Like, if you want to fight on technicalities, just go to MAL forum

[somber relic]

my goodness

[weak glacier]

I literally said gantz is like horny hunger games and you got upset over that

[somber relic]

what??? I literally only told Shiroyasha to read stuff that don't have character dies

fight on technicalities?

the fuck????????

[weak glacier]

You do realize that stories don't typically advertise some characters dying

[somber relic]

and?

[somber relic]

what is wrong with this statement?

[weak glacier]

[somber relic]

yeah just spam that akagilul emote

[weak glacier]

It's ok Haru

Not everyone can be smart as you

Do you want a cookie?

[somber relic]

blud literally just bring out the previous convo that don't have relation with the current convo

I can't man

[weak glacier]

[somber relic]

.

[weak glacier]

You do not understand how conversations work?

[somber relic]

I can't believe I was telling Shiroyasha to read some peaceful SoL stuff bring a super dumb argument about "I can count the amount of times a parent has died or passed away in SoL"

[weak glacier]

Do you not understand how conversations work?

[somber relic]

hmm anyway, that's mean you love mystery fiction story

well that's okay I guess

you read/watch Hyouka right

there is also one mystery LN that wasn't bring the issue of ppl got killed or murdered

but it doesn't have manga and anime adaptation sadly

[thorn briar]

Which hyuoka

[somber relic]

which? there is only one hyouka lol

[weak glacier]

https://anilist.co/anime/12189/Hyouka/

[thorn briar]

I watched 1 episode

And dropped it

[weak glacier]

It's... whatever... I forgot most stuff

[somber relic]

sigh

[thorn briar]

Free was good

[weak glacier]

You watched the Great Pretender?

[thorn briar]

No

[weak glacier]

It has violence, don't remember if there is any death

It's on netflix

[somber relic]

@thorn briarif you like mystery stuff that much, you should watch this https://anilist.co/anime/21803/Kubikiri-Cycle-The-Blue-Savant-and-the-Nonsense-User/

from Nisioisin

[thorn briar]

I'm okay with characters getting killed

It's just that those characters happened to be my faves

[weak glacier]

I don't know if kakegurui considered a mystery

[thorn briar]

I watched kakegurui

I read the manga , and then dropped it

[weak glacier]

none of the main characters died in the first season so

OH SHIT

how did I forget

xxxHolic

[thorn briar]

I saw a clip of it somewhere and I didn't like it

[weak glacier]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lswJQkxx3A

i'm surprised

Mystery is the least watched tag for me

[somber relic]

so I guess I only know that you like cheesy mistery anime like Moriarty, Case Closed and Ron Komanashi, and nothing else

[weak glacier]

yeah

I haven't seen any mysteries

Like 7 in total

and that's kinda pushing it

Occultic; 9?

Kiznaiver kinda is mystery

but uh

Ender will kill me if I recommend it

[thorn briar]

Add to this that I watch romance anime sometimes, eventhough I don't like it

[weak glacier]

please tell me

You liked Horimiya

[thorn briar]

Yes

[somber relic]

I guess that was the reason why you said you tortured yourself

[thorn briar]

I like overlord

My beloved anime

[weak glacier]

My guy, it's called expanding your horizons

Sometimes you gotta seen what's up on the other side

[somber relic]

@thorn briaroh yeah, do you watch this then https://anilist.co/anime/14075/Zetsuen-no-Tempest

[weak glacier]

I only watched first season

[somber relic]

well lot of ppl dies there

[weak glacier]

Albedo is

[thorn briar]

I legit thought this was guilty crown

[weak glacier]

lmao

[somber relic]

lol

[weak glacier]

Haru blocked me

[thorn briar]

[weak glacier]

I don't know any other characters aside from the spidy girl

[thorn briar]

She's in my top 3 waifus

[weak glacier]

My top 3 is like

ryuuko, aqua, and desumi ig

[thorn briar]

My top3 are albedo, esdeath and the werewolf maid in overlord

[weak glacier]

Esdeath only thing I like in Akame ga Kill

Ok I lied

Bols was also good

[zinc lance]

are you her little piggy?

[weak glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/akame-ga-kill-bols-akame-ga-kill-gif-25694145

[thorn briar]

I only liked esdeath and akame and the girl with short hair that had 1 eye covered

[weak glacier]

No, I am her equal

[zinc lance]

[weak glacier]

I love goobers

Probably like my most favorite goober is

I guess Aqua

One is not like the others

[quaint patrol]

baaaaaaased

[weak glacier]

seems about right

The fans are not the brightest, yet are the horniest

I given up

I raise my white flag

@slender skiff you win

[cedar furnace]

A great show staring a guy who sells propane

[weak glacier]

It's a Texas anime

[cedar furnace]

Japan is the Alabama of Asia

[weak glacier]

🐮

fuck wrong emoji

🤠

[cedar furnace]

Then is total drama a Canadian anime?

[weak glacier]

unsure

I know King of the Hill takes place in Texas surburbia

ANd king of the hill is a pun

fyi

ALSO... I meant someone who spoke like Boomhaur

Actually, 2 people

They exist apparently

[cedar furnace]

Would Cecilia be considered a goober?

[weak glacier]

IS?

[cedar furnace]

Yeah I'm asking

[weak glacier]

YEP

She got quite the hubris I say

[cedar furnace]

Do you even know which Cecilia I'm talking about

[weak glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/xd-gif-26928334

The one and only British goober

I have her figure

[cedar furnace]

Who dat

[weak glacier]

Celicia

[cedar furnace]

From?

[weak glacier]

Infiite stratos

wait

hol up

nvm

[cedar furnace]

@weak glacier I was talking about this Cecilia

https://tenor.com/view/saint-cecilia-pastor-lawrence-saint-cecilia-and-pastor-lawrence-anime-lazy-gif-13107279604751753073

[weak glacier]

oh

idk who she is

[cedar furnace]

Idk what infinite stratos is

[weak glacier]

I mean, I know this Celica

gonna log off today

I got to work on my display

For now

Enjoy the Boch

[somber relic]

better cecilia indeed

[silver robin]

agree

we love saint cecelia

[weak glacier]

I mean...

Sure

I haven't watched it

not gonna die on the infinite stratos cecelia hill

[silver robin]

are you interested in slice of life wholesome anime

if so go watch saint cecelia

[weak glacier]

my guy

that is my bread n butter

[silver robin]

[weak glacier]

🤔

Reminds me of those church videos they showed at church

Is that... even possible?

[silver robin]

watch it and see

[weak glacier]

nooooo

[somber relic]

autism

[weak glacier]

If I do

I can't bitch about the state of romance

[silver robin]

no i mean watch the anime

[weak glacier]

oh

It's on my list

[silver robin]

nice

[weak glacier]

Gonna take awhile to get around watching it

I gotta sell some more propane

🏃

[silver robin]

dont blow yourself up on accident

[weak glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/boomhauer-king-of-the-hill-trivia-boomhauer-trivia-dang-ol-gif-25317778

I'll tell you hwat

so uh

When does Birdie Wing gonna get dubbed?

[cedar furnace]

Finally something I can get behind

[cedar furnace]

It's about a Saint and a pastor hanging out. It has a great artstyle and this fuzzy feeling to it

[weak glacier]

you know...

that sound's like a very bad idea

My mind been corrupted

[cedar furnace]

How so?

[cedar furnace]

Are you asking if they...

[weak glacier]

Catholic church sex scandal. Also mormen and jehovah's witnesses

[dry moon]

What now

What sex scandals

[weak glacier]

Y'all out of the loop?

[cedar furnace]

The one girl asks Lawrence if he's "taking advantage" of Cecilia

[dry moon]

I never entered it to begin with

[cedar furnace]

To Which he says...

[weak glacier]

There's a wiki article if you want to read

[cedar furnace]

Look ill get you the scene so all worries can be put to rest

Just one sec

[weak glacier]

nah I trust you

It sucks that's the first thing I think of

Just can't have normal (non-romantic) relationships nowadays

[cedar furnace]

It's literally brought up once vaugly in the show

[weak glacier]

Also, I am methodist if anyone is wondering

[cedar furnace]

Spoiler:||Lawrence also runs into a guy who he thinks is gonna "harm" Cecilia put I'm not gonna fully spoil it here||

[weak glacier]

it's ok I get what you saying

Anime just normalizes weird relationships

It's rare to see wholesome relationships

[cedar furnace]

I'm a Historian who likes logic but I do enjoy stupid ideas like saving the world by dueling a guy in a giant robot

[cedar furnace]

How normalized?

[weak glacier]

I'm more agnostic, but at the end of the day, does it matters?

[cedar furnace]

Nope

I think

[weak glacier]

Like brother complexes, dating cousins (which happened 3 times when I watched anime, weird), that one dog fetish, a couple of others

Also the general ecchi stuff

[cedar furnace]

Holy shit

[weak glacier]

Like, you can't brush them off like Haru does

They're popular for a reason

[cedar furnace]

Wait a minute speaking of weird relationships that groomer anime broke its own record for lowest rated imdb episode

[cedar furnace]

Who?

[weak glacier]

The guy I argue with all the time

If you want to read up on the lore, start here #anime-manga message

Anyways, the point is it's big enough to notice

[cedar furnace]

Then just don't watch that stuff

[weak glacier]

The problem is...

They bait and switch you

I don't really read the reviews before watching... Maybe I look at the funny number and then decide, but what ifs

[cedar furnace]

And they say it's bad when western media does that so why does Japan get a pass?

[cedar furnace]

I just watch what I find interesting

[weak glacier]

Because people who really love Japan also have very anti-western view

[cedar furnace]

The only stuff I really follow is star wars

[weak glacier]

Like

[cedar furnace]

Weebs?

[weak glacier]

You know how people shit on dubs all the time? Or people who complain that cartoons are over politicized?

Those culture wars idiots

[cedar furnace]

Yeah

[weak glacier]

You can appreciate both

Don't have to put one down to elevate the other

[cedar furnace]

Ive thought the same thing

[weak glacier]

I complain more about anime because, well, they have more "freedom" to do what they want and also I ignore most adult shows

[cedar furnace]

That it shouldn't matter what language someone watches a show in as long as they enjoy it

[weak glacier]

If you ask why I "unfairly" criticize anime more, it's because cartoons couldn't have the ecchi problem

They literally

Couldn't been controversial

[somber relic]

classic frosty slandered me for something that totally don't have correlation with the convo they just linked

[weak glacier]

There is a few exceptions though, like all things

Courage the cowardly dog is a notable exception

[cedar furnace]

Of what specifically?

[weak glacier]

It dealt with a lot of trauma stuff

It's rare to have "horror" in kids cartoons

[cedar furnace]

Ah

[weak glacier]

Like

It's

Actually disturbing

I have never been so scared watching that

[cedar furnace]

That's why people love the clone wars. Because of the Dark themes

[weak glacier]

oh

[cedar furnace]

And it's also why stuff like Blackadder is still loved

[weak glacier]

Here's an actual scene brb

[weak glacier]

When I say dark

I mean it's not like your edgy type of shit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFx0l6rCRu8

Freaky Fred is a groomer btw

This is a kids show btw

[cedar furnace]

Well they got the look right

[somber relic]

you also must be surprised that not everyone in internet live in NA, or Western Europe region

[cedar furnace]

I've been afraid to call two certain powerful internet presences out on that

[cedar furnace]

But he's right. Certain very hard-core weebs like Rev and Hei act like they hate America

Hell hei says that he's an anarchist

[weak glacier]

I'm not even referencing those people. It's common for American weebs to have anti-western view

I don't know if you are aware of the "culture wars"

[cedar furnace]

Yet in Japan SA rates are so underreported and high that there's female only trains

[weak glacier]

Just commentators bitching about how western media too LGBT or something

Then praises anime

My guy

[cedar furnace]

I ain't a fan of lgbt stuff but I ain't a dick about it unless it's just forced

Or doesn't make sense

[weak glacier]

I've seen a lot of criticisms of Steven Universe for their LGBT representation

[cedar furnace]

I thought it was their fandom

[weak glacier]

They do have some LGBT characters iirc

[cedar furnace]

Who mocked an artist for not killing herself

[weak glacier]

I mean

You can find bad if you looking for it, you can find good if you looking for it

But majority of these commenters are complaining how how PC cartoons are

[cedar furnace]

One example I know of is there's a gay guy in the latest season of total drama but it isn't woke or forced because total drama characters are a parody of teenagers

[weak glacier]

I don't know if you're aware

[cedar furnace]

So obviously they're gonna parody the gay guy

[weak glacier]

But there is kind of a

[cedar furnace]

Of

[weak glacier]

"Guidelines" the cartoon industry followed for a long time

Let me pull it up

[cedar furnace]

A wokeness quota?

[weak glacier]

oh no

[cedar furnace]

A diversity quota?

[weak glacier]

No, it was rules for what couldn't be aired

[cedar furnace]

Oh so thats why Romin doesn't list off the ingredients for gunpowder

In the dub

Cuz I heard in the jp version she does

[weak glacier]

shit

There was a batman comic that told you

I guess I'll try to list some

[boreal oyster]

?

[weak glacier]

1. No death on screen
2. No alcohol & tobacco (limited on the smoking part I think)
3. Nudity is a no no
4. Blood was extremely limited (they literally hade like a "blood" limit)
5. No "realistic" guns (that's why you see laser guns)
6. No serious injuries/harm (that's why they "pass out")

[cedar furnace]

Those are called board casting rules and they can vary from country to country

[weak glacier]

Funnily enough

Kissing was allowed and there was no limit

Despite anime's ecchi nature, I've seen more kisses in cartoons

Liek

Batman was giving those schmooches out like no tomorrow

[silver robin]

wait its not dubbed yet? i thought it was a crunchyroll show so it would get dubbed

[weak glacier]

(Batman Beyond, for reference)

[weak glacier]

I think it didn't get picked (?)

[boreal oyster]

a dub person

[cedar furnace]

Despite this I remember that Titan from GX gets eaten alive and it's uncensored and 80% of the scene where heartland from zexal is burned alive is still in

[weak glacier]

so yeah... birdie wing doesn't have a dub

idk

[cedar furnace]

And the clone wars and bad batch just turn those rules into a checklist

Based tbh

[silver robin]

sadge

[weak glacier]

Despite these limitations, cartoons still have a lot of compelling stories

[weak glacier]

I think these guidelines were loosen later on

But like

They were a big deal for like 50 years or something

[cedar furnace]

Will this get dubbed?https://youtu.be/vSB2WjwYhyE?si=thWoaX8WqMOE3Nlc

[weak glacier]

Hell, even comics got censored with comics codes

[cedar furnace]

Agreed

[weak glacier]

I still need to get one of those EC comics compilation

[cedar furnace]

And people don't really give a shit about the censors in only yugioh cuz it's still fun to watch

[weak glacier]

I think why cartoons are so compelling is because of the brevity. I notice it takes so much to get the point when watching anime

But like

That's up to you

I mean, what can be done in 3 episodes for anime, is done in like one episode in cartoons

[cedar furnace]

I say that both can tell amazing stories

[weak glacier]

I forgot how fast cartoons are

Like batman* literally goes on a date, gets called to the batcave, does investigation, starts a romantic triangle, fights the bad guy, ends the romantic triangle, and then like continues on the date

This is like

one episode

And cartoons have like

very little dialogue

Well, depends on which era though

Those marvel "cartoons" were just guys standing still and talking, even more than that of SoL anime

[silver robin]

maybe?

[weak glacier]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HZ44Nqm6TE&list=PLdLF9em77IVc2OBSj35i_fuGzEuW18_vn

[silver robin]

depends on how the producer feels

[weak glacier]

ngl

These episodes feel like your average slice of life, but like more brazen in their minimal animation effort

[cedar furnace]

Fuck it idk how to voice act but if they need one I'll be that one

But idk

[weak glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/yodel-yodeling-walmart-kid-mason-ramsey-gif-11560766

dead meme, I know

bruh

Some guy just in the show

"CALL ME RED HERRING"
10/10 writing

[cedar furnace]

Whoever gave the groomer anime and onamai 10/10 is probably not mentally stable

[weak glacier]

I mean, it's a kids show

I'm not sure if a kid knows wht a Red Herring is

[boreal oyster]

action cartoon with alot of weapons yet no blood involved makes me raaaahhhh 🦅

blood where raaaahhhh

[weak glacier]

I'm looking at this 1960s cartoon

and not one police officer

has a gun

[cedar furnace]

Does star wars count because there is a lore reason

[weak glacier]

Bro

the police are just using their fists

💀

[weak glacier]

Cause the lasers char the skin or something

also

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-force-awakens-finn-blood-dead-gif-7198875

[cedar furnace]

Yeah true

[somber relic]

do you know how many people added ongoing/hiatus title like One Piece or Vagabond as "completed" in their tracker

[weak glacier]

idk, maybe my guy just had his ketchup pack exploded

[cedar furnace]

Ok but that's different

[boreal oyster]

means they had enough of the shit

and continue to read no more

[somber relic]

well yeah, my point is internet never ran out of stupid people

[cedar furnace]

Or pedos sadly

[weak glacier]

You see

Here's the problem

[boreal oyster]

BA players

[somber relic]

most of the time the motive was to bloat their tracker stat

[cedar furnace]

But they can't carry and their location is public

[weak glacier]

People can't separate what's "good" and what makes their neuron "activate"

[cedar furnace]

Is that why nikke is popular

[weak glacier]

🤷‍♂️

[somber relic]

and azur lane

[weak glacier]

I heard the story was compelling

But like

[weak glacier]

I skin

skip

[cedar furnace]

I play for the history

[weak glacier]

I need to finish gantz

[cedar furnace]

Huh

[weak glacier]

What history is there in AL?

I mean

As far as I'm aware

Belfast and Enty ships aren't real

[cedar furnace]

References

[somber relic]

bismark zwei is real copium

[weak glacier]

Haru.... I hate that I agree with you

[cedar furnace]

I like her

[somber relic]

if you disagree with that you should have your brain checked anyway

[cedar furnace]

Somehow bismarck is a somewhat well written character

[weak glacier]

I don't think you realize my undying dislike for Bismarck

[cedar furnace]

Ok seriously what's the reference here?

[somber relic]

also just pretend any Gantz manga series aside the main series never exist

[cedar furnace]

I need to finish sevens

[weak glacier]

@somber relic

[cedar furnace]

Bismarck is a last name

[weak glacier]

I didn't even know there was a side series

[cedar furnace]

His first name was otto

[weak glacier]

I'm aware von Bismarck is

[somber relic]

there are even a sequel of it lol

[weak glacier]

[somber relic]

but it doesn't matter

[weak glacier]

I almost ordered an 1/4 scale gantz figure

I was broke

and still am

[somber relic]

you can skip it and you will not missed anything

it was as bad as Akame ga kill sequel

[cedar furnace]

I accidentally got a figure from aliexpress that one time

[weak glacier]

funny you say

They do sell legit GKs on ali

[cedar furnace]

It was free

[weak glacier]

But they upcharged so much

[somber relic]

A sequel that has little relevance to the main series and is objectively bad.

[weak glacier]

I mean...

The series isn't "great", but it's fun

Yes, I did enjoy Alien Resurrection

🏃

[somber relic]

and yeah, the another series of Gantz weren't good nor fun to read

[weak glacier]

I'm only half way through

I think I spent

pulls out calculator

At least $160 on 8 volumes

I got like 4-5 more to buy

They're omnibuses, not "volumes", but whatever

They like $20 at least

[cedar furnace]

I've hidden a mango due to its semi lewdness

[weak glacier]

My guy

I have a h-blu-ray

[somber relic]

well just call it omnibus volume, but ye

[weak glacier]

You can probably guess who

[weak glacier]

They did release each volume in non-collected format

[somber relic]

I know

[weak glacier]

They extremely expensive and rare

why on god's green earth

Also, they need to reprint Freezing anga

but it ain't happening

[somber relic]

yes

[weak glacier]

"indefinite hiatus" my ass

[somber relic]

well, it is?

[weak glacier]

I mean

[somber relic]

yeah the author abandoned the manga

[weak glacier]

It is indefinite

[somber relic]

yes

[weak glacier]

They call it "indefinite" so that they can hedge their bets

[somber relic]

also yes

[weak glacier]

Meaning, they don't want to say they just up and quit

[somber relic]

yes

[weak glacier]

also

[somber relic]

just avoid any title from Im-Dal-Young

[weak glacier]

well I was just an innocent poor soul

I enjoyed the anime

How does that guy keep his job?

[somber relic]

yeah, and I read at least three comic titles from the author

not including Freezing though

[weak glacier]

There is one weird quirk

That is not often discussed

A random tagent

But

Manga being published in comic form

[somber relic]

it is

but not in a channel full with mostly anime-watcher people like here

[weak glacier]

🤷‍♂️

I just think it's fascinating

[somber relic]

at least it was used to be, but now even we were bored with talking about him

[weak glacier]

Especially since a lot of older titles only have them

[cedar furnace]

Why

[weak glacier]

Well, I was on drugs

No seriously

Meds fucked me up

also

hol up

[somber relic]

btw wdym by "comic form"

what

[cedar furnace]

And I mean the only lewd in that book was a shot of a bra through a loose fitting shirt, an undershot, a girl in the shower and the mc walking in on a girl changing

[somber relic]

is this supposed to be a joke that I missed as well

[weak glacier]

#anime-manga message

[cedar furnace]

Ah

[weak glacier]

it's in there somewhere, not gonna say

[weak glacier]

no

it's real

[cedar furnace]

Aqua porn?

[somber relic]

yeah, wym by comic form then

[weak glacier]

I know at least 3 series

give me a moment, I have some

[weak glacier]

[somber relic]

just drop the title

[weak glacier]

Ah My Goddess

Or Oh my Goddess

seems like they can't decide which

[somber relic]

I need to buy grocery

[weak glacier]

@somber relic

it is published in full comic format

I notice there was one weird clipping issue on one of the pages

shit

There's a Bee Gees reference

"... I'm a woman's man"

"no time to talk"

My genocyber "manga" is published in the same way

weirdly enough

Unlike manga, comic prints are standardize

So like there isn't a standard, yet all of the ones I have is the same size?

Of course, graphic novels are all over the places

I guess you can say... Graphic novels are America's version of Takoubon

But unlike takoubons, they don't collect all the issues

Only certain arcs n stuff

There is, however, compilations for some older stuff

Really want to get one of these "compilations"

[silver robin]

thats only with some old stuff

nowadays you don't see it anymore

instead if you try to read it left to right, you open to a info page explaining that you are reading it wrong lmao

[weak glacier]

It's kinda surreal

I kinda actually

Appauled the effort for trying to make it read left to right

man

10 years from now I'm gonna blow some middle school weebs mind that yeah

You can read manga left to right

I forgot who was famous for doing that

Wasn't it like... ADV?

I might have one in my collection

found one

It's uh... tokyopop

But the author is russian-candian

[somber relic]

all right

I'm not sure how you call that "comic format" though? because Dark Horse published it in LTR format? it was a common case for old manga published by them

with that logic, you will call physical manhwa release as "comic" format as well

[weak glacier]

Comic format, as in, the way it's published

They are paper stapled together

It's a very specific type of binding

Akin to a pamphelt

[somber relic]

oh, binding type alright

but I'm sure it's just Dark Horse things

[weak glacier]

Oh no

Viz does it too

[somber relic]

hmm

[weak glacier]

Give me a moment

[somber relic]

well yeah, NA publisher things alright

but you should blame them for that

[weak glacier]

I did actually

I'm not complaining

It's rather interesting

But there is some Japanese stuff published in "comic" form

I did come across some old stuff, like 80s stuff

[somber relic]

Dark Horse literally publish old manga in LTR format to please western reader

or at least that what they thought at that time

Blade of The Immortal, Shadow Star etc.

[weak glacier]

well, you have to remember manga is still relatively new in NA

I mean, thats why the printed some left to right before they just gave up

[somber relic]

yeah, I just talk about how Dark Horse doing their things

and it was kind of annoying in some way

though their tl quality is good at least

[weak glacier]

I wonder if the Genocyber series was created left to right

[weak glacier]

The ones I have are actually good

I have some other Darkhorse stuff

[somber relic]

most title from Dark Horse were good

[weak glacier]

funny you say

hol up

[somber relic]

one of their problem is they have super slow release

we are usually complained about that

[weak glacier]

darkhorse was "different" because they don't publish a lot of superhero stuff

[somber relic]

and also this

[weak glacier]

They were kinda like the modern EC comics

[somber relic]

it was annoying for some title

Shadow Star was a chore to read thank to that

[weak glacier]

I think they may have divided by chapter

I'm not sure where the divisions are

[somber relic]

well since I barely read any western comic, I will not give any comment for this

[weak glacier]

well

If you want a good series

Judge Dredd

[somber relic]

I will pass

[weak glacier]

Don't like it?

[somber relic]

no

I just have ton of title to read in backlog

not counting novel

rotten in my bookshelf

[weak glacier]

you don't have to read it in chronological order

You could literally just close your eyes and pick a random chapter

but yeah

I need to collect the case files

If you have the time, watch the movie (2012)

@cedar furnace

I've read some of this series

I heard it was bad

But nothing

could be as bad as that one star wars book I forgot I read

[quaint patrol]

are those part of the EU

[weak glacier]

I think so

[quaint patrol]

expanded universe starwars

[weak glacier]

Some parts are canon know

[cedar furnace]

The eu is cool

[quaint patrol]

i have like 60 books of the EU

I was into star wars before manga

[weak glacier]

I think some of the stuff was plundered

Same

I still occasionally hit up the ol star wars book

You read Republic Commando? @quaint patrol

[quaint patrol]

yea four books of it

[weak glacier]

only read the first

[quaint patrol]

I dont remember it anymore

[weak glacier]

Karen Traviss is great

[quaint patrol]

I tried rereading one of the X wing books and honestly, it was written so badly

[weak glacier]

You want to know my most prized franchise book or something

[weak glacier]

Nothing could be as bad as that one where they go to that space station I forgot

fuck

[quaint patrol]

there's alot of space stations kekw

[weak glacier]

I need to find the photo

[quaint patrol]

from star wars eu?

I just know that timothy zahn's series was super popular

[weak glacier]

It's a Doom book

[quaint patrol]

cos of thrawn

[weak glacier]

[quaint patrol]

doom is cool too

[weak glacier]

This sounds like a parody

[quaint patrol]

lol stackpole

[weak glacier]

ok found the worst one I read

[quaint patrol]

I think the yuuhzan vong war was unadaptable for disney

disney owns star wars right

[weak glacier]

yeah

you say that

But Marvel recently published some yuuhzan vong stuff

[quaint patrol]

wtf they did it?

[weak glacier]

also hard pass on this one

let me pull out my shelf

[quaint patrol]

ill post my shelf later, im not home atm

[weak glacier]

@quaint patrol

[quaint patrol]

that's marvel?

[weak glacier]

dark horse

Let me see my marvel collection

But yeah

This was 2012

currently nah

[quaint patrol]

something from EU ive not touched at all is like

the bugs after yuuzhan

[weak glacier]

https://www.marvel.com/comics/events/327/star_wars

Here's the current series they running

nvm found some more

https://www.marvel.com/comics/discover/383/start-here-star-wars

let me check dark horse

[quaint patrol]

that's a little bit interesting

[weak glacier]

ngl

have some sick covers

jesus so many series

[quaint patrol]

wtf is that

i imagine his suit is waterproof at least

[weak glacier]

I know it's a refernce or something

It's a horror trope I think

I think goosebumps did something similar

[quaint patrol]

yooo scholastic

[weak glacier]

https://www.darkhorse.com/Search/Star Wars

1355 results

It kinda funny to think

That Gundam doesn't even match the amount of content produced by Disney Star Wars

And Gundam does a lot

[quaint patrol]

intense milking ig

[weak glacier]

Although, Gundam does produce a lot of shows

Well, bandai, but same thing

[weak glacier]

The problem is

The gap between the originals and the prequels were filled with all the novels they made

Wasn't like 20-30 year drought between the two?

[quaint patrol]

luke was how old?

[quaint patrol]

idk, 20s sounds right

[weak glacier]

So yeah

Basically authors were making shit up and now we have a divided fanbase

[quaint patrol]

it's funny cos

there's an EU timeline in those books

[weak glacier]

yeah

Well

[quaint patrol]

but it's like

does one random author's canon just fuck over everyone afterwards?

[weak glacier]

It's more like

100,000 years ago...

[quaint patrol]

i think it was del rey publishing

[weak glacier]

Shit was different

Wait 2009?

Honestly though

Whatever canon is yours, that's the real canon

[quaint patrol]

https://youtini.com/list/chronological-legends

[weak glacier]

And on that note, even the sequel trilogy is redeemable. Our generation may not look so fondly on it, but I'm sure the younger ones will

I remember people will bitch about the prequel trilogy as much as the sequel trilogy

[quaint patrol]

arent the prequels most shat on?

prequels meaning 1-3, sequels meaning 4-6?

or are the sequels literally the latest disney sequels

[weak glacier]

Mostly shat on for it's awkward dialogues

[weak glacier]

Prequels are 1-3, original is 4-6, and the sequels is 7-9

[quaint patrol]

is that how it is

alright

[weak glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-like-sand-pocket-sand-anakin-gif-18419382

[quaint patrol]

birthing that meme redeems everything

[weak glacier]

Honestly though

Disney has shown to be capable

[quaint patrol]

by that pre-deathstar movie?

[weak glacier]

Andor and Rogue One are excellent

[quaint patrol]

that one was quite good

[weak glacier]

I admit yeah it was

Especially the final fight scene

[quaint patrol]

what is andor?

[weak glacier]

The tv show

[cedar furnace]

And the bad batch too

[weak glacier]

That too

I like how they brought back scrapped ideas

[cedar furnace]

TV show. It's getting a second season

[weak glacier]

@quaint patrol

Worth your time

I need to finish watching it

[cedar furnace]

Yeah. It's slow but worth it

If ya know what I mean

[weak glacier]

I think the reason why Andor was so successful is because it had no expectations

Like

[quaint patrol]

i dont have much patience for watching many things

[weak glacier]

They were using a character that nobody cared about

And still made a great story

I think when you trying to live up your legacy, you'll always will struggle

Sometimes

Just go balls to the walls, no fucks given

[cedar furnace]

And the writing

[weak glacier]

I mean yeah

Because they didn't have to shove in "HEY LOOK, YOU KNOW THAT GUY?!"

[quaint patrol]

lol, if these cameos are stuff anything other than comedy

then it just feels like shoehorn

[weak glacier]

Comedy is just the bane of modern disney

Like

Play it straight will you?

it's stupid, we know

[cedar furnace]

In the bad batch Rex actually has a role in the story

And isnt just a cameo

Same with scorch

[quaint patrol]

killiks

[cedar furnace]

I've just seen one of the greatest yugioh endings and then a horrid Twitter clip made my eyes burn

[somber relic]

do you play YGO as well

or only watch the anime

[cedar furnace]

Yeah I sometimes do locals and watch the anime (I'm also waiting for go rush to be dubbed)

[cedar furnace]

Like sevens had a great ending

[somber relic]

sevens what

[cedar furnace]

Yugioh Sevens

[cedar furnace]

Speak of yugioh this is one of my favorite yugioh "filler episodes"https://youtu.be/VDRe-1VMT00?si=V7vnogHWOalc-L2x

@weak glacier another great star wars comic series are the Kanan comics

[weak glacier]

I haven't read it yet

Also, I do have a YGO collection

[signal grotto]

you guys watched school days before or played the vn?

[weak glacier]

Rather not both

I need to get a light diffuser to light up my billy shelf

[cedar furnace]

Is that your room?

[weak glacier]

yeah

That's...

Only like half of what I have

All my other books in my closet

and dvds, blu rays n other shitz

I still need to display my hot wheels

[slender skiff]

Should I rename this channel to #star-wars lmao

[weak glacier]

I mean...

They did release a manga....

[slender skiff]

And so did Deadpool

[weak glacier]

Spiderman did too

[slender skiff]

Well then

Can't say I'm surprised at how much bocchi dominated

[weak glacier]

#anime-manga message

[slender skiff]

Wow that Cecilia looks amazing

That said, credit to whoever designed that carpet too

[silver robin]

[weak glacier]

I feel like I'm getting corerced into watching this

[silver robin]

why havent you started watching it yet

[weak glacier]

CAUSE I NEED TO SELL PROPANE AND PROPANE ACCESSORIES DAMN IT

[silver robin]

then go work

[weak glacier]

Once I finish season 1, I will

[silver robin]

[weak glacier]

I got to clean my room

Just wanted to flex my lights I just installed

[silver robin]

wow

[weak glacier]

Just wait, this isn't the final form

[slender skiff]

If you can't sell them
Make them go boom

[weak glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/boom-bomb-explosion-iron-man-tony-stark-gif-15429820

[slender skiff]

Then again

Propane on its own can't really go boom easily

[slender skiff]

For a brief moment

[slender skiff]

I thought that plaster was a pregnancy kit

I mean let's be real the artist makes the goods

[quaint patrol]

these are from the main artist?

[slender skiff]

Same artist did the initial art for Tenshi too

[quaint patrol]

gives me momoco vibes

[slender skiff]

Sure looks like the artstyle

https://anilist.co/staff/119285/Hazano-Kazutake

[quaint patrol]

uoh is my default term for these kinda art

[somber relic]

uoh? ?

[slender skiff]

Or rather

[somber relic]

[slender skiff]

Guy went from illustrator to mangaka

In a way
I suppose you could argue that tenshi's character design also came from him

[somber relic]

illustrator here you mean LN illustrator?

[slender skiff]

Yep

[somber relic]

then no

you are wrong

he was a mangaka first

[slender skiff]

Took a side gig?

[somber relic]

before working at Tenshi LN illustration

[somber relic]

oh well, he did LN illustration for Ubau Mono Ubawareru Mono so it wasn't totally wrong

[silver robin]

tenshi illustratator is completely different

[slender skiff]

No baka sam

[silver robin]

for ln

[slender skiff]

Vol 1 Tenshi was this illustrator

[silver robin]

oh

[slender skiff]

It changed to Hanekoto for vol 2 onwards

Also whoops it's a she

I mean see?

[silver robin]

oh wao

[slender skiff]

In a way

You could argue she came up with the original character designs

[silver robin]

they probably did

likely

[slender skiff]

Which Hanekoto used for later

[somber relic]

well, she is the original character design artist for it yes

[somber relic]

the artist is female

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

I do really like the soft art style

[somber relic]

I think you will like this manga https://anilist.co/manga/112598/Tonari-no-Seki-no-Satousan

[slender skiff]

Well you got me there

I do find myself drawn to that art

[slender skiff]

@silver robin Sam kun

I have decided the time is ripe

To foray into Chitose is in the Ramune Bottle

I need to find out why it's so well regarded in JP circles

[somber relic]

how about this?

[slender skiff]

Ya know

[slender skiff]

My first question is

Is that supposed to be Ichika from 5-tobun

[somber relic]

no

this girl is better

[slender skiff]

Cos damn they look similar

[slender skiff]

To be fair, not a high bar

[somber relic]

yeah, typical short hair anime waifu char

[boreal oyster]

ok

why she smol

[slender skiff]

Because Anne is a few years older?

[quaint patrol]

not that tearmoon is supposed to be a writing standout but

Although some of the side stories are good

some of them are just so obnoxiously painting Mia as amazing and her loss as horrible

An actually good side story was when ||Ludwig was teaching Mia about politics when her country was going downhill, and she was genuinely trying, but at the end of all that, she was still executed||

after ludwig's original impression of mia was a useless noble

that one touched my heartstrings

[slender skiff]

That one hit the kokoro

[trim swan]

luhwih

[slender skiff]

Oh lord

[boreal oyster]

luhuwihi

[trim swan]

hahari beloved

(I don't even watch it read 100gf)

[boreal oyster]

🦅

[slender skiff]

Shamheart

[slender skiff]

[slender skiff]

What a start
That's how the MC introduced himself in his monologue

[trim swan]

the foxie uwu

[silver robin]

have fun

also tell me if its good

[silver robin]

https://tenor.com/view/konosuba-kazuma-hilarious-gender-equality-truth-lol-gif-13893407

[slender skiff]

Not the og gender equality sadly

There we go

[silver robin]

Oh right

[somber relic]

JP circles? circle here you mean something like doujin circle group or circle as some small community group? lol

also reminder that lot of Japenis have shit taste

[slender skiff]

In general

It's always high ranking on the kono light novel ga sugoi awards

So I was curious

[slender skiff]

[boreal oyster]

keiki taberu

[slender skiff]
