[quaint patrol]

oh

[dry moon]

Yeah, I like them

[quaint patrol]

yeah naddy and yaku being old are funny

[dry moon]

Mhm

Drunk girl is also hot

Yaku is really cute

Naddy likes hugs

[quaint patrol]

from that pretty new chapter?

[dry moon]

Mhm

Oh, I guess the massage girl could be considered the same as the others but it’s more logical

Technically all the girls are normal except for one thing they just have varying levels of logicality and how much their entire personality plays into it

[quaint patrol]

idr her having a single shred of personality

the massage girl

[dry moon]

Yeah

[quaint patrol]

she's just a scene setter

[dry moon]

Interesting hair though

Never seen it before

[quaint patrol]

oh ig

had to look it up

[slender skiff]

Naddy is interesting

[dry moon]

She’s cute, though

Yaku, Naddy, drunk teacher, and tsun probably my favs

Karane is really cute

[quaint patrol]

japanese naddy is my fave

[weak glacier]

ooh my gawd

79 pounds of Japanese manga

[slender skiff]

Calm down

Bocchi the Shinsengumi Guitarist?

[weak glacier]

I hurt my back

[cedar furnace]

That's a lot

[weak glacier]

I started counting manga by the pound

There's no pound hand counting anymore

I think that's like over 80 volumes or idk

[slender skiff]

I sincerely hope you're not going broke over this

[cedar furnace]

If he did it should tell him something

[slender skiff]

[weak glacier]

I did broke one thing

It was my back

[slender skiff]

So you're gonna go broke over the hospital bills instead

[weak glacier]

nah

stronk boi

[slender skiff]

Just American healthcare things

[weak glacier]

Honestly

They were cheap

like 150 yen each, that's including shipping costs

So at least 12,000 yen

🤔

I know I got at least 30 volumes of freezing alone

[weak glacier]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jNiKU4-ybBc

reminded me of this

[quaint patrol]

kekw

[slender skiff]

Do I want to ask

[weak glacier]

peak writer

[stable herald]

tqvm shiro

[quaint patrol]

this was a pretty rare plot maybe? im not sure, but it was actually pretty funny

[slender skiff]

No as in do I want to ask about the context

[quaint patrol]

it's an mmorpgish world where this area has classic dragon veins

||at first, they explode these veins in order to win boss fights, but they ruin the territory of several villages||

the overall god of the area ||confirmed later that they needed to destroy the dragon veins, but that means wrecking havoc on the entire region||

so they followed their objective but upturned all the villages

it's funny because some assorted people were begging them to not destroy everything

their first two god victims were crying

it was after the third time that the objective changes

or 4th

[slender skiff]

Bruh

[silver robin]

[weak glacier]

I need Internet Explorer to go with my Michealsoft Binbows

[quaint patrol]

[quaint patrol]

lmaoooo

[weak glacier]

[quaint patrol]

i didnt know merryweather's yaoi series

[weak glacier]

nah

[quaint patrol]

I know theyre doing the other one

[weak glacier]

It was April Fools

[quaint patrol]

oh

[quaint patrol]

this one is a series tho

[weak glacier]

It's so funny reading an old web series

Like all the old references and jokes

I feel old

[quaint patrol]

merryweather makes me nostalgic for old r/animemes

before trap was banned

[quaint patrol]

i agree

i think merry has a vhs retirement comic too?

[weak glacier]

🤔

idk this my first one

[silver robin]

merry is an old man now

[boreal oyster]

huh

[boreal oyster]

human bad, must genos

[silver robin]

moar

[stable herald]

Ooh damn, I forgot how stunning his sister is

[zinc lance]

time to throw fists with some kids

[quasi vault]

engagement cancelled i call cancelled!!! House destroyed!!!

[slender skiff]

That face tho

I feel like I've seen this series before

[whole berry]

Hero marries the sage

[slender skiff]

Lorraine pls they're just books

[whole berry]

Also ender the reason why you feel like you've seen it before is because i showed it to you before

[cedar furnace]

Towa is so damn adorable

[whole berry]

@boreal oyster wake tf up welcome home papa just got a new update

[slender skiff]

Oh

Kekw

[thorn briar]

I thought u meant not mike as your father

[slender skiff]

[cedar furnace]

I still stand by this btw

[zinc lance]

? so there are news from dad who went to buy milk?

[cedar furnace]

welp that happened

i dont usually talk about stuff like this (even in other servers) but one thing I've learned from my time in the star wars community is that VAs deserve respect for the hard work that they put in. Same goes for anime whether it's dub or sub

Also there's a sheer level of irony here cuz the charater in the show got harassed or something like that (I haven't watched it)

[slender skiff]

The irony is unreal

Of all the characters

It's the one that indeed got harassed to the point she almost unalived herself

Talk about failing to see the message

[cedar furnace]

agreed

[cedar furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/irony-gif-5136634

[thorn briar]

[slender skiff]

Lmfao

[zinc lance]

Ender fix the Aqua timeline, it looks wrong

[slender skiff]

Realistically

Hers would be a flat line between Ainz and Cid

[trim swan]

I like how it's funny yet accurate

[echo quiver]

dang. that door anime has a nice soundtrack

i think it's the door anime anyway

the one with the fortnite map

[slender skiff]

It is the door movie

[cedar furnace]

Backwards arrows?

[slender skiff]

I mean

Cos of Subaru's time travelling

Or rather resetting

So that's why the arrows go backwards

[cedar furnace]

And the bar is just non existent

[solemn pollen]

What would Tanya be like?

[slender skiff]

Not sure frankly

I remember little of Tanya since I watched it a good 5 years ago

But from the little I do remember

I don't think it fluctuates all that much?

It probably is gonna be similar to kazuma, but starting from a higher place

Most of Tanya is smarts as opposed to strength imo

[solemn pollen]

[slender skiff]

Not that she's weak

She's just more bren than brawn

[solemn pollen]

True

[slender skiff]

Ainz has both

At least in terms of game knowledge

He's very poorly educated otherwise

[cedar furnace]

Ender what do these funny words mean?

[thorn briar]

I'm thinking of rewatching conan

I felt lost after I caught up , so yeah I will start from the arc where kir was in the hospital with the fbi

I don't remember which episode is this

[quaint patrol]

her power is in her battalion

and basically the entire series, every single member is an ace

[weak glacier]

Is this a graph of stock price volatility?

I can relate to Aqua on a spirtual level

[slender skiff]

Which words are you referring to lmao

[cedar furnace]

Yes

[cedar furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/not-stonks-profit-down-sad-frown-arms-crossed-gif-15684535

[slender skiff]

Tankobon is basically the compilation

Of a certain number of the weekly/monthly releases

Into a single book

[cedar furnace]

Mhm mhm

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-star-noted-notes-gif-26231953

[slender skiff]

Magazine doesn't really matter

[weak glacier]

English tankobans take forever

[thorn briar]

It's ep 400 and something

[slender skiff]

Just tells you what magazine lol

[weak glacier]

They just got around to releasing bocchi english translations

[slender skiff]

As for shonen/shounen demographic
I explained before
Targetted towards male youth

[weak glacier]

*horny men

[quaint patrol]

i actually havent followed many shonen

[weak glacier]

Shonen is like the "I Can't Believe It Isn't Butter" energy type

[quaint patrol]

immoral guild's latest chapters are shonen

[thorn briar]

I changed my mind I will rewatch conan , but from where akai appeared as subaru

[cedar furnace]

So I'm their target demographic

[quaint patrol]

what are the new shonen

are jjk and demon slayer shonen?

[weak glacier]

good fucking lord

Genshin still more download

[slender skiff]

Demon Slayer doesn't count as new

[weak glacier]

demon slayer

more like

dumb slayer

[cedar furnace]

Genshit

[cedar furnace]

Ok got it

[cedar furnace]

Wait didn't you say that all shounens get dubbed?

[quaint patrol]

nice writing

[thorn briar]

Wtf

I never expected this

[slender skiff]

Lol no

More likely to

[cedar furnace]

Oh

So like a 75%

Sorry I'm a Historian math isn't my strong suit

[weak glacier]

what history do you specialize in?

[cedar furnace]

Mainly ww2 but also ww1 and the war of 1812

I just like learning about the past in order to help improve the future

[weak glacier]

ww2 is low hanging fruit nowadays lol

What theater of WW2?

[cedar furnace]

All of them

[cedar furnace]

Yet a lot of people still don't know about the minor allied and axis powers

[weak glacier]

tbh only italy, india, and china are mostly forgotten

I tend to separate China's civil war from WW2

[cedar furnace]

Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia, Iraq, Vichy France, Thailand

Just to name a few

[slender skiff]

The Italian theatre was something the allies would like to forget

Everything from Sicily to beyond was a mess

[weak glacier]

Mostly the Eastern front just gets lumped into Russian campaign

[slender skiff]

Also, didn't Thailand choose to capitulate rather than be fight

[cedar furnace]

It's a bit of a long story

They initially fought japan, then made an alliance, helped japan in the Burma campaign, then in 1944 the government was overthrown

Free Thai movement

[weak glacier]

Burma campaign fucked India too

[cedar furnace]

They also got into a mini war with vichy france in which a large portion of their navy got destroyed

[cedar furnace]

Because it wasn't the soft underbelly of Europe

[weak glacier]

Italy was kind of a side quest

[slender skiff]

It was the hard one ye

[weak glacier]

The main focus was keeping Germany away from the UK

[cedar furnace]

Also nobody talks about the italian winter offensive

It was the italian version of the battle of the budge which caught the American 5th army completely by surprise

[weak glacier]

Honestly

The whole European Theater to America wasn't as crucial as the Pacific Theater was

It wasn't ultimately Europe that got America involved despite the British petitioning Congress to join

In fact, it was viewed unfavorably

[cedar furnace]

That was because japan attacked America

[weak glacier]

Pacific Theater was personal

European campaign was helping a mutual friend

And the fact that the British had the audacity to ask for part of Japan

[cedar furnace]

Still this was very impressive
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Garfagnana

For italy at least

[weak glacier]

hmm

I often forget how important San Francisco is to Asian culture

The fact that Xi Jinping even flew there

Even Treaty of San Francisco

[whole berry]

NEXT UPDATE IS ON DECEMBER 25 NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[quaint patrol]

who's the author

who writes girls like that

[whole berry]

Semimaru

[weak glacier]

this looks familar

[whole berry]

I'm actually sacred of the mother

She has the death flag

Also the author made the perfect girlfriend manga

[weak glacier]

What manga is this?

[whole berry]

Welcome home papa

[weak glacier]

lmao

ok the premise is cringe

[whole berry]

Welcome Home Papa manga, A high school girl is trying to get obsessively close to her kind stepdad. Even going as far as watching him in bed with her mom

[weak glacier]

Yeah I read that

[signal grotto]

this manga is really good btw

[weak glacier]

Already read

[weak glacier]

[echo quiver]

i just assumed she was really good with knives

[signal grotto]

she's nayuta's babysitter in part 2

[echo quiver]

yknow, in hindsight

shouldn't tax devil or homework devil be just as strong as gun devil

or knife devil

i hear knives are scarier than guns

[weak glacier]

How about your neighbor?

[echo quiver]

i dont even know who my neighbor is

think they got a cat tho

[weak glacier]

Fly man

[dry moon]

She’s so cute

i havent kept updated since then

[slender skiff]

Aliens also apparently exist in kanokari

Canonically

[quaint patrol]

they do in takagi san as well

[slender skiff]

I mean

Dude literally has an lgm accompanying him

Everywhere

And NO ONE points it out

[quaint patrol]

what's that?

the lgm

[slender skiff]

Little grey man

It's a specific kind of alien

[quaint patrol]

oh those

a little like the boomers in mieruko san but more classic alien right

[slender skiff]

Yeah

They're the "classic" alien

Speaking of aliens

I found this saved

[dry moon]

As I read the manga I’m starting to see why people find frieren cute

Still a little confusing though

[dry moon]

LMAO

the illusion guy that never attended the thing just sitting there sipping tea was hilarious

[cedar furnace]

I heard that the mc's English VA is a big fan of the mango

[ivory mauve]

Classi maid sama

[slender skiff]

Oh good someone that recognises it

[signal grotto]

fujimoto sensei from chainsaw man also an masochist too

[silver robin]

I recognize it now after he said it

[slender skiff]

Sam please

[silver robin]

its been a hot minute

Plus i didn't read the manga

[slender skiff]

You disappoint me

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

I'm 99% sure that scene is in the anime

[silver robin]

probably is

but it's hard to recognize the backs of characters you haven't seen in 5 years ok

[slender skiff]

Dude their faces are literally at the side

[silver robin]

I didn't see that

rip me

[boreal oyster]

||idk, people said the star stream were created by jaehwan||

[stable herald]

Oh yeah, someone in the comment said the same thing, ||orv's constellation concept was taken from WATF||

Its just that ofc, in ORV its "constellations" as a nickname for the gods

But in watf its straight out Gods

[whole berry]

100 doors isekai manga?

[stable herald]

Yes

[whole berry]

LETSSSS GOOOO

OUR LAST CRUSADE VOL 12 IS FINALLY HERE

[hollow finch]

[thorn briar]

Louis

[cedar furnace]

is that a nun with a gun

[slender skiff]

I mean
Does the anime even adapt everything

[weak glacier]

Y'all heard about a that bleach reference dropped in Young Thug's criminal trial?

[hollow finch]

cuz i remember qe sent skk into a coma or something

[slender skiff]

I mean

Yes that's the entire premise of queen's order

He only wakes up at the end of the manga

Which is like 150 chaps?

[hollow finch]

he woke up?

[slender skiff]

Oh no it's 220 chapters

[hollow finch]

in manga?

[slender skiff]

Yes

Ofc lmao

[weak glacier]

Whoops

trying to find that video

It's only on tiktok

trying to find a youtube mirror

https://twitter.com/buried2x_/status/1729600187868250292

I have to settle for twitter ig

People making a big deal out of it, but it's inconsequential

[slim rain]

is it just me or does every manhwa look entirely identical

also the characters be like

Skinny tall dude with short black hair and cool expression

[flat cedar]

Alot of anime original content this episode of Shadow.

Like more than half the episode

[flat cedar]

Ngl

Kinda hate that we're ending on Orianna kingdom

Arugably one of the weakest arcs

With one of the most annoying characters

that should have never even joined shadow's ranks

[stable herald]

Only manhwa?

Please mate, even mc's in mangas too

Not only Isekai, even in romcom sometimes

[slender skiff]

Anime in general

[grim pebble]

(They hate industrialization)

[weak glacier]

@slender skiff

[slender skiff]

Geezus Christ

190x

Even for me, the most I get is what, 40?

[weak glacier]

liek if u cri evrytiem

[slender skiff]

Don't Say Lazy

Good shit

[weak glacier]

I am a 1 percenter of the 1 percenter

[stable herald]

Cuz know whats funny....MC's hairstyle is the most normal and logical

Comparing to other characters

But ofc, people sees it as generic and overused

[silver robin]

My Spotify wrapped is all bollywood since i share it with my mom

[weak glacier]

[weak glacier]

Show us

[weak glacier]

She plays that around the house?

[silver robin]

also when shes driving etc.

[weak glacier]

oof

[silver robin]

or when shes just listening on her own time

I dont use Spotify that much

[weak glacier]

My mom listens to funk

"funk"

As in disco

[silver robin]

(i am indian if you couldn't tell)

[weak glacier]

I don't know man

You might be Canadian

[silver robin]

i could be

but i am of indian origin

[weak glacier]

lol

I'm just your average white guy

[silver robin]

Fun fact fiji has a sizable indian population with their own dialect of hindi

i could be there for all you know

[weak glacier]

My boss is pakistani and he plays a lot of pakistani music

[silver robin]

[weak glacier]

You wouldn't need anime if you lived in fiji

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

I don't use Spotify so there's nothing to show

[weak glacier]

Youtube?

Or just don't listen to music

[slender skiff]

YouTube yeah

[weak glacier]

I workout a lot so I use spotify

[silver robin]

I use Spotify too when i work out except when my mom is coincidentally using it

then i let her use it and instead use my offline library

.mp3 files ftw

[weak glacier]

When that Nights of Nights and Bad Apple hits when you on a run

I don't play tohou so idk what's going on

I read his full interview

And uh...

To sum it up, he doesn't care about the world

[stable herald]

Damn, I thought ur european

guess ur not gay then

[stable herald]

I workout while using yt as music

Idk, too lazy with spotify, cuz most of the musics is alr in youtube

Lazy to re-search them again

[weak glacier]

seems about right

[stable herald]

Mann Im soo bored

imma watch Man of Steel

OH WAIT

That new superman series

with tomboy lois

[weak glacier]

woke

ngl I might watch that

[stable herald]

EXCUSE ME

HOly shit hes russian

[weak glacier]

That is literally the antithesis of superman

[stable herald]

HOLY SHIT HE GOT THE RUSSIAN ACCENT LMAO

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0s0FJfyqGk

[weak glacier]

Timing is supsicious

interesting take

It was published back in 2003

👀

Comics are fun that way

[stable herald]

Mfker, why is he throwing russian tank itself. That looks like a T44

[weak glacier]

You'll never see this in anime

Thinking about getting those EC Comics

[stable herald]

Well shit, we can say that, this is a propaganda cartoon, like in the old days with looney tunes

[weak glacier]

Look at this immaculate covers

I want the weird science ones

[stable herald]

Goddamn

Nostalgic

My dad has alot of these comics

Oh soo basically its an alternate universe, where the heroes are based on nations

uhuh....

[weak glacier]

wtf oshi no ko music playing

https://tenor.com/view/fastforward-remote-speed-up-go-forward-skip-gif-5354926

[stable herald]

HOly shit

THe Red Son is actually a good one

got quite the review

[weak glacier]

[stable herald]

Shit...Now idk whether i'll watch adventure with superman or slav superman

[weak glacier]

Superwoman

[stable herald]

U meant that the flash movie?

Like goddamn, thats the hottest supergirl I've seen in dc adaptation

Even better than in the flash series

[weak glacier]

And who says western comics can't be sexy

👀

[stable herald]

Ngl tho....Supergirl is hella cute, but i preferred Power Girl

cuz uhh..shorthair

and in the comic, damn shes much more badass

Tho, I dont remember in any animated series where they did her justice, shes always like a side character

[weak glacier]

idk man

I like... Punchline

[stable herald]

You just like a women that can easily break you apart huh

[weak glacier]

Y'all gonna kill me for that

[weak glacier]

I want a woman that can fight

[stable herald]

Nahh, not a batman fanboy

issokay, I like her character tho

Its like...a 180 between her real self and that self

[weak glacier]

Funny enough

People upset over her

idk why they classify mr freeze as a villian

Batgirl story makes me cry

And they say comics can't have sexy characters

[stable herald]

Mr Freeze's story with his wife is damn...kokoro ittai

[stable herald]

Zoomers...I watched DC more than marvels when I was a kid, they always got consistent and variety of animated adaptation

[weak glacier]

Comics kinda waned in popularity

I predict manga is gonna suffer the same fate

[stable herald]

yeah

Each generations have that...weak of a long term attention, cant help it

[weak glacier]

Manga suffers same issues as comics... a lot of stale bread

I'm sure once we get older, we will still be selling MHA, One Piece, AoT, and Demon Slayer merch in the US

[slender skiff]

Depends on the definition of older really

Next 5 years? Certainly

[weak glacier]

20 years, 30 years

[slender skiff]

Yeah nah

I doubt

Not all of those series at least

[weak glacier]

We still selling Robotech merch

DBZ still making bank even after it's height of popularity

If it's toei, I'm sure they'll keep milking it

[slender skiff]

Mha especially

One piece I can believe

AoT I can believe

Demon Slayer I'm less willing to bet on

[weak glacier]

Generational defining anime tbh

My thing is

If it selling in walmart, then it's probably gonna be sold for a long time

[slender skiff]

I mean

That assumes people still buy things from Walmart

[weak glacier]

plenty of people

[slender skiff]

And not

Steal instead

[weak glacier]

Still waiting for Japanese animation companies trying to grasp the concept of generational viewers

Like star wars

[slender skiff]

Eh

I'm waiting for them to understand the concept of healthy work practices

[weak glacier]

Quick money - make it horny, long term big bucks - sell it to children and keep selling until they grow older

[slender skiff]

And not forcing their animators to slave away a la jjk

...that said

The US isn't much better either

Instead of animators, it's the writers that suffer

[weak glacier]

Gundam et al are the only ones I can really see building generational audiences

Like Sailor Moon, Gundam, etc

Maybe one piece?

[silver robin]

even us animation is pain

and us voice acting is pain although its getting better

*in terms of healthy workplace and fair wages

[weak glacier]

The inbetweens are usually outsourced iirc

For like cartoons

But like animations for movies n such aren't

I think toei was outsourced for a lot of the animation for GI joe n such

[slender skiff]

Btw @somber relic
Just finished unwanted undead adventurer vol 8

Boi, that was a fucking doozy

It really took a while

But now it's cooking

[neat pelican]

You're forgetting about getting kicked too

[dry moon]

The fuck

Talk about tumors

[silver robin]

@slender skiff

[boreal oyster]

fern stop self projecting

[dry moon]

Frieren left off on a cliffhanger

Goddammit

What to read now

[boreal oyster]

martial peak

[dry moon]

What

[boreal oyster]

it has 3627 chaps

[quaint patrol]

yeah they got me into it as well

but they got me into the manhua

not the WN

[slender skiff]

Well it does actually
But not what I meant

I meant figuratively

[slender skiff]

Dunno tbh

I haven't tried Korean WNs

[dry moon]

Sorry?

[slender skiff]

Incidentally this is mine, but for monthly listens

...I need to watch Ousama Ranking again at some point

[weak glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/blank-stare-gif-12945843696836467887

You know what I'm about to say

You ruined with yoasabi, then you hit me with the queendom

You want me to hate you or like you?

[silver robin]

oh you use this app too

i use it on my android

[slender skiff]

That's not Oshi no Ko tho

That's Hero

[weak glacier]

I will not support any of that collaboraters

Oshi no Ko is a terrorist organization posed to overthrow the Japanese judicial system

[slender skiff]

From Frieren

Lmao

I'd say that Mirai Nikki was an actual attempt

To incorporate western media into anime

[weak glacier]

Go on

You know that tactic doesn't work on me

Cause you know I'm a cartoon apologist

[slender skiff]

No I am serious

Consider what death game was popular in 2013

[weak glacier]

Hunger Games?

[slender skiff]

Aye

[weak glacier]

don't mate me feel old

[slender skiff]

That's definitely part of the reason why it was made

[slender skiff]

You say that but didn't they literally just release a new film

[weak glacier]

People still watch that shit?

I mean...

Harry Potter demographic at least in their 20s now

[slender skiff]

Harry Potter demographic would be in their 30s

[weak glacier]

yeah that's more right

DBZ fans are in their 40s by now

I don't think I meet a Star Trek fan under the age of 50

If you want to feel young, go to to a corvette meet

[silver robin]

and its making (some) money too

surprisingly

[slender skiff]

Is it a surprise

I mean they're hints for another one already

[silver robin]

can confirm, occassionally my local high school hosts car shows of old cars and me and lil bro are some of the youngest people there

[silver robin]

yes cause look at how many movies with budget over 200 mil usd flopped

(a lot of them did)

plus the reviews aren't that amazing

[slender skiff]

Nostalgia

[silver robin]

Why did the new indiana jones movie flop then

[slender skiff]

Wasn't crystal skull like 15 years ago

Or did I miss a new one

[cedar furnace]

And star wars fans have a wide range of ages

[cedar furnace]

Mismanagement, feminism and KK making a self insert character

[silver robin]

dial of destiny

[slender skiff]

Yeah I didn't even see it

Let the man retire at this point

On a side note

@quaint patrol
Everytime I hear Platinum Disco
Instead of visualising Tsukihi, I now visualise a certain book loving gremlin
Should I be concerned

[quaint patrol]

what did u even just say to me

platinum disco and tsukihi

ok

idk, i vowed off the anime content for bookworm

[slender skiff]

Same VA

[ivory mauve]

@stable herald oi wtf is going on!!!!!

[somber relic]

I thought you already dropped it

[slender skiff]

I decided to push thru

It's just slow

It takes a good while to get going

To cook, to speak

Like somehow ||Isaac and Laura being vampires is the least surprising thing||

Volume 7 already showed that his hometown wasn't quite as ordinary as he anticipated

And then volume 8 just straight up has them return to a ||vampire attack||
One that leads ||Rina to become a vampire herself||

[silver robin]

https://vxtwitter.com/Josu_ke/status/1729971433575502203 holy

[slender skiff]

Geezus fucking Christ

That's an insane number

But then again

I suppose it's because almost no one had heard of the series

[silver robin]

also it appeals to all demographics of people unlike LNs which are mostly shonen

also blue lock with a spinoff making the top cut is insane too xd

[slender skiff]

I tried to sell the series to my mom

Since she's into historical-inspired dramas

It did not work

[solid nebula]

MY HAPPY MARRIAGE SWEEEEP

[slender skiff]

That said

Roshidere numbers are probably gonna sky rocket next year

If tenshi went up this much with the anime
Roshidere is gonna explode

[quaint patrol]

if the animation matches either the manga or LN quality

it will be a top anime

[silver robin]

Its doga kobo

and based on their recent track record with shikimori and saint cecelia and oshi no ko i think it will be fine

[somber relic]

saint cecilia anime adaptation was bad though

Shikimori adapation was subpar as well

what are you talking about

[silver robin]

I thought it was fine

[somber relic]

lol

[silver robin]

what's wrong with saint cecelia

[somber relic]

they are not using same character designer illustration in Otonari Tenshi anime

they are not even trying to make the char design close with the manga

[quaint patrol]

oshi no ko is stellar adaptation

[somber relic]

it was so bad

[quaint patrol]

idk if these other hit

[silver robin]

the character designer is different between them

The connection

[somber relic]

aside that, overall it was meh

[silver robin]

Is that manga artist for both is same

[quaint patrol]

shikimori isnt very adaptable either

[silver robin]

but tenshi was always ln first anyways so

[quaint patrol]

roshidere is stellar as manga format

i trust in anime

[somber relic]

exactly why Cecilia anime was worse

[quaint patrol]

I imagine many complaints about bad russian though

[silver robin]

its sumire uesuka so it cant be that bad

[somber relic]

Cecilia anime's char design art was slightly better than Otome Mob anime, and that's not a compliment

[silver robin]

it was perfectly fine

[quaint patrol]

otome mob's queen in anime was so tragic

[silver robin]

you are literally trippin

cad look them both up and tell me hes trolling

[quaint patrol]

i watched like 2 minutesof saimt cecilia anime so idk

[silver robin]

[thorn briar]

How to send a link from twitter and let it appear

[quaint patrol]

type vx

[silver robin]

replace the "twitter.com" or "x.com" part of the link with "fxtwitter.com" or "vxtwitter.com"

[quaint patrol]

in front of twitter in the link

[silver robin]

and leave everything else the same

[quaint patrol]

fx too?

[silver robin]

either work

i prefer vx but

[thorn briar]

vx direct you to something else , not the link you post

[silver robin]

try fx then idk

[thorn briar]

I tried it once

[silver robin]

[thorn briar]

It worked, thanks

[slender skiff]

Even the LN art is amazing tbh

[quaint patrol]

oh the LN art is amazing

but the writing is not

i mean

it translates better as manga panelling

[slender skiff]

The series is hard carried by Yuki

Let's be honest

[quaint patrol]

she moves the entire story at least

literally the fakechildhoodfriend/brocon/imouto/antagonist in one

she doesnt feel real tho

[slender skiff]

Oh she absolutely doesn't

She's too gremlin like to be a real sis

The most real sis in anime

As I've said before

Is Komachi in Oregairu

[somber relic]

they are simply lucky they landed on good artist

most manga adaptation based on LN nowadays have dogwater art

[quaint patrol]

i usually think the other way

the manga art saves the dogshit story of these wn or ln

[somber relic]

also most manga adaptation nowadays are basically field experimentation for hentai artist who trying to dived into proper manga world

[slender skiff]

I agree with Haru here

Most LN->Manga adaptations have real poor art

Besides Roshidere

Tensura manga has the edge cos the LN art is horrendous

[quaint patrol]

the LN art feels like a meme

like the author's letting his bro draw

[slender skiff]

Mushoku is fine for both
Nothing too stellar admittedly

[quaint patrol]

the LN7 mushoku spinoff art is amazing

the main series and LN art are whatever

[slender skiff]

Sara needs more love

[quaint patrol]

she got that in depression spinoff

[slender skiff]

Speaking of depression

Oh boy Oshi no Ko latest chapter

Why oh why Kana

Do you think self destructing is the best way

[quaint patrol]

i feel like ruby's too perceptive for just kana though?

im not sure it'll turn out that bad

[slender skiff]

Oh wait
She learnt from Aqua

Silly me

[quaint patrol]

i feel like ruby's gonna tease kana over that moment

[slender skiff]

Oh absolutely

[quaint patrol]

with a fake broken heart

[slender skiff]

Then again

[somber relic]

though I think I understand what Cad trying to say before, horrible LN/WN somehow is more readable in manga format, and that's also applied to novel which receive anime adaptation as well

[slender skiff]

We've always known that Kana is the jealous type so

[slender skiff]

Well it depends really

Some series benefit more from the manga format

Some... Don't

I always point out NGNL

[quaint patrol]

i've not often read manga where I thought the novel was better

[slender skiff]

As the prime example of

LN sucks

[somber relic]

of course duh, for example I just finished Summer Time Rendering anime yesterday and I'm gonna said that the anime was actually much better than the manga, the pacing is more solid, and the action also really good in the anime format

and remember that we talked about Fate Zero here before

[quaint patrol]

mushoku tensei's novels are 10x better than its manga

[slender skiff]

Hmm

Let me think

[somber relic]

F/Z anime was better than the novel

[quaint patrol]

yea it was unreadable

[somber relic]

there is No Game No Life as well

[quaint patrol]

i couldnt bear to start it

[slender skiff]

Most of the time I do think LN is better actually

most

[quaint patrol]

than what

[slender skiff]

Than manga

Kusuriya is one of the rare cases where I feel that the manga has exceeded the LN

[quaint patrol]

werent you the person that liked magirevo novels too

[slender skiff]

I do think I gave them too much credit in hindsight

But my issue with some manga adaptations is that

The art is just... So bad

[quaint patrol]

it's probably how i find manga that's the difference here

[slender skiff]

Realist Hero still has quite a pleasant, albeit unique manga artstyle

Well, that or you take the Saberfaces of the LN

Bookworm LN is absolutely better

[somber relic]

unique? you mean almost every women there have tits with H-Cup size and you called them as unique?

[quaint patrol]

well the bookworm manga is also not bad

[slender skiff]

I was talking about the faces

[quaint patrol]

the manga is actually quite good

[slender skiff]

As opposed to the tits

[quaint patrol]

oh

[slender skiff]

[quaint patrol]

well there's like two tits in bookworm

[slender skiff]

Haru pls

[quaint patrol]

gretia's

[slender skiff]

Poor gretia

[quaint patrol]

and like ultrarare and late rozemyne art

[slender skiff]

Tuuli allegedly still has bigger ones

[somber relic]

you don't know how much I despise Realise Hero manga's art

[slender skiff]

According to Roze

I mean

Some people prefer that

Idk I prefer the LN art

Even if it's more uh

Fate-esque

[quaint patrol]

i actually enjoy tensei's LN art as cozy vibes but

as an extremely popular series right

it's so dog

[slender skiff]

Tensei?

Or tenshi

[quaint patrol]

tensura

[slender skiff]

Ah

Tensei just means reincarnation

So uh

[quaint patrol]

yea mb

[somber relic]

Tenshi mean angel

[slender skiff]

Also wait tensura's LN?

[quaint patrol]

slime's LN

fk this

[slender skiff]

Didn't you just say
