[stable herald]

lmao

sometimes a clueless artist would posted their nsfw artwork

then would get scolded "READ THE DAMN PINNED MESSAGE"

[slender skiff]

Doesn't have to be though

As Sam said, doujin just refers to fan made content

It absolutely doesn't have to be hentai lmao

https://anilist.co/manga/113076/Real-mo-Tama-ni-wa-Uso-wo-Tsuku/

It's easy to forget that this is a doujin

[echo quiver]

wild

[slender skiff]

Though it did get picked up to become a manga after some time

But the TLs we get are from the webcomic posted on pixiv

Which is by definition, a doujin

[inner sphinx]

Same as my previous picture

[stable herald]

exorcist?

[gusty light]

and do they win or do they lose

a recipe to know your character's losing in love war:
-your character rival is a blonde
-your character is a childhood friend of MC
-your character is either voiced by Kana Hanazawa or Nao Touyama

that...

oh...

the nutrients won't go to her stomach but...

two body parts that Freien would die to see them expand in her body

source?

noted (different stuff)

[silver robin]

IM OLD AAAAAAAAAA

[grim pebble]

Someone committing Thought Crimes

[boreal oyster]

why this chick obsessed with mc?

[gusty light]

huh?

[gusty light]

I dunno

the manga even told us that she wants to be with him like he has some magnet to her

I dunno mate

[stable herald]

whos this and where is it from

Im a committed shorthair lover

[gusty light]

I dunno za sos

za sos unknown

[stable herald]

It.....led me to a hentai doujin

[boreal oyster]

liar
your drawn siren ain't even short hair

[gusty light]

Hmmmm... Else than big boobas, long hairs and maybe long ponytails is always my weak spot

girls with either long straight hair and long ponytails just... my favorite as well

TBH, this manga, I remember

amongst the party
there is someone who clearly has feelings to the MC, which is the glasses girl and... the healer girl who loves to tease him 24/7 (her silent friend knows well how she likes the MC)

[slender skiff]

The 2 times a touyama nao character wins in a harem

The first was... Extremely split

[gusty light]

Chitoge and...

I forgot

[slender skiff]

The second one got death threats sent to the author

||Chiho from Hatamaou||

[gusty light]

Oh Chiho

I remember

Chiho and Chitoge

"Chi"

lols

[gusty light]

if only Chiho keeps being losing and Emi wins the war

no one's harmed

[slender skiff]

Well

If the author wrote the story properly

I don't think anyone would have had issues with her winning

[gusty light]

she could be built up to have something related to the fantasy world

else than charming people using her "assets" that Emi would die to have

and maybe have some solo arc with the Maou himself without Emi interrupting

but you know Japanese and their tendency to hallucinate (based on current trending works, maybe this is a safe guess)

[slender skiff]

Not that it excuses people sending the author death threats

But I do relate to the unhappiness

[silver robin]

uh im sorry to interrupt

but this is a nisio ishin moment

[slender skiff]

The hand is very him too

And here's the thing nfx

To add even more insult to injury

One would assume he was forced to rush the ending for Hatamaou

But why did he rush it?

[gusty light]

I mean the author as well

but yeah

[gusty light]

this as well

[slender skiff]

https://anilist.co/manga/123411/Dracula-Yakin/

Because of this

That came out just as Hatamaou was ending

[gusty light]

from rumors I heard somewhere in the Indonesian community

[slender skiff]

Just read the synopsis

You may find it... Familiar

[gusty light]

yeah

I can see it

the safest guess is

Author is burnt out on Hatamaou

[slender skiff]

And he created a new series

[gusty light]

He got another inspiration(this DoraYaki)

[slender skiff]

That's.... basically also Hatamaou

And in a moment of schadenfreude

[gusty light]

basically.... like Kishimoto does his Naruto and that Samurai thingy that got axed

[slender skiff]

This series... Was rated rather abysmally

[gusty light]

Naruto and this Samurai stuff is not to far fetched from one to another in terms of story pattern

[gusty light]

maybe because of Hatamao?

[slender skiff]

Could be

But could also be because the the theme is almost identical

As though he intends to milk the concept

[gusty light]

Yea

readable as fu-

[slender skiff]

And then it just isn't that good to begin with, at least in 2021

It's 58% rating

It was 51% earlier in the year I think

[gusty light]

I would be more convinced if his new idea was about something else

but if this is just Hatamaou 2.0, the author has long gone from his best self

[slender skiff]

Should have learnt from Negi

Or Hata

...more negi I'd say

[gusty light]

yea muybe on that

[slender skiff]

Negi changed genres completely

Though tbh
As... Debatable as the gotoubun ending was

He definitely did something right up till that point

[gusty light]

Hmmm.... lols

Could have make Yotsuba win and call it a day

I don't wanna to see that bitch(ika) got another chance

[slender skiff]

I'm personally fine with how it ended

Or rather who it ended with

I do question the execution though

It was a bit weird

That said now he's doing sentai
Or rather a twist on the sentai genre

Props

And even that's gotten an anime announced

[gusty light]

oh that sentai where one of them is actually the villains

or worse, the henchmen of the villains

basically both the sentai and the villain work together to make their stuff as a show kind of thing

but tbh, one of the sentais = one of the villains is already being an overused cliche

[faint crag]

Yea, I think I said it before, but gotoubun basically put itself in unwinnable position
there was no way to actually end up with one girl in satisfying way when your entire gimmick was "lol and lmao who knows who he'll end up with, it's literally equal chances"

it's a really good manga tho

[gusty light]

tbh, I already put my bet on Yotsuba

if not Yotsuba, would be Itsuki(first girl buff) or Nino

but I will go all in to say, "that bitch named Ichika must lose!"

she deserves to lose

[faint crag]

yea, I'm pretty sure my first choice was Itsuki and 2nd Yotsuba

[gusty light]

tbh, some authors fear of making one of the girls lose

[slender skiff]

It's usually the opposite
Villain becomes a sentai later

[gusty light]

like gotoubun and that benkyo stuff

[slender skiff]

I personally think

The author chose Yotsuba

Because it's the middle ground for most people

So aside from the diehard Miku Nino fans

Most people were alright

[gusty light]

Yeah

I mean the sentai is one of the villains in disguise... then later on become a true sentai due to character development

or they lost their sentai way and embraced their identity

[slender skiff]

Speaking of said fans
Choosing either of them would have caused a riot on the scale of nisekoi

[gusty light]

yeah

[slender skiff]

Meanwhile Hayate:

[gusty light]

and....

from same source...

yeah, she is destined to be a bride but not clear who is the husband, yet she gets jealous when our protag gets into another girl lol

[gusty light]

Hayate no Gotoku?

I dunno Nagi? the pink haired one? Maria?

[slender skiff]

Yep

Nagi was blond

Hina is the pink haired

Maria is the meido

[gusty light]

yeah, I forgot who wins the war

I don't watch that far

[slender skiff]

It's not in the anime

But the issue is... No one really does

[faint crag]

because it's not a "who's gonna win" harem type story

if anything it's a parody of one

[slender skiff]

It's more of he chooses to stand by Nagi's side

And even then he got chased off

[silver robin]

SPOILER

[slender skiff]

Sam it's more than a few years old at this point

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

But sorry

[silver robin]

i already knew

but like bruh

[slender skiff]

My issue with Hayate's ending wasn't so much who he chose

[faint crag]

Nagi is literally the only "option" through the story, with Athena being possibly the only other one, but she's very quickly removed due to... obvious circumstances

[slender skiff]

But the whole final arc to begin with

[silver robin]

just pull a bokuben and have alternate timelines

[slender skiff]

Not even final arc actually
It's everything plot related

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

That's excluding Athena

[slender skiff]

Cos he somehow did wonders with the Athena arc

[silver robin]

the animation is unfortunately

[slender skiff]

Which is leading him to try shenanigans with Tsukasa now...

[faint crag]

Hayate had decent story, Hata just kept flip-flopping what he wanted that story to be and lost plot line constantly

[slender skiff]

And yet people complain that it's "cheap"

To do multiple endings

[silver robin]

just don't write harems

problem solved

[slender skiff]

He even jokes about it in the omakes

And fell into the trap anyways

[silver robin]

see even hayate author figured that out

[slender skiff]

Which is a hilarious bit of irony

[faint crag]

which is understandable when Hayate was like his first manga and it turned into this 12 years long monstrocity

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

Like in the omakes

[trim swan]

shut up sam

[slender skiff]

The characters call him out

For flip flopping so much between a sol comedy and an actual drama

[boreal oyster]

I don't get why the blond so thirsty to mc

[slender skiff]

To be fair

Some of the alternate endings are

[silver robin]

i don't either

and i read the wn and manga before the anime came out

[slender skiff]

Actually no, 3/4 of the alternate endings are better than the canon one

[boreal oyster]

cannon

[slender skiff]

No I spelt it correctly

[boreal oyster]

🌀 🔫

[silver robin]

when i hear canon it reminds me of this

[slender skiff]

That's a hand cannon

[silver robin]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachelbel's_Canon

[slender skiff]

Bruh

That's not a canon end

That's a canon in-d

[silver robin]

you can't escape it

[slender skiff]

For better or worse

[faint crag]

when I hear canon, I think of the idol girl from kami nomi

[silver robin]

i prefer the term true ending actually

[slender skiff]

Anime seldom make use of pachabel's canon

[slender skiff]

Isn't that kanon

[faint crag]

yes

[silver robin]

the last anime ive seen have this was the orchestra anime funnily enough

and it was during an...interesting scene

[slender skiff]

THAT DOESN'T COUNT

I mean during OPs

Or EDs

Like it's memed to hell in the west that many songs sample canon

[silver robin]

the fmc of the orchestra anime picked up playing violin because she heard an "amazing" rendition of canon in d

[slender skiff]

Speaking of another series with messy endings...

Sure the girl he chose made sense

[silver robin]

insert reference to the vn kanon by key

ill take my leave

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/460645783021289472/975274151126401064/peepoweirdleave.gif

[slender skiff]

But Elsie got shafted massively in terms of her background/lore

The author definitely had something in mind for her but was never able to explain it properly

And so it was never properly explained

[silver robin]

did that author make any other series after

i don't remember

[slender skiff]

Unlike Negima

Nope

Elsie is left high and dry

Though people are... Not particularly happy with the girl he chose

Even though by the logic of the story, he wouldn't have chose anyone else

[faint crag]

I honestly didn't have any issue with the ending

[boreal oyster]

liguma

[faint crag]

kami nomi author?

[faint crag]

there's anime by his manga this season actually

16bit Sensation

[silver robin]

wait

holy shit

i can see the resemblance actually

at least in the art style

despite not having read either

[slender skiff]

100 days to the wedding or something?

[silver robin]

also lol

[slender skiff]

Wait

[silver robin]

[faint crag]

I literally said the name in the next message

[slender skiff]

He got 2 back to back?

Tf

[silver robin]

the wedding one doesn't have an anime yet

[slender skiff]

It's announced

Lol

[silver robin]

wtf

mal slacking

[slender skiff]

That's why I remembered it

[silver robin]

oh u right

[slender skiff]

So he got 2 adaptations in quick succession

Wow

[silver robin]

well

the wedding one has like nothing known about it

[faint crag]

good for him 👏

[silver robin]

good shit

[slender skiff]

Rei was miffed

He was the one that introduced me to it

[silver robin]

i don't know that person

[slender skiff]

And he was even more miffed when I guess who won just from watching the anime

He pre-dates your existence on this server

[silver robin]

probably

[faint crag]

Well that's a skill issue on his part

[silver robin]

alright time to catch up on blue box

[ivory mauve]

Well there goes takao

Pfff what

[silver robin]

@trim swan im catching up

[stable herald]

What manga is that

[silver robin]

the one i posted?

blue box

go read

[stable herald]

I still didnt get the manga name on the shorthair girl i asked earlier

[stable herald]

Tqvm

[stable herald]

HUH

WHOS THE MOTHER

Huh what

Since when mental model have reproduction feature

give me one model

[gusty light]

was reread the manga and this is on ch 15

this one

[trim swan]

🐌 💨

[gusty light]

the girl who tease him is actually a tsundere

and iirc the tall guy beside her stands with her maybe have feelings

[silver robin]

long finger

[gusty light]

MC's Bestie have feelings to the glasses girl

[silver robin]

[stable herald]

BUT EIGA SAMA SOO DUMB TO UNDERSTAND WOMEN AND SOMEHOW HE WANNA GET BACK WITH THE EX

[trim swan]

[gusty light]

I dunno bro, haven't reached that ch yet

but nah, he would not get her lol

[stable herald]

I meant the one tung sent

[silver robin]

welcome to shitty isekai harem

*fantasy harem

same diff

[gusty light]

sam

this manga was not Isekai

[stable herald]

This one

[gusty light]

but yeah, fantasy "harem"

oh yeah, ok then

[stable herald]

Later on when u read. Everyone fuckin knew how dumb and dense is the mc towards women's signals

[silver robin]

only difference between isekai harem and fantasy harem is how the mc gains their power

[stable herald]

Like fuckin hell

EVERY GIRL KNOWS IT

@gusty light there literally this one day when im keeping up with the manga, i ranted about that chapter where like multiple girls were trying to flirt with mc

But ofc

Failed

[gusty light]

lols

remember

It is not Japanese Manga if MC were dense and not able to catch girl's signal

[silver robin]

id only read manga like that if the art is pog

[gusty light]

and when you think the little mage girl is a shota no

it is a loli

the trap is too damn obvious

[silver robin]

speaking of pog art

yuragi sou no yuuna san has art

[trim swan]

yes borderline nsfw art but

[silver robin]

can't wait for authors next major work

[gusty light]

Ehem

Ehem

I know where this is going

[silver robin]

pity jump was like "no borderline nsfw art in weekly jump anymore"

[gusty light]

Ehem... Ehem...

[trim swan]

[gusty light]

did I smell...

🏳️‍🌈 🐦 people inside of Jump?

[silver robin]

they moved ayakashi triangle to jump+ and since then we haven't gotten borderline nsfw in weekly jump

uh

i think its just cause they wanted to be more family friendly

[gusty light]

expanding the market eh

iirc there are barely companies succeed in doing this

I can sense that Jump might be on the trouble

not only their 50th anniversary game was a bad game IMHO, and too focusing the roster on their "Big Three"

[silver robin]

the game is bad

[gusty light]

but this... yeah, I can sense Oda needs to do something with his girl

[silver robin]

also jump isn't in trouble

[gusty light]

"Might"

"might be in trouble" in the future

[silver robin]

maybe

[gusty light]

tbh, just see american comics when they try to expand their market

and some game companies try to do this

this is a risky move, a very high one

[silver robin]

we will see

its not like they abandoned borderline nsfw

that shit is still on jump+

[gusty light]

hmmm ok

I just hope Oda is not affected with this

because we know how One Piece is

[silver robin]

why would he be affected

one piece is massive

jump will be in trouble once it ends though

[gusty light]

hmmm.... yea

[silver robin]

i think the days of extremely long manga are over

[gusty light]

yea

already long gone

[silver robin]

next highest is my hero aca but thats also gonna end soon ish

then after that is jujutsu kaisen

[gusty light]

Sam, I already can see why Masashi's asistant made Boruto

they know that their Big Three is the only hope for their finance

[silver robin]

its cause kishimoto is old

[gusty light]

nope

because of Jump knew they need to extend Naruto Franchise in their Boruto manga

[silver robin]

yea

it was an experiment that didn't work out as well as they hoped

but it is still having some success

[gusty light]

Not about him being old because in Japan even a 90s person can still do their job (I know a 70-80 year old kendo master that has his own master in their 90s and still doing well)

[gusty light]

yea...

at least

[gusty light]

this

is the clue on why I can see that

[silver robin]

otherwise boruto 2 wouldn't have been approved

holy crap the dropoff is insane

[gusty light]

Even so, there are so many bastardization to Naruto's world building in Boruto

[silver robin]

THEY DID IT AAAAAAA

coriander

[trim swan]

I love coriander

[silver robin]

coriander is pog

only 11 chapters to go before im caught up

this makes me feel physical pain looking at it

the hand clawing the heart i mean

[trim swan]

I experienced the metaphor version of it while reading

[silver robin]

when i first saw it my heart twanged with pain

like physical pain

[trim swan]

[gusty light]

and I found another typical thing again

this guy is not only try to get MC's Ex but also...

[silver robin]

new characters and triangles

[gusty light]

He just basically have some kind of evil aura beneath him or just him know that the world wants more power IDK

[silver robin]

im caught up now

finally

another manga to cross off the list

[trim swan]

welp atleast the main characters are dating now

[silver robin]

ye

[silver robin]

remaining manga

next is probably gonna be twin star and seraph

[gusty light]

Holy sh-

[trim swan]

I stopped reading twin star manga after the anime went through a different route

[silver robin]

i started reading the twin star manga because the anime went a different route

[trim swan]

[silver robin]

i still cope they pull a world trigger

somehow world trigger got s2 and s3 and i think even an s4 despite having some anime original diverging thingy in s1

na only s2 and s3

i also need to go back and finish magi too

[trim swan]

[slender skiff]

You think that's steep?

2nd is only slightly less than half of the first

You should see bokuben

Second place is around 1 fifth

[trim swan]

bro said slightly

[slender skiff]

I mean yes, 33k is slightly less than half of 74k?

[silver robin]

oh wow

[slender skiff]

I mean sure the values are completely different
But the magnitude

[trim swan]

I kinda misread

[slender skiff]

And when you compare it to the first popularity poll from a year before

Yeah 1 year can impact a character's popularity a lot...

English poll from the same time as the above poll

[silver robin]

wao

[slender skiff]

That said

Does the popularity scale into the quality of the ending

Well

Not really

[silver robin]

alternate timelines pogu

[slender skiff]

Objectively speaking Asumi got the best written ending by far
Even the mafuyu simps agree
Followed by Fumino/Mafuyu

[silver robin]

i haven't read it

so no comment from me

[slender skiff]

Ogata's ending isn't even hers

It develops her bestie more than it develops her

Which is hilarious

[silver robin]

kek

[slender skiff]

Continuation

[silver robin]

wao

[slender skiff]

Those requests are indeed too specific

Ahem

Might be a good idea to ask in DMs

Rather than...here

[trim swan]

[gusty light]

oh ok

[slender skiff]

I mean

He almost certainly can't share the source here so

[gusty light]

I might get Nimi'd

so forget that

[slender skiff]

Nimi will be closing her proverbial eye in this case

[gusty light]

huh? oh ok

[grim pebble]

Backshot

[stable herald]

I GOT GHOST PINGED

[trim swan]

was it even a ghost ping if the person that pinged you didn't delete it

[dry moon]

Isn’t that just a normal ping then

[gusty light]

I mean... @stable herald we have been foreshadowed

[stable herald]

wdym didnt deleted it, its gone

ik about the latest

[stable herald]

Ahh yes, pass this part is the stupidest part of the mc

you'll get frustrated lmao

[gusty light]

"Thicker Skull than any Metal"

We know where this is going

In Mangas, this word always for those MCs

[slender skiff]

Denser than lead

Or perhaps even osmium

[gusty light]

so we have:
The Glasses Girl/Ex
The Tsundere Healer
The Blacksmith's Daughter(Her Dad somehow wants him to be with her, if he wants to learn the technique)
The Shota Loli Mage
The Secretary Bride(But why she became the Bride of MC? And Exclusively MC?)
The Ninja

[gusty light]

Huh? The reporter and 3 girls in his village is crushing on him too?

Whut Source is...

Jujucu Keceng?

[dusty adder]

Its sukuna kaisen now

Gege made sukuna the protagonist

[gusty light]

Cukuna Keceng?

Ok

(Jujutsu/Sukuna Kaisen is Overrated as fu- with their Gojo(k), hence I always said... Jujucu Keceng or Cukuna Keceng

Read that with Asian Format, not English)

[dusty adder]

Lots of people read it just because gojo

I am a gojo fan myself, but not too extreme, like some of the fans who sent death threats to gege

[gusty light]

uh oh

[slender skiff]

What uh oh

[gusty light]

The Death Threat part

but I came after diving deep in that one Thiccer than Metal MC manga

[slender skiff]

Let's just say Japanese fans can be

Obsessive

[gusty light]

Both authors and fans can be obsessive as they are

you can see from how they do their sh-

[gusty light]

||Holy shit so...

Basically someone from another top party, that person steals MC's Face and tricking his Ex-Party...||

[slender skiff]

For a brief moment I thought this was the name

... actually nfx

That sentence sounds horrendous out of context

Fucking hell

[gusty light]

Nah

Lemme explain a bit ok

[gusty light]

I was talking about the same manga as this one

[slender skiff]

I actually did get the context

But lmao you have a way with words alright

[gusty light]

||in latest chapter due to a handshake with random person, which happens to be someone of a top tier party(3rd place)

this particular person got the ability to disguise as MC using his face aka being an impostor

and in this latest chapter he uses MC's face and tricks the whole MC's Ex-Party to go home ONLY to steal the ability of MC's Ex||

||The guy gonna do it by SLEEPING with MC's EX to steal her powers||

[quaint patrol]

you're really bad at using ||spoilers||

not like i care about the manga tho

[gusty light]

oh...

It is a week past the newest chap but ok

[quaint patrol]

but is everyone following that manga

[gusty light]

Nah, so eh?

Just talk it and gtfo kind of thing but ok

[slender skiff]

A week is... A bit too close
Actually no, way too close

A good rule of thumb is a year

So if the spoiler is like a year old
Then it's fine

[gusty light]

Holy sh-

One year? Okay then, sorry, my bad

[stable herald]

Me a nobara fans:

Me after keeping up with the manga:

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/528197562998718474/1130504726904045568/rv5umu7zzbcb1.gif

Cant wait for that part in the anime

to get kicked in the gut again

[dusty adder]

Greg did the female characters dirty

Most are dead, some are just to introduce new things

Puts miwa in just to explain simple domain

Leaves

Doesnt elaborate

[slender skiff]

https://vxtwitter.com/AniNewsAndFacts/status/1716423859484934485?s=19

Yet to be verified but

[flat cedar]

Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijou

Time for more Rae and Claire

[flat cedar]

Still kinda surprised at episode 3

[thorn briar]

I thought jodie was same age as akai

But , apparently akai is 32 and Jodie is 28

[ivory mauve]

Read manga it's freaking hilarious

[silver robin]

Apparently oshi no ko also got a novel announced too

again yet to be fully verified

[slender skiff]

He's cooking alright

https://vxtwitter.com/seiyuucorner/status/1716469538659901566?s=19

<Insert crazy laughter here>

[trim swan]

oh it's that guy

[slender skiff]

Well, he's also known for his sultry voice in romance animes

[silver robin]

new blue exorcist coming soon btw

[slender skiff]

... otherwise he sounds batshit insane

And he made his won multiple newcomer awards as... accelerator

[silver robin]

to get it right

[silver robin]

na its a continuation

s3 is coming soon

[solemn pollen]

New season or movie?

[flat cedar]

movie

its the third movie

[trim swan]

ngl I never expected this series to go beyond S1

[silver robin]

it is popular so makes sense

[trim swan]

that's the thing, I never expected it to get so popular

[weak glacier]

WHo dat blonde chick

[flat cedar]

the sister to the bunyn girl mc

Also

Im seeing intense backlash on

Toaru Ossan no VRMMO Katsudouki • A Playthrough of a Certain Dude's VRMMO Life

for no reason.

lmao

[quaint patrol]

love this meme

[slender skiff]

Bruh

[slender skiff]

Mai's sister
She had a whole arc in the anime lol

[weak glacier]

Haven't seen the anime

[slender skiff]

Many years before yes...

[slender skiff]

It's in shounen jump
So it's a given

It's just that it got its sequels very slowly

S2 was like, 5 years after S1?

[trim swan]

was it really that long

[slender skiff]

And s3 well, 12 years

6 years

2011, 2017, 2024

[trim swan]

I thought we were talking bunny girl senpai

[slender skiff]

Oh

[trim swan]

[slender skiff]

Bunny girl... Consider the author

That's 100% why

Same author that did Pet Girl of Sakurasou

[trim swan]

[slender skiff]

Which was... Also a hit
Anime wise at least

https://anilist.co/anime/13759/Sakurasou-no-Pet-na-Kanojo/

...the fact that this is over 10 years old now

[trim swan]

I felt it was much older

loved the anime ngl

[slender skiff]

So it's the same guy

So surely he produces quality

...ok well with the exception of how Sakurasou in the LN arcs after the anime
I think most of his work is genuinely fine tbh

[trim swan]

caught up

this shit made me cry

Kimi ga Shinu Made Koi wo Shitai

[weak glacier]

[trim swan]

[weak glacier]

Waiting for the mailman to pickup my damn pacakage so my books can come home

I got $88 worth of manga

Volumes 5-6 of Blooming into you, 7-8 omnibus of gantz, 2-4 of Dandadan

and 1-2 of gundam thunderbolt

I might have to double check

[ivory mauve]

Good stuff

[flat cedar]

Really is a shame MIB3 killed the series

[quaint patrol]

no fucking way, sakurasou got so tilting

the anime was nice tho

[slender skiff]

Anime was fine yes

It's everything after the anime that was

Dumb

Because it just rubbished every relationship development that Sorata and Mashiro had

That said cad

Which is worse

Sakurasou's or Haganai's LN ending

[quaint patrol]

i'm not sure what habanero is

haganai

[slender skiff]

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai

Iirc

https://anilist.co/anime/10719/Boku-wa-Tomodachi-ga-Sukunai/

[quaint patrol]

hmm i've never seen this one

[slender skiff]

This was one of the bigger anime of that period

[quaint patrol]

if you're comparing it to salad then i dont want to

sakurasou

[slender skiff]

Your autocorrect

[trim swan]

real

bet the discord light mode blinds his eyes too much so that he can't see what he types

[frosty knoll]

Wha

[flat cedar]

OH THE ENDING TO THIS FUCKING SUCKS

oh my god

[slender skiff]

It's legendary status

[flat cedar]

And then that same fucker made oriemo

and eromanga sensei

[slender skiff]

Was it?

[flat cedar]

Haganai

[slender skiff]

It's not

Wrong incest series

You're thinking of imouto sae iiraba ii

[trim swan]

imouto sae ireba technically isn't even incest

atleast from what I've seen in the anime

[slender skiff]

Well yes but you know what I mean

[trim swan]

[slender skiff]

It just ended a while ago iirc

The LN

[trim swan]

[slender skiff]

On a side note

https://youtu.be/z9JZB08qy44?si=xvaTmeQQ7gyPHzAr

Another kickass OP

Though this one is definitely more "retro" compared to the latest OPs

I must say though
401k views in less than 2 days is darn impressive

[silver robin]

at least sakurasou had a happy ending

don't think theres a winner in haganai

[serene forge]

Requesting help: trying to find a romance action webtoon I found on Lezhin a loooong time ago. It's a romance between a sort of flesh eater human (girl) who has innate powers from her species, and a male.

The girl wants to take revenge on her father, who had a complex interaction with the girl's mother (I presume that the mother was killed and the father was trying to bring her back I forgot)

The highlighting features are that the species can activate their powers, and black marks form all over their body. Also the MC girl (if I remember) had a red tracksuit and short brown messy hair.

[flat cedar]

the anime chose rikka in haganai

unless that wasnt the end of the series

also decided to check this out

OF COURSE 2B/ENTY/MISAKA IS FMC

no wonder i didnt drop it immediately

I guess I'll read ahead since it has one of my favorite seiyuu's

https://myanimelist.net/anime/50184/Seiken_Gakuin_no_Makentsukai

[silver robin]

im only watching it cause blade dance

also my fantl bros are interested in it too

[flat cedar]

So I caught up to it

Kinda disappoined

on how its currently being

[serene forge]

Rip

[flat cedar]

You dont think within 35 chapters you'd tell your vampire queen about the other two

Imma keep it a buck 50 chief

im a fan of stuff like this, but hate when its poorly done

and when you even manage to get someone as highly requested as Yui Ishikawa as your FMC

it drives me nuts

[thorn briar]

[thorn briar]

How did he just turn from evil teacher, to a good guy who wants to save his family

[slender skiff]

Gdi

[slender skiff]

It was not

[silver robin]

uh what does that mean

[slender skiff]

Goddammit

[silver robin]

kek

[slender skiff]

Anime never got close to the actual ending of haganai

And if it was as simple as "he chose rikka"

I wouldn't be complaining

[thorn briar]

He didn't get to tell the culprit to kill themselves this episode, cause the purple hair guy got him away before he does it

[slender skiff]

Though I guess that is... Sorta partially the truth in a way?

[silver robin]

[thorn briar]

[slender skiff]

It can be summarised as
Yukimura confesses to Kodaka, Kodaka dates her despite not having feelings for her
Kodaka rejects Yozora (I think)
Kodaka never properly rejects Sena, and as a result strings her for the ride
Kodaka, while dating Yukimura, confesses to Rika, who rejects him
Kodaka realises his relationship with Yukimura isn't working, and suggests to break up. They do

LN ends with the whole group meeting up again as nothing more than friends which resolves the title of the series, "I Don't Have Many Friends"

---

I did gloss over a lot of details here and there, especially regarding Sena and Yozora's relationship

But that's a fair summary

Yeah you can understand why I said it was a fucking mess

[thorn briar]

[slender skiff]

So Sam was correct in saying

There was no winner

Just a mess

[slender skiff]

After what, doing the deed, breaking up over something they already argued in the anime
And 4 fucking years after that?

[silver robin]

yes

something like that

[jovial minnow]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/528197562998718474/1166161218462036008/IMG_2832.png?ex=65497b44&is=65370644&hm=47bfbdef79fd9f4773e6a1e5210c56868714cf2a325aeb1b4061e8a91f96ffd7&

Would anyone please tell me the sauce?

[slender skiff]

Uh

It's probably not an sfw one

Looking at the artsyle

[jovial minnow]

[quaint patrol]

yea looks like hentai

[jovial minnow]

At least narrows it down

[quaint patrol]

but the wholesome hentai are almost manga anyways

[jovial minnow]

Thanks for the info

[boreal oyster]

her mom slaps her

[quaint patrol]

idk about the slap but

the two chapters or so of her mom arc are serious

[boreal oyster]

her mom need corrections

[quaint patrol]

non-comedy is nice sometimes

[boreal oyster]

i mean she's fine, so I'll correct her

the mom, don't get me wrong mods

[slender skiff]

I mean

The thing I want to ask is

We talking about the same mom here?

I mean Shizuka confronting her mother doesn't happen till much later in the series anyways

There's more than a few mothers in this series

[boreal oyster]

that flashback

flashback

[slender skiff]

Some of which appear more than others

If you know, you know

[boreal oyster]

oh shot

i think I'm delusional

the flashback mom got no eyes

[solid nebula]

god i Love the crunchyroll basement guy

[serene forge]

There seems to be a ring, meaning that Atago is promised. Prob not sfw bc of the art style (like others say)

I still dunno

[boreal oyster]

[quaint patrol]

ahhh i see

[serene forge]

Damn

[thorn briar]

This is about kuroshitsuji, but would undertaker bring vincent back

Or the Queen I guess

Since he has some of her hair

[serene forge]

Seems that I'm massively underdeveloped in the Realm of romance and slice of life, in manga webtoons and anime

But I'm okay at other stuff 😄

[solid nebula]

https://vxtwitter.com/initialG_A1/status/1716118766801789406?t=-hKZ_U-7lwjNPhWFH62IAg&s=19

Space, the final frontier

[solid nebula]

WAIT OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ELDRITCH HORROR

[serene forge]

Wtf

[solemn pollen]

is living as old as her a curse or a blessing

[slender skiff]

Ehh

[serene forge]

Eh fair enough

[slender skiff]

Mostly accurate I guess

Though Hakuno is not particularly accurate?

[flat cedar]

Nanatsu no Maken ga Shihai suru
is a strange one

because at first it seemed like a run of the mill hogwarts

but the fact its murder revenge mixed with hogwarts caught me off guard

[boreal oyster]

huh

oh

[stable herald]

Fujimaru not only did mana transfer. the activity itself is like wanting to produce new humans

https://youtu.be/Lt-EbHhHD5Q?si=KCNNI6JqSmqcEExV

What anime is this from

[shut lion]

touhou project

proper anime when

[stable herald]

ooh

[solid nebula]

why is it in morse code...

[stable herald]

idfk

cuz

maybe

thats the title?

[slim rain]

Damn

Just finished solo leveling

The ending got me tearing up

Im so glad that ||Cha and Sung got together and lived happily ever after… it was so sad seeing them grow old though||

[slender skiff]

Umu

[stable herald]

Umu

[stable herald]

||seeing them grow old? I dont remember that though...iirc the ending is them both flying on a dragon||

[slender skiff]

Are we even talking about the same series at this point

[slender skiff]

Oh @silver robin gimai first yenpress volume is out

Lmao

I'll need to see how they did the translation

[stable herald]

am i the wrong one or him

[slender skiff]

I'm quite sure both happen

[stable herald]

Cuz the ending that i said was ||waaaaay after the son's sequel||

Oh

I dont remember growing old

[slender skiff]

I'll need to check

Talk about convenient plot

(Oh it's a doujin side story? No wonder)

Rip ricchan

[ivory mauve]

Well

[slender skiff]

I was not expecting that ending though

That hit hard

[ivory mauve]

Yeah that would be a bit wierd

[slender skiff]

I meant this ending btw

Omoi

[ivory mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/nodding-happy-yes-yeah-agree-gif-9470192629442860968

[silver robin]

where u find this

[slender skiff]

Same translation group

Listed under Chapter 154.5

As "Doujin #9"

[solid nebula]

Newly weds? Did I miss a page

[slender skiff]

It's a joke/misconception by Nanami

[solid nebula]

Well that went and flew over my head

[slender skiff]

The joke here is that due to "plot" Kaoru needs to stay with them

So to Nanami, it seems that it's like they're newly weds

It's a running gag in this chapter

Because Kaoru feels like they're more like family instead of newly weds

[whole berry]

Fuckkk atla from shield hero is giving me PTSD

[slender skiff]

Because you've read the LN or

Just in general

[whole berry]

when you read a novel long time ago and it just stop at a certain volume never to continue again and you forget about it, then the anime adaptation come and you found the same character that gave you a rollercoaster of emotions.

[slender skiff]

Ah

Hmm

Ah.

Ok I better keep my lips sealed then

I don't think they'll adapt to the Phoenix arc admittedly

So we should be fine on that department

[whole berry]

But idk what they said about altering the village attack or something

[slender skiff]

Oh

The WN

Yeah they don't do the whole poisoning the water thing in the LN

At least, not by volume 20

Because the LN has a completely different attack on the village arc

Well... Also depends on which attack I guess

There's the attack by those related to S'yne

And those related to Q'ten Lo

[whole berry]

The LN, WN and manga of shield hero has a large difference than other works, idk what the author though about creating same story but with different alterations in each media

[slender skiff]

It's normal to have a lot of changes from WN to LN

LN and manga don't have much differences iirc?

The issue is more the anime butchered the adaptation

[whole berry]

Well they usually fit 5 volumes in 12 episodes

That's hard enough

[gusty light]

KageJitsu fit 2 volume into 20 episode

some studio are willing to pack it tight

some wanted to do it leisurely

other just jumped to the gun, leaving any important detail into the dumpster

looks at Arifureta S1

[gusty light]

If your works are adapted by Asread...

Pray

They love bastardizing

[gusty light]

not when you're enjoying anything made by Miki Nazuna

LN/WN: R15
Manga: Seggs

[slender skiff]

No that's quite rare actually

like i can only think of shield hero s2 (technically), danmachi s1 and index s3

the average is 3-4

arifureta s1 was 4 btw

just that they butchered the pacing

vol 1 got like 4 or 5 eps

[slender skiff]

yeah because kagejitsu has so much content in each volume
or really, not much to adapt to begin with

kagejitsu is only getting volume 6 like, in a few days

[gusty light]

MobuSeka also only took 2 volumes for its entire season

[slender skiff]

also makes sense because of the story structure

volume 3 is a completely different arc/location (game)

and yes, the same applies for hamefura aka bakarina

[gusty light]

no, afaik vol.3 is still connected to the previous arc

[slender skiff]

loosely

very loosely

[gusty light]

it's vol. 5 that'll be in a different game

[slender skiff]

it's essentially the 2nd game in the series

is it?

[gusty light]

vol. 4 is the intermission to the 2nd game

[slender skiff]

let me check

[gusty light]

vol. 3 is still connected to the 1st game

it took 3 volumes to wrap up the entire 1st arc

[slender skiff]

oh right

it is 3 volumes

ok now that's just weird

...then again the whole adaptaion of mobuseka was fucking horrendous

the artstyle downgrade was

yikes

[gusty light]

season 2 would be a huge cliffhanger

I think MobuSeka should deserve the same episode amount as KageJitsu

[slender skiff]

if it was as good maybe

god i'm still pissed at how quickly the story fell off

[whole berry]

Speaking of mobuseka, did you know about it's brother the galactic evil lord?

[slender skiff]

nope

[stable herald]

LETSGGOOOOOOOOOO

[stable herald]

What

wait

[slim rain]

Forgot to spoiler the image

[stable herald]

i didnt read that yet

[slim rain]

||They both got kinda old towards the end (although sung was faking it)||

[stable herald]

thats...not old

thats a scar

since his first regression

[slim rain]

It’s kinda hard to tell because of the art style

But they’re definitely getting old

But I’ll rephrase

[boreal oyster]

is that the most overrated manhwa

[slim rain]

It was so sad seeing them grow older together

[stable herald]

CHA

[stable herald]

Yes, now stfu

[slim rain]

Cha still got it

[stable herald]

stop wasting your time shitting on it now. This dude enjoyed finishing it

[slender skiff]

once a beauty, always a beauty

[stable herald]

Wdym sad lmao

[slender skiff]

that or he used powers

[stable herald]

like, a happy sad?

[slim rain]

It’s bittersweet

Yeah

Like “damn, everything really coming to an end now”

I feel bad for the ginger girl at the beginning

She kinda got forgotten

[stable herald]

But hey, atlease knowing there descendant of sung its all right

[slim rain]

Sung literally told her he’d take her out for lunch when he came back and he never did smh

And now she doesn’t even remember him

[slender skiff]

there are series

[stable herald]

The demon girl:

[slender skiff]

where the girl on the poster

you see for like

[slim rain]

Her too

[slender skiff]

most of the early story

and just disappear into obscurity

[stable herald]

Mfker, sung didnt visited her till now lmao

[slender skiff]

cough alisha in tales of zestiria

[slim rain]

I’m exited for the anime, there are so many fire wide-shots and action scenes

[boreal oyster]

demon girl ain't even exist

[slim rain]

I really hope they’re faithful with the art quality

[slender skiff]

it's A1

so 50-50

[stable herald]

Mike please, just shut up and stop wasting your energy

[slim rain]

Demon girl was cute tho

I was rooting for her

[boreal oyster]

don't expect it to be 100% identical to the manhwa

[stable herald]

Whats the worse anime they've adapted and the best up to date?

[boreal oyster]

pretty pls

[slender skiff]

worst?

hmm

[slim rain]

Mappa should’ve done solo leveling

[boreal oyster]

stop

[stable herald]

Stop overworking the animators

[slender skiff]

worst A1 is probably along the lines of apocrypha?

[slim rain]

Mappa employees don’t have enough work smh

[slender skiff]

OH NO

[boreal oyster]

don't be like the majority of the fandom

[slim rain]

Work harder for our amusement

[boreal oyster]

pretty pls pope

[stable herald]

No, work harder to animate Cha

[boreal oyster]

[slender skiff]

7 deadly sins

[slim rain]

[boreal oyster]

the one they adapted was fine tho

[stable herald]

[slim rain]

The animation was…
