[zinc lance]

@trim swan not me

[stable herald]

@trim swan same

[slender skiff]

PFFFFT

In the middle of the most serious conversation ever

(she gave up after being pointed out she had a skill issue)

[quaint patrol]

||she's ACTING LOL WTF||
AKA is soooooo wild

i thought she was like some visional apparition

she was physically there????

[slender skiff]

The whole chapter is a glorious shit fest

[quaint patrol]

i thought she was a ghost this whole time

[slender skiff]

While she's dropping huge lorebombs on us

[quaint patrol]

i love it

[slender skiff]

Aqua is trying to get her to act

The entire time

[quaint patrol]

the lore bombs are pretty funny

so she's just a ||reincarnator probably||

[slender skiff]

That's the implication

[quaint patrol]

the comment section on reddit is pretty funny

||crow girl's mom is just driving her around to aqua's and ruby's locations to fuck with them||

aqua is yagoo

||crow girl is just fucking with them like aqua and ruby fucked with miyako||

https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/guides/2023/9/26/how-to-watch-horimiya-in-chronological-order

[slender skiff]

Oh huh

Someone actually made a list

[quaint patrol]

this is following on the heels of "maybe aqua is already broken"
idk wtf aka is leading to

[slender skiff]

As the saying goes

Let him cook

[unkempt briar]

We all know the best way to watch horimiya is ||to not||

[silver robin]

did you say "not to"

yep

[unkempt briar]

No I said “to not”

[silver robin]

same diff

[unkempt briar]

What is this channel’s thoughts on heavenly delusion

[quaint patrol]

is it that ecchi show

woops no

[silver robin]

production ig original not sports looks interesting ig

thats basically my thoughts on it

[unkempt briar]

[silver robin]

cause what are the other production ig original not sports?
its like psycho pass and guilty crown

and it has that same vibe of dystopian society shit

[unkempt briar]

It’s uh

Not original tho

[silver robin]

actually nvm heavenly delusion isnt an original it's based on a manga

[unkempt briar]

It’s a manga

[silver robin]

but same diff

production ig doing not sports is rare ish

[unkempt briar]

Hmm they did moriarty and the new lotgh

Well before their sports phase they were the sci-fi bois

[thorn briar]

The murders in moriarty, in the manga is different than the anime

[echo quiver]

of course, he's the napoleon of crime, not the predictable-guy of crime

[quaint patrol]

[oshi no ko] ||what if crow girl a the victim of kamiki, and her leading aqua to his dad is her form of revenge||

[echo quiver]

[slender skiff]

Crack on crack
But given aka, it might just well happen

[slender skiff]

You and res both

[unkempt briar]

Res based as per usual

[slender skiff]

Res is based yes

You're not tho

[unkempt briar]

Uh huh

[silver robin]

Yuni you write 5 page essay mal reviews that are admittedly funny at times, but

Mal reviewer

[unkempt briar]

Ok and?

[grim pebble]

Great

[thorn briar]

Despite this, him and sherlock became friends

[grim pebble]

Reading manga is currently giving me existential crisis, but kurzgesagt still giving me more

[unkempt briar]

The in a nutshell guy?

[echo quiver]

"Hey, this song is pretty good. I wonder what anime it's fr-"

Kawaki Wo Ameku (Crying For Rain) is a song made by Minami. This song was used in the anime series “Domestic Girlfriend”

[unkempt briar]

some bad anime have bangers, ever heard the OP for Koi to Uso?

[echo quiver]

that's fair. i heard that uh... azno... az no... that sawano anime was pretty bad

[unkempt briar]

aldnoah zero?

[echo quiver]

yeah. i just remember it as the a-z anime

[unkempt briar]

I never watched it so can’t say anything about it, but I don’t know anyone who said good things about it

[slender skiff]

It ain't good

Author left production team by the third episode

[unkempt briar]

Urobutcher right?

[thorn briar]

Amuro's reckless driving

[echo quiver]

i learned from conan that japan has an unhealthy obsession with street racing.

well, either that or just the conan author.

[slender skiff]

Aye

[thorn briar]

That's just amuro , akai and curaçao

They drive like that

I remember them in movie 20

Akai and amuro were chasing curaçao on the bridge while driving with guns

Akai stopped his car and let amuro chase her alone while he was sitting his gun to snipe her

I just remembered movie 20 is the one where amuro and akai fought each other on top of the ferris wheel and amuro was about to fall when akai thrown him

And i just realised that akai was walking on the ceiling , that's why amuro couldn't see where he was after they both fell or jumped from the ferris wheel

wtf

I was looking at the spoilers and I never expected this

[echo quiver]

uh

[zinc lance]

time to die i guess

[faint crag]

that song is great

[silver robin]

minami is pog

she also did vocals for the urusei yatsura remake opening too

[thorn briar]

He hid him this time

[ivory mauve]

Got em

[thorn briar]

Iori

Now we know what his previous work was

[slender skiff]

Am I the only one that imagines the next scene in Aoi Yuuki's voice?

Tanya's voice fits her perfectly lmao

As a side note

Am on the train
And I saw like a middle aged woman reading a physical copy of the Doraemon manga

[thorn briar]

Who are you

[silver robin]

@thorn briar i caught up

[thorn briar]

Congrats

[slender skiff]

It's AFO

[thorn briar]

What's afo

[slender skiff]

MHA primary antagonist

Who wears a similar mask all the time

[thorn briar]

All for one

Is he still alive or no

[slender skiff]

He's alive and actively causing problems in the final arc yes

A lot of problems

[thorn briar]

This guy might be from the BO

Anyway

Haibara is so happy to see thier drama

[ivory mauve]

You too wth

[echo quiver]

haibara faces

haibara mellowed out a lot ever since she's been shipping people

[slender skiff]

Yes Nanami, he did

[stable herald]

LETSGGOOO{OOO

[weak glacier]

I just found the most estoric reference in anime

[weak glacier]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kK_HGNOo9A
If you want to know the reference

They thought they can sneak a Vangelis reference without me noticing

Also another epic moment when Psychopass names drop Philip K Dick

And Kaguya-sama doing a Starship Troopers parody

I hate the author so much, why you doing this to me

You can't just parody my favorite movie to get me to forgive you

[echo quiver]

this dress arc has been going on for weeks now. slow author

[silver robin]

im pogging rn

[silver robin]

hes focusing on the actual published manga

cause the actual published manga has different progression to the web manga

longer chapters

additional story bits

etc.

[quaint patrol]

dress arc is good

cos this is a big resolution

im waiting for next chapter where the dad questions his crossdressing

[silver robin]

time for author to end the web manga with the last page saying "please read the print manga now, thanks"

[echo quiver]

should have done that a few chapters back then

gotta lure them in with dress arc

[weak glacier]

or the dreaded "indefinite hiatus"

[silver robin]

this weeks saint cecelia episode has a chapter which i helped fantl back in 2021
although in the end it didn't get redrawn and typesetted so its languishing in purgatory

[stable herald]

I Felt That

[silver robin]

is that a guy dressed as a girl

or is it yuri

[stable herald]

yuri

Shouraiteki Ni Shinde Kure

Very good

[silver robin]

that title is

dang

[stable herald]

yep

lmao

shorthair girl

how do i say this

shameless indeed, very bold

and savage

[trim swan]

[stable herald]

[gusty light]

my man crossdressing to avoid angering her father lmao

[ivory mauve]

I smell flowers

[weak glacier]

That's quick

[stable herald]

Lmao she got rejected

[thorn briar]

She scared even Ayumi here

[echo quiver]

demon lord haibara

[thorn briar]

She would be more than a demon lord

[stable herald]

"I got reincarnated as a detective solving mysteries and crime cases with a demon lord that quitted her job of taking over the world and joined me on my adventure! "

[thorn briar]

She's a scientist actually

He knew from the tea

Then again she knows who he is and he knows who she is

But , she still doesn't trust him

[echo quiver]

it's hard to tell which one of these are fake these days

last week it was a fake pregnancy. this week it's marriage

[echo quiver]

this is hilarious because this is pretty dang accurate. conan could have easily been an isekai if it came out in the last decade

[thorn briar]

The mc will be conan and the female leads will be haibara and Mary

They look evil

Not even smiling

[trim swan]

look like thugs

[echo quiver]

who is this raccoon

[thorn briar]

Which one

Haibara or Mary

[echo quiver]

i thought they were the same person

wow, the eyes really are genetic

from now on, if i see anyone with eyeliner, ill assume they're part of the haibara clan

[thorn briar]

[echo quiver]

wait, she doesn't have it normally

i see. akai's eyes infected her

[thorn briar]

I just hope that when Mary allows conan to see her , he won't make fun of her eyes like he does with haibara

[echo quiver]

you know he will

they always make fun of akai and haibara's eyes

[thorn briar]

I guess she will slap him if he does that

[thorn briar]

U reminded me when jodie thought that the line under akai's eyes was just a cause he doesn't sleep

Even amuro thinks the same

Only conan knows that it's natural

[flat cedar]

sauce

[thorn briar]

Well, Mary works in the MI6 and haibara was in the black organisation

And they are relatives, since Mary is haibara's aunt

[echo quiver]

wait

that would mean the BO kidnapped someone who's the sister of someone in MI6

and killed two relatives of an MI6 member

[thorn briar]

Elena and akemi

Yes

Elena is Mary's younger sister

[echo quiver]

lol, they're not very smart, making an enemy of every government intelligence organization out there

BO: "Why akai keep bullying us???"
also BO: "lol, let's go make the MI6 mad"

[thorn briar]

But , you know before vermouth drugged Mary she told her that she's dangerous for the BO

So , they can't keep her alive

[echo quiver]

so they've killed members from FBI, CIA, and MI6

[thorn briar]

And they didn't know that she turned small

[echo quiver]

genius

step 1. start a shadow organization.
step 2. proceed to make every intelligence organization mad at you
step 3. cry about silver bullets everywhere
step 4.

[thorn briar]

[silver robin]

I thought this was about eminence for a second

[echo quiver]

no, eminence actually has brain cells

[thorn briar]

Actually Mary's husband is supposed to be dead , but they didn't find his corpse and he works for MI6 too

Mary actually told elena that the BO is sus and not to work with them , so her husband declined thier offer , but cause elena was pregnant, she said how could they afford more money for 4 members of the family

So they started working with the BO

[echo quiver]

they do pay pretty well, to be fair

although everyone they pay ends up dying (usually because conan visits them and then they get murdered by conan's curse)

[thorn briar]

Gin murdered most of them

[echo quiver]

nah

[thorn briar]

He even murdered the guy who was Rum's 2nd hand in movie 26

[echo quiver]

only haibara's family

[thorn briar]

Gin killed akemi , so I guess yes

[echo quiver]

that one programmer was getting paid and got murdered by his colleagues

[thorn briar]

I remember him

[echo quiver]

idunno if gin would have murdered him

maybe. that sounds like a gin thing to do

[thorn briar]

He was going to murder amuro and kir in movie 20

But, akai saved them

As always

[thorn briar]

Vermouth was the one talking to this guy , so gin doesn't know

[thorn briar]

Japan security or secret police too , since scotch said that they figured who he was and wanted to kill himself , which he actually did

[ivory mauve]

We will all suffer from sweetabities

[stable herald]

Holy Moly SHES HUGE

[quasi vault]

Ye

[stable herald]

I meant the Dress

[quasi vault]

LOOO

[stable herald]

@ivory mauve

If its not trauma, what else

[quasi vault]

@stable herald

wanna know something

[stable herald]

[trim swan]

ah estate developer

reading that shit is equivalent to an ab workout

[stable herald]

estate developer is hilarious. MC a huge troll

MY MAN

MY MAN

KEEPING A LONG LOST TREASURE

Holy shit

[quasi vault]

LOL

[stable herald]

Mann, i remembered watching DxD when i was 13

such a great series

[quasi vault]

bro

the covid era

oh by the way i moved the files to my 2nd laptop

so dont mind the 2023

anyway, i still liked this panel more than other manga

such fucking semi-confession

(i read 1K+ chapter of WN after that)

im dying

[echo quiver]

just say it now

coward

[stable herald]

caught in hero summoning?

[quasi vault]

sthuuu the best part was like on volume 6

[stable herald]

or i got the wrong series

[quasi vault]

ye

[stable herald]

is it good

or the mc

is

https://tenor.com/view/blackhole-space-astronomy-gif-25036689

[quasi vault]

the mc? Well lets say

he is a chad

not dense but

[stable herald]

ookay

so not a blackhole

[quasi vault]

he is a bit goofy

in a head

his main problem was not his love life, it was guaranteed for the start he is a natural women-magnet

[stable herald]

ookay

this is

getting interesting

to the main problem now

[quasi vault]

i wont tell further

but

[stable herald]

ouhh

[quasi vault]

his main problem is about getting back to his world

he is staying for 3 years

and inside that 3 years, he will experience everything

wait fuck

[quaint patrol]

ive read a couple of these semi-confessions now and
they so lame

[quasi vault]

not 3 years

like until the start of uhh... blossom?

so around like 11months

[quaint patrol]

resolving in a different scene to confess is one thing

[quasi vault]

he got like 11 months to experience the other-world

and will decide once the time hit

his love live basically guaranteed (and his whole existence is crucial to every plot)

I cracked reading that shit

[stable herald]

HOLY SHIT

SHES A BIG CUTIE

[quasi vault]

ehh... its not even semi-confess even by standard

[stable herald]

*She Didnt

[quasi vault]

its just he had something to do before acceptiing

[quaint patrol]

oh so that's a normal scene in that manga

i read other ones where it was by hesitation

[zinc lance]

sooo

[quaint patrol]

like fk off bro

[zinc lance]

why is she nude

[quasi vault]

its green flag all over

[stable herald]

bathhouse, prepared to bath. Also shes Ifrit's descendance, so normal clothes burns, they're basically naked under their full armor

soo yeah

MC also not a wussy virgin incel, so hes quite fine seing her like that too

[zinc lance]

hmmm i see

[quasi vault]

bro even the 2nd heroine knew everything

[silver robin]

love not incel mcs

[stable herald]

I dont do censorship, so i made her a dress lmao

There the context

[stable herald]

ikr

[quasi vault]

entering the 1st ordeal

[zinc lance]

mmm they are great

[zinc lance]

like you are a guy, why would you look away from a nude girl

[stable herald]

The armor

[stable herald]

Thats the problem with japanese idk, their culture maybe. and its also quite common sense to look away when something nude is showing. But well, the thing i hate is how those wussy characters handled it unmaturedly.

[quasi vault]

man...

mangafied backstory really hits hard

[stable herald]

HAHAHAHAHA

[quasi vault]

her family are complicated though

[stable herald]

I FUCKIN LOVE THIS MC

[stable herald]

WAT

Now that's a coincidence if I ever saw one

[stable herald]

most sane fantasy world item in anime:

[quasi vault]

Most sane web novel chapter

[quaint patrol]

lol, first 0.00001% item drop from slimes ingame

[stable herald]

Thats one hell of a detailed face review

[stable herald]

thats an item mc made from alchemist

[silver robin]

Is this neosekai

[stable herald]

wtf is neosekai

[silver robin]

fantl site

[thorn briar]

Wait wtf , miyuki, sherlock, haru, achilles and benimaru share the same va

[stable herald]

Its quite funny that everythime they shows her inner thought, its just inner her being naked under the armor

[thorn briar]

[slender skiff]

It's actually fairly obvious tbh

The only one which isn't as obvious is Saitama

[thorn briar]

I couldn't tell

Until I saw it

Sherlock sounds way too different from them

[stable herald]

Chad

hes straight to the point

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/1J6x_RXiEBA?si=-JWO7YMViRX3OfNf

I will say

The funniest outta that lot

Is unironically this one side character from KnY

[thorn briar]

[thorn briar]

It does sound a little bit different for sherlock

[ivory mauve]

Free real estate

[ivory mauve]

Oh no she's gonna sniff it

[silver robin]

[quaint patrol]

lood

[slender skiff]

Yue is a mood

[quaint patrol]

ender?

[silver robin]

this is arifureta if you couldn't tell

[quaint patrol]

i could, i've read the manga

my friend described the LN as a guilty pleasure novel

[silver robin]

i wholeheartedly agree

I'm sure res would too

i haven't read the manga but it's drawn pretty well I'll give them that

[ivory mauve]

Oh the jellybean

[faint crag]

I wouldn't really say guilty
It's genuinely enjoyable
It's stupid as shit, but that was the point

[zinc lance]

should have worn some then, good damnit

mmm Arifutera was a nice read

[slender skiff]

Isn't that what a guilty pleasure is

[unkempt briar]

If it wasn’t meant to be stupid then it would be a guilty pleasure

[ivory mauve]

Same person

[quasi vault]

Foxaholic

[faint crag]

Arifureta is just a chuuni comedy adventure. It tries to entertain you by going over the top and doesn't pretend like you need to take it that seriously. Why would I feel guilty for being entertained by something that wants me to be entertained in a way that's exactly intended

[unkempt briar]

is it like eminence in shadow

[solemn pollen]

Most definitely

[unkempt briar]

eminence in shadow was pretty fun

[solemn pollen]

Oppenheimer hates this one trick

[faint crag]

yea, p much

eminence is more directly comedy, but there's some similar vibes

[unkempt briar]

[stable herald]

She cute. Source?

[ivory mauve]

Hard-carry support

[stable herald]

[stable herald]

Tq darling

[quasi vault]

Lol

[silver robin]

speaking of eminence

cid moment

(just started the volume)

[weak glacier]

Babe wake up, sam is reading another self-insert power fantasy series

fantasy isekai™️

[quaint patrol]

saying that about eminence is a bit

[weak glacier]

Just because it is self-aware doesn't make it not a self-insert

[silver robin]

I have a wide variety in the novels im currently reading

[quasi vault]

i saved most DXD novel on my laptop

😃

[silver robin]

currently its

• 86
• magirevo
• toradora
• eminence
• arifureta

[weak glacier]

That's a lot. I just usually buy a whole series or read one series when it's complete

[silver robin]

however eminence 4 is the last volume of eminence translated currently so ill pick up another series next time i get books

[silver robin]

i get books from the library

very painless

[weak glacier]

My college library does have manga, but they mostly incomplete

Some don't even have the first volume

[boreal oyster]

how

[silver robin]

My college library is dogshit cause for manga and lns it relies on intralibrary loans

so i just bypass the college and go directly to the library they would get the books from

[weak glacier]

My college library is ran by the county so it's the only one in town

[silver robin]

my college has a different library than the city/county

hence intralibrary loans

[weak glacier]

I don't have that luxury unfortunately

[trim swan]

nerds

[silver robin]

The library system thats like less than a mile from my house doesnt have manga/lns so i gotta drive like 6 ish miles to a different library system that does

[trim swan]

bro just read online at that point

[weak glacier]

Some people like physical and don't have the pockets like I do

[thorn briar]

This is the last thing I expected her to say

[silver robin]

literally me

[silver robin]

I also enjoy driving and i use my parents' electric car so its cheap

Plus i can go get groceries on the way back or whatever else the house needs

[thorn briar]

Have u ever been addicted to the smell of pages in books

[silver robin]

[silver robin]

no

I just like physical books

I tried online reading and it's not preferred for me

Like i read all 32 mahouka volumes online

[thorn briar]

This is me actually, I buy books cause of the smell and the fact that I want to read them too

This will sound weird too

But , I like sniffing the pages when I read

[silver robin]

i dont buy books cause im not a rereader

unless i dropped a series and am picking it back up again

which rarely happens since i rarely drop shit, as evidenced by my seasonal mal list lol

[thorn briar]

I mostly buy physical books if it's novels

[slender skiff]

Eminence has very few volumes to begin with...

[silver robin]

yes

as i said

[silver robin]

(btw ender im leaning bookworm)

[silver robin]

Also i have conservative Asian parents so where would i keep physical books lol

[slender skiff]

I mean

Eminence even in JP is like

6 volumes?

[silver robin]

Sounds about right

[quaint patrol]

have you read bookworm

[thorn briar]

No

[quaint patrol]

dew it

[thorn briar]

I never watched it too , if u mean the anime

[slender skiff]

I still do think it's like

The best isekai series out there

[quaint patrol]

i dont reccommend

[slender skiff]

Although it does take a while to get going

[quaint patrol]

i think it starts pretty quickly tho

[thorn briar]

Idk if I would read it or no

[slender skiff]

Anime kinda meh

I mean cad
I feel mushoku has a much stronger beginning

[thorn briar]

I want to read no longer human, but I have to finish the book I'm reading now

[quaint patrol]

it does

mmm

in terms of isekai power, bookworm is really slow i guess

it gets interesting with just otto and benno though

[unkempt briar]

whenever i see "otto" and "isekai" together i can only think of the merchant guy from re zero

speaking of re zero, s3 is an announced thing right

[red magnet]

yes

next year

[slender skiff]

I don't blame you

He is a mood

Though now I think of HI3 more instead.... even though that's not an isekai

[unkempt briar]

theres also otto from azur lane

[thorn briar]

There is also otto from honaki impact

[unkempt briar]

yes i believe thats what ender was referring to

[quaint patrol]

in a combat/worldbuilding capacity, bookworm only really starts the magic in P3 i guess, which is ultra slow

after 7 volumes

[slender skiff]

Yeah

That's my only complaint about bookworm

I like world building

But ultimately the pay off is tremendous so

[quaint patrol]

i keep rereading bookworm, but ill admit i keep starting from P3

[slender skiff]

Can't complain too much

[slender skiff]

Same tbh

[stable herald]

Guys

[slender skiff]

Indeed

[faint crag]

Bookworm is mostly just a comfort read
It doesn't really have a complex story or amazing adventure
It's just nice

[unkempt briar]

i heard people liked it more when the mc was an underdog with like no magic and was trying to make a library or whatever

[slender skiff]

You haven't gotten to p5 have you res

[boreal oyster]

syug

[stable herald]

Demon Lord Lackey

[slender skiff]

More of a poor girl with no money trying to make a library but yes

More or less got the idea

[unkempt briar]

isnt giving her poggers magical powers just making it more similar to other generic isekais

again i never read it so

[faint crag]

Different parts are pretty different in their appeal, but it's consistent imo

[quaint patrol]

the genre pretty much changes between parts

[faint crag]

I enjoyed every part about equally for different reasons

[unkempt briar]

i see, if it shifts focus to play around the power scaling it makes sense

[faint crag]

it doesn't really work like "other isekai" just on fundamental level

[quaint patrol]

they dont spam spells with x power level

in fact, MC doesnt rly learn combat magic for a long time

[slender skiff]

Most of her magic is just

HEALS

Or BUFFS

[unkempt briar]

no "saint level water magic "
nice

[faint crag]

it's not really an adventure series in a sense that MC doesn't set out to "defeat" anything
it stays pretty firmly in the whole politics/character interaction thing
so magic is mostly just a tool in the story

[slender skiff]

Or literal bwuh moments

Bookworm is like the best example of how you handle world building

[quaint patrol]

her power scaling is shown most of the time by like

spilling out light

[unkempt briar]

but the anime is a no go?

[quaint patrol]

not at all

[slender skiff]

Unfortunately the anime budget was low and it shows

It makes the unique artstyle look more like an 80s western cartoon

When it's more of a western style watercolour

[thorn briar]

After catching up with detective conan, I feel bored

[red magnet]

ALSO I FORGOT SPY X FAMILY COUR 2 STARTS IN 9 DAYS

[unkempt briar]

cour 2? cour 2 happened awhile ago

[quaint patrol]

she's trying to defeat poverty from the getgo

[silver robin]

it's not a cour 2

it's an s2

[unkempt briar]

maybe s2 will have a cour 2

[thorn briar]

S2 cour 2 part 2

[slender skiff]

Well to say she's successful is an understatement...

[silver robin]

you know who is successful? shadow from emi-

[trim swan]

he'll be successful when he lives to 300 years as an eminence in shadow

[slender skiff]

Sam I highly doubt he can compare....

[faint crag]

I didn't really liked what little of it I saw, but it generally has high rating and I know people like it
so if you don't want to read - you'll be fine
but I still recommend that you do

[slender skiff]

I mean I watched the anime first

[silver robin]

He invented reinforced concrete

no but like seriously he is rich rich rich

Just wait for John Smith arc

[slender skiff]

I mean girl went from basically lowest income bracket to a ||goddess||

[silver robin]

Then you will see

[slender skiff]

If that's not an upgrade idk what is

[silver robin]

John Smith arc is confirmed for eminence s2 so just wait and you will see

[trim swan]

||I mean he's not the one who is rich in that arc||

[slender skiff]

Well that and ||she almost became queen||

[silver robin]

it's his company so close enough

[trim swan]

yeah but he doesn't know it

[slender skiff]

Also if you really wanna talk about companies

I have a distinct feeling rimuru might compete there...

[silver robin]

He does know it, that's why ||he wanted to crash the economy||

[slender skiff]

It's easy to forget

But rimuru aside from being stonks

Also completed upturned the economy of the world

[trim swan]

rimuru's got an entire kingdom

||plus he becomes god at the end of novel||

[thorn briar]

[trim swan]

so he's probably||the richest||

[silver robin]

Who is more rich, be the tiebreak

[thorn briar]

Cid

[silver robin]

see

[slender skiff]

Actually no

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

The richest would be touya from isekai smartphone-

[silver robin]

[thorn briar]

I don't like rimuru that much

[silver robin]

nobody cares ender

[thorn briar]

Cid is way better

[slender skiff]

Even Ainz is quite well off

[thorn briar]

I forgot about ainz

[slender skiff]

Not that he makes cash

He already had the cash

But ok if you want a serious answer

[silver robin]

what being a no life gamer does to a mf

[slender skiff]

I'd actually say Souma from Realist Hero

[silver robin]

What being surrounded by dum dums does to a mf

[slender skiff]

I mean he turned from being in the red to well in the black
While gaining huge amounts of land in the progress

That takes some level of skill

[silver robin]

Yes

[thorn briar]

I thought u meant soma from food wars until I read the anime name

[slender skiff]

He is actually an economist at heart

[silver robin]

Skill to manage dum dums is a good skill I agree

No like seriously

[quaint patrol]

i thought souma was that overly cautious MC for a sec

[slender skiff]

That's seiya

[silver robin]

make the dum dums do the "work" for you

[slender skiff]

A good king gets other people to do the work for him

[quaint patrol]

youjo senki

[thorn briar]

I didn't finish overly cautious anime

[silver robin]

same principle applies to cid too

[quaint patrol]

except the point of youjo is going broke

[slender skiff]

Cautious Hero is wack

[silver robin]

the shadows are dum in their own way

[slender skiff]

And is a prime example of a one hit wonder

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

Like

[quaint patrol]

ive read the cautious LN and

[slender skiff]

Only the first volume is actually good

The rest is

Why

[quaint patrol]

it feels like its repeating its arcs

[slender skiff]

What for

It is

Because the gimmick doesn't change

[silver robin]

Agree

[thorn briar]

I didn't even watch opm s2

[slender skiff]

Only the environment does

OPM is amazing tho tbh

[silver robin]

It's like ok now its an ss rank world

[slender skiff]

Saitama's gimmick doesn't really change

[silver robin]

Then sss rank

then holy shit god gets invaded

[slender skiff]

But everyone else

[silver robin]

and we gotta go to an ssss rank world to save it

[quaint patrol]

seiya literally like, upgrades a skill from 2.0 to like 2.9 or some shit to clear a world

[silver robin]

or something

[thorn briar]

Just give me something like eminence and overlord

[quaint patrol]

oh i remember that arc actually

[silver robin]

Have you heard of sao

[quaint patrol]

i think they just go to hell

after heaven is destroyed

[thorn briar]

Yes , and I watched it all

[silver robin]

I read the wn before the anime came out

[thorn briar]

[silver robin]

And also dropped it before the anime came out

[slender skiff]

Those are completely different kinds of isekai though....

[silver robin]

so my memory is hazy

[thorn briar]

Alicization was the best sao

[slender skiff]

I mean

Anime wise the only competition is Aincrad

[silver robin]

Hey ender without any spoilers how is unital ring going

[thorn briar]

I know , but they have most of the things I like

[silver robin]

one word answer is fine

[silver robin]

you should watch smartphone Isekai just to die of cringe

[thorn briar]

No ,thanks

[silver robin]

you gotta experience both sides

[slender skiff]

CRACK ON CRAAAACK

[silver robin]

smh

[slender skiff]

I mean

Ronie and Tiese are back in the story

So uh

[silver robin]

holy shit i thought they were irrelevant after alicization

[trim swan]

dudes clueless lol
ig you haven't read this part

[slender skiff]

The real spoiler is that ||totally not eugeo|| is around

Major major major spoiler

Don't read that

Unless you really don't care

[trim swan]

I read that

[silver robin]

Is this after John Smith

I don't wanna click if it is

[thorn briar]

That's still John Smith

[trim swan]

it's like the ending of John Smith arc

[silver robin]

Ok

[slender skiff]

I mean

Ok if you want me to recommend isekai LNs

That you've probably never heard of

[silver robin]

See last panel

hes still rich

[slender skiff]

I'd like to recommend the trpg one...

[silver robin]

*his company is rich

[slender skiff]

[silver robin]

Literally could crash the economy

[trim swan]

what use is wealth when you can't use it

[silver robin]

well you see cid doesnt need wealth

[slender skiff]

He needs help

[silver robin]

TRUE

good one ender

[trim swan]

I mean shadow garden would follow any of his orders
but he doesn't know that they will

[slender skiff]

On an unrelated note

[silver robin]

he does

[slender skiff]

I just binged KnY S4 in one seating last night

[silver robin]

see: when he told delta to ignore alpha during John smith

[trim swan]

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

It doesn't fail to disappoint

[thorn briar]

Cid literally faked a story that turned out to be real

[silver robin]

this is literally eminence plot progression

all of it is coincidental

[slender skiff]

It's here where I bring up one point about KnY that no one talks about

[silver robin]

the story sucks we get it

[trim swan]

I wish I could binge watch anime seasons in one sitting again

[slender skiff]

How does no one think they're like the best siblings ever

[silver robin]

same

[slender skiff]

[silver robin]

I binged my first anime anime in 2 days

(no game no life)

[thorn briar]

And he still trust that its being fake

[slender skiff]

Like

Tanjiro and Nezuko's relationship as siblings is

Quite a marvel tbh

So strong it drives the fucking plot

[silver robin]

so strong it ||caused nezuko to resist sun damage||

[slender skiff]

Ya know

[silver robin]

kny s4 spoiler ^^

[thorn briar]

I don't remember what happened in demon slayer manga actually

[slender skiff]

Even after I knew that was coming

[slender skiff]

They won

The end

[silver robin]

poggies

[slender skiff]

HOW ELSE WOULD IT HAVE ENDED

[silver robin]

shonen jump manga moment

[thorn briar]

Of course they will win

[silver robin]

they are gonna win

[slender skiff]

At the cost of many lives yes

[thorn briar]

Can't they lose

[slender skiff]

This isn't MHA

[silver robin]

the most satisfting ending in shonen jump ive read so far was bakuman

[slender skiff]

Does kaguya count

[thorn briar]

I dropped mha already, I started liking the Villains more than the heroes

[slender skiff]

I mean

Most people have dropped mha

It's a fact

It just falls off so hard

Ok not really

It's more of the quality is dreadfully inconsistent

[thorn briar]

I got spoiled about midnight

That's what made me drop it

[slender skiff]

I'm not even sure why that caused people to drop the series

[thorn briar]

She was my fave

That's why I dropped it

[slender skiff]

Imo that's just an insult to how she went out

Like there are so many places to drop MHA at

For valid reasons

[unkempt briar]

I dropped mha at s4, the last half of it was just absolute snorefest

[slender skiff]

From a plot stand point I just find dropping it at her fate is just stupid

[thorn briar]

I didn't watch naruto cause I spoiled myself about my fave characters and they all ||died||

[slender skiff]

It's exactly what I mean by inconsistent

First half S4 is really strong tbh

The rest is well

[trim swan]

I watched the entirety of Naruto Shippuden on IGTV

[trim swan]

that was a thing before reels

[slender skiff]

When MHA hits

It hits hard

[faint crag]

same (ignore the "on hold" there's 0 chance I'm picking it back up)

[slender skiff]

But at this point it's missing more than its hitting honestly

Because the arcs are simply too long now

[unkempt briar]

🤝

[slender skiff]

And yet despite all that

It might be the one of the few long running WSJ mangas

That will be fully adapted

[thorn briar]

[slender skiff]

Dude the anime has adapted over 300 chapters worth already

[unkempt briar]

Mainly cause yuki hayashi rather than the show itself

[slender skiff]

The only arc the anime has yet to adapt is the current arc the manga is on right now

Aka the final battle

Just as a reminder, KnY is half the length of MHA as of now chapter wise

[unkempt briar]

KnY and shows falling off name a more iconic duo

[slender skiff]

Honestly KnY doesn't really fall off tbh?

The story was always never great to begin with

[faint crag]

they also wrote precure ost for couple of seasons and it absolutely slaps

[unkempt briar]

The story doesn’t, but the anime sure as hell does

[slender skiff]

KnY has always been (anime wise) all about the visual representation

[faint crag]

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

[slender skiff]

And unlike mushoku s2

I don't think the animation quality has dropped?

[unkempt briar]

The difference between red light district arc and sword smith village arc in terms of presentation is crazy

[unkempt briar]

It has

and the direction went to absolute shit

[slender skiff]

Didn't feel that way to me

I think that's more due to the enemies tbh

[unkempt briar]

you know how KnY has terrible dialogue? It got even worse, now imagine an entire episode of “I got slashed! I slashed him!” with no sense of sound direction other than the pitter patter of feet on the ground

[unkempt briar]

It definitely plays a part

Upper moons 4 and 5 don’t allow cool choreo like 6 did

Due to their powers

[slender skiff]

Well

Hashira training arc is probably going to be the least visually stimulating of all

Since it's literally the calm before the storm

[unkempt briar]

Yeah some precure ost slaps way too hard, and they manage to get stuff like yasuharu takanashi to compose for em it’s nutty

[neat pelican]

Doesn't every PreCure series have at least a dog or some kind of animal of sorts

[faint crag]

huh?

[neat pelican]

Like one of the MCs having a pet of sorts

[faint crag]

not at all, no
why?

[unkempt briar]

I mean talking animals is pretty common in mahou shoujo but precure is HUGE I doubt all of them have em

[neat pelican]

Well just only saw a random episode of one and had that question in my head for a good while though

[faint crag]

I mean most of the time it's just fairies and shit

[unkempt briar]

I’ve only watched 2 precure seasons personally and both had talking animals

[neat pelican]

I know one PreCure series had a werewolf if memory serves

[faint crag]

(or babies. babies are pretty much like dogs)

[neat pelican]

[unkempt briar]

Nah that’s goin too far ||dogs are way smarter||

[faint crag]

Smile had a Big Bad Wolf as one of the villains if that's what you mean

[neat pelican]

Yeah that one

[unkempt briar]

Yeah you right the Heartcatch ones that poop all over the place were fairies

But close enough

[neat pelican]

[slender skiff]

@silver robin you still here?

[unkempt briar]

samdeadge564

[faint crag]

yea, it's mostly fairies

[slender skiff]

I'm assuming

Dumb babies are paimon characters

[faint crag]

no, literal babies

[neat pelican]

Hey that's an insult to Emergency Rations there

[unkempt briar]

Oh you didn’t watch fresh precure? That one has a fairy and a ferret that’s a fairy

[slender skiff]

What the fuck

Me right now

[slender skiff]

...and people say paimon was bad

Daheck

[unkempt briar]

So puntable

I mean

What

[neat pelican]

Hey at least they know people like treating her as the Emergency Rations at times

[faint crag]

at some point I realized I barely watch current seasons of precure
I'm definitely not watching like 15 years old ones
so I gave up on that

[neat pelican]

If you do the introductions in some scenes in the storyline you can say Paimon is Emergency Rations

[faint crag]

I already watched heartcatch anyway, which is objectively the best one

[unkempt briar]

Facts

[neat pelican]

Didn't they do a crossover for all the PreCure for an anniversary moment?

[faint crag]

they do a crossover like every year

[neat pelican]

I mean from the first to like the one they did for their 25th anniversary or something?

[faint crag]

they do a crossover movie literally every year

and that's considering that none of the series even happening in the same universe

[slender skiff]

"decently sized"

[silver robin]

manga artist pog

[thorn briar]

I just remembered we getting a new bsd chapter next

[slender skiff]

I feel like the manga artist is more excited about the anime than the author

[silver robin]

yes

i also agree

maybe the author is just old

[slender skiff]

https://vxtwitter.com/nekokurage_/status/1695035731700576263?s=19
