COUP TABLEFLIP SERIES

Rather than playing video games, this series focused on tabletop games with a set and costume design that resembles the Victorian era. The show also had a number of recurring guests that are either Grumps or fellow YouTube personalities (ex: Markiplier, CaptainSparklez). I’m enjoying A Channel right now, because it’s funny in a non-stressful way.Table Flip is a spin-off series of Game Grumps that stars Suzy 'Mortem3r/Meeperfish' Berhow (wife of Game Grumps co-host Arin ' Egoraptor' Hanson) and Barry Kramer (the Grumps' editor and uploader) and ran from 2013 to 2016. Sure, there are a few other characters, but you don’t see much of them. The mangaka seems to be keeping it centered around the main 4. (Which is often.) I haven’t really noticed that tendency in A Channel. (Probably a function of which magazines they’re serialized in.)Īlso, LS has a habit of randomly adding characters whenever the mangaka feels like it. It doesn’t really specifically remind me of LS, because LS has always been more comfortable directly appealing to the more otaku-ish tendencies of the audience, and it also tends to break down the 4th wall, while A Channel is a lot more general in its themes and it avoids breaking the 4th wall rather firmly. With this genre, the characters have to drive it, because plot sure as heck isn’t going to do it.

But they’re all different because the characters are executed differently. This makes it similar to a bunch of other anime, too: G.A., K-On, Hyakko, Sketchbook, etc. This one just happens to have good character interaction, so it gets an anime. If you mean the general, “cute HS girls drawn in moeblob fashion not doing much, but they’re cute and amusing,” well yeah, it’s exactly the same as 100 other 4-koma manga out there. INS6: 「探検のススメ」 ( Tanken no Susume) by ナギ (Nagi)ĭepends on what you mean. God help me if no one takes the opportunity to strike while Tooru is out of her comfort zone! If the preview for next week’s episode is any indication of what’s to come, I can see Tooru wearing a simple yet cute white summer dress and failing at wearing heels. With that cute sweater of hers forcefully taken off, the little bit of purple she wears over her school uniform is just as cute. If anything, the most surprising part came from watching Tooru be so insecure about wearing more cuter clothes. With the ever so creepy Satou-sensei not making friends with anyone in any department to Yuuko going from cute to extra cute, things felt pretty well rounded this episode. With Run’s air-headed mind saving her from insults to keeping a cool head during heated situations, I can’t imagine her ever getting stuck at the end of one of Nagi’s plans ( as if Tooru would do anything, right?). I normally would try to sympathize with Yuuko due to being the butt of every single joke, but I’ve continually gotten so caught up in them that I’m to busy laughing to feel bad. While a Yuuko or Run centric episode hasn’t been done yet, the past six which focused on Nagi and Tooru were all fun to watch. I’ve started to approach each episode expecting to get a dose of two out of the four main characters, getting to learn their quirks and specific traits.

COUP TABLEFLIP FULL

While Yutaka seems to have completely revealed her inner craziness, Miho still hasn’t had the opportunity to just let it all loose.īut without worrying about the side characters, this week was once again full of Nagi and Tooru goodness. Hopefully they won’t get thrown to the side, since I’m really interested in watching them really reveal who they are. With the mix of personalities that the main cast contains, Yutaka and Miho would fit in easily. Sure they might be just support characters, but Yutaka’s fun and crazy personality is something I wouldn’t mind having more of. Since their introduction, they haven’t really had a chance to shine. At this point, it’s refreshing that watching Tooru and Run run through their routines at the beginning of each episode still makes me chuckle every time.Īfter someone commented on last week’s episode about the lack of Miho and Yutaka, I was hoping that they would get a little more screen time this week. As uneventful and boring as that could be, A-channel trims the fat and keeps all the fun parts of everyday life.

It’s comparable to taking a camera and having it follow you around as you live your everyday life. The quirks of everyday life, something that A-Channel manages to nail on the head every single episode. “A Midsummer Night… – A school in summer” 「真夏の夜の・・・ – A school in summer」 ( Manatsu no Yoru no…)
