About ten minutes later, Kaede returned ho.
Eriri, seeing Kaede co in with a bag in his hand, put down the kitchen knife and ran over, asking curiously, "Kaede-kun, what did you buy...?"
She pushed open the bag and saw several boxes inside, and her little face instantly turned red.
Kaede said with a smile, "We ran out last night, so I had to restock. I rembered it this morning, but after buying manga and groceries on the way back, I forgot all about it. Alright, I'll put these away, and then I'll make dinner."
It wasn't until Kaede had put things away and co out that Eriri asked, "Kaede-kun, when you went to buy them, did the convenience store clerk say anything?"
"What could they say? It's just normal shopping, isn't it?"
Kaede said with a smile.
Of course, he was a little nervous at first, but after seeing the clerk's expressionless face, he completely relaxed.
Eriri couldn't retort for a mont and could only say, "I would never dare to buy sothing like that at a store... Oh, right, couldn't you have bought it online?"
"Online shopping is an option," Kaede nodded, then said with a smile, "but if we shop online, we'll have to wait, and then we won't be able to use it tonight, right?"
"Ugh!!!!"
Eriri's small face flushed crimson, and she quickly rushed over to the stove.
But what was the use of hiding? She still had to face it tonight... After dinner, they efficiently finished their howork. They didn't start drawing imdiately today, and even the Monster Hunter session they planned to start grinding was temporarily put aside.
Holding a manga, Eriri sat on the studio sofa and said, "Kaede-kun, I'll read the manga first. Please help find so ani with great fighting scenes!"
"Alright, I already have so ideas. I'll find them quickly."
Eriri started reading the manga, skipping directly to the battle parts, while Kaede began searching through websites.
It had to be a fight, preferably one involving swords and blades, the real deal.
Hmm~~~~
Found it!
Before long, Kaede called over Eriri, who had just watched a few fights and was sketching drafts in her notebook. He pointed at the computer and said, "Let's watch this one first. Eriri, you must have seen it before. We'll just focus on the combat. There are quite a few fighting styles here, and learning from them to apply to monster battles shouldn't be a problem."
Eriri looked, and imdiately said happily, "KILL La KILL! I watched that a long ti ago. Let's rewatch it!"
KILL La KILL, also known as *Zanfuku Shōjo* (Severing Clothes Girl), is a TV ani produced by the animation studio Trigger. It aired in 2013, which was several years ago, but even now, it remains an extrely excellent, passionate battle ani.
When Kaede first watched it, he actually found it a bit hard to accept. His first reaction at the ti was, "Why is the female protagonist's battle outfit so suggestive? How are kids supposed to watch this properly?"
Then, after watching a few episodes.
Stop with all these close-ups! Are they going to fight or not?
In short, it's a show that, once you get into it, makes you ignore the suggestive clothing and focus purely on the plot and the action.
Putting down the manga, Eriri imdiately started watching with Kaede. Looking at the beginning of the first episode, she said, "When I first watched this show, the impact on was huge. This was even more shocking than the 'naked floating' scenes in Gundam back in the day, but it really is good."
"It truly is a great show."
After taking the bag of chips Eriri was about to open, Kaede said with a smile, "Don't eat snacks. The waterlon we bought has been chilling for a while. Want so?"
"Yes!!!"
Since moving here, they had only bought waterlon twice. One of those tis, it wasn't very sweet, so Kaede had consulted his mother afterward. The one he picked this ti should be fine.
Leaving Eriri to watch, Kaede walked out of the studio and retrieved the waterlon from the fridge.
He had originally planned to cut it into cubes, but seeing that the waterlon wasn't very big, an idea suddenly sprang up in Kaede's mind that he couldn't suppress.
He imdiately took out two large bowls, cut the waterlon directly in half with a knife, stuck two spoons into the halves, and carried them straight into the room.
Hearing the door open, Eriri was wondering why he was so fast. She turned around and saw half a waterlon presented before her.
"Here, dig in yourself."
Holding the bowl, Eriri stared blankly as Kaede scooped out the sweet center of his half and ate it in one bite. She imdiately followed suit and started eating.
"Mmm, this is so much better. Kaede-kun, I think they often eat it like this in China, right?"
"Mainly because waterlon is cheap in China, but it's really expensive in Japan," Kaede said while eating and watching the ani. "But this lon isn't too big, so eating it like this is perfect. Eriri, is it too cold?"
(T/N: hahahaha to be honest everyti I saw Chinese reference in this fic I can't help but laugh, I fell like the Author just getting forced to write it)
"Nope!"
Saying that, she scooped another spoonful into her mouth, her eyes glued to the computer screen.
After swallowing the waterlon, Eriri looked at the visuals, which still didn't seem outdated even now, and sighed, "Trigger is amazing, both in style and production quality. I wonder when our manga will get an ani adaptation, and which studio will produce it. Kaede-kun, which animation studios do you prefer?"
"For ... Ufotable is one, and definitely Trigger, plus Kyoto Animation and Deen."
"What about Sunrise?"
Kaede nodded, "Oh right, Sunrise counts too. I think that's it. Don't even ntion studios like JC Staff to . I really don't want our work to be sacrificed."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, surely not for the manga?"
"You can never be sure," Kaede said, his eyes fixed on Ryuko Matoi's transformation sequence. "Think about One-Punch Man. I rember the first season was done by Madhouse, and it was incredible. But what about the second season? The most important fight scenes were so poor compared to the first, there's no comparison. If comparing the two ani seasons isn't enough, you can compare it to Murata-sensei's manga redraws. Seriously, sigh..."
When Kaede ntioned that, Eriri suddenly rembered that she had watched the second season of One-Punch Man, but she had absolutely no mory of it now. Her mind basically only recalled the classic scenes from the first season.
Well, it seed JC Staff really couldn't be relied upon now, even though they used to be great.
Sighing, Kaede said, "Sigh, although the animation industry is struggling right now, there are still many excellent studios persevering. We shouldn't rush our manga; we still have a long wait. Let's just get past this current hurdle first."
Eriri agreed, saying, "Indeed, let's focus on the present. Hmm... but I don't think I can borrow anything from Ryuko Matoi's fighting style or technique."
"Then let's skip ahead and watch Satsuki Kiryuin."
Saying that, Kaede started skipping episodes.
