[trim swan]

this one's pretty good 👍

I read the manga

I don't like his face on the poster tho

[thorn briar]

I didn't like her that much at the beginning

But , since she has white hair

I like her

[trim swan]

shiro likes white hair

[thorn briar]

Of course

[boreal oyster]

she just loves old ladies

[trim swan]

sugar mommies

[trim swan]

[solid nebula]

WHAT

[thorn briar]

No

Can I scream

[slender skiff]

Did the name not give it away?

[echo quiver]

the hell is a circle crusher

kuroyasha

[solemn pollen]

That's what I'm asking too

[thorn briar]

I took the name from gintama actually

Shiroyasha is gintoki's nickname

[thorn briar]

[echo quiver]

[gusty light]

I guess it has the same kind of meaning as homewrecker

[echo quiver]

bunnygirl

[trim swan]

I always assumed shiroyasha meant white slasher
...oh
I get it now

[echo quiver]

does that mean inuyasha means dog slasher

[trim swan]

[echo quiver]

Inuyasha (犬夜叉, "Dog Demon")

oh

so shiroyasha is white demon

[trim swan]

[echo quiver]

Yasha or yaksha, nature-spirits in Hindu and Buddhist mythology, sometimes depicted as demonic warriors

i see

[thorn briar]

Yes

[thorn briar]

Then why did you destroy him

[quaint patrol]

so serializable, too bad it's a one shot

[stable herald]

Mann....I woke up with my friend messaging me that she just got trashed away by her partner

I wanna hug her and let her cry n let all out soo bad

Shes such a good person

[quaint patrol]

vol 7 alya is pretty nice

i mean end of vol 6

yuki is also super cute in 7

[slender skiff]

The gremlin, cute?

Is the world coming to an end?

[quaint patrol]

in full tho

it's ended

world's ended

[stable herald]

lmao

[stable herald]

which one is this

[slender skiff]

Oh god

That is adorable whatdaheck

[stable herald]

isnt this the manga with a very good writing of an imouto's characteristic?

[slender skiff]

It's pretty extreme

To be honest

[stable herald]

lmao

[quaint patrol]

it's not realistic writing

[slender skiff]

I wouldn't call Yuki a realistic example

[stable herald]

Whats the name again? I've read it b4

[quaint patrol]

alya

[slender skiff]

Roshidere

[stable herald]

RUSSIAN MANGA

YEAH I DO

[quaint patrol]

it's barely russian

[slender skiff]

Realistic imouto would be like

Komachi from Oregairu

By far

[slender skiff]

As much as I simp for Suou Yuki over here

She's a gremlin

[quaint patrol]

it's safe to call yuki best girl

[slender skiff]

An otaku gremlin

[quaint patrol]

because the author has zero intention of incest

it's so nice

[slender skiff]

But yeah absolutely not realistic

[slender skiff]

I mean do you really want a little sister who basically drugged you to keep you of the action

[ivory mauve]

Wtf.........

[slender skiff]

I mean

I say drug

[quaint patrol]

it's just cold medicine with sleeping side effect

[echo quiver]

why is there a spider shiro and a less spider shiro

[quaint patrol]

cos he had a cold

[slender skiff]

But what she did was get their maid to give him stronger painkillers when he was ill

[quaint patrol]

read it

[echo quiver]

no

[quaint patrol]

i think it's a little spoiler

[slender skiff]

Causing him to miss an extra day of school by accident

[echo quiver]

the top left one confuses me

[slender skiff]

Speaking of Kumoko

[echo quiver]

oh, ||the bottom portion is sentient?||

[stable herald]

?????????????????????

[slender skiff]

Yes bruv

[stable herald]

She overdosed mc with vodka?

wtf?

[slender skiff]

Nope

Cold medicine

[echo quiver]

i only saw the anime and that form only appears for like 10 seconds

and she's lobotimized

[slender skiff]

Well less overdose more off choosing stronger ones than necessary

Yuki is an otaku gremlin yes

[echo quiver]

ah. wait, it's coming back to me. ||she wanted a human form but then found out the top half cant talk||

[slender skiff]

But she's also insanely sneaky

Spoiler ||she does get an actual human form||

If it wasn't obvious from how the animu ended when reuniting with her classmates

[ivory mauve]

IT'S TIME

[echo quiver]

wait, ||the top half is|sentient???||

[slender skiff]

Less sentient

Independent

[echo quiver]

that's so weird

[slender skiff]

She literally has 2 brens now

[echo quiver]

damn

[slender skiff]

So if one gets blown off

The other still works

[echo quiver]

i mean, she had 3 before

but i guess this is more literal

[slender skiff]

2 bren and 2 head

So she can take a headshot

And still be a mood

[echo quiver]

nice

[ivory mauve]

||GOD MODE ACQUIRED||

[slender skiff]

Though as said

She doesn't keep that form for long

[slender skiff]

Cos yes, this

Lmfao

[stable herald]

Junji ito bullshit

give me

[ivory mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/kumoko-gif-24843103

[stable herald]

wait

SAME MANGA?

[ivory mauve]

Yes

[stable herald]

Since when

it became a horror

lmao

[ivory mauve]

Always was

Fusion dance. No Fission dance

[slender skiff]

Uh mitter

Wat

[ivory mauve]

Because she ate a antimatter Demon core

[echo quiver]

the only thing worse than a demon core

[slender skiff]

Mitter it was never exactly a horror in the junjo ito sense

It was a horror in the sense of

[ivory mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/karameru-demon-core-running-run-away-running-away-gif-25726914

[slender skiff]

Why is everything in that world so extreme

[slender skiff]

Don't
You'll summon Kyle Hill

[ivory mauve]

Oh

But that's exactly what she ate

[ivory mauve]

Because SCIENCE

And also Potimas

[slender skiff]

I mean Potimas is very extreme

But consider the original Wakaba Shiro

[ivory mauve]

She's just extra spicy

[slender skiff]

Also tbh

Ariel as a character is also a meme

Again, thanks to Kumoko

[zinc lance]

THE CLIFF

the FUKKEN CLIFF

Insert Helicopter ptsd Gif here

[stable herald]

thats a hyperbole

[slender skiff]

You wanna know what's a horror in the junji ito sense?

[zinc lance]

i mean i know what's gonna happen but still

[stable herald]

sure

[zinc lance]

[slender skiff]

Ex-arm

[stable herald]

but ex arm

oh ok

[quaint patrol]

"Damn, i took the full brunt of that, i feel dizzy"

• after being hit by a bazooka

[ivory mauve]

Anime was horrible. Manga is passable

[slender skiff]

Didn't it get axed

After the animu

[ivory mauve]

What

Oh no

[slender skiff]

Kekw

Here you simp @stable herald

[stable herald]

WAIT

I DONT READ IT YET

Tomorrow i got exam Ender

[quaint patrol]

luminas is so hot

[slender skiff]

I thought you said you were finished

Uwu

[slender skiff]

Tensura?

To quote Rimuru

[quaint patrol]

yes from tensura

[ivory mauve]

Tweeat

[quaint patrol]

ahhhh blanc

i remember reading her short story once

i cant remember at all where it is

[ivory mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/eating-candies-stitch-lilo-and-stitch-munching-candies-eating-sweets-gif-27247199

Same destructive energy

Ngl she's kinda cute

[heavy nexus]

STICHT!

[ivory mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/hi-gif-27097219

[thorn briar]

[slender skiff]

@ivory mauve so
You think mitter will die of simpage tomorrow?

From Teresa I mean

[ivory mauve]

Yes

[slender skiff]

The real question is

From which one

[ivory mauve]

From both

[zinc lance]

so i refound this novel i read back then again, i left it on ch60? i think, i guess i'll be busy for 2 days

[zinc lance]

i hope it's as good as i remember it

reading the chapters in the correct order is gonna be a drag tho

[silver robin]

if its from the same fantl group

just get it from their website

also you can email the novelupdates staff to fix it and they respond pretty fast too lol

source: ive done that a couple times

[zinc lance]

yea the that site only collects link to the tl groups

the problem is there were multible

[silver robin]

rip

[zinc lance]

so i gotta first find the ones that translated the most

[silver robin]

yea just email novelupdates and they should fix it

[silver robin]

just start with chapter 1

cause aint no way theres mixing and matching

[zinc lance]

yea, probably gotta have to do that

[zinc lance]

good news, i found one group translating from 30 to 270 and one until 30

[solid nebula]

I have question, why is that a question?

oh that was some of the GOOD shit for max level newbie

[somber relic]

and you know what? all of the author's serialization got axed

oh wait nvm I mistaken Tadahiro Miura with Tsunehiro Date

my bad

https://tenor.com/view/misinformation-team-fortress2-tf2-soldier-tf2-meet-the-spy-gif-12327531192716704305

[ivory mauve]

Damn it Cale, you stold her heart. Take responsibility you con artists

Count's Trash

[ivory mauve]

WMDDDDDDDSSSSS

[quaint patrol]

this TL is insane

they do these gifs every chapter

[slim rain]

Latest episode of JJK was fucking INSANE

I say this about literally every episode that comes out but that was the most well-animated episode so far

They consistently one-up themselves

I can’t wait to see more sukuna action

[slim rain]

like dayum

||how hot does sukunas flames have to be to burn jogo to death of all people? bro is literally a volcano spirit||

[echo quiver]

why the hell do they do these gifs

what purpose could animating these arms even serve

[trim swan]

do not question the gods

thou art but a mere mortal

[slender skiff]

Lmfao

[slender skiff]

I mean he has come close
Not sure if he'll actually move on tho

[echo quiver]

ponta

damn, this mysterious person ive never seen before is such a clutz

neeeeever seen before

[serene forge]

I'd smash

[grim pebble]

Why is that gonna be a problem, how bad can it be

[quaint patrol]

it's sign language

[boreal oyster]

??

[whole berry]

This is highschool dxd type power

Paillangual or something

[signal grotto]

he's furuya rei also known as amuro tooru, and undercover public security police officer in the black organization codenmaed bourbon. there's another undercover cia agent in the black organization as well. codenamed kir, real name is hondou hidemi

[quaint patrol]

i wonder when frieren author will stop being busy with anime

how much more production there's left to do

im waiting for new chapters

[somber relic]

Lol frieren's author already took hiatus for couple times already before anime adaptation out

It doesn't really matter

Lewd

[quaint patrol]

but that's because he's working on anime

what?

[somber relic]

Eh, no

[somber relic]

Here is the thing, dude doesn't work like Slam Dunk's author who officially working on the anime as director

And Slam Dunk's case is very rare

And Frieren's hiatus in the past was because of health issue

Most of the times manga author's hiatus barely have relation with anime adaptation production of their works

There is a reason why anime production staff have their own scriptwriter, and the scriptwriter isn't the author of the original work itself

This also applied to real movie adaptations based on Novels

Well, unless you have info that Frieren's author work directly in the anime production, my bad then

But most of the time it doesn't work like that

Far from the naughtiest thing she has done or will do

Mikakunin de Shinkoukei

[whole berry]

WHOOOOOOOOO

[ivory mauve]

PRAISE

[gusty light]

all I see is a lot of yuri-inducing delusions between the heroines

[gusty light]

Pailingual

Op... + Bilingual

[gusty light]

I have seen too many people normalizing yuri that would accuse someone homophobic just by saying no to it

[somber relic]

???

the fuck are you talking about

[gusty light]

just saying

[somber relic]

I don't like yuri manga

[gusty light]

I know

[somber relic]

does that make me a homophobic now

[gusty light]

nope

I mean saying no to normalizing yuri

not the yuri itself

[somber relic]

who normalized yuri here again

what kind of mental gymnastic you have atm

[gusty light]

not here, somewhere else

[somber relic]

why you mentioned that here then

[gusty light]

just saying

[somber relic]

[gusty light]

but ok

sorry

[gusty light]

neither am I, though mainly because I found most Yuri plot to be way too cheesy

for me, yuri plot and yuri isekai plot aka male reincarnated as female/female reincarnated as female then love another female mc is just too bruh for me and right now it is too mainstream

most of the time, it makes me numb and to some extent, cringe

[whole berry]

YOOOOOOO EMINENCE OF THE SHADOW VOL 6 IS FINALLY HERE

But it’s great that terrorist incidents happen frequently in other worlds.
In my previous life, the only events for me were hunting down biker gangs.

[flat cedar]

NEW SHIELD HERO is out

[flat cedar]

?????????

[slender skiff]

Yep
LN vol 6 just got released in JP

[gusty light]

and the FanTL quickly TLed it

[slender skiff]

"Quickly"

They absolutely just MTLed it lmao

[gusty light]

[slender skiff]

There's absolutely no way any decent translation is going to be done in a few days

[gusty light]

but alas, don't get your hopes up for a proper translation

[slender skiff]

QC for translation is by far the most difficult part

[gusty light]

Delay Press being Slow

[slender skiff]

I mean

It depend on the series really

Some are absurdly fast

[gusty light]

nah, not even JNC or Seven Seas are that slow

[somber relic]

Real

[somber relic]

How fast are they though? By your standard

[flat cedar]

Wish they'd kill Bitch already. Man she's is genuinely one of the most hated chars

in the longest time

[slender skiff]

Hmm

Let me find an example

[flat cedar]

Like I know bitch does eventually but

can we speed it up

[somber relic]

I dont recall any licenses LN titles published quickly after new volume out in JP

[flat cedar]

[trim swan]

no way

hoffen finally got nitro

[slender skiff]

6 months

For the more reliable publishers

[flat cedar]

only for like 2 weeks

[slender skiff]

Good luck
She ain't kicking the bucket till the end of the goddamn series

[somber relic]

They give ppl two weeks nitro free

[flat cedar]

FUCKING

god dammit

[somber relic]

I mean discord

[slender skiff]

I mean in the WN she's LITERALLY the final boss

So

[trim swan]

guess no free nitro if you already have a subscription

[slender skiff]

It's probably not gonna differ much in the LN

[somber relic]

Duh

[trim swan]

[trim swan]

bro did you just give shield hero major spoilers

[slender skiff]

Yeah this is probably one of the faster TLs out there...

WEB NOVEL

The WN is so different from the LN it's insane

[somber relic]

Raphtalia got proposed by Joe Biden in vol.30

[slender skiff]

Like

Kizuna doesn't exist in the WN

[trim swan]

bros being controlled by AI

[slender skiff]

Neither does Therese and L'arc

[trim swan]

I'll be under your bed if bitch is indeed the final boss

[somber relic]

more like the writing in WN is so bad they have to revised the whole shit in LN version right

[flat cedar]

Yes

WN rough draft

LN definitive

Manga some weird in between

[somber relic]

I'm amazed that you guys manage to endure the torture read Shield Hero beyond Great Turtle's arc

[flat cedar]

Great turtle was the major L the creator took

[gusty light]

WN is like a proof of concept

hell, Overlord WN doesn't have Albedo from what I've heard

[somber relic]

No, WN is just pretty much a fanfic/self published work that got polished when they actually got serialized into LN format

Wattpad's stuff is technically webnovels as well

[gusty light]

I wouldn't call Wattpad stuff as... WN to begin with

[somber relic]

Syousetsu is basically just Wattpas Japanese version even

[somber relic]

Both are webnovels if you really want to argue with semantic

[gusty light]

Syosetsu and Kakuyomu are their main front for those stuff

[somber relic]

Webcomic is also the same

Stuff from Twitter, pixiv etc.

Self published stuff

Syousetsu and Wattpad is the platform for them (webnovel)

Pixiv for webcomic/webmanga

[slender skiff]

Correct

And Shaltear wasn't as uh good

[somber relic]

Oh yeah Pixiv has novel content too, although it doesn't really known

[gusty light]

it's less of a "both are the same" and more of a "at least they made it as original as it looks"

[slender skiff]

Well WN Shaltear's obsession with Ainz was split off into Albedo

And ofc arche didn't die

[gusty light]

most of the WNs I saw/read on Syosetsu is their original idea

same goes in Kakuyomu

oh, and why am I forgetting about Scribblehub?

[slender skiff]

Debatable tbh

[gusty light]

[slender skiff]

I still cry over the fact we lost the mad scientist arc

[gusty light]

like I said, it's rather a proof of concept before they began serializing it

a lot of things will surely be changed in the LN

[slender skiff]

It depends

Some WNs have minimal changes with the LN

Mushoku is a very good example

The only major addition was well, the entirety of vol 7 ka Sara's arc

[somber relic]

You can call that to most fiction literature stuff in internet that haven't got sold into market yet then, because they haven't went through editorial phase yet

[slender skiff]

Re:Zero also didn't have much changes from the WN

Neither did Bookworm

[somber relic]

And ofc how much change from WN to LN depend on the editor as well

Behind the Scene stuff

[slender skiff]

If the original story is good enough then there isn't much to do lmao

[gusty light]

and yet you call it pretty much a fanfic or something like that

I myself am a fanfic writer once

[somber relic]

Because it does until they make it to serialization

[gusty light]

no longer do that since 2020

[somber relic]

You can call it as "doujin" if you are a weeb

[gusty light]

I mean if they have the guts, sure. But they won't do that if the plot was bound to someone else's IP

[somber relic]

Doujinshi mean self published stuff

It's not that deep

[gusty light]

I mean, duh

[slender skiff]

I mean

What's wrong with calling it a doujin

[quaint patrol]

yea it's simple

[slender skiff]

One of the series I like to talk about here

Was serialised forever as a doujin

And then it recently got picked up as a manga

But the original doujin is still going strong

And still being translated

[gusty light]

but fanfics are bound to a certain IP that I don't think the original creator will let that slip if they monetize that thing

[somber relic]

I realized it was partly at my fault cuz technically fanfic mean a story that derivated from a fiction series by fans (a.k.a not cannon)

[slender skiff]

https://anilist.co/manga/113076

[somber relic]

But anyway my point still same, there are still lot of original story from Wattpad

[slender skiff]

Thanks anilist for the lack of thumbnail

[gusty light]

that's why I heavily argue as a former fanfic writer

but overall, it's understandable

[somber relic]

In that aspect, Wattpad and Syousetsu are same

[gusty light]

Wattpad does host original stuff, yes

[somber relic]

There were some Wattpad's original story that actually got a serialization in my country, they are junk food teenlit stuff though

[boreal oyster]

"Ichigo, do you know how i hate the furry?"
-yhwach, 2006-

[quaint patrol]

"junkfood teenlit stuff" so same as alot of JP WN to manga stuff

[somber relic]

Teenlit here I mean Teenlit romance stuff

Not random action fantasy

[quaint patrol]

oh

[gusty light]

so like

is it similar to Isekai stuff in a sense of popular genre or something like that?

[whole berry]

Finished vol 6

Twas nice

[somber relic]

More or less

[whole berry]

King midgar was actually a cool guy, thought he was already part of the cult but he's actually neutral

[gusty light]

how neutral is he

is he not gonna fuck up Cid's BS?

[thorn briar]

He's neutral neutral

We won't side with the cult

But he won't side with shadow money wizard gang too

He's waiting for the winner between the two

But iris

anyway good night and stay hydrated

Oda , source: bsd beast

The fact that he's alive in bsd beast , it makes me cry

I forgot that he can see 3 min into the future

Weren't those kids that got ||bombed in a van in front if oda|| in the main manga

I remember he was taking care of them

It was in dark era light novel

[stable herald]

That looks cursed

are they merged

[thorn briar]

Idk

They were supposed to be 5 kids in the ln

But , in beast they are 15

[quaint patrol]

@slender skiff ancient magus bride is starting this school arc so so late

[slender skiff]

Weren't they supposed to have started already

Based on the promo pics at least

[quaint patrol]

im reading from the start

this is like 40 long chapters in

[slender skiff]

Oh

[quaint patrol]

i mean i guess bookworm starts its magical academy arc after four parts

but still

[trim swan]

l e w d

[crisp talon]

i know that manga! (i think)

[trim swan]

[dry moon]

Hmm

The name rings a bell

[dry moon]

But that could be due to the abundance of similar titles

[weak glacier]

good lord, not in my Christian server

[whole berry]

Ah this thing

The demon harem guy

[echo quiver]

i remember when conan was still using phone booths everywhere. now he somehow learned to code a website and it hasn't even been a year

[boreal oyster]

name me one anime
reincarnated as a villain
but actually become a villain

[echo quiver]

i was told overlord is actually a villain

everyone else is too nice

i guess slime isekai is kinda a villain

depending on your perspective

[boreal oyster]

slime is too civil

[echo quiver]

same goes for that spider anime

she literally just has to not kill everyone, but what does she do? she kills everyone

no knocking out. no scaring away. just commits murder left and right

[somber relic]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[silver robin]

he is following shit coding practices btw

[somber relic]

aint no fucking way

[echo quiver]

well, he's 8, so

[silver robin]

why are these not indented

its supposed to be

[boreal oyster]

can't see shit

[silver robin]

<ul class="whatever lol">
  <li class="hahaxd"> test </li>
  <li class="hahaxd"> test </li>
  ...
  <li class="hahaxd"> test </li>
</ul>

but he didn't indent the li

like he indented fine above that

[somber relic]

this looks so bad holy shit

https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/titles/100282

[boreal oyster]

formo

[silver robin]

anime coming soon btw

lol

[somber relic]

well this is 7s version

mangaplus version just bad

[silver robin]

oh so mangaplus has more censorship

by 7s you mean seven seas?

[boreal oyster]

you think?

💀

[quaint patrol]

ok but in his defense

[boreal oyster]

tis but a scratch!

[quaint patrol]

he's literally able to stop his bleeding

if he werent dying

[somber relic]

yeah

fucking medibang

[silver robin]

kek

[quaint patrol]

censoring booba

sad

[echo quiver]

wait, when the hell did they upgrade to smartp- oh, this is someone else's phone

main character still too poor and using flip phone

i think it's someone else's phone anyway. im gonna be mad if they upgraded everyone's phones without telling me

[silver robin]

what usually happens is people buy a $100-$200 phone every year, then give the old version to a younger sibling / cousin / family friend for free

rinse and repeat if your family / friend circle is very large

[echo quiver]

wait, they definitely upgrade at least some of the main cast's phones

[somber relic]

no, the funny thing about Case Closed in the post above is, the manga already running for so long it will be funny if ppl suddenly used smartphone instead of flip phone

[echo quiver]

and it's only 2012

[somber relic]

Case Closed manga serialized in 1994

and no one use smartphone at that time

[echo quiver]

yeah, it was funny seeing everyone suddenly using flip phones

and now smartphones introduced and no one batting an eye

[somber relic]

kek

[somber relic]

btw Monthly Shoujo Manga Nozaki did mentioned this issue in one of the manga chapter

it's kinda problematic for manga author who already have their manga serialized for more than one or two decades usually

[echo quiver]

it's no problem. it's uh... flexible!

Like isn't the whole point to make a stand

Bruh the time travel is confusing

[slender skiff]

I mean let's be real here silver

When is time travel not confusing

[whole berry]

His ex disappeared and he proceeds to do time travel with a piano

[slender skiff]

Wait, a piano?

Time travel with a piano isn't a new concept

[whole berry]

What

How

I'll read the novel later

[slender skiff]

There's a Chinese movie from like about 16 years ago

[whole berry]

I only read 3 chapters of the manga

[slender skiff]

Starring the Jay Chou

Who is a very popular Chinese musician

Basically if he plays a certain tune on the piano

He can travel back in time

[whole berry]

First thing came up is piano battle

[slender skiff]

Yeah that piano battle was

Rather silly all things considered

But yeah the whole story is basically

That MC finds an old piano with an old score on it
With a name he's never heard of

[whole berry]

This

[slender skiff]

He plays it and discovered he travels back in time

Well the difference is

He falls in love with a girl in the past

[whole berry]

But i think the reason why the piano is the medium in the novel is that his ex is a musician

[whole berry]

This

[slender skiff]

And well

...should I spoil how the movie ends?

[whole berry]

Do spoil

[slender skiff]

So
This piano is in an old music building

And towards the end of the movie

The music building is about to be demolished

Piano and all

As the damn thing is collapsing
He plays the tune one last time

And successfully travels back one last time before the building collapses

[whole berry]

Bruh resemblance is uncanny

[slender skiff]

Well, they initially left it vague if he did

Until later there's an old picture found of him and the girl

In the school's old yearbooks

Showing that he indeed manage to travel back successfully

And end up with his girl

Tho he's kinda stuck in the past forever

Since there's no piano in the future for him to travel back to

[whole berry]

Guy comes to the past to revive the astronomy club, because it might make the ex appear. The ex disappeared after a suicide note but no body was found. It's heavily implied that the ex got caught in a time loop

[slender skiff]

I mean it's not so simple in the movie

That's just what I remembered off the top of my head

[whole berry]

Sounds like good ending to me

Bruh i thought this was just a diabetes novel

Boy i was wrong

[slender skiff]

Oh right

I missed quite a lot of bits such as the drama of the ||love interest dying due to an asthma attack|| cos lol butterfly effect

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_(2007_film)

Anyways that's the original film

[whole berry]

Bruhhhh

[slender skiff]

I did misremember some of the plot points

But well

It's a classic melodrama

[slender skiff]

WELL IT'S NOT YOUR LIE IN APRIL AT LEAST

[whole berry]

Wait

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

THAT DAMN PIANOOOOOOOO

THE PATTERNS ARE STARTING TO FORM

IS THIS REVENGE FOR FORCING ASIANS TO PLAY PIANO THAT IT HURTS THEM AND NOW IT'S OUR TURN

[slender skiff]

LMAO

what is this a steven he video

[whole berry]

They want us to feel the pain they had

It all makes sense now

[silver robin]

hitenkei

[silver robin]

love that guy

[silver robin]

i know this guy and i don't listen to cn music

[slender skiff]

Oh yeah

Just realised that that is hitenkei

[slender skiff]

Now this is surprising

[silver robin]

its cause uncle roger mentioned him in the bubble tea video lmao

"is this jay chou boba shop"
"no"

[slender skiff]

Ofc it's Uncle Roger

[silver robin]

hes the goat too

[trim swan]

frieiren was the final boss all along

[slender skiff]

Blend S?

First Mikakunin, now this

Boi reading some forgotten romcoms

[somber relic]

Yes

[slender skiff]

And this is how, Akari Kitou came to the forefront

[somber relic]

You called them forgotten romcoms? Oh boi, you haven't seen my romcom reading list then

[slender skiff]

I mean Blend S was the in-thing a few years ago

Mikakunin is absolutely forgotten tho

[somber relic]

Mikakunin still decently popular in manga reader community, well maybe forgotten for anime watcher enjoyer only I suppose

[slender skiff]

Oh huh

Is it now

I mean I am still reading it myself

Along with D-Frag

The reason I didn't read Blend S at the time was because I think there were no TLs?

Or not much

[somber relic]

Blend S scanlation stopped around vol. 2 because it got licensed by SoL Press, and then SoL Press closed their business and they only license Blend S for their first volume only (ex-license chapters available on Mangadex, it's legal because of the ex license status)

After that no one picked the manga until around first quarter of 2023 and the scanlation just finished like some months ago

[slender skiff]

sol

Of course

Oh huh

Wait they TLed the whole damn thing in the last 6 months?

Wow

[somber relic]

My bad it took more than a year, sorry for a little bit of misinformation

Well it's only 8 volumes anyway, not so much

[slender skiff]

Eh that's still pretty damn good

Shd read it

The other one I want to read is Gabriel Dropout

Last I checked I think 4 volumes got TLed

[boreal oyster]

tachiyomi ⚠️⚠️⚠️🫵

[somber relic]

It's ackshually not tachiyomi

AYO

We are so back

[thorn briar]

This is conan's phone actually and he has a 2nd one which is his shinchi number

They changed akai's phone as well

He has an ipad now as well

Ran didn't change her phone

It's still the same

[somber relic]

iToddler yikes

[weak glacier]

I'm upset how bad Yumeko is

[thorn briar]

He only used it once

When they were talking about Rum and haneda

[slender skiff]

@plain garden

[somber relic]

https://tenor.com/view/azur-lane-cooper-allen-m-sumner-sumner-ingraham-gif-24727359

[echo quiver]

nyann~

[echo quiver]

damn. an ipad

[trim swan]

[plain garden]

It’s only gonna be like 10 chapters iirc

[trim swan]

sadge

[somber relic]

If anything it's good

The reason I dropped Takagi-san manga was because it dragged for too long

[trim swan]

I never started with the manga

watched 2 seasons of anime and the rest is plan to watch

[somber relic]

If only the comedy didn't get stale and not repeating the same kind of joke every chapters

That was kinda painful to read for me

[somber relic]

So you haven't read this yet then? https://anilist.co/manga/99549/Karakai-Jouzu-no-Moto-Takagisan

[trim swan]

I mean

I know it exists

[somber relic]

You missed real good stuff

It's tenth time better than takagi main title, trust me

[trim swan]

[quaint patrol]

hmmm

the dad had zero character development

idk how they fked for chi

[stable herald]

???????????????????

@ivory mauve CORRUPTION GIANT GOT A SPEC UPGRADE

WOOOOOOOO

[ivory mauve]

Ooooh

[thorn briar]

Yes, which he only used once and it's in the back of his chair in his car

I sound like stalker wtf

Akai

[thorn briar]

It's not

[thorn briar]

Why did u do this even

[thorn briar]

Also

Ran , shinchi was jealous when u sonoko took a pic of u and okita

Why wouldn't she think so

[thorn briar]

Hakuba

It's been ages since he appeared

Also , I didn't expect that that room could be removed

This is the 2nd time where kaito is being framed for a murder that he didn't do

Conan will help him , but there is a condition

We gonna see more of hakuba in the next chapter

I caught up with the manga now

[silver robin]

its tearmoon saturday

i see what you mean by horse sandwiches

[thorn briar]

[thorn briar]

Sonoko will use hakuba to make conan jealous

[silver robin]

holy shitty ui

esports anime has a scene where guy says to "just win tournaments to earn money!" (aka gambling) cause otherwise it will take too long to earn enough money

gamer moment

even more gamer moment

[little kelp]

anyone watched attack on titan?

was pretty huge a week ago or so

[trim swan]

well it did end

[sudden lantern]

Finally now we wait for the end of One Piece

[thorn briar]

Wtf

And lishu is 14 now

And who tf is this

[thorn briar]

I like her

[slim rain]

purple hair so pretty

[quaint patrol]

im watching

[silver robin]

good stuff

[trim swan]

sauce

I got too much anime backlog

most stuff I just forget to watch

[ivory mauve]

||"I AM THE FINAL BOSS"||

[quaint patrol]

so rn

chise is like

not in threat of dying within a few years?

because of her tandem curses

[echo quiver]

they're just using smartphones everywhere now.

i hate the new smartphones. they have no personality

the flip phone used to have a soccer ball attacheed

this one is just red

and it's an iphone

[signal grotto]

akai-san one of my favorite characters in detective conan for his badass, furuya rei also pretty badass with his driving skills. put kudo-kun with them, they become the ultimate team

[echo quiver]

"driving skills"

insurance companies hate him

[signal grotto]

he did what he had to, to save kudo-kun

but sera is much more savage, bitch slapping the criminal suspect with her motor bike

[echo quiver]

that i approve of

[signal grotto]

but honestly, those detective boys never learnt their lessons

[echo quiver]

bonking someone in the head with a running bike tire is amazing

like a less sharp chainsaw

[signal grotto]

kudo-kun told them to not to get themselves into dangerous situations, but they never listens

[echo quiver]

conan: "just call the cops and they'll resolve it in like 5 minutes"
kids: "let's go break into the criminal's house lol"

[signal grotto]

hope shiho miyano can put all members of the b.o. behind bars with kudo-kun. they killed her older sis

[echo quiver]

and her parents

[signal grotto]

they told them, they'd be set free after they steal a certain amount of money, but her older sis was shot to death as a traitor

[signal grotto]

yep

wonder who's gonna be jodie sensei's new seiyuu, since her original one had passed away

[echo quiver]

damn, they're not even using chalk anymore for body outlines. just using rope. the future truly is something

that's just a hand because i dont wanna show a full body outline

they're spooky

mostly because this guy landed on their head

damn, and they're photoshopping photos now

[signal grotto]

but shiho miyano is pretty hot

[echo quiver]

go back to the simpler days of fishing string

[echo quiver]

she's like 8

[signal grotto]

her actual age is 18 btw

kudo-kun's actual age is 17

[echo quiver]

her goth lolita outfit is cool tho

[signal grotto]

kaito kid's weakness if fish btw

but kudo-kun doesn't know about it yet

[echo quiver]

the worst part about them modernizing everything is that they're adding more post-credit scenes

and i keep missing the ones that come after a mid-case episode

they used to only add post-credit scenes for the end of cases

[signal grotto]

if you think bout it, a lot of the murdered victims in detective conan, deserved what happened to them caue they did some awful things to the killer's family members

[echo quiver]

that's how you can tell who's going to die at the start

every time i see someone being mean or saying something rude, i know they're going to die

the writers have to justify the murder. most people don't commit homicide for fun.

[echo quiver]

wait

this isn't konosuba

or mob 100

[somber relic]

Mangaka love to treat women nicely

look at act age author for example

[silver robin]

NOOOOOOOO

i feel bad for that artist

*act age artist

they didn't deserve this

[quaint patrol]

this is mob 100?

[somber relic]

nohttps://anilist.co/manga/85212/Zai-x-10

from the author of danshi kokosei no nichijou

[slender skiff]

HORSE SANDWICHES

[slender skiff]

Welcome to ancient China

Though admittedly

That's more the previous emperor being a well

Someone that would love that Shigure Ui song

[slender skiff]

Yes cos that's Mashle

And it was Index's Touma that started the trend of gender equality

Like 15 years ago

[silver robin]

https://tenor.com/view/slap-hit-strike-mad-angry-gif-16080264

[slender skiff]

To be fair

This one wasn't so much as gender equality

As he knocked some sense into her

[whole berry]

Nah this was self defense

[neat pelican]

For Raildex there, Touma would pretty much use his skill cancelling ability just so he wouldn't get shocked by Misaka at first. Although later on we would punch people that needed to be stopped from doing the wrong thing if sorts

[slender skiff]

I mean he never punched Misaka

The most he did was bonk her at the end of the level 6 arc

The rank upper arc I think it's called?

Oh boi
Here we go for best girl's arc

[somber relic]

this manga got anime adaptation with higher budget than what it deserve

[slender skiff]

I mean

[somber relic]

meanwhile anime like Ragna Crimson and Helck

[slender skiff]

looks at kanokari

Which has even higher budget

Like

For what it's worth

[somber relic]

Ragna Crimson and Helck are such good manga but the anime adaptation were dogshit

[slender skiff]

Kanokari is incredibly well animated

...for a romcom

[somber relic]

real

[slender skiff]

And the artist on the other hand

Fucking 2 page spread just for her to say she's on her period

What the fuck

HORSE SANDWICH SCENE LETS GO

It looks more surreal than it did in the LN that's for sure

And there it is

[trim swan]

I thought horse sandwich meant made with horse meat

[slender skiff]

It's a lot more literal

[somber relic]

sandwiched by horse girl

[trim swan]

[somber relic]

My PoV

[silver robin]

also drawn

[silver robin]

ragna crimson and kingdom of ruin seem like good source material but mid/bad anime

[slender skiff]

Standard for shounen then

[silver robin]

*not jump shonen

[somber relic]

more like standard for most good manga which receive anime adaptation

look at how many titles POLYGON studio already butchered

their original sources are peak manga

but holy fuck their anime adaptation were awful

[slender skiff]

I mean

There's plenty of good manga that received good anime adaptation

But yeah it's basically the non-jump ones

Dr Stone is still going strong

[somber relic]

"plenty" is overstatement

unless you only talking about popular title in mainstream community

[slender skiff]

I mean obviously there's more mediocre series than good ones

But yes

Plenty

[signal grotto]

rent a girlfriend is shit

[slender skiff]

i mean

duh

[slender skiff]

the whole point of that convo was that, it's incredibly animated despite being shit

soooo
