Presumably Nude Model

Oh yeah defo
Though it isn't inherently erotic, I think the way the authour draws the character makes it seem sensual
Like all the lines flow naturally and create enticing curves

@median iron gonna be honest that spoiler is almost impossible to avoid

Omg someone that knows mashle
vivid acorn
||Is it true gon is pretty much out of the story and ging becomes an actual dad?||
jade finch
||yeah sort of. neither gon nor killua show up again in the story||
vivid acorn
||thats so stupid omg||
||kinda wish they’d stay but whatever||
||is the new cast any good tho? Dont tell me who they are||
jade finch
||yeah kurapika is basically the main character now||
jade finch
||i wont say whats happening though||
vivid acorn
||but isnt there a thing he has with his nen basically saying hes only allowed to use it against the troupe||
jade finch
||in the last episode there was a little sneak peak of what he's up to||
||well ill just say||
||there's multiple nen users on with him||
vivid acorn
||honestly having gon and killua not be the main focus is just dumb to me. You hype up these characters, calling them prodigies and showing their incredibly rare talents and sure you develop them enough to see bits of that but it just feels like getting punched in the balls not being able to see them grow up||
||im not hating on kurapika or anything but it just feels like such a waste||
jade finch
||well technically you do see gon growing up||
||kurapika isnt really the main focus of this arc||
vivid acorn
||well by grow up i mean like regular shounen style. Get stronger etc||
jade finch
||yeah i guess||
||i won't say what happens or how it happened, but biscuit, hanzo, melody, and some other hunters are back||
||was that a bit of a spoiler?||

Why are you spoiler marking the words is that a spoiler?
frail python
hxh spoilers
vivid acorn
||doesnt really matter ahyways||
jade finch
because we're having a whole convo in spoilers so i wanted to keep it going
and i just meant that last sentence
frail python
Also its not dumb ||its just kurapika's arc right now, if it ends then we can go back to gon or killua or maybe leorio||
too bad hxh missed 700 chapters!
jade finch
||leorio is back but he doesn't do much||
hard nimbus
i can't imagine ||gon or killua being back since i can't see how they'd be shoehorned in to the new arc||
or in succeeding arcs for that matter
jade finch
||they've had their runs, they don't need to be back||
hard nimbus
||gon achieved his goal of meeting his father, his entire story arc is done||

||killua and alluka could be interesting, but what is there to see from them||

They're fuckign overpowered

Water bending has blood bending so not 1 at most.

But Earth gets the cool shit
If you're a really good Earthbender you can fuck up the entire world

But water men can control them with the water magic.

Mostly only on a full moon

Eh.

Earthbenders can fuckin ||make lava, bend metal, and bend sand. They can melt shit from the ground up, making entire buildings collapse, they can use metal to bend heavy machinery and fire shit like swords and weapons at people rapidly, and sand is sand||
Not to mention that base earthbending is pretty op in that if you can get someone off-guard or have them stand still you can restrain them pretty easy

the episode w chopper and sanji
the episode after it with robin and usopp was crazy though
although i really want them all to be reunited i also dont want them to like
gloss over these stories cuz i think they all got the potential to be excellent
minus sanji's
@steel raven

oh okay
i think i remember reading that stuff but they were just like a few pages
instead of like full on chapters n such

sorry that was zero percent descriptive i mean after kuma sends them all to different islands
really??

SAO is not bad, not good. Just average. However the amount of times there are sexual assault scenes is annoying, but haters also acts like it is the worst thing in existance. Overhated and overrated
If you like VR and game stuff, that's perfect to start or convert
Like it was my first anime and now Im up to date with One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball, Bleach (well waiting for the anime cause I think it'll be better to experience in that way and hype) etc, but even hearing the first opening annoys me so much

But Edens Zero better

Loved that scene
steel raven

hard nimbus
after having read so much of Yamamori Mika's works i've come to the realization
she barely uses any full-page moments
the most would be half a page of a pretty face, which i think makes her mangas distinct in that every page will always have at least 3 panels, almost never less
which sucks for people tryna look for especially good-looking pages because there's barely any without additional dialogue/panels
but in her latest work, Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki, there's been a lot more pages that are fine on their own, which is nice to save to show other people the art to get them interested
hard nimbus
i think mangakas should have more artbooks or concept books or simply outlets for themselves outside of the serialization to be more transparent about stuff
stuff like what the stories could have been, what was rejected and what wasn't, different ideas that weren't put into the manga

yea but he doesn't have ps plus
median iron
eoh is fine on sale but it is NOT a particularly good game
jade finch
Well there is an online feature but its not essential for the game
It definitely is worth the 8 dollars i spent on it
Although I did spend 60+ hours on story mode alone
jade finch
Well i actually really enjoyed the game

but yeah its decently fun, i got a platinum trophy on it
its just incredibly lackluster in certain aspects
like stages, cool story moments, character interactions, dhas, etc

it's just more jojo so i'll probably get it someday
jade finch
We do get to see baby jolyne in it so it's all worth it in the end

it really doesnt matter tbh

The title of the game is spoiling it in a way

@median iron I know the most recent game covers up to the start of Wano but has a bad ending since they didn’t know how Wano is gonna end
Burning Blood is mainly a recap of the Paramount War/Marineford
And the movies exist in their own deal just with the Strawhats picked up during the recent canon
For example I know one movie is about Chopper but it also has another later character for some reason

@steel raven literally every bit of fate zero was insanely cruel
i dropped it for a full year after finishing S1 of it cuz it was just so exhausting
went back and finished it in december or november last year
shut mural
Buff Tinkerbell was good too

Punch fairy dust to the bad guy's face
keen timber
@hearty shell forgot off topic is the shitpost channel lol
as i was saying
i still don't really believe luke's hut scene to be a character assasination but it couldve been set up better
if he commited to it, absolutely it would've been
but i think it reinforces his ideas that the jedi order should die out
the jedi teachings were to disconnect with all emotion and act on pure instinct
hearty shell
I would reference Evans example of mr miagi again. The fact he even considers it falls under character assasination, the character is about to perform an action they never would.
If the theme of the jedi order needing to die out is tied to an awfully written scene, the theme absolutely fails to be delivered
keen timber
his emotions saved him from commiting awful ways
it's a cool mirror of anakin's emotions driving him to slaughter younglings
luke's character saves him from doing what the jedi order would've done
hearty shell
NOOOOOOO, the jedi order wouldnt have fucking killed the kid
keen timber
but him following the order's teachings up until then got him to a point where he would've killed kylo
which is why he refuses to teach another generation of jedi
hearty shell
Thats just not true dude, the entire philosophy of the order is to defend yourself, not to throw the first stone. A kid just sleeping would not throw a stone, the jedi would NOT have killed Kylo, you are basing your thematic equation on a contradiction my friend
Not only that, why would he not do what he did in legends and just teach a better version of the code? Alter it in a way that seems more smart to him and train them in that way?
keen timber
if the jedi order operated under self defence only how did they expand to conquer a lot of the galaxy during the prequels
hearty shell
He would use Kylo as a stepping stone and learn from it, mabye sit on that island for a few months, but get back to himself and would try to save his fucking nephew
keen timber
and if everyone just let them join peacefully why were the CIS a thing?
hearty shell
Because the cis threw the first stone, AGAIN
They threatened the jedi and the republic and so in the prequels they chose to defend their portion of the galaxy
keen timber
the republic was a corrupt as hell institution
hearty shell
I agree, dont mean the jedi were out of character
keen timber
the jedi were blind followers of an actual sith lord during the prequels
never considering why, simply accepting
obi wan never was like "maybe we shouldnt trust this giant clone army we just found"
because it felt like the right thing to do
to beat the CIS
hearty shell
Yes, that is absolutely an issue with the prequels
keen timber
it's not an issue it's the POINT
hearty shell
They do not question the army that they get
hearty shell
No, its a fucking plothole that no one checks out where this army came from
Its a really big one aswell
keen timber
obi wan asks and the alien people are like "uhhhhhh your leader ordered them lol"
and he NEVER THINKS TO ASK MORE INTO IT
because palpatine is like "yeah theyre cool"
hearty shell
YES, THATS A FUCKING ISSUE, I AGREE
keen timber
it isn't a plothole, it's illustrating how the jedi's attempt to be disconnected from everything and neutral makes them really fucking easy to manipulate
because "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
and to fear the clone army would be to reject the jedi order's teachings
so they just
dont
hearty shell
Yes, thats their philosophy, but they didnt KILL ANAKIN
When he was in the same position as kylo, so your rant about the war was fucking useless
MUDA MUDA!!!!!!
hearty shell
Muda means useless...
keen timber
i know
but it just devalues your entire point when you cap it off with a quote from the worst guy in jojo
hearty shell
What? No, my argument still stands
keen timber
or you're just speaking japanese for the sake of it which also is lol
hearty shell
Also, dio is fkn great, stfu
keen timber
if the jedi knew anakin was falling to the dark side they probably wouldve done something
which is why anakin didnt tell them anything
about padme
luke didn't have a palpatine gently nudging him away from thinking about it too hard
hearty shell
In the first fucking prequel, its established that its insanely difficult for the jedi to sense whats happening in the world, because palpatine is meddling with shit
So whatever point you wanna make about manipulation falls flat, because they cant do anything else then what they are given
keen timber
it's literally stated in the prequels that if anakin let the jedi order know about any of his feelings he'd be excommunicated, if not executed
which is why he hides everything
hearty shell
No, nonononono, they said its not allowed
Never anything about fucking execution, you are getting that from nothing
keen timber
ok not executed but excommunicated
hearty shell
And that quote is specifically pertaining that he must not love, he must keep that shit in check
keen timber
that was hyperbole
if anakin came to them saying "i feel like i'm becoming a sith" they'd be like "damn bro get the fuck outta here we dont want any sith"
hearty shell
No, they would probably try to help him
keen timber
even obi-wan doesn't try to talk it out with anakin
meaningfully
he just says "I LOVED U BRO THIS IS FUCK"
then cuts his legs and arm off and burns him alive
padme tried to talk it out with anakin and was making progress
hearty shell
No, he said that after Anakin chokes an innocent woman and tries to kill him
Obiwan was in the right in that moment, dude
keen timber
anakin incapacited padme, he didn't do any lasting damage
hearty shell
HE CHOKED HER TO NEAR DEATH, DUDE!!!!
What the fuck are you on about, are you actually defending anakin in mustafar?
keen timber
he choked her until she passed out
i'm not
but i'm saying obi-wan wasn't good either
keen timber
cutting someones legs and arm off and burning them alive because i am a good person
instead of saying "anakin, please, we don't need to fight. i just want to talk"
hearty shell
He did that when he had NO OTHER FUCKING CHOISE
Anakin would have killed him if he tried that, he even tried talking to him after padme gets chocked
keen timber
anakin: "well from my point of view, the jedi are evil" (actually correct)
obiwan: "well then you are lost time to kill you"
hearty shell
And anakin just goes "if you are not with me, you are my enemy"
keen timber
anakin was an emotional teen being manipulated by space hitler and his only friend was trying to kill him
hearty shell
Obi-Wan never wanted to kill anakin, he said that to yoda
hearty shell
BECAUSE HE WAS GOING TO KILL HIM
keen timber
just pull him up a bit more obi wan
he's paralysed
if you truly wanted to spare anakin
if obi wan truly wanted to spare anakin
he would've pulled him away from the lava river
anakin was totally paralysed
hearty shell
I guess I cooooooould agree that just leaving him to die so horribly there was a bit mean, but Obi-Wan was clearly distrought
keen timber
he couldn't attack
there would be no trap
if obi-wan truly loved anakin like a brother and wanted to save him he would've rescued him
hearty shell
Yeah, and then anakin would have killed him
hearty shell
Obi-Wan tried to talk to him right before the fight and Anakin just shut him off
And then Anakin assaulted him, an experienced jedi knight, it would be out of character for obiwan to just die there
keen timber
i'm aware of that but you have to look at it from anakin's point of view
he's convinced the world is out to get him
hearty shell
I am looking at it neutrally
keen timber
his wife promises to come ALONE
to talk to him
obi wan shows up with her
the obi wan he's been convinced by space hitler palpatine is totally evil
hearty shell
Anakin assaulted his wife, then shut off obiwans request for a chat and attacked him. Obi Wan was in a clear moral right to defend himself
keen timber
and he still doesn't kill padme
despite from his point of view
her bringing an assassin to kill him
he only incapacited her so she wouldn't be caught in the crossfire between him and obi-wan
he spends all fight explaining to obi-wan why he's doing this (the jedi are evil)
then he's paralysed but not defeated
hearty shell
Him even chocking him is an evil act
keen timber
obi wan stood there crying about how "it's a damn shame anakin had to die it's a shame nobody could've saved him"
while anakin was right there
saveable
hearty shell
Yeah, im not gonna call anakin saveable from obi-wans perspective after that fight
keen timber
wdym
anakin was, as i said, incapacitated
he could not have harmed obi wan in any way
obi wan had plenty of time to haul him out of the danger zone
in fact, obi wan ignites his lightsaber first
anakin attacks in retaliation
keen timber
after checking padme is very much alive simply unconcious
you've defined luke igniting his lightsaber as being about to attack kylo
hearty shell
I will repeat what I said AND some other info: Anakin murdered Mace Windu, hundreds of jedi, including younglings in the jedi temple, chocked his wife, attacked obi-wan after MULTIPLE statements that he doesnt wanna fight "chancelor palpatine is evil, listen to reason" "My loyalty is with the republic" "dont try it" and still, so he is forced to put Anakin down. OFCOURSE, he would have to give critisism of what the fuck he just did
keen timber
surely obi wan igniting it first would be a sign he's going to attack anakin
hearty shell
Well obiwan and luke arent the fucking SAME!!!
Im talking with luke about the intent to kill
keen timber
obi wan had the intent to kill too
hearty shell
Where do you get that from?
Him igniting it? I see that as a promise of "if you are gonna attack me, I will defend myself"
Especially based on his dialogue
keen timber
obi-wan nonetheless instigated the conflict
even if it was just a show of "i'm ready to attack"
it took it from talking
to fighting
hearty shell
No, I will keep my position that Anakin made it very clear that he was going to attack obiwan if he didnt specifically comply with him
Yeah, because Anakin refused to have a chat
All of obi-wans actions were in response to Anakin talking about how he will kill anyone in his way and that he has brought peace and justice to his dictatorship
keen timber
also, notice how anakin's eyes don't become sith yellow until obi wan abandons him
until then, he wasn't a sith
anakin genuinely believed he was doing what was right
and obi-wan said "Nah" and ignited his lightsaber
hearty shell
Yeah, and he threatened and attacked obiwan in his right think
Im not gonna base my argument off of eye color, anakin was acting incredibly dangarous to obiwans survival that entire time
ANAKIN KILLED CHILDREN, FFS
keen timber
the eye colour had an intentional shot on it transitioning
it's not like "Oh thats just a coincidence"
it's a deliberate point where we see anakin go from misguided to evil
hearty shell
Yeah, im not gonna defend the murder of children as being "misguided"
keen timber
and it's the moment obi-wan truly gives up on anakin
he was a hormonal teen told to suppress all of his feelings by an unfeeling empire and manipulated by the most evil man in the galaxy
hearty shell
Yeah, its pretty understandable and is an action I would probably take.
Yeah no, thats not a hormonal teenager, hes in his 20's in rots, thats a school shooter
Also, he was able to vent all of his emotions to love when he would be around padme, all he needed to do is put up a facade
runic vigil
anakin genuinely believed he was doing what was right
That just makes Anakin a fucking idiot
I'm doing what's right by KILLING CHILDREN
keen timber
i didn't say anakin did good things or wasn't a damn fool
he was a fucking idiot
but he wasn't an evil person at his heart
he was tricked by the evilest man alive
runic vigil
I'm sure every evil person in history also thought "I'm doing the right thing"
keen timber
fuck off eriksonn nobody asked your opinion
runic vigil
Don't be rude
keen timber
don't butt into conversations that you aren't a part of
hearty shell
No, Erik, you can stay
He is absolutely an evil dude at that moment. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions"
runic vigil
Indeed
Also apparently i'm not allowed to give my opinion or join a convo lul
No, Erik, you can stay
Also i left cuz i went to buy bread
shut mural
As somebody who buys and reads star wars books
Y'all care way too much about star wars
runic vigil
I just wanted to add to the convo
I stopped caring abt Star Wars after fucking Last Jedi
I wish i didn't watch that lmao
hearty shell
No, we just had a chat about it
steel raven
I mean, ollyy had some fair points I agreed with, but he was a bit rude to everyone who tried joining the conversation with the opposite opinion, so that really diminishes from his point
steel raven
Can anyone who watches Fate explain to me why there's a magical girl spinoff with lolis kissing, a slice of life spinoff, and the gacha game is canon with its own animated movie?
steel raven
Even the characters I had hope for like || kariya || just ended up falling into the same hole that everyone else did.
runic vigil
Can anyone who watches Fate explain to me why there's a magical girl spinoff with lolis kissing, a slice of life spinoff, and the gacha game is canon with its own animated movie?
@steel raven I can't
I wish I could
Explain Kalaide but I can't
All I know is I'm going to hell for watching it (even tho I didn't enjoy it till part 2 of season 2)
Kalaide S1 disgusting has 1 good fight
S2 p1 pretty meh still disgusting
S2 p2 fighting gets better, jokes are actually funny
S3 fucking awesome
Kalaide movie has the most badass Shirou in Fate
The slice of life spinoff is epic (it's also canon kind of)
Because most of the scenes in it happened in Fate/Hollow Atraxia which is the canonical sequal to original Fate
And FGO is a mess anime wise
steel raven
I just finished Fate/Zero. Guess it's time for Unlimited Blade Works. So I'm guessing Shirou is the main character of fate and I learned his backstory before actually seeing the stuff he does. I really enjoyed it. At some points, I felt uncomfortable watching the show, but I'm guessing that's what they were going for
steel raven
Don't worry, I got grilled for it already on the Fate server
runic vigil
Also
If they said skip Fate/Stay Night (2006) don't skip it
It's great
It's also one of the 3 main routes of OG Fate
Unlimited Bladeworks and heaven's feel being the other 2
steel raven
Yeah, I guess I'm playing the visual novel now
Because everyone keeps saying to play it
runic vigil
You don't have to
You can if you want to
But the visual novel's routes are all animated
tho the 3rd movie of Heaven's Feel hasn't been subbed yet and i've been waiting for like 3 months
silver talon
you played the vn?
steel raven
I guess I shouldn't have expected an easy to watch series by choosing Fate
runic vigil
I guess I shouldn't have expected an easy to watch series by choosing Fate
@steel raven It's easy to watch
Let me grab my list
Fate Stay Night (2006), Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Bladeworks Prologue, season 1 and 2, Fate/Stay Night Heaven's Feel movie 1 and 2 and pray that the 3rd movie has subs by the time you get to it,
Today's Menu for the Emiya Family (yes that's it's name, wholesome!!!!!), Fate/Zero season 1 and 2, Lord El-Melloi II case files, Fate/Apocrypha, Fate/Extra: Last Encore, Fate/Extra Last Encore, Fate/Kaleid Liner (i am not naming all that shit cuz that's a whole mini show on it's own, an anime within an anime, and it starts horribly but gets so ungodly good!)
There's my list
In order
steel raven
After I play the game, I'll watch UBW, then HF, then Stay Night, then I'll watch Apocrypha and the slice of life. First Order too I guess
runic vigil
I recommend all of them lmao xD
steel raven
I'd rather not watch Kaleid liner, but I'll watch it if it's really good
silver talon
and the vn order? i dont really want to watch the anime
runic vigil
As far as i know there is only fate/stay night vn and Fate/Hollow Atraxia vn
And FSN vn has the 3 routes that happen in FSN2006, UBW and HF i think
I'd rather not watch Kaleid liner, but I'll watch it if it's really good
And as i've said, starts horribly, then becomes amazing
silver talon
have you played the vn or not @runic vigil
silver talon
mhm
runic vigil
But i can confirm that the thing to do after the 1st vn is play Hollow/Atraxia which is the sequal to FSN vn
steel raven
i just watched zero, ubw and skipped heaven’s feel 😎
Now i’m watching aprovypliptica or whatever the fuck its called
weary temple
sub definitely
runic vigil
i just watched zero, ubw and skipped heaven’s feel 😎
Truly a mistake my guy
runic vigil
Doujins are fan made shits tho

Like I said
There's 2 right ways to get into Fate
Pitou, Youpi and Pouf be like
“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”
shut mural
It's an inverted Ultraman fanfic through a Mobile Suit Gundam lens, of course it does
Would be weird if it didn't given the influences
steel raven
NGE is really good. I still haven't finished it, but that's just because if I don't binge watch it, I won't finish it for a long time
shut mural
Still can't wait to see how Anno's actual Ultra movie turns out, it's cool how his career finally came full circle
I liked Shin Godzilla and love Ultraman
So Shin Ultraman should slap
weary temple
I dont think NGE is the best thing in the world but its at least decent
Ive definitely seen everything it tries to do much better in other places
ocean crow
I just like it for what it is rn
shut mural
Oh absolutely like I would rather watch actual Gundam or actual Ultra than rewatch Eva but like
I dunno I get it
As somebody whom likes the things Anno liked growing up what prompted him to make it, I can fucks with it
ocean crow
O shit theres a penguin
steel raven
Look, no one else is gonna tell you this, but on the final episode, || it's revealed that all of NGE was actually a buildup to the 2007 animated movie Surf's Up ||
weary temple
||the human instrumentality project only existed so that gendo could get enough money to animate Surf's Up ||
and this is canon
steel raven
The rival company, I can't remember which episode was trying to || animate Happy Feet ||, but it didn't work out for them
weary temple
good
fuck the rival company
||animating happy feet|| would only bring suffering to humanity
steel raven
Don't forget that the animated movie the end of Evangelion has || them succeed. || And now because of it, we're getting ||happy feet 3 || soon

DUDE MARK THAT LINK AS A SPOILER

Anyway, in short, that's why it took 10 years for us to get Surf's Up 2: Wavemania
