for the price of burning his life away
#Manga & Anime Zone
sturdy knot
each second burning an hour
and then a massive recoil after it ends
Also he restricted his nen use to be special effects only on the spiders members
binding him with the same vow chain around his heart , amplifying the strength as if he uses it against a non member he dies
On the other Hand
Hisoka has a technically higher body count with just his pure base ability
cloud hinge
so can he or can he not use emperor time against non spider troupe members?
sturdy knot
Did you know that Bungie Gum has the properties of rubber AND gum ?
Emperor time is a state
that is just "his" ability
The anti spider abilities all require emperor time
As they are highly advanced and specialised nen techniques
cloud hinge
but the emperor time doesn't require spider members?
sturdy knot
as I said
Emperor time simply allows him to use all classes as if he was born with it
at 100%
normally the efficiency at which you can use other techniques drops of drastically the further away from your class you go
cloud hinge
yes but can he? yes or no use that when not fighting specifically spider troupe members? because of the whole nen vow thing
sturdy knot
Yes , the Emperor Time is just his ability
As a Conjuror alone he can only do minor things
but with Emperor Time active he can do special tricks
And the spider abilities are so advanced they require multiple conditions
one of them Emperor time
cloud hinge
i gotta reread the manga, cause i only remember him using it for spider troupe
might also be because thats when it had the most impact and it's been a loooong time since i read it
sturdy knot
The time he used it on Uvogin and Pakunoda is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY behind him now
Mind you
After York City Auction where Kurapika kills the two and now with him in the focus there is the whole Greed Island , Chimera Ant AND partially the Chairman ellection arc
And thats also the end of the anime
For 50% of the Anime we dont see Kurapika and Leorio anymore
cloud hinge
i kinda want a leorio adventures spinoff
it feels like he's the one who the story followed the least
sturdy knot
I mean it is kinda
The chairman election arc is about him
and later as well
he is now part of the Zodiacs
Aka
The Decision makers of the Hunter Association
cloud hinge
yeah but i feel like the biggest thing i remember for him is when he punched ging, from a distance
sturdy knot
See that is the anime END
cloud hinge
i wanna see his training arc into being able to do that
sturdy knot
That we wont see and its most likely indirectly
As Leorio was more focused on studying medicine
As Gin said this technique of his is more applicable as a medical skill
But atm
Kurapika AND Leorio are in the focus
And on their way to the Dark Continent
cloud hinge
any clue if Gon's gonna be seen again for the story?
or is he just gonna be living a regular human life from now on? He kinda does deserve it to be fair
he got really lucky killua's sister could heal? revive? uncurse? him
sturdy knot
We dont know
Uncurse is the term that is closest
BUT
He still has Aura
but he cant use nen at this moment
sturdy knot
We dont know
Not a vow
He basically traded all his life for that moment
and Nanika reversed this state
but what it cost or will do
we dont know
Gon was not part of the story after this
cloud hinge
i thought the cost was Killua staying with Nanika forever? or at least the cost for her helping him
sturdy knot
Nanika never asked Kilua anything
And it was just a Zoldyck family thing they did
Only him and nobody else around
hallow flume
I loved the || Itano Circus || from the second episode of Zenshu
sturdy knot
Mysterious alien life-forms invade Earth! Most of humanity is wiped off the face of the planet. John, his sister, and the remaining survivors hope to find a new world to inhabit… But one day, they’re targeted by aliens again!
Basically something like Kaiju #8
Aliens invade earth and with inhuman military experiments they create some humans that can transform into aliens to fight back
Kinda rough style wise
but not a bad way rough
Has been picked up by Shueisha mid June last year and is still running at #18 of their most viewed atm

I.... dont know how to respond to that. so Im going to default to violence.
past steeple
But why, he's just putting MaoMao on his face
hidden vigil
warped hollow
never say those words in that order ever again.
past steeple
It's a correct statement though
warped hollow
no I knnow why Zom is being correct in their statement
I still hate it
yes I know the cats name is in fact MaoMao
warped hollow
watch the episode and see why zom is correct and not being gross xD
not just*
hidden vigil
xD
warped hollow
Maomao, Admonisher of Thieves.
didnt realize the cat had a title from the big E themselves. well done kitty.
cloud hinge
i think I've rewatched the first season more than 10 times over
this somehow became comfort anime
warped hollow
its a very comfort anime
there arent REALLY any stakes.
I mean sure there were a handful of assassination attempts, but poison just makes Maomao happy. its nice and spicy. good kick.
cloud hinge
yeah it's just really good
mortal bolt

Never. The child died from mana poisoning.
I mean poor girl, but no! you bad!
warped hollow
Look man. It’s not my fault by giving her an endless repository of knowledge that she read herself to death
cloud hinge
everytime i see Maomao react to the idea of puffer fish it kinda makes me want to try some tbh
this is not a good thing, but she seems so eager to eat some
sudden wolf
that really need a delicate preps so not to make it tainted with poison >.>
cloud hinge
yeah but she wants to eat it with the poison
sudden wolf
wut??
cloud hinge
ye, she gets really excited at the thought of ingesting and being affected by poison
sudden wolf
a really curious cat, she is... at least she kind of resilliant to them at this point
I can guess, because I never watch that anime
past steeple
Yeah she has resistances to most poisons from constantly testing them on herself
Plus medicines to make her puke them up afterwards
cloud hinge
Maomao "This is a deadly poison".
Also Maomao Sluuuuuuuurp
steel siren
the other people who like to eat fugu with a tiny bit of the poison consider the tinglyness part of the culinary experience
normal people consider fugu a delicacy without the poison
cedar totem

yeees yeeeees the intrigue grows ! maomao will solve it all !
apothecary diaries is really a comfort anime
while also being intriguing
cloud hinge

sturdy knot
Well
Chapter 140 of Frieren is the last one
for now
Author doesnt know where they go with the story so its on hiatus
reef plume
Wasn't it for their health?
still
Good that they're taking the time rather than forcing it. Writer's block is a pain
cloud hinge
Apothecary diaries opening might be one of the few ones I never skip
hidden vigil
if you ever watch ''my happy marriage'' that ones OP is one i never skip... especially if im wearing my headset because with proper surround sound you get all these tingly noises all around you
its really good
cloud hinge
the way the singer sings the Hanne ni Natteeeee bit just lives rent free in my head
unkempt ivy
I really have liked the happy marriage light novel, I need to watch it soon
hidden vigil
highly recommend headphones with proper surroundsound
all the tingly noises
its like...
floating on a cloud
it makes me happy and relaxed listening to it
warped hollow
fun
past steeple
https://youtu.be/EQ-DKvLQlyQ?si=_vwimYOmQLmK1SaM
Unfortunately for me there's just something about the beat of the opening that just doesn't click with me not sure exactly so I end up skipping it
hidden vigil
literally the funny thing is that it was my older brother that recommended it to me
solely on the fact the opening music was good
hidden vigil
https://youtu.be/EQ-DKvLQlyQ?si=_vwimYOmQLmK1SaM
also if we're gonna talk apothecary diaries music / songs this is up there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3LZGOtostE
past steeple
solely on the fact the opening music was good
It do be a good opening
past steeple
Tbh I think the opening I've skipped the least in my times rewatching animes and whatnot is probably the Oshi No Ko opening, it's quite catchy
warped hollow
I skip most openings after listening 10 or so times
past steeple
Oh I typically skip most opening after I listen once
Like first episode ill listen to opening ending and then every other episode I skip
past steeple

Tbh when I first watched this scene I was kinda convinced she was going to be scared by some guard or something and fall in to the moat around the outside of the wall and the entire anime was just going to end there
hidden vigil
something funny... or whatever you wanna call it... when i watched ''Your lie in April'' originally and the like 5 times ive rewatched it since i literally always skip the OP because its too cherry for how much im bawling my eyes out but i can then on the other hand never get myself to skip the ED...

Like just ending the anime showing that she isn't exempt from the expendable-ness of the ladies in the rear court would have been kinda peak writing but I also would have hated it so much
hidden vigil
Your Lie In April made me cry man
it STILL makes me cry
i literally go and rewatch it sometimes when i need a good cry
warped hollow
it STILL makes me cry
that anime was nearly as bait and switch as Madoka
hidden vigil
and cant get myself to do it otherwise

the second ENDING WAS SUPPOSED TO SHOW US WHAT
see: I never watched the endings
so
I dunno
hidden vigil
dude
past steeple
Gah endings are always so much better than the openings
hidden vigil
the second ED ... is literally the emotional gut punch hitting you at the end of each episode of the second half
warped hollow
the second ED ... is literally the emotional gut punch hitting you at the end of...
AND WHY DO YOU THINK I AVOIDED IT
past steeple
Cause a lot of animes will often have mildly changing endings depending on how the story is progressing
hidden vigil
go watch it
hidden vigil
and see that im right about what i said tho
warped hollow
I mean. its okayish
hidden vigil
but yeah i know of madoka i just didnt know the name and havnt watched it.
warped hollow
but uhhhh. idk. I kinda went numb to your lie after the first watch through.
hidden vigil
but uhhhh. idk. I kinda went numb to your lie after the first watch through.
sadge
one less avenue for the good cry
past steeple
One ending that landed me a gut punch was that one ending of NGNL that just removed sora from all the scenes
hidden vigil
a good cry once in a while is healthy
warped hollow
yeah I have my normal problems for that Urutta
hidden vigil
yeah I have my normal problems for that Urutta
gotcha
ive numbed my temper and from that my ability to feel sorrow so it took me 3 months before i got around to crying after loosing my grandad to very quick illness :/
hidden vigil
so me having my pocket picks of anime that make me cry like a baby are kinda necesarry
warped hollow
I getcha. everyone work different.
hidden vigil
otherwise i wouldnt get myself a good cry when i need em
warped hollow
past steeple
Yeah this ending was a fucking gut punch and a half for me when I first saw it: https://youtu.be/fF6c1gqutjs?si=G6Y8Jag6Ty4GcEWL
hidden vigil
Yeah this ending was a fucking gut punch and a half for me when I first saw it: ...
OHHH shit yeah i forgot about this one
warped hollow
oh hey its No Season Ever Again
warped hollow
look this is a self attack
if you are in my own crossfire I dunno what you're doing there
past steeple
At least I got the physical disk with all the OVAs and stuff 
hidden vigil
lucker
warped hollow
Yeah this ending was a fucking gut punch and a half for me when I first saw it: ...
okay seriously whats up with the weird static sounds.
warped hollow
At least I got the physical disk with all the OVAs and stuff <:KazuCopium:837271...
see now that. thats rude.
hidden vigil
its literally part of it
because sorra has been whiped from existence
temporarily
warped hollow
its literally part of it
...... I seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.............................................................................................................
past steeple
It's to show where sora would be but now is gone
warped hollow
was that ever actually relevant?
hidden vigil
i mean for that one thing yeah
past steeple
For 2 or so episodes yeah
hidden vigil
which is why the ED showed it
warped hollow
so. not really.
past steeple
I mean it was for one game he played
hidden vigil
gurm dont make me get the spray bottle again
past steeple
He bet his existence so
warped hollow
and he was a dumbass
also how the hell do you bet your own existence.
thats like
so you can bet metaphysical things?
past steeple
Yeah
hidden vigil
they were betting their whole being so everything involving them
their memories
their feelings
warped hollow
...............
past steeple
I mean he assigned parts of his existence to various pieces to be played
hidden vigil
their existence
warped hollow
as I said: bros an idiot
do not bet PIECES OF YOURSELF
be pieces of other people
they're replacable
hidden vigil
i mean ... it worked for what they needed
past steeple
Has to be an equal value bet
warped hollow
Has to be an equal value bet
yes. I bet, the existence of this person, vs the existence of you. equal trade.
no bet is ever EQUAL
thats nonsense
past steeple
The other party has to consider it equal value
warped hollow
everyone has something different to lose
warped hollow
The other party has to consider it equal value
then no bet is ever equal to me.
past steeple
And as such you can never play a game and never gain anything in that world
hidden vigil
anyways :v another pocket pick of mine for a good cry is ''Your name''
warped hollow
And as such you can never play a game and never gain anything in that world
I have a game its called: I slit your throat in your sleep and stole all your crap.
warped hollow
anyways :v another pocket pick of mine for a good cry is ''Your name''
now there was a good cry.
past steeple
Violence is literally impossible in that world
hidden vigil
im happy to take suggestions for good cry's
past steeple
The gods completely forbade all violence
So it's a fundamental rule of existence there now
warped hollow
Violence is literally impossible in that world
Zom.
I bring to you an old addage.
if something doesnt work.
you didnt do it hard enough.
warped hollow
yeahhhhh
have you seen my rants about Concept Incinerators?
me and writers do not get along very well
anyways good cries
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
no I got nothin
past steeple
Uhhh that one anime where the girl had a mechanical arm and typewriters were important
I can't remember the name
hidden vigil
actually back to one i talked about... earlier today ? the bookworm one :v i cried when she blessed her family :v
past steeple
Ah that's what it's called, violet evergarden
hidden vigil
ah right
yes
watched and rewatched ALL of that
like...
5 times
atleast
cried my eyes out a LOT
warped hollow
quick question: is music/sound producing devices ALSO banned in that world?
I ask for no particular reason.
past steeple
No considering the beastmen have VR gaming
hidden vigil
Ah that's what it's called, violet evergarden
that one episode with violet writing all those letters for the little girl with the mother who is ill and dying...
jesus i cried
still tears me up
warped hollow
it blasts an audio frequency of 3 Hz
in theory. this will make humans immensly uncomfortable and eventually kill them if in their presence for too long.
this is not violence this is my evant garde music performance.
try to prevent my violence WRITERS. JUST TRY ME. I KNOW THE TECHNOLOGY OF WARFARE ENOUGH TO FIND NUMERIOUS, HORRIFIC WEAPONS.
past steeple
Wouldn't work, harm would be prevented, sora/shiro go dropped from multiple kilometers in the sky with no parachute and were unharmed due to the rules of the world
warped hollow
warped hollow
Wouldn't work, harm would be prevented, sora/shiro go dropped from multiple kilo...
thats direct harm
Im just playing music
past steeple
And any harm to their body/mind would be directly prevented
warped hollow
also wait so if harm is impossible, why does anybody need anything?
so is everyone imortal?
warped hollow
And any harm to their body/mind would be directly prevented
including aging and starvation?
hidden vigil
so is everyone imortal?
no
past steeple
You can still age, don't think I saw anyone starving tho
warped hollow
long story short though is, if I wanted to, I could find a way Zom. all rules have bends and breaks.
past steeple
There was poverty due to people being shit at betting and games tho
Also sora does eventually bet other people, he bets the entire race of humans and their autonomy/sentient race status
warped hollow
thats not betting other people thats betting more metaphysical nonsense
and its at such a great scale that he cannot lose otherwise the series would end
have some stakes that could actually be theoretically lost cowards.
also wait is he betting emanity, or humanity.
cause those are technically different
past steeple
long story short though is, if I wanted to, ***I could find a way Zom. all rules...
You are better off bending the rules of the games, since you only lose if you are caught cheating as cheating is defined in the rules
warped hollow
also who's understanding of the rules are these bets made off of?
is it the god who doesnt bother to stop cheating?
past steeple
No, rules are defined and understood by both parties before the game starts
warped hollow
okay
but whos understanding
written contract?
is it verbatum what is said?
what vocabulary is used
whos definitions
past steeple
Verbatim, whatever definition is said in the pre-game rules sesh
past steeple
Sora literally bets on how long it takes for some birds to fly away but doesn't define any rules so just throws a rock at them to get them to leave
warped hollow
so. its all bendy. broken. and worthless.
see prior statement
past steeple
Correct
past steeple
But all the rule bendy is fun for me so I enjoy it
warped hollow
too ill defined of a world. lack of boundaries. lack of understanding seemingly from even the author themselves.
yes writing is hard
I know it is hard
Im actively writing myself
writing rules for a reality then actually following them is part of the process though, and authors who make loose rules that they can purposefully bend or break frustrate me.
anyways
good day to yall
past steeple
writing rules for a reality then actually following them is part of the process ...
I like it since the characters actually acknowledge how shitty the rules are
warped hollow
fair enough

For some reason makes me think of Moments in Dororo
sleek wing
finished Paranoia Agent, the second "brain destroyer" media that he's directed
i would like to chatter more about it—but it's a lot to chew on, admittedly
...and also because the ending isn't "things turn out clearly okay" and it bums me out a little
sleek wing
after letting sit in my mind, yeah. it's a good show, even if (purposefully) chaotic and hard to completely understand at the end
i'm sure it has a pretty heavy commentary on japanese society but i don't have substantial knowledge on that
sleek wing
...and also because the ending isn't "things turn out clearly okay" and it bums ...
for reference on this, though, the ending is good in quality, it just doesn't follow up on the all the characters and has a more neutral ending—i'm weird about how exactly things cap off the epilogues for their characters
perfect blue and paprika tied up their stories fairly cleanly, but paranoia agent isn't really about that
desert latch
Is this a good channel to suggest webtoons I think are decent but not as popular?
prisma perch
i would assume so
desert latch
Webtoon: Housekeeper
Genre: Sci-Fi, (Action/Drama/Tragedy because Apocalyptic scenario)
Description from webtoon- AI robots are fighting against humans... for humanity. The world has fallen victim to a terrible virus, which turns people into zombie-like creatures. The government has decided to eradicate the infected people rather than cure them. But, Hasty, a housekeeper AI robot, cannot give up on her master Navil. She is willing to fight... for humanity.
Note: Well written and combines two popular concepts surprisingly well.
Webtoon: Newman
Genre: Fantasy, Comedy, Action
Description from webtoon- This isn't your average workplace relationship. It's not every day you fall for a girl who accidentally turns you into her love slave, but that's not half as scary as meeting her mother. Oh, and did we mention the monsters? There's lots of those.
Note: Gnome Warrior x Drow Archer working as government employed as monster hunters. Drow culture is inspired by DnD (matriarchal and come from Underdark)

chapter 78 of the web comic
they've been cutting a bit of the Korea focused elements and parts talking about other country's hunters
warped hollow
...... isn't..... isn't that like..... a number of core plot points?
past steeple
not necessarily, they are story enhancements but not a core portion
warped hollow
fair enough? I guess?
mayhaps my memory is jumbling stories together again but the state of affairs in the world and the stances between nations and subsequently their hunters was.... at least reasonably important later on.
past steeple
based on the pacing of the anime, they'll probably be glazing over most of that to show more just jinwoo
hallow flume
they very much become core in the upcoming || Jeju Island arc ||
warped hollow
they very much become core in the upcoming || Jeju Island arc ||
yeah.... pretty.... pretty fairly important there.
warped hollow
based on the pacing of the anime, they'll probably be glazing over most of that ...
the issue with that, is Jinwoo's position is inherently DEEPLY politicalized within the manhwa
hidden vigil
thanks james
past steeple
they are important there but not to the point of needed previous introduction entirely, could entirely be introduced mid-arc and I don't think anime only watcher would suffer too much for it

from what I remember of teh manhwa everything post the upcoming arc was fairly rushed to enter the end game so they'll likely do even more glazing over in the anime if it continues

and to the current episode, || they nerf Yoo Jin-ho's decision to join Sung Jin-woo as being more rebellious than the serious consideration he made against his father's desires ||

from what I remember of teh manhwa everything post the upcoming arc was fairly r...
it was rushed through in the arc itself but it was fairly important in the places where it was, not to mention there was loads of background info built up over time throughout the series. trying to skim through ALL OF THAT in one arc is going to be.... difficult.

the whole thing between korea and japan is still pretty present isn't it
warped hollow
the whole thing between korea and japan is still pretty present isn't it
deeply.
as it turns out the rape of nanking doesnt just go away because Japan refuses to teach about it.
hallow flume
I get things need to be cut, but removing these elements are changing some of the tone and core character motivations. this happened earlier with || Chairman Go Gun's pitch to Sung Jin-woo to join the association, which in the Manhwa was a lot more strongly motivated by balancing the government org versus all these private guilds ||
It's not a deal breaking change, but I cannot imagine the original Korean author being as happy about it compared to other changes
warped hollow
yeahhhhhhh
past steeple
yeah it's certainly still a solid story I think
warped hollow
It will still work as a story it just loses some of the heart?
ish?
I dunno. we'll see how it plays out.
hallow flume
unlike western media changing formats for adaptation, anime has a solid history of remaining pretty faithful to source material, so differences like this stand out more

she has repeatedly threatened a man and attempted to strike him with a hammer larger than herself.
if she thinks she can get away with it, she will.
people like her and myself will commit various atrocities to defend our freetime.
observe. this man aproached her in another attempt to recruit her to his adventuring party.
her response was to summon a hammer larger than either of them and attempt to strike him with it.
because "adventuring doesn't let you clock out"
he interupted her lunch break.

random question, but for anyone who's watched Perfect Blue, have you heard of/believe in the idea that ||Rumi's JP VA is the one speaking in the final line instead of Mima's JP VA||?
it's something that always ends up being mentioned in general talks about it, and something people mention when asking about sub vs dub.
for me personally, i'm kind of terrible at differentiating japanese voices, but I don't really hear that claim nor does it feel consistent
i thought I had seen an interview quote about it, but i'm not sure if it exists

Something interesting I found by binge watching solo levelling from start to finish yesterday. ||Idd forgotten that we see the s class healer in action with beast transform guy and the s class friend of theirs they lost. Which is kinda interesting when I kept the scene of then reminiscing together at the bar in one of the recent episodes. It sorta adds to the scene when you have seen the way they used to be together not long before.||
Dunno if it’s really worth spoiler tagging but whatever
Tldr. I binged the show from start to finish yesterday and noticed things idd forgotten because we didn’t know at the start.

does a time travel story count as its own genre or is it reincarnation?
like say for re:zero if subaru hadn't been isekaid but still had the save point power
wraith basalt
I think time loop differs from time travel as well. Time loop restarts like a save point. Time travel is just going to a different time period. Reincarnation is being reborn as someone else, but generally retaining memories from the previous life.
hallow flume
yeah, time travel has the possibility of return with consequences, reincarnation means you are not that previous person at all
cloud hinge
I can't think a specific one off the top of my head but say the person wakes up back in their own younger self, which one is that?
hallow flume
that is time loop
cloud hinge
wait actually, SSS class suicide hunter kinda has that
cloud hinge
this is a more complex question than i originally thought
wraith basalt
I think Korean webtoons call it regressing or something like that. Since you may go back to a previous self once.
You don't infinitely loop back to a younger self.
hallow flume
they can - Omniscient Reader has that for the one character
