So is the 'The Great Passage' also a metaphor for Majime's upcoming life and relationships as well as the dictionary he's making?
It's a metaphor for your asshole.
>>149261192
It's a pretty good metaphor then.
>>149261192
I bet she loves anal.

Commie's pretty good for this show.
No meme subs.
And some nice explanations.

When was the last time you accessed a physical dictionary?
Do you still own one?

Just kill me now
>>149262750
I use a German-English one in my living room that I occasionally use.
>>149262750
I have 6 dictionaries standing on my desk. But I don't use them because searching the internet is so much easier.
>>149262796
Did you look up the dirty words, Hans?
>>149262849
Why do you have six on your desk?
>>149262781
I know that feeling.
>>149263052
Where else would I put them?
>>149263123
A bookshelf?
>>149263196
My main library is for fiction only.
My non-fiction side-shelf can't take any more books. So I just collected the books that look to the casual observer like they might find some use from time to time and put them onto my desk.
There's Kant, the afore-mentioned dictionaries, a bible, the constitution and a collection of formulas. The last one being the only one that sees any actual use, but I look really intellectual with the whole bunch right there ready for a quick consultation.
Their faces when they find out you're a virgin.
>>149262750
Only bilingual ones. I love them
>>149264010
If they think being a virgin will be a problem for him why won't Sasaki-san step up and do the needful?
>>149262750
Ye olde OED that sits at my parents place, you could kill a man with it. Never needed to have one on hand since I'm an engineer and my plebeian needs are fulfilled by Google these days.
>girl suddenly appears
>talks about love
Dropped.
It was interesting until they hamfisted in some romance. Who fucking cares?
I love how everyone in the office is trying to wing Majime with Kaguya.
Top workmates.
>>149264385
What kind of communist shithole did you pop out of from?
It's called love at first sight. And seeing as how the anime is about Majime's journey though life and how words can play a part in that, she's pretty fucking important.
>>149265046
>love at first sight
Doesn't exist
>>149263123
In the trash
I like how much of a bro he is.
Thought he would be an arsehole. Is the red head he was with earlier is missus?

You must have a sad life.

We do.

It's a shame her roles are so rare these days. She's basically the only reason I'm watching this. She andthat character animation
>>149265518
Nah.
>>149265518
You didn't really answer the question.
Why are you so mad when you find out that some people like to read fiction?
That long pause of silence was hilariously awkward.
Does the cast have a publicly listed age?
>>149265704
why do you even ask a retard, why he is mad about some stupid shit?
Are you retarded too?
>>149265094
Call it lust then.
>>149265736
Just a little autistic.
This show has too man great things going for it. The seiyuu, their performances, the way the characters movements are subtly yet fluidly animated.
One of those beautiful shows that comes once in a blue moon. Nips need to adapt more great novels like this one.
>>149265916
The character animation is especially good.
I honestly thought it was just usual episode 1 animation flaunting but then they kept it up for 2 more episodes and I don't see why it'd stop now.
>>149262750
I used to carry one around in college because one of my professors required it and refused to let us use our phones.
>>149266998
The animation might be more reserved if there are any outsourced episodes but it's already great that we've been having multiple episodes with good character animation. I figured the show would have a few well-made episodes given Hiroyuki Aoyama's role as animation supervisor, but for it to have this level of consistency is unexpected.
QUALITY
>>149265916
Yup, the realistic animation is really well done. And realistic character designs are a nice change too, this anime definitely one of the unexpected surprises of this season (along with Girlish Number).
More novel adaptations like this one would be great, but unfortunately I don't think those would be profitable enough to really become achieve that status.
Is he going to fuck the granddaughter?
I must be the only one underwhelmed by this show judging from this thread.
Yeah there's some nice animation and the voice acting is good (I love Kamiya), they're obviously putting effort into it, the writing isn't exactly bad...but the subject matter is just dull. I hope it gets a little more interesting.

>>149267432
He'd better.Someone watch the movie and spoil me.
>>149268190
I really do want to watch the movie and read the novel but I'm really enjoying the slow burn with this series so I'm going to hold on for now.
>>149268190
She looks pretty ugly in the movie.
>>149268190
I watched the movie.It's not implied but they probably did. Movie Hajime isn't a word autist like his anime counterpart, just really shy. Not the kind of person to be in a relationship with a girl for 15 fucking years and not make a single move.
>>149268712
I just watched the trailer, she's pretty average.The trailer was also enough to spoil me.
>>149268712
>She looks pretty ugly in the movie.
>>149268848
>she's pretty average
Of course, 2D is perfection and voiced by Sakamoto
>>149270736
Go away, /v/.
Majime is prime husbando material.
>>149268818
Anime don't have real autists.
I don't know the movie so I can't judge what exactly you mean, but it's pretty obvious that Hajime is not supposed to be autistic (and Japan in general probably doesn't believe autism is real anyways).

This shit always irks me. At least Marnie put a spin on it.
>>149267577
I can understand that. Personally I like having the variety, but it's not for everyone.
Seems pretty greateven though I didn't watch even a single ep
Literally only watching this for the beautiful woman.
>Japan makes me watch an anime about dictionaries
How they do that?
>>149280702
>not watching it for the dictionaries
Fucking normalfags, I swear.
>>149265046
>It's called love at first sight.
No - it's the tired old trope of shoe-horning in a romance in typical cliched anime style into a show where it isn't necessary.
>>149281370
By animating it instead of 3d shows.
Would you?
Wingman of the season?
>>149284284
>>149284966
You're one cheeky bugger.
>>149284151
I bet she is kinky.
I liked how Majime recognises the fact he likes Kaguya and isn't afraid to receive help.
So refreshing.
>>149286363
Elaborate.
>>149265722
Jap Wikipedia says Majime and Nishioka are both 27, but doesn't list the other characters.
>>149286761
It's called being an adult
>>149290105
Cheers. I'm guess Kaguya is in her early twenties then.
>>149275022
>brown haired Japanese male or,
>guy with dyed hair in his 30s

Y-yeah...
>>149290205
Sasuga, as expected of an adult.
>>149291044
As expected of, as expected of an adult.
I remember being very mildly upset when I learnt Encyclopaedia Britannica was stopping physical publications.

10/10 best girls of the season.
>>149293198
Absolutely lovely.
Looking forward to Majime attempting to court her.
>>149280702
And her voice. I've had enough of autistic character and the Japanese work mentality, neither are interesting to me. Unless the MC undergoes a lot of character development I don't see how this anime will be interesting to watch, that's about the only plotline I can think of that wouldn't be dull; romance aside. I really don't want him to just stay as he is and each week we get a new MUH DICTIONARY exposition and that's the show.
>>149286761
I think it was too fast. Sure he could be physically attracted to her, but people were attaching the name of love to it when he had not said more that 2 words to her and only knew what her name and job was. If that can be called love at first sight then it must be a very weak and arbitrary love.
>>149294396
Could be just the subs.
They could have been saying crush for all we know. And Majime's workmates probably push the case regardless as good lads.
>>149294614
Maybe. I think "interested in" would be about the only appropriate description right now.
Does anyone even give a fuck about romancing hags?
>>149294975
Yeah, it'll be nice to see Majime grow as a person as he's making the dictionary.
She's cute, I'd root her.
>>149294396
>he had not said more that 2 words to her and only knew what her name and job was
They don't know that.
That's the problem with friends trying to help you in such matters. More often than not they create facts that you weren't even sure about.
Though in this case it's perfectly fine because the girl is too. And everybody loves Hajime so they probably pay close attention to subtle signs if he is okay with where they are maneuvering him.
>>149291579
That doesn't mean the work behind it will stop. It's just that they realized the physical copy can't realistically keep up with the digital one which is both easier to use and more up to date. A typical dictionary is outdated before it even gets to the bookstore.
>>149295390
He seems to believe what they're telling him though. I don't understand how he's thinking that is true.
>>149295465
Lack of experience.
>>149295465
He's a 27 year old virgin. He's not a very socially suave man.
>>149295714
I'm a 30 year old virgin. I can talk to girls without a problem. The only problem is the complete inability to get intimate, but I don't regret that much.
I wish more people were watching this, I've loved every episode.
>>149295271
>>149293398
>those noses
Oh yeah this is definitely the same character designer as rakugo
>>149295769
As a topic it's just outside of /a/'s general scope. I'm sure lots of people are enjoying it though.
Just enjoy the slow and relaxed threads for what they are.
Oh shit, she knows Majime is keen as fuck, even though it wasn't his idea.
>>149295769
After seeing the first ep, I couldn't stop watching, can't wait for next ep.
>>149295873
You sure visiting somebody at their restaurant can't be considered good manners?
They are living together after all. Why not try to get to know each other?
How did Sakaki infer this?
>>149295999
Either by the time he needed, or by the fact that she already checked the local toilet?
I don't know. To me it looked like she verified what he had taken with him, and his equipment was sufficient for the longer journey.
>>149295999
What if he just always goes to the main building to pee?
>>149295999
Because he's a slacker. If he's in the main building, it means it takes him longer to get there and back, ergo more time away from working.
>>149296032
>>149296076
>>149296204
Sasuga, master slacker.
>>149295714
So fucking moe. I just want to corrupt him so badly.
I like how Nishioka is being motivated by Majime, every now and then.
Had a right laugh when everyone thanked him for his eatery recommendations.
>>149281370
Because it's not actually the dictionary word porn that make you come back.
>>149296902
It is for me. I couldn't stop smiling when he was defining east.
So the first process is assessing what words have entered multiple dictionaries?
>>149272059
>another series where the bromance will be better developed, more entertaining and have more chemistry than the actual romance
Damn it, I didn't wanna fall for this again after Rakugo and Sakamichi no Apollon.
They need to add an extra scale for his autism.
Kaguya is fucking mint. I can't wait for Majime to hit her with a word explanation.
>>149298317
>fucking mint
>>149298152
>Rakugo
Rakugo romance was never the focus, Slut and Sukeroko marriage was a trainwreck and kek if you think Bon actually loved the slut.
>>149298724
>episode properly introduces character named Kaguya
>animator and animation supervisor for Kaguya-hime work on it
It's like pottery, it rhymes.
>>149260981
Wow after watching episode 1 I had a stupid grin on my face. Plus the ending song is just comfy as fuck.
Though i get a feeling romance is going to play a big part of this series
>>149298724
What was the point of that sudden change in animation for?
It was jarring at best.
>>149299449
It will be, the great passage also refers to Majime's life.
>>149299724
Pls no NTR or any drama that involves romance i love all the cast at this point. I don't want to hate a single character here
>>149299724
That sequence had uncorrected animation by Osamu Tanabe who was the animation supervisor of Kaguya-hime. It's one of those anime production quirks where an episode gets idiosyncratic animation by a guest animator.
>>149299762
What? There's only one love interest and it's vanilla as fuck. Kaguya is playing a supportive role as Majime and co work on a the dictionary.
>>149299992
If this is true then Thank God.
>>149299767
Right oh, it was particularly weird.
This is NTR.
Does it say what his wife is sick with?
>>149291736
