anime-manga

[weak glacier]

I'm not even joking

[quaint patrol]

I believe it's the P guy's side story

i dont remember his name

[slender skiff]

Yeah Americans tend to be more touchy about it

[weak glacier]

Slavery is very big subject

[quaint patrol]

the guy who was roxy's second pupil

[weak glacier]

I've done multiple projects and studies here

[slender skiff]

Because it created a divide that still exists in the US today

For most other countries tho

Moved on

Or were the victims to begin with

[weak glacier]

So for anime to treat it as a force of good or so nonchantantly is insulting

[weak glacier]

People don't realize their is a slavery exception clause in the constituional amendment

I believe the 18th amendment

[quaint patrol]

what a start

[weak glacier]

wrong amendment

That's the alchol ban

[quaint patrol]

oh it's Pax

[slender skiff]

And many Japanese, Mushoku's author included absolutely don't give a fuck about how the people outside Japan feel

[quaint patrol]

that's good

[slender skiff]

Because it's not their target audience

[weak glacier]

And that's the achille's heel of Japanese media

[silver robin]

slavery is the 13th amendment

[quaint patrol]

whenever i see sensitivity complaints, i can only imagine it as satire

[slender skiff]

I mean Frosty

[weak glacier]

I should have known that

[slender skiff]

From my view

As someone who lives in SEA

I struggle to understand why guns are such a thing the US

[silver robin]

its cause of the revolution

[slender skiff]

... actually, I think that goes for most developed countries actually

[quaint patrol]

it's cause of regions

[silver robin]

if you own weapons you can defend your property

[quaint patrol]

wtf you mean revolution

[weak glacier]

It's easy to understand... Americans didn't really have a government and essentially you had to protect yourself

[silver robin]

revolutionary war

[slender skiff]

The US is the only country with such a fantasy with guns

[silver robin]

american revolution

[quaint patrol]

imagine dearming in detroit

[weak glacier]

You didn't have "organized" countries during the colonial era

It was just mix of lands and cities

[slender skiff]

It's not

[silver robin]

cause in other countries the government either bought back the guns or people are responsible

[slender skiff]

Again, I'm literally not an American

[weak glacier]

You had to defend yourself

[slender skiff]

And I doubt even half of Americans understand the original point of that rule/clause

[weak glacier]

And also the idea self-governance is a huge thing here

[silver robin]

no we had a government

[weak glacier]

You see, there is one comma

[silver robin]

its just protection so we can rise up if we hate the government

theoretically

[weak glacier]

People interpret the two halves differently

[slender skiff]

But yeah we going into the political discourse here

[weak glacier]

The whole "militia" part throws everyone for a loop

[slender skiff]

My point was more fundamental

[weak glacier]

So here's the thing

Japan is probably gonna have to give a fuck about the west pretty soon

[silver robin]

tldr americans like guns cause freedom

[slender skiff]

Turns out different things are interpreted differently in different countries

[quaint patrol]

im american but i dont rly wanna defend my fellows

[slender skiff]

Just like how the EU really doesn't like monopolies

[quaint patrol]

cause they dont feel like fellows

[silver robin]

soon keeps getting pushed back and back

[slender skiff]

^

[weak glacier]

Y'all forget anime is going global

[silver robin]

barely any studios really care

[weak glacier]

Not just SEA

[slender skiff]

But overseas sales make a small portion of the revenue

[weak glacier]

Who knows

[slender skiff]

It's not who knows

[quaint patrol]

frosty pls

[slender skiff]

It's a fact

[quaint patrol]

at least keep defending your point

[slender skiff]

Lmao

[quaint patrol]

instead of "nah idk dont need to keep pushing"

[weak glacier]

I'm sure global will surpass Japan in next 10 years

Bet

[silver robin]

nintendo went global and yet they still keep pushing jp copyright laws whenever they feel like it

[slender skiff]

In terms of audience numbers? Global will absolutely overtake

[weak glacier]

You know you'd made if global when Walmart sells your merch

[slender skiff]

In terms of BD sales, good luck

[quaint patrol]

spy x family is alot more massive than i thought when i saw it in some stores in mall of america here

[weak glacier]

ngl, Mexico probably cared more about DBZ than Japan

[silver robin]

holy midwest

[quaint patrol]

it was listed alongside DBZ and demon slayer i think

or was it jjk

[weak glacier]

Spy x Family is probably gonna keep western audience in mind, like MHA

I didn't realize how big Death Note was

Until Walmart was carrying their stuff

[silver robin]

i went to a barnes and nobles and they literally had a sign saying "dont take manga outside of the manga section without buying it first" but they didn't have that for other sections

[slender skiff]

It might be a surprise

[weak glacier]

Manga readers are whole nother bread breed

[silver robin]

says you

[weak glacier]

I mean

I do have a shelf

[slender skiff]

But anime that tend to do well in the west are usually either not-japanese-like at all or are very stereotypically Japanese

[weak glacier]

It's not a surprise

[slender skiff]

There's no middle ground

[weak glacier]

I think it's mostly because

[silver robin]

the middle ground are the unpopular series

[weak glacier]

Japan tends to fetish/sexualize things a bit too much for American tastes

[silver robin]

not especially

mate did you see oppenheimer

[weak glacier]

Biggest complaint I hear is the sexualization part

[silver robin]

its moreso that its lolis

if lolis didn't exist we wouldn't have this issue

[quaint patrol]

americans dont believe in petites

smhmhmh

[weak glacier]

True true

Same reason why I love MILFs

Daphnie was my first crush

And she isn't a MILF

[quaint patrol]

the recent trend of massive honkadonks actualy

[quaint patrol]

just turned me off against big boobs

i dont like it anymore

[silver robin]

ive always been a medium is premium

[weak glacier]

I like vanilla girls

Looks wise

Deredere is my favorite type

I need chaotic energy in my life

All I do is deal with annoying "clients"

YES LADY, IT COSTS $20 TO SHIP THIS PACKAGE

"hurr durr gonna go the post office for cheaper"

"COOL, IDGAF"

Rinse and repeat

[slender skiff]

And yet we live in an age where even Scooby doo is ruined

[weak glacier]

That's factually wrong

[quaint patrol]

was it black daphne

[weak glacier]

Hol up

[quaint patrol]

no black shaggy

[weak glacier]

elma

[slender skiff]

Velma

[quaint patrol]

oh

[weak glacier]

That was just one off thing

[quaint patrol]

black shaggy would be kinda dope

[silver robin]

whoever approved it deserves to get fired

[weak glacier]

There was a couple of amazing shows/movies made

[slender skiff]

That's not my point

The issue is moreso, that's what people will remember now

Just like how people only remember teen titans go

And not the original cartoon

Which still depresses me to this day

[weak glacier]

HOLY SHIT

[quaint patrol]

dw ender

i am old enough to ahve watched teen titans

[weak glacier]

These are all guest on Scooby Doo

[slender skiff]

That's.... Quite the cast tbh

[silver robin]

sorry ender im in that category

[quaint patrol]

sam's a zoomer

[slender skiff]

I can tell

[silver robin]

so are you

[quaint patrol]

at least i watched original teen titans

[weak glacier]

Here's the other

[silver robin]

guest apperances aren't special

[quaint patrol]

macklemore and bill nye huh

and mark hamil

[slender skiff]

Bill Nye I expected

Macklemore tho

If he wasn't in some thrift shop we riot

[silver robin]

probably used one of his songs for a joke if i had to guess

[weak glacier]

They did trebek good

Rest in piece

[slender skiff]

Guess the t-shirt he bought from the thrift shop was haunted

[weak glacier]

Also the Hex Girls made in an appearance

this is in 2020 btw

ngl

Hex girls might been my second crush

https://tenor.com/view/scooby-doo-the-hex-girls-we-may-look-bad-but-we-dont-care-we-do-not-care-gif-21828833

Totally my type

Yooo abe lincoln was in there too

ngl

I wonder how many episodes scooby doo produced

[slender skiff]

A lot lmao

Wait

Tara Strong voiced Miss Minutes in Loki?

Wtf

[weak glacier]

Honestly, this is fire

But real G's know Zombie Island

and Cyber Chase

GOD HOW MUCH SCOOBY DOO DID I WATCH?

[slender skiff]

Probably as much as the amount you've spent on all your figurines

[weak glacier]

@slender skiff

[boreal oyster]

valid

[weak glacier]

[boreal oyster]

this indeed is fire

[slender skiff]

Green fire but yes

[boreal oyster]

green fire

contains mold

pls bleach the fire

[weak glacier]

Good lord

I did not realize how much Scooby Doo content I consumed

And keep in mind

I at least seen What's a New Scooby Doo 4 times over

Man I had so much free time

I think it's safe to say

That uh

checks anilist

🤔

It's equal to 1/4 of all the anime content I consumed

[boreal oyster]

snooby

[weak glacier]

Probably the same amount by the amount of rewatches

I gone mental

@thorn briar I can't make fun of you for conan anymore

[thorn briar]

Why

[weak glacier]

#anime-manga message

[thorn briar]

I thought it was just a 1 season

[weak glacier]

You didn't know there was different shows?

[thorn briar]

No

Only 1 was dubbed

[weak glacier]

oh

[thorn briar]

But , idk which one

[weak glacier]

I mean

There isn't much intersection between scooby doo and middle eastern culture

It's literally about American teenagers chasing goobers in costumes

Honestly

Shiro

Scooby doo might be good for you

[thorn briar]

I don't want to watch it

[weak glacier]

☑️ No death ☑️ Compelling mysteries ☑️ Quirky

idk what other qualities you strive for a mystery

Also, how can be against death, but have sadists for your waifus?

[slender skiff]

I get where you're coming from

But they're not the same things

[boreal oyster]

[thorn briar]

I'm okay with characters dying, but Pandora hearts was my 1st manga that it had most of the characters dying

[weak glacier]

So you just don't like the nuclear option

[thorn briar]

So , it actually broke me emotionally

To this day

For 4 years

[boreal oyster]

i have my bet on akame ga kill for the most killed main cast

[weak glacier]

[thorn briar]

It's not

Pandora hearts literally kept 3 people alive in the last chapter

[weak glacier]

DIdn't like... Fury had more MCs die?

[slender skiff]

Depends on the definition of a main cast

[thorn briar]

[slender skiff]

That's the deciding factor

Like in AgK case

Do you count Scheele and Bulat as part of the main cast?

[boreal oyster]

🦅

[slender skiff]

Even tho they died in like the first 10 eps?

[thorn briar]

I remember shipping break with Sharon , but later on Sharon said she considered break as her older brother

[slender skiff]

And in Pandora hearts case

Isn't it more so that the entire world went poof

[thorn briar]

Yes

Twice

All cause of jack

[boreal oyster]

@ jack15145

bro what did you do

[thorn briar]

And his werid love for lacie

[slender skiff]

Yeah so then it boils down to

What is the definition of a main cast

Is your main cast the protagonist and the deutragonist?

Does it include your antagonist?

Does it include the protagonist allies?

[boreal oyster]

[slender skiff]

Until you define what a main cast is, it's hard to come to an answer

And even if you come to an answer

What's the metric

Raw numbers or proportion of the cast

[thorn briar]

The antagonist was Jack and the funny thing that was the mangaka made us like him at the beginning

[boreal oyster]

i lost the bet
here my bet
doro plush pic

[thorn briar]

There is something that I'm still mad about in pandora hearts beside Jack

[boreal oyster]

yourself?

[slender skiff]

Doro go away

Not here too

[weak glacier]

They're all MCs in my heart

[slender skiff]

Then at this point I have to ask what's the definition of main

[weak glacier]

Whatever I pick

Don't ask me to provide reviews

It's a yes, no, or I forgot

Ask me to elaborate, I say "it was good"

As you can see, I am very constructive

[thorn briar]

Which was stated in the manga that they sealed oswald's soul after cutting Jack's body into parts and made pillars for it , so u need to break them all to get oswald's soul back , but the last one had oswald's head

[boreal oyster]

where review

🏃‍♂️

[weak glacier]

I think I once wrote in my reviews, "Fuck this show, I hate it. Don't watch it", or maybe that was in my notes

[thorn briar]

And Jack the trash was lying

[weak glacier]

Not in my mind that's for sure

[thorn briar]

[weak glacier]

I only rate shows if I remember

[thorn briar]

And this is what made me have a hated anime character for the 1st time

[weak glacier]

I forgot

I did not leave any reviews

Just numbers

I don't even remember reasons why I gave some of these numbers

@slender skiff Should I be trusted?

[thorn briar]

I remember now that I felt bad for Charlotte cause she liked oswald

[slender skiff]

This is a good attitude to have

[slender skiff]

But no I wouldn't trust you for recommendations

At least personally

[weak glacier]

My recommendations are either the best and the worst, no in betweens

I have Future Diary on the same level as FLCL

And Kiznaiver same level as Akame

[boreal oyster]

give me winter recommendations

[weak glacier]

This season?

None of the dubs finished

[boreal oyster]

winter dawg

[weak glacier]

Shows that take place in winter?

I gues Karin

[boreal oyster]

January to March

[weak glacier]

Oh

I'll have to see the roster

[boreal oyster]

no ecchi

[weak glacier]

The Witch and the Beast
Metallic Rouge
Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!
Urusei Yatsura Season 2 (a definite watch for me)
The Apothecary Diaries
Frieren

Are probably gonna be what I'll be watching

Classroom of elite is an absolute pass for me

You know what

A Sign of Affection, I'll throw that in the list of to watch

But hold up

You know what

🤔

Yeah, I'll go for it

[thorn briar]

No

And actually my friends in high school recommended Pandora hearts to me after it was done

[silver robin]

one sec

[silver robin]

not including sequels, we have
mato seihei no slave
instant death isekai
solo leveling (mainly to see how average it is kek)
sengoku youko

plus the stuff frosty listed although hokkaido gals is def a watch 1 episode and go from there

my sleeper hit senses are on instant death isekai

[quaint patrol]

im a bit pensive about mato

if the scenes arent good then it will fall super flat

the lewd scenes

[slender skiff]

Throw in Dungeon Meshi

[quaint patrol]

the fuck kinda chapter am i about to read

[slender skiff]

Tho to be real, I'm more excited for the sequels

Ignoring cote

[quaint patrol]

This is the intro to adamg extra for awholesome manhwa

sad backstories tho

[slender skiff]

Mashle, Tomozaki, Bokuyaba, Ritt & Red, Urusei Yatsura, Great Pretender

Heck, even blue exorcist

[stable herald]

What manhwa is this lmao

Korean Berserk?

[quaint patrol]

something woof woof

she a girl

also a qt

[quaint patrol]

beware the villainess

[stable herald]

How tf i didnt got that

Its chapter 102 right?

Oh wait

Wrong manhwa

The one I was thinking is kill the villainess

[quaint patrol]

sounds like "death is the only ending for the villainess"

frankly

these manhua are also pretty bad plot and story

but the character designs and memes are soooo good

[solid nebula]

... I know the next two images

What the fuck have you brought upon this cursed land

Why, why would you. That thing is far worse than people make it out to be

[stable herald]

Oh fuck

Dont tell me.....

[solid nebula]

Yeah, I'll send you a Reddit link from good old nikke

[stable herald]

sauce onegai

[ivory mauve]

Cosmic Censorship

[stable herald]

[ivory mauve]

Also

Twisted. Everyone is twisted

[stable herald]

I cried

[boreal oyster]

[flat cedar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5zykPRsWUc

[slender skiff]

Stream to commemorate end of S2?

[flat cedar]

idk

[cedar furnace]

Who dat

[thorn briar]

I know why hahari's dog was mad in the in the ep that was last week

It was the same dog that vermouth took in conan movie 26

[slender skiff]

Same doggo

[thorn briar]

[thorn briar]

I never expected her fans wanting to be this dog

I was her fan , but what she did to Mary made me love her less

[cedar furnace]

I bought another deck

[quaint patrol]

MASHAAAAAA

[quaint patrol]

so V7 ending, there's a sidestory where ||masachika was dancing with ayano in a flashback, and short to say the author is broadcasting an ayano romance arc||

[slender skiff]

Wait as in ||the emotionless meido?||

[quaint patrol]

yea

[slender skiff]

Oho

That would be interesting to see

https://vxtwitter.com/tenacitysaho/status/1740258995598922026?s=19

In the meantime let's enjoy this

[quaint patrol]

in that story ||masachika is the usual prodigy, and ayano is messing up her dancing. when ayano messes up too many times, masachika says "But i like dancing with you" and some other lovey lines in innocence||

[slender skiff]

Aaaaah

[quaint patrol]

hopefully the manga is more than just an advertisement production

I want them to make more

[thorn briar]

Conan shippers are shipping gin with ran

I will continue rewatching conan later

Now for no longer human

[silver robin]

owo

[thorny nest]

they are shipping something else in their brains

[thorn briar]

[zinc lance]

an axe made of pure gold?

[thorn briar]

We can sell this axe to get money

[thorny nest]

[thorn briar]

Wtf , dazai's 1st suicide was with a married woman that he loved

[thorny nest]

1st?

[thorn briar]

Yes

[thorny nest]

[thorn briar]

He wants to kill himself now

In his book which is no longer human

[zinc lance]

well that axe would fold into itself with the first swing latest considering how soft pure gold is

[thorny nest]

that's why u sell it

[ivory mauve]

The inquisitor! He's back

[trim swan]

s(he)

[flat cedar]

cute

[trim swan]

he's 🥰 a 💓 sociopath 💖

[zinc lance]

is that the inquisitor

[cedar furnace]

Hol up. That's a guy?

[ivory mauve]

@cedar furnace @zinc lance yes and yes

[zinc lance]

10/10 would confess all my crimes including the crimes i didn't do

[thorny nest]

Sir Laffey with his crimes

[ivory mauve]

We knew these

[thorny nest]

for all I know, it's shiro's fault

[thorn briar]

The woman drawnd and died but dazai survived

[thorn briar]

Wait what did I do

[thorny nest]

shiro is reading weird stuff

[thorn briar]

[thorny nest]

everything and nothing

so it's your fault by default

[zinc lance]

now that you say it

i shall take my earlier statement back

i'll confess that it is shiros fault

[thorny nest]

@thorn briar

[thorn briar]

I'm reading this

[thorny nest]

so shiro's no longer human?

[thorn briar]

I'm a human

[thorny nest]

[zinc lance]

shiro i didn't think you stopped being human too

[ivory mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-gif-25302510

I'll be surprised if someone understands

[solid nebula]

Ain't that from halo legends

[thorn briar]

[ivory mauve]

Yah but the password. Do you not seee the code word.

WHAT'S THE CODE WORD

[solid nebula]

I literally can't read it

It's grainy enough I can't read it

[ivory mauve]

[solid nebula]

Real funny

[ivory mauve]

[thorn briar]

I didn't

[ivory mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-babysitter-halo-odst-odst-halo-legends-odst-bored-gif-27215487

[solid nebula]

My little demon lord on my shoulder can't be this cute

[ivory mauve]

Yes yes she can

[trim swan]

[solid nebula]

[solid nebula]

No, specifically when she takes care of the kids

[zinc lance]

[thorn briar]

Why are you crying

I said I didn't stop being a human

Also why would I stop being a human

The book I was reading is about dazai's life which is a semi autobiography

Cause it doesn't have his name in the story

He wrote some fake name there as the character of the book

[trim swan]

he's trolling

[thorn briar]

Wait who's trolling

[thorny nest]

you are

[trim swan]

laffeydict and this guy

[thorn briar]

Cooper

[trim swan]

[thorn briar]

[echo quiver]

typical #anime-manga meltdown. i think. im not sure anymore

[thorny nest]

na, just the usual

blame shiro

[cedar furnace]

Recommendations for 2024?

I'm trying to make a 2024 watchlist

[thorny nest]

tsukimichi s2

[thorn briar]

Aren't anime memes supposed to be funny

[quaint patrol]

not rly

usually horny

[thorny nest]

yea

[thorn briar]

Cause D.gray-man memes literally make me cry

[thorny nest]

a lot of memes are supposed to be funny but arent

[thorn briar]

Or confused

[thorny nest]

that's prob just you being you

[thorn briar]

I need an explanation for a 1 meme for D.gray-man, but no one reads it here

[thorny nest]

[thorn briar]

I can post 1 and no one will understand

[thorny nest]

[thorn briar]

And it's not a spoiler

Even

[thorny nest]

then post it

dont beat around the bush

[thorn briar]

This one

[thorny nest]

I mean that's probably cuz the originial image reference is missing to understand what's implied (except everyone wants to kill everyone? )

[thorn briar]

Can I say what it is

[thorny nest]

I wont watch that show anyway

so go ahead and spoil, you lil spoilcat

[quaint patrol]

but put it in spoilers

you spoiler

[thorn briar]

No one reads D.gray-man here

Why would I put in spoilers

[thorny nest]

rules are rules

[thorn briar]

Okay

[thorny nest]

[quaint patrol]

no one locks their doors, so why wouldnt I go into their houses

[thorn briar]

So the guy that is there twice is the main character and the one with glasses is ||his past self|| and the one with short black hair is nea and the one behind him is mana which makes both nea and mana ||brothers|| , but they actually ||are 1 person that became those 2|| and ||past Allen offered himself for nea and he became the host for nea , so that nea can comeback, idk when will nea comeback, it must be soon cause allen will disappear soon||

I put it in spoilers

[quaint patrol]

so pro

[thorny nest]

spoilermaster202

tbf shiro

if you read your text + look at the pic, there's almost no connection to be made for it to turn out like that

[quaint patrol]

what is the megu doing

[boreal oyster]

what's that

[quaint patrol]

what is that

[boreal oyster]

my exact question

[quaint patrol]

why is the bag blushing

I couldve understood if it was money

[boreal oyster]

🐴

one who know

pls write down below

👇

[silver robin]

its filled with that color of liquid thats why

[cedar furnace]

Why are anime memes so unfunny?

[silver robin]

it appears to be a waterballoon am i right guys hahahahahahahaha i am so smart

[boreal oyster]

lmao idolish7

[dry moon]

That image has terrible artifacting

[weak glacier]

Frosty hot take coming in

4kids was responsible for Yugioh success in America

4kids was not 4kids but 4parents because it was the parents buying the cards

Nobody ain't gonna buy little jimmy a card with big tits

I don't know how millenial parents are now

[quaint patrol]

ahhh that truly garbage manga was refreshing

now I have a new point of reference

"At least what im reading now isnt as bad as before"

[cedar furnace]

Isn't only a few thousand low?

[quaint patrol]

for weekly sales?

[cedar furnace]

For sales in general?

[quaint patrol]

the fuck is in general

it's weekly sales

[slender skiff]

No that's high for weekly sales lmao

[quaint patrol]

these things last for like a seasonright

those rates of sales

[dry moon]

1,000 a week seems pretty damn high to me

[cedar furnace]

I think even by western standards

Idk

[boreal oyster]

no wonder idolish7 gets several anime project lmao

look at that sales

[weak glacier]

@slender skiff Here's my top picks

[boreal oyster]

of what

[weak glacier]

Top waifu picks of this year

[echo quiver]

most of those aren't from this year. and i think one of those might be bocchi

wait, was love domination this year? damn, thought it was older by now

[weak glacier]

It's from what I watch this year

or just picks in general

[cedar furnace]

So you watched GuP this year?

[weak glacier]

nah

yeah

I did watch das finale this year

parts 1 - 3

[cedar furnace]

I need to watch that eventually

I'm currently watching huntik but maybe I'll switch up cuz Das finale pt 1 is like 45ish minutes I think

[slender skiff]

this year
None of them are from this year

More like of all the stuff you watched period

[weak glacier]

🔉

whoops wrong emjoi

[weak glacier]

I'm always late to the party

Ender, you know I only watch dubs

And that means I'm like 6-12 months behind

I'm literally internet explorer of anime watchers

[thorny nest]

for mirai nikki you are over a decade late

[slender skiff]

^

[thorny nest]

same goes for freezing

[weak glacier]

I mean

My selection is quite limited

[thorny nest]

I'm happy when I find one new anime per season

[slender skiff]

So why should we trust your opinion on anime again, Frosty?

[weak glacier]

Yeah

About a year late

I'm still waiting for some 2023 stuff to be dubbed

[cedar furnace]

Wait I got a girl from this year

[weak glacier]

I guess

From what I watched

Fuyutsuki is the one I like

I guess those hell's paradise girls are good too

no, don't dare misconstrue what I mean

You know, you know

Also, Ian Sinclair pulling double duty in that role

I working under assumption that none of y'all care about Ian Sinclair

[spare dune]

How to get into AL anime? 2019 series and then Slow Ahead! is the good order or is there something to watch before/in between

[weak glacier]

My MAN carries the dubbing industry

[weak glacier]

2019 apparently suck balls according to most, even though I enjoyed it a bit because I watched the dub it was cheesy

WAR, WAR NEVER CHANGES

[spare dune]

I can enjoy a good shitty dub

[weak glacier]

The dub was way too good

[cedar furnace]

But like the show itself says, more like a daughter/best girl than a crush

[weak glacier]

For that caliber of a show

[cedar furnace]

Sorry I took so long

[thorny nest]

slow ahead is the only anime

[weak glacier]

They gave Eugen a German accent

[cedar furnace]

And z23 a very thick one

Fitting though

[weak glacier]

The only ones who didn't get accent was the floofs

I mean

[cedar furnace]

Hornet has one too

[weak glacier]

How they gonna do a sterotypical Japanese accent without being midly racist?

[thorny nest]

Akagi got the grey ghosto

[cedar furnace]

Hetalia does it anyways

[weak glacier]

idk

[weak glacier]

It was a miss oppurinity

[cedar furnace]

And it's banned in South Korea for reasons

[lost cobalt]

Hetalia? Is that like the anime with characters based on countries?

[weak glacier]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0WbrO8yAqY

[slender skiff]

Neither are even related to one another

[weak glacier]

omg

[slender skiff]

The AL anime in 2019 was meant to be a serious attempt at a story

[weak glacier]

THis dub

[slender skiff]

Which failed miserably

[weak glacier]

THIS DUB SENDS ME

[cedar furnace]

Yep

[slender skiff]

Slow Ahead is a chill show about the Shipfus when they're not fighting

[weak glacier]

I think I only enjoyed this show because I watched it dubbed

[cedar furnace]

And queens orders is about the British doing stuff

I think

[boreal oyster]

british

[slim rain]

Im so sad that JJK is over until the next season starts airing

[weak glacier]

buttish

[thorny nest]

bri'ish

[slender skiff]

It's similar to Slow Ahead in that sense

Chill

Just different main cast

[slim rain]

The last episode was so tame but also so fucking hype

[weak glacier]

AL anime dub is just

https://tenor.com/view/dead-my-honest-reaction-damn-skull-skeleton-gif-15885937969029652188

[cedar furnace]

Tbh if they want a serious story just animate one of the serious events

[slender skiff]

After you know what's been happening behind the scenes
I'll doubt you'll say that

[slim rain]

also they changed the OP ever so slightly for the last episode, you can now see yuta unsheathing his katana for half a second lmao

[weak glacier]

OMG

OMG

[slim rain]

What a tease

[lost cobalt]

You guys watch frieren?

[cedar furnace]

Makes it worth watching despite the non existant plot and questionable quality control?

[weak glacier]

MOM GET THE CAMERAAAAAAA

[slender skiff]

Because JJK S2 has been riddled with controversy

[cedar furnace]

No I have a life

[lost cobalt]

Oh ok

[weak glacier]

Pretty much the only thing that carried that show for me

[slim rain]

Bro I pogged when I saw my boy return

[weak glacier]

Hearing enty EN voice was lol

Slow Ahead got dubbed

[slim rain]

Even if it was briefly

[weak glacier]

🏃

[slender skiff]

I have been, though haven't caught up yet

[lost cobalt]

Well I like frieren, cause funny boomer elf and cowardly warrior boi

[cedar furnace]

Because....? Come on you can't drop a nuke like that and not explain

[lost cobalt]

How about GS2?

[weak glacier]

IT'S DUBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBEEEEEEED

[slender skiff]

I mean no one was asking so

[slim rain]

Animators work conditions

[slender skiff]

^

Horrendous ones

[lost cobalt]

I need more Goblin slayer animations

[cedar furnace]

Oh. And not the thing about the girl

[slim rain]

They are basically being worked like slaves

[slender skiff]

Animator work conditions have been horrible for a long time in Japan

[cedar furnace]

Huh?

[lost cobalt]

S2 was such a nice slife style show

[slender skiff]

But in this case, it would seem things hit a breaking point

[lost cobalt]

Mappa is just hell

[weak glacier]

NEVERMIND

[slender skiff]

With some animators not afraid to air their grievances on twitter

[cedar furnace]

Eh. I mean they could do it if they want to

Would fit the lighthearted deminor

[weak glacier]

I just want that Eugen German accent

[slender skiff]

I read the LNs a while back instead
So I haven't touched S2

[weak glacier]

It heals the soul

[slender skiff]

It's a unique show tbh

[weak glacier]

It heels the sole

[lost cobalt]

S2 is a slife with violence mixed in, definitely tamer than s1

[slender skiff]

And I really appreciate it for what it's worth

[cedar furnace]

Her VA is inactive but she does reprise roles

[slender skiff]

I mean

[slim rain]

https://youtu.be/ACFg5XX9XQw?si=tc7GvPJzTOfF33aT

[cedar furnace]

Sorry semi active

[lost cobalt]

GS is such a good show

[slim rain]

Teaser for season 3 is already out

[slender skiff]

S1 completely rearranged the content of the novels sooooooo

[lost cobalt]

Oh really?

Haven't touched the novels

[slender skiff]

You know the final fight in s1

Against the goblins invading the farm?

[lost cobalt]

I only read a bit of the manga

[lost cobalt]

The horde?

[slender skiff]

Yes

[weak glacier]

So u

SO uh

uh

[slender skiff]

That ordinarily takes place at the end of volume 1, before they visit the city of water

And this before they meet the sword maiden

[weak glacier]

I'm looking for 2023 season ender

[lost cobalt]

Oh really?

[slender skiff]

Yep

[lost cobalt]

Well I think it still had a nice pacing for s1

[slender skiff]

Tho

[weak glacier]

What 2023 anime I should watch

[slender skiff]

I really can't fault the production team for this change

I think it was a good one

[lost cobalt]

But man, GS has amazing music

Mili makes bangers

[cedar furnace]

Pastor Lawrence and Saint Cecilia

[lost cobalt]

They still did the op for s2

[weak glacier]

to this day, I believe that Ya Boy Kongming had one of the BEST opennings

[lost cobalt]

https://youtu.be/21bCrsGt050?si=REe2-9-aaJsG52yN

[weak glacier]

I actually sat there

And watched through it

There was only one other anime I did that

Kill la Kill Death Note

[lost cobalt]

I like anime ops a lot if they have unique sounds to them

[weak glacier]

most of them sound the same

[lost cobalt]

Fly me to the moon anime such had a good op

[weak glacier]

But occasionally you get some outliers

[lost cobalt]

The shamisen with techno/dubstep was a bop

Perfectly fits the show too cause the main girl is connected to Kaguya hime

[weak glacier]

FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING GOD, CAN WE QUIT WITH THE 4K 60 FPS AI BULLSHIT

[lost cobalt]

Lol

They need to stop with that stuff

No I don't need 4k and 60 fps

[weak glacier]

I want that crisp 360p video of monitor xbox mic anime intro

[lost cobalt]

Give me the original resolution

[slender skiff]

Zom100, Mushoku Tensei s2, Mashle, My Happy Marriage, The Apothecary Diaries, Frieren at the Funeral, The Dangers in My Heart, Handyman Saitou in Another World

[lost cobalt]

Zom100 is fun

[weak glacier]

I'm more upset over the fact that they changed the FPS to 60

Guys

I have a confession

I've been reading Zom 100

[lost cobalt]

More fps doesn't mean better/smoother

[slender skiff]

The last one in particular

[lost cobalt]

It's nice

[slender skiff]

Is criminally underrated

[weak glacier]

Because GAMERS

[lost cobalt]

Handyman saitou has a nice manga

[slender skiff]

The anime was excellent

[lost cobalt]

I binged the manga in 1 night

[weak glacier]

Apothecary Diaries has been on my radar

[slender skiff]

So was Isekai Ojii-san
But that's technically 2022, except it only ended in 2023

[weak glacier]

Fun fact

I did watch Ojii-san

[lost cobalt]

Man I should get back to isekai ojiisan

[weak glacier]

[lost cobalt]

I stopped watching it cause it got delayed and I never got back to it

[weak glacier]

I just couldn't watch all of it because it was just not my type of humor

It's so cringy

But it's funny

[lost cobalt]

I like isekai ojiisan cause I watched too much isekai shows

[weak glacier]

I might binge anime tomorrow

[slender skiff]

It's a parody

[weak glacier]

I mean, wasn't konosuba a parody too?

[lost cobalt]

Actually there's an isekai show that I really really like even if it's kinda cringey for some people

Eminence in shadow

[weak glacier]

SAO?

Ok

[lost cobalt]

Nah that's trash

[weak glacier]

That is like

Saying "I like SAO" and thinking it's unpopular

[lost cobalt]

Eminence in shadow has the perfect balance of parodying isekai and making a serious isekai

The main mc is the parody but the supporting characters are the serious ones

[slender skiff]

The thing is... A parody of what exactly

It was one of the first few isekais to be released

[lost cobalt]

Yea lol

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

The only thing it parodies is typical adventure/guild/fantasy anime

[lost cobalt]

Konosuba isn't a parody, it's a pioneer

[slender skiff]

^

[weak glacier]

It's funny because

It sounds like parody

[slender skiff]

It set the standard for comedy isekais

[lost cobalt]

Parody doesn't require comedy tho

[weak glacier]

Maybe because I was introduced to konosuba way later

[lost cobalt]

You can parody something without making it comedic sometimes

[lost cobalt]

I completely understand

[weak glacier]

Aqua is my queen and church

[lost cobalt]

Tbf my favourite anime of all time is Re zero

[weak glacier]

Like, it's funny because it has more awareness than most isekais

[lost cobalt]

I know how bad my taste is to some people

[weak glacier]

Vanilia is a taste and thats ok

[lost cobalt]

Screw you

[slender skiff]

Oh right

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

I forgot 100kano

[lost cobalt]

Oh that show...

[slender skiff]

Anime that somehow smashed the manga out of the park

[thorny nest]

oh my

[weak glacier]

I don't like harems

[slender skiff]

I'm amazed tbh

[slender skiff]

That's a very bold statement

[lost cobalt]

In my defense I like rezero cause character progression and deep world building

[slender skiff]

You have my respect for that

[weak glacier]

ok real talk

[slender skiff]

Although I do agree with your opinion personally

[weak glacier]

Did you watch the director's cut?

[slender skiff]

People shit on ReZero a lot

[lost cobalt]

Mushuko tensei has amazing world building and story too

[weak glacier]

It's shit on because it's popular

Like SAO

[lost cobalt]

Obviously

[weak glacier]

I accidentally watched that one

[lost cobalt]

It's Popular?

[weak glacier]

And sat through it all day

[slender skiff]

Wrong

[weak glacier]

Rem and Ram is like vanilia waifu choices

[lost cobalt]

I never knew Re zero was popular

[weak glacier]

YOU KNOW HOW MANY REM AND RAMS?

[slender skiff]

It is popular

Incredibly so

It's just that

[lost cobalt]

Rem and ram are surface level tbf

[slender skiff]

If this was the case
What about Konosuba

[thorny nest]

yea it was like most popular or very high up in the popularity charts the moment it released

[weak glacier]

YOU KNOW HOW MANY REMS AND RAMS I'VE SEEN IN MY FIGURE COLLECTING HOBBY? THE ONLY THING THAT COMES TO CLOSE TO THESE FANS IS HATSUNE MIKU FANS

[lost cobalt]

Dive a little deeper and you'll see the witches

[slender skiff]

Konosuba, ReZero and Overlord were the original Trinity of modern isekai

[lost cobalt]

Man the witches

[weak glacier]

The fandom of ReZero is nuts

Konosuba fans are all bumbling idiots

Overlord isn't trying to be profound or anything

[lost cobalt]

Ok here's a take that might be controversial

[slender skiff]

So you just called yourself a bumbling idiot?

[thorny nest]

[weak glacier]

I mean, is this new Ender?

[lost cobalt]

Mushuko is just rezero minus the suffering and body horror

[slender skiff]

I mean I certainly wasn't expecting to call yourself on it

[slender skiff]

I can see where you're coming from

[weak glacier]

I was ahead of the curb

[lost cobalt]

Both have amazing world building and characters progression

[thorny nest]

I'm just waiting for a season when ainz goes full on nuke on something for the whole season

[slender skiff]

But I would disagree yes

[boreal oyster]

next jkk issue : 2 weeks from now

[weak glacier]

So the problem is

[slender skiff]

That never happens

[lost cobalt]

Speaking of isekai

[slender skiff]

And now that the LN is gonna end cos the author is bored

[lost cobalt]

Konosuba is getting a S3 in april

[slender skiff]

Good fucking luck there

[weak glacier]

Konosuba and Overlord don't try to be profound in anything they say... they just turn off your brain monke animes
And the Re:Zero tries to attempt to say something or be Chris nolan or some shit

[lost cobalt]

I mean on the surface that seems to be the case for re zero

[thorny nest]

I know, can't have the whole season of just one part, watchers will be disappointed or something like diversity in the settings, idk

[weak glacier]

Re:Zero had different vibe than Konosuba and Overlod, and I did watch all 3 of them

[lost cobalt]

But ngl, rezero s1 is a filter

Cause s2 is amazing

[weak glacier]

I didn't even want to watch after s1

It was bland imho

But to each on their own

[lost cobalt]

Did tou watch s2?

[weak glacier]

Maybe episode 1, but I was burnt out from s1

[lost cobalt]

Cause if you finished s1, you might enjoy s2 a lot

[thorny nest]

I'm actually with frosty on that one

[weak glacier]

Remember, I watched the director's cut in one day

[lost cobalt]

S1 suffering is now a character plot

[weak glacier]

Did s2 become meta or some shit?

[lost cobalt]

Believe it or not

[weak glacier]

What are we, marvel fans?

[lost cobalt]

Subaru learns

[thorny nest]

na he doesnt

[lost cobalt]

He actually progresses

[weak glacier]

Regardless

S1 just left me not wanting more

[lost cobalt]

I mean I'm used to people's general opinion of re zero alr so I'm not pushing it anymore

[weak glacier]

And I'm not going to continue watching something I am not invested in it

I say that

But I watched 4 seasons of danmachi

[lost cobalt]

Lol

[slender skiff]

Same

[lost cobalt]

I only managed 1 season of danmachi

[slender skiff]

People just hate a whiny MC turns out

[weak glacier]

Why did I watch 4 seasons of this?

[slender skiff]

And don't like character development

[weak glacier]

WHY

[lost cobalt]

Oh btw ender

[weak glacier]

WHAT COMPELLED ME TO WATCH DANMCHI>

[lost cobalt]

I listen to re zero songs to fall asleep

[slender skiff]

I mean

I have used them for studying

So uh

[lost cobalt]

There's a vid on yt with all the songs from s1 to movie to s2

[weak glacier]

uh I lied, only 3

But still

Why did I watched this much?

All I remember people fighting each other n shit

Human vs monster supremecy idk

[lost cobalt]

It's 1:20 hours long

https://youtu.be/mqe2BNGn2tQ?si=y44NOhRDqqp71LY-

[weak glacier]

Oh that's right

I'm a ditz

[lost cobalt]

And btw realize is the best op

[weak glacier]

I watched for Ais

Ais what carried me through danmachi

[lost cobalt]

Ais?

The character who barely had screentime?
