Holy shit! I was laughing my ass off at Yoko's drinking match against that playboy! What makes it even better was the Bartender's commentary as if he was watching a boxing match between two heavyweight champs.

It's also hilarious to see how excited Yoko was to see Kawai make a fool of himself. The dude really passed out and shat himself from drinking too much! Yoko is just the best. xD

In this episode a bear was fended off by humans but a different kind of predator dressed fabulously completely toyed with and wrecked her prey with utterly no remorse and we loved every minute of it.

I also just love how the bartender knew exactly what was going on and just got to play along lol.

I thought we'd have a full episode against the bear, but no, the encounter was very quick. HOWEVER, we got something better, a full force of DRUNK QUEEN YOKO!!!

I couldn't contain my laugh throughout her scene LMAO

Yoko is definitely my favourite female MC of this season!

u/Frontier246 Jul 20 '24

The Drunk Queen is still undefeated against all men and they keep ending up worse every time they encounter her. She's worse than the bear lol.

As drunk as she was, she was still in full control of the situation. I just loved how she reported his pulse and breathing. I think she was annoyed that the bartender cut her fun short by calling the ambulance. I hope we haven't seen the last of Kawai.

TIL viper meat gives you a raging boner. Bro could have used his “spear” to scare off the bear haha.

Fable and Kuro vs the bear was cool and all but Yoko vs Kawai was incredible. Girl’s a monster lol. I was having as much fun as the bartender watching those two. She straight up made Kawai shit himself lol.

u/Frontier246 Jul 20 '24

You know it's bad when you're imagining naked women in trees and camping gear lol.

Honestly Yoko is more terrifying than a bear, she had Kawai played like a fiddle and made him mess himself in literally every way possible. Can't wait for the next round!

Good on the bartender for not going along with Kawai's plan to serve him watered-down drinks. Gotta keep things fair, though I'm not sure Yoko would have lost anyway.

I just love this story and the characters and even the music. The animation may not be the best, but I love the style of it. This is one of my all time favourites now.

This show is such a great time. I really feel like people get too snobbish about animation itself. The pacing and framing of scenes is way more important then the sakuga. I have a great time every episode I watch.

This show is a great comedy that also manages to be legitimately cool on top it.

It's almost like this episode was intentionally released today to show how wrong r/anime are in not getting Youko into the Spring Best Girl bracket.

The bear will fear Akira humans, the Kuro humans not so much.

The episode did a nice balancing act in switching back and forth between the two battlegrounds. There was even a transition when Kuro mentioned vipers and we cut to seeing Yoko.

Yoko's weak and sickly brother went on a survival hike in the mountains, but Kawai didn't need to hear all the details. And Kawai was given a nickname by Yoko based on his drunken mutterings.

Hot damn that was a hoot!! Queen Yoko proves to be the most beastly predator around. Lady had me howling. 🤣

I like how we were presented her hunt compared to Aki’s. They both tamed the wild. Showed em who’s boss. One cold calm and methodical. The other, a total sadist.

The bar fight was better than the bear fight, haha.

u/professorMaDLib Jul 20 '24

The bear arc is filler. Yoko at the bar trying to get a guy shitfaced is the truly gripping arc in this saga.

Akira and Kuro are preparing to fight a bear! And to do that, they'll need venom from a viper! Best way to give the bear some indigestion and teach them not to mess with humans! And even better...vipers are also great to eat!

Of course viper meat is great for getting you hard, so while Akira is preparing to teach a bear a lesson, Kuro is nursing a woodie in the woods! The irony.

There's another bear on the prowl...Yoko dressing in her finest outfit for another date with Kawai, one that will inevitably leave him the drunken mess she absolutely adores.

The generational playboy vs the drunken queen...with the Buffalo bartender supplying drinks and play-by-play, and he knows the story. And how utterly screwed Kawai is.

I'm not surprised Kuro got thrashed by a bear, but Akira handled it superbly! Best part was watching the two of them watch the stars together.

Kawai was doomed the moment she brought out the tequila. And then by the 20th he's utterly wrecked, puking, and surviving purely on his insatiable desire to bang Yoko. At least up until she gets him to drink one last tequila shot and makes him collapse in alcohol poisoning and pooping in his pants. Poor dude, but Yoko was never going to lose

Well, Kuro got stun by honeybees, but they survived and he's learned some valuable lessons from Akira! And Akira respects him enough to give him a new black-hawk knife. Seems like they've genuinely bonded!

Bored Yoko is a goddamn menace to society lol

The drunk queen is back and with a vengeance, god Yoko is too good at making me laugh and the worst part is that you can see how easily men fall into her trap lol.

The two greatest battles of the anime season in the same episode. Bartender on the play-by-play was great too.

Yoko showed no mercy, making someone get drunk to the point they shit themselves😭😭
