[slender skiff]

But s2 was aight ye

S1 was an absolute atrocity

[red magnet]

I liked all of it but I didn't realize that was a controversial opinion

[slender skiff]

I read the LN

So I was extra pained

Like Yue's is spot on

[echo quiver]

[red magnet]

I guess I'm just weird for liking it

[slender skiff]

I mean well

[faint crag]

nah, clearly a lot of people liked it as well

[echo quiver]

i mean, i like it

[slender skiff]

Like it for what reason

Is the question

[red magnet]

Idk i just liked it

[echo quiver]

but they clearly suck at making anime.

season 1

[red magnet]

I didn't have any complaints about it

[slender skiff]

Aqua

Ya say that

But I believe white fox was involved

White Fox is the same studio that made rezero

Which

[echo quiver]

dont trust them sketchy foxes

rezero sucked so that tracks

[slender skiff]

Subaru as debatable of a protag as he is

[echo quiver]

who wears a tracksuit all day anyway

not bocchi

[slender skiff]

Rezero is downright gorgeous

[faint crag]

wait, what are you even talking about? I assumed shield hero and kinda tuned out

[slender skiff]

Ok arifureta finished

Now shield hero

Rant begin

[faint crag]

oh no

[echo quiver]

shield hero was good in episode 1

[red magnet]

[slender skiff]

Who the flying fuck thought it was a good idea to cram 6 volumes in 12 episodes

[echo quiver]

dark, abandoned hero

[slender skiff]

Rant over

[echo quiver]

becoming an angry person

then they went "jk, forget all that"

[faint crag]

ok this was underwhelming

[echo quiver]

and makes him generic isekai hero

[slender skiff]

I mean

[echo quiver]

it's like if batman turned into superman after the first 20 minutes of the movie

[slender skiff]

I'll be honest here

The signs were there in s1

[faint crag]

"stockholm syndrom is good actually"
cool morale Shield hero, thanks for sharing

👍

[slender skiff]

S1 also had an incredible amount of skipped content

[echo quiver]

yeah, like i said, episode 2

[slender skiff]

But because s1 flowed together well

[echo quiver]

the signs were there because they dropped it after like 2 episodes

[slender skiff]

It was fine

S2 was like

If yami watched FMAB

And we asked him for a summary

[faint crag]

nonexistent?

[slender skiff]

Not quite TPN S2 tier at least
TPN S2 is basically Tsukihime anime tier

[echo quiver]

s2 i couldn't even finish

i watched like half of it

and then skipped to the tiny racoon girl

and then gave up because idk anything anymore

[slender skiff]

The best part of shield hero s2 was kizuna lmao

Which I was saying for years would be

[slender skiff]

...well and Raph-chan

[echo quiver]

the funny thing was everyone hating on shield hero in all the other anime comments

[slender skiff]

Shield hero is one of the series I'm sad to have dropped honestly

I finished the WN completely

But dropped the LN

[echo quiver]

10 years from now, people watching old anime would scroll down into comments and wonder why there's comments like "better than shield hero" in unrelated anime

[red magnet]

Kekw

[echo quiver]

i think season 2 unofficial slogan is uh... what was it...

[slender skiff]

The one I'll actually rant about is Realist Hero tho

[echo quiver]

the decline of shield hero? something like that

[slender skiff]

"The Rising of the Skip Hero"

[slender skiff]

Realist is easily top 5 in terms of my favourite LNs

[echo quiver]

i dont think i liked realist. i believe that's the one where they just chuck random solutions at you

[slender skiff]

The biggest issue with realist was not adapted into the anime at least

[echo quiver]

like detective conan, but less logical and more, "uh, sure, if you say so"

[slender skiff]

Realist is one of those political stuff isekais

[echo quiver]

or maybe that was the other anime

[slender skiff]

In the case of realist

[echo quiver]

oh, jk

[slender skiff]

The MC actually does know his stuff

[echo quiver]

realist is the one with the lion

yeah, realist is fine

[slender skiff]

The one I disliked more was Tensai Ouji (not Oujo)

[echo quiver]

casual harem anime

[slender skiff]

Even though frankly it handles the whole kingdom rebuilding thing better

And received a significantly better adaptation

[echo quiver]

demon queen gonna be his final harem member

[slender skiff]

Uh

I'll be honest people have been memeing about it for ages

[echo quiver]

why is it a mem

[slender skiff]

So have I myself

[echo quiver]

meme

he literally ||seduced every female ruler so far||

[slender skiff]

Major major spoilers

[echo quiver]

that's a 100% track record

[slender skiff]

The demon queen is basically ||a vocaloid||

[echo quiver]

excellent. we going down the path of cellphone isekai

er, smartphone

i guess cellphones dont exist anymore

[slender skiff]

No as in there's ||no physical body||

[echo quiver]

no problem there

[slender skiff]

For the same reason you said btw

[echo quiver]

he'll figure something out

[slender skiff]

I also thought that would be his 8th

But currently

Even in WN

[echo quiver]

8th

wtf

[slender skiff]

8th is unfilled

[echo quiver]

calm down

you dont need that many heirs

[slender skiff]

Liscia said as much in the beginning

"I'll approve of 7 more wives"
"One for each day of the week"

[echo quiver]

for a realist hero, he's weirdly ignoring succession criseses

[slender skiff]

Realist works weirdly

[slender skiff]

And the LN properly talks about this

[echo quiver]

they gonna end up tearing the continent apart

[slender skiff]

Basically, the Elfrieden kingdom has this system called primary and secondary queens

Only children of the primary queens are heirs

[echo quiver]

yeah, but all you need is some good old-fashioned murder and title claim wars

[slender skiff]

But to be a primary queen, they have to be a member of the nobility

[echo quiver]

and boom, your system goes down the drain into a world war

[red magnet]

Should I watch Bocchi

[echo quiver]

yes

it's literally the highest rated anime of its season

[slender skiff]

When the second primary queen is literally the kingdom's strongest warrior, not really an issue

[echo quiver]

... except for bleach

[slender skiff]

It's sadly not

[slender skiff]

Yes

Strongly recommend

[echo quiver]

bleach bad

[red magnet]

It looks funny

[slender skiff]

Bleach is one of the big 3 aqua

Hard to fight against it

[red magnet]

I need uzaki chan to hurry up and finish

[echo quiver]

the problem is the heirs. they the ones who gonna be fighting

[slender skiff]

Nah they won't

[echo quiver]

[slender skiff]

There's a sufficient age gap (2 years +)

Also ||first two are twins lel||

But yes madgadget
Do consider watching Bocchi

And yes Res
Do consider watching Yuusha Yamemasu

And aqua

Consider uh

Uh

Aquatope of the white sand?

(ok I wasn't completely serious)

Though I've heard good shit about it

[echo quiver]

no

i hate romance

[slender skiff]

[echo quiver]

it's always just two people flirting until they kiss in the end

[slender skiff]

I'm

It's not even tagged

Romance

[echo quiver]

wuh

[slender skiff]

The entire main cast is female anyways

Drama, sol, supernatural

[echo quiver]

are you suuuure

because i see two girls

[slender skiff]

It's not tagged romance

I checked

[echo quiver]

[echo quiver]

ive watched lycoreco and the one from this season. i think i know when i see romance

[slender skiff]

The 2 hidden ones are ||time skip|| and ||office lady||

God knows what the latter means

[echo quiver]

wtf

oh, i know

[slender skiff]

Lycoreco isn't romance either

[echo quiver]

apparently there's a thing called OL

[slender skiff]

The Yuri isekai on the other hand

[echo quiver]

and it's a thing people like

[slender skiff]

Is VERY Yuri

Good gods

[echo quiver]

i know because someone mentioned OL here

and i got confused until i looked it up

[slender skiff]

Do they just mean like

Salary man

[echo quiver]

or maybe it was reddit

i think it's just any lady wearing a suit

people like weird things

[red magnet]

That time I got reincarnated as a slime

Thoughts?

[echo quiver]

pretty sure it's the most popular isekai in existence

outside of rezero because idk why people like it

[slender skiff]

It's not the most popular isekai in existence

That's SAO

[red magnet]

I'm pulling up my watch list

[slender skiff]

[red magnet]

How is sao an isekai

[echo quiver]

[slender skiff]

SAO by definition

[echo quiver]

i dont think people consider it an isekai

[red magnet]

But they don't leave earth

[faint crag]

most people absolutely do consider it as one

[slender skiff]

Has the cliches of an isekai

[echo quiver]

like how people dont consider maplestory an isekai

i mean bofuri

[slender skiff]

Maple story

[echo quiver]

yes, the story of maple

[slender skiff]

Fucking hell

But well aqua

SAO is at least

Half isekai

Aincrad and especially Alicization are both isekai arcs

[echo quiver]

i mean, if you live and die in a world, i think it qualifies as an isekai

[slender skiff]

"If your mind is trapped in a different place"

[red magnet]

[slender skiff]

And you had no way of returning

[echo quiver]

a lot of people in isekais dont leave earth physically

[slender skiff]

Isn't that essentially an isekai?

[red magnet]

Then does that make dreams an isekai like what

[echo quiver]

their bodies are still rotting on earth

but their souls get reincarnated in new bodies

[slender skiff]

"You had no way of returning"

[echo quiver]

oh, i guess japan cremates or something

[red magnet]

Most isekais I've seen involve teleportation

[echo quiver]

huh

have you met my friend truck-kun

[red magnet]

Does that make overlord an isekai

[slender skiff]

Reincarnation

[red magnet]

That too

Reincarnation

[slender skiff]

Overlord is absolutely an isekai lmao

[red magnet]

[faint crag]

as isekai as it gets tbh

[slender skiff]

It's considered one of the most popular ones lmao

And yeah it's about as iskeia as it gets

[red magnet]

Maybe I thought "trapped in a vr game" was its own genre

Because to me that doesn't make sense to call it an isekai

[slender skiff]

"Trapped in a game" is a subgenre of isekai really

[red magnet]

Maybe I'm just dumb

That's lame

[slender skiff]

"You are trapped in a different world"

So yes, that's isekai

And I haven't even begun to split hairs here

I can accept the debate of SAO being/not being an isekai cos it flits back and forth

But overlord absolutely is lmao

In fact

Overlord is very vague about it

We don't know how he was sent over to the new world even

Is he trapped in the game even?

[red magnet]

I can see how OL may be an isekai

[echo quiver]

wasnt it ||a magic ritual||

[faint crag]

the point of genres is to describe specific points, narrative instruments and emotions
if it looks like an isekai, moves like an isekai and quacks like an isekai - it's just isekai, it doesn't matter if they actually get teleported or transported

[red magnet]

Cuz we don't know if it's the game or a new world

[slender skiff]

Never once specified

[red magnet]

Was it specified in the books

[slender skiff]

Nope

[echo quiver]

iirc, they mentioned ||some idiots tried summoning heroes and now they get some every 200 years or so||

[slender skiff]

Even in the side story

[slender skiff]

We don't know if that's related

That's the issue

[echo quiver]

and they were like, "well shit, maybe we shouldn't have done that"

[slender skiff]

Black Summoner also plays with this trope

[red magnet]

Huh

[slender skiff]

Overlord has never once specified what is the nature of Ainz being isekaied

Whether he's trapped in a game

Or in a new world based on what he was in the game

Or a mix of both

[echo quiver]

the world isn't even based on the game

all the game related things got isekaid into the world too

[slender skiff]

It has the same "mechanics" to speak

[echo quiver]

yeah

[slender skiff]

It's hard to draw the line for what exactly is Overlord's isekai

Though it absolutely is one

[echo quiver]

like, for example, martial arts dont exist

in the game

[slender skiff]

As far as a narrative standpoint goes ^

[echo quiver]

the point of genres is to browse shit i want to watch at 2 am in the morning

[slender skiff]

The one where it's more debatable is stuff like Bofuri

[red magnet]

Hmm

[slender skiff]

Does VRMMO (not trapped) count as an isekai?

In one way yes

[echo quiver]

dont worry. she's trapped

it's an mmo

[slender skiff]

And there's also reverse isekais

[red magnet]

Doesn't uhh

[slender skiff]

Like Gate and Re Creators

[echo quiver]

isn't gate just an isekai

[potent schooner]

Re Creators 10/10

[faint crag]

reverse isekais have pretty much nothing in common with "normal" isekais

[red magnet]

Doesn't pick up girls in a dungeon get more episodes this year

[echo quiver]

reverse isekai is when you kidnap a demon king and stick them on earth

[slender skiff]

Danmachi is airing it's s4 part 2 right now yes

[echo quiver]

funny how 90% of the time it's always a demon king

or some other demon

[faint crag]

reverse isekai is when truck hits you but you actually survive

[potent schooner]

Nier reverse isekai

[slender skiff]

I'm gonna laugh if they announce an S5 tho
Cos we literally only have enough content for S5 once the author releases volume 18 this month

I mean let's be real

The most famous reverse isekai is probably hatamaou anyways

[red magnet]

I like scientific railgun

Er, Magical index series

All that show

Never watched accelerator though

[slender skiff]

Railgun is probably the only actually well written thing in the entire index franchise

[echo quiver]

the actual most popular anime is steins gate

i mean isekai

[slender skiff]

What

[red magnet]

The end of the freezing manga is part isekai

[echo quiver]

yes

el psy congroo

[slender skiff]

To borrow the words of Ferdinand

You fool

Time travel isn't necessarily isekai

It can be if the scale is large enough

[echo quiver]

it's not time travel. it's traveling to new worlds

[slender skiff]

But I think "a few days/weeks" definitely isn't

Ok that argument is just splitting hairs

[echo quiver]

[slender skiff]

I know what you mean but please

[echo quiver]

i was mostly meming

[slender skiff]

I mean

Kongming is an example

Tho Kongming is more reverse isekai into present earth

Rather than MC isekai into past/future earth

[echo quiver]

ironically, he's the first male kongming ive seen

[slender skiff]

Have you not seen Fate

[echo quiver]

it's amazing how popular female kongming is in weeb media

o

but no fan...?

[slender skiff]

Fate's Kongming is actually male

[echo quiver]

lies. no fan

[slender skiff]

I mean

He's in Waver's body

[slender skiff]

[thorn briar]

Hell and kisa

[flat cedar]

Myaa-nee

[trim swan]

ohh she's voiced a lot of waifus

[pliant sable]

You guys seen the new Nier:Automata anime?

[analog yarrow]

Maybe it is a dream. He dream't while gaming and...well...someday he will awake with a new view of the real world.

[analog yarrow]

Not yet.

Seems to be very good as it is Nier. But can not be good as the game.

[slender skiff]

That... Is a somewhat popular fan theory

And a rather depressing one

Considering the world he lived in

[faint crag]

I feel like "it was all just a dream" is a very popular fan theory template that's literally never true?

I honestly can't come up with any anime story where this was the case

I mean it's a cool thing to theorise about no doubt

[thorn briar]

[faint crag]

[thorn briar]

I found blue lock too

[flat cedar]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/528197562998718474/1044594449730256936/huangjiacaifu_dance_default.gif

on my way

to buy

[thorn briar]

What essex is doing here

[flat cedar]

getting ready to buy manga

[thorn briar]

[faint crag]

Damn, it must be cool to live in a place where there's actually so much manga published and sold

[thorn briar]

I bought blue lock since I found vol 1 , 3 and 4

It's only 1 bookstore and 1 other shop

[faint crag]

In my country it's still increadibly rare
Any new license announced and you go

[thorn briar]

That actually sell them now

But it's mostly MHA and the promised neverland

Also Tokyo ghoul

I want to continue my Tokyo ghoul collection but I can't find the last 2 volumes

[silver robin]

Aquatope is boring as fuck

[thorn briar]

Is way of the household good

[silver robin]

office lady is cause in the second half one of the mcs transitions into a more management role instead of hands on with the fish idk why its a spoiler tag lol

[silver robin]

way of the househusband? Ive heard good things about it

[thorn briar]

[silver robin]

havent seen though

[thorn briar]

I will add it to my list to watch

[slender skiff]

Probably cos it's a very well know taboo of fiction writing in general

Like in general, when learning how to write a narrative essay, one of the things teachers will tell you never to do, is to end the story with the person waking up/it was all a dream

It just makes for poor story telling in general

And guess which famous anime/manga did do that

[faint crag]

yea it's very cool

[slender skiff]

Gotoubun no Hanayome

[faint crag]

oh fuck you're right

[slender skiff]

[faint crag]

I completely erased it from my memory

[slender skiff]

And it's a huge shame too

Haruba Negi is a pretty good writer (usually)

Most of gotoubun (aside from again, the ending) was done very well

There's a reason it was incredibly popular after all

It was a relatively unique school story

(well as unique as it gets for a school story)

[faint crag]

well gotoubun started shitting the bed just slightly before the ending
but yea, everything before that was extremely good

which surprised me since I'm generally not into harem romance stories

except Kami nomi

[slender skiff]

For me it got a bit uhhhhhhhhh ok?
Around the confession part

[faint crag]

yea

[slender skiff]

Ah kaminomi

I'm sure that must have stirred a shit storm within its fanbase too

With that ending

[thorn briar]

, thanks

[faint crag]

Don't care about the fanbase as long as I like it

[slender skiff]

I should add
There's 3 things that teachers normally advise against when ending a story

1. Dream (as mentioned)
2. Death
3. Deus ex machina

The last one in particular is a very common sin

[faint crag]

and then eagles saved everyone

[slender skiff]

I mean mirai nikki had a literal character called deus ex machina

Look where that ended up

I can't even say which ending was worse

[silver robin]

[faint crag]

Ok I don't think mirai nikki is really a good example when that character existed from the very start

[slender skiff]

Yeah I meant that more so as a joke

[slender skiff]

Oh I personally liked the ending
Mostly

I actually expected him to end up with who he did

[silver robin]

no spoilers plz

[faint crag]

I won't say I expected it but I def think it's the most fitting one if not the only one

[slender skiff]

(much to Rei's indignation)

The one thing I did not like

Was how they handled Elsie

[faint crag]

Yea we discussed it I'm pretty sure

[slender skiff]

[faint crag]

I didn't have any issue but I get what you mean

[slender skiff]

Yeah I deliberately didn't say which girl he chose

Only thing I did was say he did choose a girl

[silver robin]

i know that much already

[slender skiff]

[thorn briar]

, source: I thought I didn't have long to live

[echo quiver]

and then he found out how expensive accessories and dresses actually are

[thorn briar]

She was worried about it

He bought everything for her

[silver robin]

[echo quiver]

hmmm

[ivory mauve]

"Yuusha Shoutai Kamoku Yuusha Wa Nagasarenai"

I shared this before but it's been a minute.

[stable herald]

@ivory mauve i found a great military manga

Its Groundless

[ivory mauve]

Wow

That art tho

[stable herald]

yes that art tho

[stable herald]

Whats even better is that, in the summary.

She got ployed, her husband were killed and her daughter were takr away, she lost one of her eyes. with her onr and only rifle she got, she's settings for a revenge

Loook at that

i might ask xhenos bout this gun

it looks neat

[ivory mauve]

Nice

Now i wish "red eyes" had more chapters

[pallid osprey]

@slender skiff

[stable herald]

aw fuckin hell

ofcourse the manga is a bit fucjed up

[slender skiff]

Why would I?

Have you even started FMAB?

Also no, I'd sooner check out Violet Evergarden

[atomic pagoda]

Ah, Groundless. I enjoy it so much

Right now, she would make her name known until she can get her baby back.

[silver robin]

i am caught up with black clover anime though

[slender skiff]

Wow

Bocchi twitter at 500k followers

[frosty knoll]

Is there more of submarine captain mommy?

[stable herald]

Even when being a soldier, even with resolves. Not everyone can handle the aftermath of killing their enemies knowing they are also humans like them

[frosty knoll]

Heh

[frosty knoll]

Where

[echo quiver]

lmao, i love how they look

kid must have passed all their depression to them

[slender skiff]

The more I read Jaku Chara Tomozaki

The more I'm convinced of how underrated this series is

[lapis solstice]

Anyone here ever seen Princess Principal?

It's so cute and awesome

[halcyon dagger]

yes and it is awesome

and cute

lots of Jules Verne References too

[lapis solstice]

Yes

My favorite was Beatrice in it. She’s so fluffy

Followed by Chise. She’s the teams “Raiden.”

Princess Principal to me is like Bioshock crossed with Metal Gear BUT CUTE!!!

[thorn briar]

Princess principal is soo good

[stable herald]

[thorn briar]

Yes

[graceful oak]

Example

[stable herald]

What example

[graceful oak]

Not u

Nomitter

That from the wiki fandom

[stable herald]

soo in the anime she wears smth?

[graceful oak]

I guess so

[faint crag]

I was really interested in Princess Principal when it was coming out, waited for the whole thing to come out and then it just... kinda sorta disappeared from my radar and I forgor 💀

I really need to watch it

[thorn briar]

I learned about it when I was watching a vid on YT for try not to sing anime challenge

I got interested and started watching it

And we getting 6 movies now called : princess principal the crown handler

2 are already out

So we missing 4 movies

[thorn briar]

I need to watch tsurune s2

[pallid osprey]

Yeah, new eps so freaking good

[thorn briar]

I dropped black clover

[thorn briar]

I miss u , source: tsurune s2

[thorn briar]

Did they change his VA

They didn't

[frosty knoll]

What if we got this as an anime or some shit

Full adaptation

Wait, wrong channel

[thorn briar]

Who are u

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/rDTFSD9K9dA

I mean know there were a lot of references to them from the episode titles

But didn't realise Bocchi actually made a cover of one of their songs

[thorn briar]

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

For those that don't get it

The first and final episodes are named after this song (Korogaru Iwa/Bocchi, Kimi ni Asa ga Furu) and Bocchi sings this song during the end credits of the final ep

[thorn briar]

Watching tsurune gives me chills

[silver robin]

🏹

I think its also kyoto animations so

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/VkCUnnmZXtU

[thorn briar]

I forgot about free as well

[graceful oak]

Ehhhh

[faint crag]

If you gonna tag me, at least you could use actual words

[thorn briar]

Eminence in shadow today

[silver robin]

school girls

[slender skiff]

It's

[graceful oak]

Love Live

Better

[slender skiff]

Basically a diabetes anime

From before diabetes anime became a trend

[graceful oak]

Love Live best Idol Anime

Love Live X Azur Lane

[slender skiff]

Mikakunin isn't an idol anime tho...?

[graceful oak]

no

Genres: Comedy, Romance

[slender skiff]

Aka romcom

[graceful oak]

hmm

[slender skiff]

How is that related to love live in any way?

If you said love lab

[graceful oak]

no it not

what is love lab

[slender skiff]

Then that's understandable

[graceful oak]

....

I can't remember when i watch this

i watch too many anime and remember a few

[slender skiff]

Well a lot of meme GIFs spawned from this

[graceful oak]

show me

[slender skiff]

This one is probably the most well-known

[graceful oak]

Ender the Anime Expert

[slender skiff]

I haven't actually watched love lab myself

[graceful oak]

https://tenor.com/view/love-lab-natsuo-maki-gif-11920163

[slender skiff]

I'm only aware cos of the GIFs

[graceful oak]

[slender skiff]

[slender skiff]

[slender skiff]

[graceful oak]

[thorny nest]

I'm gonna rewatch SAO and maybe continue after the alfheim part this time

[slender skiff]

Pog

Sam will be happy

[thorny nest]

oh wait nvm

there was the gungale online season too

I watched that + both movies too

[slender skiff]

As long as you ignore the totally pointless Excalibur arc

It's fine

[thorny nest]

was that the one with the elves?

[slender skiff]

It was the arc in between phantom bullet and mother's rosario

Ended with kirito getting a sword he would only use twice

[thorny nest]

I kinda remember it but also dont

it's been too long

[slender skiff]

That's the point

It's that forgettable

[thorny nest]

I remember he gets a sword while battling the elven king (who's personalitywise) but cant recall if it was that sword I checked MAL, I watched til Alicization (watched one ep of it and like dropped it cuz I had a big break between the ordinal scale movie and the first ep so the introduction ep was so out of place)

well time to grab some food and start watching season 1 again I guess

funny sidenote: part of one of my uni projects is creating a vr multiplayer with unity

and I totally forgot kirito's avatar had a different appearance in ep1

[thorn briar]

[thorny nest]

baka shiro

[thorn briar]

Flat baka

[thorny nest]

[thorn briar]

[pure hill]

I mean, he's only used the sword twice because they've barely spent any 'on-screen' time in ALO since he got it.
He's also autistic and likes to hide his power level, so only pulls out the dual wielding when something more important than "just a game" come up.

[topaz moth]

baka madga

[boreal oyster]

just hearing ainz voice from a wolf made me chuckles 💀

[thorny nest]

I also totally forgot how awesome the first SAO opening is

[silver robin]

[thorny nest]

there u are

[slender skiff]

Nope

Twilight is voiced by Eguchi Takuya iirc

Who is well

Hachiman

The hachiman to yor's yukino

But saitama and miyuki shirogane and benimaru from slime are all voiced by Furukawa Makoto

If you're familiar with fate, you may also recognise him as Achilles

Pfft

[slender skiff]

Man speaks the truth

[graceful oak]

i lied

😐

tmr 10 anime hopefully

[graceful oak]

what anime?

[slender skiff]

https://anilist.co/anime/148969/Kubosan-wa-Mob-wo-Yurusanai/

[graceful oak]

ay Anlist

is good

the UI is amazing

added

[grizzled acorn]

kubo honestly surprised me with its quality

good show

[slender skiff]

Unfortunately

With Tensai Oujo as competition

Kubo and Tenshi are gonna have rough times

[grizzled acorn]

tenshi is nothing.

sorry ender

kubo and tensai oujo are so much better 😔

[slender skiff]

Kubo has significantly better production value

That's about it

Story wise both are equal

[grizzled acorn]

nah

[slender skiff]

Speaking as someone who has read both source materials

[grizzled acorn]

kubo is putting a goofy little grin on my face consistently throughout each episode so far. tenshi has me like 🗿

[slender skiff]

You just can't appreciate a good wife

[grizzled acorn]

their interactions are boring im sorry 😭

[slender skiff]

I feel sad for you

[grizzled acorn]

it reminds me of bunny girl senpai dialogue but not as good

[slender skiff]

Not all dialogue needs to be witty after all

Else Shikimori would be better

[grizzled acorn]

shikimori is awful

doesnt really have a horse in this race

[slender skiff]

Funnily

This is exactly the difference between an international and Japanese audience

Shikimori is contender for female character of the year there

[grizzled acorn]

shikimori herself is ok

but the show is awful, i mean

[slender skiff]

Tho ye manga herself isn't very successful

Kubo was the top few

Well

Not quite chart topping

But yes

Tenshi is a LN so can't be directly compared

Tho all will fall the moment Roshidere is announced for an adaptation

[grizzled acorn]

speaking of tenshi ln, i heard from other ln readers that the adaptation isnt really doing it justice

[slender skiff]

It really isn't

Probably cos of studio no. 9's identical art style

To their previous works

[grizzled acorn]

precisely. so is it really wrong of me to say that its getting cleared by kubo and tensei oujo rn?

[slender skiff]

...tho I would argue kana hana would have fit better as Tenshi/Mahiru

Rather than as Kubo

I am holding my judgement for Tensai Oujo

[grizzled acorn]

my opinions not set in stone

[slender skiff]

Cos it looks like the production team is taking a LOT of creative liberties

So hard to say where they'll make changes

The funniest thing is

I'd say the weakest part of the story is the Yuri itself

Don't get me wrong, I do like shoujo ai myself but like

Not everyone does

So it's the one thing that might kick people away from the series

[grizzled acorn]

never watched a shoujo ai before but i fuck with it

[echo quiver]

ive learned enough japanese from watching anime to know that means girl love

[stable herald]

KYAAAAAAAAA

Nice to see Sumi again tho

[BOFURI] episode 2 spoilers

also, should i be concerned that a lot of these npcs seem to be sentient

[trim swan]

typical video game anime/manga/webtoon

||they try to hint at something that the NPCs might be actually real people from another planet||

though from what I recall from S1, i don't think BOFURI does that

[slender skiff]

bofuri is too chill for that kinda plotline

[tomo-chan is a girl] episode 3 spoilers
||tomo looks nice with short hair too||

[echo quiver]

From Studio DEEN (Fate/stay night) comes a remake celebrating the 25th anniversary of the series!

casually namedropping FSN for an isekai

wait, this one might just be a straight up fantasy

wait, this is old.

i was wondering what a non-isekai was doing in my season full of isekais and romance animes

[echo quiver]

anis channeling gudako energy

actually, she might just be gudako in disguise with blonde hair dye

[stable herald]

eyyy update

[thorn briar]

Have fun reading it

[slender skiff]

I mean
You do realise FSN by definition is a reverse isekai right

In any case
Deen should be more well known for konosuba at this point

[silver robin]

Studio deen more like studio shit am i right

[slender skiff]

Though even that is 10 years ago

They did a brilliant job with konosuba

Can't deny that

It is especially noticeable when you compare to JC Staff's work on the movie

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

It's noticeably worse outside the action scenes

And if you ask me

Konosuba has always been about the inaction

[silver robin]

Couldnt you attribute that to movie plot sucking

[slender skiff]

Rather than the action

I mean

[silver robin]

(I havent seen konosuba)

[slender skiff]

Don't get me started

On the movie

I could go on another rant about

"This is why you don't try to act smart and add your own original content"

[silver robin]

but but yuri isekai

[slender skiff]

Also go watch it you fool

[silver robin]

No u

Anyways i read the first couple ish ln volumes

…5-6 years ago

[thorny nest]

I watched either half of s1 of konosuba or the whole of it

[slender skiff]

Watch it

It's literally

[thorny nest]

and just didnt like it

[slender skiff]

10x2 episodes

[thorny nest]

[slender skiff]

Not much

[silver robin]

no time

[slender skiff]

Spend 30 mins less a day in help

[silver robin]

do my uni homework first

[slender skiff]

You'll have the time

[thorny nest]

if u do my uni projects for me sam

[silver robin]

Spending time in gph is far easier than watching anime

cause unlike anime

The audio doesnt matter

[echo quiver]

spend 100% less time

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

Konosuba is one of the rare cases where the adaptation is indeed better

I did read the LNs myself

[silver robin]

isnt the lns finished

[slender skiff]

Quite some time back yes

The ending was

Rather unsatisfactory imo

[silver robin]

i did watch sentouin hakenshimasu though

cause it was a seasonal

[slender skiff]

That one is genuinely horrible

[silver robin]

elaborate

[tardy hare]

I am watching "My Life as Inukai-san’s Dog" right now
I have so many questions...

[silver robin]

good

you should have them

[slender skiff]

I think Res watched it in full?

From what I heard it's a butchered adaptation

Cos guess who animated the fucking thing

[silver robin]

(havent seen it though )

jc staff

[slender skiff]

JC fucking staff

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

But yeah konosuba adaptation being good

Largely comes down to great animation

And great voice acting

Also immense meme potential

Jun Fukushima, Rie Takahashi, Ai Kayano, Sora Amamiya

All excellent performances

Heck I'd argue Megumin helped Rieri catapult her career far more than Emilia ever did

Though they did come out at practically the same time

[slender skiff]

It's fairly tame compared to that one dogeza anime from a few years back

Well then again that one had the MC be voiced by well

A certain Sugita Tomokazu

[echo quiver]

dogeza

dog yakuza

[slender skiff]

https://anilist.co/anime/122137/Dogeza-de-Tanondemita/

Obvious ecchi warning

I don't think it gets much sillier than this

[tardy hare]

I still remember watching Shimoneta

And that freaking Cookie Scene

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk7fHu7BWFU

[neat pelican]

I feel like I've seen that hentai before

[grizzled acorn]

its fine tbh

i enjoyed it

[slender skiff]

There's a fine line between ecchi and hentai

Quite literally

[grizzled acorn]

not if your parents walk in.

[slender skiff]

If your parents walk in

Even a non ecchi scene won't save you

Unless they're like

Well let's just say one of our mods has parents that are perfectly fine with him pasting what's practically hentai around his room

And they've even added to it

[grizzled acorn]

yuni.

[slender skiff]

Nah it's not

[grizzled acorn]

damn that woulda been funny

based parents though, they add quality?

[slender skiff]

As in give him more loods yes

Don't ask

[grizzled acorn]

yeah but good ones?

[slender skiff]

Good ones

I've seen them

[grizzled acorn]

W

super based

[slender skiff]

It's a weeb's dream room

[slender skiff]

I mean

Idk about you

[grizzled acorn]

im a weeb but my dream room is something like this tbh

[slender skiff]

I always found shimoneta incredibly overrated

[echo quiver]

that's

an office

[grizzled acorn]

nah id have a bed in the corner

[echo quiver]

please dont sleep on the table

[slender skiff]

You're not the main character of realist hero, nights

[grizzled acorn]

and wouldnt have a desk like that. everything else is staying

[slender skiff]

Please don't have a bed in your office too

[echo quiver]

the fireplace is a fire hazard
