[thorn briar]

Look at them

[zinc lance]

dunno man, still looks wide as fuck if you focus on where the adams apple is

[trim swan]

[thorn briar]

I feel attacked whenever I watch this anime actually, for how cute it is

[trim swan]

sounds like you're describing cringe

[thorn briar]

She has a voice actually, I mean she can talk

Can I steal him for real

[thorn briar]

I can't

[trim swan]

skill issue tbh

[thorn briar]

This is too much for my heart

The 3rd wheeler is here

Now this is funny

Yuki wanted to go home and he said he will walk her home while knowing that this girl is outside

And this girl loves him , but he doesn't

This is awkward wtf

Okay this scene is where I wanted to steal him actually

[thorn briar]

I need to sleep

I cried

I never thought I would cry while watching a romance anime

[echo quiver]

i used to do it, but now romances feel too cliche for me to cry over them since ive seen too many and they all kinda work the same way

desensitized to romances

what i didn't expect was to cry over dr. stone lol

[whole berry]

AYOOSOSOEODOOSOSOSOS SHORRRORORORORORO

[weak glacier]

Wonfes started

@slender skiff

[cedar furnace]

What's that

[weak glacier]

[cedar furnace]

No the words

[cedar furnace]

Yes

[cedar furnace]

Ok a better question is what is that thing's purpose

[whole berry]

Yes

Vol 3 fan translation is on april 20

[cedar furnace]

Still hoping this gets dubbed

[silver robin]

when jp dub literally says "crazy" in english, but the subtitles say "mad"

[weak glacier]

that's crazy

[silver robin]

[weak glacier]

I, too, am gay for women

[silver robin]

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

Ho boi

Split second frame of Jinshi triggering her

[slender skiff]

Poor Shinobu

[slender skiff]

@faint crag @quaint patrol lmao this face

Yes that's Myne

[faint crag]

[thorn briar]

Just looking back at old d.gray-man panels or pages can make me cry

Why do I always choose the manga or anime that will make me suffer

[thorn briar]

In d.gray-man u suffer slowly since it's 4 or 3 chapters a year

[cedar furnace]

Lmfao the most replayed part
https://youtu.be/Y-E0dpqRUHc?feature=shared

[cedar furnace]

Does that actually happen in that show?

[thorn briar]

It's raining today

[thorn briar]

[zinc lance]

didn't know dgrayman was a bl manga

[thorn briar]

It's not

[thorn briar]

Cause the panel here it shows that the 2 are actually ||1 person||

It's a ||1 person|| that split into the 2 guys

[dry moon]

Ahhh

Shokei Shoujo no Ikiru Michi

Is so good

[dry moon]

[thorn briar]

[quaint patrol]

that's kochou no yume right

yumeji

[thorn briar]

No, it's the demon prince of momochi house

He told her to keep herself safe , but she didn't listen to him

Also , he hugs whenever he wants

Why is this the punishment when u hug her whenever u want

[thorn briar]

She fell after he kissed her on her hand

[thorn briar]

They are dating now

[cedar furnace]

Hoping for a dub
https://youtu.be/Lbq2YuhZGC0?si=P77KFP8Bpo4Xhw9-

[cedar furnace]

Still hoping

[boreal oyster]

heard funimation will eos April 2024

[cedar furnace]

Well somebody better dub it

Hopefully

[silver robin]

you heard correctly

[quaint patrol]

i saw the memes about that

[silver robin]

cause they bought crunchyroll and they using the crunchyroll branding from now on

[quaint patrol]

oh they bought crunchyroll

i saw that crunchy roll was doubling its price

[boreal oyster]

Sony

[silver robin]

yep lol

Sony moment

[cedar furnace]

Well I don't care as long as they dub the above

[quaint patrol]

that's why they're doing it

[cedar furnace]

So it's getting a dub?

[quaint patrol]

what?

because you dont care, they're free to double prices

[cedar furnace]

I never said that

[quaint patrol]

You responded to "I saw that crunchyroll was doubling prices" with "I dont care as long as they dub the above"

[cedar furnace]

I was joking

[quaint patrol]

breh say that here

[cedar furnace]

Ok can I take back anything dumb I said?

Look. I just kinda wanna watch a show in a language I understand that's based on a manga that I bought

[boreal oyster]

[slender skiff]

[stable herald]

YOOOO

ROSEN GARTEN PLOT

IS GETTIN AS THICC AS THE ASSES IN THE MANGA

[solid nebula]

Rosen Garten?

Grandma was the Kaguya of her day. Holy shit!

[slender skiff]

To Kazuya's credit

He's finally getting there

[solid nebula]

took him what, 200 chapters?

plus one that infamous one

and that one exact panel that was dedicated for the most oddest thing

[slender skiff]

200

We're at 316

[solid nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/wow-cringe-is-strong-anime-honkai-star-rail-gif-16257046068624092646

[slender skiff]

And the guy has finally asked Chizuru out on a date-date

And yet

That's still better than Komi and Tadano

[solid nebula]

Nasa and Tsuaksa being the absolute king and queen of speedrunning a relationship

then we have the newest contendor of the grandparents returning to their youth. Negative speedrun is possible and it's amazing the records we got

[stable herald]

@ivory mauve WAKE UP THERE GURREN LAGANN REFERENCES IN PRIEST OF CORRUPTION

[ivory mauve]

Ffs i was about to go to sleep

Now I'm going to read it

[solid nebula]

So uhh, might of accidently caught up with the grandparents returning to their youth shit and the latest chapters is giving me panik

[ivory mauve]

Oh no

[solid nebula]

wheeze

[stable herald]

also huge plot twist

bout that girl

Mann the demon milf looks soo happy the whole chapter

The world really means alot to her thanks to her daughter

[solid nebula]

fuck, I caught up with the series I'm reading

NOOOOO

[ivory mauve]

She forgot to wear her black inner wear

That should be enough to understand

[solid nebula]

I am mildly interested now

[ivory mauve]

Damedol to Sekai ni Hitori Dake no Fan

@stable herald this reminds me of something you do

[stable herald]

LMAO

well shit

this is pain peko

[stable herald]

Artwork is fabulous

[whole berry]

Whut that

[boreal oyster]

saski uchiwa

[potent schooner]

Urumin is so dumb god bless her.

[solid nebula]

ain't no way

Tryna find a manga or a manwha with a female protagonist in a fantasy setting is like trying to find a needle in a large haystack that is on fire

And villainess stories do not count

[somber relic]

what, you want some title recommendation?

[solid nebula]

yes please , getting tired with male protags being male protags

it's nice, don't get me wrong. But a breath of fresh air is always nice

[potent schooner]

Any particular fantasy setting?

[solid nebula]

just fantasy in general, but particularly around the medieval period if able

[somber relic]

Nicola Traveling Around the Demon's World
March Story
Arm Peddler (hiatus for 6+ years, still got great art though)
How To Treat Magical Beast

some titles that I already read

[solid nebula]

maybe I should of specified the genres further when I had the chance

anyway, think I read Arms Peddler years back. Can't remember

[somber relic]

oh there is this as well

[solid nebula]

Fantasy Action, medieval period if able. gonna be a tough one to find ain't it

[somber relic]

March Story is action

[solid nebula]

you know what I Realised? There's really no female MC adventurer stories

usually it's just a dude getting by...

[somber relic]

Elaina (Wandering Witch)? Kino no Tabi?

lol

there is GLT as well

Girl Last Tour

also Made in Abyss

there you go

[solid nebula]

Didn't meant those

[somber relic]

what, they are adventure manga you know?

[potent schooner]

There’s “I Picked Up This World’s Guide Book” if you want a recent one. About a girl who helps run a shop, finding her (videogame) world’s guide book and starts messing around with it. So far doesn’t have her getting stupid strong.

[solid nebula]

Guy joins adventurer guild, starts doing requests to get by and etc. And basically just a slow raise from being ordinary to having feats people would tell in song

that sorta thing

[somber relic]

also action stuff in general have fews amount of female MC, it's not limited to manga or manhwa

[solid nebula]

I was going through some lists from other guys that found the same interest and I honestly didn't expect to see "Celeste Academy" on it

[somber relic]

so Red Hood then?

[solid nebula]

Old series on Wattpad I read. Good stuff, though think it's just Nostalgia giving me a rose tinted view

I remember this one series back in the day with this guy joining a company that goes into different worlds and he just starts doing business. And has to protect his equipment which were guns and shit. Idk, years back, can't recall the name but he did have a shipping container worth of shit

[somber relic]

oh btw for manhwa you might want to read this https://anilist.co/manga/109664/Burning-Effect

good shit

imagine Trigger Studio's anime got comic version, that's Burning Effect

[solid nebula]

good recommends

[cedar furnace]

You guys understand this. Right?

[cedar furnace]

Anyways it is kinda unfair they they're raising prices for no apparent reason other than, as a certain animated crustacean once said:

https://tenor.com/view/money-mr-krabs-gif-18326632

[slender skiff]

At that point

It might be a more fruitful endeavour to actually learn the language

[cedar furnace]

A 4th one?

[slender skiff]

I already speak 3 fluently myself

And I aim to learn Chinese in the future due to "regional needs"

And yes, I'm a native English speaker

Turns out most of the world's people that only speak one language

Have english as their native

[cedar furnace]

Oh cool. I speak English, French and a bit of Italian

I've thought of learning Greek as well

[solid nebula]

Shit this one is actually good

[slender skiff]

bruh

wtf

also

hanazono

very familiar surname

[solid nebula]

Some V-tubing thing where a guy finds out his crush has a boyfriend so he just ends up being a v-tuber

And ends up being way more popular than he expected

[slender skiff]

As in

100 kano

[solid nebula]

Wack

Not that story

[solid nebula]

Quick question, can we post a novel update links in here or do I have to get the name?

[slender skiff]

Tis fine

[solid nebula]

https://www.novelupdates.com/series/i-was-heartbroken-so-i-became-a-vtuber-but-then-i-became-popular-with-the-older-ladies/

Observe

[cedar furnace]

I feel dumb for not asking earlier, but what's the 3rd language you speak?

[slender skiff]

otherwise haru would have been slapped silly long ago

btw the 2nd language isn't japanese

[cedar furnace]

So is the "cover girl" the vtuber?

[solid nebula]

According to the description. Yep

[slender skiff]

My native language is Englush
My mother tongue is Tamil
And I picked up Malay from the job

[solid nebula]

Which reminds me of ANOTHER V-tubing story

[slender skiff]

I live in Southeast Asia

[cedar furnace]

Nice

[solid nebula]

If I had a nickel for everytime a V-tubing story was actually quite good

[slender skiff]

the one that's getting an anime?

[solid nebula]

I'd have 2 nickels

[slender skiff]

the one where her true identity came out

[solid nebula]

Which isn't a lot but it's strange that it happened twice

[slender skiff]

and she became more popular?

[solid nebula]

Via beer

That's the one

[slender skiff]

yeah syanda regales me with tales from that story

glorious amounts of shit posting

[solid nebula]

I can confirm

There is so much shitposting

Got to love v-tubing stories that are well written

[cedar furnace]

Tbh niche ideas that are well written are a welcome surprise

Because it feel fresh

Or I think that's why

[solid nebula]

True

[solid nebula]

Also it is ungodly funny

[cedar furnace]

I like things with unhinged humor even if it's not the focus

[solid nebula]

It gets unhinged in a way if you been around the v-tuber community

[cedar furnace]

Even horny jokes if they're done right and not shoved down my throat

[cedar furnace]

Not to be rude but I try to stay away from that crowd

[solid nebula]

... Yeah that's gonna be a fair amount of jokes flying over your head

[cedar furnace]

I think the target audience is vtuber fans correct?

I mean that would make sense

[solid nebula]

Fair

Imma keep reading

[cedar furnace]

👍

[cedar furnace]

I'm sorry if it seemed like I was judging you for reading it or seemed like I didn't want you to read it

[solid nebula]

Whar

Brother, please. Let me rrsd

Read

[cedar furnace]

Sorry

[solid nebula]

I don't wanna keep tabbing back into here

[cedar furnace]

Oh my bad

Sorry

Wow I'm dense

[solid nebula]

I absolutely love this format

Makes things so much easier to read between the chat and mc

AINT NO WAY THEY PULLED THAT OUT

Say sike rn

[somber relic]

I almost forgot I got CD soundtrack bonus from this comic

[stable herald]

Holy shit its this manhwa

fuckin great one

[slim rain]

man i cant wait for season 2 part 2 of mushoku tensei

i really hate that they broke it up into 2 parts though

thats some netflix type shit right there

just make it 3 seasons

[shut lion]

hopefully it wont be as dull as previous

[ivory mauve]

Badass

Mother down i repeat mother down

Oh hey finally the curse got activated

[uneven pendant]

ngl looks cute

[weak glacier]

This got to be the weirdest 4kids change

[quaint patrol]

is wolyoung a guy or girl wtf

i can't tell

[quaint patrol]

so ok

Does teresa ever miss?

[slender skiff]

Story says a guy

Several times in fact

As though to make it clear that he's a guy

Although as many characters also say, he is very feminine

[thorn briar]

@somber relic I have a strong feeling that what happened to the soldiers in this poem will happen to the people in the island , this is from : and then there were none

[quaint patrol]

been awhile since i've read it i guess

also, frieren x myne would be pretty fnuny

myne printing random spells for frieren

[slender skiff]

The gremlins would feed off each other

And Ferdinand might seriously abandon everything

[quaint patrol]

ferdi and himmel

i feel like himmel would get jealous

[slender skiff]

Ferdi would end up helping Frieren's research

[cedar furnace]

Why would that be "lewd"

[quaint patrol]

it's unprotected handholding

[cedar furnace]

What?

[weak glacier]

I'm like 20 episodes in yugioh

Literally one of the easiest watches

I'm not really paying attention half the time since a lot of it just two guys having a dick measuring contest lol

"HAVE FAITH IN YOUR CARDS"

[slender skiff]

It's a meme in the anime community
That handholding is lewd

[cedar furnace]

Based

[cedar furnace]

Ironic

[slender skiff]

That is exactly what it is

[cedar furnace]

The OG series right?

[potent schooner]

That is the joke yes

[cedar furnace]

Cuz of other more lewd stuff?

Also @slender skiff check this out
https://youtu.be/m1YuM9hf3YQ?si=9JmE5ywapUpMEKii

[somber relic]

soldier eh, lmao

I'm sure the original poem is ten little negro (that was the poem in the novel I read as well)

[thorn briar]

That's what it's called

[somber relic]

maybe I guess I will check the digital version I can get from somewhere else but I'm too lazy for it

I guess you read the revised/censored version or smthing kek

don't read the plot section of the link I posted above tho

they are major spoiler

the poem in the version I read doesn't mention "soldier"

[cedar furnace]

I read the title and started laughing

[somber relic]

there is Malaysian kid song telling the story about the poem and it's super hilarious as well

because they sang it in happy way but the content of the song is dark af lmao

song for kid indeed

[thorn briar]

How

[somber relic]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cedar furnace]

Also I know that ender is gonna love that animation

[thorn briar]

This is the one I have

[somber relic]

for the context https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp32iknA0a4

[thorn briar]

It's 2003 edition

[somber relic]

this is probably one of the darkest (if not the darkest) kid song I ever heard lol

[thorn briar]

Is it the same one

From the book

[somber relic]

the song?

[thorn briar]

Yes

[somber relic]

nah, it's just pure about the original poem, not Agatha Christie's novel

reminder Agatha Christie wasn't the one who create the poem lol

[somber relic]

also no little negro kid featured in the novel's plot as well

[thorn briar]

[somber relic]

I mean, don't you read the link I posted above

Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians—which was originally, notoriously, released serially in the UK under the title Ten Little N-word. (This was the British music-hall version of the minstrel song.)

smh

[thorn briar]

I only read this part , and I didn't open the link even

[cedar furnace]

Is the moral of the story to not be obsessed with 2D avatars?

[somber relic]

dunno

[weak glacier]

duelists

[silver robin]

Didnt this place on kono light novel wa sugoi

[somber relic]

yeah

[silver robin]

cant wait to see tiv art

i know manga isnt done by tiv this time

but im interested to see the ln art

[somber relic]

https://www.mangaupdates.com/author/81wy2yp/yuuki here is the manga artist's profile

Yaoi's doujinka

almost all of her work are BL lol

and her only "serialization" manga only have one volume (a.k.a one-shot volume manga)

so this is pretty much her first proper manga serialization

[stable herald]

Basically kriemhild lost her memory in the reincarnation.

Thats why she thought shes jist a normal village girl

Snd she didnt knoe bout the curse

Cuz she wished that nobody looked at her neither men or women

I guess thats also the reason why siegfried is able to posess her?

[somber relic]

[weak glacier]

"official raws"

what did I just walked into

I wasn't expecting racial slurs

[somber relic]

raws purchased from official pubs site, not taken from pirated site

[somber relic]

I guess that's just how Brits in the past lol

[weak glacier]

So you just mean the digital copy? Ain't no way publishers providing a "raw" 💀

[somber relic]

don't google H.P. Lovecraft's cat name

[weak glacier]

I already know

[somber relic]

yeah, "raw" is the lingo ppl usually used for that

the original image

[weak glacier]

I just assumed a raw was either the "raw" file (high quality they use for printing) or a scan lol

[somber relic]

yeah no

[weak glacier]

I don't count taking a screenshot of a file as raw lol

I know there is some people import books and cut them

to scan them

I have random vietnamese manga

also that awkward moment when you can wait for the publisher to translate it for you

oh and I know this joke was copied, but still lol

I feel like isekai titles are like that one time where yo uand your friends reminiscence about that moment

[somber relic]

not "some people", more like that's what most scannies do in the old time before digital manga exist

now the only scannies who did that are very fews niche group who worked on obscure old titles

like old Tezuka Osamu's work for example

oh also for some English licensed release of manga which never have digital version because the author refuse them lmao

[weak glacier]

I know from experience

Keijo not having english release is a crime against humanity

[somber relic]

umm, I'm talking about english release which don't have digital version btw, not unlicensed manga

like Vagabond for example

or Naoki Urasawa's work except Pluto

[weak glacier]

I don't even think Keijo has a digital print either

I wonder if any of the shojo beat manga does

Cause there is some very niche serious like Punch!

[somber relic]

and Pluto most likely have digital version only because part of the title's copyright owned by Tezuka Osamu's family

[weak glacier]

[somber relic]

that manga is good

[weak glacier]

I rather not have that in my library lol

[somber relic]

American moment

[somber relic]

oh yeah btw to clarifies this, scannies usually know how to rip digital manga they already purchased properly, not screenshotting them

[weak glacier]

I take it the person you screenshoted doesn't know that lol

[somber relic]

ofc scannies who actually screenshotted "raw" chapters exist, but they are shitty group

[weak glacier]

me when I can count the pixels

[somber relic]

same with ppl who pirated official licensed manhwa and upload them to Bat*to

since they don't know how to pirate the chapters properly

[somber relic]

ironically YenPress's digital release known for their low-res quality lmao

[weak glacier]

how they hell you gonna download Manhua

[weak glacier]

Oh trust, I've see comics with horrible prints

But sometimes I think they print low quality so that people won't scan them online

[somber relic]

I'm talking about their digital release, not physical release, they are different

since YP also published shit in digitals too

[weak glacier]

I'm almost certain it's to prevent piracy lol

[somber relic]

then it's a scam for ppl who pay for their release tho smh

[weak glacier]

I know comics do it

[somber relic]

what's the point of spending money to get image with shit res

[weak glacier]

But they only do it for like artwork release at major events

Like they have ads of upcoming events and they print those artworks low res

on the comic

Let me see if I can find an example

[somber relic]

also for this, even HumbleBundle's release got better quality than YP with way cheaper price (courtesy to someone I know who knows about how to do this stuff)

so it's not really a good excuse if you ask me

Comixology have good quality for their digital release as well

it's just YenPress being dogshit for no good reason

[weak glacier]

my other theory

It's probably because of server costs or what not

THey cheap bastards lol

[somber relic]

server cost with the pricing they have for their stuff? lol, lmao even

they are just being greedy

[weak glacier]

min-maxing

There isn't a good excuse, but there's probably a reason and they aware of it

[somber relic]

they are definitely aware of it

[weak glacier]

i also bought some new comics

damn

icloud sucks balls

I snuck some manga into there too

[slender skiff]

Same

[weak glacier]

how's it going ender

[slender skiff]

Just bout to have lunch

[weak glacier]

oh cool lol

I've been reworking my room

for like the hundreth time

[slender skiff]

I just moved into a smaller room

So yeah that was a necessity

[weak glacier]

yeah

I'm about to go to the store in the bumfuck of night so I can get isoproyl alchol to remove these damn stickers on my manga

Added another bookshelf

[slender skiff]

I don't have many books to begin with

[silver robin]

same

[slender skiff]

But at this point I seriously have no space to put new ones

[silver robin]

i prefer library

since i don't reread

[slender skiff]

Let alone display them

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

I reread a lot

[weak glacier]

I find every place I can find to put a book into

i'm finally pulling my non-manga stuff

[slender skiff]

I do have places to store a couple of books

But it's a shame I have no way to display them

[weak glacier]

I'm moving stuff around at the moment

[slender skiff]

The only place I have to display

Besides my desk itself

[weak glacier]

I'll brb gotta go to the store

[slender skiff]

Is like 3 30cm by 30cm shelves

Wait was it 30

Meh around there

[weak glacier]

i build most of my stuff, not just ikea

[slender skiff]

For me it's a space constraint

Unless I were to build something above the desk I guess

[quaint patrol]

nijisanji double fucked themselves again

nijisanji EN

[slender skiff]

I shouldn't be asking this but

What did they do now

We do have a vtuber thread btw

In #off-topic

[quaint patrol]

tf where

im going

[weak glacier]

how exactly small is your room?

I have the smallest room in my family

and that's saying something

[slender skiff]

2.7m by 3m

Iirc

[weak glacier]

wtf

my guy

[slender skiff]

My old room was 3.5 by 3

[weak glacier]

You aren't in prison?

[slender skiff]

Welcome to the lovely space constrained world of Singapore

Or country rather

But yes

The whole house is 110 sq ft

This new house has a bigger living room

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

So all the rooms got shunted

[weak glacier]

I'll have to check but I'll back fr this time

My room is probably triple your size lol

I think my bed is about the same size as your room

[slender skiff]

If your bed is 9 feet long I'd be concerned

[silver robin]

aint no way

how tf are you surviving

[slender skiff]

I mean

I totally got the units wrong
It's 110sqm

But no seriously

It's not big

[weak glacier]

about 7 feet including the frame

[slender skiff]

So the standard length

Tho it's a queen

Yeah

[weak glacier]

it's queen size

but

[slender skiff]

Mines a single

[weak glacier]

we have bigger sizes lol

[slender skiff]

For obvious reasons

[weak glacier]

we have one that is 108"

Alaskak king

Jesus christ

It's enough to fit your mom

I spent $130 on a commission. This isn't the final since he's doing a color one soon

Man

This is just sad

A man needs to have a big shelf

[somber relic]

I do have proper book shelf, but it's for non-fiction (and few fiction) books my parents owned lol

oh and several old novels I have before I entered uni I guess

[weak glacier]

My dad has his own collection

Which is like 4 times bigger than mine

[weak glacier]

Stony and the iron wall looks like this one is going to be a ecchi romcom

I freaking called it!!!

No wonder his nickname is stony. The boy is a stone

This is gorgeous!!

[trim swan]

[silver robin]

something something has efa in the title

[whole berry]

Introvert hook ups?

[jovial dew]

is record of ragnarok good?

[somber relic]

if you like Kengan Ashura you probably will like RoR as well

or to put it simply, it's good if you like manga/anime with braindead 1v1 duels plot

the art and combat is good

[somber relic]

(don't watch the anime btw, they are dogshit)

for both Kengan and RoR

[thorn briar]

[somber relic]

@trim swannice tachi library you got there

[trim swan]

that wasn't library

it was search results

my library is a lot worse

[jovial dew]

wha?

what do you mean?

[jovial dew]

oh

[zinc lance]

man i hate those "what happened back then" episodes

[potent schooner]

Recap episodes?

[cedar furnace]

The face reminds me of this cuz of the smooth white face and the eyes

Also the little point for a nose

[stable herald]

How good is that, medaka box

[trim swan]

it's just an LN at that point

[thorn briar]

Too much text

[somber relic]

it's one of Nisioisin's work, so if you ask if its good or not, better try to read it by yourself

at least among all of Nisioisin's work, Medaka Box is most likely the least weird one

also his most succesful original manga work since most of Nisio's original manga work rarely surpass 4 volumes barrier

[stable herald]

"weird ones"

sounds fun

lmao tqvm

[somber relic]

all of Nisioisin's work got weird plot

lol

especially when it come to manga

it can be totally deranged

speaking from my own experience

[somber relic]

oh yeah together with Detective Kyouko something, though that one is based on his novel

[stable herald]

Noted

tqvm

[somber relic]

this manhwa has great art cover

https://www.amazon.com/Ruler-Land-2-Keuk-Jin-Jeon/dp/1413900372

[somber relic]

exacly what I said

it mostly 1v1 duel fight - someone lose - some talk and little bit of drama plot yadda yadda - 1v1 duel fight again - repeat

a lot of ppl love that kind of story for some reason

I guess one of the reason is because you don't need to turn on your brain while reading them

but they still got good combat and art, which is one of their main appeal

[cedar furnace]

Do they actually say something or is it just gibberish

[somber relic]

for 100 girlfriend it's not gibberish

dunno about the rest of them

[somber relic]

but it still safe to ignore/skip

[cedar furnace]

I feel like the second season is going to age well like the first one did

[ivory mauve]

"Secret girl through the filter"

[trim swan]

so it's not something something efa

[ivory mauve]

Efa is the girls online name

[trim swan]

@silver robin you lied to me 🤬🤬

[slender skiff]

Can't say I didn't see this coming but

Lol, lmao even

[ivory mauve]

Nomitter spoiled this last year

[trim swan]

fuck

and I am downloading the lastest episode

I just had to read that

[slender skiff]

I mean frankly nothing came of this thought process he had so

Don't think he's gonna actually realise it for a while

[ivory mauve]

Pretty obvious

[slender skiff]

I was still 50-50 between her and Sangha

But this more or less confirmed it

As cute as the animation is

Just gotta change the mouth movements a bit

Fate/Strange Fake

That's Hippolyta

[quaint patrol]

oh

Im scared of reading fate

[slender skiff]

It's written by the guy who wrote durarara and baccano

Currently at 8 volumes, with all of them fan TLed iirc

[quaint patrol]

@slender skiffso i just read this scene in class with people behind me

and im like

can people read this n no no

[slender skiff]

Aaaaand this is why I turn down my brightness

[quaint patrol]

good idea

[slender skiff]

Or ya know
Get one of those privacy screen protectors

I don't personally use them tho

[quaint patrol]

i havent yet bought them

I know what you're talking about

[slender skiff]

As much as I see the point in them

I think they'll be more irritating than anything for me

Since it would mean I can't just leave my phone flat on the desk and let the game run

Wouldn't be able to see shit unless I lifted my head over it

[quaint patrol]

yea I was thinking about how shit it would be on phones

but laptop is alright

[trim swan]

just let everyone know you're a degenerate

life can't get worse if you're at the bottom

[silver robin]

What volume

[quaint patrol]

towards the end of 4

[silver robin]

ah ok

I’ll get there in like 3 months trust

[quaint patrol]

how did you recommend me to start at 4 even tho you havent read it

where are you at in bookworm

[silver robin]

i read the web novel up until probably where this season of anime is gonna end

like 6 years ago

then i watched anime s1 then ender said yea anime ended at ln volume 4 and i trust ender

[silver robin]

Finished p1

[quaint patrol]

qt

the slow life of rit, red, and ruti

which is starting to annoy me

these names

[silver robin]

[cedar furnace]

Wait is it also a joke to bully people who like dubs?

And the whole lolicon thing?

Is that a joke too?

And how isekais are unoriginal and repetitive?

I got sooooo many questions

[trim swan]

nah those are what you'd call facts

[jovial dew]

I CHOOSE YOU

come with me

[trim swan]

take me

[thorn briar]

What's wafer again

What is this

Reading and then there were none

The beginning reminded me of 2 cases that happened in komonhashi ron deranged detective

It's literally where all the people connected to the case that elliot was supposed to so to kill a certain man , but he didn't

And they were all gathered by milo

With ron and isshiki

And some of them got killed and there corpses looked like the dishes they ate

I think this is the 2nd time I'm getting spoiled for agatha christie novels , cause 1st time it was in conan , 2nd time it's in komonhashi ron

[cedar furnace]

So people really do bully dub watchers to be mean?
People really hate lolicon?
And isekais really are unoriginal and repetitive?

[trim swan]

umm

yeah

[cedar furnace]

Then again with the Vaush and OC gangsta stuff I can kinda see why for number 2

[trim swan]

the only morally wrong thing here is hating on dub watchers

[cedar furnace]

And for number 3 I guess demand is a thing but I don't get number 1

[trim swan]

it's really hard to have an anime dubbed and not destroy what the characters are vocally trying to convey so most dubs are just bad

also they give a cartoonish feeling

[cedar furnace]

From my experience it's kinda a generalization/exaggeration but the part I don't get is why people care what language someone watches it in

Like you guys don't but I've seen it so many times

[thorn briar]

@echo quiver look what I found

Don't lose your WAAAAAAY

[weak glacier]

I might be overdoing this

[weak glacier]

holy moly batman, this is actually pretty based

she actually voiced 3 of my favs

[slender skiff]

How many of said 3 did you actually watch subbed

[weak glacier]

I don't watch subbed, but the 3 are Ryuuko, Jupiter, and Beidou

[slender skiff]

Exactly

[weak glacier]

and?

[shut lion]

and that means you dont know how good her voice is

[weak glacier]

I just said she voices my fav characters

[stable herald]

but never or rarely heard her actually voicing on those characters on sub

got it

your type of people always impressed me, in an entertaining way though

not bad way

[weak glacier]

[stable herald]

[cedar furnace]

I like this little set up

It's nice VA appreciation

[thorn briar]

I miss watching d.gray-man

[thorn briar]

Allen's comment on what wisely said

There is a character in and then there were none called justice wargrave

[dry moon]

I wanna hsr manga

The plots so much better than hi3

Not hi3

Sorry

Genshin

[silver robin]

same

[thorn briar]

I started rewatching d.gray-man

I already cried cause of the opening

I miss you ||since he got destroyed by apocryphs||

[cedar furnace]

Is that a meme reference

[thorn briar]

I found the panel I wanted for tyki

[slender skiff]

Is it really?

[dry moon]

Genshin plot feels kinda

What’s the word

[slender skiff]

I dunno

If you compare like for like

They're pretty much equal imo

[dry moon]

I mean, it’s not terrible

But I feel like the hsr plot line is more coherent

[slender skiff]

Penacony aside since it hasn't finished cooking

[dry moon]

Yah

[slender skiff]

Luofu arc sucks

[dry moon]

Heeeey

It’s not bad

The main story for loufu was meh, but the heliobus part is good

I liked it

[slender skiff]

That's the thing

Like for like

[dry moon]

Where’s that “im stupid, please explain” sticker from alm

[slender skiff]

HSR and Genshin are fundamentally different games

[dry moon]

Mhm

[slender skiff]

So naturally, so will their stories take different form

[dry moon]

Ah

Yeah

[slender skiff]

While yes, the heliobus story is part of the "main quest" in HSR

It isn't part of the overarching story

[dry moon]

Mhm

Yeah they’re pretty equal, I suppose

[slender skiff]

Same with the Aurum Valley stuff

[dry moon]

Alley

Yeah

[slender skiff]

Ah yes alley

I'm totally not being traumatised by FFXIV

[dry moon]

Ugh

Dzemael darkhold is arguably worse though

Aurum is fine with people who know what they’re doing

Dzemael just randomly fucks you on the last boss

[slender skiff]

If I were to compare like for like in this case

Stuff like Aurum and Heliobus

Should be compared with the major world quests

[weak glacier]

30 episodes into yugioh

(duelists)

[slender skiff]

Like... Yes Aranara questline

Or Jeht

Not that Genshin story hasn't failed to hit the mark before...

Inazuma archon quest just sucks really hard in general

Liyue and Luofu would be the best like to like comparison

[weak glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-count-counting-fairy-tail-fingers-gif-14118234988873194983

14?

[slender skiff]

Their main story isn't the best, but they're helped out tremendously by the "extra" quests

[slender skiff]

Yes

With that said of Luofu tho

Jarilo really cooked for HSR

If it didn't, I doubt HSR would have been this successful

In any case

If you were to look at the comics Genshin has made

They largely shed light on past events

Before the traveler hit teyvat

That's how we know the extent of how poor Collei was mistreated by Dottore

And if you were to compare with the HI3 comics...

Those are actually required to be read if you want to make any attempt at parsing the story in its entirety

The game literally links you out to the damn comics from within the story chapters

I mean you could just ignore them as I did initially, but then you find the story jumps quite a bit

I.e there's no flow between major story arcs

At the end

The question would be

Assuming if there was a HSR comic/manga

What would it even be about?

[thorn briar]

Lero

[slender skiff]

HSR has no issue for the flow between stories
And the only feasible "before" story would be like
The express crew's adventures before they met the trailblazer I guess?
