I still question why the hell would two gaijins living in Japan literally never speak their native tongue with their children. Speaking primarily in Japanese so they learn well and integrate into society easily, sure. Absolutely forbidding any shadow of english doesn't really make sense.

the brother kind of unsettles me, their depiction of white otaku is not inaccurate but it feels like foreign territory. Even Genshiken skirted around the issue.
Asobase doesn't pull punches.

The ending is the most memorable one in the last years, the show is a fucking mess and a good one at it, all girls are best girl somefuckinghow, and even one shot characters are amazing. I originally refused to watch it thinking it would be a "us nerds amirite" self deprecation flagellation shit, and now it's the highlight of the year for me, unless somehow fall gets a surprise bomb this is my choice for AOTY.

I'd tend to agree, generally comedy anime makes me smile at best, but this has some genuinely funny shit. And it's not the faces, it's the writing and the comedic timing. The faces are just for the flavor. I hope this has a chance for season 2.

Youre are assuming the parents even know anything except Japanese. It could be one non-Japanese parent although I vaguely remember Olivia saying shes not half. I can think of the reverse situation where the Asian parents only know English so their kids only know English and you have to go to grandparents to find the Asian language

Degrading apocrine sweat gland secretions.
East Asians who have nearly complete loss of typical body odor, when compared to people of African and European descent [...] East Asians have predominantly dry earwax, as opposed to sticky; the gene encoding for this is strongly linked to reduced body odor, whereas those with wet, sticky earwax (Africans and Europeans) are prone to more body odor.

The situation was pretty funny already, with anybody except Hanako being embarassed about the grade schooler-tier explenaitions the game requires but those creatures Maeda drew just killed me. The dumb/creepy design combined with the "'ugchyeeeh''" sound were too much.

Peasants used plows because the Land Owner wanted to increase output which in turn increased wealth. Hoeing was generally used on home gardens and for weeding. The ancient Egyptians were using animals and ploughs so there may be something to the theory. Also the Japanese grew primarily rice and soybeans compared to Europeans who grew grains like wheat.
