"Tis time for "torture" princess. is depressingly wholesome

tldr demons are interrogating a warrior princes, and the torture is just like food and playing with friends, which always works because the princess had a spartan upbringing

oh also the demon lord is actually somehow best dad

[warped hollow]

Adorable

[hallow flume]

this is one of my favorite covers from that series:

I do love how since the cabbage incident, they really go to pron levels of detail when it comes to drawing/animating food most of the time

[cloud hinge]

behold a cabbage

[hallow flume]

it definitely looks like a "cabbage" that kids playing with playdoh would make

[hallow flume]

[crimson lodge]

why did I read that as "LUPIN THE BIRD"?

and now I want that to exist

[warped hollow]

It’s so baaaaaaad

|| The mercenary found his new place ||

Ruri !

[warped hollow]

YEEEEEESSSSS

[sturdy knot]

Wholesome One Piece moment
Chapter 1132

Also notice on Jump mangas
https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/titles/100348

They are now starting to put the chapters behind paywall
right now its only chapter 7
If you wanna continue readin the official its last chance to do without major breaks

[reef plume]

eyym, that is a good anime/manga

[warped hollow]

man I love the draconic puberty child

Ruri 25 ||I love how absolutely "so this is happening" everyone is about her entire situation.||

[sturdy knot]

Some less though

I her case I think her little sister already told her

[modest geyser]

Found this to be a pretty interesting read so far
https://mangadex.org/title/10ea7852-418e-4945-bfd3-5c1c58a17b38/ishigami-senki

[warped hollow]

probably but I find it amusing none the less.

[modest geyser]

Reading this is great so far
not looking forward to the end of current chapters

[modest geyser]

I am out of chapters

[reef plume]

Which one is this one?

Oh

it's the one you linked above

[mortal bolt]

Got some Ruri Dragon again

[warped hollow]

we've known

unless you mean something beyond chapter 25

[mortal bolt]

Nah just me finally realizing it

[warped hollow]

ah

[warped hollow]

Omnicient Reader 239 ||oh you know..... a friend. who happens to know absurdly obscure details. who is currently in another dimension. dont worry about it.||

[mortal bolt]

I can't wait for the day Ruri Dragon gets an anime. It has to. Right? RIGHT?!

[warped hollow]

its gotta, RIGHT?

[past steeple]

It'll happen along side ngnl season 2

[warped hollow]

oh. oh no.

[mortal bolt]

So soon?

Love this design

[warped hollow]

what now we have small children fighting for SPORT? not even for wars anymore?

[river widget]

More fun that way

[prisma perch]

more fair for whatever we are fighting :p

[modest geyser]

Oh shit Kafka going all in for round two.

New Kaiju #8 out already btw

[warped hollow]

Neat

[sturdy knot]

GAHHH

ANOTHER 2 WEEKS

GIMME

[warped hollow]

[modest geyser]

exactly

[sturdy knot]

I just realised in Dan Machi

Freya is actually really short

She is standing same height as Bell WITH her heels

[warped hollow]

I should watch more of that disaster of a show.

[sturdy knot]

IMO not really a disaster

Damn

Story is picking up and Bell is owning up to his density

[reef plume]

It's not a great series iirc. Focuses too much on MC, but if you don't mind that it's not bad.

[sturdy knot]

I mean.... It is about him and the familia ?

[reef plume]

Is it?

[sturdy knot]

About the mystery who he really is and how his existence ties into the dungeon ?

[reef plume]

His familia was only him.

[sturdy knot]

And about 6 others

[warped hollow]

Yeah. I know. I just like meming on it.

I enjoy it

[sturdy knot]

and multiple other familias allying with them as a big pseudo family

[warped hollow]

Although the red light district arc was dumb

[reef plume]

Mmm. Then my recommendation means nothing. 😛

[sturdy knot]

I give that it was weird at start

but even "the princess" has come a long way

[warped hollow]

Yeah

Fair

Bah I should just restart from the beginning it’s been so long

[sturdy knot]

Both mentally and ability wise

IMO it is worth it

Especially this season

[reef plume]

Maybe it recovered itself, I remember it as being shallow with too much focus on the fanservice and not the story

If it got better, that's great

[sturdy knot]

As it focuses more on how dense Bell really is to the feelings of people around him

and confronting the problems arising from that

also spoilers

|| Freya enslaving the whole city, gods and mortals alike, just to brainwash everyone into thinking Bell is hers all along ||

[warped hollow]

Creepy

[reef plume]

Oh good, it actually makes that a plot point. That's already way better.

[sturdy knot]

|| And Hestia now showing her true power as a godess ||

[warped hollow]

Well that’s nice

[sturdy knot]

|| The godess of the hearth ||

[warped hollow]

||yeah you don’t mess with house fire mom.||

[sturdy knot]

So its actually really good

[warped hollow]

Badass

Well

Guess I’ve got my next binge.

[reef plume]

... Wow, that's a waste of power I feel, ngl.

[warped hollow]

||zeus????||

[sturdy knot]

|| Uranos ||

[warped hollow]

Oh.

ohno

[warped hollow]

||hestia angy. very good.||

[sturdy knot]

|| *Hestia angy, very god ||

[warped hollow]

…… how do I keep missing these puns

[sturdy knot]

|| and now EVERYONE in the city is remembering the charm effect ||

[warped hollow]

Well thanks for letting me know things are happening. Yay rewatch time!

[warped hollow]

||EHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE||

||GET WRECKED MIND CONTROLLING SWINE.||

||BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD||

[sturdy knot]

|| in this case it was blood from the hearth godess for the temple ||

Enough now from me

Its good IMO

[cloud hinge]

so how many chapters does danmachi have now?

[warped hollow]

Many

[sturdy knot]

ATM it got 4 full seasons in the anime

and season 5 Ep 9 is the most recent

[cloud hinge]

is the manga also up to wherever the anime is at?

[sturdy knot]

Nope

The Manga was stopped

There is only LN

[cloud hinge]

aww

[warped hollow]

Rip

[cloud hinge]

gonna get to the light novel someday

[river widget]

Yea they canceled the danmachi manga because it wasn’t popular enough

Even though we still cry out for it to be revived

[warped hollow]

Yup

[river widget]

But also I’ll take the anime being finished tbh

[warped hollow]

Yeah

[river widget]

Like if I had to choose between manga starting again and anime stopping
Or anime continuing and the manga staying dead I’ll take the anime because it’s far in

Also if they stopped mid freya arc to resume the manga I’d be livid it’s a good arc

[warped hollow]

I see

[river widget]

Because if I remember correctly the manga didn’t even make it to bell getting level 2

They killed it super early

[cloud hinge]

last i remember ||Bell had killed some super boss and Hermes was saying something about Bell being the last hero of the zeus family|| or something along those lines

[river widget]

Think that might be right

[cloud hinge]

there was also a side comic about the sword lady

[river widget]

Sword of Ontario

Pretty neat

[cloud hinge]

and another side comic(?) about a cursed girl or something?

theres also aparently a danmachi 2 manga

[river widget]

Yea I think that made it to just the Ishtar arc

Before also dieing

Danmachi manga is a struggle to live lol

[cloud hinge]

on a different happier note

"The Demon King’s Daughter is Too Kind!!" has given me instan diabetus

[reef plume]

verrry cute one

[cloud hinge]

tldr demon child so pure and kind her mere presence makes everyone around at peace

[hallow flume]

That is an awesome series

also this looks fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuKb2IymZfA

[hallow flume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43RsKvVAjWM

Takashi Miike as director, this will be fun

[sturdy knot]

I dont think translation are needed for this moment in Elbaph ( yes its with ph and not f now officially )

22 years of running and suffering

[hallow flume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6-pIcX8IzQ

tl;dw the master positive film used to digitize had a common degredation that would cause it to fade more pink

which became part of the aesthetic of Sailor Moon and other anime shows

[hallow flume]

https://screenrant.com/manga-ban-tennessee-censorship-industry-issue-op-ed/

[reef plume]

Wait there's been a ban on manga?

Ah, in tenessee

[sturdy knot]

Apparently schools have started banning 'em

Because crazy lunatics and "influence on children"

[reef plume]

mhm

[sturdy knot]

I mean

Assassination Classroom ican SEE why they would maybe not have that in a US school

The only one I can somewhat see a reason as to why maybe not

[mortal bolt]

I mean "your teacher is an alien shoot them" I can see parts of the US loving that message :/

[hallow flume]

yeah, but at the same time there are some US comic books and media which is still allowed

[cloud hinge]

jujutsu kaisen i get the manga gets kinda graphic with the gore and body horror sometimes

same for attack on titan

[crimson lodge]

yeah, neither of those are "School-safe", and the fact that they're graphic novels, and not just text on a page, makes me feel "okay" with the idea of many being removed from school libraries

I mean, I never like censorship, but when it involves gory or lewd images... it just seems like it makes sense?

I remember when my school library got magazines for the first time, and a few months later they removed GQ, Sports Illustrated, and other magazines that often featured "sexy" photos and whatnot

(Sports Illustrated was the leader in that, because the Swimsuit Issue hit our school library... and... well... yeah......)

[hallow flume]

middle school or lower, I'd agree. High school I think it's excessive

[crimson lodge]

while I agree, parents tend to not, heh

if the majority of parents agreed, we wouldn't be in this predicament

but it's hard to argue when they're screaming and calling it porn and showing images where the bathing suits are literally painted-on at times, even when one disagrees xD

also doesn't help when some of these school libraries have manga like Highschool DxD and Seven Deadliest Sins (not Seven Deadly Sins), both of which are ecchi (and extremely lewd)

[cloud hinge]

even highschool i'd say might need to properly check the manga before putting em with the other books

way more likely for a student to lock themselves in the bathroom with some of the more explicit stuff

[crimson lodge]

that's the problem, the people who do the banning and handle all this are rarely the people doing the ordering and placement

and when they take donations, they just slap the library stickers on it and put it in the system without doing much research on what the book is

(school libraries aren't remotely as managed as public libraries)

of course, these issues are human error issues and lack of due diligence

but it still happens

[warped hollow]

It’s a mess, and I don’t exactly enjoy the idea of banning books, I can get it in a SCHOOL SETTING, distinctly middle and lower.

[warped hollow]

Grump. They have phones.

The entirety of the internets porn is but a search away

This isn’t the 1960s where the best smut you could find was still in paperback.

[river widget]

Most schools have it to where your data signal is barely functioning

And their wifi is highly restricted

[cloud hinge]

well yeah they have phones but generally the signal is trash and hopefully anyways the school has those sites blacklisted

[river widget]

But to bypass all those problems just your Microsoft edge/explorer

Not a joke btw

[warped hollow]

….. huh.

Guess I had a different experience

I mean the signal wasn’t great. But it was consistent.

[mortal bolt]

Hell I figured out that it was super easy to find porn on the school Ipads with school wifi. That one was legit an accident. It's also how I discovered reddit

[warped hollow]

Neat

[warped hollow]

Those blacklists aren’t as extensive as they think they are.

No seriously the hub wasn’t blocked for multiple years at my high school.

It caused an incident

[cloud hinge]

yeah that one has to be seen on a school by school basis

iirc the highschool i went to ended up blacklisting newgrounds and a bunch of other sites that had flashgame because of it as well as the common porn ones

mind you newgrounds actually had some of the actual porn stuff so i get why they'd blanket ban on that

[warped hollow]

Yeah

[sturdy knot]

Decided to give the anime a watch after readin up a bit more on Dandadan

They did EP 1 justice

Also love the term of the fandom

Lets create a new archetype for anime characters

The Bayonetta Granny

[cloud hinge]

hot take, but i'd take turbo granny on a date

[sturdy knot]

What

Turbo Granny ?!

[cloud hinge]

She seems like she knows how to have fun what do you want from me

i have reasonable, personality first based standards

[sturdy knot]

I like my crown jewels where they are

[cloud hinge]

thats only if you race her and lose

...i think

[sturdy knot]

And she wants that

Thats 100% of her intention

[cloud hinge]

no no no, her first line was like "lemme gobble that schlong" not "Race me"

also that scene gave me actual whiplash with just how directly she asked that

different but still Dandadan related, this story gets so weird

anyways yes, i would take her on a date

[crimson lodge]

I definitely wasn't expecting any of the beings to be so... direct... with their requests

and it's always the same thing

xD

[cloud hinge]

i can't get into spoilers but it gets so much funnier

[crimson lodge]

it definitely does

[cloud hinge]

actually how fars the anime got? i'm up to date on the manga and theres a lot more

[sturdy knot]

A little bit into it

[crimson lodge]

I've enjoyed it so far, my wife was... confused... when she walked in during one of the scenes

but she loves it now

[cloud hinge]

do they get to ||the golden spirit energy twin balls thing?||

[sturdy knot]

In the anime they are just after the fight with Acrobat Silky and Jiji returning at the end of last EP

[crimson lodge]

yes. that's around the middle of the season so far?

[cloud hinge]

okay then yeah you have gotten to the funny bits

[crimson lodge]

"bits"

[cloud hinge]

[crimson lodge]

it's difficult to talk about that show without spoiling things lol

[cloud hinge]

actually also a very good character story honestly

[crimson lodge]

it really is

despite all the nonsense, it's legit a good story with awesome character development

which only makes the nonsense that much better

xD

[sturdy knot]

okay

SLF chapter 203 is INSANE

[warped hollow]

GOD DAMN

[hallow flume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuJWTE5U7Gg

[hidden vigil]

Yes !!!

[cloud hinge]

ohh

[mortal bolt]

Yeeeee

[sturdy knot]

Okay one thing the anime of Dandadan absolutely nailed is the background music when Okarun goes serious Turbo Granny transformation

A remix of the final piece of William Tell Overture

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzOb46wdV1E

There is so much a gound soundtrack can add to a scene. It's insane

[warped hollow]

Hell yes

[mortal bolt]

William Tell Overture makes everything better

[warped hollow]

Indeed

I just had a horrible terrible idea

yall know Pretty Derby? The show about racing horse girls?

Turbo Granny the horse girl.

that is all

[crimson lodge]

smh gurm

smgdh

xD

[hallow flume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxGj6EhwDJ0

[sturdy knot]

Had to repost this because its amazing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOEPmlX27_M

Its the scene in the anime not just the music

Same thing as with SLF
The scene can be only panels but in animation with sound and effects it can elevate it to heavens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKK3N6wMgrg

Example of Shangri La
How it starts

These few panels for the entire song

and the anime entirely shifted the mood , the feel of it

Same with Dandadan
In the panels it was a chase sequence but the Overture / Can Can Remix added so much character to it

The sheer sudden goofy energy radiating from a full throttle turbo granny chase

[reef plume]

Yea

[hallow flume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVrzN-r4MKA

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

[cloud hinge]

that already?

[warped hollow]

apparently

[warped hollow]

I love SAO abridged. (episode 18)

alright now to wait another year for episode 19

[river widget]

Something witty is great

They also did a pretty good waterdeep campaign Kek

[hallow flume]

Loving the animation style in this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfmzZi6z7wo

[mortal bolt]

Oh shit yeah GoHands does great animation

They're really good with small detail work like hair and they can do some great pans when they want to .

[hallow flume]

Masterful Cat is Depressed Again was fun

[warped hollow]

I am. Deeply confused.

[hallow flume]

GoHands' Momentary Lily mixes slice-of-life and action, premiering in January 2025. The anime follows high school girls battling otherworldly invaders and exploring their mysterious past. While the trailer focuses on cute activities, uncertainty remains over how the battles will be depicted.

What in the name of Emiya is this Archery nonsense ???

[warped hollow]

Idk but EMIYA at least used arrows with bows

[reef plume]

That is incredibly stupid

That just doesn't fly straight

[sturdy knot]

well duuuuuh

she isnt using a straight sword

thats a curved one

Also the stupid cosplay lovebirds are on their first date

[reef plume]

It'snot even a curved swordddddd

But that wouldn't fly anyways, it's completely unbalanced. You'd be better off throwing the damn things

[warped hollow]

The more I look at that sword

The more I hate it

[sturdy knot]

obviously not a sword

an arrow

[reef plume]

just because you use it wrong enough doesn't make it something it is not

[crimson lodge]

sworrow

[sturdy knot]

No thats what Owy and Green feel when looking at that

[warped hollow]

I just feel exhausted.

Although that has a whole bundle of factors.

i hope they have a nice holiday x)

they deserve it

they are knocking it out of the park

SLF Episode 11

It's starting
We MIGHT be getting the ARC we are waiting for this season

if this is the half way point

[warped hollow]

Oh hell yeeeesssss

[sturdy knot]

There were 24 Episodes announced for this season

[warped hollow]

Hmmmm

That’s…. Cutting it close

[sturdy knot]

So 11 and this
Means the || Hero Battler Pro Gamer Tournament|| MIGHT be happening

[warped hollow]

MAYBE

[sturdy knot]

yeah it could be cutting close or in the middle of it

[warped hollow]

I’m not getting my hopes up

[sturdy knot]

which would be even worse

[warped hollow]

That’s what I’m worried about

That arc is…. Dense.

Time will tell

Wait so…. ||did the mech arc already happen??||

[sturdy knot]

I hope it goes like this
|| They do the Lycagon fight for maybe 4-5 more episodes+Epilogue of that ( we still need the background stuff to happen) and the remaining episodes to setup the start of Ctharnid and the tease of the pro tournament ||

[warped hollow]

That would be good. Mayhaps.

[sturdy knot]

Yes || this is why they encounter Lycagon after all, Sunraku and Rei on their way to the meeting with Rust in SLF||

https://mangadex.org/title/a846b1d7-2e57-4622-acdf-9c584d07ce7f/tyrant-of-the-tower-defense-game

This is what I was sharing earlier in Wholesome-haus\

So far it's been pretty fun.

Literally the first battle Manwha to make me tear up.

[restive elbow]

I needed another thing to sink days into reading, so I'll take this

[cyan magnet]

I hope you enjoy it as much as I am.

[restive elbow]

I recently caught up to omniscient reader's viewpoint, so a new manhua will be great

[reef plume]

Love that one the pieces

To pieces even

It's very good character writing

[unkempt ivy]

I dunno how much data I have left but it's been grabbing me well, just got to the point where the battle after those crafter leaders are introduced.

[restive elbow]

Read up to chapter 30 and it's good so far, will read more later

[cloud hinge]

tyrant tower defense is great

[cedar totem]

somehow this anime was less sus than it was weirdly wholesome... but it really ended like this

(Do-Over Damsel Conquers The Dragon Emperor)

at least the other characters act appropriately

[cyan magnet]

I...

Ew.

I get that it's a character who returned to their youth, but cripes.

[unkempt ivy]

The books have have good, though I totally forgot about that part.

Deaaamn

DB Daima spoilers :
|| We have canonical SS3 Vegeta ||

Okay now Vegeta is just flexing on that poor dude

Before that Vegeta got his ass handed to him
and now
Man is not even using his hands to fight , just mostly kicks

[warped hollow]

damn

[cloud hinge]

lookit that hair

[cyan magnet]

Is that regular adult Vegeta?

Cause his head looks weirdly kid-ish.

[sturdy knot]

nope

Plot wise they got wished to be kiddos

[cyan magnet]

Weird.

[sturdy knot]

Young Mr.Satan and Roshi is weird

[cyan magnet]

I was wondering if there was a young Roshi

[sturdy knot]

The evil guy wished for those who managed to defeat Buu + their friends to be kids again

as they "feared" they would then invade the demon realm
Its a short while after the Buu saga and before super

[reef plume]

Why not wish for them to be dead?

[sturdy knot]

https://www.fayerwayer.com/resizer/v2/ISYC2B56ORE5RCJGMVFSOGEFCE.jpg?auth=33f58e5398903550ea285f4d706ab56366e4582d8bc2d98f5c9be6f40036872d&width=1200&height=900&smart=true

Shenron has his rules

[reef plume]

Ah.

[sturdy knot]

Death is dark magic and not doable with the normal dragonballs

its actually also brought up in the first episodes

[reef plume]

ah. but life is

[sturdy knot]

The dark star dragonballs would be able to do that wish

Giving life is light magic

[wraith basalt]

I keep forgetting about Ox King. He looks weird as well.

[sturdy knot]

Everyone seems to forget Goku's father in law XD

[wraith basalt]

He doesn't do anything story-wise

Not since OG Dragonball

[sturdy knot]

And that Goku technically is a king by marrying Chi Chi

Dont tell Vegeta tho

[wraith basalt]

Roshi blew up their palace when it was on fire, IIRC, because he ruined the fan that blow out the flames.

[hallow flume]

The S1 finale of Apothecary Diaries is a real tear jerker

[warped hollow]

this looks so dumb.

[warped hollow]

and Shenrons rules are stupid.

[unkempt ivy]

yeah, Apothecary diaries knows how to hit ya

[reef plume]

If anyone's looking for a good Manga to read I personally recommend Cavalier with the Truth. Good story, nice story beats, female protag that is not sidelined in the first ten minutes by the apparent male lead

[cedar totem]

oh, behemoth kitten anime started

[cloud hinge]

uuhhh

[reef plume]

...

I can't say that's a good recommendation for this server, I can't lie

Somehow I'm not surprised with that getting an anime though

[cloud hinge]

isn't that the one with the girl thats way to into the cat isekaid mc?

[reef plume]

Not isekai'd, reincarnated.

It's a very horny series.

[cedar totem]

starts off with skill absorption like slime, so i assume it's gonna be a power scaling nightmare

... elf girl is painfully bouncy

ok yeah, i didn't hear about it being horny before

this is may be bordering on the server's sfw rules

[sturdy knot]

Yeah its ....

edging the rules

I am deeply sorry

but I had to

[cedar totem]

...

anyway, i just heard "reincarnated as OP kitty" and decided i'd watch it

[reef plume]

The entire series is a beastiality joke, my dude

I am sorry, it could've been different, but it is not

[warped hollow]

………

Avoiding that then

[reef plume]

In a win for equal treatment, noboy is spared the horny brush

[prisma perch]

could read Tensei Shite High Elf ni Narimashitaga, Slow Life wa 120-nen de Akimashita ; I Was Reborn and Became a High Elf, but I Got Tired of My Slow Life after 120 Years instead, wondering high elf chill novel

[cedar totem]

well i watched a certain "reviewer" anime, so it'll take a bit of explicit scenes to kick me away from this

[warped hollow]

thats..... uhhh.... positive? I guess?

[cedar totem]

ok unpaused for less than a minute after grabbing that tiny face pic...

just not gonna say

[reef plume]

Nothing wrong if you wanna watch it still

[cedar totem]

i was at least expecting it to be subtle

[warped hollow]

hah. no.

god no.

we're in the age that Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete exists.

I will not talk further about that

in any form

[cedar totem]

"Tama" can translate to "balls" right?

[warped hollow]

I dont know

[prisma perch]

tama means cat doesnt it?

[reef plume]

Yes

It means cat, usually

[prisma perch]

oh jewel as well

jade, jewel and ball

[cedar totem]

well, sfw anime or not, at least there's more anime cat faces to post

[warped hollow]

thats.... nice?

[cyan magnet]

IIRC she wants to breed with him, right?

[cedar totem]

oop, full on nips halfway into the first episode, leaving that warning for anyone else

[cyan magnet]

Yeah, gonna say Behemoth isn't kosher for this server.

That said: Snow White with the Red Hair is quite good: https://www.crunchyroll.com/series/GRZJ7QN86/snow-white-with-the-red-hair

Chelle & I stumbled across it yesterday and have enjoyed it immensely.

[cedar totem]

i remember watching a red hair anime years ago, and i think that's actually it

not sure if i watched s2 though?

[hallow flume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL3eTEn0KXE

[sturdy knot]

Yeah its nice

One that I can recommend in a similar vein
https://www.crunchyroll.com/series/GDKHZEJW0/dahlia-in-bloom-crafting-a-fresh-start-with-magical-tools

Short 12 Episode series

The isekai aspect is little to none btw

Despite what it says in the description there

[unkempt ivy]

light novel starts as someone breaking through gas lighting and developing friendships and fun inventions

is a fave

[sturdy knot]

Okay SLF Episode 12

They either took a massively bass boosted kitty purr as Lycagon's growl or straight up recorded a Harley driving

Those frames

[warped hollow]

Awesome

[hallow flume]

The Momentary Lilly OP is a banger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTdDYP7-KXA

[warped hollow]

........

yeah I do NOT like that opening

metal screaming has a place.... and IMO.... it aint here

[hallow flume]

I think some metal for a post apocalyptic magical girl anime makes some sense

[prisma perch]

it certainly stands out from most anime openings

[restive elbow]

And I'm now fully caught up to it, I want more, but yeah, having to be on trains for around 8 hours with spotty internet means I've read all of this since I could just download all the chapters

[sudden wolf]

oh yeah Dahlia in Bloom, there are TWO manga adaptions (like two different adopters, confusing right?) and I don't know which one is better

[cloud hinge]

like official and fan adaptation?

or two official ones?

[sudden wolf]

I think two official ones

[hallow flume]

there are three

one finished at 2 volumes

[sudden wolf]

THREE??!?

what madness is this lmao

[sturdy knot]

Three ? I can only find 2 variants

and the difference is that they have a different illustrator

[hallow flume]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahlia_in_Bloom
Dahlia in Bloom April 26, 2019 – February 26, 2020
Magic Artisan Dahlia Wilts No More: April 25, 2019 – present
Lucia and the Loom: Weaving Her Way to Happiness: February 18, 2022 – present

one is a spin off focusing on her friend Lucia

[sturdy knot]

Was about to say

[sudden wolf]

so, it's two that focused on main story...

[sturdy knot]

basically the last anime adaptation covers all off the newer version so far

[sudden wolf]

I do love myself more lax and spice of life nowaday
also something as intriguing as 'Death Mount Dead Play' I also welcome

[sturdy knot]

The last two volumes available
Vol 6 was slightly touched IIRC in the anime and 7 will come next year it seems

[sudden wolf]

interesting

[prisma perch]

nother cute one It's Time for "Interrogation," Princess!

[hallow flume]

Why is this such a banger from Bleach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JEjQG4-tpU

[restive elbow]

It's cause it makes you feel like number one

[warped hollow]

Because things were built different back then.

And the main character only ever needed one move.

https://youtu.be/FxgHcgqMJ0Q

[cyan magnet]

Bleach had some real bangers.

Shame the plot kinda waffled after the major soul society arc.

[mortal bolt]

Number 1 was and will always be a banger

[restive elbow]

I still think Aizen interrupting the song mid fight was such an awesome moment

[sturdy knot]

https://animeheaven.me/image.php?suti2

Already fun start

[hallow flume]

That's the one where he got isekai'ed by a scooter?

[sturdy knot]

and then

[reef plume]

oh my god

they did overseas mannager because it's a water pun

[sturdy knot]

The setup

[reef plume]

god dammit

[sturdy knot]

Yep

And yes James

its scooter isekai

But here is the kicker @reef plume
The name is a pun

But the demon lord summoned him not because of the name of the title but the work he did XD

[reef plume]

I mean, makes sense

HR is important in any big org

[modest geyser]

kaiju n8 is only illustrations today

[sturdy knot]

Clip incoming to get a taste

And with Akio Ootuska's voice the demon lord is just perfect

Full Benefits
Cant beat that

[reef plume]

Darn, can't watch at work. I'll watch it after.

[warped hollow]

EHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH

[unkempt ivy]

I've got a few of the manga and it's a good time, This will be fantastic

[restive elbow]

Can I work for this demon lord? I don't even care if it's at the same level, this is a boss that I can get behind even as a low level grunt

anyways, as a dedicated manga reader, I'm gonna read it, so I'm probably gonna have the forbidden future knowledge on the show very soon

[sturdy knot]

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-why-not-take-both-gif-11478682

[restive elbow]

idr the last time I properly sat down to watch an anime

well, actually I do

since it's Re:Zero

but that's an exception

And not just cause it doesn't have a manga adaptation

since I have read ahead in the LN for Re:Zero

[sturdy knot]

34 chapters btw on Salaryman

Last update... 3 months ago

[restive elbow]

Where I'm looking, 68

literally exactly double

last updated a couple weeks ago

although the update schedule is a bit weird

dead for like 2 months, then drops like 5 chapters at once

or 10 actually

[sturdy knot]

hmm Mangadex only has 34

Other sites are all over the availability

have seen now anything between 34 and 68

[unkempt ivy]

right now it has 7 volumes on bookwalker, not sure what chapter that ends up at though.

[cedar totem]

after hearing this, i'd ask if there was a way to freely go between worlds, for holidays and whatnot

[hallow flume]

There is apparently a medical mystery anime which has columbo as a character:

Ameku M.D: Doctor Detective

[cloud hinge]

I... really want to see a Columbo anime now

[hallow flume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWtiYXPEbqs

[reef plume]

You know I picked up reading the Snow White with the Red Hair manga

Really reminds me of Frieren, with how the characters talk.

But it's subtly different too

[sturdy knot]

Gotta wait another week for SLF

arhhhhh its so close

[reef plume]

The one thing that's losing me on SLF is how damn long the fights are.

Like it's cool, but these are some ridiculously long cliffhangers for fights.

[sturdy knot]

Ehh
One Piece is more

and the real fight itself isnt that long really

[reef plume]

I mean, you can't just use one piece as a "Oh but this is longer"

One piece is grossly slow about things

[sturdy knot]

The last fight has been going for 24 chapters yes

but its also against one of the highest monsters of the game

With so far || 4 stages to his fight , even FF bosses dont have that many phases ||

[reef plume]

Remind me, how long was the ||... W something fight, the samurai of fream perfect parry requirements||

[sturdy knot]

Each one feeling like a normal boss fight in itself and averaging 6-8 chapters on those

[sturdy knot]

Ch 31 - 43

Just the fight

[reef plume]

Mmm.

[sturdy knot]

13 chapters

[reef plume]

That's funny.

Considering that our current foe was supposed to be the first one, and the one slated to be middle of the pack was so much shorter

But I see why the current one is the intended starter

even if I think from a game design standpoint and not a manga standpoint both are complete bullshit, lol

[sturdy knot]

Also
|| Wezaemon || was a clear 3 Phase - 10m per phase fight

With || Ctharnidd nothing is really clear ||

[reef plume]

||That's only because Wezaemon was specifically stat locked. Ctarnidd is mostly a gimmick fight without a technical top level cap, and as Sunraku mentioned the hints are in the dialogue... Even if keeping up with that is ridiculous.||

[restive elbow]

I've been enjoying reading this so far, have an amusing out of context panel

[sturdy knot]

yeah

Demon Lord is top employer

10/10
would get isekaied again for new job

[warped hollow]

Collumbo. In Japan.

Damn.

[warped hollow]

My god.

Oh please dont let this just be a teaser

New Opening for SLF

GAHHH

One week

[cloud hinge]

https://youtu.be/gES4Z1ll9nI?si=mSMRINEGkIosGdhp

[sturdy knot]

Ruri time :D

[reef plume]

eyyy

[sturdy knot]

Subtle hints at new dragon power

|| "simple" strength up ||

[modest geyser]

also you can see her horns are getting more and more intricate

[sturdy knot]

Those were already in last chapter

basically because she is happy it reflects that phyisically

[warped hollow]

Don’t do this to me SLF.

[modest geyser]

knew that
was thinking they were getting even more intricate as the day goes on, but I think it was just more close up shots

[reef plume]

Ruri is happy!

[sturdy knot]

Yeah its just we got some more detail shots

like in the last panels

Where you can see they are more angled and not in line

[warped hollow]

DONT DO THIS TO ME SLF. DONT DO THIS TO ME.

||The golden devil. The Star Road herself. Meteus incarnate.||

[warped hollow]

I love this arc so much. re readin time.

||time to traumatize the broadcasts viewers. ehehhehehehehehe.||

good times.

||finally. its time. UNLEASH THE HORRORS. TRAUMA! FOR EVERYONE!||

SLF 131||yeah Im not sure how much of this the anime will actually be able to show....... ||

||gooooood times. psychological warfare. there are few weapons more destructive. (arguably, depending on the context you wish to speak in)||

I love this arc.

okay then auto mod

you uhhh.

you do you then.

psychological warfare? 100% okay.

the words "Gauge Burst"?

heresy. burn it at the stake.

[unkempt ivy]

It's so crazy

[mortal bolt]

RURI

[warped hollow]

OH CRAP RURI DROP

Ruri 27 ||I feel ya man.||

||Ruri did you just..... thats..... okay then. Ruri stronk.||

||I know that her horns change with emotion yes, but they look like they're getting bigger and more detailed still. I wonder if theres an upper limit.||

[mortal bolt]

solo leveling season 2 is good

[past steeple]

does it finally start getting into the juicy stuff? cause season 1 was incredibly slow

[mortal bolt]

Ep1 is redgate

[past steeple]

okay that's better progress at least

[hallow flume]

The Solo Leveling soundtrack is on point

[warped hollow]

I love what Solo Leveling has done in the Anime.

The Igris fight is just... oh. so peak.

[hallow flume]

indeed

[warped hollow]

honestly, Im super excited for ||the Ants||, that was one of my favorite arcs.

great story overall, hope the full thing makes it into an Anime..... but time will tell

[unreal siren]

https://youtu.be/N6xMg5CzJLI

The proper song, not reposted

[cyan magnet]

Hiroyuki Sawano is an absurdly good composer.

Or at least, a great hype one.

His work on Kil La Kill was fantastic, and pretty much was the only reason why Aldnoah Zero was watchable after the second season.

[warped hollow]

...... am...... am I the only person who enjoyed the completely moronic mech show because the fights were kinda cool?

the music was absurdly good I will agree.

[hallow flume]

it was fun

it's how I feel when I say I really enjoyed both Pacific Rim movies

[warped hollow]

like Inaho exploding himself with timed grenades to shoot a guy. that was neat.

advanced eye tech vs a mech that can literally predict the future and fighting within a series of gravity wells, that was neat.

the plot was terrible but MAN those fights were worth it.

[cyan magnet]

Yep.

The first half of season 1 was great, the second half I barely remember. The second season is completely absent from my memory, save for the fights & music.

Having an actually intelligent MC who's capable of out-thinking a wildly overpowered enemy in a mech fight is a really cool idea.

[warped hollow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh11u95kimU

this is one of my favorite themes from the series.

[warped hollow]

the fights were some of the best written Ive seen in a long while....

if only the rest of the plot was as good.... oh well. it was a fun romp, and I recreated Inahos mech within AC6. good times.

a tiny detail, that always makes me giggle, is when the main characters robo eye blinks, his mechs eye also blinks.

thats it. its such a silly detail.

[mortal bolt]

:( I really liked all of Aldnoah Zero

infact now I gotta rewatch it

[sturdy knot]

Recently rewatched Darker Than Black

[modest geyser]

Ok who leaked my youtube feed?

[warped hollow]

idk. but its one of my most listened to songs of all time.

so

[mortal bolt]

Darker Than Black is also really good

[sturdy knot]

I absolutely love the opening

One of the few I will almost never skip

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFD7sSbOxlg

[unkempt ivy]

I need to watch the later stuff of darker, it's weirdly rad

[warped hollow]

delicious

[hallow flume]

it's a cute series so far

[unkempt ivy]

What's the sauce?

Around 40 Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan

The story of a middle aged man doing whatever he wants with the power of 1-click online shopping!
Kenichi, a single man in his 40s, is transported into another world for no apparent reason. As he tries to escape a dangerous forest teaming with monsters, he realizes he has the power to access to a huge online store.

By using this power to exchange goods he found in this new world for cash, and then buying modern ones off the internet, he was able to quickly create a very popular business. However, his goal is to have a slow and leisurely life. Instead of growing his business even more, he decides to settle down and live off of the power of Jeff Bezos.

The mail order life of a middle aged man in other world begins now!

[warped hollow]

His power….. is being an inter dimensional drop shipper.

…….

[sturdy knot]

yes

[drowsy slate]

I had feeling something like what been already....

[sturdy knot]

There was

[reef plume]

I have seen no elss than 10 of that premise

[sturdy knot]

https://tenor.com/view/campfire-cooking-in-another-world-with-my-absurd-skill-anime-wolf-food-gif-27644823

[reef plume]

It is always dumb as hell

Like, the stories aren't too bad, but the idea that it's shopping...

Capitalistic nonsense

[warped hollow]

Ive seen at least 7.

[cloud hinge]

at least the fenrir one isn't a harem story, to my knowledge anyways, just some guy cooking his way into having op familiars

[sturdy knot]

He was just cooking and making offerings for the one Godess that protects him

which then ended up with him having 5 of them protect him in exchange for food

[warped hollow]

Neat

[sturdy knot]

I mean to be fair I notice a trend

Recently all those isekai'ed

30-40 y old

Reborn or not

They know their initial audience has aged

[warped hollow]

Yuuuuuuuuuup

[reef plume]

yep

[sturdy knot]

huh

so far interesting

[cloud hinge]

that bit is kinda hilarious to me, especially because of how against it he was at the start

[sturdy knot]

That dude JUST has his shop as a power

No magic

Tried to frantically survive against some wolf/fox monsters with a sling shot and metal beads

And then hoofed it on a bike with a headlamp

[reef plume]

Oooh

[cloud hinge]

that might be worth reading just for that, any clue if he gets magic later on like fenrir guy did?

[reef plume]

Okay that is a twist

[sturdy knot]

No idea just watching it and it seems promising

He got an Item Box

BUT

its not that uncommon in the world it seems

[warped hollow]

oh. that is..... actually a mildly neat take.

[sturdy knot]

so its not exclusive to him

[cloud hinge]

cause fenrir guy at least did have to learn his magic and even then he' still kinda weak

[sturdy knot]

Yeah at first he tried to scare them with firecrackers

didnt work

then attacked with the sling

[reef plume]

Okay, that's good.

Does he have to pay for stuff or is it just summoning

[sturdy knot]

Payment

He can take and appraise stuff from that world and "sell" them

Conversion ratio

[warped hollow]

oh god whats yen to USD again>

[sturdy knot]

So the small bag of Pepper ( hot comodity as not in spicy but there is a monopoly and corrupt trade regulation ) netter him 107k Yen

1000 Yen are about 6.33 $

[warped hollow]

okay about 1 USD to 160 yen

[reef plume]

I roughly estimate it as a yen is a penny, it's not accurate but it gives you the numbers that make it relevant I feel

[sturdy knot]

Hand sized pouch of pepper corns he sold the merchant who picked him up in the cart for about 685.78 $

[warped hollow]

a yen is a penny and a halfish.

[sturdy knot]

not even

0.0063 $

[warped hollow]

sorry a pen is a yen and a half

[sturdy knot]

1 Yen

[warped hollow]

yeah I.... I should not be doing math when waking up

[mortal bolt]

I always work on the yen is a penny shorthand. Not entirely accurate but close enough

Close enough to make things make sense at least

[warped hollow]

bah

[sturdy knot]

Aaand he made a girl fall for him

[warped hollow]

god damnit

[sturdy knot]

https://tenor.com/view/drawing-titanic-leo-jack-leonardo-di-caprio-gif-5449114

He drew her like one of them french girls XD

[reef plume]

Eh, I expect romance in all of these anyways. Let me guess, she's underaged.

[sturdy knot]

HA

Nah

just about 15 years or so difference XD

[drowsy slate]

[reef plume]

... Ehhhh.

Still weird.

[sturdy knot]

He is 38

[reef plume]

Not as weird.

It's their choice at that point.

[sturdy knot]

yeah

Well the cut was clear XD

[warped hollow]

thats still weird Cryo.

[sturdy knot]

It is not ?

[warped hollow]

I mean fair enough I guess?

[sturdy knot]

I know a lot of pairs with that age gap

[warped hollow]

okay

alright

[warped hollow]

....... WELL THEN.

damn

[reef plume]

It depends on when they met and got together tbh

[warped hollow]

yeah

[sturdy knot]

yeah

meeting at 20+

okay

[reef plume]

and so long as it's not like, a forced relationship

[sturdy knot]

before

ehhhhh

Also

she forced on him XD

[warped hollow]

ehhhhh, see, thats, I mean, Im personally more okay with that

[reef plume]

Eh. It's bad if it's forced from either side

But it seemed like he consented, so go him.

[warped hollow]

oh. OH THAT KIND OF FORCED.

[unkempt ivy]

Ty ty

[cedar totem]

the "bartering isekai" i've enjoyed the most was Sasaki and Peeps, but that's mainly because it kept mixing in other genres

[mortal bolt]

Bartering? Drop the Isekai and watch Spice and Wolf for the upteenth tim

[sturdy knot]

Shoot

I have to watch the new one

[past steeple]

I've heard the new one does not do the original justice

[mortal bolt]

Well that is false because it does

Or at least up to the end of the first church arc. I haven't seen past that

[cloud hinge]

New Aquarion show called “Aquarion Myth of Emotions”

But it has the same character style as Panty and Stocking????

I don’t understand this

I think the first episode came out today

Either it’s an acronym or it’s supposed to be a “moe” art style

[crimson lodge]

I don't think "moe" when I see that art style, it's almost like a weird "almost chibi but not"

[unreal siren]

It could just be an acronym for “Myth of Emotions”

Or they could’ve chosen a Moe art style and then chose an name that’s would make the acronym Moe

Since its early name was “Project AQUARION MOE”

[mortal bolt]

Shangri-La Frontier knows how to pace episodes to make them short as possible

[sturdy knot]

BUT

Nom Nom Nom

We might be getting our little dose of psychopath

"Can we really show this" will be answered

[warped hollow]

damn

[sturdy knot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEd8hAG23pY

Togashi is alive and kicking , making ready this years batch of chapters

[warped hollow]

Damn

[cloud hinge]

i keep forgetting the story doesn't end after Gon

[warped hollow]

Yeah

[sturdy knot]

Gon was just A character of the story

[warped hollow]

Yeah

Kinda funny that

[cloud hinge]

yeah but Gon was also the character we started the whole story with, so it feels weird that his side is basically done

[sturdy knot]

Technically

We started the story with Gon , Kilua , Kurapika and Leorio

[warped hollow]

Ye

It’s just that we mostly followed Gons perspective

[sturdy knot]

Chapter 1 is Gon starting his journey and leaving his home Island via Ship

Chapter 2 on the same ship all 4 meet

Sorry 3

Kilua is the late addition

on the ship are Leorio and Kurapika

[cloud hinge]

Gons also the one we start knowing the backstory of the earliest

[sturdy knot]

Not really

No

[cloud hinge]

hos entire reason for him going to be a hunter, like his dad, is to find his dad

[sturdy knot]

if you say 1 chapter aka start chapter REALLY makes a difference in that we get to know where he lives

Also Gon was never told about his dad by the islanders

The Anime and Manga have VERY different starts

[cloud hinge]

wasn't the manga what was being adapted?

[sturdy knot]

In the Manga he meets Kite - who the one searching for Gin - and came to his home island meeting Gon and told him of his dad

The Anime has 2 versions

and both dont start the same

Both dont have Kite being the one who started Gons journey

[cloud hinge]

i genuinely am asking what is being adapted to what btw, i got it wrong a few times for other series

[sturdy knot]

There are just some changes but there is only a manga

Biggest difference is Chapter 1 here

In the Anime Kite is only introduced WAY down the line

almost towards the current end

Manga he is the start of the journey

[cloud hinge]

yeah but if the manga is whats being adapted to anime, the manga would be the most accurate source for what the mangaka wanted the story to be

[warped hollow]

Yes the manga was first grump

[sturdy knot]

And the "backstory" you refer to is

lukewarm

All that is told in chapter 1 is that Gon through Kite gets to know that his father was a hunter and somewhere out there

End of story and motivation

[warped hollow]

I mean you need to get small town boy out in the world somehow.

[sturdy knot]

Chapter 2 introduces Kurapika and Leorio and both tell their motivation as well

[warped hollow]

Leorio wanted…. Money?

[sturdy knot]

yes

[warped hollow]

Right

[sturdy knot]

Money to be a doctor

[warped hollow]

Ahhhhh

And Killua wanted murder.

[cloud hinge]

it' been a while since read it, but isn't Gon also kinda the reason why Leorio and Kurapika pass the hunters exam?

[warped hollow]

Or whoever the blond child’s name was

[sturdy knot]

Nah

they pass on their own , THEY fight for him

as he was technically disqualified at the final exam

[warped hollow]

“Capture”

Small child you killed ALL OF THEM.

[sturdy knot]

No ?

He killed 1

The one hunting the Spider is Hisoka

[cloud hinge]

Stone cold killer Kurapika bringing a shovel to a duel because he knew he would win

[warped hollow]

I swore he accidentally collateraled others.

[sturdy knot]

1

[warped hollow]

I see

[sturdy knot]

Pakunoda because she broke her vow

so indirect , same as Uvogin

[warped hollow]

Ahhhh

I see

[sturdy knot]

Both died by heart crushed

[warped hollow]

So that’s 2

See. Murder.

Look blondie made the chains.

[cloud hinge]

Blondie made the chains specifically to fight and kill the spider troupe

[sturdy knot]

And Hisoka almost killed Machi but left her alive so she can deliver a message and he killed Kortopi ( the one with the copy ability ) and Shalnark

[cloud hinge]

wasn't that his whole special nen state thing?

[sturdy knot]

His Emperor Time is due to being a Kurta

Which turns him into a Specialist allowing him 100% control over all nen classes as if he was a natural in that
