Because of the new episode, Yuki is getting more love

[cedar furnace]

R1999 isn't weird

[stable herald]

I mean...we are literally pulling gachas, aka gambling to get women

and in some game, men

And use them as "companions" aka slaves

[solid nebula]

[stable herald]

/joke

[solid nebula]

I am a chronic gacha player who hasn't spent a single dime on them

Shocking eh?

[stable herald]

The most expensive amount I've spent on a gacha game is the

30 days pass

only in PGR

and thats it.

Not even AL

[solid nebula]

Fr was about to break my oath on tower of fantasy for bunny ears

For some reason they didn't come with the patch and is forever Chinese exclusive

despair

I am a... Very simple man

Don't look at me, I like my bunny girls

[weak glacier]

@slender skiff

[echo quiver]

wait until you find out about this game with shipgirls and an entire line of bunny girl skins

i was about to make a gundam joke

then saw the... subtitle? is that what it's called?

[weak glacier]

Frierien, idk how to spell it

[solid nebula]

Nah not that kind

Look at my pfp dawg

[weak glacier]

It's Witch from MErcary

[solid nebula]

Rabbit girls are peak

[slender skiff]

[echo quiver]

oh, that kind

[solid nebula]

Yes sir

[echo quiver]

why does that face look so weird

i think it's the nose

and mouth

[solid nebula]

AI generated

She is mine

[echo quiver]

i mean the onk thing

[solid nebula]

Oh

Shit

My bad

[weak glacier]

I don't know if this guy is up to speed

I got a new phone

Good lord

It was like $1000 or something

Hey, they include free shipping

[echo quiver]

i wonder what makes it rare

[weak glacier]

idk

[echo quiver]

actually, the fact that they labeled it rare makes me think it's not rare

it's like having to label an antique 2000 year old chinese teapot RARE

fgo reference.

[weak glacier]

"rare"

[echo quiver]

til crunchyroll sells manga

[weak glacier]

they've been doing it

They merged with righstuf

[echo quiver]

at a 25% markup

oh, wait, nevermind. first one is vol 1

[weak glacier]

[echo quiver]

whew

sony is moving aggressively

time to buy sony stock

[weak glacier]

Sony ExCLuSIVe

[echo quiver]

nevermind. sony stock is too high right now

[weak glacier]

Sony is the Apple of Japan

Microsoft just destroys Apple and Sony in terms of scale

[echo quiver]

yeah, but now sony has a massive foothold on the legal western online anime/manga industry and now they're biting into physical manga too

they got a niche

like how apple sells overpriced versions of everything microsoft does

[weak glacier]

I think they only being a retailer, not too big in publishing

It's ironic considering that they publish a lot of video games for the Playstation

[echo quiver]

crazy how after two decades of anime in the west, crunchyroll's only competitor was funimation and now hidive

and funimation got bought up and merged with crunchy sooooo

[weak glacier]

I don't think Sony will play well in the publishing industry tbh

[echo quiver]

and hidive is doing their own thing

[weak glacier]

If betamax and VHS wars proved anything, Sony is too egotisical, too better, to work with anyone

[echo quiver]

to be fair, the original anime adaptations have improved ever since sony bought crunchyroll

before, it was weird shit that everyone hated

now they're actually producing decent stuff.

[weak glacier]

Remember that one crunchyroll original everyone hated

[echo quiver]

oh my god. i looked for a list of crunchyroll origins

what do i find on the list

[weak glacier]

[echo quiver]

whew

i thought we were talking about anime

/s

[weak glacier]

It is... anime

Oh

Ex-Arm was produced by a TV show guy

Live action tv direcotr

[echo quiver]

but yeah, we dont talk about high guardian spice

[weak glacier]

Contrary to what people believe, just because you capable of directing live action, doesn't make you good animation director

Same applies for 2d-3d

I wonder the intersection between those who directed 3d and those who directed 2d

Cause I know that Ghilibi guy's son recently directed a 3d show

We can't all be winners ig

[echo quiver]

3d aside, what confuses me most is the font that seems to be from a 70s tv show

[weak glacier]

Probably trying to emulate his father

[echo quiver]

i think they just suck at picking fonts. should have asked for advice.

[weak glacier]

I know his dad just refuses to accept his son as his own person

"I could do better"

You know what's weird

I know who Ursula is

She is more famous for another work

[echo quiver]

in unrelated news, i finally made it far enough in detective conan to be able to watch it on crunchyroll.

[weak glacier]

what

[echo quiver]

no longer have to proxy into bilibili

[weak glacier]

I am confused

They don't have all of it?

[echo quiver]

crunchyroll only has like episodes 1-300 and 760-present. or something like that

not those exact episode numbers

but close enough, give or take 100 episodes

[weak glacier]

I know that 4kids did some of one piece

[echo quiver]

same on netflix

[weak glacier]

Why the gap?

[echo quiver]

it's basically unstreamable on any western platform (legally) except via proxy

idunno. ask crunchyroll and netflix

oh, it's even worse

[weak glacier]

[echo quiver]

1-123 and 754+

missing 600 episodes lol

[weak glacier]

Did they switch production companies?

you know what's funny

Tubi has 965-1014

[echo quiver]

wild

[thorn briar]

I'm rewatching conan

[echo quiver]

[weak glacier]

🤔

So one piee

So conan had 2 production companies, while one piece had like one

[echo quiver]

watching all of conan is harder than one piece, now that i think about it

[thorn briar]

I got bored and I missed them , so I started a rewatch from ep 509

[echo quiver]

one piece is like 50% flashbacks and staring contests

and has fewer episodes

[weak glacier]

Nobody sane willing to rewatch case closed

Hell, I only rewatched kill la kill 3 times

[echo quiver]

you say that, but just wait until it ends

rewatch marathons gonna be everywhere

all 3000 episodes

[thorn briar]

This makes me insane then

[weak glacier]

those are all people who want to pad their MAL

[weak glacier]

tbh that is the most sane thing you've done

[thorn briar]

[echo quiver]

i finally found mary

and all i got was

[weak glacier]

[echo quiver]

im your sister from another moth- i mean, domain

[weak glacier]

i didn't realize how insane your husbandos were

[thorn briar]

[thorn briar]

[weak glacier]

just messing with you shiro

[thorn briar]

She's a mother

[thorn briar]

If u looked at my waifus , I may be considered insane

[weak glacier]

When we had that brief Seryu conversation yesterday, it reminded me of this

[echo quiver]

i dont even know what a domain is

[thorn briar]

Cause some of them are literally sadistic

[weak glacier]

THe land of a kingdom

[echo quiver]

i guess it can mean territo-

oh

[weak glacier]

Or with your group

[echo quiver]

that's such a weird hint

[thorn briar]

You are right

[echo quiver]

like she's implying she's from the us? how can that possibly help as a hint

[weak glacier]

It's either something you can control, i.e. what is in your domain, or the land you control

[echo quiver]

or britain

idk

[thorn briar]

I think I said it here before

[thorn briar]

But , she's British

[weak glacier]

Domain is exclusively almost used for kingdoms

[echo quiver]

yeah. but they're going to tease her identity for like 5 seasons

[weak glacier]

You won't say "America's domain"

[echo quiver]

ah, so conan might be able to figure out that she's british

[weak glacier]

Also this is another funny use of domain

[thorn briar]

Actually u will know who she is in ep 1000 and something

[echo quiver]

what

that's like 200 episodes away

that's 20 seasons

wtf

[weak glacier]

How long is each episode?

[thorn briar]

24 min , and some are 48

[echo quiver]

i assume standard length since it airs on tv. so like 20 minutes

[weak glacier]

The animators using the Stephen King method I see

[echo quiver]

detective chiba is gonna be married by the time they reveal mary by this rate

[thorn briar]

48 are the specials episodes that are in the anime

[echo quiver]

why do the police love stories get more plot development than the main plot

[weak glacier]

How much filler there is?

[thorn briar]

Alot

But , they are enjoyable

[weak glacier]

You say that, but the lesbian romance in Witch from Mecrury was far more compelling than the mech battles

[echo quiver]

idunno. i watch all of it because i dont mind them too much.

[weak glacier]

ngl

[echo quiver]

true, but i meant how much progress they make

[thorn briar]

There is a new police love story actually

[weak glacier]

Bandai said they were friends and I haven't finished season 2

[echo quiver]

but you're right. they're so popular that detective conan made some of them new years specials lol

[weak glacier]

You know what's funny

[echo quiver]

i was wondering who was next. since they ran out of police

but they're definitely gonna have more

[weak glacier]

I wonder how long they gonna keep this gig up
Sooner or later they might catch up to One Piece

[thorn briar]

Yes

[echo quiver]

that thing still exists?

[thorn briar]

We got a love story between haneda and wakasa

[weak glacier]

X-files had 218 episodes 🤔

[thorn briar]

[weak glacier]

In anime terms, it would be 436

They were 48 minute episodes

Funny enough

I did watch the director's cut of Re:Zero

Which they were 48 minutes each

[silver robin]

almost didn't see the edit for a second

[echo quiver]

holy shit, same. i was gonna just move on until i saw that you didnt see it then realized i also didnt see it

perfect example of fake it until you make it

do something with enough confidence and no one will question you even if it's wrong

[flat cedar]

man that just feels off

Apparently a Jashin special dropped

How long has this dumbass snake has been going on

?????????? REFERENCE

[echo quiver]

typical self-funded jashin shenanigans

Crowdfunding Campaign for Dropkick on My Devil! Season 4 Raises 115 Million Yen, 387% of Its Goal

praise weebs

now i just need to expand the skeleton knight fanbase so i can get a self-funded season 2 of skeleton knight

ahem. have yall heard of lord ponta, ruler from up high, beloved by canadians, and certified fluff and floof?

[quaint patrol]

oh the miku anime

[flat cedar]

wait it got a s4 on the way?

How the fuck

I BLAME TOURISM

BECAUSE I KNOW AT LEAST 1 OR TWO SEASONS WERE FUNDED BY THE GOVERMENT OF THE PREFECTURES

the season it took place in

So im watching the special

the cow girl had red hair for one bit

and then switched back to blue for the next bit

[echo quiver]

season 3 definitely. i think that was just the sightseeing season

[flat cedar]

the special is post s3

as Jashin mentioned she paid back her debts in the special

plus there's vampires and more

I had an actual laugh

[echo quiver]

these collabs just keep getting weirder and weird- okay, i lied. this is far less weird than ||a vocaloid with a leek||

[flat cedar]

I've seen that season

name of the special

[echo quiver]

oh jinbouchou

[ivory mauve]

Season 2!!!!!!!! HYPE TRAIN

[echo quiver]

gungale?

there's more rabbits than i remember

[ivory mauve]

Oh shit here we go again

[echo quiver]

if she ever goes for a checkup, doctor will have to permanently hospitalize her for record-breaking blood pressure and stress hormones levels

[ivory mauve]

Maki nooooo stop

[echo quiver]

first she dies of stress

now she dies of stress. from not being able to hug her 24/7

i can relate

"so what's this manga about?"
"a screaming child"

[ivory mauve]

Cosmic Censorship be driving maki insane

[echo quiver]

will be interesting if it gets animated

[ivory mauve]

You're not wrong

[echo quiver]

just nonstop screaming from maki's va

[ivory mauve]

LoL yeah

[quaint patrol]

i just read that the ds is 19 years old

i vaporized

[ivory mauve]

I thought it was 25

[boreal oyster]

who ping me

[ivory mauve]

Or was that just the gameboy portable

No one

[boreal oyster]

[ivory mauve]

Go back to sleep

[boreal oyster]

notif gone

Back in my day there was the ATARI GAME System

[silver robin]

old man

[ivory mauve]

I'm only 27ish? I lost count after 2020

[silver robin]

we all did

i thought the old atari stuff was 1970s

[ivory mauve]

They are still around

[silver robin]

i guess so

[ivory mauve]

Some in better condition than others

[silver robin]

i see vids occasionally on YouTube about old game consoles

[ivory mauve]

this is a dumb as fuck design

It's a decorative gift but

does it have to be that bad

[weak glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/passions-tabitha-reaper-sythe-rubber-gif-25294266

Literally this knife

[ivory mauve]

A toddler can snap that in two wtf

[echo quiver]

why give it a blade at all

just go with the floral decoration all the way

[inner sphinx]

Knifen't

[ivory mauve]

Ayo wtf!!!! "Pick me up" new chapter.

[boreal oyster]

who

[ivory mauve]

That's the thing

She only appears like in one chapter in the background.

This whole chapter was only her

[cedar furnace]

I heard that fate is shit. Is it actually shit or was someone lying to me?

[slender skiff]

Someone is absolutely lying to you lmao

[cedar furnace]

Explain plz

[slender skiff]

Well ok, I won't deny that the game is pretty average gameplay wise

But this is the anime channel

And at least for the main fate series works, they tend to all be pretty solid anime

Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works, Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel and the prequel, Fate Zero are all excellent anime

Very well animated, and good story

Fate only becomes an issue if you attempt to delve into the side series or the lore

Because that's when it becomes a rabbit hole

@cedar furnace

[cedar furnace]

I just know...

One sec

[slender skiff]

I'm saying this as someone in said rabbit hole

There's definitely parts of the franchise where it's questionable at best

But to call the whole series shit is like saying Star Wars is shit lmao

[cedar furnace]

Ok it's where a dude shoots his white haired daughter

[slender skiff]

Context be damned, huh

Firstly that's Fate Zero

Second, that's not actually his daughter he's shooting

[silver robin]

ender is this where you link the gigguk video

[slender skiff]

It's an illusion of his daughter

Lmao

[cedar furnace]

Found it

Based man

[slender skiff]

The man is based, very much so

But context matters

[sudden venture]

This entire scene was so fucked up, man

Dude breaking down while he does what needs to be done

[cedar furnace]

I've seen some f'd up scenes before both in media and irl

[weak glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/the-boys-homelander-antony-starr-paranoia-its-not-paranoia-if-theyre-really-out-to-get-you-though-gif-26650969

[slender skiff]

I could go into detail but like

That's drifting into spoiler territory

[silver robin]

||so based that he dies before the stay/night holy grail war starts||

actual spoiler ^^

[weak glacier]

fate was boring

Change my mind

[slender skiff]

I mean he ||literally dies within a year or 2 lmao||

[weak glacier]

Stay/night was good

[slender skiff]

What

[sudden venture]

Speaking of spoilers

[weak glacier]

I watched like 5 seasons

Most of it is talk

[silver robin]

uh

[weak glacier]

So much talking

[silver robin]

stay/night doesn't have 5 seasons

[slender skiff]

We're not watching the same show

[silver robin]

it has 2

[slender skiff]

Lol

[silver robin]

[weak glacier]

I know it has 2

There's too many different versions

I just lump the together

[slender skiff]

That's your problem then

[cedar furnace]

So what's the point if he just kicks the bucket?

[silver robin]

theres stay/night with 2
ubw has 2
heavens feel has 3 movies
apoc i think has 1
fgo has 3 movies or something like that too

[slender skiff]

Because

[weak glacier]

But there is so much talking

[slender skiff]

Zero is the prequel

[weak glacier]

I did watch zero

[cedar furnace]

Ok I see why people really hate fate now

[weak glacier]

And that one that was suppoesed to be "better"

[slender skiff]

Frosty that just means you simply can't process complicated dialogue

[cedar furnace]

How tf do you watch it?

[weak glacier]

I can

[cedar furnace]

You need a chart

[silver robin]

the ones that are animated by studio ufotable, just watch those

[weak glacier]

But I would rather just read the books at this point

[silver robin]

and problem is solved

[slender skiff]

I mean if you did, you would have processed Oshi no Ko

[weak glacier]

OnK ain't that deep

Just a horny man thinking he's on to something

[slender skiff]

Then that means you're shallow

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

[cedar furnace]

Speaking of studios whoever got onimai animated is probably evil

[silver robin]

na

[slender skiff]

I could ask the same of Star Wars

[silver robin]

onimai is glorious

[weak glacier]

My guy, there is 2 types of people in this world
People who think Akame ga Kill is profound
And those who don't care

[slender skiff]

And any similar large media franchise

[cedar furnace]

True

[weak glacier]

Star Wars is pretty linear if you just ignore everything outside of the movies

[slender skiff]

That's precisely the point with Fate

[cedar furnace]

Is the fate chart a line or all over the place?

[slender skiff]

You can just ignore all the side series

[weak glacier]

Problem with fate

[cedar furnace]

Is the femboy

[weak glacier]

Is that it's just different takes with the same stories

[slender skiff]

It isn't

[cedar furnace]

So it gets repetitive

[silver robin]

hes not even in the canon timeline

[slender skiff]

And I question if we watch the same series at this point

[weak glacier]

I did watch Fate

[silver robin]

man has not seen ubw and heavens feel

[slender skiff]

While yes, Unlimited Blade Works and Heavens Feel start in the same situation

The story isn't similar in the slightest

[weak glacier]

You know that reminds me of

Higurashi

[silver robin]

for one theres seggs in heavens feel but not in ubw

[slender skiff]

There is seggs in all the routes if you read the VN Sam

[silver robin]

well yes

but hf is the only route that had it on screen

[slender skiff]

Because

It's actually plot relevant

Who would have thought

Omg

[silver robin]

yes im aware

wow

[weak glacier]

Fate is like Higurashi

[silver robin]

no its not

[slender skiff]

No it isn't

[weak glacier]

Story wise

[silver robin]

unless you mean both are vn = same thing

[slender skiff]

That's the most superficial interpretation ever lmao

[weak glacier]

You start of same, then ends up the same but wacky

[slender skiff]

So Mirai Nikki

[weak glacier]

Man gonna love his trash

[weak glacier]

But Fate is boring

[cedar furnace]

Real history is better

[weak glacier]

Oh and most FGO characters are boring

[slender skiff]

Just because you have the literature interpretation ability of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all do Frosty

[weak glacier]

I'm still mad about that Paul Bunyan characters

[cedar furnace]

Are they one note?

[slender skiff]

No they are not

And FGO is entirely irrelevant to the discussion at hand

Because that's the game

[weak glacier]

I do have deeper understanding for the shows I care about

I can see through the OnK bullshit

[slender skiff]

This one is absolutely fair criticism tho

[weak glacier]

Ignoring the Paul Bunyan is a loli, they forgot Babe

How can you fuck up this up Japan?

[slender skiff]

Fate is only a confusing web of mess if you attempt to watch every single fucking thing

Which is basically what Marvel ended up doing with the MCU

Except they made everything compulsory to watch

Fate is different

[weak glacier]

I don't care much about Fate

Except Saber

[slender skiff]

You can watch what you want to watch

And stop there

[weak glacier]

I tried to see what's up with Fate

I don't just watch what I like

[slender skiff]

There's no need to attempt to entangle the whole web

[weak glacier]

My only admission is Fate/Stay Night was good

[slender skiff]

And in fact

As someone who's in said web

My advise is don't try to entangle it

Unless you really want to get into it

Just stick to Zero, Unlimited Blade Works and Heavens Feel

And that's enough for a cursory glance into the series

[weak glacier]

Like the only fate figure I have outside of like... Ren?

Rin?

Kylo Rin?

[slender skiff]

[ivory mauve]

Oh for the love of

[slender skiff]

I unfortunately do not have that much disposable income to spend on that many figurines

[weak glacier]

I did not spend $100 to get ryuuko figma

[thorny nest]

I totally forgot how many times issei died in the early episodes of hsdxd

[slender skiff]

Well ok I actually do, I just don't see the point in getting that many

[weak glacier]

I have too many waifus

[cedar furnace]

I need so find out what to do with a figure that I was accidentally sent

[weak glacier]

You ask me my favorite, I give like 10 to choose from

[thorny nest]

there can never be too many

[slender skiff]

But peepo

You can absolutely get too many figures

[cedar furnace]

Who's your favorite

[slender skiff]

That's how you go broke

[thorny nest]

[slender skiff]

[weak glacier]

[thorny nest]

cant go broke when you're already broke

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

You can go into debt instead

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

Which is arguably worse

[weak glacier]

I got preapproved for credit card

[thorny nest]

I'm a student, so yeah it's bad

[slender skiff]

Relatable

I work full time and study part time

[weak glacier]

I have a stack of figures behind me

unopened

They were selling for $5 each instead of $25

Man they got discounted hard

[slender skiff]

So while I do have money
It still needs to go to school funds

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

Or well

Just savings

[thorny nest]

I started studying in 2018, I'm now at a point to get my last practical project (in partnership with a company) + bachelor thesis? (is it really the right term?) in the same company approved

[slender skiff]

Cost of living here is ridiculous

[thorny nest]

then I'm finally free

[weak glacier]

Redoing my whole shelf

I have to lower to a) fit more figures b) to install lights

[slender skiff]

I sincerely hope that wooden shelf isn't bending

[weak glacier]

Oh it isn't

Figures are not that heavy

[slender skiff]

And it's just the light

[weak glacier]

The bookshelf on the left

Has like over 150 pounds of books or something

[slender skiff]

It does look like solid wood

[weak glacier]

Keep in mind, theres more underneath

Oh it ain't solid

It's that laminated wood

I think it is sagging a bit

I weighed my JP books, and they in total around 70 pounds

And the English copies are even heavier

[slender skiff]

Yeah chipboard do be like that

[thorny nest]

yea that's a sign to get a second shelf

[cedar furnace]

Is that the girl from Visions?

[weak glacier]

yep

And my worst purchase

Fucking bandai

[weak glacier]

"get another shelf"

My guy

I'm almost built out

[cedar furnace]

I'd say my figure is a bad purchase but I didn't even buy it it was sent to me by accident

[thorny nest]

get another one, you have space

[weak glacier]

I'm going to build custom furniture

Building storage under my detolfs and extending my bookshelf

Considering buying a fourth detolf

[thorny nest]

well if you can build them yourself

[weak glacier]

I can

I'm more smarter than Ender gives me credit for

[thorny nest]

[cedar furnace]

@weak glacier

[weak glacier]

Every profound statement is followed by 20 weird assertions

[ivory mauve]

https://youtu.be/QrRd7GaxMpA?si=ZuagCpzgJiLwJNxt
What if we fused sub and dub

[weak glacier]

Askin Japan to go the extra mile for creative endeavors, is asking too much

Japan makes beautiful anime with the worst writingf

How

I've seen stick figure fights more compelling than some anime stories

I know that's apples and oranges

[ivory mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bean-gif-5958854468941694453

[weak glacier]

Ok I'm curious how many writers work on a show

[cedar furnace]

Or just straight up disgusting

[weak glacier]

Like 1? 2? 4? A dozen?

[thorny nest]

poor guy only wanted to give up

[ivory mauve]

He didn't know how to say up

[weak glacier]

I wonder how many writers transfomers had

[cedar furnace]

On this page, millions of sky striker players cried out in agony

Shit is still funny even a year later

[weak glacier]

I know in live action

They have each episode has their own writer

[cedar furnace]

Also I don't speak or read Japanese but the translation is "HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY RAYE"

[weak glacier]

Good lord

That is just Batman Beyond's writing staff

[cedar furnace]

Amazing show

[weak glacier]

And they went through 6 directors

[thorny nest]

"uncredited"

wow

[weak glacier]

HOL UP

Guys

Get this

The guy who worked on Lupin III directed some batman beyond episodes

I wonder...

So this is KLK writing department

Essentially just one guy and a pen

Interesting, they're is a lot of "directors"

I am so confused

[cedar furnace]

You know I really hate lolicons

Like cartman hates hippies

[thorny nest]

that came out of nowhere

[weak glacier]

I picked KLK because it was originmal

[cedar furnace]

I'm that type of guy

[weak glacier]

Picking on OnK writing department is low hanging fruit

And also it's not original

[cedar furnace]

The idol show where an en va was bullied online because of how she voiced a character?

[weak glacier]

DAMN BOY

[silver robin]

yea cause theres both an overall director, and episode director

[weak glacier]

Don't ask me

I'm not the OnK guy

[cedar furnace]

Is that ender?

[weak glacier]

Makes sense, but why the lack of writers

[thorny nest]

sam is here

[weak glacier]

I remember Batman Beyond kept showing new writers for each episode

After the titlecard there was "written by" and each name was different

Maybe because the writers are unionized or some shit?

[cedar furnace]

https://youtu.be/ORUsyCNjevM?si=LUy6uFvYSRbPsYfi

[weak glacier]

Here's the list of avatar writers

[thorny nest]

I think it's more like give each writer more time individually so they can produce higher quality instead of a rushed product

[weak glacier]

I mean

Is it because anime is already layed out before they start doing it?

[cedar furnace]

I love this self aware humor

[weak glacier]

But that would not make sense for something like One Piece

[cedar furnace]

Or they're just underpaid

[weak glacier]

Here's the One Piece writing staff

I think I have it kinda figured out

My theory or speculation

I believe it has to do with the preproduction phase

I believe cartoons are responsive to audience demands so they write as they go

While most anime is already planned out before they start producing it

Just a theory

🤔

Still doesn't answer the one aspect of my question

[silver robin]

i think thats right

even with original anime, the main story points are set in stone

[weak glacier]

The problem is, I do faintly remember Hasbro was notorious for writing stories on the fly to try to sell toys

GI Joe, transformers (not G1 iirc), and Inhumanoids (the forgotten one)

Hasbro gave up half way through the production and told the writers to YOLO it

So Inhumanoids ended up having a very political ending

A big fuck you to big corpo and politicians

For a kids show

[cedar furnace]

Same with the dub of gx season 3. The self awareness is abridged level humor and its great

[weak glacier]

"kids toy"

"kids show"

Still not as Courage the Cowardly levels bad

[thorny nest]

dunno 80s and 90s "kid's shows" were quite different

[weak glacier]

Depends

Thanks to reagan

I will firmly believe Reagan is responsible for the creation of Transformers and GI Joe

[thorny nest]

I dont mind transformers tho

[weak glacier]

For context, you couldn't sell toys until Reagan forced the FCC to remove those rules

[cedar furnace]

Clone wars: Turns Geneva convention into a checklist

[weak glacier]

Cable was controlled by the FCC because they were use "public frequencies"

That changed later on

and we got HBO because of it

[thorny nest]

jokes on you, kids wouldnt even know what the geneva convention is so the shows would be fine for them

[weak glacier]

Come to think

[cedar furnace]

Lmao

[weak glacier]

Tom and Jerry is more violent than Akame ga Kill

Perhaps my hottest take

Difference is, Tom and Jerry is not sadistic

Jerry trying to make it out of the hood

[thorny nest]

isnt it the same for donald duck? gets made fun of for his speech a lot and just has to suffer anyway

[weak glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-and-jerry-bullets-my-eyes-tom-and-jerry-cartoon-tom-and-jerry-fight-gif-13792734623086769283

I mean, cartoons were wild in the 40s=50s

[thorny nest]

yea

[weak glacier]

Good lord

[thorny nest]

that reminds me, were there a lot of those scenes frosty and wouldnt that imply the itchy and scratchy shorts in the simpsons are just a reference to t&j?

[weak glacier]

🤔

Never really watched the simpsons

I would have to see it to know

[thorny nest]

I mean it has the same kind of "story" as in the gif you posted

[weak glacier]

oh

Probably

They animators and writers probably slept together at some point

There is wild connections to some shows

[thorny nest]

they're just family

[weak glacier]

You know the band Aqua>

[thorny nest]

barbiegirl?

[weak glacier]

Yeah

The bald guy composed music for a dutch kids show

And the band's first song was Itzy Bitzy Spider

[thorny nest]

he probably had enough of that

[slender skiff]

I agree, this might be your hottest take

[cedar furnace]

What's the worst anime you guys have seen and/or heard of?

[slender skiff]

The difference is when your violence is used for comedy

Compared to violence is used for... Shock

[weak glacier]

Add some blood spots and T&J would definitely beat Akame

[cedar furnace]

Yuta beating the shit out of the eye patch girl was funny but it got old

[slender skiff]

It's like with 3 stooges

[weak glacier]

You know my answer, but I'll give you another

[slender skiff]

Dudes went to hospital on the regular just to make their gags look more realistic (in other words, they hurt)

[weak glacier]

Man was a trooper

[cedar furnace]

What is it?

[weak glacier]

Honestly

[weak glacier]

Sing Yesterday for Me

[slender skiff]

Worst anime I've heard of in terms of animation would be ex-arm

[weak glacier]

I rate that lower than OnK

[slender skiff]

In terms of stuff I've actually seen, Kiznaiver

[weak glacier]

There is something I hate more than OnK

At least OnK has the benefit of me not watching the anime

Sing Yesterday for Me I actually watched

I tried giving it the benefit of the doubt

And the manage to get worse

Like there's trash, and there's "I physically can't write a good story"

[slender skiff]

Like if you want to know how bad the animation for ex-arm is

https://youtu.be/I4x0jTcxx1k?si=brBz0GUcx7W9pHgV

Just... Watch this

[weak glacier]

Ex-Arm is low hanging fruit

[slender skiff]

I mean I did say animation wise

[weak glacier]

True, true

[slender skiff]

Story wise is another ball game altogether

[cedar furnace]

Heard of (but have seen clips screenshots and plot summary): onimai
Seen: Kantai Collection
Heard of but know very little about: Jobless Rencarnation (but it had intrigued me)
Worst show from a series I like: ARC V holy shit it feel off

[weak glacier]

Has more substance than some stuff

Not saying much

[slender skiff]

Onimai... As weird as the premise is

Is actually a genuinely good series

[cedar furnace]

Forcing a dude to become a girl

Tf

Like why?

[slender skiff]

My dude, there are many worse things in anime out there

[cedar furnace]

True

[weak glacier]

Although Seven Deadly Sins (not that one) is actually trash, but I still like it

[thorny nest]

probably school days

[slender skiff]

And I feel that judging onimai based on that premise alone, is doing it great injustice

I won't deny it is weird af

[weak glacier]

Some guy rated school days 8/10 and keijo a 5/10 or lower can't remember

[thorny nest]

tho seikon no qwaser was bad af too

[slender skiff]

But honestly, teaching a shut-in how to behave in society is

It hits hard

Even if most of us aren't that level of shut-in

[weak glacier]

HOW MANY FUCKING IMAGES I POSTED HERE

[cedar furnace]

No its other things... the clips, screenshot (which I can't show), the girl who grooms the kid

[thorny nest]

not enough

[slender skiff]

First thing

[slender skiff]

That's his younger sister

[cedar furnace]

There's MUCH better ways of doing that

[slender skiff]

The younger sister is the one who made him into a girl

[cedar furnace]

why am I not suprised

[slender skiff]

And no, absolutely no grooming bullshit happened

[cedar furnace]

Thank god

[slender skiff]

Ok well

Grooming in the sense of, teaching one how to properly dress up, yes

Grooming in terms of the sexual assault shit, no

[cedar furnace]

There it is

[cedar furnace]

Good

[slender skiff]

It's... Unexpectedly very wholesome

Despite the circumstances

[cedar furnace]

Long story but I don't wanna go into gender political stuff

[slender skiff]

I mean

[cedar furnace]

Does he stay a she?

[slender skiff]

The series is still ongoing to my knowledge

So I cannot comment there

[cedar furnace]

Ah

[slender skiff]

And this isn't about gender politics or anything

But I do understand why a lot of people are apprehensive about this anime

[weak glacier]

Oh my

[slender skiff]

It definitely isn't bad by any means

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

Idk

[weak glacier]

I remember that tangent

[slender skiff]

I feel like South Park isn't South Park without the original VAs

[cedar furnace]

I am because it's scarred me and it's unnerving

[weak glacier]

I mean, the jokes can't really be translated

[slender skiff]

Same with SpongeBob

[weak glacier]

Like I get it monogatari will never be dubbed

[slender skiff]

And I have deen SpongeBob dubbed in JP

It is a weird experience

[cedar furnace]

I got an example of that one sec

[weak glacier]

I don't know how they translated king of the hill to Japanese

[slender skiff]

Not well probably

[weak glacier]

It's too coloqual to do it

[cedar furnace]

https://youtu.be/CSd48dYT36o?si=4I-bUapXRKe2pPFs

[slender skiff]

Exactly

[cedar furnace]

Comments have context

[slender skiff]

Also I'm assuming you meant colloquial

[weak glacier]

yeah

I can't spell

[cedar furnace]

Me neither

[slender skiff]

I sorta get the joke here

[weak glacier]

But people forget rice paddies didn't really exist in America so that's why 4kids dubbed tha infamous line

[slender skiff]

But this is where it's more ideal to just change the dialogue entirely

[weak glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/jelly-filled-donut-brock-food-donuts-pokemon-gif-11822781

[slender skiff]

I won't deny that I'm generally a sub>dub person

[weak glacier]

Did they do that in P&G

[slender skiff]

But that doesn't mean I can't appreciate good dubbing for what it's worth

[cedar furnace]

Yeah. Because the "play on words" joke from the Japanese version doesn't work here so they just changed it

[slender skiff]

I haven't watched P&G so can't comment

[weak glacier]

I watch primarily dub because I am a slow reader

[cedar furnace]

I watch dubs cuz I like understanding

[weak glacier]

Also I'm usually doing 3 different things at once

Only longer shows I tend to go off and do different things

[slender skiff]

This is perfectly fair

My mom is the same

She just can't read subs fast enough

[weak glacier]

Also dyslexia

[slender skiff]

Ah that absolutely doesn't help

[slender skiff]

Eh...

If you're a perfectly abled body person, it shouldn't be an issue either way

Unless well, you're illiterate I suppose

[cedar furnace]

Also it feels like if I wanna read I'll read a book

[slender skiff]

But in that case you probably have more important issues than watching TV

[cedar furnace]

I'm a wee bit autistic. And no I'm not joking

[slender skiff]

Well it is a spectrum

Different people have different abilities

There are people I know with Autism who are perfectly fine with subs

[cedar furnace]

Anyways what's the reason people are talking about this thing called Jobless Rencarnation

[slender skiff]

So

To summarise why this anime gets into a lot of controversy

Is because while the MC has evolved in terms of most of his personality/personal issues

He is... Quite the pervert to say the least

[cedar furnace]

All I know is: dude jerks off to his niece and creator said something about slavery (I'll try and find the quote)

[slender skiff]

Tut tut tut

I don't remember much about the first bit (cos it's wrong lmao)

And the second bit was a tweet taken out of context

With all nuance lost in translation

Who would have thought

[cedar furnace]

Well its hard when it goes through two languages in different language categories

[slender skiff]

I mean I won't deny that this series has some

Questionable moments

[cedar furnace]

Examples?

[slender skiff]

But hey if China is fine with it, I don't see why the West isn't

[cedar furnace]

Well thats a shock

[slender skiff]

It did get taken down for a bit after one angry viewer reported it

But it was reinstated so

Govt approved kekw

[cedar furnace]

They banned kancolle or something like that but then again it could be due to the IJN being protrayed in a positive light and the other stuff

[slender skiff]

That's definitely the reason why

They're more concerned with politics

As opposed to questionable content

[slender skiff]

There's too many to list tbh

[cedar furnace]

I remember hearing about how some dudes were watching it or playing the game illegally and then they got arested

[cedar furnace]

Oh

[slender skiff]

But it can be summarised by saying he's a horni mofo

[cedar furnace]

Is he you know

[slender skiff]

[cedar furnace]

Like em young?

[cedar furnace]

Sorry it was a typo

[slender skiff]

Before he reincarnated

Yes

After reincanated

[cedar furnace]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so that's where the niece thing comes from

[slender skiff]

While his thoughts definitely ran in that direction (when he was in the body of a child)

Which I do think is questionable

[cedar furnace]

Ran in what direction?

[slender skiff]

He never actually acted on those impulses until he reached teenage age

I mean he definitely eyed his female childhood friends I mean

When he was a child himself

Despite ofc, having the mind of an adult

That's what people take issue with

And I don't deny, that's a valid concern to have

For me, I interpreted it as more of

Yes, this is absolutely not the kind of thoughts he should have. It's fucked up.
But that's the point of the damn story - a person who was that fucked up in his previous life as an adult isn't gonna change his way of thinking that easily

Even if he died and got the chance to reincanate

It's fair criticism to level at the series yes, especially if you only viewed it superficially like the average viewer will

But if you consider it with some depth well

[cedar furnace]

So it's about a terrible person becoming better?

[mellow dagger]

Hi

[slender skiff]

Jobless Reincanation, or Mushoku Tensei, is the story of how this really fucked up guy in his previous life, got a chance to redeem himself, and his journey to grow up as a person (literally and figuratively)

It's not all sunshine and roses, people can't just completely change overnight, and someone as messed up as him isn't gonna change that quickly

[cedar furnace]

Sup

[mellow dagger]

Hru?

I just joined like a few secs ago

[slender skiff]

There are many lessons that he should have learnt in his previous life, that he's still learning late into his second life

Even as late as 23

[cedar furnace]

So if anyone says that they relate to him that's probably bad

Right?

[slender skiff]

99% of the time yes

Because I feel deep down, there are small parts in every one of us that are like him

Not in terms of the horni don't get me wrong

I mean in terms of the insecurities

The whole major plot point of first arc, was that his first teacher after being reincanated managed to get him over his fear of "being outside his house"

Which stemmed from his previous life experiences

[quaint patrol]

but also in terms of the horny

but dont get me wrong

[slender skiff]

But yeah it's absolutely not a show for everyone

I won't deny that

It's a show that I do think one has to have some level of maturity to appreciate

I certainly would not have been able to appreciate it when I first started watching anime proper as a 17-18 YO

[silver robin]

i think its more that he realizes that he can magic and magic is pogu

[quaint patrol]

wtf?

that's closer to the setting of the world than a plot point

[cedar furnace]

That we sometimes need a second chance even though we dont deserve it?

[slender skiff]

I mean yes, the magic was the other half of the arc

[quaint patrol]

that we can make more of second chances

and rudeus' "second life" can still be fucked up

[slender skiff]

Partly this

[slender skiff]

Also partly this

But also that a second chance doesn't mean that everything will go... Right

Changing yourself isn't easy

It's really difficult if anything

[quaint patrol]

ye i agree

[slender skiff]

And I think that is absolutely something that everyone can relate to

And change starts by getting the balls to accept and admit that you fucked up

Which is a very simple step that a lot of people fail to do

[silver robin]

its not the acceptance, its the ability to act

at least imo

[slender skiff]

That's after accepting that you've fucked up

[silver robin]

yes

[slender skiff]

If you don't even accept you won't do anything to change

[silver robin]

i think most people admit they fucked up

[slender skiff]

Tho yes, making said change is the most difficult part

But if you stumble at the starting block welll

[silver robin]

or even if they don't say it publically they realize it internally

[slender skiff]

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

Ok tbh I feel like I'm making Mushoku sound a lot deeper than it (probably) is

But that is how one would look at it from a more literary perspective

Sometimes I wonder if I should have taken literature over the sciences...

I personally don't get/feel Mushoku on a strong level

But I do know of people that have

[weak glacier]

I just know Mushoku tenbsei is the slavery anime or some other aninme

[slender skiff]

No that's Shield Hero

[weak glacier]

I don't remember

Oh

[slender skiff]

And I don't mean it unironically

[weak glacier]

?

[slender skiff]

People do label Mushoku as the "slavery anime"

Even tho Shield Hero is significantly worse in that regard

[weak glacier]

You know, I always hated how Japan handle slavery

[slender skiff]

Although it's subverted really

[weak glacier]

Slavery is a very touchy subject to Americans

I don't know about SEA

[slender skiff]

It's easier to feel about it when you're the victim

[quaint patrol]

mushoku does have a slavery arc

[weak glacier]

But to endorse or use slavery as a means to good is very insulting to most Americans

[quaint patrol]

that isnt the dwarf but

the slavery arc in mushoku is treated like necessary commerce

[slender skiff]

That one is more Pursena and Linia being absolute clowns

And ending up in penal slavery

[quaint patrol]

that one? I meant the one in the cities

[weak glacier]

Again, to use in any excuse to justify slavery is enough to get Americans upset
