anime-manga

[somber relic]

fews were doing this, and then straight out got their entire work cancelled

you never heard of Nidome no Jinsei incident before?

[somber relic]

and no it wasn't cancelled by twitter user, but by the Nation itself

but well touching old wound from past historical Japan-Korea-China conflict already bear too much risk so they basically reap what they sow

uhum

have a question. A while ago, my mother heard that the Gintama animation film was a big hit, and commented that “(Hideaki Sorachi) must be living at [luxury highrise] Roppongi Hills since it’s so popular”. Is that true?

A:
To tell the naked truth, regardless of how many people watch the film or how much the gross earnings are, not a single yen goes to the author. We are only paid an upfront license fee. The amount we’re paid is peanuts in comparison to the overall box office gross. The majority of the profits go to filthy unscrupulous companies such as Shueisha and Sunrise. Releasing individual manga volumes is way more profitable.

this interview also posted in animenewsnetwork as well

[slender skiff]

Coming from Gintama mangaka

Yikes

[somber relic]

capitalism baby

most mangaka also pretty much broke because of this as well

unless your series got big hit (which is really hard)

Demon Slayer's author was really lucky because the anime boost their manga selling so hard it basically beat every title including One Piece at that time

dude used his entire worth of luck in his life

[slender skiff]

And the mangaka was smart? enough to cut their series off before it could die down

[somber relic]

yes

[slender skiff]

On a side note just finished the first episode of kagejitsuryoku

What the fuck

[quaint patrol]

how is that smart?

[slender skiff]

He cut his losses basically

[quaint patrol]

what's he losing to keep making the series

i dont get it

[slender skiff]

Look at how many big manga drag on only to flop

[somber relic]

^

[quaint patrol]

i mean they flop story wise

[somber relic]

majority long serialization manga I read somehow went downhill

[slender skiff]

Aot's legacy is partly ruined by its ending lmao

[somber relic]

AoT's plot pretty much already ruined with the entire Marleyan's arc

[quaint patrol]

wasnt that entire thing planned out tho

[slender skiff]

Hard to say for sure

Unless he built that up from the very beginning

[somber relic]

the ending? sure. the execution? really doubted that

[slender skiff]

But I think you'll be hard pressed to find people that actually like the ending

[quaint patrol]

the only thing i know about the anime ending compared to the manga ending

is jean cucking eren memes

[slender skiff]

It's not a great ending either way

[somber relic]

also flop here mean the story gotten so much worse than before

at least Demon Slayer kinda saved from that

[slender skiff]

For one, sleep

But in all seriousness

[whole berry]

You find them by watching code Geass R2

[slender skiff]

KnY was able to maintain a legacy

[whole berry]

They swarm the comments

[quaint patrol]

if that's the term then it's widespread yes

[slender skiff]

Because its ending was

Well, I wouldn't say it's excellent

But it's good enough

So that it doesn't ruin people's memories

[somber relic]

Bleach's TYBW manga arc saved by the anime adaptation

TYBW was legitly the worst arc in Bleach and lot of manga reader agree with this

[slender skiff]

MHA also went further into shit the longer it went on for

Sorry, goes on for

And even Kaguya had a relatively weak final manga arc

[quaint patrol]

ive never read the bleach manga but

[slender skiff]

[quaint patrol]

tybw anime had ichigo appear for like 5 minutes for the season

[somber relic]

I guess you need to wait for another season then lul

[slender skiff]

But sorry can I just ask
What the fuck was that first ep of kagejitsuryoku I just watched

[quaint patrol]

you were complaining fanservice earlier?

[slender skiff]

Was that whole thing a prologue

Not the fanservice part

Just the whole first ep up till he gets isekaied

[boreal oyster]

[slender skiff]

That was a ridiculously action packed first episode

Is that in the LN/manga or is that anime original

Can't tell tbh

I mean the whole kidnapping-rescue sequence

[silver robin]

Its in volume 4 of ln

[slender skiff]

[silver robin]

as like a prologue to the isekai arc after the oriana arc

[slender skiff]

So the production team took some liberties then

[silver robin]

Cause minor spoiler but cid comes back to actual irl earth

in one of the arcs

And meets up with that girl

[slender skiff]

Bakana

I mean she does seem way too developed to be a one-off character

[silver robin]

Obviously his identity is concealed

but shenanigans ensue

and that girl does play role even after the isekai arc

so yes she's not a minor one off

[slender skiff]

So from my initial impression

[silver robin]

But the anime doesnt do a good job of explaining that

[slender skiff]

He's not just a chuuni I assume

[silver robin]

well

thats for you to decide later

[slender skiff]

Keyword is just

Cos he's absolutely a chuuni

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

Have to give props though

I think it was a good choice to adapt that portion first

[silver robin]

If you want another minor spoiler ||beta kidnaps her and brings her back to the eminence world as a "pet?" its not fully explained but she is kidnapped and vol 4 ends immediately after so idk what happens after lol||

well its not really minor

But its not major

Medium spoiler?

[slender skiff]

Lmao

Isn't delta enough for a pet

[silver robin]

delta is cids pet

[slender skiff]

Ah right

Delta is stronger than everyone else besides Cid and Alpha...

[silver robin]

Also cid doesnt know about this lol

At least not yet

maybe he will find out in the vol 5 prologue when he is lamenting but idk

[slender skiff]

Isn't Eminence 5 out in english already

[thorn briar]

Sometimes I wonder if some conan fans watch the anime or read the manga for real

Cause like some of them really hates haibara and say that she's useless and being a 3rd part on conan and ran's love

And yes haibara's haters are shinran shippers

[silver robin]

Idk maybe

[thorn briar]

Without haibara alot of things in the story wouldn't have happened

[slender skiff]

That's just shipping wars in general shiro

[silver robin]

Can u check on my behalf plz thanks

[slender skiff]

Eminence 6 is out since mid Nov

At least fan TLs

[silver robin]

I want physical book

[slender skiff]

Official Eminence 5 was out in early Oct

[silver robin]

[thorn briar]

But , not to the point of cursing at haibara's fans

[silver robin]

Physical?

[slender skiff]

Does that answer your question Sam?

Idk

I don't care about physical

[silver robin]

I'll check then one sec

[slender skiff]

YP says yes

Wait no

That's manga

[thorn briar]

Then again shipping wars isn't supposed to happen in conan

[slender skiff]

Oh rip

Sorry Sam it's Fan TLs

YP slacking hard

Like real hard

[silver robin]

[thorn briar]

I posted the same picture twice

[slender skiff]

Gremlin strikes again

[silver robin]

Delete it then

You can delete individual images

[thorn briar]

I will

[silver robin]

[thorn briar]

How

[silver robin]

On desktop

If u hover over image

Theres a trash can icon

Maybe ender can do it for you since he is red man

[thorn briar]

I only have discord on my phone

[slender skiff]

I'm at work

[thorn briar]

I will delete it then

[slender skiff]

I don't have a laptop with discord on me

[silver robin]

rip

[faint crag]

I've no idea what sam is about

[weak glacier]

now I have to move 70 pounds worth of manga

[faint crag]

you can only delete entire message, not individual images

[slender skiff]

Actually yeah can't you only delete if it's individually posted

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

Back to frosty flexing hours I see

Cad...

[quaint patrol]

there's nothign

[thorn briar]

[slender skiff]

...is that a Bofuri reference I see?

[thorn briar]

Is this really a person

[slender skiff]

Ah yes... 100 kano had a character like that

If she at some point becomes one of the 100

I will eat another shoe

[thorn briar]

Her hair looks like a plate or a ufo

[quaint patrol]

but she's already stared rentarou down right?

[slender skiff]

That she has

...I think

I wouldn't put it past the author of a gag manga though...

[quaint patrol]

rentarou already has enough mothers tho

[quaint patrol]

kusuri pilled probably

[slender skiff]

Exactly

[quaint patrol]

well no

hahari mama was appreciated even at her age

so it doesnt fit rentarou

therefore we're safe

[slender skiff]

Well

Cad

My concern is

Things change uwu

[quaint patrol]

nooo

[slender skiff]

Again

This is a gag manga

ANYTHING can happen

Dude breaks the 4th wall on the regular as is

[silver robin]

Yes

Also you probably aren't na but if you are on na friend me

[slender skiff]

I'm not on NA

[silver robin]

rip

[slender skiff]

However did you guess

[silver robin]

I hit level 70 last week finally

[slender skiff]

Glad to have Jingliu ngl

[silver robin]

Yes same

Blast broken

[quaint patrol]

are the fights skillful

cos i can join genshi now

[slender skiff]

This is star rail

[quaint patrol]

o

[slender skiff]

Imo this one is much easier to get into

Since it's a "turn based" rpg

[quaint patrol]

sounds lamer

[slender skiff]

As opposed to a open world hack and slash

[quaint patrol]

i liked turnbased games too long ago

[slender skiff]

The entry level is lower

But the skill ceiling is just as high

[quaint patrol]

what happened to the complaints about genshin lategame being too easy

[slender skiff]

They've been made to eat dirt unless you're a whale

Or a try hard

[quaint patrol]

ouh sounds good

[stable herald]

Yes

Did u read this clusterfuck of a manga?

This manga, is the embodiment of classic degeneracy itself

[flat cedar]

yes

[ivory mauve]

Can't wait until the curse is broken

[slender skiff]

I mean I say it's turn based
But you can fuck with the turn order so...

[stable herald]

Shes gonna be a beauty

[ivory mauve]

Honestly the people who don't know about the curse she have will attack her because they'll think she did something to the Princess

Or should I say the populace that don't know what is actually going on

The villains are definitely going to use that to attack her

[dry moon]

Darn those villains, villaining again

[ivory mauve]

Yup

[weak glacier]

I just had an aneurysm

A guy put mushoku tensei as a 10, but keijo at 5

[silver robin]

i can see it

[weak glacier]

that's not the worse offense

Puts love live at 6, but IDOLM@STER at 10

School Days at 8

I don't know if I'm looking through a shit post or an actual opinions

Dude has a hate boner for dubs so curious of what his opinions were

Apprently, preferred South Park JP dub

I can't

The juxtaposition of these opinions is poetic

[slender skiff]

What's wrong with this?

Some people... Just don't like fanservice

[weak glacier]

Oshi no Ko was at 10

[slender skiff]

I mean frosty

You're the the minority here when it comes to hating Oshi no Ko

So

And Oshi no Ko is not even fanservice?

As for LL vs IM
That's probably more personal preference?

For school days... Hard to say
Some people say it's one of the best endings in anime lmao, whether ironically or otherwise

[weak glacier]

Despite keijo being about girls using their butts, it's very tame in comparison to your average isekai

[slender skiff]

This may shock you but...not all isekais have ecchi elements

[weak glacier]

This is the true crime

[slender skiff]

Even the average one doesn't have Keijo level of fanservice

OKAY THE SECOND ONE

[weak glacier]

Did we watch the shame show?

[slender skiff]

That one really is a crime

[weak glacier]

Doesn't like fanservice, yet lists hentai on his list

I can't

I can't show it obviously but

[slender skiff]

Also

I think the thumbnail for the first one is a bit uh

[weak glacier]

yeah let me delete that

[slender skiff]

I know it's small but it's definitely nude

[weak glacier]

but yeah you get the point

He's a hypocrite, like his takes are

[slender skiff]

The second one was downright trauma inducing for me

[weak glacier]

He can't hate fanservice

If that's his numbers 8

And keijo is 5

[slender skiff]

Perhaps he doesn't like sports anime

[faint crag]

Did you just pick some random dude and now getting mad at them not liking same shit as you do?

[slender skiff]

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

At least diss on yuni smh

Or one of our own takes

[weak glacier]

No, he said something I didn't like and now I am trying to figure out why tf he believes in that

[slender skiff]

[weak glacier]

Man says respect others decisions on what they buy, then gets upset when people watch dub

[somber relic]

yeah, since some isekai series is just straight up goes into borderline porn

so it's a wrong statement indeed

[weak glacier]

I saved a screenshot that literally epitomizes everything I criticize anime fans for

[somber relic]

[slender skiff]

It's time for that Tom Scott video already

[somber relic]

you don't know how many Isekai manga adaptation we got on mangadex that have erotica tag

[weak glacier]

You think my thoughts on Japan are insane?

[somber relic]

they are literally just porn without exposed genitalia

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/pU9sHwNKc2c?si=ad8Vq3ILNk5rpdlj

Mildly relevant

[weak glacier]

Wait until you hear this guys thoughts on america

[slender skiff]

Which end is he on

The Top Gear end or the local end

[weak glacier]

He's no hammond for sure

[slender skiff]

I meant moreso Clarkson

[weak glacier]

Closer to Jeremey I suppose

[slender skiff]

Ah

The usual takes then

[weak glacier]

He shits on America, but then uses American platforms to shit on

[somber relic]

me shitting on China while using China phone

and playing azur lane which is chinese game

[weak glacier]

seems about right

I give China grief

and then I buy a gem pack in Azur Lane

Who am I kidding

[stable herald]

Lmao

Government in a nutshell

[somber relic]

[slender skiff]

Irony so high quality you can make steel out of it

[weak glacier]

I once talked about Chinese spying use tech while using zte for a bit

[somber relic]

with Huawei router as well?

[weak glacier]

Nah, comcast

I would rather have Huawei one tbh

[somber relic]

oh yeah my wifi router is Huawei I think

CCP is spying on my discord chat atm

[weak glacier]

I don't really have anything important to steal from

Bank account? 0

Insider secrets? Only shit anime takes and speculation

Hotel? Trivago.

[slender skiff]

[weak glacier]

The Chinese spy would have to break into my room to steal anything important and he better bring a big truck with him

I given up on defending anime takes

[stable herald]

This caught me off guard

[weak glacier]

I don't even know what to say

I once told a guy that the reasoning why weebs like anime is not so much because they respect Japanese culture, it's so much because they think the west has fallen off

That if you breakdown their agruments for their hatred towards cartoons, claiming it's inferior, it's because fundamentally they think we're imperialists or some other shit

Cartoons can't have long stories! Forgets avatar, spawn (yes, it was animated), mystery inc, et al
Cartoons can't be detailed! Bro, have you seen some of those sponge bob scenes?
Cartoons can't have good action scenes! Have you realized that your slice of life anime and your "action" anime is very stagnate? Like the characters are literally standing there doing nothing have the time? Also see Tom and Jerry
and so on

For every criticism an anime fan gives to cartoons, I can also find an exception, a long list of that too

Sorry for wall posting

[slender skiff]

To be fair

SpongeBob fell off hard

Especially after the creator died

[weak glacier]

yeah, but you ever scenes where the artist flexes really hard for a gag?

[somber relic]

well yeah, there are lot more behind Japanese culture, and lot of them aren't even looks good at all

look at suicide rate in Japan combined with massive amount of declining birthrate

and social issue like hikkikomori

[weak glacier]

The problem is the grass is greener on the other side

idk how familar you are with english or ESL, basically means that people always think the other side is better

[somber relic]

and Korean got tackled by racism issue for a long time already, and only few manhwa that actually have balls to mention that issue

[weak glacier]

I used to like anime a lot when I started, but then I realize, like any show, they are also just as good as cartoons

[somber relic]

Korean got high suicide rate as well

[weak glacier]

It seemd like it was good because it was new, but then I watched a lot and realized it's about the same in terms of quality to cartoons

A lot of well written cartoon shows are kids shows

They have more profound and meaningful messages than your edgy tokyo ghoul tryhard animes

Anime fans think that in order to be profound, you have to be violent

Which if you haven't cried in the last episode in K-on, I can't even call you human

Anyways, King of the Hill hits a little close to home at times

[somber relic]

I haven't cried in last episode of K-On because I never watch it, checkmate

[weak glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/ryan-gosling-blade-runner2049-defeat-sad-disappointed-gif-17817916

I can't even watch Angel Beats again

Makes me sad even thinking about it

[somber relic]

also now seems like you are just trying to stereotyping a little bit too hard now

remember that lot of peaceful SoL and CGCDT stuff have their own loyal fans as well

[weak glacier]

I should have been specific in which type of anime fans

The "Middle School" fans

The suburban teenagers that watch movies like Watchmen and thinking that's life

Maybe it's more an American thing, idk if suburbia exists outside of North America/United Kingdom

I had like at least 6 anime fans that were trying to convince me that violence = big think

IRL

[inner sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/angel-beats-gif-22727845

[slender skiff]

Good ol angel beats

[somber relic]

and Jun Maeda never have good anime after that

[slender skiff]

He really shd have taken it easy after he fell ill

[somber relic]

heh and now he decided to fully focus on a shitty gacha game instead (HEAVEN BURN RED)

somehow it sell pretty well in Japan though, but you know Japanese with their taste

and also with their crippling gambling addiction

[gusty light]

tom and jerry with their action pack

lols

[gusty light]

it is just...

your head

pst pst... muricans did more spy ware than chinese

[gusty light]

and no, it is not about that

the main reason of why cartoons and western media fall is they forget that they have to entertain the viewers and give them the fantasy of that world first, give the soul to the story first, and preach about california current day politics later

99,9% of the stories and stuff now from the western is filled by a bunch of woke stuff, and most woke stuff didn't sell well, safe some like Barbie that somehow still sold well... but Disney slops? they failed all the time

also 99,9% of western stuffs now iirc talking down to their customers and make stories that not really great, no longer about the story... and casts must always check all the "diversity check box"

hence, Anime sold well, anime still about all of that entertainment and stories of that world first, and no preaches about this kind of woke stuff, the readers aren't being talked down every 5 panels of 5 scenes

[weak glacier]

you've literally... just proved my point

I don't even think we're watching the same show

[gusty light]

yeah, maybe, I am just pointing out what I know

[gusty light]

muybe

[weak glacier]

What have you watched in terms of cartoons in last 5 years?

[gusty light]

maybe none, but I heard some hearsays, I barely able to watch animes and cartoons both(actually both are technically cartoons, but whatevs)

[weak glacier]

I grew up watching cartoons

[gusty light]

Hmmmm... understandable...

[weak glacier]

I didn't get into anime until like late highschool

[faint crag]

You're very passionate about shittalking something you don't even watch lol

[gusty light]

I know there is a talk about this

[weak glacier]

I've read Oshi no Ko I'll have you know

[gusty light]

ouch... sorry bout that,

the 99,9% is just a hyperbole numbers that I tend to use

[quaint patrol]

were you on like 60 chapters of oshi no ko

[gusty light]

because I don't know the exact percentage

[gusty light]

holy sh-

[quaint patrol]

what?

[gusty light]

I have no strength to read that long now

[quaint patrol]

wtf?

that's short

[gusty light]

60 ch is short? hmmm... maybe I am too weak now

[weak glacier]

I forgot, but didn't past the vibe check. A lot of it didn't sit right with me

Last thing I remember was the special audiotorium

[quaint patrol]

that's like 50s range yea

40-60

[weak glacier]

I don't remember, have to go back

I'll probably revisit it at some point

I don't hate things I don't read/watch

[quaint patrol]

the tokyo ghoul arc is supposed to be one of the best

in it

i also agree with the opinion in one sense

[weak glacier]

There is something I hate more than Oshi no Ko

It was "Sing Yesterday for Me"

[faint crag]

I mean I can understand onk not being someones cup of tea
Tho being very vocal about people liking it is a bit weird

[slender skiff]

What on earth happened

[weak glacier]

I've been very quiet about my opinions on Sing Yesterday for Me, but I absolutely hate it

[quaint patrol]

it's like the final shred of aqua having character development

afterwards he's just aizen

[weak glacier]

Only reason more vocal on OnK because it's popular

[slender skiff]

Yes, extremely short lmao

[weak glacier]

Sing Yesterday for Me was actually made me threw my phone

[gusty light]

hmmm...

[weak glacier]

Point is, even I did more research than you Noob

[gusty light]

I can agree on that at least, my words are from hearsays and need to be taken with mountain pile of salt

[weak glacier]

You literally epitomize my criticisms

[quaint patrol]

"my opinions are random opinions that ive read"

[weak glacier]

Sometimes I feel like I'm pulling shit out of my ass until someone comes in confirms what I say

[slender skiff]

I mean

[gusty light]

just stating what I want to state

[slender skiff]

There's nothing wrong in having opinions but like

[gusty light]

if it is offending, I am sorry

[slender skiff]

At least have your own?

[whole berry]

Yoo res was here

[weak glacier]

I thought my whole spiel on weebs thinking "west imperialism on anime" was something I was pulling out of my ass until I starting read MAL forum posts

[slender skiff]

Res appears here every so often

[quaint patrol]

something i was wondering once is if im underrating a bunch of manga

but no they are just that bad

fuck the ratings and fuck the reviews

[weak glacier]

I guess some people are little bit too no the nose than others

[slender skiff]

In this case no, res summoned me here as I was nomming my lunch

[weak glacier]

I will probably reread OnK in a few years or so

idk

[quaint patrol]

wonder if it will finish by then

[weak glacier]

I'm sure people going to be posting retrospectives

I am going to be bold here

[quaint patrol]

depends on if onk will finish on revenge or on SoL

[weak glacier]

and say

[slender skiff]

It should

[weak glacier]

"Oshi no Ko is the Sword Art Online of this generation"

[whole berry]

Damn strong 5 year olds

[slender skiff]

It absolutely isn't

Frosty please

[weak glacier]

That's gonna be my bold prediction

[slender skiff]

Bold and quite a poor one

[quaint patrol]

as usual

[weak glacier]

Just you wait

[whole berry]

[slender skiff]

And I'll be honest here

SAO isn't as bad as a lot people say it is anyways...

[quaint patrol]

what's your guess ender?

[faint crag]

As in "The Thing people pretend to hate cos it's popular to be special"?

[weak glacier]

I guess

[slender skiff]

Given the mangaka, I genuinely have no idea where it'll go

If I had to guess, "acceptance"

[weak glacier]

That was literally my agrument

[quaint patrol]

what argument

[weak glacier]

I was gonna say everyone gonna look back on OnK as it wasn't good as everyone said it was

[quaint patrol]

if youre responding to res, that means onk is hated cos it's popular?

[weak glacier]

Just like SAO

[slender skiff]

I mean

[weak glacier]

Yeah

[slender skiff]

Who tf says SAO is good?

Lmfao

[late sonnet]

[weak glacier]

You'd be surprised

[quaint patrol]

Im a little fond of sao cos i used to watch it with my cousins

[slender skiff]

It's the same group of people that say Mirai Nikki is good

Probably

[weak glacier]

People look back on SAO with fondness

[slender skiff]

If anything

People give SAO too much shit

Lol

[weak glacier]

OnK gonna suffer the same fate

[whole berry]

I still doesn't understand why SAO is isekai

[slender skiff]

I've read my fair share of LNs

[quaint patrol]

i dont even remember anything about sao but the rape scenes

[slender skiff]

And SAO is far from being bad tbh

[quaint patrol]

and kirito being a trap temporarily

[slender skiff]

It's isekai as far as "trapped in a game"

[faint crag]

Depends how you classify isekai

[weak glacier]

People absolutely love OnK coming out and then the pedelium swings back when people start saying "it wasn't as good as we said it was" and then people collectively being fond of it

[slender skiff]

If you consider Log Horizon as isekai

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

Unfortunately that hasn't happened
What a sad day it is

😭

[quaint patrol]

frosty just borrowing every single possible reason to say onk bad

[slender skiff]

Ikr

At this point he's just trying to be contrarian

[weak glacier]

nah

[whole berry]

I tend to classify isekai as reincarnated, transfered to another world, fantasy

[slender skiff]

Silver, if you ask me

[weak glacier]

If I was contrarian, then I would say AoT is bad

[slender skiff]

The question you need to answer is

Does Log Horizon count as an isekai

[quaint patrol]

saying AoT is bad rn is bandwagon

[faint crag]

"I play for both teams so I always come out on top"

[whole berry]

Yes

[weak glacier]

If I was contrarian I would be shitting on Demon Slayer

[slender skiff]

So if Log Horizon is an isekai

[quaint patrol]

that's another bandwagon

[weak glacier]

So no

[slender skiff]

Then SAO is temporarily an isekai

[quaint patrol]

cos people forget anime production isnt just amazing story

[whole berry]

[slender skiff]

Demon Slayer is... Mid though?

At least story wise

[weak glacier]

It's alright

[whole berry]

Doesn't the log horizon world became real?

[quaint patrol]

it is, but they call the entire anime overrated cos of only story

[whole berry]

Like overlord

[slender skiff]

No

Log Horizon never specifies that much

[weak glacier]

I don't shit on everything that's popular

[whole berry]

Wait it isn't?

[slender skiff]

Overlord is transferrance to a new world for sure

[weak glacier]

Dress Up Darling was good and I was part of the bandwagon

[slender skiff]

Log Horizon is extremely vague in that regard

[quaint patrol]

frosty is pretty one teamed

[weak glacier]

I have no forgotten the slice of life anime I watch

Except for that one FUCKING show I am so unsure if I even watched it or not

[quaint patrol]

have you read 2.5d

personally, i think it hits the drama arcs way too hard for how light hearted its average is

[weak glacier]

what

oh

[quaint patrol]

2.5 dimensional seduction

[weak glacier]

I am going to read Monthly Girls Nozaki-Kun or whatever it was. Highly underrated af

[quaint patrol]

looks good but 4koma are hard to read

[slender skiff]

What we do know is
They first believe they are trapped in a game
And the evidence largely adds up
It's only people that are logged in at the time of the new update that got stuck

The issue comes from the fact that the NPCs do not behave as NPCs

And certain skills seem to do more than they should

That's the mystery of log horizon

[slender skiff]

I mean

Kiznaiver is shit

I can respect that much

[weak glacier]

Kiznaiver was good until that

infamous monologue

Trigger sucks at writing endings

I will die on that hill

[slender skiff]

I despise very few series

Kiznaiver is one of those few

[whole berry]

Either a AI like the underworld AI or weird magic stuff

[weak glacier]

Watch the one the right

It is such a waste of time

[slender skiff]

The only thing good about that series

Is the fact that Sayuri sings the ED

I think it was ED at least

[slender skiff]

It's hard to say
Especially considering the author went to prison for a bit so the series went on hiatus for a while

[weak glacier]

I honestly... don't even know if I watched this anime or not

[slender skiff]

Aaaaand
The kids
Are the most boring part of the goddamn series

[weak glacier]

Does anyone remember this show or what they did?

[slender skiff]

Mystery anime

[whole berry]

Oh hyouka

[slender skiff]

This girl is known for going

[weak glacier]

I recognize, but can't recall anything about that series

[slender skiff]

Watashi
Kininarimasu

[whole berry]

It's a mystery solving anime

[weak glacier]

To this day, I am unsure if I even watched it or not

[slender skiff]

It's less mystery of the week

Moreso mystery of the arc

[whole berry]

But others think its Romance due to FMC

[slender skiff]

So like I think there's 4-5 mysteries

And they solve them throughout the anime

That's about it

There's romantic tension
But nothing in the way of actual romance

[weak glacier]

so

they do nothing

[slender skiff]

If I had to describe it in modern terms

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

It's the ancestor to Apothecary Diaries

[whole berry]

They tend to compare hachiman and the MC

Idk why tho

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

If solving mysteries count as doing nothing, Conan would have died 20 years ago

Or 30 rather

[weak glacier]

Why on god's green earth random shows I vaguely liked a lot are now getting stuff ig

[weak glacier]

I do remember that over the announcement mystery?

And they did some CSI shit or something idk

[slender skiff]

Ah the announcement one

[weak glacier]

You know that show Psych?

[slender skiff]

Yeah then you probably did watch it lmao

[weak glacier]

I guess

My memory is so vague of it

[slender skiff]

Now if you excuse me

I want to go back to kagejitsuryoku

[weak glacier]

what is that

oh isekai

[quaint patrol]

it's eminence

I dont know how to rate it, but i wil say

[whole berry]

8/10

[quaint patrol]

im completely repulsed by it being popular, so i wont read it yet

[whole berry]

Not because of the action

But because of cid

And his 8th grade syndrome (can't spell chunibbyo or something)

[quaint patrol]

chuunibyou

[somber relic]

CSI stuff in Case Closed literally only reach bare minimum amount lol

especially for a manga involved with lot of murder case

which is hilarious and sad at the same time

[somber relic]

because both have laid-back personality and sleepy eyes

for Hachiman it supposed to be dead-eye fish though

but anyway that's it

"literally me" anime MC at that time

[somber relic]

oh and black hair I guess

[silver robin]

yes

[gusty light]

I see SAO
I go to sleep

it is Reki's love tale to his Kirito

if Asuna is said loves Kirito so much, then Reki would be 2-3 tiers above her

tbh, I have no strength to chase One Piece, Dragon Ball, Conan, and other series

1000+ episodes? GTFO I guess, Naruto? same

[slender skiff]

@silver robin I remembered hearing rumours about the first 2 eps of Eminence being from vol 4

Is that right?

[silver robin]

I thought it was only the kidnap scene

[slender skiff]

When he meets the smol shadow garden

[silver robin]

so only episode 1

[slender skiff]

I mean

[gusty light]

Eminence? I wonder why this anime got its 2nd season faster than most animus

[silver robin]

when he means the smol shadow garden is vol 1 iirc

[gusty light]

can anyone explain why Shadow got 2 seasons faster than other anime

[slender skiff]

Because it has a huge fanbase

Aka it's popular

Enough reason?

[silver robin]

Maybe its not at the start of volume 1 but it happens in volume 1 pretty sure

[gusty light]

to be honest, if you are Shadow himself, who is your technical number 1 wife...

[silver robin]

like through flashbacks

[gusty light]

hmmm... ok

[silver robin]

but i guess anime went full chronological order and not ln order which is nice

[slender skiff]

It's weird

It feels very weird

[silver robin]

It does

[gusty light]

Hmmmm....

[slender skiff]

Like I don't even know the source material

[gusty light]

basically chronologically retells the LN

[slender skiff]

But I can sense something isn't flowing right

[silver robin]

Also in the anime they show / reference more of the relevant shadow garden characters than in the LN

[slender skiff]

I hope it isn't so bad later

[gusty light]

even so, I am sure that the author has his own reason to make a very convoluted stuffs and flashbacks like not telling everything chronologically

[slender skiff]

[silver robin]

Granted they only have like minimal lines

but they are existent when they werent before if that makes sense

[gusty light]

like there is some sort of key in the writing why it is made in that kind of way in LN

[silver robin]

[gusty light]

but even so, whatevs

[slender skiff]

Chronologically isn't always best after all

[gusty light]

I am just one person

[silver robin]

They conceal a lot of information

Both in the ln and anime

[slender skiff]

Index in chronological order makes little sense

[gusty light]

if you know why spoilers are generally disliked, chronological retelling does the same

[slender skiff]

So like monogatari?

[silver robin]

like a lot of character information is not said

you dont know anything about any of the characters for a while yes

[slender skiff]

So it really is like monogatari

[silver robin]

oh also the opening of eminence s1 shows the seven shadows in irl world but that never happens in anime nor ln

[slender skiff]

Guess I'll need to re-set my expectations

[silver robin]

Unlike monogatari idk if there is a hidden purpose to it though

[slender skiff]

Bad story telling strikes back

Then it'll be like Kumoko

[silver robin]

It might just be author trying to hide stuff cause "its eminence in shadow since its shadow it should be kept hidden hahaha im so smart please publish my bestselling book now thanks"

[silver robin]

in s2 they are pretty close to the actual ln so I'll give them that

just some action scenes changed here and there to not just end in 3 sentences

anyways just read the ln if you are curious

personally i find the anime a bit better due to it being basically the same except with flashing colors and dialogue

[whole berry]

Bruh we we're confused about that

[quaint patrol]

mato seitei no slave is great because

"if evil, why hot"

[somber relic]

honestly when there is a question like that, the best answer always be "go ask the producer and studio"

because what we can do about this is always a wild guess

[quaint patrol]

applies to every villain without regrets

[somber relic]

there is some anime which have super good rating in TV and pretty good BD sell count but you still have to wait for a long time for season continuation

and anime with so-so rating and BD sell count and got quick season continuation

there is no right answer about this except you asked to the production staff directly

[somber relic]

cc @gusty light

[gusty light]

huh?

[somber relic]

.

[gusty light]

oh ok...

[gusty light]

enough I guess

[somber relic]

though there was tendency of anime with bad BD sell count will not receive continuation

even then there is no 100% guarantee that will be true because there is still another factor like Producer and Investor

it even harder than trying to determine if a manga will get axed or not

so yeah, asking this shit is basically same with asking what is next update patch in #gameplay-help when there is no announcement about it nor there is info from livestream

[silver robin]

/nextevent where

award winning vibe? wot

did I missed some sarcasm there or what

[gusty light]

whut manhwa?

name me the source

[boreal oyster]

whut the

[quaint patrol]

this story with the constellations is so good

it doesnt rly need shock value

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/koOc0mxgNl8?si=A2yJgkF9IvLZZ52q

Tldr, he's doing a survey on anime viewers

[somber relic]

A manga with the "award-winning" tag can come from a famous national award scene, such as the Tezuka Osamu Award, or from a more obscure rookie manga award that nobody know and care

so basically the tag is meme and doesn't mean anything

even most MD mod agree that the tag is useless

but someone have to propose the tag removal in the forum and nobody (including me) care to do it

[somber relic]

also so far there is no cross-check verification for the tag, so some of title with the tag could be false

and doing it also really massive PITA either

so my advice is just ignore the tag

the only reason why the tag is still stay so far was because it's the legacy of the old site version

[slender skiff]

Lmao that underwear sequence in episode 8

Alexia pls

Stop thirsting so hard

[boreal oyster]

Rindo, sakurako, hilde and lenalee have the same VA

[slender skiff]

Just realised Luvia is missing from there

Also @quaint patrol apparently Bookworm has crossed the 10 million copies mark

[gusty light]

huh

[somber relic]

volumes count in Bookworm novel make me want to commit unalive

what the fuck with "vol.X part X"

[slender skiff]

It's to separate the arcs really

[somber relic]

can't they use normal volume numbering like a sane person

[slender skiff]

Clearly bookworm novel is for people with bigger brains

[thorn briar]

[dry moon]

I dunno

Some manga that have time traveling require 5 brains to figure it out

I totally forgot about senko san

Time to binge read

[somber relic]

What does rentarou's name have to do with renting a gf

[quaint patrol]

the fact that you havent completed the search query?

Rent is a word btw

rent 100 girlfriends

[thorn briar]

I was going to continue, but it surprised me that google suggested those while I was typing his name

Cause apparently rentarou reminded me of a character in D.gray-man called cross marian

Since cross is a womaniser

I know they ain't similar, but it just reminded me of him today

This is cross btw

[quaint patrol]

are you manga caught up or WN caught up?

[trim swan]

caught up with manhwa I've seen the novel spoilers

[quaint patrol]

[thorn briar]

I forgot which name u knew the manga by , so I kept it as vnc

I was going to read hanako manga , but I ended up reading some Pandora hearts chapters yesterday

[thorn briar]

Ron looks more evil in this episode

Well , the girl is alive

[echo quiver]

"murderers are the worst. im gonna go kill them all"

[ivory mauve]

Never leave waifu behind

[thorn briar]

If u mean ron , he's a half moriarty, and the moriarty family did something to him that's why he's like this and they don't want him to be a detective

Moriarty the patriot fans are loving this anime , cause Ron's parents are descendants of sherlock holmes and Moriarty

I'm fan of both

[whole berry]

It says vol 3 is the last

[quaint patrol]

yea i read vol 3 awhile ago

it wasnt a bad read

i'd lean good

[slender skiff]

Yes cad kun

[quaint patrol]

this is another series that still hasnt reached the main storyline

which is unfortunate

[stable herald]

Whata nime is this

[silver robin]

#anime-manga message

[slender skiff]

So I finished S1 of Eminence
That was

Iris seems to have half cracked
And Sherry is just long gone at this point

Also, poor Rose

[whole berry]

Wait you haven't finished it until now?

[slender skiff]

I started yesterday ma dude

So I'm starting S2 today

[whole berry]

Yesterday

[slender skiff]

Yesterday yes

[whole berry]

Damn that's fast

[slender skiff]

I was putting it off because I was telling myself to catch up with Frieren

Unfortunately I couldn't resist the urge long enough and here we are

I might go straight to the LN after this

Not sure

[silver robin]

s1 adapted vols 1-2 for eminence

[quaint patrol]

new frieren chapter btw

[silver robin]

then looks like s2 will adapt v3 and first half of v4

[quaint patrol]

it concludes the current arc

[silver robin]

unless its 20 eps like s1

[quaint patrol]

20 ep for 2 vol only?

how'd mushoku do 6 in 24 well

[silver robin]

i think the anime had some filler

i know s2 had 1 filler ep so far

[quaint patrol]

oh i see

[silver robin]

also since there are many moving parts the anime can show whats happening in parallel more easily

[weak glacier]

[zinc lance]

i dunno man, the last one piece episodes i watched were like 10episodes long every episode the exact same happening.

the only difference being the point of view changing and with that who is shown in the " meanwhile somewhere else" parts

and the same scene was shown like 20 times in one ep with ruffy running around and laughing

atleast that's what it felt like

[slender skiff]

This is normal tho

[slender skiff]

3 vol per cour is the average

Also

I finally reached the infamous John Smith arc

Okay why the heck is delta so adorable

[uncut marlin]

I feel your pain, when I find a good fanfic only to find out it got cancled

[silver robin]

its better represented in the anime

for sure

seeing it visually is just

[slender skiff]

The voice acting is also

[silver robin]

yes

holy shit

[slender skiff]

Ai Farouz

[silver robin]

jp vas are killing it

[slender skiff]

Pulling all the stops as always

[silver robin]

makes the experience so much better

[slender skiff]

And to think

She started her voice acting career in 2019

[uncut marlin]

Cool

[slender skiff]

And in that time

She's already voiced a JoJo character

[silver robin]

main jojo character too

[slender skiff]

Aye

Delta reminds me of Aisha from realist hero

Muscle for brains and very dedicated to their partner/master

Though Delta is another level entirely

[quaint patrol]

demon-like judge of fire is such a qt

[trim swan]

not that but around the end and well even the ending is an open one but do you really want spoilers?
