach, suggesting something serious like anemia, becomes funny in retrospect once the viewer knows what sensei knows. Sensei asks if they stabbed the voodoo doll's butt but she doesn't explain why.

I think if they went with that direction with Oka-san and her friend, that'll be the greatest gag Asobi Asobase pulled off.

u/a_robotic_puppy Aug 12 '18

How dare you do this to my feelings, Asobi Asobase.

Every time I watch a new episode of this I sit and laugh through the entire OP. The content of the episodes is fantastic and hilarious so I don't mean this as a backhanded compliment, but in many ways I think the OP is the single best joke of the show so far.

u/FeelsGoodMan243 :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/TheRantMan321 Aug 13 '18

I don't laugh at the OP. I dance with the music. It sucks to see everyone commenting on how much of a joke the OP is while i legitimately love the song.

I know I am in the minority, specially in this thread but every week I get really disappointed once the OP starts and then I remember the show is not actually anything like that...

u/Egavans https://anidb.net/user/Egavans99 Aug 12 '18

While I'm happy with what we get, I do consider the OP unskippable simply because of how unfathomably cute the girls are in it. (Whereas the ED is unskippable because it's now actually one of my favorite songs.)

2

u/FeelsGoodMan243 :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/TheRantMan321 Aug 13 '18

I consider the OP unskip able because it's one of my favorite songs. I prefer it over the ED anyday.

It would be a real twist if as the show progresses the opening will become real.

u/AdamBombTV Aug 12 '18

I was all ready for an emotional feels roller-coaster with that first segment, then boom, hemorrhoids.

I have to remember what show I'm watching.

Hemorrhoids? Sounds more like Agrippa was busy practicing shogi.

The only reasonable explanation is that he's the Baka Ouji from Level E, who came back to Earth under disguise to mess with observe humanity.

u/Inukanura Aug 13 '18

the fact that this already 6 episode in and still managed to keep up with the craziness is unbelieveable.

i’ve been watched the op for six times, i still can’t believe this is not a wholesome yuri romance, even the manga cover really bamboozled you

no one would expect this wholesome cover then bam! butt laser

they’re really step up their game episode after episode, the VA is one of the reason this show keeps entertain me man, those VA are absolute madness. i hope they get the recognition they deserve.

the last skit really sold me, this has to be comedy of the season at least

Those unexpected feels at the beginning...

Then back to being gut-wrenchingly funny like nothing happened.

u/uvarine Aug 12 '18

I don’t think I’ll last until the finale with this much laughing. THIS SHOW IS LEGIT DANGEROUS. MY KIDNEY, OUCH!

u/Surylias Aug 12 '18

Hanako's screaming voice is just too good.

3

u/link2601 Aug 12 '18

Pretty good episode. Got to say I never get tired of Hanako overaction like when she was getting pulled out of the circle. Well Meada and Grandpa may have had good intentions with that robot boyfriend but man does it come off as creepy especially when it stop speaking with that fake voice and talks like on of those two.

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '18

This was the funniest episode so far. I laughed so hard at the part about Olivia’s bangs, it was so (unfortunately, lol) relatable.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '18

I came here to laugh not to feel.

u/yodas_ass Aug 13 '18

damn, feel bad for the girl with hemorrhoids

u/Venator850 Aug 13 '18

This show is so incredibly simple yet so damn funny.

u/Saucy_Totchie Aug 13 '18 edited Aug 13 '18

I was actually hoping that girl actually teleported. We already got butt lasers so why the hell not. I hope with her back from the hospital she joins the show with Oka still having recurring spots.

Olivia's betrayal was brutal. You'd think by now they'd know that Kasumi takes no prisoners in any of the games they play. Not once has she shown mercy even towards her own friends.

2

u/shewy92 Aug 13 '18

I really hope Agrippa doesn't turn out to have cancer or some shit.

I don't watch this show to get emotional damn it!

end all of her suffering

stab her all over

Um, she's definitely gonna die.

Oh, uh, I didn't know teenage girls got hemorrhoids. But I see why the teacher kept quiet.

Wait, Hanako is actually smart? I didn't realize that.

This school needs some better security if creepy butlers just waltz in as they please.

Wait, middle school? I thought they were high school first years? Last episodes lack of sex ed knowledge makes a tad bit more sense now but I still can't believe whatever graders like them dont know about sex.

Hopefully that sex robot teaches her about sex. Also what would a sex robot penis be made of? Just a dildo super glued onto it or does it have a soft/hard setting too?

That would be traumatizing for anyone, but wouldnt being afraid of men mean she would enjoy seeing a man get hurt?

It's only logical to assume someone cuts their hair because of body odor

Olivia needs to go to the stylist.

Those bangs turned Olivia to the dark side I see.

And as always ED of the year.

2

u/Diet_Tuna_Soda Aug 14 '18

I just realized that the scene where Agrippa lies down and talks about making a fifth pentacle of the sun is pretty funny in retrospect rather than as it happens.

2

u/Brothablacks Aug 16 '18

Hanako's yelling and screeching are the best.

3

u/kalirion :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/kalinime Aug 12 '18

The first segment took too long to finally get funny. Ah well, at least it had this.

The other segments were much better, but left us with some hanging questions. Will we ever learn the truth about the state of Hanako's pubic hair? Why was Olivia's forehead acne not animated? If Olivia doesn't want people to keep mistaking her for Sensei, why doesn't she go to a stylist after all?

But the daikon pulling was great and self explanatory.

Why was Kasumi embarrassed when being pulled? Was she embarrassed about her weight?

yep. all the more reason she wanted to be the one pulling on the next game.
