[slender skiff]

As an antagonist

[unkempt briar]

Ofc he hasn’t

[slender skiff]

Yuni let's be real

Which millennial hasn't used Wikipedia

[unkempt briar]

Can you imagine yami looking things up tho

[slender skiff]

School?

[unkempt briar]

My school kept telling me “wiki bad, use our online library :)”

[slender skiff]

I mean

It is

But that's the first place people usually turn to anyways

I usually use Wikipedia to find sources to get citation from

[unkempt briar]

I mean how else can you explain confusing Wikipedia for mal

[trim swan]

"yami"

[slender skiff]

Yami hasn't used Mal in an eon maybe

[trim swan]

[grizzled acorn]

yami actually only has a tv that broadcasts anime he doesnt want to watch and an iphone 4 that cannot close discord

that would explain it, methinks

[echo quiver]

i like sushi

[unkempt briar]

That explains a whole lot

[echo quiver]

k-on reference. yes.

[unkempt briar]

Nights how are you liking Gurren Lagann so far

[grizzled acorn]

like, 6-7 out of 10 probably?

[echo quiver]

gurren dies in the end

spoiler

[grizzled acorn]

I really like kamina but ||he kinda died||

[echo quiver]

i still dont know what gurren lagann means

[grizzled acorn]

its sanskrit for "ligma balls"

i think

[echo quiver]

oh

okay

let me update that on wikipedia

[unkempt briar]

I don’t like mecha usually but Gurren Lagann was a strong 8 for me

[slender skiff]

I never actually finished it

Cos I keep on forgetting where I stopped

So it's an endless loop of me watching like the first third

[grizzled acorn]

idk why im struggling to get invested in gurren lagann

i really cant tell you

[echo quiver]

it like

[unkempt briar]

It’s not for everyone that’s for sure

[grizzled acorn]

episode 8 went really hard but thats it really

[unkempt briar]

Gainax shows have this weirdness to them

[grizzled acorn]

yeah i didnt like eva much either, so maybe i just cant get behind gainax

for some inexplicable reason

[unkempt briar]

Main thing I appreciate about gainax is they put a shit ton of passion and personal identity in their work

[echo quiver]

its main strength are the feels

you feel happy

and you feel sad

[slender skiff]

No Yuni

It's not that

You forgot what gainax is most famous for

[echo quiver]

what's a gainax

let me check wikipedia

[slender skiff]

The studio

[echo quiver]

oh

[slender skiff]

That made Eva and Gurren etc

[echo quiver]

never heard of them

[unkempt briar]

They are a studio with a vision, not just a studio that animates like A-1

[grizzled acorn]

i need them to put in at least 8mg of child labor into their products.

[slender skiff]

No Yuni

They are famous

For their boobs

And no that was not the punchline for a joke

I'm serious

[unkempt briar]

Yes ik

They revolutionized booba bounce animation

[slender skiff]

^

[echo quiver]

i dont remember any in gurren lagann

[grizzled acorn]

a-1 may just animate but they animate well i think

[unkempt briar]

a-1 is super hit or miss

[grizzled acorn]

you forgot the literal boob character?

[slender skiff]

I mean

Aqua

[echo quiver]

who???

[slender skiff]

Yoko

[echo quiver]

there were two girls

wuh

[grizzled acorn]

???

[slender skiff]

The one dressed like a stripper

[grizzled acorn]

Aqua?

[echo quiver]

nono, she was flat no?

[unkempt briar]

yoko starts off as 14 btw

[slender skiff]

No wtf

[echo quiver]

idk

[slender skiff]

Yoko is like

[echo quiver]

why yall looking at 14 year olds

[slender skiff]

A lot of guy's childhood TV crush for a reason

She certainly doesn't look 14

[echo quiver]

because of that one bullet scene in the op

[unkempt briar]

because she def doesn’t look 14 kek

[grizzled acorn]

the 14 year old is occupying my whole damn monitor

[echo quiver]

with all the raining bullets

and no clothing

[echo quiver]

ya. she cute

[slender skiff]

There's enough to be seen from this crop alone

[echo quiver]

idk. i dont look at people's chests

[unkempt briar]

then why are you in this server

[echo quiver]

just at their tummies and faces

[grizzled acorn]

dont try to take this moral highground you dont have a god damn option when yoko is on screen

[echo quiver]

wholesome anime girls

[slender skiff]

You're playing AL

[echo quiver]

wholesome

[slender skiff]

Don't give me that crap

[echo quiver]

[grizzled acorn]

he isnt playing it, hes got it farming while he stares at yoko's face and tummy

what do you not get

[echo quiver]

i like sushi

[unkempt briar]

There’s like a 5 minute music video of nothing but yoko fan service, you can find it on YouTube

[slender skiff]

Seriously

Like

[grizzled acorn]

wheres the 5 minutes of Kotomine Kirei fan service?

[unkempt briar]

https://myanimelist.net/anime/6548/Tengen_Toppa_Gurren_Lagann__Kirameki★Yoko_Box_-_Pieces_of_Sweet_Stars

[slender skiff]

Yoko is your 😭 before it was ever a thing

[unkempt briar]

it’s just non stop yoko fan service in all sorts of cosplay outfits

[slender skiff]

For me

Gurren Lagann stops and ends at the OP

Sorairo Days is a bloody legend

[grizzled acorn]

kinda based, the op goes hard

[slender skiff]

More so than Cruel Angel Thesis

[grizzled acorn]

cruel angels thesis is good but overplayed

fly me to the moons better anyways

[slender skiff]

Like which anime was it

Ah right

[unkempt briar]

Faccs

[slender skiff]

Saekano somehow got permission

To perform a full cover of Sorairo Days

Within the anime

I'm still not sure how they did it

[unkempt briar]

still not enough to save it from being trash

[grizzled acorn]

im gonna listen to the gurren op now, thanks

[slender skiff]

Saekano honestly

For it's issues

Is one of the better romcoms

[unkempt briar]

saekano MC is pure cancer

[slender skiff]

No he's a pure otaku

[grizzled acorn]

man i really dont know my romcom lore, idk wth saekano is

[unkempt briar]

Ngl romcom is inherently a bad genre imo, you need to try super hard to make a good one

[slender skiff]

Have you heard of Kato Megumi

[unkempt briar]

[echo quiver]

i like skeleton knight

[slender skiff]

Aqua, before I make you a skeleton

[unkempt briar]

Literally the only good thing about saekano

[grizzled acorn]

the answer is no

[slender skiff]

I would say

It's the classic romcom of the 2010s-2015s

"classic"

[grizzled acorn]

ok I blatantly lied ive seen her before. just didnt recognize the name

[slender skiff]

Maybe you've heard of the English name
How to raise a boring girlfriend

[unkempt briar]

I’m sure there’s way better romcoms between 2010-2015 than saekano

[grizzled acorn]

like Golden Time!!

[unkempt briar]

also romcom needs the com part

[grizzled acorn]

thats pure nostalgia talking though

[slender skiff]

I just did a quick run through

The only one of note imo

Is literally yes, golden time

And even that has issues with the ending

[grizzled acorn]

💪

[slender skiff]

Ah wait

I forgot ore monogatari

And oregairu started during that period too

[grizzled acorn]

middle-school me was on it, romcom fiend

[unkempt briar]

tatami Galaxy is almost a romcom it has rom and it has com

But no one considers it one cause it’s more of a psychological mystery

[grizzled acorn]

well if we're going there

yeah i think fate zero was the most notable romcom of 2010-2015

[unkempt briar]

Poggers

[unkempt briar]

Nah steins gate best romcom

[grizzled acorn]

oh true that did air in 2011

[unkempt briar]

it has rom, and it has I’m mad scientist is so cool

[grizzled acorn]

thats actually it

[slender skiff]

I filtered romcom

[echo quiver]

is anything more sacred than the love between an otaku and their anime

[slender skiff]

Steins gate didn't actually come out

[grizzled acorn]

steins;gate episode 1-11 was the best romcom of that time

wdym?

[slender skiff]

Most of the good romcoms are from 2005-2010

[grizzled acorn]

ah hes changing it up on us

[slender skiff]

Steins gate didn't come out when I filtered romcoms

[unkempt briar]

Is this anilist that has a romcom filter?

[grizzled acorn]

mal has it too dont let the anilist temptress deceive you

[slender skiff]

My point was
There's not much in the way of good romcoms from 2010-2015

Most of the good ones are from before that period

Keyword being "good"

[grizzled acorn]

theres like 2 of those

[slender skiff]

Unless you count idk
Nisekoi

[unkempt briar]

what are good 2005-2010 romcoms anyways

And don’t say toradora that shits overrated

[grizzled acorn]

do you count bakemonogatari?

[slender skiff]

The first that comes to mind is toradora

[unkempt briar]

[slender skiff]

It's not

[grizzled acorn]

he said the thing

[slender skiff]

Honestly not overrated

[grizzled acorn]

its got the romance and its got the comedy idk

[unkempt briar]

definitely overrated, fuck toradora

[slender skiff]

I mean you're the person that said fuck lycoreco

Can't say I'm surprised

[unkempt briar]

I don’t hate toradora, it’s like a 5/10 for me. I just think it’s not good

[slender skiff]

It's definitely good

I would count bake yes

Bake is from 09

[grizzled acorn]

i havent watched it but i have one friend who likes toradora and hes a psychopath league player that watched dragon maids 14 times

[slender skiff]

I have so many questions

About that one sentence alone

[unkempt briar]

Toradora fans in a nutshell

[grizzled acorn]

ask away ive got answers

and left out the detail that he is a furry, decisively

[unkempt briar]

Oh shit NHK is from 2005-2010

[slender skiff]

I mean nights

[unkempt briar]

Tho idk if I’d consider NHK a romcom, it has super unhealthy rom and super dark com

[hoary steeple]

sorry what do you mean by nhk

[echo quiver]

the girl with the eyepatch was nice. just not season 2 or part 2 or whatever that nightmare of an ending was

[unkempt briar]

Welcome to the NHK

[slender skiff]

I'm sure

Half the people on this server

[hoary steeple]

like the NHK

the japanese tv

[echo quiver]

new hong kong?

[slender skiff]

Are AK players

[unkempt briar]

yuh

[slender skiff]

And a portion of that

Are furries

It's fine

[hoary steeple]

interesting

first time hearing that

[slender skiff]

I'm sure it's smaller than the proportion of lolicons

[grizzled acorn]

😭

[unkempt briar]

Most people in this server prob wouldn’t like NHK cause it’s anti escapism and makes you feel like trash

[grizzled acorn]

not saying its a bad thing but it builds character for the man

[echo quiver]

ba has a 10 minute ona

BA anime when

[grizzled acorn]

not to offend any furries in chat (please do not acquire my IP address and come to my house)

[slender skiff]

Ok let's check 2010-2015s

[unkempt briar]

2010-2015s has sakurasou which is pretty decent

And way better than saekano

[grizzled acorn]

it has uhh. monogatari season 2!!!!

[slender skiff]

2010
Kaicho wa maid sama
Kami Nomi
Baka Test
TLR 2
Oreimo
For notable ones

[slender skiff]

Sakurasou as a stand alone is fine
The LN can fuck off

[unkempt briar]

if we’re considering monogatari as a romcom then we should consider tatami Galaxy

[slender skiff]

Sakurasou's ending

[unkempt briar]

Which destroys every other romcom in that case

[slender skiff]

Is about as bad as haganai

Or domekano

[unkempt briar]

What LN

[slender skiff]

In my opinion

Sakurasou's

[unkempt briar]

sakurasou is an original anime it doesn’t have an LN

[slender skiff]

It has a horrible ending

[unkempt briar]

ender must be confused

[slender skiff]

Yuni, escapism is not good

Sakurasou is not an anime original

It's based on an LN

[unkempt briar]

Silly ender

[slender skiff]

By the same guy who goes on to write aobuta (bunny girl senpai) later

[unkempt briar]

sakurasou never had a light novel, and usagi drop never had a manga

Get with the times

[slender skiff]

Well you more or less proved my point

I'm ignoring sakurasou for this reason

[unkempt briar]

why would you ignore sakurasou for that

[slender skiff]

I guess it's fine as a stand alone

I just really really didn't like where the story goes after it

[unkempt briar]

the bad LN doesn’t affect the anime

[slender skiff]

Toradora is the same

Anime ending is worse than the LN

[unkempt briar]

that’s like saying promised neverland s2 makes s1 trash

[slender skiff]

It does ruin the whole package

[grizzled acorn]

promised neverland never got a s2

[slender skiff]

[unkempt briar]

but it doesn’t make s1 worse

[slender skiff]

Escapism isn't good nights

[grizzled acorn]

are you speaking of this hypothetical s2 that isnt real?

[slender skiff]

But yes let's see 2010 properly

Kaicho wa maid sama

Average

[grizzled acorn]

like if it was hypothetically not a good season 2 that did EVERYTHING WRONG, yeah i do agree it doesnt make s1 worse

[slender skiff]

Nothing bad or anything

Baka test is more of a pure comedy

Oreimo is oreimo

[unkempt briar]

2010 is tatami Galaxy beating the shit out of every other romcom so we can move on to 2011

[slender skiff]

The world god only knows...

Well the manga ruins it too

[unkempt briar]

2011 is uh monogatari s2 and steins gate ep 1-11 beating the shit out of every other romcom

[slender skiff]

Haganai

[grizzled acorn]

im seeing a pattern here

[slender skiff]

Shit

So it is out too

[unkempt briar]

Oh wait monogatari s2 was 2013

[grizzled acorn]

Nisemonogatari was 2012 and monogatari second season was 2013/2014 i thought?

[slender skiff]

IS... Uh obviously ignore it

[grizzled acorn]

yeah

[unkempt briar]

Which monogatari series was 2011 again

none of em rip

[grizzled acorn]

maybe kizu

[slender skiff]

Kizu is late

Lmao

2017 iirc

[unkempt briar]

Kizu is like 2016

[grizzled acorn]

you right

then none of them

[unkempt briar]

2011 is steins gate ep 1-11 then

[grizzled acorn]

W steins;gate

[slender skiff]

2012
Sakurasou
Acchi Kochi
TLR Darkness
Highschool DxD
Chuunibyou

[grizzled acorn]

2012 is nisemonogatari, 2013 is monogatari second season, 2014 is UBW

[slender skiff]

My Little Monster

[grizzled acorn]

glad we got that out of the way

[slender skiff]

We are not counting ubw as a romcom

Get a grip

[grizzled acorn]

theres romance and Kirei is funny

??

[slender skiff]

The day I count ubw as a romcom

[grizzled acorn]

the day the genre gets good

[slender skiff]

Is the day I count Mushoku as a romcom

[unkempt briar]

When rin said the archer class is really made up of archers I lmao’d into the next dimension

truly a romcom

[slender skiff]

There is romance
There is comedy
But that doesn't mean it's a romcom

[grizzled acorn]

just because youre correct doesnt mean youre right

[slender skiff]

It's not the focus

If not stuff like Zero no Tsukaima and Shakugan no Shana would also be romcoms

And I think most people would not count them as such

And yes, those are 2012

[unkempt briar]

But yeah romcoms are inherently bad, you need to do a lot of extra work to make a good one

That’s why there’s so many trash throwaway romcoms

[grizzled acorn]

fine, we can give 2014 to Tsukimonogatari

[slender skiff]

No Yuni

[echo quiver]

but they sell so it's ok

[slender skiff]

That's the isekai genre

Not romcoms

[unkempt briar]

Why not both

[slender skiff]

And isekai sells way more

[echo quiver]

isekai also sells so it's ok

what was that one anime... paladin knight of a promised faraway land or something

it really has nothing to do with isekai

[grizzled acorn]

you could be talking about any of em rn

[echo quiver]

but it's an isekai

[slender skiff]

2013
Hatamaou
Monogatari s2
Oregairu
Date A Live
Henneko
Golden Time

2013 feels like the strongest lmao

[grizzled acorn]

holy shit date a live is a show i forgot about that

[unkempt briar]

nowadays for a good romcom you either need a unique gimmick ||like kaguya|| or super iconic characters
||Like kaguya||

[slender skiff]

A lot of big series started during 2013

[echo quiver]

it has like 4 seasons, a gacha game, and collabs

[grizzled acorn]

nah ender, 2014s got some real competition. Parasyte aired that year

[unkempt briar]

parasyte based romcom

[slender skiff]

4 seasons, 3 movies, a 5th season in the works, 2 VNs, a gacha game and many collabs

[grizzled acorn]

when Shuichi ||put the dead dog in a trash can when he was on his date||... i felt that

[unkempt briar]

henneko is one of the worst shows I ever watched

[slender skiff]

It's quite impressive what DAL has achieved

[echo quiver]

god damn. this franchise almost has as much funding as priconne. and priconne anime is actually good

animation wise

[grizzled acorn]

I havent thought about date a live in like 6 years minimum

[echo quiver]

story is meh

[slender skiff]

DAL literally got s4 this year

And it was quite big

[grizzled acorn]

yeah but im not watching it

[slender skiff]

Cos kurumi got her arc

[echo quiver]

why is dal getting so much stuff. i dont know anyone who plays the gacha game

[unkempt briar]

after that one DAL movie, something judgment

[grizzled acorn]

Kurumi is a walking L, yoshino was best girl? i think?

[slender skiff]

Or at least, started to

[unkempt briar]

I just couldn’t anymore

[slender skiff]

One word: Tsunako

[echo quiver]

hell, i didnt even know the gacha game existed until i was 3 seasons in

[slender skiff]

The artist is very famous

[unkempt briar]

I would unironically support a DAL x AL collab btw

[echo quiver]

[slender skiff]

Tsunako also did the character design for the entire Neptunia franchise

And for the more recent, yes, engage kiss

Gacha game is trash tho yes

[echo quiver]

isn't that just the same character recolored like 4 times

neptunia

[slender skiff]

Nope

[unkempt briar]

[echo quiver]

and surprisingly has no anime that i know of

[unkempt briar]

it has an anime

Not a good one but it has one

[echo quiver]

really? huh

[slender skiff]

2 seasons I think

Or 1 and a few OVAs

[unkempt briar]

I think just one season + ova

[slender skiff]

It's a VN technically

Well, several VNs now

[echo quiver]

engage kiss main character is pretty good. and that delivery girl

[slender skiff]

Which is why DAL also spun off into a VN

2 of them
Or was it 3

Can't remember

[echo quiver]

i stopped watching it though since the show is sooooo boring

bad guy shows up. they take it down. guy says something cryptic or sad. next episode same thing

[slender skiff]

If you dropped it on S3 it would be more understandable

[unkempt briar]

anyways I’m off to watching Zombieland Saga, an actually good show bye

[slender skiff]

Cos S3 was

Uh

Very very bad

[echo quiver]

zombieland saga next season when

[slender skiff]

S4 knocked everything out of the park

And before we forget

Oregairu started in 2013

[echo quiver]

i need my season 3 of badly animated dancing zombies

[slender skiff]

It's very hard to ignore oregairu

[stable herald]

is this a new manhwa, i only see like 4 chapter....

[echo quiver]

handholding in chapter 4?

[grizzled acorn]

nefarious

[echo quiver]

my manhwas dont update until weekend

[stable herald]

Shes hot ngl

And the thighs

Worthy of a Knight

[echo quiver]

you need the leg muscles to fight good

[stable herald]

Hes a decently handsome lad AAAAAAAA

Lmao the girl

isk if shes rlly that stupid or....idk

[ivory mauve]

Well yes

[stable herald]

Ahhh ofcourse there will be this one annoying asf mfker

[trim swan]

redhead wife

[stable herald]

redhead wife is a yes

but this particular person

will be soo damn frustrating and annoying

[trim swan]

||just chain her up and tape her mouth ||

[stable herald]

Ayooo

thats hella fast

we'll be expecting some first night event at the upcoming chapter 5

[echo quiver]

move aside slime isekai. a new isekai is taking the helm [reincarnated as a fish]

[trim swan]

how new is it

[solid nebula]

Wut is this

[echo quiver]

since may i think

[stable herald]

lips on the edge of a knife

[solid nebula]

I shouldnt of done that
falls to the ground

[stable herald]

Im sick so i cant laugh but HAHAHAHAHAHA

[solid nebula]

That aint red flag

[stable herald]

NOOOO MY THROAT

HAHAHAHA

[ivory mauve]

Pfffff

Oh man this is great

Reposting for the ones in different timezones

"There's No Such Thing as a Villainess Route? Not in My Book!"

[halcyon dagger]

that one certainly has a few more twists than the norm

[stable herald]

Well the wolf is dead

For the sake of being a blanket for mc

or even a coat

[ivory mauve]

[stable herald]

i rlly like this manhwa

a good change of pace

I like mc design, not the typical handsome, edgy and k-pop liked dude anynore

Bro everything about this manhwa is unique....What is this, MC's mother a Knight?

wtf

[halcyon dagger]

I am sure you already dropped the name somewhere, but I am not inclined to go looking. So I ask what the title is?

[echo quiver]

this i assume

but it's hard to tell what's a manhwa title anymore

[stable herald]

no no. thatd a different manhwa

[stable herald]

sorry for not droppin the name earlier. its "another typical fantasy romance"

But the title is such ironic

[thorn briar]

[ivory mauve]

This one is hilarious

[solid nebula]

Holy shit, is that a Love Live Snow Halation reference!

[slender skiff]

Almost certainly no

[boreal oyster]

no fucking way...

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/975525442062778389.png?v=1&size=48&quality=lossless

[last quiver]

what the fuck is oda doing

[trim swan]

not even oda knows

[trim swan]

hmm slime S3 announced

[thorn briar]

Can't wait

[trim swan]

movie comes first

[thorn briar]

We will see more of luminous

[grizzled acorn]

Eminence in shadow day 🍞

[stable herald]

wait what

[thorn briar]

I found it

[stable herald]

Pray for my success....to finish this anime uunscathed

[thorn briar]

Fate

Have fun watching it

[silver robin]

Which fate

[trim swan]

all fate good

[slender skiff]

im guessing HF

cos it looks a bit too sparkly to be UBW

[trim swan]

then I'll bet on plain stay/night

[silver robin]

I also see pirate

[stable herald]

yes it is HF

sam

why

[trim swan]

[silver robin]

It's not the og lol

Studio deen dreams of quality animation lol

[trim swan]

shiro's haircut made me think that

[stable herald]

its the depresso, so it was called

[trim swan]

HF is the depresso

[silver robin]

Curious

hf is the most lore heavy and depressing yes

[stable herald]

cant wait to see whats the depresso is bout, well im still on part 1

[slender skiff]

HF is the depresso yes

the short answer is

it's the one time shirou has to say

"fuck my ideals"

[stable herald]

and he goes brutal

[thorn briar]

And this was the best thing he did

[grizzled acorn]

and its so good

[slender skiff]

HF has its own issues

but generally its better than the other routes

[grizzled acorn]

nope, its perfect

[slender skiff]

it's not please

[thorn briar]

Its the best out of stay night

[slender skiff]

people tend to forget that HF is quite literally the glorified footnote for stay night

it is the best

not denying that

[thorn briar]

But i can't deny that the 2nd movie scared me

[slender skiff]

but HF was written literally to give the cucked characters a proper place in the story

(sakura, rider and kirei)

[grizzled acorn]

yeah 2 of the cucked characters are 2 of the best

random take, but people need to talk about how baller Shirou is in Fate Kalleid

[slender skiff]

must specify

which shirou

[grizzled acorn]

the miyuverse one

[slender skiff]

[grizzled acorn]

respectively

the kalleid movie is peak shirou activities

[slender skiff]

it is the peak yes

[thorn briar]

I didn't watch the kallied movie

[grizzled acorn]

you should probably fix that

[slender skiff]

^

it isn't remotely similar to the rest of the franchise

[grizzled acorn]

i like shirou in HF and UBW, but on god, kalleid shirou makes them look like little bitches

[thorn briar]

I liked the shirou in HF more , but yeah i need to continue fate kallied anime and watch the movie

[grizzled acorn]

youll love the movie

probably

[trim swan]

they stopped kaleid anime when it got good

[thorn briar]

[silver robin]

When i saw kaleid my mind went to dj khaled initially

[thorn briar]

Isn't it just illya kissing everyone to get mana

[grizzled acorn]

they only wanted to adapt that movie

whats wrong with illya kissing everyone to get mana, huh?

[trim swan]

the first two seasons is ||them being gay and simping on shiro yeah||

[thorn briar]

Nothing

[silver robin]

Oh wait

[grizzled acorn]

one could call it peak fiction

im not going to, but it can be said

[silver robin]

Ive heard of kaleid before

[thorn briar]

I was just speechless when i saw that

[silver robin]

It's the magical girl Yuri one

[thorn briar]

Yes

[trim swan]

ye

[silver robin]

[grizzled acorn]

the W spin-off

[silver robin]

Shirou is in that??

[grizzled acorn]

yes

[silver robin]

wtf

[grizzled acorn]

he isnt kissing little girls tho, to clarify

[trim swan]

should watch the movie tho, it's peak as have been said above

[silver robin]

well yea

but who did he choose

[trim swan]

no one

[grizzled acorn]

he chose luvia

obviously

[silver robin]

[trim swan]

||there's two shiros||

that's a real spoiler btw
like a beeg one

[thorn briar]

I liked the fact that we got rin and luvia fighting the whole time

That they destroyed the helicopter that they were in just by fighting insied it

[slender skiff]

nope

that's just s2 onwards

[thorn briar]

[slender skiff]

the shirou we see for most of the story, is a typical lucky pervert harem protag

[thorn briar]

I dont remember s1 that much

[slender skiff]

except he's not a protag

there's as said

[slender skiff]

this

because there's 2 worlds

[silver robin]

Thanks for telling me to only stick to ufotable fates

[slender skiff]

the 2 worlds bit itself is implied as early as s1

honestly sam

i would say watch it

[silver robin]

Na I'm good

[slender skiff]

it's the next best fate work after the ufotable ones and cloverwork ones

[silver robin]

What happened to the troyca ones

I thought you were a fan of those

[thorn briar]

|| i remember kirei was on the miyu world ||

[silver robin]

[grizzled acorn]

my 5 second review of kalleid is: its mediocre unless you are the biggest illya fan in the world, but the movie is amazing

[slender skiff]

i personally do think the troyca ones are better

but like

they're even more confusing

case files is very lore/mechanic heavy

for fgo you can shut your brain off

[silver robin]

The only thing i know about fgo is that one opening that's by unison square garden vaguely

[stable herald]

What the fuck, shes thicker than my bowl of asian noodle with chicken pieces and sambal

[slender skiff]

bablyonia is fun

yes it might require you to have some understanding of fgo

but case files requires you to have some understanding of the magic system itself

[faint crag]

best fate anime is grand carnival

anyone who tells you anything else is your enemy

[slender skiff]

ok fair

that is entirely fair

[silver robin]

Is that the cooking one

[slender skiff]

no

it's the parody one

carnival phantasm and its sequel

[faint crag]

https://tenor.com/view/fate-grand-carnival-anime-jp-gif-23637880

[slender skiff]

btw res

how goes volume 4

[faint crag]

res des

haven't started yet

was busy today

[slender skiff]

naruhodo

[silver robin]

Use smh

[slender skiff]

[silver robin]

good enough

[slender skiff]

the bookworm army grows

now to actually get shiro to watch it

yuni has a eons long watchlist

so i have little hope there

not quite as long as ramzh

but it's there

[faint crag]

be like me - don't actually watch anything from your ptw

[slender skiff]

im not sure about ascendance's manga

so i can't say much there

[faint crag]

I just use it like a notebook - things I found that can be interesting so I add them to not forget about it

[slender skiff]

brb

checking

i've been rereading zetsubou sensei lately instead

manga is behind s2 it seems

oh no it isn't

just no TLs

[silver robin]

Pay us and maybe we will do it

[slender skiff]

manga art doesn't look too great anyways

[silver robin]

Manga tls are big pain though

[slender skiff]

i usually almost always prefer LN to manga

[silver robin]

Always took forever to clean and typeset

[slender skiff]

there are rare cases like apothecary diaries

and sword oratoria

those i prefer the manga

[silver robin]

Only if manga art is bad imo

[slender skiff]

[faint crag]

yea, but manga has way less text than LN

[slender skiff]

cleaning is a pain

[silver robin]

If manga art good and nothing is cut story wise then i go manga

[slender skiff]

the second condition

is rarely fulfilled

[silver robin]

yea unfortunately

[silver robin]

yes

[faint crag]

I almost always prefer LNs, but actually reading them is big pain when you have ADD

[slender skiff]

that's why im fine with apothecary and oratoria

[faint crag]

while manga is much easier commitment

[grizzled acorn]

im a little late but I LOVE CASE FILES

[slender skiff]

so do i

i haven't been keeping with the books tho

[grizzled acorn]

yeah i havent read the light novels yet but i fully intend to

[slender skiff]

since those are all fan TL reliant

[trim swan]

case files of lord el melloi?

[slender skiff]

aye

[grizzled acorn]

I wish the fate lns got like, official english prints

[slender skiff]

and the anime

[trim swan]

i liked the anime

[grizzled acorn]

i would buy all of them

[slender skiff]

has a lot of original content

so uh

[trim swan]

the ED was pog

[grizzled acorn]

that one theme from the show

[trim swan]

Hibari by ASCA

[slender skiff]

like everything in the anime series outside the actual rail zeppelin arc is anime original

[grizzled acorn]

starting the case rail zeppelin i think

was the track

[slender skiff]

yes, that includes sisigo appearing

[grizzled acorn]

that goes hard

[slender skiff]

sisigo appearing is anime only

[grizzled acorn]

thats so sad

i love him

[slender skiff]

but as an apoc viewer it really made me smile

[trim swan]

yeah he ||dies in apoc ||

[slender skiff]

with a bang

you can see some of the same things that made him so likeable in apoc

putting himself in harms way to protect gray is kinda going full circle

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

considering how gray is related to mordred

[grizzled acorn]

he loves saber faces

[silver robin]

f te

[grizzled acorn]

chad

[slender skiff]

but yeah i read the first 4? LN volumes

i can say that there's a lot of unexpected lore drops

like we find out stay night caster's original master intended to summon siegfried

[silver robin]

l re

[trim swan]

sm

[grizzled acorn]

damn that makes me feel so bad for caster

rip

[slender skiff]

i forgot his name, but that asshole intended to summon siegfried

ah right, atrum galliasta

[grizzled acorn]

how could you forget souichirou

[slender skiff]

it's just that due to reasons, his catalyst was lost

not souichiro

[silver robin]

Does Siegfried appear in stay night i don't recall him

[grizzled acorn]

hes so awesome. until now ig. he needs to love his evil wife

[slender skiff]

caster's original asshole master

[slender skiff]

apoc

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

nights not him

medea killed her original master remember?

[grizzled acorn]

oh yeah

i forgot about that

[slender skiff]

talking about that asshole

he wanted to summon siegfried

[grizzled acorn]

that dude isnt even a named character

[slender skiff]

and had the catalyst and everything

[grizzled acorn]

or something

[slender skiff]

he is named

in stay night

just very forgettable

[silver robin]

Obviously

Everyone is named in fate

[slender skiff]

it's just that

a certain touko aozaki

[grizzled acorn]

im trying to find his name

i cannot

[slender skiff]

was responsible for the catalyst disappearing

atrum

i think it's atrum

[slender skiff]

https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Atrum_Galliasta?so=search

[grizzled acorn]

ah

that asshole's on a craft essence I keep getting but dont waant

[slender skiff]

best way to remember

but yeah

due to certain circumstances

touko aozaki uses the catalyst for other reasons

and he never got ahold of it

[grizzled acorn]

oh is Touko prominent in case files ?

[silver robin]

Is this stay night or apoc

[grizzled acorn]

or is that like a one-off short story thing

[slender skiff]

case files

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

so

more stay night

[silver robin]

Who is that guy

[slender skiff]

since case files is on the same timeline as stay night

touko?

[silver robin]

yes

[slender skiff]

well she

is known as the puppet master

you've watched HF right?

[silver robin]

yes

[slender skiff]

she's the one that ||gives shirou a fake arm||

[grizzled acorn]

sam did you watch garden of sinners

[silver robin]

oh

[slender skiff]

or rather, rin purchased it from her

she's much more prominent in knk yeah

knk and mny

[silver robin]

She's minor in hf then

[slender skiff]

mny is about her sister after all

[grizzled acorn]

my hype for that movie is unprecedented for me

[slender skiff]

touko also appears in the anime exclusive tv special for case files

the one from end last year

[grizzled acorn]

dont forget carnival phantasm

[slender skiff]

i would say, not major, but important enough

it's no mny tho

her main anime appearance is the special case files ep

and frankly

[grizzled acorn]

has a release date for mny beyond just 2023 been announced yet?

[slender skiff]

she is REALLY REALLY strong

the VN is coming out in english in jan 2023

physical limited editions you say

[silver robin]

ps4

[slender skiff]

truly

the premium vn reading platforms

[grizzled acorn]

holy shit its not sold out. preorder time

[slender skiff]

HF spoilers regarding touko

[grizzled acorn]

nintendo's been robbing me recently, that fire emblem drop was downright unfair to my bank account

[slender skiff]

touko is pretty much one of the strongest mages of the current stay night era

[grizzled acorn]

i love when we get mage lore

the clock tower and association is the part I find the most interesting

[slender skiff]

you remember flatt and svinn from case files?

and how strong those 2 are?

[grizzled acorn]

yeah lmao

apparently people really love flatt rn

[slender skiff]

thank strange fake

[grizzled acorn]

yeah

i havent read it, but ik people love him

[slender skiff]

touko completely trashes them

without trying

it's like she was swatting them away

[grizzled acorn]

how much of knk have you seen?

[slender skiff]

1st

just the first

[grizzled acorn]

man.

[slender skiff]

i prefer aoko anyways

🏃‍♂️

[grizzled acorn]

same

aoko is literally my wife

but touko is great too

thats why i want this movie to come out immediately

[unkempt briar]

You should continue, the 5th and 7th movies are great

the rest are kinda whatever but they setup for 5th and 7th so it’s worth

[grizzled acorn]

Ik thats the common take. But i disagree

Movie 4 and 8 arent up there, but i actually love 2, 3, and 6. I think both the Mirai Fukin movies are great too

Obviously 5 and 7 are the best, but they steal all the spotlight from the other great ones

[slender skiff]

Umu

[echo quiver]

that's a weird looking wooper

[slender skiff]

Oshi no Ko spoilers
Arima you absolute moron

Ruby spends half the chapter being lectured by Miyako about online presence and how relationships need to be monitored by the agency
and you oh so confidently think you don't need to worry cos you're of age

Arima makes yami look like einstein here

[grizzled acorn]

Absolute Yami slander

[silver robin]

[thorn briar]

[last quiver]

Alright now you picked my interest

[thorn briar]

[ivory mauve]

Woooooooooo

[solemn pollen]

damn how did she do that pose?

[thorn briar]

She tripped and fell down the stairs

On her face

[solemn pollen]

for someone that fell off stairs that's a big smile

[thorn briar]

Cause cid whose thier master was there

[inner sphinx]

You are safe because Yami won't read that

[ivory mauve]

[thorn briar]

[echo quiver]

[grizzled acorn]

Beast Tamer

[echo quiver]

[stable herald]

[ivory mauve]

Anyway, got 2 great girls

[ivory mauve]

[stable herald]

Holy shit

This is some crazy theory crafting

But it makes sense wtf

[echo quiver]

i saw that in comments

but i dont know what an eri is and i dont care

im just here for the romcom

i just zone out during the mecha battles since i know how that's gonna go anyway

[slender skiff]

I'll be honest
It's quite generic

[echo quiver]

yeah, im gonna rate it 3 for being average but not awful

finished everything already

[slender skiff]

3 out of what

[echo quiver]

5

[slender skiff]

For a moment I thought 3/10
