anime-manga

[frosty knoll]

They look like cut 30 Minute Missions designs

[slender skiff]

The few action I do watch are typically cherry picked to be the best of the lot

[frosty knoll]

Watch Zeta Gundam

Out of the Gundam TV anime, it’s easily the best

You can really feel how the production team matured compared to 1979

[slender skiff]

Appreciate the recommendation, but I'm just not interested

Mecha as a genre only impressed me when I was like

7-10

[frosty knoll]

You want to cherry pick, and that is the cherrypick

[frosty knoll]

Which one?

Because you can’t just lump super robot with real robot like that

[slender skiff]

I mean back then
I didn't even know what's plot lol

[frosty knoll]

And those genres are still wide spectrums

[slender skiff]

The only Gundam I saw as a kid was SEED

[frosty knoll]

Awful

[slender skiff]

But I remember jack shit

[frosty knoll]

Disgusting

SEED is the worst reboot

Ever

Of all time

[slender skiff]

Idk what I would say about it now

[frosty knoll]

Not even TM Revolution, Kenji Kowai, and Okawara save it

[slender skiff]

Yeah other people here have educated me that SEED is horrendous

But yeah as a grown up watching anime

[frosty knoll]

“‘Mecha isn’t that interesting.” only watched Evangelion and Gundam SEED

[slender skiff]

Mecha alone isn't enough to hook me

Mecha isn't that interesting to me

[frosty knoll]

Then you haven’t watched a good real robot series

[slender skiff]

Which is a very big difference

[frosty knoll]

Or Getter Robo

Or Big O

[slender skiff]

I just don't like it

There are fans of mecha anime in this channel

I'm just not one of them

[frosty knoll]

What about mecha with art deco art design and lore?

And a jazz soundtrack

[slender skiff]

I never watch them, so I don't think it's fair for me to criticise those anime or people who do watch those anime

[frosty knoll]

People who refuse to watch mecha don’t understand the genre at all

Like

At all

[slender skiff]

The only mecha anime I've properly watched, are those that happen to have mecha

[frosty knoll]

Such as?

[slender skiff]

So lol

Geass

What else

[frosty knoll]

Gundam for people who don’t like Gundam

[slender skiff]

I never watched Eva

[frosty knoll]

Watch Zeta Gundam

It blows Geass out of the water

[slender skiff]

No lol

[frosty knoll]

Yes.

[slender skiff]

I told you I'm just not interested

[frosty knoll]

Then why did you watch Geass?

Because it’s literally just bootleg diet Zeta Gundam

[slender skiff]

Because I was interested as to why people rate it so highly

So I watched it

That's about it

[frosty knoll]

You don’t see UC Gundam series getting high ratings on MAL because people don’t watch UC Gundam

But for some fucking reason everyone has seen Wing and acts like it’s peak

It fucking isn’t

It’s just dumb action with fujo bait

[slender skiff]

Ah yes fujo bait

Or course

[frosty knoll]

Yeah

[slender skiff]

That explains everything

[frosty knoll]

I’m fucking serious

The amount of BL for Wing

[slender skiff]

Say no more

[frosty knoll]

It’s fucking horrifying

[slender skiff]

It's beyond saving

[frosty knoll]

SEED, too

Gundam X is underrated

[slender skiff]

Incidentally
How's ironblood to you

[frosty knoll]

Awful

[slender skiff]

(I don't mean AL ironblood duh)

[frosty knoll]

It doesn’t even do its own gimmick justice

The only good thing about it are the kits

The kits are great

[slender skiff]

Ironblood was probably the only one I ever remotely considered watching as an adult beside seed

Cos it was airing when I was just getting into anime

[frosty knoll]

It’s literally just dumb action and an orphan’s power fantasy

[slender skiff]

...wait so it's just an isekai

[frosty knoll]

My ex was a Seed, IBO, and Wing fan

[slender skiff]

Goddammit

[frosty knoll]

And I’m a Tomino enthusiast

Utterly incompatible

[frosty knoll]

You want a good isekai, watch Heavy Metal

One of the stories in it is peak isekai

And it doesn’t take 50 years to do it

[slender skiff]

I've already found my peak isekai long time ago

[frosty knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/taarna-heavymetal-gif-17973426

[frosty knoll]

Doesn’t have Black Sabbath, 0/10

Or a Corvette getting dropped from orbit

Or

bush

https://tenor.com/view/taihou-taiho-azur-lane-slow-ahead-uwu-gif-20555643

[slender skiff]

[frosty knoll]

[slender skiff]

Well admittedly it only became peak for me after I began reading the source material

[frosty knoll]

Gotta love French comics from the 70s

[slender skiff]

But yeah nothing has even come close to beating that

Surprise surprise
Action is secondary

[frosty knoll]

Loser nerd tries to generate electricity with lightning

Ends up hitting a meteorite

Wakes up in a new body after tripping through time and space

Stops a sacrifice

Steals the meteorite

10/10

[slender skiff]

Chad, but a bit too much details

[frosty knoll]

How?

[slender skiff]

I'm just gonna delete stuff before another mod sees and starts warning for NSFW lmao

[frosty knoll]

But

It’s French

🥖

[slender skiff]

Won't deny tho

That is amazing alright

A very different kind of amazing

[frosty knoll]

It’s not even half an hour long

[slender skiff]

It sounds like something you'd need to be drunk out of your mind to fully appreciate though

[frosty knoll]

That’s just ONE sequence in Heavy Metal

The soundtrack is insane too

They recorded an original version of “Mob Rules” just for it

[slender skiff]

Incidentally
Your thoughts on Initial D?

[frosty knoll]

Great anime, bad localization

Fuck Legend

The sound design and soundtrack is wrong

[slender skiff]

Legend was the remake right

[frosty knoll]

Yeah

[slender skiff]

I remember people making a fuss cos they threw out all the Eurobeat

[frosty knoll]

The sound design was “realistic”

Initial D TV anime designed the sound like you were at the wheel

Legend decided you were just a spectator

[slender skiff]

From the few clips I've seen
I feel like I actually under what's going on better in the originals rather than the remake

Sound is one thing

Camera angles lmao

[frosty knoll]

This combined with the lack of Eurobeat takes you out of the viewing experience

[slender skiff]

Any action film or cartoon or anime is made or broken by camera angles

[frosty knoll]

Initial D had lots of long tracking shots

[slender skiff]

Well, it works for racing

[frosty knoll]

And remarkably good CGI for 1995 TV anime

[slender skiff]

Oh absolutely

It's staggering to believe it's 1995

[frosty knoll]

Sound design, soundtrack, and writing help

[frosty knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/beast-wars-optimus-primal-gorilla-well-that-just-prime-gif-16437074

Don’t knock what Mainframe Entertainment was doing though

[slender skiff]

Like I won't deny the modern adaptation looks... Less CGI

[frosty knoll]

Beast Wars has so many new advancements in CGI

[slender skiff]

But FFS it's a cartoon/anime

Not a fucking Asphalt or NFS game

[frosty knoll]

Notably: Fog

[frosty knoll]

Fuck Unbound

Genuinely

Why can’t we get a fully celshaded racing game

[slender skiff]

I watched a side by side comparison of the old and new initial D

[frosty knoll]

Like, Code Vein visuals

But racing game

[slender skiff]

Aside from literally maybe one 3s shot

I find everything else worse in the remake

Lmao

[frosty knoll]

The later TV seasons had beautiful CGI

[solid nebula]

Wangan midnight mfs

[frosty knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/initiald-頭文字d-ae86-86-ハチロク-gif-25085891

[frosty knoll]

TRUE

[slender skiff]

This video compared the first important scene

The one where he wins the race while delivering tofu

Or ya know

That KANSEI DRIFTO scene

[frosty knoll]

Opening the first episode with Space Boy was great

[frosty knoll]

I’m aware

It wasn’t even a race

[slender skiff]

Isn't Wangan specifically more "old" style rather than modern

[frosty knoll]

Keisuke just happened to be driving while he was delivering the tofu

[slender skiff]

Which is hilarious

[silver robin]

ive not seen anyone trash akira

[frosty knoll]

Takumi is literally just the definition of humble brag throughout First Stage

[slender skiff]

Wait are they actually still making Wangan?

[frosty knoll]

I have

[slender skiff]

[frosty knoll]

If they do it in person

I beat them.

[silver robin]

[frosty knoll]

All spoiled brats are catching are these hands

[slender skiff]

Oh

Geezus Wangan is still being made

[frosty knoll]

Anime?

Or we talking games and movies?

muffled Love And Gold

[slender skiff]

Game

[frosty knoll]

Yep

[slender skiff]

Still being made for arcade by Bandai

[frosty knoll]

Oh yeah

The graphics are crazy now

Look up Wangan Devil by Jeremiah Kane

All that footage was captured in one of the games

[slender skiff]

Are they actually modern

Or still retain the old style

[frosty knoll]

The graphics?

They’re modern

[slender skiff]

Yeah

[frosty knoll]

Beautifully so

The night environment does a lot

[slender skiff]

Ah good there's a comparison video

[frosty knoll]

Seriously

Do it

It’s a fucking face off between KITT and the Devil Z

[slender skiff]

As in it's a video of someone playing?

Ah

[frosty knoll]

Yeah

[frosty knoll]

The music video was done with game footage

It’s like machinima, but racing game

[solid nebula]

Best I got is wangman 6 aka the one after that

[slender skiff]

From the images I've seen from Google

[frosty knoll]

Imma just post the music video

Since

It’s an anime game

[slender skiff]

I like how it's modern but still retro at the same time

[frosty knoll]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CgrXjTEtIws

[slender skiff]

Or maybe that's just arcade being arcade

[frosty knoll]

Could also just be modded Asetto Corsa

[slender skiff]

My point was that asphalt and NFS are modern all round

[solid nebula]

Modded asseto corsa

Comments said so

[frosty knoll]

Damn

Still

Devil Z

Against 87 Trans-Am

[solid nebula]

And also because the latest wangan midnight games is Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6 RR

[frosty knoll]

10/10 matchup

[slender skiff]

I like how it started as a manga

[frosty knoll]

F

[slender skiff]

But is now known more as the arcade racing game

I can't tell if that's an L or a W lmao

[frosty knoll]

Also uh

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AjXr9Nj5ZbI&pp=ygUNcGF0aHMgb2YgaGF0ZQ%3D%3D

Not anime but

Why can’t we get more celshaded 3D animation that doesn’t suck

[solid nebula]

dunno

[slender skiff]

...wait did I forget Forza for modern racing games

LMFAO

[solid nebula]

you did

[slender skiff]

Shows how little I know huh

[solid nebula]

but Forza is a mix between arcade and realism

it's a sim-cade

[slender skiff]

Simpcade more like

[solid nebula]

NFS is just pure arcade

the crew is just cocaine

[frosty knoll]

Horizon, yes

Motorsport and GT are soft sim

[slender skiff]

Probably cos the cost would be through the roof in today's age

That and the most crucial factor

[frosty knoll]

BeamNG and AC are hard sim

[slender skiff]

The people who can still do good celshading are dying out

[frosty knoll]

How?

[slender skiff]

To my understanding

[frosty knoll]

Code Vein has good in engine cel shading

[slender skiff]

There are simply less and less people that still dabble in celshading now

[solid nebula]

this entire animation is "There is a BEAST deep inside you, it will not die, it will fight back"

[frosty knoll]

Fucking video games can do it

[slender skiff]

It's a dying art

[frosty knoll]

And also about how mankind will always fight itself

[slender skiff]

So if you have less people capable of doing work

[solid nebula]

i'm not going to get into the deep nuance of the animation. am referecning wart hunder

[frosty knoll]

Paths of Hate pretty much sums up one of the core themes of Tomino’s Gundam

[slender skiff]

Basic economics tell you
If the demand remains the same while supply decreases, cost goes up

That's what I meant by cost going up through the roof

[frosty knoll]

Blegh

[solid nebula]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzgPXOw2plI thunder war

[frosty knoll]

Oh

[slender skiff]

At this point I'm convinced that the game industry simply pays better

[frosty knoll]

Games can do it in engine

[slender skiff]

The difference good pay makes

I guess this long winded discussion has managed to arrive at the source of the problem

[solid nebula]

bruh you want cell shade? ight, stay right there bucko

[frosty knoll]

Just begs the question of how the God Eater anime looks not great

[slender skiff]

The gaming industry is stealing our animators!

Or some other clickbaity headline here

[solid nebula]

valkriya chronicles

a prime old example

[frosty knoll]

I know

Also Borderlands

XIII

[solid nebula]

fair

[slender skiff]

Going back to how we started this topic

[frosty knoll]

That’s a really old one

Code Vein stuff can be posted here because it’s in the God Eater universe and the Gaol of the Mists has a background cameo in an episode of the anime

[slender skiff]

I just feel artstyle in general is one of the major factors in making someone either buy into an anime
Or fucking off from it

[frosty knoll]

And most modern shows have really stock art styles

Probably due to A1 being ubiquitous

And lazy

[slender skiff]

A1 definitely was one of the causes

They're more quiet now though

[solid nebula]

wait, what?

CV is part of the god eater universe?

[silver robin]

unironically me

[solid nebula]

well i'll be damned

[slender skiff]

JC is the king of mass produced garbage (everything) now

Project No.9 is the king of "Polished animation,but identical artstyle in almost every fucking work"

Like theirs is so uncanny to the point you'd be forgiven for thinking they're the same series

[silver robin]

yep

i gotta give jc credit for the new show though

[slender skiff]

Looking at Tenshi, Motokano and Higehiro in particular...

[silver robin]

this season we have the small senpai one

which also looks similar

[slender skiff]

Yep

Btw

Have you seen the Motokano characters

Do you notice any uh

[silver robin]

yes...?

[slender skiff]

Resemblance

To a non-project no 9 work

[silver robin]

yea i know its the same artist as something else

[slender skiff]

Which

[silver robin]

i forgot

but i know its the same artist as another famous series

ah yes

[silver robin]

same as arifureta

[slender skiff]

Hijinks ensue

Also a h-artist

Cos ofc

[silver robin]

yes

we have discussed this before

[slender skiff]

Thank fuck project no.9 couldn't butcher tomozaki's artstyle

Fly sensei's artstyle is too unique

[silver robin]

i thought it was normal

and generic

[slender skiff]

Well it's toned down a lot from the LN

But it's still there

[silver robin]

oh so thats why the artist was familiar

its the same artist as this

[slender skiff]

Oh

Right

That's why I wanted to read that

[silver robin]

its alright

[slender skiff]

Credit given where credit is due

[silver robin]

hey did you know the title has nothing to do with the main point of the story

[slender skiff]

Cos the art is really quite nice

[silver robin]

who would have guessed

[slender skiff]

...

[silver robin]

well it literally happens in like chapter 1, then they move on from it

[silver robin]

its just used as a plot device to reconnect the characters together

[slender skiff]

I'll still give it a shot anyways

But as I've said a few times before

Tomozaki is goddamn underrated

Admittedly it has a very uh... Weak premise

It's a shame

The premise is so poor for a genuinely interesting series

As of the latest volume (2nd to last) it's become a stretch to call this a romance series

It's a lot more than that

It's not diabetes 24/7

[silver robin]

well yes i figured

cause it looks like love triangles galore

[slender skiff]

It's not Boku no karakai jouzu nagataro-san yabai yatsu teasing 24/7

Yes that sentence made no sense I'm sorry

[slender skiff]

Surprisingly, no

[silver robin]

holy shit this is unrelated but i just found something really random

[slender skiff]

Only one

And even that triangle was resolved almost immediately

[silver robin]

ender have you heard of the series chitose kun is in the ramune bottle

[slender skiff]

Because the mc was forced into making a choice

I have heard of it many times

[silver robin]

the artist worked on katawa shoujo

[slender skiff]

It's huge in JP

[silver robin]

as one of the main artists

[slender skiff]

....it's not raita right

[silver robin]

https://myanimelist.net/people/52368/ this guy

[slender skiff]

Don't scare me geezus

I really thought it was raikou's artist for a second

But ya the series is huge in JP

[silver robin]

yes

[slender skiff]

It's dominating the kono light novel ga sugoi standings

[silver robin]

yep

[slender skiff]

I haven't read it though

I think only 4 volumes in english?

[silver robin]

my fan tl collegues say its overrated

[slender skiff]

No idea if a fan TL exists

Probably does tho

But yes sam

[silver robin]

i haven't read it yes

[slender skiff]

Do read tomozaki the next time you get an opportunity to borrow

...when you catch up with bookworm

Though that's gonna take a while

[silver robin]

tomozaki isn't in the library unfortunately

[slender skiff]

...ok why the fuck is the drunkard driving

"Bocchi the dead as a rock"

[silver robin]

lol

[slender skiff]

Bruh

The drunkard is the only one with a license

And this is her sober

Wtf

Ryo...

Pls

[silver robin]

ryo moment

[slender skiff]

It gets worse

She got drunk on amakaze (non-alcoholic)

So did bocchi

Classic Bocchi

[solid nebula]

She may be drunk, but she's drunk responsibly

[slender skiff]

She punches holes in walls frequently

And can't do a gig without getting drunk

How is that responsible

[solid nebula]

Not drink and driving

One you just gotta pay the fee for
The other costs your life

[silver robin]

@slender skiff holy shit anime advertisement is real

tsuntsuntsuntsundere short web manga ended

[grim pebble]

Fucking slime

[grim pebble]

Suger content

[stable herald]

SUICIDE HUNTER NEW CHAPTER WOOOOOOOOOOOO

Her side profile is hot ngl

shes just teasing him at this point

lol

[solemn pollen]

Red eyes white hair

[stable herald]

i have more

@solemn pollen

[solemn pollen]

booba too

[quaint patrol]

monkas

https://myanimelist.net/manga/151025/Goodbye_Sengen

[slender skiff]

My brain went to Bollywood actress instead of Hollywood

And that's a very different kind of actress lmao

[silver robin]

i have seen this before

[quaint patrol]

i just found it off a random author i was reading

[silver robin]

nice

my fan tl group did the tl for the wn of this

[trim swan]

bollywood better than Hollywood anyways

tollywood best

[silver robin]

holy shit someone else who knows tollywood

[trim swan]

[slender skiff]

Tollywood does have the best movies

Unfortunately I grew up with kolly so

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

Did I ever mention my mother tongue or rather father tongue is Tamil

[quaint patrol]

definitely not

ive only just now learned of tolly and kolly

[slender skiff]

That's why I couldn't stop laughing when that kabbadi manga actually got an anime

[quaint patrol]

i knew bolly at least

[slender skiff]

Too many languages

[trim swan]

I knew sam and zuyi were Indian
til ender is one too

[silver robin]

why kollywood then

i thought kollywood was kannada

[slender skiff]

Kolly is Tamil

[trim swan]

too many languages indeed

[slender skiff]

I'm not from India tho
That's the difference

[silver robin]

sri lanka?

[slender skiff]

Then there's a good chance I'd be Sinhalese instead

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

Nah only one of my grandparents came from India

I stay in Singapore, and my parents are locals so

[silver robin]

[trim swan]

[weak glacier]

[ivory mauve]

She knows!!!!

[solid nebula]

I am minorly confused so I require the sauce mr tungy

[ivory mauve]

Can you be more obvious

[thorn briar]

KFC guy

Thanks for hiji , haibara and kid , they made ran think they are different people

Sera wants to know about the the medicine that haibara made and conan uses to get to his bigger self

[thorn briar]

[trim swan]

[silver robin]

based grandma lol

[silver robin]

thats a good reference lol

[echo quiver]

Ran stop talking

[thorn briar]

So Mary left her daughter and came back to her later as a child

[echo quiver]

this is how you find out about your new siblings

[thorn briar]

But , that's her mom

[echo quiver]

she's her sister now

[thorn briar]

Oh wait

Yes

She told her daughter to tell conan that's she's the sister from another dimension

[thorn briar]

Sera knows now that haibara acts mature or older way

[slender skiff]

This is Conan right

Not some fantasy drama

[thorn briar]

Yes

Conan

[echo quiver]

what's the difference

[slender skiff]

...I think it's high time I go back to watching Conan O'Brien

[echo quiver]

i swear every time i search up conan on google

[neat pelican]

Ah yes the better Conan to watch

[echo quiver]

some guy doing some late night tv show pops up instead

[slender skiff]

That's indeed Conan O'Brien

[thorn briar]

[echo quiver]

so i have to type in detective afterwards

[thorn briar]

Who is this

[slender skiff]

Famous late night tv talk show host

Been doing it for the last 28 years or so

[thorn briar]

[gusty light]

a tall late night show host who happened to be 100% Irish

[slender skiff]

Which I should clarify, is extremely long

[neat pelican]

Lake Night Talk Shows are a thing in the US as well by the way

[slender skiff]

If you type Conan detective
You get Conan Doyle instead

[echo quiver]

dang. he beat detective conan air date by 3 years

i just get detective conan. because it's the name of the show

[gusty light]

Conan the Barbarian

[slender skiff]

If you ask who Conan Doyle is I'll smack you

[thorn briar]

I know him

[echo quiver]

yeah, who's this conan the barbarian person

[thorn briar]

[gusty light]

I don't know him

[silver robin]

i only know a sir arthur

[slender skiff]

Holmes

The author of Sherlock Holmes

[silver robin]

author of sherlock holmes

[thorn briar]

[echo quiver]

actually just watson's pen name

[slender skiff]

That's where Conan Edogawa's name even comes from

[gusty light]

[silver robin]

i have a friend whos parents named him conan after meitantei conan

[slender skiff]

It comes from probably the most famous mystery author in history

[silver robin]

thats how old the show is

[slender skiff]

At least it's a good name

[silver robin]

yes

[slender skiff]

And not an obvious weeb one since it's an English name

Responsible? Parents

[echo quiver]

turns out they only read the manga

[solid nebula]

what in the hell

[silver robin]

sauce

[slender skiff]

What in the horni hell

[gusty light]

Isekai de Haishin Katsudou wo Shitara

[silver robin]

on an unrelated note, this is true

[gusty light]

something like that

[slender skiff]

Ofc it's an isekai

[gusty light]

and no, it's not an ecchi manga, rest assured

[silver robin]

why is the guy livestreaming in an isekai

[gusty light]

iunno

[slender skiff]

Why is koumei rapping in an isekai?

[silver robin]

guess it needs to stand out from the crowd somehow

[slender skiff]

Most importantly of all

[silver robin]

the thing is music transcends time

livestreaming does not transcend time

[slender skiff]

Why is Nobu a girl in multiple isekais

[gusty light]

guy's doing something like a late night radio talk or something

[silver robin]

so hes a podcaster

[slender skiff]

Rap is a very recent invention by the way

[gusty light]

yep

[echo quiver]

nobu transcends space

[slender skiff]

It's only been around for less than 100 years

[silver robin]

because cute girls sell

[slender skiff]

Back then it would have been
Poetry battles or something

[silver robin]

blame the market not the creator

[slender skiff]

Honestly I don't know which Nobu is better

This

[silver robin]

is that fate

[slender skiff]

Or this

[slender skiff]

That it is

[slender skiff]

I couldn't find an alternate gif
Almost all the other gifs on tenor about this show are for shibata katsuie instead

Nobu in fate is a meme 80% of the time btw

[silver robin]

is that the show where all the warlords are loli girls

[slender skiff]

A joke character in Koha ace that became a serious character in redline

[slender skiff]

Yes

It's also where that infamous quote of
"Boobs are filled with a man's hopes and dreams" came from

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

That legendary quote yes

[echo quiver]

you know what's the great thing about conan? you get actual new content and not like... 6 minutes of flashbacks to save on production costs

unlike some other anime

[silver robin]

thats cause 80% of episodes are self contained

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/sOsyj6oYDRo

[slender skiff]

This

Conan falls into the trope of a lot of long running shounens

Just that instead of monster of the week

It's mystery of the week

[silver robin]

i couldn't get into this show cause of the animation quality

[slender skiff]

The episodic nature is even why it's lasted this long

And I think it's fairly obvious that Conan's episode numbers knock One Piece out of the water

[thorn briar]

I just learned that the guy who talked to the black organisation when he appeared in conan movie 26 was actually Rum

I don't want to spoil more

[echo quiver]

Detective Haibara

[thorn briar]

Ayumi being right

[echo quiver]

toof

how come rank 2 tokyo karate champion can only take out 5 guys before getting cut while rank 1 can beat up like 50

ran gotta step up her game

rank 1 can also dodge bullets

[grim pebble]

Smash

[grim pebble]

I can't tell what that is, sauce?

[slender skiff]

@grim pebble

That's the sauce

[quaint patrol]

i expected this to be a low quality manga due to being founded off a song, but it's actually aight

i like the artist, and the manga seems like one of those short manga with a goal to end at

[grim pebble]

Oh great

[quaint patrol]

what manga was this again

[quaint patrol]

i sauced myself

it was the fed up office lady

[trim swan]

i couldnt find it on saucenao yandex or google and figured it wasnt worth my time to go deeper

[quaint patrol]

man i like this artist but his works are just so bleh

not enough SoL to drama ratio in anything

ofc this time is not his story

[quaint patrol]

huh, mustve not hit the main character arts enough

[silver robin]

we are polar opposites or something

[gusty light]

you'll get there someday, buddy

[stable herald]

FUcking hell

THE GOOSEBUMPS LETSGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[grim pebble]

Dad is police officer
Daughter is borderline criminal

[stable herald]

thats one hell of a unique artstyle

[grim pebble]

Oh so it turned out that she is like the few people that still have fucking common sense in Japan 2080

[slender skiff]

[faint crag]

I wanted to say it looks cute, but Ender's reaction is

[trim swan]

nomitters got a bit of history with that image

[grim pebble]

Which manga start the...

Raise by very powerful, wise, ect... individuals and become fucking op

Specifically raised alone

Like the mc know no one outside of the people raised him

[echo quiver]

faraway paladin?

[grim pebble]

I remember something else called "wise man's grandchild"?

Is that right?

[echo quiver]

that's just one old guy though

but yeah, he also becomes op

there's also a similar one that's pretty much identical but it's an entire village raising him

[quaint patrol]

bro

i just skimmed the bookworm anime

some of these spells are like one minute long chants

20-30 seconds for the rest

the formatting just didnt transfer well

and the vibes are different from the novel

[grim pebble]

How many of the thing out there

And does it count as copied?

[echo quiver]

i think it's just a very common idea to have an overpowered hermit teaching you how to also be overpowered

[grim pebble]

Idk like the amount of books that come after Harry Potter, some definitely is even better than Harry Potter but not as popular

[echo quiver]

basically also that recent one. fruit of evolution's successor

[grim pebble]

And I sure that there are stuff that come before Harry Potter but not known

[ivory mauve]

[thorn briar]

He lifted the car

[echo quiver]

why doesn't he just karate it

can dodge bullets but can't karate a car

[thorn briar]

He's the strongest karate guy in detective conan

They scouted him to act cause he knocked 1 of the actors , cause he thought that the actor was actually a guy who was threatening a girl

Wasn't the drug that her parents did killed all the ones that were forced to eat it

[ivory mauve]

I miss knd

[thorn briar]

[echo quiver]

did you know that knd stands for KoNan Detective

that's right

[thorn briar]

[echo quiver]

it's just detective conan

[ivory mauve]

Aqua isn't wrong tho

[thorn briar]

Weren't they spies

[ivory mauve]

Not totally spies

Oh god i forgot kuki stole Grim's sythe

[thorn briar]

I miss them

This as well

[ivory mauve]

Yes

FOSTER'S HOME FOR IMAGERY FRIENDS!!!!!

[thorn briar]

This used to scare me

@echo quiver conan's mom

[echo quiver]

she's cute until she pulls out the squirt guns in an abandoned house at night and starts shooting you in the back

[thorn briar]

She won't do that when you bring vermouth with you

Wait

If u bring vermouth

They will both stab you in the back

[echo quiver]

last time conan complained to his mom about vermouth possibly following him around, she just went, "dang, that's scary. anyways, im gonna fly to america. have fuuuuuun"

[thorn briar]

Vermouth isn't as evil as gin

[slender skiff]

I suddenly opened this chat to see my childhood

[weak glacier]

Gundam, Sailor Moon, Fate, I can think of a lot more

[grim pebble]

A fucking fat bishop that aren't cartoonistlly evil, corrupt?

But based even?

[thorn briar]

I reached ep 996 in detective conan

[grim pebble]

When does it end

[echo quiver]

end?

[grim pebble]

Fucking

[thorn briar]

[grim pebble]

Well so using watch the last ep of detective conan as your last wish would either let you live a little bit longer or make you fucking immortal

[thorn briar]

All I know is that I'm not ready when the last episode airs

I'm pretty sure I will cry

[ivory mauve]

https://www.livechart.me/summer-2023/tv

Soon this will end

and the next season will start

ITS FUCKING LOADED MY GOD

Already more than 5 shows I want to actively watch

My list

of what's good next season

[echo quiver]

what the hell

[flat cedar]

zamn she pissed

source: My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer

[echo quiver]

goblin slyer gonna be made by same people who made the thigh anime

[thorn briar]

[echo quiver]

i haven't seen anything they've made except cells at work

like, what is this "initial D" thing

and "berserk". yeah, goblin slayer season 2 gonna be bad

oh wait, they only made the initial d movies and berserk scores under 60% on anilist

[flat cedar]

Liden has cleaned up their act recently

[thorn briar]

A racing anime according to ender

[echo quiver]

damn, here i go jinxing myself again

should have just kept my mouth shut

[thorn briar]

[echo quiver]

even thigh anime doing bad

[flat cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/deja-vu-anime-car-gif-24099480

[echo quiver]

suffering

i just want good goblin slayer

[flat cedar]

GOTTA STEP ON THE GAS

[echo quiver]

gas gas gas

[thorn briar]

I never seen it

[echo quiver]

yup, goblin slayer season 2 is actually doomed. hopefully i can jinx myself again and it'll actually be good

[thorn briar]

But , I can tell that amuro and akai drive crazier than that

[echo quiver]

have you not seen conan's mom

[thorn briar]

I did

She's already crazy

She's a fan of akai

[echo quiver]

let me go get her completely sane ™️ driving scene

[red magnet]

whats the thigh anime

[echo quiver]

atelier thighza

[red magnet]

oh

[silver robin]

I think its alright

[echo quiver]

maybe like 30 episodes later:
conan: "Will you take it easy? You have 5 kids in the car!"
conan's mom: "okay. okay."
proceeds to drift

[thorn briar]

This appeared when I searched for conan's mom driving

Also I found a video of kid flirting with conan's mom

[slender skiff]

The difference is
Ryza anime is original iirc

And in any case

Most video game anime don't tend to do particularly well

I expect GS to be compared to Mushoku a lot if anything

Especially for new viewers

Cos hurr durr my edgy fantasy

[thorn briar]

[slender skiff]

When the plot demands, the plot produces

[thorn briar]

I'm at episode 1000 in detective conan now

[faint crag]

[grim pebble]

Man have you been sleeping properly

[slender skiff]

So it's indeed possible to catch up on one piece

[echo quiver]

genta

im sorry, what

no one likes genta

that last lady is the murderer

i guarantee it. suspicious as hell

[echo quiver]

oof. that poor last girl

gonna have an identity crisis for the rest of her life

[thorn briar]

There was no murder in that episode, it was a nursing home for those rich old ladies

[slender skiff]

Yet

Also what's with the sheer number of murders in Conan

There are other forms of crimes people

[thorn briar]

There was 1 crime , where the wife killed her husband cause he loved figures and he spent his money on them

[thorn briar]

And the couple who owned this nursing home, wanted to use all the money that the old ladies own to buy hotel in dubai and they tried to make them sign papers that will make all the money go to the couple

When the criminal is a girl , before they confess , they immediately have a scary face and laugh

[echo quiver]

til no comment in japanese is just no commento

it's like spanish class all over again

[slender skiff]

It's not Aqua

[echo quiver]

i mean, audially

detective conan would never lie to me

[slender skiff]

It's cos the traditional way of saying it is just way more difficult
Or there isn't a proper word for it

So they appropriated the English word into common dialogue

Many languages do this lol

Especially Asian languages in former colonies

@silver robin can confirm

[echo quiver]

which is why it's like spanish class

they just added an o to the end of it!

[faint crag]

It's also kinda a cultural thing
a lot of phrases come from american movies so people just incorporate it
I can easily imagine someone saying "no comment" casually in english here just to add some flare

[slender skiff]

As an example
The word in my mother tongue for phone is tholaipesi (when romanised)
But everyone just calls it a phone in typical everyday dialogue

[solid nebula]

I made a mistake I let it cook for too long and now it's ending

[echo quiver]

i thought that was a manga title at first

or manhwa

[solid nebula]

Mannwha

Manwha

It's good

[echo quiver]

"I let it cook for too long and now it's ending" sounds like a title to me

[slender skiff]

Cos no one wants to use 4 syllables for the word phone

[echo quiver]

[solid nebula]

LMFAO

[slender skiff]

Btw the same applies with TV

[solid nebula]

[slender skiff]

Common japanese word for TV is telebi

No, not teletubbies

[echo quiver]

i think it locks all the episodes after it ends so you might want to catch up

and only lets you read like one a day or something

[solid nebula]

This is where I stopped

[silver robin]

yep

english idioms make their way into all languages

[solid nebula]

I was there when it was in the early days and now it's gonna end

I don't wanna binge but I shouldn't of let it cook

[slender skiff]

It do be like that

[echo quiver]

nothing you can't solve in 6 hours of binging

[slender skiff]

That said

[solid nebula]

I have game grinding inbetween

[slender skiff]

I wish there were more stuff that I discovered before they became popular

Like off the top of my head I can only think of Oshi no Ko

[solid nebula]

Me discovering sword art online in 2015

[slender skiff]

That's probably like the only series I've followed from the very beginning

[faint crag]

oshi no ko was pretty hyped since the start

since "next series from kaguya author"

[slender skiff]

Well yes, it is Kaguya's mangaka

[echo quiver]

on the bright side, you have a record of where you stopped. for some manhwa, i came back to them after they ended and didn't know where i stopped... and it was too much effort to search through the episodes using the free passes

[solid nebula]

Sousou no frieren
Naze Boku
Sword King Isekai into a girl

[slender skiff]

Is there anything else tho hmm

[solid nebula]

Unnamed memory

[echo quiver]

oshi no ko is by kaguya author

[solid nebula]

Bride of Barbori goes hard

[slender skiff]

Yes, just not same artist

[solid nebula]

True

[slender skiff]

Kaguya author said he was too tired of drawing

So now he's writing

[solid nebula]

I remembered because the author makes their title memorable with their art

sigh time to do a akb49 and binge the utter shit out of it

[faint crag]

I think Fujimoto was saying something like that as well
that he'd like to switch to being a writer more than an artist

[solid nebula]

Swear to god akb49 is the only manga where I binged it for days straight

[faint crag]

(CSM author)

[slender skiff]

I'm just waiting for the day

Akasaka just becomes an LN author

Though I don't think his narrative style works well for LN
It would probably make an interesting challenge though

[faint crag]

he might surprise you
who knows

he's a good writer
I'd be interested in checking a novel by him if he ends up writing one

[echo quiver]

weird how manhwas always have a 3 person team of writer, arter, and painter (officially writing, ink, and color, but my terms are better) but manga are always just artist doing everything

[faint crag]

(we'd need Apex to close for that first)

[slender skiff]

Yeah it's more so a challenge
But given his talents it's something he can overcome

And anyways

He has sort of written an LN anyways

[faint crag]

FAR from always

and there's a lot of assistents usually

[slender skiff]

He did make one LN special for Oshi no Ko (the one called 45510)

[slender skiff]

This

[solid nebula]

Ain't that a prequel

[slender skiff]

Yes it is a prequel

But it's was written as a one shot LN

Rather than a manga

[solid nebula]

Oh ok, wonder how fast we can get before Ai gets given the London special

[slender skiff]

It's just that assistants don't usually get much uh

Focus

If you want to know how many assistants mangaka get well

[solid nebula]

The galaxy next door

Giving assistants a focus

And also surprisingly a pixel game from Kairosoft

[faint crag]

depends on mangaka I guess
it's a pretty known Hata was an assistent for Kumeta

[slender skiff]

Barakamon is probably the gold standard?

[solid nebula]

I still can't believe those guys met the author of rent a girlfriend

To see how manga is made

[slender skiff]

I mean

Fwiw, it sells really damn well

[solid nebula]

This was back in the dat

Day

Before it got the anime

Am talking like 3 guys in a basement doing art

(over exaggeration)

[slender skiff]

Oh hmm

[faint crag]

nozaki-kun tho

any team should consist of people you can shamelessly use as prototypes for your romance manga

[slender skiff]

Right I did read tenshi before it was popular

[slender skiff]

Nozaki is amazing yeah lmao

Nozaki and Barakamon are the first I think of

Even tho I never watched the latter

There's also Kakushigotou and Mangaka-san to Assistant-san

Tho Kakushigotou is a Kumeta work so...

[faint crag]

barakamon isn't really about the manga tho

are you thinking of bakuman lmao?

[solid nebula]

https://youtu.be/t3rKrTehORY

[slender skiff]

Right

Bakuman

[faint crag]

barakamon is great tho

[slender skiff]

At least I didn't confuse with Bakugan

[solid nebula]

This comment section has more character development than the actual story the mangaka was creating

[slender skiff]

[echo quiver]

that didn't age well

[solid nebula]

I hare how am in that that comment section

[slender skiff]

To be fair

For as much as I bash it

It's actually entertaining

I've said it before

But I rather read rental than continue Komi

[solid nebula]

I'd rather read akb49

[slender skiff]

I mean

[echo quiver]

what the hell happened in 2022

[solid nebula]

Stuff

[slender skiff]

Akb49 wasn't even written by Reiji

[solid nebula]

Specifically chapter 200 something

[slender skiff]

That's the difference

Akb49 was only drawn by him

[solid nebula]

IT WAS?!

[slender skiff]

Dear god...

[solid nebula]

Thought it was one of his assistants

Well shit, right then

Good to know

[echo quiver]

goddamn. that's a TON of assistants

just to draw funny black and white panels

[slender skiff]

He can't write that well

[solid nebula]

All I know is, in there, there is just a wonky speech bubble

Drawn by a YouTuber

[slender skiff]

Before you ask, I have no idea who that is

[echo quiver]

it's a motorboat factory

[slender skiff]

It's very rare for a popular author's standards to improve between works tbh

Usually they remain the same

[echo quiver]

oh, moto-azabu is a place in tokyo

all i know is beika-cho

wtf, beika is fake

damn it. that means i dont know any places in tokyo

usually they use real towns and landmarks in anime so i thought it was real

[slender skiff]

Dude

How do you not know Tokyo Tower at the very least

[echo quiver]

i dont care for travel

too poor

[slender skiff]

Bish it appears in so many anime

Hatamaou was the first that came to mind for me

[silver robin]

as someone who is too deep in the hiro mashima rabbit hole to get out
i can confirm this

[slender skiff]

There's also stuff the Kinkakuji and Jinkakuji in Kyoto

Which has been referred into in Oregairu and Tonikawa

[silver robin]

kinkakuji is famous

golden temple is the eng translation of its name

[slender skiff]

Though that's probably less well known to the average person than Tokyo Tower
